Episode 8: A Journey of Ten Thousand Miles Chapter 30: The Five-Year Engagement

The city lord of Chill County City, Keane, was just a fourteen year old teenager, although it was said that his sister, Jenny, was helping him on the side. But how much does Jenny actually know? Most of the time it was the old servant Lambert who helped.

Lambert was dressed in straight clothes, his hair was combed and shiny, strolling inside the castle, that aristocratic atmosphere was full.

“Miss is also, always holding on to that Lord Lei.”

Lambert sighed in his heart, Jenny wanted to go see Linley, but Linley had once said that he didn’t want to be disturbed when he was practicing. So Jenny could only wait inside the castle, but Linley hadn’t come to the castle for a long time.

Looking at Jenny’s wasted appearance, Lambert was heartbroken.

“Lambert.”

Lambert looked over at the sound of the voice, only to see Linley, dressed in a light blue warrior’s strong suit, walking over alone, Jenny, Keane had long ago instructed the castle guards to directly release Linley without informing them when they saw him.

“Lord Lei.”

Lambert burst out in joy.

“Lord Lei, wait in the living room for a moment, I’ll immediately call the young master and young miss.” ……

In the living room.

Linley sat quietly in a chair, this time traveling to the provincial city of Bazil, himself and Sessler and the Lina sisters would presumably stay around the provincial city of Bazil.

After all, one also needed to be careful of the Illuminati really being hysterical about sending Saint Realm experts over, and with ‘MacKenzie’ in Provincial City Bazil, the Illuminati wouldn’t dare to be too arrogant.

“Big brother Lei.”

A surprised voice came from the doorway, and Linley turned his head to look, only to see Jenny in a light red dress with a flushed face, her chest heaving and gasping. Learning of Linley’s arrival, Jenny ran over as fast as she could.

“What’s the point of running so fast. Gasping like that, sit down.”

Linley laughed.

“En.”

Jenny obediently sat to the side.

A little while later, Keane and Lambert also walked in, Keane grumbled with a smile, “Sister. You’re running too fast, aren’t you, I can’t keep up.”

Jenny was a bit shy and glared hard at Keane.

“Big brother Lei, you haven’t come for a long time. This time you can stay for a few more days.”

Keane said to Linley.

Linley shook his head and said, “This time I came to say goodbye to you all. I’m preparing to leave here in Chiltern County City.”

“What.”

Keane and Lambert were stunned, and they both turned their heads to look at Jenny next to them, who was originally blushing and shy, and froze all of a sudden.

“Big Brother Ray, where are you going?”

Jenny was the first to ask.

“For the time being, I’m going to prepare to go to the provincial city of Bazil.”

Linley replied.

The provincial city of Bazil was still relatively far from the county town of Chil, and it would take a normal person two or three days to rely on a horse carriage.

“Big brother Lei. I’ll go with you.”

Jenny said with all her courage.

Linley sighed in the bottom of his heart, how could Linley not see Jenny’s thoughts, but for Jenny, Linley only had a kind of pity for his sister, the kind of feeling that an older brother would have if he favored his sister.

“Alright, Jenny. I’m going there on an errand, and I might run into danger at some point. You don’t need to follow me.”

Linley refused.

Jenny shook her head and said firmly, “I’m not afraid.”

Looking at Zhanni, Linley knew that Zhanni probably wouldn’t give up without saying absolutely nothing, Linley sighed longingly, “Zhanni, my mind is on cultivation. There is nothing else, Jenny. There is no way I can take care of you.”

Linley spoke euphemistically, but how could Jenny not understand?

Jenny’s face was a little pale, the eight years she spent growing up was spent in a countryside town, where she lived a quiet but sleepy life. And this time when they came to Chill County City, it was Linley who had pampered them all the way, which had caused the siblings to eventually get the position of City Lord.

“Big brother Lei, I don’t want to hold back my feelings anymore. I know that you don’t like me, big brother Lei, I’m not asking for much. As long as you let me follow you, Big Brother Lei. I’ll give you a maid at that time. As long as I follow you, I’ll be happy.”

Jenny said expectantly.

Keane and Lambert were both silent.

Boiling Linley’s heart was also sad. Jenny was indeed a kind girl, but ……

Teng “Jenny, you don’t have to venture outside with me. You’re a noble girl now, and there are sure to be many outstanding young men pursuing you in Chill County.”

Linley said.

Wen Jenny bit her lip and firmly shook her head, her eyes moist.

“Big brother Lei.”

Keane spoke out, “Just promise my sister, you’re not here for this period of time, my sister teared up every day, she’s lost weight.”

Learning Jenny’s eyes were moist with anticipation and thirst, he looked at Jenny.

“Jenny.”

Linley eventually really softened his heart, “Five years, I’ll give you five years, you give me five years as well. I’ll come see you after five years, and if you still insist at that time, I’ll promise to let you follow me.”

Time is the best antidote.

After five years, Jenny grew up, her heart and thoughts would change, Linley thought that Jenny most likely grew up without a father to take care of her, which made her so attached to herself, when a few more years passed, Jenny matured, her thoughts would probably change, and Linley would be relaxed by then.

“Five years, good.”

There was hope in Jenny’s eyes again.

“Jenny.”

Linley looked at Jenny, “Before I go, I have to tell you that my real name isn’t actually ‘Lei’, it’s Linley Baruch. “Linley Linley Baruch?” Jenny muttered.

“Linley? Lord Ray, you’re that genius stone carving master?”

Lambert exclaimed, Lambert had stayed in the Sacred Alliance in the first place. In the Sacred Alliance, Linley’s fame was very great.

“I hope you won’t divulge my whereabouts. Goodbye.”

Linley tried to squeeze out a smile before turning around and leaving in large strides.

Jenny looked at Linley’s back, tears slipping from her eyes, those fists clenched tightly, her nails pinched into her palms.

On the road outside the city of Chill County.

The two sisters, Rebecca and Lina, were sitting on the black-striped cloud panther ‘Heilu’, while Bebe lay comfortably in Lina’s arms, while Linley, dressed in warrior’s power suit, and Sessler, dressed in magician’s robes, walked quickly.

This group of people hurried towards the provincial city of Bazil at breakneck speeds.

The provincial city of Bazil, the huge city could be seen from a long distance in the outskirts, and Linley’s few people just entered the provincial city of Bazil.

“There’s no rush to find that Perry, we’ll stay first.”

Linley said directly.

Sessler nodded his head as well.

There were definitely quite a few people named Perry in the entire provincial city. It would take some time to find them, so Linley, Sessler, and the others settled on an independent courtyard in a hotel and stayed there. ……

Two days after Linley and the others had arrived in the provincial city of Bazil, the Green Wind Eagles sent out by Count Perry had already arrived at the Holy Island of the Church of Light.

Holy Island. Suspended beyond the Yulan continent.

The entire Holy Island was nearly dozens of miles long and wide, in fact, this place was a secret base of the Illuminati in the past, and now it was directly designated as the base camp.

A nine-story Temple of Light.

This Temple of Light was not as tall as the Temple of Light in Finlay City. However, this Temple of Light was also built by the Holy See after spending a great deal of effort.

The ninth floor of the Temple of Light.

Hastings was sitting in front of the window, looking through the window at the boundless azure ocean outside the island.

Recently, Hastings was in a very good mood, a team of ninth level powerhouses he had sent out had already captured that Undead Grand Magician ‘Sessler’. And two days ago, he had gotten even better news. His men and horses had made a big discovery in the eighteen duchies of the Northern Domain – five level eight earth flesh bodies.

With human bodies, the average person cultivating to level six was the limit.

Some geniuses, purely physical might cultivate to level seven.

However, …… this time, the Illuminati’s experts in the eighteen principalities of the Northern Domain found five brothers who were extremely strong. They didn’t have fighting qi. However, their mere bodies were cultivated to the eighth level.

“An eighth level earthly physical body can definitely allow a six-winged angel to exert power.”

Hastings couldn’t help but get excited, “Five grade eight flesh bodies, when the angels are possessed, they can completely give birth to five peak Saint Domain powerhouses.”

Beginning Saint Domain, Ordinary Saint Domain. As well as peak Saint Domain. These were three different levels altogether.

The experts at the peak of the Holy Domain of the Illuminati added up to a total of only five. And as soon as these five Level 8 Flesh Bodies were escorted over, it would double the Holy See’s peak Saint Domain experts!

“At that time, on what basis will the Dark Synod fight us?”

Hastings’ face was filled with a smile.

“Your Majesty.”

“Come in.”

Hastings’ expression regained its calmness.

A white-robed priest walked in and respectfully presented a secret message, saying, “Your Majesty, this is a secret message from the person in charge of our northwest province in the O’Brien Empire.”

“Oh?”

Hastings lifted his eyebrows.

The person in charge in the other regions. Other than the annual routine report, they would normally hardly send any secret messages over. Once a secret message was sent over, it would definitely be something big.

“Could it be?”

Hastings suddenly remembered that Lampson and the others escorting the Undead Daemon Guide had just entered the Northwest Province some time ago.

Hastings directly opened the secret letter as soon as he received it.

Hastings looked at it for a while his face completely sank, “You ask Lord Steller to come over.”

“Lord Steller?”

That white-robed priest was startled.

In the Illuminati, the leading figure in the ascetic regiment land was Lord Falling Leaves, and the leading figure amongst the group of Extraordinary Deacons in the Inquisition was ‘Schuettler’.

Lord Steller, was only an Extraordinary Deacon.

However, his strength was comparable to that of the Inquisition’s Inquisitor ‘Useno’. Both were peak Saint Domain powerhouses. In times of peace, the Holy See would rarely send out peak Saint Domain powerhouses.

“Go quickly.”

Hastings chortled.

The white-robed priest woke up. Panickedly, he responded, “Yes. Your Majesty.”

Watching the white-robed priest leave, Hastings frowned, “Lampson and the others originally arrived in the Northwestern Province half a month ago. However, at the border, no message has been sent about their arrival in the Holy Union. It seems …… that they were really poisoned.”

Lampson and eleven other ninth level powerhouses were all dead.

This blow could not be described as small, but Hastings was still composed.

After all, the power that the Holy See relied on the most was the Holy Realm powerhouses, as long as the Holy Realm powerhouses were still around, the Holy See land would not have any problems at all.

“Lampson and the six of them are escorting Sessler. With the strength of the six of them, one or two rank nine powerhouses definitely can’t deal with them.”

Hastings’ brow furrowed, “Could it be a Holy Domain powerhouse? McKensie of the Northwest Province?”

Hastings could only think of McKensie.

“McKensie!”

Hastings’ heart was filled with killing intent.

In Hastings’ eyes, eleven rank nine powerhouses could not catch up to one Sessler. The preciousness was not Sessler as a person, but the necromancy cultivation method. Undead magic, as a magic of the same level as Great Prophecy, was very powerful.

Some curse magic, some poisonous gas, plague negative magic, as well as undead summoning and undead enslavement. All of them were very powerful.

The Church does not exclude undead magicians.

As long as this undead magician was willing to serve them, they completely gave the undead magician a position of ‘Extraordinary Deacon’. The Inquisition, a dark place, had a variety of masters within it.

Hastings didn’t know that it was Linley who had killed Lampson and the others, and if he did, I’m afraid Hastings would be even more furious.

“Your Majesty.”

An icy voice rang out.

“Steller, come in.”

Hastings said cordially.

Schuettler was only one meter seven in height, and was considered to be a relatively small person in the Yulan Continent. He had short silver-white hair, his gaze was as sharp as a sharp knife, and he looked like a middle-aged man.

“Your Majesty, is there something wrong?”

Schuettler said directly.

Hastings was also very direct: “According to the intelligence, Lampson and a group of other people may all be dead, and the murderer is most likely a Saint Domain powerhouse from the O’Brien Empire.”

Schuettler remained silent.

“I am now sending you to the North Sea Province of the O’Brien Empire, and when you get there you will rendezvous with the other escort squad. No matter what happens, you must bring those five brothers to Holy Island for me.”

“What if we encounter a Saint Domain powerhouse from the O’Brien Empire?”

Schuettler inquired.

“Kill them directly while flying back with those five people as fast as you can.”

Hastings said indifferently.

Those five level eight flesh bodies, used as carriers for angelic descent, the Illuminati could completely create five peak Saint Domain powerhouses, for this it was worth it to offend the O’Brien Empire. After all, it was just offending, but at most giving up some of the Holy Alliance’s interests.

“Fine, I will immediately depart this evening.”

Steller said indifferently.
