Episode 8: A Million Miles to Walk Chapter 9: Olivia
On this twisting and turning avenue that could not be seen at a glance, this convoy of hundreds of people was not traveling very fast, and those mercenary guards in the entire convoy were careful to look at the direction of the Magical Beast Mountain Range from time to time.
There were two major dangers in traveling this road, the first being the magical beasts in the Magic Beast Mountain Range, and the second being the bandits. Because this section of road that was hundreds of miles long was neither under the jurisdiction of the Holy Alliance nor under the control of the O’Brien Empire. Naturally, there would be quite a few bandits.
“Rattling, rattling,” this flatbed carriage made a rhythmic sound as Linley sipped this coarse wine with self-congratulation.
“After three years of not drinking, this coarse wine tastes even more flavorful than the exquisite wines of Aqua Paradise.”
Linley smiled and sighed in his heart, while beside him, Bei Bei was savoring the roasted meat.
The two mercenaries who shared the same flatbed carriage as Linley, the older of the hans said, “Brother, my name is Lanz, and this is my little brother, called Luther.”
Linley was slightly stunned, Linley understood that the other party was wanting to know the name. But Linley knew that he was listed on the Red List of the Illuminati Inquisition, and that he belonged on the mandatory kill list.
“You may call me ‘Lei’.”
Linley said with a smile.
“Brother Lei, what level magical beast is this leopard of yours.”
The young lad called Luther immediately inquired enthusiastically, “This magical beast’s fur is really smooth, riding a magical beast like this would be a real honor, I’d say that this magical beast, at the very least, is a rank seven magical beast.”
“All you need to know is that it’s a high-level magical beast.”
Linley said casually.
And all the while casually running alongside the black-striped cloud panther ‘Heilu”s ghostly cold gaze was also fixed on Luther, who was so frightened by Heilu’s gaze that his heart trembled, and he couldn’t help but smile awkwardly.
Everyone in the Yulan Continent knew that the intelligence of magical beasts was no less than that of humans, and that they should never be treated like domesticated animals. Otherwise, the consequences could be disastrous.
“Are the two of you from the Holy Alliance, or the O’Brien Empire?”
Linley inquired.
With regards to the O’Brien Empire, Linley knew extremely little.
“We’re both from the O’Brien Empire.”
Ronz said smilingly. “Brother Lei, what about you?”
“This is my first time going to the O’Brien Empire, I had heard that this O’Brien Empire was extremely martial, but I hadn’t really seen it.”
Linley said calmly.
Whether it was Lanz or Luther, they were both living on the edge of a sword. Their eyesight could both be spot on, and they could tell at a glance that Linley was that kind of strong character. After all, to subdue a powerful magical beast, it was necessary to completely defeat him in terms of strength in order to make him submit.
“Brother Lei. We in the O’Brien Empire are extremely respectful of strong people. Wherever a strong person like you goes, he will be treated with courtesy.”
Lanz said smilingly, “Brother Lei, this is your first time going to the empire, are you familiar with the empire?”
“Other than knowing that the empire is divided into seven provinces and knowing about the Martial God, I’m not sure about the rest.”
Linley laughed.
The O’Brien Empire was the most powerful military power in the entire Yulan Continent, and its territorial scope should also be one of the largest of the six major powers. Any of those seven provinces would be quite a bit larger than a kingdom.
“Brother Lei, let me tell you. Our empire, ah, the imperial capital has the most experts in it. It’s even ninth level powerhouses that don’t dare to run rampant in the imperial capital. After all, the Martial God Sect is situated on a high mountain on the outskirts of the imperial capital.”
Lanz said enthusiastically.
“Martial God Sect?”
Linley was unclear about this, however.
Luther, who was next to him, hurriedly said, “Brother Lei, this is something you must know, our O’Brien Empire’s highest cultivation sanctuary is the ‘Martial God Sect’. The Martial God generally only accepts one personal disciple in a hundred years, or even hundreds of years. The number of his personal disciples is extremely rare. However, those who are able to be accepted as personal disciples by the Martial God can become Saint realm powerhouses nine times out of ten.”
Linley was truly shocked.
Originally, he had thought that the O’Brien Academy should be the highest-ranking academy, but now he heard that it was far inferior to this ‘Martial God Sect’.
“But it’s just too hard to get a Martial God to accept as a disciple. It’s the registered disciples, Lord Martial God only accepts one in a year or two.”
Lanz also sighed.
Only one in one or two years, and it was still only a registered disciple.
This probability was much higher than the elimination rate of the Ernst Magic Academy. But thinking about it, he understood. After all, it was worshipping the Martial God as a teacher. The Martial God …… that was an existence that surpassed the Holy Realm five thousand years ago.
“So Brother Lei, you should be careful when you encounter people from the Martial God Sect in the future. They just kill people and no one usually dares to care.”
Lanz instructed.
Linley understood in his heart.
Martial God ‘O’Brien’ was the founding emperor of the O’Brien Empire, and although he had long since abdicated, his influence was even higher than that of the imperial emperor. Martial God ‘O’Brien’ was completely the top pillar of the empire.
“Right. Do you guys know of any genius figures that have appeared in the imperial capital?”
Linley suddenly inquired. In Linley’s thoughts, “Walton, his Dragonblood Warrior bloodline concentration is even higher than mine, so his potential should be a bit stronger than mine. Right now, Walton is also seventeen years old. He should have a big reputation in O’Brien Academy as well.”
According to the Dragon Blood Warrior’s cultivation speed.
Usually a few decades of effort would reach the Holy Domain, so twenty years of hard cultivation would reach a ninth level warrior, and ten years would reach the eighth level.
With Walton’s talent, he could definitely be famous in the Imperial Capital.
“Genius? Are you talking about the genius Sword Saint ‘Olivia’?”
Ronz said.
“Genius Sword Saint ‘Olivia’?”
This name, Linley hadn’t even heard of it, “What makes this Olivia called the Genius Sword Saint?”
Beside him, Luther hurriedly said, “Brother Lei, in the empire you’d be laughed to death if you said you didn’t even know about the Genius Sword Saint. Do you know how old Lord Olivia was when she reached the Saint Domain realm?”
A Saint realm powerhouse?
“How old?”
Linley was calm in his heart. People from his own dragonblood warrior family. Generally a few decades could be enough to reach the Saint realm. And it usually took nearly a hundred years for the so-called geniuses to do so.
“Forty-seven years old!”
Luther adored, “Lord Olivia, at the age of thirty at the rank powerhouse realm, and at forty-seven, she stepped into the Holy Realm realm. That is, three years ago, the year of the Holy Alliance and Light Alliance’s ‘Day of Destruction’, Lord Olivia stepped into the Saint realm.”
Linley nodded slightly.
It seemed that that day of disaster land was known as the ‘Day of Destruction’.
“No wonder I didn’t know.”
Linley understood. While the other party’s fame was soaring, he himself had stepped into the Demonic Beast Mountain Range and practiced hard for three whole years.
That Luther obviously adored the genius Sword Saint ‘Olivia’. Lian said, ”Brother Lei, let me tell you. After Lord Olivia reached the ninth level powerhouse realm, the God of Wushu once took the initiative to want to take him as his disciple. But Lord Olivia refused. Lord Olivia wanted to follow the path of his own cultivation ground.”
In the bottom of Linley’s heart, he couldn’t help but admire this Olivia, a Martial God who had surpassed the Holy Realm had taken the initiative to accept him as his disciple, and was able to refuse. Indeed, one would have to have a great deal of self-confidence to do so.
“This is the first in history to refuse a Martial God.”
Luther adored. “Brother Lei, at first, many people thought that Olivia was making a spectacle of herself and insulting Oliviera. But …… Lord Olivia indeed didn’t brag, three years ago, after Olivia stepped into the Holy Realm realm, she directly challenged the Starry Sky Sword Saint ‘Tyrone’.”
Linley frowned.
Linley remembered very clearly that when the two great Saint realm powerhouses had fought each other in the middle of Wushan Town, one was the Starry Sky Sword Saint Tyrone, and the other was the Saint realm magician Rudy. These two names Linley absolutely could not forget.
“Right. Lord Tyrone, Starry Sword Saint Lord Tyrone has been famous for a long time, and has stepped into the Saint realm for nearly a hundred years. When Olivia stepped into the Saint realm, she directly challenged Tyrone, and many people thought that Olivia was too arrogant. But the day of the duel ……”
Luther’s eyes were filled with admiration, “With just three swords, the Starry Sky Sword Saint ‘Tyrone’ was defeated. Defeating the Starry Sky Sword Saint ‘Tyrone’ when he first entered the Holy Realm. This shocked everyone and was only recognized because of Olivia’s strength, her name of genius.”
Linley was also impressed.
In the past, he had often talked to Grandpa Delin about some of the strongest people in the world, and Linley was well aware of …… first entering the Holy Realm. The difference between a mid Saint realm, and a peak Saint realm powerhouse, was great.
That Tyrone had already stepped into the Saint realm for a hundred years, yet he had been defeated by the first-time Saint realm ‘Olivia’ with just three swords. Linley had to admit that Olivia was too strong. Especially since the other party was only forty-seven years old at the time.
To reach the Saint realm at the age of forty-seven and still be this strong.
It was the Ultimate Warrior, and it wouldn’t be much better than that.
Chatting with these mercenaries who traveled the world all day long. Linley knew a lot about the O’Brien Empire, and had a plan in mind.
When it was dark, the caravan once again stopped to prepare for the night.
A bonfire was lit, all sorts of game meat was taken out, and Linley was also with Luther and Lanz around a bonfire on which thigh meat was being roasted.
Linley suddenly turned his head towards the direction of the black-striped clouded leopard, only to see that a noble teenager dressed in straight gentleman’s clothing was standing next to the black-striped clouded leopard, looking excitedly at ‘Blackru’.
“What a beautiful leopard.”
This noble teenager’s bright eyes stared at the Black Striped Cloud Leopard, even as he slowly stretched out his hand and touched it towards Heilu.
Blackru was a peak level 9 magical beast. It was very high and proud. How would it let an ordinary human touch it?
Black Rou turned his head violently, those cold eyes staring at that noble teenager, dissatisfied with a demonstrative low roar, “Roar,” “Ah.”
That noble teenager was so scared that he fell backward and directly dropped to the ground, his face white with fear.
“Haha.”
Lanz, Luther, and Linley all laughed.
At this time, the door curtain of a carriage not far away lifted, and a woman in a lavender aristocratic dress immediately jumped off the carriage in panic: “Keane, Keane, what’s wrong with you?”
Seeing this woman, Linley couldn’t help but have his eyes light up as well.
The dress was girded rather tightly at the waist. Showing off that small waist that could be held in a single grip, and that tightly girded waist accentuated the bulging of the chest more and more. Running, long hair fluttered.
That marvelous figure was in the top three of all the women Linley had ever seen. Looking at her appearance she should only be seventeen or eighteen years old.
“Sister, sister.”
That aristocratic teenager hugged the woman in some panic.
The black-striped cloud panther ‘Heilu’ at this time also gave a low roar of dissatisfaction towards the noble teenager, which scared the noblewoman’s face white.
“Don’t be afraid, Blackru won’t hurt you.”
Linley said with a smile.
“Haha, Ms. Jenny, you have to take care of your brother, this mighty ground demonic beast is not your family’s pet, pissed off it might eat him in one bite, haha ……”
Lanz laughingly said.
These words heard this Miss Jenny and that noble boy face are white.
That Jenny pulled the noble teenager to stand up, and then Jenny was a bit formal and immediately bent down to apologize: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
“No need to say sorry to us, this magical beast is Brother Lei’s. Just talk to Brother Lei.”
Luther also chimed in and said.
Jenny looked up at Linley, it was obvious that this Jenny was not good at personal conversation, just glancing at Linley surprisingly her face grew redder, “Lord Lei, I’m sorry.”
“It’s fine, just have your brother not mess with Heilu in the future.”
Linley said with a smile. It had been a long time since I had seen a girl who was so easily and easily shy.
Jenny immediately pulled the noble teenager towards the carriage not far from the ground and trotted over.
“Funny, funny.”
Linley laughed as he raised his wine bag and took a sip of wine.
