Episode 10 Baruch Chapter 17 Homecoming
In Useno’s study.
“Lord Magistrate?” That blonde-haired middle-aged man shouted softly, ever since Useno had come back from being routed by Linley and Bebe’s attack, Useno’s entire person had become much more somber, and those underlings didn’t even dare to approach Useno.
Useno raised his head, those ghostly cold eyes looking towards him.
The blonde-haired middle-aged man even squeezed out a smile, “Lord Magistrate, what should we do about Linley now?”
“Linley?” Useno snorted coldly.
The blonde middle-aged man’s heart trembled, and he could feel the temperature in the study drop dramatically as Useno then said indifferently, “Immediately send someone to spread the news of this place to the Holy Island, and tell the Pope. This Linley, if he’s still not gotten rid of …… then later on, if my Holy See is destroyed, it’s probably destroyed in the hands of this Linley!”
Useno was truly afraid of Linley’s growth rate.
Last August, Linley had fought with Hedson, and at that time, Linley’s strength wasn’t even close to Hedson’s. And then it was only April of the second year, adding up to only about eight months having passed. In just eight months …… Linley’s strength had grown so much.
That purple longsword attack hadn’t been able to threaten Hedson in the past, and now, it had injured him, Useno.
“He, he’s not even thirty years old!” Useno’s heart was filled with worry.
“Yes, Lord Magistrate, I will immediately send someone to pass this your meaning to His Holiness the Pope.” The blonde-haired middle-aged man hurriedly said.
Useno sighed in his heart, “If, if among the people killed and offered to the Lord of Light back then, there wasn’t Linley’s mother, perhaps …… this Linley would have become a pillar of our Holy See of Light, and would have been able to help my Holy See of Light overwhelm the Holy See of Darkness.”
It was late.
Linley and the Light Cleric had already gone on opposite sides.
In the Domain of Chaos. Nowadays, there were three main forces, one being the Light Synod, one being the Dark Synod, and the other being Linley’s side. Because of the battle at Sheli County City, the Illuminati was silent nowadays. It kept a low profile.
The Dark Vatican was even less likely to make a move, they still had to watch Linley and the Light Vatican kill each other, so naturally they kept a low profile as well. As long as Linley didn’t mess with them, it was simply impossible for them to mess with Linley.
Under these circumstances.
Linley’s side had the strongest momentum, the preparations for the Baruch Principality were underway, and now the Baruch Principality had three counties and nineteen small cities, with more than twenty million people under its jurisdiction. With such a large area, it’s actually already one half of a normal kingdom.
A mega-duchy.
And Linley. Once again, he was being sung about by countless populations …… Among his deeds was the addition of beheading six four winged angels and repelling the Inquisitor of the Illuminati Inquisition. The more Linley’s fame grew, it also caused many magicians and warriors who worshipped Linley to flock in the direction of the Baruch Principality.
They wanted to fight for Linley!
The imperial capital of the Yulan Empire.
At Master Longus’ residence, Delia was still basking in the early morning sun in the courtyard, breathing in the fresh air. Studying Master Longus’ magical notes.
“Miss Delia, someone from the Dawson Chamber of Commerce is outside.” The guard ran over to inform.
Delia’s eyes instantly lit up.
“I, Ah Huang, bet it’s definitely Linley’s Earth Letter.” The Earth Bear next to him laughed, and Delia glanced at him with a smile. Spinning around, she commanded, “Quickly let that Dawson Chamber of Commerce person in.”
“Yes.” That guard respectfully answered the order.
Just a moment later, a smiling middle-aged man came to this courtyard, and when he saw Delia, he immediately took out a letter from his pocket, “Miss Delia, this is your letter, from the Collar of Chaos.” This was not the first time he had sent a letter to Delia.
Delia saw the person who sent this letter. She knew that this letter was from Linley’s side.
“Miss Delia, then I’ll take my leave.” This middle-aged man was respectful.
Delia smiled gratefully, and when the middle-aged man left. Delia opened the envelope and started to read it, but the Earth Bear next to her stretched his head to look at it. Delia could not help but turn around and glared at him, “Huang, I’m angry ah.”
The Earth Bear immediately laughed nervously for a few moments.
Delia laughed and continued to read on, just reading on, Delia’s body trembled with excitement.
“Great, great.” Delia stood up straight away in excitement, she felt her heart beating faster and her whole body started sweating.
“Delia, why are you so happy?” The Earth Bear was puzzled, and even the Mad Thunder Blizzard Eagle who was beside her looked at Delia in confusion. And at this time, a middle-aged man walked out from within the house, and it was precisely that Wind Holy Magical Guide, Master Longus.
“Teacher.” Delia respectfully said.
Master Longus looked at Delia with a smile and said, “Hatton told me that you received a letter from Linley’s Earth, as if there was some great joy?”
Delia glared at the Earth Bear, but the Earth Bear smiled smugly.
“Teacher.” Still excited, Delia replied, “It’s Linley’s letter, he told me …… that the Baruch Duchy was established on April 16th of this year, that’s today, Linley’s Duchy was finally established, it’s just, it’s just great.”
Grandmaster Longus was well aware of Delia’s affairs.
“So happy? Is it for the fact that you’re going to meet Linley soon, that you’re happy?” Longus joked.
Delia’s face reddened as she laughed, and she didn’t know if it was shyly red, or if it was caused by being too excited.
“Alright, teacher, I won’t talk to you anymore, I’ll go back first. Tell my parents about this matter. According to what I told them at the beginning, Linley has established a principality, and they should no longer object to my affair with Linley’s land.” Delia said.
Master Longus nodded.
“Alright, go ahead.”
Delia nodded repeatedly and immediately left Master Longus’ residence with the Wild Thunder Blast Eagle ‘Pare’, watching Delia leave, Master Longus however shook his head and sighed, “Delia’s parents, I’m afraid they won’t be so easy to convince.”
Inside the Lane Family.
The Daiya Lane couple were puzzled, their own daughter was so anxious to pull the two of them into the middle of the quiet side hall, what exactly was the matter they wanted to talk about?
“Father, mother, I have something to tell you.” Delia took a deep breath.
Delia’s mother smiled, “What’s the big news, with that look?”
She smiled as well, “Eh. Father, mother, didn’t you say at first that being together might cause His Majesty the Emperor to trust our family less? But now, Linley, he has already established his principality in the Domain of Chaos.”
“Established a principality?” Mr. and Mrs. Daya Lane.
“Delia, my dear daughter. You can’t lie to your father, after all, this thing you’re talking about, I’ve never heard of it before.” Daya Lane said.
Delia smiled darkly.
Linley’s Baruch Principality had only been established today, and it would take at least ten days and a half months for that news to spread thousands of miles to the Yulan Empire. It would be strange if her earthly father knew now.
“It’s true, but I just got the news in advance. The duchy Linley built is called the ‘Baruch Duchy’.” Delia affirmed.
The two Daiya-Laines looked at each other.
“It’s true. Father, mother, don’t you believe what I said?” Delia’s brows furrowed.
Daiya Lane smiled faintly and shook his head, “I~ words. But why did you have to marry Linley? Even though Linley he established a duchy …… but is being the wife of an Archduke as good as being an Imperial Empress?”
The smile on Delia’s face froze.
“Father, what are you trying to say?” Delia’s expression was stony like never before.
Daiya Lane reached out to press on Delia’s shoulders, but Delia stepped aside, and Daiya Lane sighed, “Delia, yes, Linley is a Saint Realm powerhouse. He is powerful. But His Majesty Rand is also the emperor of my Yulan Empire, and it’s fine for you to marry him. And …… our entire Lane family will benefit from it.”
Delia looked at her father, and what she had in her eyes was all disbelief.
“Father, are you still the same father you were back then?” Delia’s voice seemed a bit hoarse.
Daiya Lane choked, and his wife did not know what to say for a moment.
“Father. I love Linley very much, but it’s not because he’s a Saint Realm powerhouse. I fell in love with him back when I was at the Ernst Magic Academy. Was he a Saint realm powerhouse back then? Why would you guys think of your daughter like that?”
“Also. Since returning from the academy, for those eight or nine years, I didn’t accept the advances of any youth in any of the imperial capitals, why? Don’t you guys understand?”
Delia really didn’t know what her parents were thinking.
“When I came back from the O’Brien Empire and told you all about my affair with Linley, I was trying to obtain your blessings. Yet …… you all discouraged me.” Tears shimmered in Delia’s eyes, “I admit that what you all said made sense. At the time, my being with Linley would indeed affect the level of trust His Majesty has in the family lands.”
“Father, mother, I love you all, and I love this family. That’s why I don’t want to make things difficult for you all. Even though I wanted to go to Linley’s earlier, I endured it for your sake, and I stayed in the Imperial Capital because I cherish this home, and I cherish you all.”
“Yet, you guys are persuading me to marry this person, to marry that person. What the hell is wrong with that? Is Linley not as good as those noble dudes? Why are you all always like this?” Delia had always had a suppressed very in her heart for the past seven or eight months.
“It’s finally today, Linley he’s established a principality. I came here today, in high spirits, and I hope …… that I have the blessing of my dear parents. But ……” Delia said as tears began to flow, “you have disappointed me, so much.”
Mr. and Mrs. Daya Lane fell silent, facing their daughter’s eyes.
“Father, Mother, I love and cherish you all.” Delia took a deep breath, “If you all still cherish me, I hope that the day I marry Linley, I will be able to receive your blessing. If you guys don’t care about me as a daughter …… then, forget it.”
After Delia finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Mr. and Mrs. Daiya Lane were both a little blindsided for a moment, blindsided by their daughter’s long list of words.
Only when their daughter was about to leave did they wake up.
“Delia.” They called out, yet at this moment, Delia was on the back of the Mad Thunder Blast Eagle and had already flown into the sky.
……
Sitting on the back of the Wild Thunder Blast Eagle, looking down at the imperial capital that was getting smaller and smaller, after saying goodbye to her teacher, Delia directly left the imperial capital. The wind blew away Delia’s long, flowing golden hair, and also dried up Delia’s tears.
At the moment, the heartbroken Delia was only attached to Linley, and only Linley’s embrace could make her feel warm.
The Mad Thunder Blizzard Eagle also chirped in a low voice, seemingly comforting Delia.
Gradually …… the Berserk Thunderstorm Eagle and Delia disappeared at the end of the northern sky.
Outside of Black Earth City, at the foot of Black Crow Mountain.
“Linley he’s currently practicing on Black Crow Mountain.” Sessler pointed at the mountain in front of him and said with a smile, Delia looked at the scene of birds and flowers in front of her, but there was suppressed excitement in her heart, “Mr. Sessler, has Linley he been here all this time?”
Sessler laughed, “Almost all the time, Linley is here cultivating. Bebe is here as well.”
As the two of them spoke, they went up the mountain as well.
Along that stream, Sessler led Delia to the shore of that bend in the lake, and Delia immediately saw Linley. At the moment, Linley was wearing a sky-blue robe, his long hair casually draped, holding a purple longsword as he experimented with his swordplay on the surface of that lake.
Wherever the purple-blooded soft sword passed, space fluctuated, and Linley’s entire person appeared so blurry.
Clearly, at this moment, Linley was immersed in cultivation.
“Ah, Delia, you’re here. Boss!!!” Bebe, who had originally been frolicking in the water, saw Delia in a flash with his dripping little eyes and immediately shouted in excitement.
Linley’s movements came to a halt and he immediately turned around.
Seeing Delia, Linley’s entire being froze for a moment as if his soul had been struck, and then he flew over in excitement. Delia, on the other hand, had an uncontrollably excited smile on her face, and her eyes became moist in an instant.
