Within the private reading room of

Within the private reading room of Bernard, leader of the Debs clan.

“What? You failed?” Bernard stared at the woman in the red robes. “Even if you failed, why can’t you continue making further attempts? Since when did the Bloodrose organization give up so easily?”

Bernard was extremely dissatisfied.

When he went to ask for the help of the Saber organization, he was refused. He successfully enlisted the services of Bloodrose, but Bloodrose was only willing to agree to destroy the sculpture, ‘Awakening From the Dream’. As for killing Linley, the price they demanded was far too high, as high as the price for an assassination of a Cardinal! Such an astronomical price, the Debs clan was unable to pay.

Per the words of Bloodrose, assassinating Linley would cause them to simultaneously offend both the Radiant Church as well as the Dawson Conglomerate.

What’s more…

Nowadays, Linley was a master sculptor. A master sculptor held an exalted societal status, and many people with rank and power esteemed master sculptors. Killing Linley meant killing a master sculptor, which would generate a degree of hatred towards Bloodrose amongst those sculpture aficionados.

This was why the cost they demanded to assassinate Linley was actually on par with the cost to assassinate a Cardinal.

“We are no longer willing to accept this assignment. We are willing to return the compensation you gave us.” The red robed woman said, her face cold.

“Can you tell me the reason why?” Bernard had no idea what was going on.

The destruction of a sculpture shouldn’t be too difficult. How could they give up after failing just a single time?

“If we tell you the reason, then we will no longer return the fees you provided to us. Do you agree?” The red robed woman said calmly.

An assassination organization was also a type of information broker. They were willing to sell information as well.

“Done.” As the leader of the Debs clan, Bernard could be magnanimous.

That red robed woman said softly, “I can tell you this. Amongst the admirers of that sculpture, ‘Awakening From the Dream’, there is a person whom our organization definitely does not wish to offend. And this person is not someone whom your Debs clan is able to offend either.”

“Alright. My report is complete.” With a smile, the red robed woman immediately departed.

Bernard was incredibly angry.

This red robed woman wasn’t even willing to disclose the identity of this person Bloodrose didn’t wish to offend. But Bernard understood one thing: Someone capable of causing trepidation for Bloodrose was definitely an incredible person. A report on such a person would definitely also be incredibly expensive.

……

Year 9999 of the Yulan calendar, April 21st. Within the dedicated auction hall at the Proulx Gallery.

This auction hall was split into three levels. The first level had ordinary seats, while the second level had stand-alone booths which only major nobles and extremely wealthy people were qualified to enter. The price to enter those booths was terrifyingly high. As for the third level, it was just a single, extremely large hall, also decorated very lavishly.

At this moment, the hundreds of seats in the first level were beginning to get filled up, despite the fact that the price of each seat here was a hundred gold coins. As for the ten or so private booths on the second level, based on the locations of the seats, the prices varied from a thousand to ten thousand gold coins.

But the third level? That wasn’t opened to the public at all.

The fame of this sculpture, ‘Awakening From the Dream’, was extremely resounding now. Many of the people currently in the auction hall were some of the wealthiest, most powerful noble families in the Yulan continent. But precisely because there were only so few seats while there were so many nobles present, these standard seats, which supposedly cost a hundred gold coins each, were being sold by scalpers outside for a ridiculous sum of money.

The Debs clan, as a local clan, had a special relationship with the Proulx Gallery, and were able to acquire seats in the private booth with the poorest positioning.

In truth, aside from the Debs clan, all of the others who were present in the second level booths belonged to extremely famous and wealthy clans throughout the Yulan continent. They were far more powerful than the Debs clan, for example…the Dawson clan of the Dawson Conglomerate. Even they were only on the second level. But of course, the representatives of the Dawson clan here were not members in the direct line of descent and succession.

“Alice, walk on the inside.”

This time, six people had come from the Debs clan. Alice was walking between Kalan and Kalan’s mother, and was even wearing a hat that was pressed down on her head. Very quickly, the six of them reached the second level.

Within this second level were the greatest clans of the Yulan continent.

Upon seeing who was in the second level hallway, Bernard, leader of the Debs clan, immediately began to modestly greet everyone present. Here, the Debs clan meant absolutely nothing. It was like the evaluation Yale had once given them in private; they were a ‘minor clan’.

Right. In the eyes of these clans whose influence spanned the entire Yulan continent, if a clan’s area of influence was limited to a single kingdom, then that clan was nothing more than a minor clan.

The six people from the Debs clan entered their booth.

“There will come a day when my Debs clan will be like those clans. No; we will be even stronger.” Kalan said to himself.

For the Debs clan, during this trip, failure was not an option.

No matter what, it was better to have this sculpture located within their own manor, rather than the manor of an outsider. After all, in June, Kalan would be having his engagement ceremony with Alice, and by then, many people would know that Alice was becoming a member of the Debs clan. But even though ‘failure was not an option’, in reality, their financial ability to succeed was a major issue as well.

“Big Brother Kalan.” Alice took a seat next to Kalan.

In a place like this, surrounded by hugely powerful clans, Alice, too, felt rather constrained and pressured. After all, in this place, even the Debs clan counted for little, much less a minor noble like Alice and her clan.

“Don’t worry. Inside this booth, the people below won’t be able to see you at all. That Linley really has gone too far. He actually…” Whenever Kalan thought of that sculpture, ‘Awakening From the Dream’, he would burst with rage. Anyone with some understanding of sculpture would be able to guess that Linley and Alice had a romantic history together.

After all, if they hadn’t shared a period of true love, how could Linley have produced such a godly work of art?

If Kalan were to really marry Alice, there would most likely be many people who would secretly speculate about what the relationship between Alice and Linley was like. For someone of Kalan’s social status, how could he bear such embarrassment?

……

The third level of the auction hall.

Inside, there were only four people. The Proulx Gallery’s Managing Director Maia, Austoni, Linley, and Yale.

“Haha, Director Maia, which one is Linley?” A loud, exuberant laugh boomed out.

Leaning on his cane, Director Maia went over to welcome the man, while Linley and Yale both immediately went to welcome him as well. “Your Majesty!”

The person who had come was the king of the Kingdom of Fenlai. He was the pride of the kingdom; the Golden Lion, King Clayde. Being both the king of Fenlai as well as mighty warrior of the ninth rank was indeed something worthy of admiration.

Linley carefully inspected this Clayde.

This king was built extremely muscularly, and his head of long, golden hair billowed about him wildly, giving off the aura of a lion with enormous explosive power. His entire person naturally radiated a domineering aura that made hearts quail in fear.

Clayde looked at Linley. “If my guess is correct, this one must be Master Linley.”

“Your Majesty, please, just call me Linley.” Linley immediately said.

As a matter of fact, Linley felt quite helpless. Ever since the sculpture ‘Awakening From the Dream’ had been put on display, many people, upon seeing Linley, would humbly address him as ‘Master Linley’. This was not feigned courtesy. Even Marquis Jebs of the Lucas clan, who really was not willing to part with the warblade ‘Slaughterer’, was still filled with the utmost admiration for Linley.

“Good enough.” Clayde was extremely blunt. “And this must be Yale, right? Yale, how’s your father doing?”

“My father is doing very well. Unfortunately, he isn’t currently within the Holy Union, as if he was, he definitely would’ve come in person.” Yale said modestly.

Clayde nodded slightly.

“Director Maia, who else has come today?” Clayde called out casually.

Director Maia smiled. “Let’s wait a while longer. I expect that Cardinal Lampson [Lan’pu’sen] and Cardinal Guillermo will be arriving as well.”

Generally speaking, the third level was only used for welcoming guests which the Proulx Gallery held in the highest regard.

The windows of the third level were made with a special type of glass. Those on the outside were unable to see inside, but those on the inside could clearly see the outside. This sort of glass was specially designed and produced by alchemists, and was extremely expensive. Most places weren’t able to afford such materials.

“Lords Guillermo and Lampson have arrived.” Director Maia’s position allowed him to see the outside hallway.

Linley, Yale, and even King Clayde all went to welcome these two men with great warmth and enthusiasm. In a group, they went to greet these two Cardinals of the Radiant Church. Cardinal Guillermo and Linley had met once before, while Cardinal Lampson was rather pudgy. When he laughed, his eyes turned into a thin slit. He seemed ver

Dalam ruang baca pribadi Bernard, pemimpin klan Debs. "Apa? Anda gagal? "Bernard menatap wanita di jubah merah. "Bahkan jika Anda gagal, mengapa tidak bisa Anda terus membuat upaya lebih lanjut? Sejak kapan organisasi Bloodrose menyerah begitu saja? "Bernard sangat puas. Ketika ia pergi untuk meminta bantuan organisasi Saber, ia menolak. Dia berhasil meminta layanan dari Bloodrose, tapi Bloodrose hanya bersedia untuk menyetujui untuk menghancurkan patung, 'Kebangkitan Dari Mimpi'. Adapun membunuh Linley, harga mereka menuntut terlalu tinggi, setinggi harga untuk pembunuhan seorang Kardinal! Harga astronomi seperti, klan Debs tidak mampu membayar. Per kata-kata Bloodrose, membunuh Linley akan menyebabkan mereka untuk secara bersamaan menyinggung kedua Gereja Radiant serta Konglomerat Dawson. Terlebih lagi ... Saat ini, Linley adalah pematung utama. Sebuah pematung utama diadakan status sosial ditinggikan, dan banyak orang dengan pangkat dan kekuasaan terhormat tuan pematung. Membunuh Linley berarti membunuh seorang pematung master, yang akan menghasilkan tingkat kebencian terhadap Bloodrose antara mereka pecinta seni patung. Ini adalah mengapa biaya mereka menuntut untuk membunuh Linley sebenarnya setara dengan biaya untuk membunuh seorang Kardinal. "Kami tidak lagi bersedia untuk menerima tugas ini. Kami bersedia untuk mengembalikan kompensasi Anda memberi kami. "Kata wanita berjubah merah itu, wajahnya dingin." Bisakah Anda ceritakan alasan mengapa? "Bernard tidak tahu apa yang sedang terjadi. Penghancuran patung seharusnya tidak terlalu sulit. Bagaimana mereka bisa menyerah setelah gagal hanya satu waktu? "Jika kami memberitahu Anda alasan, maka kita tidak akan lagi kembali biaya yang Anda berikan kepada kami. Apakah Anda setuju? "Wanita berjubah merah berkata dengan tenang. Sebuah organisasi pembunuhan juga jenis broker informasi. Mereka bersedia untuk menjual informasi juga. "Selesai." Sebagai pemimpin klan Debs, Bernard bisa murah hati. Wanita berjubah merah berkata lembut, "saya dapat memberitahu Anda ini. Di antara pengagum patung itu, "Kebangkitan Dari Mimpi ', ada orang yang organisasi kami pasti tidak ingin menyinggung perasaan. Dan orang ini tidak seseorang yang clan Debs Anda dapat menyinggung perasaan baik. "" Baiklah. Laporan saya selesai. "Sambil tersenyum, wanita berjubah merah segera berangkat. Bernard itu sangat marah. Ini wanita berjubah merah itu bahkan tidak bersedia mengungkapkan identitas dari orang ini Bloodrose tidak ingin menyinggung perasaan. Tapi Bernard memahami satu hal: Seseorang mampu menyebabkan keraguan untuk Bloodrose pasti orang yang luar biasa. Sebuah laporan pada orang tersebut pasti akan juga menjadi sangat mahal. ...... Tahun 9999 dari kalender Yulan, 21 April. Dalam balai lelang khusus di Galeri Proulx. Balai lelang ini dibagi menjadi tiga tingkatan. Tingkat pertama memiliki kursi biasa, sedangkan tingkat kedua memiliki bilik berdiri sendiri yang hanya bangsawan besar dan orang-orang yang sangat kaya yang memenuhi syarat untuk masuk. Harga memasukkan mereka bilik itu menakutkan tinggi. Adapun tingkat ketiga, itu hanya satu, ruang sangat besar, juga dihiasi sangat boros. Pada saat ini, ratusan kursi di tingkat pertama mulai mendapatkan mengisi, meskipun fakta bahwa harga setiap kursi di sini adalah seratus koin emas. Adapun sepuluh atau lebih bilik pribadi pada tingkat kedua, berdasarkan lokasi dari kursi, harga bervariasi dari seribu sampai sepuluh ribu koin emas. Tapi tingkat ketiga? Yang tidak dibuka untuk umum sama sekali. Ketenaran patung ini, 'Kebangkitan Dari Mimpi', sangat gemilang sekarang. Banyak orang saat ini di balai lelang adalah beberapa terkaya, keluarga bangsawan paling kuat di benua Yulan. Tapi justru karena hanya ada begitu sedikit kursi sementara ada begitu banyak bangsawan ini, ini kursi standar, yang konon biaya koin emas seratus masing-masing, sedang dijual oleh calo luar untuk jumlah konyol uang. The Debs klan, sebagai lokal klan, memiliki hubungan khusus dengan Galeri Proulx, dan mampu untuk memperoleh kursi di bilik pribadi dengan posisi termiskin. Sebenarnya, selain dari klan Debs, semua yang lain yang hadir di stand-stand tingkat kedua milik sangat klan terkenal dan kaya di seluruh benua Yulan. Mereka jauh lebih kuat daripada klan Debs, misalnya ... klan Dawson dari Konglomerat Dawson. Bahkan mereka hanya pada tingkat kedua. Tapi tentu saja, perwakilan dari klan Dawson sini bukan anggota dalam garis langsung keturunan dan suksesi. "Alice, berjalan di dalam." Kali ini, enam orang telah datang dari klan Debs. Alice sedang berjalan antara Kalan dan ibu Kalan ini, dan bahkan memakai topi yang ditekan di atas kepalanya. Sangat cepat, enam dari mereka mencapai tingkat kedua. Dalam tingkat kedua ini adalah klan terbesar dari benua Yulan. Setelah melihat yang berada di tingkat lorong kedua, Bernard, pemimpin klan Debs, segera mulai merendah menyapa semua yang hadir . Di sini, klan Debs berarti apa-apa. Rasanya seperti evaluasi Yale pernah memberi mereka secara pribadi; mereka adalah 'klan kecil'. Benar. Di mata klan ini yang pengaruhnya membentang seluruh Yulan benua, jika daerah yang klan pengaruh terbatas pada sebuah kerajaan tunggal, maka klan itu tidak lebih dari sebuah klan kecil. Keenam orang dari klan Debs memasuki stan mereka. " akan datang suatu hari ketika klan Debs saya akan menjadi seperti orang-orang klan. Tidak; kita akan lebih kuat. "Kalan berkata kepada dirinya sendiri. Untuk klan Debs, selama perjalanan ini, kegagalan bukanlah pilihan. Tidak peduli apa, itu lebih baik untuk memiliki patung ini terletak di dalam manor mereka sendiri, daripada manor dari orang luar. Setelah semua, pada bulan Juni, Kalan akan memiliki upacara pertunangan dengan Alice, dan pada saat itu, banyak orang akan tahu bahwa Alice telah menjadi anggota dari klan Debs. Tapi meskipun kegagalan bukanlah pilihan ', dalam kenyataannya, kemampuan keuangan mereka untuk berhasil adalah masalah besar juga. "Big Brother Kalan." Alice mengambil tempat duduk di sebelah Kalan. Di tempat seperti ini, dikelilingi oleh sangat kuat klan, Alice, juga, merasa agak dibatasi dan ditekan. Setelah semua, di tempat ini, bahkan klan Debs dihitung sedikit, apalagi yang mulia kecil seperti Alice dan klan-nya. "Jangan khawatir. Di dalam bilik ini, orang-orang di bawah ini tidak akan dapat melihat Anda sama sekali. Yang Linley benar telah pergi terlalu jauh. Dia benar-benar ... "Setiap kali Kalan memikirkan itu patung, 'Kebangkitan Dari Mimpi', ia akan meledak karena marah. Siapapun dengan beberapa pemahaman tentang patung akan mampu menebak bahwa Linley dan Alice memiliki sejarah romantis bersama-sama. Setelah semua, jika mereka tidak berbagi periode cinta sejati, bagaimana bisa Linley telah menghasilkan suatu karya seni yang saleh? Jika Kalan yang benar-benar menikah Alice, ada kemungkinan besar akan banyak orang yang diam-diam akan berspekulasi tentang apa hubungan antara Alice dan Linley seperti. Untuk seseorang dari status sosial Kalan ini, bagaimana ia bisa menanggung malu seperti itu? ...... Tingkat ketiga dari balai lelang. Di dalam, hanya ada empat orang. The Proulx Gallery Managing Director Maia, Austoni, Linley, dan Yale. "Haha, Direktur Maia, mana yang Linley?" A keras, tertawa riang menggelegar. Bersandar pada tongkatnya, Direktur Maia pergi untuk menyambut pria itu, sementara Linley dan Yale baik segera pergi ke menyambutnya juga. "Yang Mulia!" Orang yang datang adalah raja dari Kerajaan Fenlai. Dia adalah kebanggaan kerajaan; Golden Lion, Raja Clayde. Menjadi baik raja Fenlai serta pahlawan dari peringkat kesembilan memang sesuatu yang layak dikagumi. Linley hati-hati diperiksa Clayde ini. Raja ini dibangun sangat muscularly, dan kepalanya panjang, emas rambut mengepul tentang dia liar, memberikan off aura singa dengan daya ledak besar. Seluruh orang secara alami memancarkan aura dominan yang membuat hati puyuh dalam ketakutan. Clayde melihat Linley. "Jika dugaan saya benar, yang satu ini harus Guru Linley." "Yang Mulia, silakan, panggil aku Linley." Segera kata Linley. Sebagai soal fakta, Linley merasa cukup berdaya. Sejak patung 'Kebangkitan Dari Mimpi' telah dipamerkan, banyak orang, saat melihat Linley, akan rendah hati memanggilnya 'Guru Linley'. Ini tidak pura-pura sopan santun. Bahkan Marquis Jebs dari klan Lucas, yang benar-benar tidak bersedia untuk berpisah dengan warblade 'algojo', masih dipenuhi dengan kekaguman hati untuk Linley. "Cukup baik." Clayde sangat tumpul. "Dan ini harus Yale, kan? Yale, bagaimana ayahmu lakukan? "" Ayah saya melakukan dengan sangat baik. Sayangnya, ia tidak sedang dalam Uni Kudus, seolah-olah ia, ia pasti akan datang secara pribadi. "Yale kata merendah. Clayde mengangguk sedikit." Direktur Maia, yang lain telah datang hari ini? "Clayde memanggil santai . Direktur Maia tersenyum. "Kita tunggu beberapa saat lagi. Saya berharap bahwa Kardinal Lampson [Lan'pu'sen] dan Kardinal Guillermo akan tiba juga. "Secara umum, tingkat ketiga hanya digunakan untuk menyambut tamu yang digelar Galeri Proulx dalam kaitan tertinggi. Jendela dari tingkat ketiga dibuat dengan tipe khusus dari kaca. Mereka yang berada di luar tidak dapat melihat ke dalam, tapi orang-orang di dalam bisa melihat dengan jelas di luar. Ini semacam kaca yang dirancang khusus dan diproduksi oleh alkemis, dan sangat mahal. Sebagian besar tempat tidak mampu membayar bahan tersebut. "Lords Guillermo dan Lampson telah tiba." Posisi Direktur Maia memungkinkan dia untuk melihat di luar lorong. Linley, Yale, dan bahkan Raja Clayde semua pergi untuk menyambut kedua orang dengan kehangatan yang besar dan antusiasme. Dalam kelompok, mereka pergi untuk menyambut dua Cardinals Gereja Radiant. Kardinal Guillermo dan Linley telah bertemu sekali sebelumnya, sementara kardinal Lampson agak gemuk. Ketika dia tertawa, matanya berubah menjadi celah tipis. Dia tampak ver
