Chapter 754 The truth ten years ago
Just as Zuo Yu had expected, the news that Hai Wen graduated from Ernst College with the level of a Saint Magician was like a bomb dropped into the ocean called Magnolia Continent, causing a storm in an instant.
In just two days, this news spread throughout the Yulan Continent at the speed of light.
The first ones to get the news were naturally the nearest Kingdom of Finlay and the Holy See of Light.
After the brief shock, the two immediately began to arrange manpower to try to contact Haiwen.
Although the Kingdom of Finlay is the first of the six kingdoms under the Holy Alliance, it is only a vassal of the Holy See of Light. All high-level and powerful people with ambitions will directly skip the kingdom and choose to join the Holy See of Light.
This resulted in the strongest warriors and magicians in the Finlay Kingdom being only at level nine.
For them, a strong man at the level of the Holy Domain is just out of reach.
Therefore, after learning the news, King Clyde's first reaction was to please the Baruch family from Haven.
He quickly made the current patriarch of the Baruch family, Hogg, a duke, and placed a large amount of territory around Wushan Town under the rule of the Baruch family. Then he sent his biological brother, Duke Paterson, to lead a large group of troops and bring valuable An expensive gift worth tens of millions of gold coins goes to Wushan Town.
In addition, Lin Lei, who is also a genius, has also been included in the list of people who need to work hard to win over.
The royal family and nobles, including King Clyde, organized a group to come to Ernst College and wanted to visit Linley.
But unfortunately, Linley had not returned from the Warcraft Mountains at that time, so even if the King of Finlay Kingdom came in person, he could only see the deputy dean-level teachers in the college, as well as the three Linleys, Yale, George and Renault. roommate.
As for the so-called nobles of the kingdom who once visited Lin Lei in the original book, they are now not even qualified to visit Lin Lei at home.
They can only please the Baruch family and indirectly leave the slightest impression in front of Hai Wen by conducting commercial trade with Wushan Town and exchanging profits in the trade.
This is the deterrent power of the strong men of the Holy Domain in Yulan Continent!
With the strength that Hai Wen has shown now, the Kingdom of Finlay, which was still a giant in Lin Lei's eyes before, has become a small existence that needs to flatter and please the Baruch family.
The only people who are qualified to meet Haiwen are the Holy See of Light, a huge entity that truly occupies a place in the Yulan Continent.
Just like now, Lin Lei is still in the academy and he is honestly letting the painter paint his portrait, while Hai Wen has left impatiently and ran to meet the envoys who came from the headquarters of the Holy See of Light.
"Thanks a lot!"
After finishing the portrait, Lin Lei politely thanked the old court painter.
The old painter was flattered and bowed quickly, saying that Mr. Lin Lei did not have to be like this.
Seeing this scene, Lin Lei sighed and had no choice but to accept the old man's bow, then stood up and left the quiet room.
As soon as he went out, Haiwen's figure appeared in front of him.
Looking at Lin Lei who seemed to be not very interested, Hai Wen asked in surprise: "What's going on? Weren't you interested in leaving portraits before? Why do you look so listless now?"
...What do you think?
Lin Lei glanced at Hai Wen and recalled that Hai Wen and Di Lin had decided on the life and death of the Holy Dragon in a few words before, and couldn't help but sigh.
Obviously, the impact of this incident on Lin Lei was far stronger than Haiwen imagined, and it was even more effective than Zuo Yu's earnest preaching.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Uncle, how are your talks with the Holy See of Light going?"
"Oh, we have already negotiated. The Pope of Light named Heitings is quite easy to talk to. He agreed to all my requests. The only condition is that the Baruch family will join the Holy Alliance in name."
Having said this, Haiwen smiled and said: "To put it simply, it means that I will clearly stand between the Holy See of Light and the Holy See of Darkness."
"This condition is quite acceptable. However, considering that the condition refers to the Baruch family, I did not agree to Haitings hastily. I thought I would come back first to listen to your and Hogg's opinions..."
Lin Lei looked stunned and said, "Is this the Pope himself?"
"Well, the Saint Realm strongmen in the Holy See of Light are very busy. They are either cultivating in secret or spreading their faith in the Territory of Chaos. There are no more than three Saint Realm strongmen staying in the Holy City, so Pope Heitings came here in person. .”
After hearing Haiwen's calm words, Linley finally calmed down from the shock.
Yes, my uncle is now more than just a strong man from the Holy Realm.
What does the Holy Pope of Light mean? Even the god-level monsters will be overwhelmed by him!
Hai Wen looked at Lin Lei's expression and felt that he didn't seem to be interested in staying here any longer.
So Haiwen said with a smile: "Anyway, let's go back to Wushan Town first!"
Lin Lei came back to his senses, nodded slightly and said: "Yes."
…
…
As mentioned before, the distance between Wushan Town and Fenlai City is not that far.
Even if it's just an ordinary war horse, it only takes one day to get there.
As for the team led by Paterson, as an envoy representing King Clyde, they naturally had Warcraft horses with more powerful legs to travel on their behalf, and they traveled much faster than ordinary war horses.
In just a few hours, a gift-giving mission of up to 800 people arrived in Wushan Town.
Also accompanying him were the caravans under the top nobles of the Kingdom of Finlay, as well as the Dawson Chamber of Commerce personnel sent by Yale.
Thousands of people poured into Wushan Town in a short period of time, making this originally remote town extremely lively and prosperous.
Various nobles and chambers of commerce brought precious gifts, so much that even the front yard of the Baruch family could not fit in them. They had to temporarily send servants to clean the abandoned backyards and houses and pile up the extra gifts there.
Perhaps for the sake of gifts, Hogg warmly received them and held a banquet in the central square of Wushan Town for all visiting nobles and even guards and servants.
Regarding Hogg's reaction, all the nobles, including the prince's younger brother, Duke Paterson, expressed great joy.
Even though they felt in their hearts that Hogg, a country nobleman, was too vulgar, he actually allowed the guards and servants to sit with them. On the surface, they still maintained the reserved etiquette expected of a nobleman.
Everything seemed to be as prosperous as it seemed, and the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves.
But in fact……
"Bang!"
That evening, in the back room of the Baruch family, Hogg, who had been smiling enthusiastically during the day, was clenching his fists angrily, and his entire right arm was filled with fine green dragon scales under the action of the fighting spirit in his body, and then... The fist blasted a boulder into pieces.
"Paterson...Paterson!"
Hogg's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth as he looked at the broken stones in front of him. Fighting energy burst out from his whole body, and he crushed them into powder.
"I didn't expect you to deliver it to your door yourself!"
Hearing the unforgettable hatred in Hogg's tone, Hillman next to him couldn't help but look worried, and said softly: "Master, please bear with it a little longer. When Master Haiwen and Master Lin Lei come back, we will..."
"I know!"
Hogg interrupted Hillman's words, turned his back to Hillman and whispered: "Of course I know, but Hillman, whenever I think about what happened ten years ago, I feel like I'm being shaken by thousands of people. It's as painful as being eaten by thousands of ants..."
"Ten years, ten years, I really don't want to wait any longer!"
"Lina's death must be——"
"boom!!"
Before he finished speaking, an extremely terrifying aura erupted from the sky above Wushan Town.
Hogg's pupils shrank, ignoring the tears flowing from the corners of his eyes, and quickly raised his head to look at the sky.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, two tall figures descended from the sky amid the turbulent elements of heaven and earth.
The shorter boy among them widened his eyes and looked at Hogg blankly. The taller and stronger boy next to him had his feet off the ground, with an extremely terrifying and powerful aura escaping from his body. He was just suspended in the air, with his face in front of him. She looked at him expressionlessly and said:
"...Hogg, what did you say?"
"Lina, didn't she die in childbirth?!"
"Yes, Father!"
Lin Lei next to him came to his senses and couldn't help but stepped forward to grab Hogg's shoulders. Dragon scales appeared on his already thick arms in the excitement, and in the blink of an eye they turned into two ferocious dragons wrapped in pitch black scales. claw.
"Didn't my mother die in childbirth because she gave birth to little Wharton?"
"Is there a hidden secret behind this matter? Did...you lied to us?!"
Linley's eyes widened and he looked at Hogg with blood red eyes.
At the same time, Linley subconsciously exerted force on his arms, and the dark dragon claws were like the sharpest weapons in the world, easily piercing the green dragon scales on Hogg's arms and sinking into the flesh wrapped in the scales.
Blood flowed out along with traces of pain.
Hogg opened his eyes wide and looked at this scene with a somewhat stunned expression.
"...Lin Lei, you have also become a dragon-blooded warrior?!"
"Of course, but this kind of thing doesn't matter. Tell me first, mother, she..."
Before he finished speaking, Linley, who was holding Hogg's shoulder, was punched away by Haiwen. He turned into a black stream of light and crashed into the nearby house. He was then buried in the rising smoke and the collapsed house with a loud noise.
"calm down."
Hai Wen glanced at Lin Lei who was buried, then turned to look at Hogg and said calmly: "I understand your behavior of concealing the truth before, but now, we should be qualified to know the truth, right?"
Saying this, jet-black dragon scales appeared all over Haiwen's body, and he floated into Godzilla form.
Hogg's eyes widened and he stared at him blankly. After coming back to his senses, he couldn't help but said excitedly: "Not only is it magic, your warrior level has also reached the holy realm?!"
"Great, great!"
Hogg was so excited that he was speechless.
Hillman next to him also reacted and looked at Haven with excitement.
"boom!"
There was another loud noise, and the broken house was blasted open. Linley's figure, who had also transformed into Godzilla, stood up unscathed, and then appeared next to Hogg and Hillman as if teleporting.
Those blue vertical pupils were staring at Hogg in front of him.
"……I see."
Hogg calmed down, patted Lin Lei on the shoulder with a complicated expression, and then softly told the truth about ten years ago.
