Episode 8: Walking a Thousand Leagues Chapter 59: Brothers Meet

Several days had passed since Brummer had been knighted.

“My lord.”

The guard at the entrance of the earl’s mansion respectfully said.

Walden acted as if he didn’t see the guard, not even looking at the guard, and directly stepped into the Earl’s Mansion alone. The two guards looked at each other.

“Lord Earl is in a bad state these days, just now he was soulful again.”

“En, in the past, every time he smiled at us, even to the point of greeting us. It seems as if that Brummer’s courtship on the great hall had a great impact on the earl.”

The matter of Brummer’s marriage proposal on the Martial Hall had already spread throughout the entire Imperial Capital.

Most of the people in the imperial capital knew about Wharton, the seventh princess Nina, and Brummer, and people’s discussions could be heard everywhere on the streets and in the taverns and restaurants.

“Wharton, what happened to you?”

A voice rang out.

Wharton looked up, it was Hillman’s son Nader. Wharton shook his head and sighed, Nader understood something in his mind, “Is it because the seventh princess didn’t arrive?”

“En.”

Walden nodded.

Walton and the seven princesses often dating, dating time and place are more regular, but since that time on the martial arts hall, except for the martial arts hall that the next day of the courtship, Nina met with him, the other three days, he did not meet Nina.

Not being able to meet her face to face, Wharton naturally had a hard time.

Nade also fought for Wharton and grunted, “What kind of disease did that Brummer commit, that he directly begged for the seventh princess to marry him. It’s really sick.”

“It’s useless to say more now.”

Walden shook his head.

And at this time – “Lord Earl, Lord Earl.”

A crisp voice rang out from outside the door, Walton dropped his head to look, the one who spoke out was none other than Ruth, the personal maid of the Empire’s Seventh Princess.

“Let her come in.”

Walden immediately said.

The guards let Ruth run in. Ruth panted and rushed in front of Walton and said, “Walton, Her Highness, she is now strictly ordered by His Majesty to be inside the palace and not to leave the palace. It is me. It was only by all means that I was able to come out. This is the letter that Her Highness asked me to give to you, here. I don’t have time to be here. Going back late would be bad.”

Ruth handed this letter to Walden, who froze and took it, and before she could say anything, Ruth ran off again.

“What does Your Majesty mean by this?”

Nader’s brow furrowed, and he rose in some dismay.

Wharton is immediately opened the envelope, took out the letter and began to read up, looking at the content of the heart, Wharton’s heart is like a warm current. The heart is very warm.

Cyan colored fighting qi exploded in Walton’s palm, and the letter turned into crumbs.

“The identity of the Martial God’s closed disciple, and Olivia’s existence, it seems to have made His Majesty favor Brummer.”

Wharton was well aware of that.

If His Majesty didn’t forbid Nina to come out, Nina was the one who would often be with Wharton. Instead of being with Brummer.

This ban was clearly favoring Nina.

Angrily, he grunted. Walton could do nothing about it, he was only at the peak of the ninth level when he transformed. What waves could this amount of strength make in the imperial capital?

A few days later, outside the Imperial Capital.

There was a carriage, several steeds, and a panther that was pitch-black without a trace of color. On top of the leopard also sat a young man who was just wearing a simple robe.

“Linley, look.”

Sessler, who was riding his steed, pointed remotely at a high mountain in the distance. There were several peaks on that high mountain, “That is the world-famous Martial God Mountain. The Martial God Sect is located on the mountain.”

“Martial God Sect?”

Linley’s eyes lit up.

Legend had it that the absolute number one force amongst the Earth Empire, the sect started by the ‘Martial God’ who stood at the peak of the continent, Linley looked at that Martial God Mountain from afar and marveled.

“Martial God ……”

The Martial God ‘O’Brien’ had lived a life that was too glorious, building the massive O’Brien Empire before fighting with the High Priestess on the Yulan River. He became famous in one battle, establishing his overwhelming status alongside the High Priestess.

It’s been more than five thousand years. No one knew what realm the Martial God who had stood shoulder to shoulder with the High Priest back then had reached today. But in the O’Brien Empire. The deity that people believed in was the ‘Martial God’. From this, the status of the Martial God could be seen.

Linley’s heart was filled with great pride: ”One day. I too will stand at the pinnacle of the continent!”

Linley turned his head and stopped watching the Martial God Mountain, no matter how good the Martial God Mountain was, it was still the Martial God’s.

“Imperial Capital Red Flame City.”

Looking far to the east. Already seeing the gigantic city that could be called the number one on the continent, the vastness of Red Flame City was only comparable to the Imperial Capital of the Yulan Empire.

Red Flame City was solemn, simple, and plain.

“The imperial capital of the continent’s number one powerhouse, the gathering place of the land of experts – Redyan City.”

There was a hint of a smile at the corner of Linley’s mouth, and under the light of the sun, Linley and his group entered Red Flame City.

On this day, not many big shots paid attention to this group of people.

However, he didn’t know what monstrous waves this group of people would cause throughout the O’Brien Empire. ……

“Haha, it really deserves to be the imperial capital of the O’Brien Empire, this street is so wide.”

Buck laughed out loud, and Linley laughed as well.

Linley’s group of people were walking right in the center of the imperial capital’s main street.

Barker and the others had all dismounted their horses and carried their weapons on their bodies, the lurid long-handled giant axes. While on the road, their long-handled giant axes were placed in Linley’s earthly space ring. After all, the giant axe was too heavy for those horses to carry.

“What a strong man.”

Quite a few people in the imperial capital stepped aside, the five Barker brothers standing together was too appalling. All of them were about two meters two or so tall, with tiger backs and waists, too strong to be human. And they all carry the long-handled giant axe that glows with cold metal luster.

This long-handled giant axe, is made of steel, I’m afraid there are hundreds of pounds of nearly a thousand pounds. What’s more, looking at the color of this giant axe, obviously not an ordinary weapon. Such a heavy weapon, who dares to use it without enough strength?

There is also that head of the whole body black without a trace of color of the leopard.

The people in the Imperial Capital had never seen this kind of leopard before, and this was an ability that the Black Striped Cloud Leopard possessed after reaching the Holy Domain, which could easily change the color of its exterior fur.

“Fushi Road.”

Linley was aware of Walden’s address, and the group of people rushed directly towards East City’s Fushi Road.

“I bet Lord Brummer will be able to marry Princess Nina in the end.”

Linley, however, stopped abruptly and turned his head towards the tavern beside the street. Linley’s brows furrowed, “Nina? The Nina that Walden likes? Wasn’t it someone named Kellan who fought with Walton? How come Brummer was mentioned?”

Brummer, Linley also knew.

When Walton had participated in the Named Disciple Competition, it was Brummer who had ultimately won.

“Nonsense. I bet that Lord Walton ended up marrying Princess Nina, and Her Highness Princess Nina and Lord Walton have been together for a long time.”

“That’s not necessarily true, don’t take a look at Lord Brummer’s status, he is the Martial God’s personal disciple.” ……

“Lord?”

Buck whispered.

Linley was silent in place for a moment.

Brummer, that Olivia’s younger brother, had actually become a personal disciple of the Martial God. And it seemed like he was even trying to ask the Imperial Emperor for his hand in marriage.

Barker and the others looked at Linley.

“Go.”

Linley said.

Linley’s group of people arrived on East City’s Fushi Road, every mansion on Fushi Road was owned by nobles, and there were relatively few people on Fushi Road.

Walking down the empty Fushi Road, Linley carefully identified each mansion sign.

“It’s right in front of that one.”

Linley’s eyes lit up.

The two guards who were originally talking and gossiping suddenly saw Linley and the others approaching. Immediately, they were on guard. Especially seeing the powerful bodies of the five Barker brothers.

“Definitely caught up to Lord Earl’s height, and even stronger.”

Those two guards shuddered a little.

“Who are you people?”

One of the guards shouted with courage.

Gates was the first to say in a loud voice, “Are you the residence of Earl Walton?”

“Yes.”

The guards nodded their heads.

When Linley heard this, his heart burst with excitement, to the point where his heartbeat speeded up. How many years had it been, Wharton had left home at the age of six, and there were still a few days to go before it was exactly seventeen years.

Seventeen years ah!

Linley smiled and said, ”Go and spread the word. Just say that his big brother Linley is here.”

Hearing this, the two guards were surprised, Count Walton’s older brother? They had never heard of it.

But the two guards had eyes, the group of people in front of them were terrifying. They didn’t dare to say anything, one of the guards respectfully said, “Please wait for a moment, I’ll go inform.”

Linley took a deep breath. Calming himself down.

“Linley, is this your brother’s mansion?”

Sessler walked over and laughed, “It seems like your brother is doing well in the Imperial Capital.”

Linley couldn’t help but feel a surge of pride in his heart.

The two butlers, Healy and Hillman, were drinking wine and chatting. And the guards quickly ran over, “Lord Hiri, there’s a group of people outside, and the person at the head, says he’s Walton’s brother. Called Linley.”

“Pah!”

The wine glass on the ground in Butler Healy’s hand fell to the stone floor and shattered.

“Linley!”

Butler Healy and Hillman both stood up almost simultaneously. The two looked at each other with wide eyes. There was shock as well as surprise in their eyes.

“Go, go. You quickly go and inform Lord Earl.”

Ciri immediately instructed.

And then the two of them, Hillary and Hillman, quickly rushed towards the outside, and the guard, seeing the housekeeper Hillary so out of sorts, knew that the matter was important and immediately ran over to the practice field.

Hillary, Hillman came to the front yard in a while, came to the courtyard, the two of them instead slowed down their pace, carefully looked over.

Those five burly and terrifyingly strong hans carrying huge axes on their backs just made their hearts tremble. And next to the five men, there was an old man with white hair and skinny skin almost like a skeleton, and the eyes that were glowing with a ghostly green color even made their hearts tremble.

On the contrary, the three beautiful women next to him made people’s hearts happy.

As for the frontmost – “Linley!”

Hillman was the first to speak out, while the butler ‘Shiri’ was still carefully watching Linley, recognizing him for a moment before saying in surprise, “Young Master Linley.”

Linley, who was talking to Sessler, turned his head to look.

That familiar rosacea-nosed Grandpa Hiri from memory, and Uncle Hillman. Looking at them, Linley’s heart welled up with uncontrollable excitement.

“Grandpa Healy, Uncle Hillman.”

Linley stepped through the courtyard doors, his eyes slightly moist.

Butler Healy walked over to Linley’s side, his eyes reddening, “Grown up, grown up, young master Linley is taller than he was back then.”

Butler Healy hadn’t seen Linley in seventeen years.

When he had brought Walden away, Linley had only been ten years old that year.

“Grandpa Healy, you’re still the same as you were in the past.”

The joy in Linley’s heart couldn’t be expressed in words.

The butler, Shiri, was pleased to see Linley, “Young master Linley has grown up, only this appearance is still very much like when he was ten.”

At the age of ten, Linley was nearly one meter seven. Then and now, his appearance was naturally very close.

Suddenly sharp footsteps sounded.

Linley turned his head to look, a tall but as if he had seen the figure in his dreams appeared in front of him, that appearance also had a seven or eight point resemblance to himself, Linley had a feeling that the person in front of him should be his own brother Walton.

Only, Walden was only six years old when he left. There had been too much of a change.

Walton, however, recognized Linley in just a moment, Linley and that year’s likeness was still very close, Walton’s mouth opened, but tears flowed out, “Brother-”

Linley walked slowly towards Wharton, Linley’s gaze completely on Wharton’s body.

“Brother–”

Walton also took two steps over.

“Little Wharton, is it really you?”

Linley saw the Walton in front of him, the tiger-headed little doll from back then was now a two-meter-two youth.

“Brother, it’s me, it’s me.”

Walton had completely forgotten about Nina at this time, his heart was filled with endless excitement. The excitement at this moment was so great that he couldn’t contain it anymore.

Linley’s trembling hands held onto Walden’s shoulders, looking carefully at Walden, his face full of smiles and tears flickering in his eyes, he trembled and said, “Little Walden, grown up.”

In his memory, the little doll who often called himself ‘brother’ in a milky voice had grown up.

“Brother!”

Walton hugged Linley tightly, and with Walton, Linley felt unprecedented excitement in his heart, and the tears could no longer be held back, slipping down.
