Episode 8: A Journey of Ten Thousand Miles Chapter 11: The Hand

Under the glow of the bonfire, all the faces were dark and bright at times, and the bloody scent of that bloody killing was still permeating the air, but the two parties that had been killing just a moment ago froze as they looked at the corpses that had been turned into mush, and then looked at Linley, who was carrying the Black Yul heavy sword on his back.

An eighth level powerhouse, ah, unexpectedly killed with a single sword.

This ……

unbelievable!

“Brothers, go, kill these bandits!”

Big Bearded Malone was the first to react and immediately shouted in an excited voice, “Kill these bastards, avenge your dead brothers!”

Those bandits heard Big Bearded Malone’s shout and one by one, they all came to their senses. Their leader, One-Eyed Snake McKinley, had been killed with a sword. Not to mention those mercenary guards, just that man carrying a heavy sword was enough to sweep them away by himself.

“Revenge, revenge, kill.”

The eyes of the mercenary guards were glowing, and their aura was completely up. One by one, they rushed up with weapons in hand.

“Run away!”

The bandits shouted, and one by one, they all darted to escape without any regard.

Those remaining seventy or so people disappeared in the blink of an eye into the darkness in the distance.

The mercenary guards didn’t chase after them, they just chased them for a distance of a hundred meters and retreated back, after all, their mission was to protect the caravan.

“Hoo!”

The merchants and walkers in the caravan ground all breathed a sigh of relief. The mercenary guards, on the other hand, did not look good. One by one, they went to pack up the bodies of the dozen or so dead mercenaries.

“Everyone continue to rest.”

Malone said in a loud voice.

At this time, many of the mercenary guards were also injured and had to be treated properly. The hundreds of people in that caravan quieted down, each returning to their respective places. Those who had been running outside for a long time had often encountered this kind of thing and wouldn’t make a fuss.

A bonfire was lit. The bodies of a dozen mercenaries were buried by the others under the desolate land next to the road, mercenaries who lived on the edge of the sword could die at any time, and once they died, their bodies were buried on the spot. The other mercenaries would at most take some of their belongings back with them.

Carrying his heavy sword on his back, Linley relied on a large tree by the side of the road and quietly watched the mercenaries.

“Lord Lei.”

Many of the merchants in the caravan ran over to show Linley some gratitude. There were even some who presented Linley with gold coins to show their gratitude, which Linley declined. “Brothers, good riddance.”

Malon yelled.

All of the mercenaries stood in front of those graves and bowed in unison in a large salute. In the circle of mercenaries, death was very normal. The mercenaries immediately went back to their positions one by one.

The leader of this mercenary team. Bearded Malone brought the duo of Lanz and Luther towards Linley and said gratefully, ”Lord Lei, thank you, this time if it wasn’t for you. This mercenary corps team of ours ……”

Speaking of which. Malone shook his head.

“Brother Lei, this time, it was you who saved our mercenary corps.”

Young Earth Luther also said gratefully.

Whether it was the previous reminder or the last strike. Both could be considered saving their mercenary group.

“No need.”

Linley said with a faint smile.

“Lord Lei, this is ten thousand gold coins.”

Malone took out a magic crystal card from his bosom, “This magic crystal card is anonymous and has a memory of ten thousand gold coins. Lord Lei, you must accept it. If it wasn’t for you this time, our entire mercenary group wouldn’t even be able to complete the mission. I’m afraid that surviving would be impossible.”

Linley laughed and looked to shake his head.

“Brother Lei. You take it.”

Lanz immediately persuaded, most of the people who worked in the mercenary business were very heroic. These mercenaries walked on the edge of life and death all day long. These mercenaries who walked on the edge of life and death all day long valued things like righteousness and benevolence extraordinarily highly.

“Do I look like I lack money to you?”

Linley looked towards these three people.

Linley’s spatial ring contained a full twenty-two magic crystal cards of one hundred million gold coins. Two billion two hundred million gold coins, this huge number was something that even the Dawson Chamber of Commerce wouldn’t easily take out.

Some of the clans in the four empires were formidable, and were good enough at raking in money. However, they are not as powerful as the royal family of a kingdom.

After all, some of the big families in the four empires still have to pay a lot of money to the emperor.

But Fenlai Kingdom, compared to those big families, the autonomy is much bigger. Thousands of years of accumulation …… of this wealth has reached a frightening point.

Malone heard Lin Lei say so, stunned also did not insist, he did not dare to argue with Lin Lei this strong man. And it wasn’t easy for them mercenaries to make money, “Chief Malone, go take care of those mercenaries of yours, I see that quite a few of them are injured.”

Linley said.

“Then Lord Lei please rest, I’ll leave first.”

Malon said respectfully, strong people were respected everywhere.

The bonfire was burning, most of the people in the entire caravan couldn’t sleep anymore, one by one, they were gathered around the bonfire, and apart from a few who were sleeping, everyone else was talking about the battle that had just taken place. From time to time, there were also quite a few people who turned their gazes towards Linley, and it was clear that the object of the discussion was Linley.

Linley was currently sitting cross-legged, serenely feeling the wide, deep earth and the wind that filled the heavens and earth.

After three years of cultivation in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Linley understood more about the path of cultivation. Whether it was warrior cultivation or magician cultivation, in the end, one had to realize nature.

It was as if just now, that McKinley was actually a level 8 warrior, and Linley was also a level 8 warrior.

However, in terms of realm, McKinley was still in a simple attack technique, while Linley had already reached the third level and was able to use momentum to suppress others. This potential was the potential of heaven and earth. A sword out, able to affect the surrounding space.

The gap between the two was too great, and it was no surprise that they were killed with one sword.

“If I hadn’t been in the Demonic Beast Mountain Range. Forgetting everything and completely immersing myself in nature for three years of bitter cultivation. I’m afraid that even if I practiced even harder in a place like Hess City, it would be difficult to advance in the realm.”

Linley said in his heart.

The people in the caravan whispered about Linley, but Linley was quietly cultivating as if nothing had happened.

“Lei, Lord Lei?”

A slightly timid voice rang out from the side.

Linley heard the voice and turned his head to look, and it was none other than that pithily-dressed little gentleman. That aristocratic teenager Keane, a small smile appeared on Linley’s face, “Keane, right? Is something the matter?”

Keane’s heart was proud to hear Linley call him by his first name, and he whispered, “Lord Lei, I have a request.”

“Sit down and speak.”

Linley’s attitude caused Keane to relax slightly and also sit down next to Linley, his eyes looking adoringly at Linley as he said, “Lord Lei, that sword of yours just now was so powerful, I’ve been bullied since I was a child. I also want to become a powerful warrior, can you teach me?”

Linley was stunned.

Warrior cultivation wasn’t something that could be done in a day or two. It required years and years of hard cultivation, and it also required good talent. Plus a good instructor. It was only when all three were added together that a strong person was created.

“It’s a bit difficult, and I don’t have enough time to teach you.”

Linley said with a smile.

Ji En shook his head repeatedly and hurriedly waved his hand, “No, Lord Lei, I don’t want to learn too much, nor do I want to be that powerful. Just learn that sword of yours, just that one just now.”

Linley cried and laughed.

That sword just now looked simple, but it was Linley’s ten years of bitter cultivation. Plus the realization of the mind. Eventually realizing the potential, not to mention an eighth level warrior, even an average ninth level warrior. I’m afraid that it’s also difficult to understand what a potential is.

According to the Baruch family records, the use of heavy hammer ancestors, in reaching the level of the Holy Spirit, but also only to understand the weight of the light, in reaching the Holy Spirit after decades, only to understand the potential.

Magicians, by nature, were more likely to feel nature than warriors.

The difficulty of a warrior trying to comprehend potential could be much more difficult than Linley, who was both a magician and a warrior.

“Very, very difficult? I’m not afraid of it.”

Keane even said.

“Keane.”

A soft voice rang out, a light blue Jenny ran over, her hands were holding her robes, and she said to Keane with concern, “It’s cold at night, put it on.”

Keane, however, turned his head away with a scowl, “No.”

Jenny’s brows furrowed in disbelief, but there was nothing she could do about her brother.

Keane continued, “Sister, look, Lord Lei, he’s wearing a sweatshirt that thin, and I’m wearing this much, and he’s still making me wear it.”

Keane was dumbfounded, this Keane was actually comparing himself to himself, it was in the dead of winter, Linley didn’t care about that little bit of cold. Not to mention now.

“Keane, put it on.”

Linley spoke out.

Linley’s words seemed to be more useful than Jenny’s. “Oh.”

Keane took the clothes from Jenny’s hands and put them on, and Jenny looked at Linley gratefully, “Thank you, Lord Lei.”

Linley smiled and nodded.

Jenny’s face turned slightly red after just a glance with Linley.

However, Linley unintentionally noticed Jenny’s hands, and this look surprised Linley. According to Linley’s observations, this Jenny was undoubtedly a noble lady. However, Jenny’s hands were rather rough.

“Keane, don’t disturb Lord Lei for too long, Lord Lei also needs to rest.”

Jenny gave Linley an apologetic smile, and with a slightly reddened face, she went back to her carriage alone.

Linley looked over at Keane.

“Keane, your sister needs work at home?”

Linley was puzzled, generally noble ladies’ hands were delicate. But this Miss Jenny was definitely an aristocrat, regardless of her temperament or dress. But her hands were ……

Keane nodded his head and said, “Yes, Lord Lei, don’t look at me dressed like this, I actually feel awkward wearing it myself, I haven’t worn something this formal in a long time.”

Keane said pulling on his collar, “Actually, my sister and I, we’re both from a normal town. It’s just Grandpa Lambert who takes care of us, and my sister usually still has to run the household.”

“Oh?”

Linley became puzzled, “But your sister’s demeanor doesn’t look like an ordinary country girl.”

Keane nodded, “That’s normal, our father is the city lord of a county in the O’Brien Empire, with a high status. We lived in the city lord’s mansion when we were young, but when I was six years old, my mother, my sister, and I were all kicked out by my eldest mother. My mother then took us back to her old home. My sister was educated by nobles when she was young, and she was ten years old when she left home. All that aristocratic habit was naturally maintained. But I was small and my mother’s health was poor. Grandpa Lambert couldn’t take care of us all by himself, so Sister grew up doing chores, and Sister would do any chore.”

“I remember in the middle of winter, my sister’s hands were frozen and cracked, but she still cooked for us. I wanted to help, but my sister wouldn’t even let me.”

Keane pursed his lips, his eyes a little red, “This time, when I go to inherit the position of City Lord, I’ll definitely not let my sister do housework anymore, and I’ll also have a large group of people come to serve my sister.”

As Linley listened, he also somewhat admired Jenny, a girl who seemed so soft and shy.

“You’re going to inherit the position of City Lord, didn’t you let the eldest mother kick you out?”

Linley inquired.

Keane didn’t hide it either, “My eldest mother tried to kick us out in the first place just so that his son could inherit the position of City Lord. Unfortunately …… that trashy son of his spends his days drinking and drinking, and after my father died not long ago, that trashy son of hers was even happier to be reckless and flirtatious. I heard that some time ago, died in the belly of a woman. With him dead, it’s only natural for me to inherit the position of city lord.”

Keane looked at Linley expectantly, “Lord Lei, just teach me, when I become the City Lord, I’ll definitely arrange for you to become a very, very high and powerful official.”
