Panlong, starting from becoming Lin Lei's golden finger

"Where is your teacher? Did they come back with you?"

Philip looked at Linley, trying to appear calm.

He discovered that the facts seemed to be somewhat different from what he had guessed.

Philip was convinced that Hogg had conspired with Viscount Locke to stage a charade in front of everyone because of the destruction of Blackhill.

Their aim was to swindle money by using the fabricated identity of a magician.

Therefore, Philip was certain that Hogg would never dare to let his son Linley return.

For the past few months, Philip has been constantly inciting the surrounding nobles to put pressure on Hogger.

However, at first everyone was intimidated by the title of magician. It wasn't until the last month that some nobles gradually realized what was going on and began to frequently travel to Wushan Town with Philip.

But now, why does Lin Lei dare to come back?

Philip, whose four other barons were already considering backing down, could not allow such a thing to happen.

Sure enough, after Philip spoke, the four barons also turned their gazes toward Linley.

Appropriate close-fitting clothes for activities, a mouse perched on her shoulder, and a backpack slung over her body.

There was nothing else besides that, and naturally, there was no so-called magician.

"Yes, Linley, we heard that you became an apprentice of the magician, so we came here to congratulate you."

"That's right, Lin Lei. It would be good if you could introduce us to your teacher."

"..."

With Philip speaking, the other four barons gained confidence and began to question him as well.

Looking at the five people's faces, Lin Lei's lips curled into a cold smile, and then he looked up at the sky.

Everyone was puzzled, so they all looked up.

In the sky, a tiny black dot rapidly approached, and in the blink of an eye, it had arrived overhead, its enormous shadow enveloping the entire courtyard.

An eagle with a blue wingspan of over ten meters and three golden feathers on its forehead swaying in the wind.

The Azure-Winged Golden-Feathered Eagle is a level nine magical beast with both wind and lightning elemental attributes.

"Xiao Jin, please go back and tell the teacher that I have arrived home safely."

"Cheers~"

Lin Lei spoke, and the blue-winged, golden-feathered eagle let out a long cry and flapped its wings.

A gust of wind swept through, and in the blink of an eye, it had disappeared into the air.

"Lin, Lin Lei, what was that just now?"

Hogg looked at Linley with a trembling voice.

"Little Gold is my teacher's magical beast," Linley said with a smile. "My teacher is preparing to break through to the Saint Realm, so he had to send me back by his magical beast."

"Sanctuary?"

Before Linley could finish speaking, Philip asked incredulously, "Linley, your teacher is a level nine mage?"

Philip trembled and turned pale as he spoke.

"Viscount Philip, and four other barons." Linley's expression turned cold as he looked at the five men. "I just got home. May I speak with my father alone?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Philip nodded quickly. "We've disturbed you. We'll be leaving now."

Philip was on the verge of tears and could only scramble away.

"Damn it, Philip, didn't you say Linley could never become an apprentice of a powerful magician?"

"That's right, Philip. What do we do now? Linley's teacher is about to break through and become a Saint-level powerhouse."

"Philip, we need to repair our relationship with the Baruch family."

"Philip, it's all your fault."

"..."

No sooner had they left Baruch’s residence than the four barons turned their attention to Philip.

However, Philip was powerless to refute this at this point.

What he is thinking about now is, having offended a disciple of a mage who is about to become a saint, what will become of his family?

Putting everything else aside, there will definitely be people who target their own families in order to curry favor with Lin Lei.

The Philip family is truly finished!

Meanwhile, at the Baruch residence.

"Hahaha~" Hillman burst into laughter after Philip and the others left. "Linley, thanks to you! Philip's been coming over all the time while you were away. We've finally gotten our revenge!"

Although Hogg didn't laugh out loud, a smile played on his lips, and his gaze toward Linley was filled with surprise.

"Linley, come in with me quickly." Hogg spoke, reaching out to pull Linley along. "Is your teacher really about to break through to the Saint Realm?"

"That's right, Father." Linley nodded. "My teacher has recently begun his quest to reach the Saint Realm."

Lin Lei's expression was calm; this was the line Lin Ke had instructed him to say after leaving the Monster Forest.

Linley is too young now, only eight years old, a level nine warrior and a level seven mage.

It's nothing in the entire Panlong Universe, but it's still too conspicuous on the Yulan Continent.

Therefore, before Lin Lei is fearless of danger, he still needs to put on a show.

As for the Azure-Winged Golden-Feathered Eagle, it was actually a magical beast that Lin Lei had fought and terrified before leaving the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Of course, Lin Lei did not sign a contract with the other party.

Only a small number of the Azure-Winged Golden-Feathered Eagle clan are able to break through to the Saint Realm.

Linley's standards have risen. Putting aside everything else, he'll only consider signing a contract if the person reaches the Saint Realm upon reaching adulthood.

As for Beibei, that's different.

Let's leave aside the initial system tasks.

Just based on the past six months of companionship alone, Lin Lei has come to regard Bei Bei as family.

"Your teacher is about to become a Saint, so Linley, are you still going to take the magic test?"

Hogg looked at Linley with some curiosity, and Linley simply nodded.

"My teacher said that I am too young, so I need to go to the academy to meet more people my age. Also, breaking through to the Saint Realm is not something that can be done in a short time, so I also need to find a place to learn magic."

Too young!

Hogg was somewhat dazed after hearing Linley's words.

Then look at Lin Lei in front of him.

Even though he's over 1.7 meters tall, he's only a head shorter than me.

If you didn't see his face, you might think Lin Lei was already an adult.

But in reality, Lin Lei was only eight years old, with a very young face.

I am not a good father!

Hogg felt a pang of sadness, but thinking of his deceased wife, he could only force himself to suppress his grief.

He raised the child to adulthood, and then went to avenge his wife.

This has become Hogg's obsession.

However, Lin Lei now has a magic teacher, and a level nine magic teacher at that.

Once Walton turns six and his bloodline is tested, I can finally take my revenge in peace.

"Father, I have a gift for you."

Linley, unaware of Hogg's change in mood, continued speaking.

Immediately, Linley swiped his left hand across the ring on his right ring finger, and ten magic cores appeared on the table.

"What is this? A spatial ring?"

Upon seeing this, Hogg exclaimed in surprise.

This is a spatial ring!

The Baruch family once had a spatial ring, but unfortunately, neither Hogg nor his father, nor his grandfather, ever saw one.

"That's right, Father, it is indeed a spatial ring."

Lin Lei nodded; he had redeemed this spatial ring from the system.

The price is not high, only 1000 green energy points are needed, and the internal space is 1000 cubic meters, which is enough for use.

"These are ten level-eight magical beast cores, worth over a million gold coins in total," Linley said, pushing the ten cores in front of Hogg. "This is a gift from my teacher to you, Father."

"A million, in gold coins?"

Hogg exclaimed in shock once again.

A crystal core will only be formed in the body when the monster reaches level three.

However, the price of low-level monster cores is not high.

Even for a level six magical beast, the crystal core is only worth about a thousand gold coins.

Only at level seven will the price of crystal cores skyrocket.

The core of a level 7 monster costs around 10,000 gold coins.

For level eight magical beasts, the cores are generally worth 100,000, while some rare magical beasts can have cores worth hundreds of thousands.

He immediately offered ten level-eight magical beast cores, and Hogg's hands trembled slightly as he received them.

But at the same time, Hogg's desire to avenge his wife grew stronger and stronger.
