Episode 5 Divine Sword ‘Purple Blood’ Chapter 8 The Upper Classes of the Yulan Continent

In the middle of the Waldry Hotel’s specialized parlor, two rank seven Templars stood with solemn faces on either side of one of the parlor’s doors, while Linley and the other four walked in through one of the inner doors. Feet stepped on the smooth marble floor that could be used as a mirror, emitting crisp, powerful footsteps.

When Linley, Yale, and the four of them stepped in, the seven people seated in the parlor all turned their heads to look over.

“The cardinal archbishop, three white priests, and three templars.”

Linley recognized the identities of these seven people, and Linley could sense that these seven people were extremely powerful. According to some information that Linley knew – amongst the Holy See, the Cardinal Archbishop was second only to the Holy Emperor, and in order to become a Cardinal Archbishop not only did one need to have enough prestige, but at the same time, one’s strength was at the very least at the level of a level nine Archmagic Guide.

“Ninth level Grand Magus?”

Linley couldn’t help but scrutinize this Cardinal Archbishop.

The cardinal in front of him was middle-aged, with a head of curly brown hair. His nose was high and straight, and the corners of his mouth always carried a smile, the entire person appearing easily approachable.

“Hello, Linley. And little Yale.”

This Cardinal Archbishop smiled and rose, “Let me briefly introduce you, these three white-clothed priests are all my deputies, while these three Templars are, in fact, the head of our Knights of Glory, Marcus, and his two deputies, and as for me,…… you can call me ‘Gilmer’.”

Cardinal ‘Gilmer’.

Linley had also heard that the Holy Alliance had eight ace knights, among them the Knights of Glory, and that each of these eight ace knights were extremely powerful, possessing astonishing attack power.

“Lord Gilmer, Lord Marcus. There are also all the lords. I wonder what you all have to do?”

Linley said humbly, while at the same time Linley paid slight attention to Marcus.

Marcus, was an extremely strong bald warrior, and the entire person sitting there gave the impression of being a stubborn stone there, making it difficult to shake. Among the seven people from the Holy See, Gilmer and Marcus had the highest status, Marcus, as the head of one of the eight Ace Knights, I’m afraid that his strength wouldn’t be much weaker than Gilmer’s, and his status wasn’t even close to being the same.

Marcus grinned, and that thick, low voice rang out, ”I heard Gilmer say that our Holy Alliance has produced an extraordinary genius. A seventeen year old level seven dual system magician. I’ve always been curious about what this genius looks like, and today, haha, I like it.”

With Marcus’ vision, he naturally saw at a glance that Linley was also a warrior.

“Kid, how many warrior ranks have you reached?”

Marcus questioned.

Gilmer sat there like a good old boy, not the least bit upset that Marcus had grabbed the conversation.

Linley humbly said, “Just reached warrior rank six this year.”

“Oh.”

Marcus’s eyes lit up, “A seventeen year old rank six warrior is already considered quite impressive. I, Marcus, seldom convince people, but I have to admit that you are indeed a genius. Not only have you cultivated magic to this point, but you’re also a decent warrior.”

Linley smiled humbly.

The two deputy chiefs of the Knights next to Marcus also looked surprised.

Gilmer laughed, “Alright, Marcus. It’s great that Linley is a rank six warrior, but a seventeen year old rank six warrior can be found in one or two random warrior academies. His most precious thing is still magical talent, ah.”

The difficulty of warrior cultivation was originally a little lower than that of a magician.

Those who grew up desperately exercising their bodies and beating their strength. If the family lineage was good, they cultivated fighting qi from a young age. It wouldn’t be too difficult to become a rank six warrior at seventeen then.

“Linley, you’re able to have such amazing achievements as a member of our Holy Alliance. I’m also proud of you as a cardinal of the divine temple. I would like to ask you, are you interested in joining our Holy Alliance? I think that with your natural power. As long as you join, right now I can guarantee that you will become a White Priest of our divine temple, and becoming a Cardinal Archbishop in the future won’t even be a problem.”

Gilmer directly threw out the pie as soon as he arrived.

The second most talented super genius in history, this kind of talented person should have 90% certainty of becoming a Holy Realm Magus. The only 10% could be due to some kind of blow that caused him to be unwilling to cultivate.

A future Holy Realm powerhouse. Even if they don’t try hard. At the very least, he would be a rank nine Magus. Such a talent. Of course it should be absorbed in.

“Lord Gilmer, this news is for me. It’s really too sudden.”

Linley had a modest and shy smile on his face, “I’m just seventeen this year, I haven’t thought too much about those yet, high positions, great power also means great responsibility, I don’t have that courage to shoulder that responsibility right now. I wonder …… if I can go on for a few more years?”

Linley excused himself.

Gilmer couldn’t help but frown.

The second most powerful super genius in the history of the entire Yulan Continent, such a character was 90% a Saint Realm powerhouse. Even if he couldn’t use them himself, he couldn’t let the enemy use them.

“Linley, I know you’re very young, however, you’re a member of our Holy Alliance, you’re also a genius figure, as a genius, you should adapt to the burdens of the land caused by your blinding light, not retreat.”

Gilmer said in a good manner.

“What’s more, you can become a white priest under my command, and I can also guarantee that you can do whatever you want, as long as you don’t do anything against the interests of the divine temple, I will definitely not interfere with your freedom. Do you think this is okay?”

“Moreover, you can also join among any of the kingdoms under the Holy Alliance, and we can even go so far as to give you the title of Duke.”

Gilmer’s attitude had to be said to be extremely sincere.

Linley pondered.

The three white-robed priests beside Gilmer frowned, while Gilmer himself continued to smile and look at Linley with great expectations.

Simply being gazed upon by such a gaze made it difficult to refuse the other party.

Linley’s side, Yale, Reynolds, and George were all silent, and it was Yale who didn’t dare to open his mouth at this time. What kind of person was a cardinal? That was one of the top few people at the top of the Holy Alliance pyramid. The power is so great that it exceeds the king of a country, even his father can’t compare. Who was he, a young master of the Chamber of Commerce, qualified to interrupt?

Linley was constantly thinking in his mind, and Derinkelwalt had reminded Linley of this long before he had entered this meeting hall.

The four great empires and the two great alliances tussling with each other were certainly very cruel. ‘If it’s not used for me, I can’t let it be used for the enemy’ was one of the more generalized points of view.

“Lord Gilmer.”

Linley finally spoke.

Gilmer’s eyes lit up as he looked at Linley with a smile, “Made a decision?”

Linley nodded, “Lord Gilmer, I’ve lived in the Finlay Kingdom since I was a child, naturally I’m also a member of the Holy Alliance, I can assure you. As long as the Sacred Alliance doesn’t actively abandon me, I will absolutely not betray the Sacred Alliance. Regardless of which other party it is, I will definitely not join the other side either.”

“What do you mean?”

Gilmer looked at Linley in doubt.

Linley continued, “What I mean is that there’s no rush to make a decision for now, so please allow me to discuss this with my father and then tell you my choice. What I can guarantee is that …… definitely won’t join the other four great empires and the Dark Alliance.”

Gilmer smiled and nodded, “Yes, you should discuss such an important matter with your earthly father. Good, I’ll be waiting for your reply.” –

Said Gilmer as he stood up, the three white priests next to him as well as Marcus and the other three stood up as well, “Since it’s a deal. I won’t bother then, our Temple of Light is sincere and patient enough. I just hope that you, Linley, won’t make me wait a decade or two. Haha ……”

With that Gilmer laughed.

Linley’s four also stood up and watched Gilmer and the others leave.

When the Illuminati party left, the four Linley brothers’ hanging hearts settled down.

“Whew, I was so nervous just now that I didn’t dare take a breath.”

Reno said with a long sigh of relief.

George nodded his head as well, “Although that cardinal was very cordial with us all, I always felt apprehensive in my heart.”

Yale laughed, “That’s for sure, after all, he is a cardinal, one of the few people in power in the entire Holy Alliance. Hey. Lao San, what exactly do you think? The Church of Light is not so good to each other, after all, we are in the territory of the Holy Alliance. Controlled by others ah.”

“No rush, no rush.”

Linley laughed, “You see the strengths of others, but you also need to see your own advantages. Although I’m not as good as the other side, as long as I don’t defect to the other five parties, then the Illuminati won’t move me. Anyway, I said that I would discuss this with my father. As long as I don’t meet with my father for a while. Won’t that be enough to stall a little longer?”

Saying that, Linley looked at Yale, “Yale, I’m asking you for something.”

“Speak.”

Yale looked at Linley.

Linley sighed lowly, “It’s a bit hard to say. Our Baruch clan has a family heritage treasure that was the personal weapon of our clan’s first-generation patriarch, a battle knife named ‘Slaughter’. Nowadays, this warblade ‘Slaughter’ should be in the hands of a great noble in the Finlay Kingdom, and I hope that you can help me find out whose hands this warblade ‘Slaughter’ is in.”

“A family heritage treasure? This certainly needs to be found, Old Three, do you want me to help you get it back directly?”

Yale said directly.

Linley laughed, “Boss Yale, it’s enough that you’re able to help me go and find out, and I don’t lack many gold coins right now.”

Linley didn’t like owing people in his bones.

Early morning two days later.

The floor of Linley’s living room was covered in a layer of earth-colored light, and the area covered by this layer of earth-colored light wasn’t very large, probably only about three meters in circumference. As long as one’s feet stepped into this layer of area, one would feel an astonishing gravity.

Earth magic – gravity magic!

Having reached the strength of a seventh level magician, Linley’s gravity magic was now much stronger than in the past, with the ground’s gravitational pull being four times that of normal conditions. Under four times gravity, not only the body, but even the internal blood meridians had to withstand four times gravity.

Linley himself didn’t use his ground system magic power to counteract this gravitational force, instead he directly used his body to withstand this astonishing gravitational force, and at the moment, his entire body was upside down, relying on two fingers on each of his left and right hands, constantly exercising his finger strength and arm strength.

“…… Seven hundred and twenty-five, seven hundred and twenty-six.”

“Tick, tick!”

Beads of sweat slid down from Linley’s temples and dripped onto the ground.

The door to the room’s floor suddenly opened, and Yale rushed inside with gusto: “Hey, Lao San, there’s news on the matter you asked me to look into with regards to the Warblade ‘Slaughter’.”

As he said that, Yale accidentally stepped into the middle of the gravity area.

“Yale.”

Linley braced his hands together, and his entire body rushed up at breakneck speed, directly pulling Yale out of the gravity area with one hand.

“Hoo, hoo.”

Yale breathed heavily, looking at Linley in surprise, “Old Three, you set up a gravity spell in the room? I’ve been hit. That feeling just now was just too unbearable, it was as if my heart stopped all of a sudden.”

Fortunately, the time was short, otherwise Yale’s physical quality would indeed be out of order.

“By the way, Boss Yale, didn’t you say what happened to the Warblade ‘Slaughter’?”

Linley’s mind, however, was on this ancestral treasure of his family, his father’s greatest hope in his life could be to get this treasure that had been passed down from more than five thousand years ago into the family.

Yale nodded slightly, “Oh, I’ve just received news that your family’s battle knife, ‘Slaughter’, is in the hands of a large family in Finlay City, that family is called …… ”

Yale’s brows couldn’t help but furrow, he couldn’t remember that family name all of a sudden.

“Hey, Lao-San, Yale Boss, that Chief Librarian of Maia is here in person again.”

Reno’s voice rang out from the door.
