Panlong, starting from becoming Lin Lei's golden finger

"Linley, would you be willing to join Ernst Magic Academy?"

The admissions officer from Ernst Magic Academy came to Linley and asked him questions.

All eyes were on Lin Lei.

Ernst Magic Academy.

The number one magic academy on the continent.

Although the Yulan Empire has a high priest, and the high priest has trained a large number of holy domain mages.

However, when it comes to magic academies alone, Ernst is undoubtedly the number one magic academy on the continent.

For a moment, everyone was waiting for Lin Lei's answer.

Lin Lei smiled slightly and said, "I am proud to be a member of Ernst Academy."

"I will report your information to the college." The admissions officer was also a little excited. "As long as you arrive at the college before February 9th next year, here is your admission certificate."

As he spoke, the other person took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Lin Lei.

"Thanks!"

Compared to the system and Grandpa Delin, getting into Ernst Academy was nothing special for Linley, so he remained calm throughout.

"Congratulations, Mr. Hogg."

"Mr. Hogg, congratulations!"

"Mr. Hogg..."

However, many nobles around Hogg began to step forward to congratulate him.

This time, not only Paterson, Carey, and others, but also some minor nobles came forward to congratulate them.

Since they had come forward to say nice things, Hogg responded with a smile.

"Gentlemen," the white-robed priest said, "the magic test is not over yet, please do not disrupt the order."

Hearing the words of the white-robed priest, Hogg broke free from the crowd.

"Mr. Hogg." Just as Hogg and Linley were about to leave, Paterson and Carrey caught up with them. "His Majesty the King wishes to host a banquet for you both at the palace tonight. We hope you will do us the honor."

For a duke of a kingdom to greet two country nobles like Hogg and Linley in such a manner is already considered a sign of respect and courtesy.

After all, the strength of Linley and Hogg was not revealed.

"Linley and I will be there on time." Hogg hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "But we need to go back and change our clothes, please excuse us."

"That's only right," Paterson nodded repeatedly. "See you tonight."

Immediately afterwards, Paterson and Caran said their goodbyes and left.

Linley simply waved to Alice outside the church, ignoring her eager and expectant gaze.

"Tsk, Linley, you've got some serious connections!" Yale leaned closer to Linley. "The Golden Lion threw a banquet just for you. Impressive."

Yale's expression was genuine.

After all, the Dawson Merchant Guild could ignore the king of a kingdom, but it couldn't ignore a level nine warrior.

King Clyde of the Kingdom of Fenlai, known as the Golden Lion, is not only a king but also a powerful level nine warrior.

Although the Kingdom of Finlay relies on the Dawson Merchant Guild for business, the Dawson Merchant Guild is very accommodating to the Kingdom of Finlay.

This is the role of the strong.

This is also why the Dawson Chamber of Commerce makes acquaintances with powerful individuals everywhere.

It's worth noting that Dawson's Chamber of Commerce generates at least tens of billions in profit annually.

However, more than half of these profits are supplied to the merchant guild and to powerful figures in the Holy Domain.

For powerful beings in the Saint Realm, money doesn't have much of an effect.

However, even powerful beings in the Holy Realm have families and descendants.

If the Dawson Merchant Guild ever fails to make offerings, then even the slightest mention from a descendant of a Saint-level expert could be a catastrophic disaster for the Dawson Merchant Guild.

"This isn't because of me," Lin Lei shook his head directly. "It's because of my teacher."

The change in his strength allowed Lin Lei to see more clearly the rules governing the operation of the entire world.

Linley has not revealed his strength yet, so he is certain that these people, especially the nobles of the Kingdom of Fenlai, value his status as a ninth-level mage disciple more.

Rather than valuing his status as a child prodigy.

After all, there are many talented young people, but few strong individuals.

The Yulan Continent is so vast that new geniuses emerge every year.

However, very few of them actually grow into strong individuals.

"What's the difference?" Yale shrugged. "You're the one who gets the benefits anyway."

Linley's expression was quite serious at first, but he couldn't help but laugh when he heard Yale's words.

"By the way, you don't have a dress for the banquet yet, do you?" Yale looked Linley up and down. "There's no time to make one now. I'll have someone send you a few when we get back to the hotel so you can try them on."

Lin Lei did not refuse.

First impressions are truly a magical thing.

From the moment Linley first saw Yale, he knew that he and Yale would definitely get along.

Alice is the same.

Originally, Lin Lei was fond of Alice, a girl who looked like a porcelain doll, when he suddenly saw her.

However, Linley was somewhat puzzled by the fanaticism in Alice's eyes when she mentioned the Holy See earlier.

That's why Linley only said hello to Alice before taking his leave.

Linley couldn't understand why Alice would be so fanatical about a fictional god.

Although he was only eight years old, Lin Lei's improved strength had already made him realize the difference.

For example, God is not actually high above.

Especially what Brother Lin Ke mentioned: lower-level gods, middle-level gods, and upper-level gods.

And the emperor among the high gods, the Great Perfection High God.

The so-called God of Light may not be comparable to a Great Perfection Supreme God.

With the help of Brother Lin Ke and Grandpa Delin, I will surely be able to become a Great Perfection Supreme God in the future.

So, to wholeheartedly believe in a god whose real name is unknown?

Lin Lei couldn't do it.

After returning to the hotel by carriage, Yale and Monroe tactfully took their leave, leaving Linley and Hogg alone.

Upon entering Linley's room, Hogg smiled and ruffled Linley's hair. "How does it feel to have successfully enrolled at Ernst School of Magic?"

"Nothing's different." Linley shook his head. "I won't stay at Ernst Academy for long, and I still have to go to the Monster Mountain Range to see my teacher before the start of the semester."

Hogg didn't find anything wrong with what Linley said.

But then Hogg's expression turned serious. "Linley, what I'm about to tell you, you absolutely must not tell anyone."

Seeing his father's serious expression, Linley's heart tightened. "Grandpa Delin, are there any Saint-level experts spying nearby?"

Lin Lei quickly contacted Delin, but fortunately, no one from the Sanctuary was so bored as to spy on a hotel.

After receiving Delin's affirmative answer, Linley then spoke up: "Father, don't worry, it's very safe here, no one is watching."

Hogg glanced at Linley with surprise. He meant that the two should talk somewhere else, but since Linley had said so, Hogg had the option to believe Linley.

"Linley, I've always told you that your mother died during childbirth with Wharton, but in reality, she was murdered."

Hogg spoke with a sorrowful expression, but Linley's face changed drastically.

Lin Lei asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Father, who killed Mother?"

Lin Lei has no memory of his mother, which makes him long for maternal love from childhood to adulthood.

I always thought my mother died in childbirth, but who would have thought that she was murdered?

If Lin Lei didn't have the strength at this moment, he could only rage helplessly.

But now, Linley and Hogg could easily overthrow a duchy without any problem.

Lin Lei naturally couldn't stand it.

"I haven't figured it out yet," Hogg shook his head regretfully. "All I know is that one of the killers had a red spider birthmark on his arm."
