C14 Chapter 14

Knowing that Lilrose was the one who sold him, Yeh Ling kept a distance from them and also worried about Lord Galen in his heart. He seemed to have no wariness towards beauties, and even if his opponent was Diman, this time, he was still the head of the number one intelligence union in the entire continent. Although he said that she only knew a few tricks, but facing Lord Galen who was not wary at all, it was enough.

After that, Yeh Ling would often look at Lilrose from afar in silence. Originally, he wanted to say his old location as long as he took care of the Synthetic Beast, but he couldn't help but pay more attention to Lilrose's movements.

Lilrose naturally knew that Yeh Ling was paying attention to her. However, he didn't seem to be cautious and didn't immediately report his actions, so she waited patiently. She didn't want Galen's life to be just a misunderstanding, but … Rather than waiting for some boring treasure, he might as well tease the child and relieve his boredom.

Just like that, a few more days passed, and the day when the leader was finally forced out was approaching.

"From the looks of it, there will be an outcome in the next few days." Loong Lin held the Diagram Array and confirmed the reaction of the machine in Luh Ya's house.

"Hmm …" Yeh Ling had a general idea that the quest was steadily progressing. The only thing he had any doubts about was the mutated monster from the beginning. In the battles later on, not a single monster could mutate like the one before, so Yeh Ling didn't pay much attention to the opportunity to change.

"Yeh Ling, you don't seem to be in high spirits these days. Weren't you looking forward to coming here before?" Luh Ya suddenly pointed out the recent phenomenon. Loong Lin also put down the information and set his gaze on Yeh Ling.

"... What do you think of this woman Lilrose? " Yeh Ling decided to talk about what he was worried about recently.

However, Loong Lin looked at him weirdly, "Your taste is really special."

"Yeh Ling, so it turns out that you like mature women!" It appeared. Luh Ya attacked with full force.

"No …" It's what you think, I mean do you think she will be a threat to Lord Galen? " Yeh Ling's face turned red as he hastily clarified.

"You mean?" Loong Lin doesn't seem to understand Wu's concerns.

"Extract Lord Galen?" Luh Ya really likes to shift the focus.

The moment he said that, Loong Lin's face turned serious. "Although some people like Formal-Hat Traveler would sell their bodies for a living, but as the president, I don't think she has any worries about living, right?"

"But I'm afraid that she might sell or assassinate Lord Galen for her personal wealth." Yeh Ling finally voiced his concern.

"Can you say that in more detail?" He could not underestimate these issues. He was very clear that King Ava wanted his father's head for a huge reward. It was not strange for anyone to come and take his head.

"When I was at Leezi Hotel, it was Lilrose who sold his position to Diman. It was also Lilrose who sold me to Liz Hotel. She's someone who sees money with her own eyes, so I'm very worried."

"Formal-Hat Traveler is not that surprised to see her rich. Don't worry, I will keep an eye on her." In his heart, Loong Lin silently thanked Lilrose. She did not sell Yeh Ling inland in Ava Country to sell him her extraordinary Bodhisattva heart, and it was only because of this that he was able to meet the outstanding Yeh Ling.

"But didn't you say Chiska was the one who told you that Diman wanted to kill Lord Galen? Not all of them are bad people. " Luh Ya suddenly said.

This made Yeh Ling lower his head helplessly, but he said that to Chiska in a fit of rage. This must have hurt her a lot, but had she always been working under that woman? No wonder he complained.

At this moment, the alarm sounded again. Which match was this? So much that Yeh Ling couldn't be bothered to calculate.

Yeh Ling had been promoted to the position of swordsman in the previous matches, and although Lord Galen had told him that he could move alone and that he didn't want to arouse any controversy, he still wanted to follow the usual rules.

Initially, he had wanted to bring him here to fight Synthetic Beast and see what difference he had compared to ordinary people, but after these few days, he had come to the conclusion that he had talent.

Why was such a child chosen by the Archean Thing?

"You shouldn't be the only one who can broaden my horizons …" Lilrose, who was at the side, suddenly answered.

"Lord Galen's actions clearly showed that it would be difficult for him to pull out the lion's whiskers and leave unscathed."

Unexpectedly, Galen was able to see through his thoughts, so he smiled awkwardly, "The best result is to smoothly obtain the treasures, there shouldn't be any unexpected problems, right?"

"Scram!" If we can't set a time bomb, we'll be fine, but that will depend on master's luck. "

"Luck..." Thinking about Galen's sad reply from before, "I don't want to experience such good luck again."

Perhaps most people were just praying that it would end soon, as this wish was heard by the goddess not long after the chaotic battle, the black liquid seeped out of the hole again. At this time, the beast that rushed out was not a small sized beast, but a giant beast that was several times larger.

At this moment, Xia Nong, who was at the front, shouted, "The leader is here!"

Although this was to be expected, it also meant that the war was coming to an end.

At this time, the Fire Rod soldiers behind it shot tens of thousands of shots at it in succession, stopping it from advancing any further. At this time, the frontmost chain-soldier fiercely attacked the beast's four limbs with the blunt weapon in his hand. Although it was huge in size, it still lost its balance after being attacked for a short period of time.

At this moment, it was the gap between the spike soldier and the sword soldier as they jumped onto the beast's body and attacked its scales one by one. It struggled and twisted its huge body in pain, and soon after, its eyes opened, and the scales in the middle loosened, revealing a red stone like core.

Yeh Ling watched from a short distance, thinking that the one leading them wasn't that strong, it was just large.

The core group of people cheered, indicating that they have already defeated the monsters in this relic, and the next thing to do was to split the treasures.

Heaven Lady originally thought it was over, but now she came to Yeh Ling and whispered, "It's not over..."

"Why? The leaders are already dead. " Yeh Ling didn't understand its meaning.

Just as it was wondering why the monster was killed at the same time, it suddenly started twisting its body. A wound appeared on its back and another monster ran out from it.

"Is it exactly the same as the one in the beginning? Is it an evolution?"

Heaven Lady ignored his surprise and replied, "Ride on my horse and finish the dirty experiment."

"What do you mean? Do you want me to beat it? "

He wasn't deaf, that was what she meant. He watched the evolved fusion monster remove its gray skin, which looked like an adult's but kept screaming. The soldier immediately retreated. Some people couldn't stand its screams and fainted on the spot.

Obviously, the soldiers had never encountered such a situation before, so the formation was thrown into chaos. This grey humanoid monster only had its upper body and lower body connected to the body that was previously knocked down. It was truly disgusting to look at.

Although it was not scared, it subconsciously covered its forehead. It was similar to a fusion monster, it also had a core in the forehead, but compared to the previous huge need to hide it with scales, this time it was almost impossible to see it from a distance. If it wasn't subconsciously protecting the forehead, Yeh Ling would not have realized it.

However, its forehead was more than ten feet away from the ground, so it was not easy to climb onto its body. However, its forehead was more than ten feet away from the ground, so it was not easy to climb onto its body.

Just when Yeh Ling was troubled, he accidentally saw the rope beside the monster that was used to lift up the soil that was carried out of the cave. Yeh Ling had an idea and jumped on Heaven Lady's back, riding beside Chiska and said, "I can think of a way to instantly defeat it, but I need your gunpowder to divert its attention. Can you help me?"

Chiska unwillingly looked at Yeh Ling not long after, reached out her hand to let Yeh Ling pull her onto the back of the horse. Chiska unwillingly looked at Yeh Ling not long after, reached out her hand for Yeh Ling to pull her on the horse.

"Please leave! We're going to put out explosives! "

Upon hearing that people would always back off when it was time to release the explosives, Yeh Ling was sure that people would all retreat before allowing Chiska to place the explosives around the monster. There were several times when Chiska almost got hit by the giant hand of the monster.

After determining the location of the explosives, they also quickly left. Yeh Ling put down Chiska, and at the same time, he took advantage of the Explosive Rock to burst into thick smoke. He instantly wanted to go around it and grab the rope attached to the belt around his waist, while the other rope was bitten by Heaven Lady and instantly ran away in another direction. Yeh Ling was instantly pulled up by more than ten feet, almost to the same height as its forehead.

"Ah!

He used all his strength to forcefully stab the sword into the red light.

"Sigh... hehe..." Yeh Ling only heard it scream and shake the air, then he was thrown out.

Heaven Lady pulled on the rope again. This time, Yeh Ling was pulled back to the position of the pole again, but he couldn't adjust his position. Yeh Ling's right arm smashed into the pole ruthlessly.

"Good heavens! "Damn it! It hurts!" Yeh Ling vaguely felt his right arm cracking. After a scream, he was speechless for a few minutes until he was slowly put down by Heaven Lady. He reached out his left hand to protect his right arm and leaned weakly on the pole.

Heaven Lady walked over lightly and bowed once more. "You should prepare yourself for the reward."

At this moment, Yeh Ling had no way of thinking about the meaning behind its words. All he could think about was whether the monster had been defeated or not, and how much pain he should feel … … He could finally understand the feeling of Loong Lin's right arm being pierced. It was truly something he could endure.

When the smoke cleared, the leader of the fusion beasts was lying on the ground with an iron sword stuck in the middle of his forehead. Many soldiers were still confused about what was going on when Chiska suddenly raised her hands and shouted, "Divide the treasures!"

The rest of the students cheered in unison and announced that this half year long mission had finally come to an end.

No one could explain what was going on. Yeh Ling stood in front of the big hole, and in front of the group of workers, he brought out the expensive treasures, which was the main source of funding for the Subclone. Seeing this scene, Yeh Ling was not very happy, but Chiska did not pay attention to him anymore.

"Yeh Ling."

Hearing him turn around and look at Loong Lin, he handed the iron sword back to him. "Take this, this is the iron sword that's stuck in the core. I really want to ask how you got to the leader, but I don't think you will tell me."

The way Loong Lin said this seemed to be something he couldn't understand. It was like he was deliberately holding back, Yeh Ling was just about to explain that Loong Lin had snatched the opportunity to speak.

"The banquet tonight is being held by the Lord of Luccio. Father wants to announce that you are injured —" Even so, he saw that he was injured and kindly took out a bandage to help him with the simple treatment.

He immediately turned around and left after wrapping up the bandages. Yeh Ling hurriedly ran to Heaven Lady's side and asked in a low voice, "What did you mean by 'do well to prepare for the reward'?"

Heaven Lady only replied, "I'll take you to clean your body."

It seemed like she also wanted to keep him in suspense, so Yeh Ling couldn't question her further.

He really didn't think that anyone could be so talented and grow so much in a single battle. He really had to redefine Yeh Ling's strength, but when he thought about how Yeh Ling was just a few months ago when he was still acting like a child and his steps were too messy, he simply couldn't treat him as an opponent at that time …

How could he say that? It was hard to imagine how Yeh Ling was just about to turn 13 and see him being so clumsy towards me, especially when he saw him fighting so viciously with Synthetic Beast s. Was he pretending?

No …. How could he doubt Yeh Ling? He believed in himself so much, but he was still suspecting him. It was too terrible!

Lu Er suddenly stopped. Loong Lin looked around and noticed that there was nothing around but the forest and the river, then he slightly lowered his guard and went to the river bank to untie his armor. He couldn't imagine that the river near his old location must be packed like sardines, but luckily, he walked for a while and was about to untie the rope around his waist...

At this moment, the person in the middle of the river finally stood up. The river water reached his waist, so he soon noticed that there were also people by the river. When he saw Loong Lin, he had a hunch that Loong Lin had something to ask him.

He called out to Loong Lin, but he didn't expect him to be so shocked that he nearly fell over. However, he quickly steadied himself and walked to the bottom of the boulder to block his view. He only opened his mouth after a while.

"Why are you here?"

"Take a bath." Yeh Ling replied briefly.

"Of course I know you're bathing. I'm asking why you're here?"

Yeh Ling frowned and retorted, "Then why are you here?"

Loong Lin, who had his back against the rock, suddenly became speechless. His actions seemed to be avoiding him, he didn't know why, but when he saw Yeh Ling, he immediately hid himself. Now, it was impossible for him to leave, so how could he continue bathing behind the rock?

"Never mind, I won't force you even if you can't say it." He was indeed angry, but what was he angry about? Yeh Ling didn't have any clue at all.

At this moment, Loong Lin walked to a place further away from the river where there were stones. Only then did he feel relieved and untie the rope around his waist.

At this moment, Yeh Ling still couldn't wait and walked to the other side of the rock and said, "I came here because every time I take off my clothes near the old address, the people beside me would keep asking me about things, making it hard for me to take a bath."

"... What did they ask you? " Loong Lin was also curious.

"Many... "I think, for example, age, family name, experience, etc …" Yeh Ling had no idea how embarrassing it was for these soldiers to see Yeh Ling strip in front of them, so he quickly asked all sorts of questions to delay him.

"It's reasonable for them to be suspicious, but as long as you keep your mouth shut, they won't be able to get anything out of you."

Hearing his gentle tone, Yeh Ling finally dared to say, "I'm very sorry for not having discussed this with you when we were dealing with the leader today."

"What's there to apologize for? I'm not your captain, and since Lord Father has allowed you to move alone, others should not have any objections, but … " He couldn't say it, but his mouth wouldn't stop moving, as if his dissatisfaction was being vented.

"Recently, your performance has been very active, and my lord father is very happy. Although he has always praised me for guiding you from the side, but this praise is really my fault. I know that you may be very talented, but it inevitably reminds me of the past few times when you challenged me so recklessly, and yet you didn't perform as you did today. I feel very sad that in your heart, I'm not even comparable to a fusion monster."

"Huh?" Yeh Ling did not expect him to say this, and thinking carefully, he really did not know why. It was the first time an ordinary person saw a Synthetic Beast, and they would inevitably tremble and vomit, but their minds were filled with the desire to beat them. They were not afraid at all, and were even excited as they performed a series of actions that were out of the ordinary, as if this was not the first time they had fought with a Synthetic Beast, but rather countless times.

"Although you said that I can't answer your question, I'm sure of one thing. In my heart, how could you be worse than a Synthetic Beast? You have always been my goal, I …"

His words were immediately snatched away.

"You speak like that, but when you do things, it's completely different. I didn't expect you to be so shrewd in private despite looking so simple on the surface. I can't afford the goal you're talking about. Go find someone else …"

When he threw those words out, he also started to regret in his heart. Could it be that he was trying to calculate Yeh Ling's strength, and he was clearly misjudging Yeh Ling's strength and using words to belittle him, or to put it bluntly, he was jealous of Yeh Ling. How could he admit that he had never treated Yeh Ling as an opponent?

There was nothing about him that was worth being seen as a target.

"What's going on? What did I do wrong? "Why do you say that?" Yeh Ling was confused and his mind was in chaos.

"It's fine if you don't understand. I'm leaving."

Just when Loong Lin wanted to escape Yeh Ling's suspicion, he turned around and saw Yeh Ling's hair, which was slightly wet on his upper body, swaying along with the river. Loong Lin stood in front of him with a confused and troubled expression.

Suddenly, Loong Lin took a big step back as if he was extremely shocked. He covered his mouth with his hand. He finally knew why those people wanted to stop him from bathing. Who could hold back from doing that?

Why he himself did not realize how difficult it was to distinguish between a man and a woman, and why he was so troubled.

"Loong Lin, listen to me …"

"I don't want to hear it! Stay away from me now! " he roared, stepping back a few steps.

"Did I really make you hate me that much?" He just wanted to know why he was looking at him like he hated him.

"Sigh... I'm begging you, take a look at the atmosphere. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it later tonight.

"..." Yeh Ling had no choice but to obey him and retreat to the other side of the rock. Loong Lin seemed to have gotten onto the shore, put on his clothes and left, leaving only himself in the river.

He could not help but reveal a disappointed expression.

stria striata

Because he had defeated the monster in his old spot, Rukosi had expressed his gratitude by holding a celebration that night. Under brightly lit conditions, the soldiers that had been working hard for a long time stood together on the battlefield and drank wine together, while Dancing Lady was dancing in the empty space in the middle. The current atmosphere was extremely similar to that of the hotel.

He was anxious to find Loong Lin, but he was afraid that Loong Lin would ignore him because of this misunderstanding. He didn't even know how he offended him, so he would apologize first before anything else.

Just like this, before he found Loong Lin, he was found by Luo Beimu.

"Mr. Yeh Ling, please wait a moment!"

He turned around reluctantly. As expected, Luo Beimu just ran away like that. He had no choice but to stand still and let Luo Beimu walk in front of him.

"You really are busy. You went to the place where you rested several times. The people in the same tent as you said that you haven't come back for several days."

"Long story short, I still have things to do." Yeh Ling didn't want to hear him continuously recite poems.

Hearing that, Luo Beimu smiled, saving him the trouble and directly said, "My young master has always been optimistic about your ability. If you are willing to come to Rukosi now, we guarantee that your salary will jump three levels."

During this period of time, he had already chosen three people. No matter who heard that their salary would increase, they would quickly come over and ask when they could leave. Finding someone was not difficult, just finding someone with talent like him was not easy.

"Is that what you're going to say? Can I just refuse you? "

"Don't you want to think about it? It's almost a matter of life and death here. Who doesn't want to live a peaceful life … "

Luo Beimu's positive look did not move Yeh Ling in the slightest. "My peaceful life has long been ruined by Ava People, waiting in Subclone is the only way I can once again fight against the soldiers in Ava.

"This is simply nonsense, a peaceful life for all of Chakrone's citizens? Just how is a small mercenary like you supposed to do it? " Yeh Ling's words infuriated Luo Beimu.

He remembered that when he was young, he had always been thinking like this and worked hard to practice his martial arts. However, after experiencing it all along, he could only use the word 'discouraged' to describe himself. Without the king's influence, he would not be able to protect himself and would only be reduced to a tool for others.

"Maybe I'm just a small mercenary that can't do anything, but as long as I'm loyal to King Chakrone, I'm not just a flag anymore!"

"King Chakrone? King Chakrone? We've waited for more than five hundred years and we've still yet to appear. During this time, those who have thought of you more or less begged us, but we've still not been able to get what we wanted. Fake King has appeared many times, forget about it, it's a waste of time to waste time talking with you.

"Then wait slowly! I will never give up. " After saying that, Yeh Ling left with a fretful mood.

Luo Beimu was left on the spot feeling troubled, "How are we going to explain this to young master now?"

Once Dancing Lady had finished dancing, Galen walked up to the stage and said in a low voice, "Everyone, thank you for your hard work. After Dancing Lady had finished dancing, Galen walked up to the lower part of the stand and said in a short voice," Everyone, thank you for your hard work.

The soldiers all looked towards the stands. They heard Galen had an important matter to attend to and hoped that it wasn't bad news.

"I want to decide an important matter here. I have considered this question for a long time, but I think doing so will be a reflection of Subclone's future. I hereby announce that I will bestow upon the soldier who defeated the mutated monster by himself, Hites's surname."

When Galen's words came out, everyone started to stir up. They looked all over the place, wondering who had the ability to make Galen give out such a great reward. The background of this person should be quite big.

"Yeh Ling!" Upon hearing Galen call his name, Yeh Ling, who was still looking for Loong Lin, instantly stopped and looked towards the stands. The surrounding people's gazes were all locked onto him.

"... What happened? " Yeh Ling still didn't understand the situation, so the surrounding people kept on discussing.

"It's a new face …."

"Are you sure he is a mercenary? It's not the Dancing Lady who just left by herself? "

"Did you find the wrong person? How did he defeat the leader with his weak look? "

Galen ignored the whispers below and said, "Yeh Ling, you're the one who should come up!"

"I'll tell you guys frankly that he's only thirteen years old this year, but he's also a rare genius by himself. Although it's my fault that he went to the battlefield at the age of fifteen, he can make up for it with his outstanding performance. From today onwards, someone will be asking for your name, so state your name this way!"

"Eh? This isn't appropriate! "Lord Galen, that's inappropriate!" Yeh Ling was so anxious that he wanted to reject this honor. Because his name was Yeh Ling Hites, then what was Loong Lin considered to be? He felt like he was taking away Loong Lin's identity. He couldn't do that.

Galen was puzzled by his question, "What's wrong with it?" Weren't you the one who took the lead? "

"Yes …" It's true, but! " He was robbed again before he could finish.

"That's it! Therefore, my name is very fair this time! This is your reward, please accept it happily! " Since Lord Galen said so in such a grand manner, Yeh Ling could only nod.

Although there was no expression on his face, it was hard to guess what he was thinking. He turned his head to look at Chiska on the other side, and the expression on her face was clear, it was just an expression of disgust. Even he had become the noble she hated the most, so it was not surprising to have such an expression on his face.

Not long after the announcement was made, Yeh Ling was surrounded before the campfire. Everyone kept talking, but they were probably asking, "How did you kill the leader on your own?" These words weren't too far away.

Yeh Ling was unable to explain that Heaven Lady had helped him. In addition, his arm was injured, so even though the pain would lessen a lot at night, he still had to be careful.

Finally, he broke away from the crowd and saw Loong Lin and Luh Ya chatting. Yeh Ling was about to go over when Luo Beimu appeared in front of him once again.

"Young Master Yeh Ling should call you that from now on, right?"

Hearing this weird title, Yeh Ling immediately scolded, "No need to go back to normal. Whether I'm given a surname or not, my goal will not change."

He didn't have the leisure to care that the person he was looking for was Loong Lin. Originally, he wanted to circle around Luo Beimu, but he insisted on blocking in front of him.

"If you have something to say, then say it. I'm busy right now."

Facing Yeh Ling's somewhat impatient look, Luo Beimu shook his head: "What I want to say is, now that you are Galen's adopted son, he has nothing to say when the mission Young Master failed for me, I saw that you wanted to resist just now, so I wanted to give you a few words of advice, if you want to quickly fight against Ava Soldier, becoming a Subclone Zhou Steel is the fastest shortcut, after all, this is Galen Wei's wish, to nurture a group of mercenaries that is on par with Ava Soldier."

What Luo Beimu said was right. For his goal, this title would be of great help to him, but this was only with the premise that he wouldn't fall out with Loong Lin. He didn't know when he started to care about Loong Lin's feelings, before, he didn't care about who he thought at all.

"Since you have given me your advice, I also want to give you a few words of advice. Divan, Hites, is just a willful young master, not to mention whether he will become the next Lord of Rukosi, just based on his life of eating and drinking, becoming a Lord will not become an outstanding Lord. In my opinion, he even has problems calculating his own territory's income and expenditure, bloodline does not represent everything."

"You're right."

Yeh Ling didn't expect Luo Beimu to admit it so readily. "Did you say that just now?"

"I said, you're right, because five people died at one time due to his willfulness, he almost lost his life. That way, I would have to resign from taking care of him in the near future, Young Lord who doesn't know his place."

"Actually, there aren't that many heavy swordsmen in this country. If you want to come to Subclone, I would welcome you very much."

He truly believed that no matter which Territory it was, they would lack Swordsman. Luo Beimu's aptitude was considered rather high and he was not afraid of having no future.

"How did it turn out to be you?" Luo Beimu replied to Yeh Ling teasingly, "I should be going to the Zambret. The system there is more complete than here, I still lack the training to go there first."

"I thought you were like Divan and Hites, I apologize for my misunderstanding."

"No, anyone would think so, the reason why Rukosi becomes the economic lifeline is because of the repeated excavations in this place along with the fact that they have a large number of mines in their possession. If that's the case, don't bother us anymore."

He nodded at Yeh Ling and left.

Yeh Ling looked around and found that Loong Lin was still standing there. His eyes were looking at Luh Ya on the other side as well. Yeh Ling also looked towards the direction where their gazes met. It was the core fragment after the mutation that Lord Galen was arguing with Lilrose.

Synthetic Monster Core Fragment was very different from Synthetic Beast Core Fragment. Synthetic Monster Core was a material for crafting rune stones, which was very hard to come by. On the other hand, after the death of Synthetic Beast, the core of Synthetic Beast was worse than stone.

"You still haven't mastered the rune stone making technique yet, so this material is basically useless. Let me handle it!" I'm willing to trade five boxes of Supermetal materials with you. "

Lilrose was planning on using all of their Supermetal s to exchange for a core. From this, one could see how precious a core was.

"I'm sorry, Miss Lilrose, although you're so generous and wanted to give me all of the Supermetal, but this core is the one that Tyre asked me for a long time ago. I'm not a disloyal person, and the purity of this core is rather high.

Lilrose seemed distressed as she pressed her hand against her chest, thinking deeply for a while. Then, she said, "There's nothing we can do. We'll do it again, except for 5 boxes of Supermetal s, 10 boxes of scales that can be synthesized, and two-thirds of the ancient gold coins …" Lilrose leaned in front of Galen intentionally and said, "I will deal with Lilrose myself."

"Huh?" Chiska, who was not far away, suddenly shouted.

The other people instantly understood the meaning of her words, and one by one, they began to shout. Go on! "If you retreat here, you won't be a man!"

Galen was suddenly in a dilemma. He turned around and looked at Tyre, who was behind him, only to see him shaking his head with all his might. He had never experienced something like this before, so he was clearly asking for the wrong person.

He quickly looked past Xia Nong at Loong Lin's face. This time, his face was really smelly. He sighed and lowered his head to reply, "Since you've already made your decision, I'm too embarrassed to refuse. Please follow me to the deal establishment, Miss Lilrose."

When he heard that Lord Galen had agreed to the scene, it became even noisier. At that time, Yeh Ling only thought about not letting Lord Galen and Lilrose be alone and said, "I also want to go with them."

He said it, but the noise overshadowed Yeh Ling's noise, so he had to say it again. He took a deep breath and was about to say it again when Loong Lin covered his mouth.

"Are you stupid? If you don't have anything to do, why are you joining in the liveliness? "

Yeh Ling instantly removed Loong Lin's hand and replied, "I'm afraid Lilrose will use this opportunity to assassinate my lord, if not, I must go!"

Yeh Ling immediately grabbed Loong Lin's right arm to make him stop in pain. "It hurts!" Yeh Ling looked at his blue eyes in puzzlement, "Why did you stop me?" Aren't you worried? "

Loong Lin said with a straight face, "If I die because of this, I won't be sad."

"Hey?" "Why?" Yeh Ling was confused, "And what's that like?"

Being asked this question, Loong Lin rarely saw it coming and blushed, saying to Yeh Ling, "Anyway, isn't it too early?" Don't bother about him! "

Luh Ya smiled wryly, "The core still has a chance in the future. However, the price that Miss Lilrose offered is also very rare. After all, her wealth is above the Lord's."

"Is that so?" Hearing these words, Yeh Ling's heart was filled with doubt. What kind of background did Lilrose have? Few people praised the Hat Guilds, but from Lord Galen's reaction, it seemed that they had a certain position among the different lords. Since Loong Lin had already said not to bother with him, even if he didn't understand, it should at least be enough.

stria striata

Not long after Lord Galen left, he saw Xia Nong already drunk and a group of soldiers fooling around with him. It was rare for Luh Ya to appear by the campfire to assemble any props.

"I see that you rarely leave the small house. What are you doing?" Yeh Ling asked intentionally.

Luh Ya looked at Yeh Ling in confusion and replied, "Don't call me out for exercise. You know I don't want to."

"We should have gone out to exercise anyway. Isn't it boring staying in the same place?" Loong Lin continued in a serious tone.

So that's what they were talking about just now. No wonder Luh Ya looked so bad. Yeh Ling helped Luh Ya explain at the right time, "During the research, it's hard to avoid forgetting to eat and sleep, but it's also necessary to rest at the right time."

He said as he took away the prop in Luh Ya's hand, "Let me keep this first."

"Ah!" How can this be? " Luh Ya looked helplessly at the uncompromising Yeh Ling, "Alright, I'll go back and sleep.

Seeing Luh Ya turn around and return to his room, Yeh Ling turned to Loong Lin and asked, "Why were you angry in the evening?"

Being asked like that obviously made Dragon Square very troubled, his face became red again and he looked away, "I …" "I'm not angry. Congratulations, in the future you will have fewer restrictions on where you can go."

"Then why did you look away?"

"..." The way he said it, he actually had a thought about Yeh Ling that even he himself felt confused about. He couldn't wake up any longer … "I already said it's okay!"

Although she said that she was fine, her actions were always weird. This awkward atmosphere didn't help for how long Chiska walked over with a piece of paper in her hand. "Hey!" Someone said they wanted to give this to you. "

Loong Lin took the scroll and opened it to look at it with a serious face. Liu Tie also looked at it and said, "It's Cather?"

"This brat actually disregarded the order to stay behind and came here, he even wants to find me?" Loong Lin put away the scroll and said, "He actually came to find me."

"I want to go as well. I don't know what other tricks he has up his sleeve. Can I follow him this time?" Yeh Ling pulled Loong Lin's hand and said.

"Let's go."

He followed the direction on the paper and walked towards Yeh Ling. Just as he was about to follow Chiska, he suddenly said, "The person who gave the paper to me, he had a weird expression on his face that you should take note of."

Yeh Ling turned around and looked at Chiska, "It's okay, she's just a defeated opponent. If you're not angry, then I'm sorry I was too impulsive that day. I didn't mean to belittle you."

Chiska shook her head, "Hurry up and go! I'm worried that he will harm Loong Lin. "

He nodded and followed Loong Lin.

Yeh Ling followed Loong Lin into the woods not far away. Cather and his lackeys appeared there. When they saw Loong Lin, they seemed to be a bit worried.

Cather opened his mouth first, "I didn't expect that your relationship is not bad. I only called Loong Lin over, you really like to join in the fun."

"I asked him to come here. What are you doing here?" Aren't you supposed to stay? "

Hearing this, Cather's expression became twisted with indignation, "Lord Galen told me to stay behind just so that this bastard beside you can become Hites?"

"This is Father's decision, you don't need to ask. You probably haven't seen his performance on the battlefield before, so you came to this conclusion." After Loong Lin said this, he saw Cather's face filled with disbelief.

"So? As long as he had a good performance, he could become Hites? How many warriors have become Hites in the past five hundred years? The decision itself was absurd! Even if Lord Galen, Lord Xia Nong and the others do not care, I will definitely not let any foreign species use this name! "

Loong Lin shook his head and said, "You don't agree? Then what are you going to do? To Father? "

"Young Master Loong Lin, it's fine if they're the others, but why do you think it doesn't matter?" At this time, Cather's subordinate spoke up.

Hearing this, Loong Lin was stunned. Cather immediately helped him, "Bastards will protect bastards, this is the so-called nest of snake rats, don't you understand?"

"Cather!" What you said was too much! Who are you calling a bastard? " Yeh Ling could not help but reply at the side.

"Young Master Cather!" Don't cry me wrong! "Since ancient times, there have been different classes. Loong Lin only committed suicide because his father wasn't Lord Galen and his mother didn't explain. Isn't this the truth?"

"You!" Yeh Ling just wanted to go up and teach Cather a lesson, but Loong Lin stopped him.

"We've already quarrelled about this before, and you were even punished for it. Cather, are you stupid? Or did you forget all about it? " Loong Lin replied calmly. Although his tone was calm, it was obvious that his face was covered in haze.

"Humph!" I am only stating the facts, yet I am being repaired and punished. This matter is all because of you! You still dare to bring it up here, I insist that Loong Lin Hites should change his name to Loong Lin Luo Min En! "

It was the only sound that left in his mind that was going to break. Just as he was about to lose control of himself, Liu Tie rushed over faster than him, and only then did Loong Lin catch a glimpse of him rushing straight towards Cather. He only realized that this was a trap when he saw the cunning look on Cather's face!

"Yeh Ling!" He also caught up and grabbed Yeh Ling's collar in an attempt to pull him back, but it was too late. The ground that was relatively stable a second ago suddenly fell down. Yeh Ling didn't expect that he would miss and so they both fell into the pit.

"It hurts..." Yeh Ling opened his eyes and looked at the nearby space where they fell quite deep. He raised his head and looked at the starry sky that was the size of a well.

"Woo …" Loong Lin moaned painfully on the side.

"Loong Lin, are you alright?" When Yeh Ling walked over to him, he discovered that when he fell down, he accidentally twisted his leg until it became red and swollen. Now, he could only squat on the ground.

Wu steel looked at his injury and his expression became serious. He raised his head and stared at the figure at the top of the cave entrance. Cather was looking down from above.

"Who told you to rush so fast, I didn't expect there to be a hole here!" "There's no other way. As long as you beg for forgiveness, I can consider giving you guys a rope to pull you up."

Faced with Cather's provocative words, Yeh Ling could not accept it and replied, "No need to beg for mercy, we will find an exit in this cave!"

"You haughty fellow! Is it that hard to beg for mercy from someone of my noble blood? It's obviously just Runaway Warrior , what's so good about flattering this bastard beside you? " Seeing that Yeh Ling couldn't climb up, he shouted crazily.

Let me tell you, you guys are unable to find a way out of this cave, I asked the residents here, as long as they fall down and don't crawl out of the cave hole, they will die, there are Synthetic Beast s and a lot of water in them, this is your last chance, quickly say, 'Master Cather, I know my wrongs, I will listen to your orders from now on'.

"Fuck you!" Yeh Ling did not believe that Cather would go back on his word, which only made Cather angrier.

"Yeh Ling... "Calm down …" Loong Lin couldn't help but mumble beside him.

"Whatever you want, I don't care about you. You just stay here till you die!" Cather was so angry that he turned around and left the cave.

"This is different from what I said before. If Young Master Loong Lin were to disappear, Lord Galen will definitely investigate this matter for no reason!" "At that time …"

Cather turned his head and threw a punch towards the person who answered. He immediately fell to the ground and painfully covered his face, it was obvious that his nose was broken. Cather replied indifferently, "Lord Galen is still warm now, he doesn't care about them, we don't care about him this way. I don't believe that his attitude won't soften up in the morning, if you continue talking randomly, you will end up like him." He pointed to the man whose nose had been broken.

The others had no choice but to keep quiet. It was because they were afraid of this kind of authoritative action, that they followed Cather's orders.

After confirming that there was no sound from the hole, Yeh Ling squatted down again and looked at Loong Lin. "Does it hurt?" Do you want to rest first? "

Loong Lin's injured foot could no longer support his weight. He fell backwards onto the ground, "Wu …" "Damn it! Such a small injury, how can you lose your composure like that?" He was really useless, but …

He looked at Yeh Ling, who was supporting him, in a blaming manner, "Weren't you impulsive just now!?" If you hadn't rushed at him head-on, we wouldn't have fallen here! "

"But he clearly called you a bastard, I really can't stand it …" Yeh Ling also knew that he was too impulsive, so he curled his shoulders and looked guiltily at Loong Lin.

Maybe he was worried about Yeh Ling, Loong Lin didn't even let down his guard as he continued, "It's not the first time he's taking it that way. Didn't I tell you to endure the provocation?" He would fall into his trap if he wasn't patient! And it was such a simple trap! "You!" At this moment, Loong Lin realized Yeh Ling was looking at the ground with sorrow and guilt, so he stopped. Now that he was angry, it was useless for him to be angry. He could only blame Yeh Ling for wasting his time.

Hearing Loong Lin stop, Yeh Ling slowly opened his mouth and said, "I'm sorry, I only have this bad temper. I'm very sorry, I'm really very sorry …"

"Pfft!" Loong Lin laughed. This made Yeh Ling stunned for a moment as he looked worriedly at Loong Lin.

"Loong Lin?"

"I'm fine... "When I think about how you were so stubborn about Cather and yet didn't beg for forgiveness, but now that no one has lowered their head and admitted their wrongs right away, I want to laugh."

Seeing Loong Lin's sudden change in attitude, Yeh Ling looked at him uncomfortably, "We will definitely be able to leave. I'll go find an exit. I'm sorry for dragging you into this."

"I've always wanted a friend who could live and die together. How could I blame you? Let's find a way out together. " The reason he was so impulsive was that he was angry at himself. He should not blame him for this and should feel gratified.

As if encouraged, Yeh Ling stretched out his hand to let Loong Lin help him up, "Let me help you to rest against the wall first, I'll see if there's any way out around here."

He found a wall to place Loong Lin there and actively searched for a way out. However, after looking around, he realized that there were no forks in the wall other than the wet wall. They were like abandoned children thrown into a well, but what made Yeh Ling puzzled was that since it was a hole like a dry well, why was the wall so wet?

Moreover, the walls of this cave seemed to be a man-made not just a natural cave, but while he was still puzzled, the surrounding walls began to exude water. Moreover, the amount of water flowing through the walls was not small.

"Yeh Ling!" "What's going on?" Loong Lin was so scared that he walked to the middle while holding his sword like a walking stick.

"I don't know what's going on here either!" But he had an ominous premonition.

The water came in very quickly and reached his calves. Loong Lin lost his usual calmness as he stared at the water with a pale face. "Water …" I'll drown... "

"No, as long as you can swim you can go out." This was probably something that Cather had never thought of, so this cave might actually be the reservoir at the old location.

"You mean swimming?" Loong Lin looked terrified, "Can we, who have been operating on the prairie, swim?"

"Never tried..." Yeh Ling wasn't sure either.

"It's over! We will die and drown here! " Loong Lin screamed in panic because the water had reached his waist.

Yeh Ling looked up at the hole and shouted, "Hey!" Bastard! Are you there? Do you know that there's water here? "

"He was angered by you just now. He's definitely not here! We are finished! " Loong Lin relied on himself to show his half-give up.

"Damn it! I can't die here! I can't! " He still had a lot of things to do, so he couldn't die. The one who deserved to die was that bastard Cather. He swore that if he could get out of here, he would definitely not let Cather go!

Thinking about how Yeh Ling kept thrusting the iron sword towards the stone wall in an attempt to make a final struggle, the iron sword was actually unable to withstand the cracking sound of the stone wall, and the broken parts of the sword bounced off his face, Yeh Ling just threw the iron sword to the side, and kept hitting the stone wall with his hand. He didn't want to give up even with the last struggle, but at this moment, the stone wall suddenly became translucent and he fell back in.

"It hurts!" "Huh?" Yeh Ling actually ran to another space when he got up. Although he was surprised, he immediately rushed back. He returned to the narrow entrance filled with water, and now the water was already on his shoulders.

Loong Lin seemed to choke on a few mouthfuls of water as he kept coughing.

The current him could save Loong Lin!

There was only one thought on his mind, Yeh Ling stretched out his hand and pulled Loong Lin over, "Let's go here!"

"Where else can I go? "Ahem!" Loong Lin couldn't understand his actions at all. All he knew was that Yeh Ling extended his hand towards the stone wall, and the stone wall suddenly changed color. Yeh Ling then passed through the stone wall as if there was no obstruction at all.

Perhaps he was too afraid of the water that caused his delusion, or maybe he and Yeh Ling had already died.

He never thought that he would run into water again. Perhaps his life really would end here. His father would definitely be very disappointed. However, he … Would he really be disappointed?

Perhaps there was no one of unknown bloodline like him, instead he easily existed in this country that valued bloodlines so much … Perhaps his existence was just a problem.

Give up … No matter how hard he tried, no one noticed or praised him. Since he was six years old, he had always wanted to use his superb martial arts to win the lottery, but no matter how hard he tried, he would only hear about how mixed his bloodline was. If his mother did not follow the path of a woman, how could a woman who had been kidnapped follow the path of a woman?

However, retorting would only lead to him receiving more humiliation. If he was tired, he might as well give up here anyway …

"Hey!" Loong Lin! Could he be choking on water? Hey! Wake up! "

Yeh Ling patted his face and checked his breathing. It seemed that his breathing was normal. Seeing that he didn't seem to wake up at all, Yeh Ling could only use his final ace in the hole …

In the dim light, Loong Lin heard Yeh Ling's voice. He could only slightly open his eyes and saw Yeh Ling, but his appearance was actually exactly the same as the first time he saw him. Although he knew he was forced to dress like that, it was very fitting.

"How long are you going to sleep?"

"Huh?"

Seeing his shocked reaction, he impatiently said, "We won't allow any customers to fall drunk here. If you don't wake up, I'll get someone to carry you out!"

"Yeh Ling? What are you talking about? With the tone of you being a wine drinker? " He seemed a little confused.

Yeh Ling replied with a look of "What the hell are you talking about? Do you want me to go on stage with you?"

"Huh?" Loong Lin seemed to be confused. He remembered that Yeh Ling was a male student, and because of that, he became a mercenary. Was this a dream?

However, ever since he met him, everything seemed like a dream to him. As long as he was lonely and depressed, the word 'disappointed' would never appear in his mind again. He was filled with youthful confidence, as if nothing could trouble him, as if he could not help but fill up his loneliness, wanting to be together with him no matter if he was a man or a woman. It was because he wanted to challenge everyone's personality.

After he confirmed what he was thinking, Yeh Ling also unconsciously stood in front of him. "If you want to take me on stage, you have to explain yourself!" "That way I can earn a little bit more."

"If this is beneficial to you, I want to bring you on stage!" Loong Lin subconsciously said.

Unexpectedly, Yeh Ling laughed, reached out his hand to pinch his nose and said, "Then why don't you wake up quickly, Loong Lin —"

Suddenly, he felt like he couldn't breathe and painfully opened his eyes. Yeh Ling was also in front of him this time, but he was pinching his nose and immediately let go when he woke up, "Are you okay? "Great, I thought you would die!"

Loong Lin turned his head and breathed heavily, "Hu hu …" I thought you were going to kill me! "

He withdrew his hand guiltily, "I … I just wanted to wake you up... "

He turned around and looked directly at Yeh Ling. He was wearing a light armor which should have been worn on his chest, but he took it off and strengthened his arms and legs instead. It was precisely because he was aware of his weakness in carrying weight that made him even more sure that it was just a dream.

Yeh Ling looked at him in confusion. Did his head get soaked just now? Yet he did not know that his strange behavior came from himself.

It took him a moment to realize that they were in a completely different space, and the first stab of pain in his foot reminded him of the thrill. He turned to ask, "Are we saved?"

Yeh Ling shook his head, "It was here when I woke up. I don't know where this place is either."

He seemed to have forgotten what had just happened, and he was too lazy to explain.

He looked around like a stone room. Yeh Ling stood up and looked at the staircase in the middle of the stone room. Walking up to the highest platform, there was a sarcophagus. When he walked closer, he saw that there was nothing inside the sarcophagus.

He could barely translate one sentence. The other words were very similar to the incantation. That sentence was …

'The state of Eternal Rest and here.'

Yeh Ling went around the empty sarcophagus and found the dried up bones beside the sarcophagus. He determined that it was male, his chest was stabbed with a knife and the blade was full of incantations, probably trying to seal something that failed.

'Can't stay here for long 'was his intuition. Yeh Ling quickly walked down the stairs and arrived beside Loong Lin. Seeing that Loong Lin needed more than an hour to take care of his twisted wound, he was still worried. Could they wait for an hour?

Loong Lin soon noticed that Yeh Ling's face was a little odd. "What did you see?"

"Bones …." "However, there are still some tunnels ahead of us. You stay here first, I'll go ahead and scout ahead." The stone walls here were all slightly lit, so it was not impossible for one to not see the road.

Seeing that Yeh Ling was going to explore this unknown area, Loong Lin looked at his foot injury angrily. "Damn it …" If he hadn't sprained his wound, he would never have let Yeh Ling do something dangerous.

"I'll be right back."

Just as Yeh Ling was about to get up, Loong Lin grabbed his arm. He turned around and saw Yeh Ling handing him the sword. "Take it."

A mercenary valued his sword as if it was his life. Yeh Ling took it back and remembered that his iron sword was broken by him in a moment of desperation. If it wasn't for Cather and the others, they wouldn't have been able to do this.

He definitely wanted that damn fatty to have a good look.

"I'll be back soon!" Yeh Ling walked towards another passage with his sword in hand.
