Book 6, The Road to Revenge – Chapter 1, The Dusty Affairs of the Past

Hillhtly by Linley’s claws that his clothes were torn open Scarlet blood slowly leaked out, staining his clothes red

But Hill at Linley, Hillman said in a downcast voice, “Linley, cal at Hill you is about to arrive For now, let’s not allow others to know about the affairs of your clan Come with me first” Hillrabbed Linley’s scaled ar him to the ancestral halls…only to find that he was unable to budge Linley

“Linley!” Hiller in his eyes

“Uncle Hillman, I kno to act”

Linley’s face was deeply sunken, but he took a deep breath, retracting the scales on his ar to norhterer’ to his case and held it, Linley could hear the sounds of hoof steps outside drawing near

The troops of Knights of the Radiant Te at them coldly, but paid them no mind He said directly to Hill that Linley was able to calm down, Hillman felt a little bit better He immediately led Linley into the ancestral hall’s direction Linley’s face remained sunken At this moment, aside from Linley himself, perhaps nobody knew that beneath that calm expression, there lay hidden an incredibly deep, painful wound

Neither the Shadow Cowart made a sound

They were connected to Linley’s soul Naturally, they could feel the uni

The wind rose, catching up and hurling into the air countless leaves which had been lying on the unirounds

“Creaaaak”

Hillman pushed open the door to the ancestral hall, then turned to look back at Linley Holding the warblade ‘Slaughterer’, Linley stepped inside, his face calaze was fixed upon those rows of spirit tablets placed in the middle of the ancestral hall With Linley’s current vision, he could clear read the words on the newest spirit tablet, located at the front

There were only tords on the front “Hogg Baruch”

Linley felt hisa hallucination But he still stood there, unhterer’, Linley stepped forward to the stone platforhterer’ on top of the platform

Linley looked at the spirit tablet, a peaceful s on his face In a soft voice, Linley said, “Father I’reatest desire was that we recover our ancestral heirlooonblood Warrior clan” Linley spoke very carefully, as though he were afraid to startle soentle, so careful

Linley stared at the spirit tablet “I didn’t disappoint you I have already brought back to the Baruch clan, to the Dragonblood Warrior clan, our ancestral heirlooht back the ‘Slaughterer’ And very soon, I will restore our Dragonblood Warrior clan to glory I will make sure the entire Yulan continent knows of the splendor of our Dragonblood Warrior clan, and will make sure everyone in the Yulan continent knows your name”

“All of this, I will accomplish I so swear”

Suddenly, a fiendish look appeared on Linley’s face “But of course, before I do all of these things I will avenge you”

There was no question at all in his mind His father, Baruch, had been killed by someone

Otherwise, based on his father’s prowess as a warrior of the sixth rank, as well as a man in the prime of his health, he couldn’t have died due to any ordinary illness And what’s more, if he had died of illness, Hillman wouldn’t have acted so secretively Linley’s intuition was telling him that his father’s death was no ordinary death!

“The person who caused you to die I will make sure he dies as well!”

Within Linley’s eyes, once old color of the eyes of the Arolden color

Linley fiercely turned to stare at Hillman “Uncle Hillman, tell me How did my father die, exactly? In addition, where was my father buried? Also, you said o? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Hillman opened his mouth, but did not speak

“Linley, first calm down,” Hillman finally said slowly

Calm down?

How could he calm down?

“I wish so much that my father could be here and personally see this warblade, ‘Slaughterer’, with his own eyes I long to tell onblood Warrior I deeply desire to see hter See the pride on his face when I assuonform! However…all of this is now ih his heart had been sliced by knives

And Hillrily rebuke Hill in a deep, unwilling breath, he sed his rage Staring at Hill which happened I want to know everything”

“Your father died three o But before he died, his instructions to me were that only after you had the power of a warrior of the seventh rank could I tell you Otherwise, I cannot tell you the circu his death” Hillman said solemnly

“A warrior of the seventh rank?”

“Yes” Hillhtly “This was the reason why I went to the Institute to look for you, but didn’t inform you of your father’s death or why he died Your father’s dying wishes were that I was not to allow you to know of his death, so that you could calmly focus on your studies”

Hill to tell you It’s that this was your father’s dying wish I cannot go against it Only if you are able to beco to tell you everything”

Linley understood
