Episode 8: A Journey of Ten Thousand Miles Chapter 51: Wharton
The imperial capital of the O’Brien Empire, ‘Red Flame’, looking at the entire Yulan Continent, I’m afraid that in terms of the size of the city alone, only the imperial capital of the Yulan Empire can be comparable to it.
As for the name ‘Red Flame’, it was personally named by the Martial God ‘O’Brien’.
The imperial capital, Red Flame City, had a resident population of millions.
As a capital city with a history of more than 5,000 years, there were many ancient families with a long history in Red Flame City, and in a place like the Imperial Capital Red Flame City, there were many experts even at the ninth level, and no one dared to be strong in the Imperial Capital. Because there were too many powerful clans here.
Of course, the number one power in the Imperial Capital was undoubtedly the Martial God Sect.
The personal disciples of the Martial God Sect almost never showed their faces, but it was those named disciples who were the weakest rank eight warriors, and most of them were rank nine warriors. The toughness of the Martial God Sect could be seen from this. In particular, the owner of the Martial God Sect was the ‘Martial God’.
It was important to know that in the O’Brien Empire, there was a boycott of other religions. It was the populace that believed in the ‘Martial God’. They treated the Martial God as their faith!
From this, one could imagine the position of the Martial God in the hearts of the populace.
The eastern city of the imperial capital, Red Flame City, was where the dignitaries lived, and the imperial palace was also within the eastern city. It was on Fushi Road in the East City of Red Flame City. On Fushi Road was a systematic mansion, all of which were uniformly built by the imperial family. They were all used to reward meritorious officials and nobles of the empire.
One of the residences on Fushi Road was the residence of the new star of the imperial capital, Earl Walton, and two strong guards stood straight at the gate. And at this moment, there were only four people in the middle of the living room of this mansion.
All four people were standing, one of them was even walking back and forth, with a hint of sadness between his eyebrows.
He looked to be around twenty-two or twenty-two years old. Wearing a simple warrior’s outfit, the sleeveless sweatshirt completely emphasized his grave muscles, and his nose was straight. His nose was straight, his eyebrows were thick and black, and with his Chinese character face, he looked tough and brave.
The most shocking thing was his figure.
The amazing height of two meters two, that broad shoulders, relatively narrow waist and abdomen, as well as that as two slender and powerful thighs.
“This appearance of Walton’s, it’s even more shocking than Linley’s.”
Hillman, who was next to him, said in his heart.
Compared to Walton, Linley was more introverted.
“Young Master Walton, are you still troubled about the matter with the Seven Princesses?”
The bespectacled, rosacea-nosed butler, Hilly, said smilingly, and Walton turned around and said helplessly, “Grandpa Hilly. It’s not like you don’t know the ones pursuing Nina.”
Another youth among the four people in this hall laughed out loud and said, “Young Master Walton, you are such a resolute person, how come you are so mousy when it comes to your feelings? Why don’t you just go directly to His Majesty and ask for his hand in marriage?”
“Go directly?”
Walton’s eyebrows lifted.
Hillman said from the side, “Nader is right, you’ve already reached level eight. And you’re a Dragonblood Warrior Family Scion. His Majesty must know that a Dragon Blood Warrior family scion, if he reaches level eight. That is for sure practicing Dragon Blood Fighting Qi and possessing the ability to transform into the ground.”
In Hillman’s opinion, it was simply impossible to reach the eighth level without practicing fighting qi and relying on the physical body alone.
But Hillman didn’t know that the five brothers beside Linley nowadays were the ones who practiced their bodies alone to reach level eight.
“Walden, as a dragonblood warrior, you marry the seventh princess. It’s also the right match for the family. I believe His Majesty will agree.”
Butler Hilly said with a smile, “But for courting, I think that you can let the seventh princess go and probe His Majesty, so that it’s also more certain.”
Butler Healy and Hillman looked at each other and both laughed.
In the last one or two years, the matter between Walden and the Empire’s seventh princess had long been rumored throughout the entire imperial capital. It’s just that the other noble teenagers in the imperial land hadn’t given up either. And there were two very competitive ones among them.
“Don’t want to.”
Walton shook his head.
He believed in the seventh princess. The Seventh Princess had told him long ago that she was not married to him, it was just that Walton also knew. The marriages of the princes and princesses of the empire were not something they could decide per se. Walton also didn’t want the Seventh Princess to be too troubled. It was certainly best to be able to marry righteously.
“Right. Grandpa Hiri, any news about big brother?”
Wharton inquired.
Butler Healy nodded and said, “The message from the Dawson Chamber of Commerce says that your big brother is still hidden in a place of bitter cultivation. There is nothing special going on.”
“Big brother is still working so hard.”
Walden admired Linley in his heart.
Many things in the Dragonblood Warrior Clan, whether it was the inherited treasure or the family’s great feud, were shouldered by Linley alone. And yet, he, Walton, could cultivate quietly in the imperial capital.
Linley always covered for him.
“Big brother …….”
Walton still remembered when he was a child, that time when the two great Saint Realm powerhouses had fought outside of the town of Wushan, and those shattered boulders had fallen densely from the air, his big brother had been the one who had defied all odds to protect him from the ground.
Walden clearly remembered that at that most dangerous moment – “Get down!”
Linley’s shout of anger and his recklessness in jumping at him, Linley used his fragile body to protect Walton’s body.
Since leaving home the year he was six years old, Walton was now twenty-two years old, with one month to go before he turned twenty-three.
Nearly seventeen years.
It had been nearly seventeen years since the two brothers had seen each other.
“Young Master Wharton don’t worry too much, when Young Master Linley realizes that he’s accomplished his cultivation he’ll come to see you. After all, he does know where you live now.”
Butler Healy comforted.
Wharton nodded, then smiled to himself and said, “When big brother sees me, I wonder if he still recognizes me.”
“The six year old brat back then has become like this now. Haha …… your big brother might not really recognize you.”
Hillman laughed.
Next to him, Dinard nodded and said, “Back then, when I came over from the Holy Alliance with my father, I couldn’t recognize Young Master Walton’s at once either. It was only when I saw the butler, Grandpa Healy, that I finally realized that this big man, who was taller than me, was actually that little brat back then.”
“Nader, you guy.”
Walden glared at him.
Nader was Hillman’s son, but Nader’s warrior talent was really not good, and Nader, who was now nearly twenty-five years old, was only a rank four warrior. It was just that Nader was a very strict person, and the guarding of the entire earl’s residence was managed by him in unison with his father, Hillman.
“Ah, it’s not early.”
Walden took out a pocket watch from his pocket and glanced at it. “Grandpa Hiri, Uncle Hillman, I’ll go out first.”
“Must have gone to meet with the seventh princess.”
Nader skimmed his lips and said deliberately.
Walden smiled confidently at Nader, “That’s for sure. What, jealous?”
Saying that, Walden laughed and left the mansion in large strides.
Managing Shiri watched Wharton leave with a lot of emotions.
“Back then, Young Master Walton was just a child, and now he has grown into a man. Lord Hogg’s mandate, I have also completed it.”
Ringing Hogg, Hiri sighed.
“The Baruch family has been sleeping for so many years, and now it has finally begun to awaken. In another ten years, I’m afraid that the entire Yulan Continent will once again circulate the name of Dragon Blood Warrior Land.”
Hillman said confidently.
Carrying the battle sword ‘Slaughter’ on his back, Walden rode a saber-toothed tiger as he walked down the street. The saber-toothed tiger was a rank eight magical beast. Its aura was intimidating to other magical beasts in general, and Walden himself was especially tall. Both of them together, just by watching them alone, made other people’s hearts tremble with fear.
Other pedestrians on the street almost had to avoid getting out of the way.
“That one is O’Brien Academy’s talented cadet Wharton ah, you guys see, he’s sitting down on a level eight magical beast.”
“Saber-toothed tiger. It’s really fierce, I wish I had a magical beast like that.” ……
Many people along the street were talking, the same as when the young Linley saw a raptor and dreamed of having a raptor-like majestic magical beast. In the eyes of many teenagers now, Walden was their target.
The saber-toothed tiger was very fast, even on the street. It was also very nimble and fast.
“Arrived.”
Wharton saw that luxurious hotel from a long distance, this was the location where he met with the Seven Princesses on their date, the welcoming waiter of that hotel also recognized Wharton and immediately opened the door to let Wharton in.
Walden brought the saber-toothed tiger and directly entered the hotel.
Walton looked around and saw the person he had in mind, and immediately shouted happily, “Nina.”
But just at this time, Walton’s brows suddenly furrowed. Because he saw that one person who annoyed him again.
“Walden.”
Nina had dazzling long blonde hair, and that fair face was so moving. Those brilliantly glowing eyes didn’t even contain a trace of impurities.
Nina ran towards Walton in surprise at this moment. Wharton immediately greeted him and directly took Nina’s small hand.
“That guy is pestering again.”
Nina muttered beside Walden.
Wharton glanced at the man in the distance. In a low voice, he said, “Nina, ignore that guy.”
And at this time that handsome and heroic young man walked over and smiled faintly, “Wharton, what a surprise to see you here. How come you always show up where Nina is?”
“Shut up, Ranma.”
Wharton frowned, “Remember, Nina isn’t what you call it, and …… the sentence you asked me, I should be asking you, how come you always pop up where Nina is?”
Langmore glanced at Walden with a smirk.
Although he didn’t mind it at all on the surface, but at the bottom of his heart, Langmore still hated this Walton in front of him. It was Walden who stole his Nina.
“Oh, saber-toothed tiger.”
Langmore looked at Walton’s saber-toothed tiger and laughed, “Walton, is there any interest in letting my ground turquoise-eyed tiger mastiff compare with your saber-toothed tiger? I bet that my blue-eyed tiger mastiff will definitely win.”
The blue-eyed tiger mastiff and the saber-toothed tiger are both eighth level magical beasts.
However, there is also up and down in the eighth level magical beasts, such as the blue-eyed tiger mastiff, golden-eyed lion mastiff belongs to the eighth level magical beasts in the most outstanding category. Especially the turquoise-eyed tiger mastiff for tiger-type magical beasts, just restrained.
“Not interested.”
Walton simply ignored it and glanced coldly at Ranma, “Ranma, if you really want to compete, I don’t mind fighting with you. As for using magical beasts to fight, humph.”
“A real person’s match?”
Lan Mo smiled and didn’t say anything more.
He, Lan Mo, was a registered disciple of the Martial Spirit Sect and a rank nine warrior. Indeed, he had the right to be proud of himself. However, nowadays, some of the old families in the entire imperial capital almost all know that Walton is from the Baruch family, and the Baruch family is a dragon blood warrior family. Walton himself could even use fighting qi.
The children of the Dragon Blood Warrior family who can use fighting qi can transform into Dragon Blood Warriors.
Lan Mo is clear, although in front of the Walton is only the eighth level warrior, but that special sword attack, even with the general ninth level warrior to kill. Once Walden transformed, he, Ranma, was no match at all.
“Let’s go.”
Lan Mo stroked the blue-eyed tiger mastiff and said with a light smile.
With that, Lan Mo took his own magical beast and left just like that.
Nina and Walden directly went up to an elegant room on the second floor of the hotel, as for Nina’s maid, she was waiting outside.
“Big man, that Ranma is very troublesome, what should we do?”
Nina snuggled into Walden’s arms and inquired in a low voice.
Big man, was Nina’s name when she first met with Wharton, and when the two of them were alone together, Nina called him that.
“Who made you so attractive Nina?”
Wharton smiled and gave Nina’s nose a squeeze, “I actually don’t care too much about this Ranma, what I’m most worried about is Kellan.”
“Brother Kellan?”
Nina echoed helplessly, “I just think of him as a brother, it’s just that he, ugh.”
Kellan was now twenty-three years old and was already a rank seven magician.
There were many twenty-three year old rank seven warriors, but twenty-three year old rank seven magicians were very few, and Kellan was only twenty-one when he reached rank seven magician.
If Linley hadn’t sculpted the ‘Dream Awakening’, I’m afraid he wouldn’t have reached rank seven until he was around twenty.
In the imperial capital, Kellan was also considered a genius magician. He had grown up as a childhood friend of Nina’s, and most importantly, Kellan’s father was the high-powered left minister of the entire empire, and Kellan was a very good person, a near-perfect one.
