Episode 8: Walking a Thousand Miles Chapter 26: Honestly Seeing Each Other

There were no stars or moon in the night sky today.

Linley, the undead archmagic guide ‘Sessler’, the black-striped cloud panther ‘Blackru’, and Bebe traveled through the middle of the dark alleys, Linley meanwhile reverting to his human form.

“Snort…”

Linley’s tattered pants were directly burned to ashes by the flames, while a new pair of pants appeared with a flip of Linley’s hand as well as a short, black, close-fitting shirt, which lightning-fast Linley pulled on.

“Hehe, this kid called Linley is even more unusual than I thought na.”

Sessler’s greenish eyes stared at Linley, how could Sessler not see from that scene just now that Linley possessed a spatial ring.

This spatial ring, he, Sessler, also had it.

It was more than four hundred years ago, when he had been carrying out ‘undead enslavement’ in the middle of the Demonic Beast Mountains, he had caused a white-boned corpse that had been dead for an unknown length of time to tear through the earth and run out, and there was a spatial ring on the corpse’s finger.

Sessler was pleasantly surprised.

Based on his examination of the surroundings, he guessed that the owner of this corpse was probably killed by a magical beast thousands of years ago, and eventually fell into a deep valley with serious injuries and died. It was just that thousands of years later, this terrain had changed and the canyon had completely closed up.

It was fine for him, an 800 year old Undead Magician, to have a spatial ring. But the young man in front of him was obviously not very old, where did he get his spatial ring?

“Hurry up.”

Linley said in a low voice as soon as he had gotten dressed.

“Linley, I’m getting more and more curious about you.”

Sessler’s smile was that eerie.

Linley skimmed his head at him, “Sessler, remember. In the future, you are not allowed to call me by my real name without my permission. You only need to address me as ‘Lei’.”

Sessler lifted an eyebrow, “I understand, you’re worried about revealing your identity.”

In fact, Linley’s name was somewhat famous in other empires as well, it was just that this fame was amongst the stone carvings***, and those who preferred stone carvings knew Linley very well. For such a sixteen year old to carve works that were comparable to the caliber of a stone carving master, how could stone carving enthusiasts not admire him?

Unfortunately, Sessler, the old codger, had little love for stone carving.

The road traveled fast and furious.

“Where are we?”

Sessler maintained his high speed while asking Linley in a low voice.

“Outside the city.”

Linley said calmly.

“But you’re not heading towards the city gates?”

Sessler inquired in confusion.

“Do you have to walk out of the city through the gates?”

Linley glanced bashfully at Sessler. Sessler instantly understood what Linley was thinking.

“But it’s not even ten o’clock at night yet, the city gates aren’t closed, we can absolutely go out through the gates.”

Sessler immediately said.

“I’m not sure about the power of the Illuminati in Chilcounty City, maybe there are people from the Illuminati right there at the city gates, if you go that …… it’s likely that you’ll be recognized by them. You have to know, today you stayed in that courtyard, in addition to those six experts from the Illuminati headquarters ground, there are other people who have seen you.”

Linley said indifferently.

Sessler nodded.

He had been escorted there. There was indeed a group of people in that courtyard, and that group of people was clearly the Illuminati’s men stationed in Chill County City. Originally, there were attendants and whatnot to serve Lampson and the others.

And Lampson was very careful, worrying that there would be enemy people mixing in, and had all the attendants leave. ……

The two of them, Linley and Sessler, quickly ran up to the high city wall, which was more than twenty meters high and completely left Sessler speechless.

“I can’t get through.”

Sessler said dryly.

He was an Undead Archmagician, and his body was equivalent to that of a third level warrior. But it would be impossible to jump a city wall that was more than twenty meters high.

“Blackru.”

Linley looked to the black-striped clouded leopard next to him.

“Roar,” the handsome two-meter-tall, four-meter-long black panther ‘Blackru’ stared at the undead archdemon guide ‘Sessler’ with a pair of ghostly cold eyes.

“Get on Blackru’s back.”

Linley commanded.

Sessler no longer hesitated and directly rolled over onto Blackru’s back. While Bebe, who was standing on Blackru’s back, gave Sessler a provocative look. Sessler, on the other hand, did not dare to fight with these two magical beasts.

He saw the battle scene just now, with his eyesight. With his eyesight, this black panther and that black shadow mouse were definitely rank nine magical beasts. He, an Undead Grand Magician who didn’t summon undead, wouldn’t dare to mess with a rank nine magical beast.

“Go.”

Linley stomped his feet. The entire person flew straight up into the air like an arrow off a string, leaping thirty meters in a single bound, easily leaping over the city wall before landing outside of it.

“Whoosh.”

With a push of his four hooves, Black Lu turned into a black phantom and quickly crossed the twenty meters of the city wall.

Outside the city on the overgrown grass.

“Whew, this leopard is really fast.”

Sessler exclaimed as he covered his chest. Saying don’t want to come down.

“Don’t come down.”

Linley immediately said, “Heilu, let’s hurry back.”

Linley directly enchanted himself with ‘Extreme Speed’ auxiliary magic. Only to see Linley quickly hurrying towards the direction of the valley like a gust of wind, while Heilu was always following beside Linley.

In a matter of minutes, Sessler arrived in that valley with Linley.

“From today onwards, you’ll be living here. If you want to go out, it’s best to change your appearance slightly.”

Linley said blandly, and Sessler nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the surrounding scenery, “I like secluded environments the most, and this place is perfect for me to cultivate.”

That night, Linley built a new wooden house for Sessler.

And late at night when Linley was meditating on his knees on the grass, he realized that there was a strong aura of necromancy coming from Sessler’s wooden house, no wonder Sessler liked secluded places, in a crowded place, Sessler wouldn’t dare to cultivate with such abandon.

“Necromancy.”

Linley recalled the introduction to necromancy in the book, and could hardly hold back the fear in his heart.

This undead magician was generally more terrifying the older they got and the stronger their spiritual power became. Because with enough time, they could take in a large number of undead creatures.

“This time in that courtyard, all this Sessler summoned were rank nine undead, I’m afraid that he still has a sea of low and medium level undead.”

Linley had heard of it. An Undead Grand Magus was completely equivalent to a terrifying army.

An Undead Grand Magician could directly summon hundreds of thousands of massive undead to fight.

When, on the battlefield, one only needed to kill those on the other side. The Undead Magician also Spirit Enslaves’, controlling the corpses of the other party’s dead warriors. Make the other party’s corpses listen to his orders and fight with the other party.

The more the Undead Magician’s men and women, the more they fought.

Of course, the prerequisite was that the necromancer was having enough spiritual power.

“Moreover, I heard that undead magicians, not only have undead summoning. Undead Enslavement, there are also some strange and sinister undead magic.”

The most famous thing about necromancers was the ‘plague’.

There had indeed been huge plagues in history where tens of millions of people had died or been injured because of a single undead magician. This was also the reason why Linley suspected that Holmer was an undead magician when he first discovered that Holmer used poisonous mist.

Early in the morning, the sky dawned.

The Undead Grand Magician ‘Sessler’ withdrew the spiritual energy that had attached itself to his undead in the ‘Undead Realm’ and opened his eyes, a small smile on his face, “Yesterday was truly my lucky day. ”

“Not only did I regain my freedom, but I also took in a Black Knight Captain in the Undead Realm. Although I lost a golden-haired zombie. But it was worth it.”

Sessler was very happy.

Golden-haired zombie. Although it was also considered a ninth level undead.

But compared to that Black Knight Captain, it was much weaker. That Black Knight Captain’s strength was similar to that of a Corpse Dragon. He was considered to be at the peak of the ninth level.

Nowadays, under Sessler’s command, there were undead creatures at the peak of level nine – a Corpse Dragon, an Old Corpse Demon and a Black Knight Captain. It also had two golden skeleton archers as well as two golden-haired zombies.

Three peak level nine and four normal level nine undead.

This was the strongest force under Sessler’s command, while the number of rank eight undead and rank seven undead was even higher. After all, in the Undead Realm, a high level undead could enslave a large number of low level undead.

For example, the two golden skeleton archers. They were controlling an army of more than half a million skeletons.

The Black Knight Captain also had some 8th level Black Knights under his command.

An Undead Archmage, especially one that was over eight hundred years old. It was definitely equivalent to a terrifying army. This was not a lie at all.

“Eh?”

Walking out of the wooden hut, Sessler’s eyes instantly glazed over.

Because at this time, Linley was closing his eyes and quietly stepping onto the surface of that turquoise water lake, his entire person as if he were a feather, surprisingly not sinking a bit.

“This is?”

Sessler was extremely shocked in his heart.

Sessler knew very well that Linley wasn’t a Saint realm powerhouse. After transforming, he was only at the peak of level nine, and he was afraid that his normal human form was even weaker. Yet Linley was now standing there as if he weighed nothing.

“Mr. Sessler.”

Linley suddenly opened his eyes, a rare smile on his face. At the same time, he then walked on the surface of the lake as if he were walking on flat ground, walking directly to the shore.

“We’re sort of joining forces, and I want to know something about the Illuminati.”

Linley said straight away.

Sessler smiled and nodded, “I’ll tell you even if you don’t ask. By the way, before that, shouldn’t we be honest. I don’t know much about you.”

“Lin Lei, full name Lin Lei Baruch, under two ……, no one should be my opponent.”

Linley said indifferently, but his words were extremely confident.

A peak ninth level Dragon Blood Warrior could already be considered invincible under the Holy Realm, plus having reached the peak of the ‘potential’ ground on the Black Yul Heavy Sword. The most important thing is that …… Linley is still an eighth level dual system magician. Magic enchantment, that strength boost was terrifying.

“Dragonblood warrior, no wonder.”

It was only then that Sessler realized that Linley wasn’t some kind of dragonman, and suddenly Sessler glared, “What did you say? You’re twenty-one years old?”

“What?”

Linley looked at Sessler.

Linley knew very well that the Undead Archmage was definitely a very arrogant character, if he couldn’t be completely subdued, then I’m afraid that there would be a lot of trouble in cooperating in the future.

“How is that possible?”

Sessler was a little surprised before he laughed, “Haha, unlike you, an Undead Magus is one who has an advantage the older he gets. This year, I am eight hundred and sixty-six years old.”

Sessler proudly stated his age.

“Linley, I don’t really believe you when you say you’re invincible under the Holy Realm.”

Sessler said blandly, “My undead army adds up to nearly a million, and there are even three peak level nine undead.”

At this time, both of them had to strongly press the other, which was actually telling the other their strength before cooperating. That way they could cooperate better with each other.

“Sessler.”

Linley gave him a cold look, “I admit that if I were to fight your army of undead, I wouldn’t be able to. However, I also have two peak level nine magical beasts. I forgot to tell you …… that I’m not only a Dragon Blood Warrior, but also a Level 8 Dual System Magical Instructor, so your sea of men tactics are useless against me.”

Sessler was completely stunned.

At twenty-one years old, because of the Dragon Blood Warrior family bloodline, transforming to reach the peak of level nine was still acceptable.

But at twenty-one years old, a rank eight dual system Grand Magician, this was too terrifying.

After all, a magician’s most difficult to cultivate spiritual power, that was not to be coquettish in the slightest. To have such terrifying spiritual power at the age of twenty-one. Sessler couldn’t even imagine it.

“A rank eight dual system magician, twenty-one years old?”

Sessler murmured, “Is this the number one magical genius in history?”

Linley was seventeen years old and had reached rank seven magician. This was the second genius in history.

But at twenty-one years old, a rank eight dual system magus was the first in history.

“I was like over four hundred years old when I reached rank eight Undead Magus.”

Sessler was completely speechless when he thought about his age again.
