The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 180's

Under the light of the bonfire, everyone's faces were half-lit, half-shaded. The stench of blood still filled the area, but now, the people on both sides of the battle were just staring in shock at the corpses that had turned into piles of flesh and blood, then at Linley and the adamantine heavy sword he carried.

A warrior of the eighth rank had been killed in one sword attack …

This…

It's unbelievable!

"Brother, let's kill these bandits!" Big Beard Malone was the first to react, and he immediately shouted in excitement. "Kill this and avenge our slain comrade!"

Hearing this roar by Big Beard Malone, all the bandits woke up as well. Their leader, the One-Eyed Viper, McKinley, was killed in a single blow. Even if the mercenaries were not there, Linley himself could waste everything with that heavy sword.

"Reflation! Retaliation! Kill it! ”The eyes of the mercenaries lit up when they were suddenly filled with confidence. One after another charged forward, weapons ready.

"Run, hurry!"

The bandits shouted loudly, as they all started to flee, forgetting about the others. The archers from the mercenary company immediately started knocking on their bows. Staring coldly at the fleeing bandits' backs, one sharp arrow shot out after another. “Desir. "Desir. ”Six bandits hit by arrows and fell to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the remaining seventy bandits disappeared into the darkness.

The mercenary company did not engage in the chase for too long, chasing them for only around a hundred meters before returning. After all, their main responsibility was to protect the caravan.

“Wah ”

Many merchants and travelers in the caravan all heaved a sigh of relief. But at this moment, the faces of the mercenaries were ugly enough to look at, as they began to gather the corpses of ten or so comrades who had died.

“Everything, you can go back to your rest. "Malone said loudly.

Several mercenaries had been injured as well, and had to rest and be treated. The hundreds of people in the caravan began to calm down, each returning to their respective places. As long-time travelers, they often experience such events, and would not be too surprised or worried right now.

… .

Bonfires after another were lit, and ten or more corpses of mercenaries were buried in the desolate ground by the side of the road. The mercenaries living on the tip of their swords could die at any moment. And once they died, their bodies would all be buried thus, with the other mercenaries at most carrying some of their mementos back home for them.

Leaning against a large tree by the roadside with an adamantine heavy sword on his back, Linley was secretly watching others.

"Mr Ley. "Many caravan merchants ran over, expressing their gratitude towards Linley. Many of them even wanted to give Linley gold coins as gifts, but Linley respectfully rejected them all.

"Brother, what a great trip for you!" Malone roared loudly.

All the mercenaries present were standing in front of the grave. At the same time, they bowed deeply to the grave. In the lives of these mercenaries, death was a common occurrence. After paying their respects, they all returned to their normal positions.

The captain of this mercenary company, Big Beard Malone, headed towards Linley with Luther and Lowndes beside him. Grateful, he said, “Master Ley, thank you. If not for you, our mercenary company .. "Malone fell silent, shaking his head.

"Ley, thank you so much for saving our mercenary company. "Luther said thankfully.

Linley's initial warning to them as well as his help were ultimately equally valuable in saving the mercenary company.

"Not needed . "Said Linley while laughing calmly.

"Lord Ley, this is ten thousand gold coins. "Malone took out a magicrystal card from her pocket. “This magicrystal card is an unbound card, and has ten thousand gold coins in it. Mr. Ley, you have to accept it. If it wasn't for you, not only would our mercenary company have failed our mission, it was likely that we would all die as well. ”

Linley shook his head while laughing.

"Ley, please accept," urged Lowndes immediately. Mercenaries are usually quite generous. These people who spend their lives living at the edge of their swordtails generally appreciate the code of courage, brotherhood, and friendship.

"Do I look like someone who needs money for you?" Linley looked at the three of them.

In the interspatial ring, Linley had twenty-two magicrystal cards, each with 100 million gold coins. 2. 2 billion gold coins! Even the Dawson Conglomerate would not be easily persuaded to expend such a huge fortune at once.

Some clans in the Four Great Kingdoms were extremely powerful and extremely wealthy, but no matter how powerful they were, they could not compare to the wealth of the royal clans.

After all, the extremely large and powerful clans in the Four Great Kingdoms would still have to pay a huge amount of taxes each year to the Emperor.

In comparison, the ruler of the Fenlai Kingdom, compared to those major clans, had greater power in his own territory. The wealth that has been built up over thousands of years is a frightening amount.

After hearing Linley's words, Malone was surprised, but then did not suppress him. He did not dare to continue fighting with a strong warrior like Linley. And in addition, it was really not easy for his mercenary company to make a living as well.

"Captain Malone, take care of your mercenaries. I saw that some of them suffered serious injuries. "Say Linley.

"Then Mr. Ley, I left you for your rest. I'm going to leave now. "Malone said respectfully. Strong fighters are treated with respect wherever they are.

The bonfire is burning. Many people in the caravan could not fall asleep. Many of them bowed over the campfire. Aside from the minority who managed to fall asleep, most talked about what had just happened. Many times, the gaze would sneak towards Linley. Clearly, their topic of conversation was Linley.

Right now, Linley was sitting cross-legged, aligning himself to the vast, boundless earth, as well as the wind that stretched across the sky.

After spending three years of training in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, Linley had learned quite a bit about the proper way of training. Both the warrior and the magi, in the end, must learn how to understand and become accustomed to nature.

For example, now, both Linley and McKinley were warriors of the eighth rank.

The difference between the two of them was too great. To him being killed in one blow was not strange at all.

"If I don't train in the Beast Swamp Mountains and forget about everything other than training for three years, no matter how long I stay in Hess City, I might not be able to rise to another level of understanding. "Linley pondered to herself.

Many people in the caravan were discussing Linley, but Linley did not notice them as he quietly meditated.

"Ley, Lord Ley?" A nervous voice sounded next to Linley.

Hearing this voice, Linley turned around. It was the young nobleman, who stood as straight as ramrod. Keane's. A slight smile appeared on Linley's face. "Keane. Right? What'sthat?"

Hearing Linley call out to him by his name, Keane felt extremely proud. He said slowly, “Master Ley, I have a request. ”

"Sit down, then talk. ”

Linley's attitude made Keane relax just a little, and he sat down next to Linley. His eyes were filled with worship, he said to Linley, "Master Ley, back then, my sword punch was so powerful. I have been bullied since I was a child. I want to be a strong soldier too. Can you teach me?"

Linley.

Warrior training is not just a few days. It requires years of accumulated hard work, as well as good natural talent. It also requires a good instructor. Only when all three criteria are met can a strong fighter be produced.

“It was a bit difficult, and I didn't have enough time to train you. "Linley laughs.

Keane hurriedly nodded, waving his hands in panic. "No, Lord Ley, I don't have to learn too much. I don't need to be too strong. I just want to learn the sword attack you used earlier. Just that one sword attack. "When he spoke, Keane even made an actual sword blow.

"Just one sword attack?" Linley did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Although his sword attack seemed easy, it required over ten years of hard training as well as changes to his mind and soul. Only then could he understand this 'force' level. Even most warriors of the ninth rank were unable to comprehend the 'force' level, let alone those who were at the eighth rank.

According to the records of the Baruch clan, the ancestor who used a large war tool, after reaching the Saint level, was still only able to reach the level of 'holding something heavy as if it was light'. Only after being at Saint level for more than ten years did the ancestors begin to understand how to 'force'.

The Magi found it naturally easier than the warriors to fuse with nature.

For a pure warrior to truly understand and understand 'force' was much more difficult than a dual-class fighter like Linley, who was both a magus and a warrior.

"Is this so .... so loud? I am not afraid . "Keane said.

"Keane. "A soft voice called out, and Jenne rushed over, dressed in light blue and holding some clothes in her hands. He said towards Keane with concern, “Nights are getting colder. Bundle. ”

Keane pouted, shaking his head. "No . ”

Jenne could not help but frown, but there was nothing she could do.

Keane continued, “Kak, look, Mr. Ley is just wearing a thin shirt. I've worn a lot, and you want me to wear more? ”

Linley could not help but laugh unexpectedly. Keane is really comparing himself to him? Even in the most frosty of winters, Linley would not feel cold, much less now.

"Keane, bundle. "Say Linley.

Linley's words seemed to have more of an effect than Jenne's. "Oh. ”Keane received the outfit from Jenne, then wore it. Jenne thanked Linley. "Thank you, Mr. Ley. ”

Linley smiled and nodded.

As Jenne and Linley exchanged glances, Jenne immediately flushed a little.

But Linley, by accident, noticed Jenne's hand. When he saw them, he was quite surprised. From what Linley could tell, Jenne was without question a noblewoman, but Jenne's hands looked a bit rough.

"Keane, don't bother Lord Ley for too long. Lord Ley needs a break too. "Jenne smiled apologetically towards Linley, and then he returned to his own carriage, his face still slightly red.

Linley looked at Keane.

"Keane, does your sister often do homework at home?" Linley was very curious. Most noble ladies have very soft and gentle hands. In terms of both cushioning and clothing, Jenne was obviously a noblewoman, but her hands were …

Keane nodded. "really. Mr. Ley, you may not know from the way I dress, but I feel very awkward with this outfit. It's been a long time since I've officially dressed this. "Keane pulled his collar. “Actually, my sister and I live in an ordinary mountain village. Only Grandpa Lambert was there to take care of us. Brother usually has to do most of our family duties. ”

"Oh?" Linley began to grow curious. “But your sister's attitude doesn't seem like an ordinary country girl. ”

Keane nodded. "Of course . Our father was a prefectural-level city governor and had a very high social status. When we were young, we lived in the governor's house. But when I was six, my mother, my sister, and myself were forced out by our aunt. So, my mother took my sister and I back to her house. My sister, when she was young, received all the education that a young noblewoman should have, and when we left our father's house, she was already ten years old. So he naturally continued to maintain the ingrained customs of the nobility within him. But I was young, and my mother was never in good health. Grandpa Lambert couldn't take care of the two of us alone, so big brother often had to do homework. Brother can do anything! ”

"I remember in the heart of winter, my brother's hands began to part from the cold, but he still cooked for me. I wanted to help, but he didn't let me. Keane bit her lips, her eyes began to turn red. “This time, when I take over the position of city governor, I will definitely not let the older sister do the job again. I'll let a large number of servants take care of big brother. ”

Hearing this story, Linley could not help but admire this Jenne, who outwardly looked extremely fragile and extremely shy.

“You will take over the position of city governor? Didn't your aunt throw you out? "Ask Linley.

Keane's not hiding anything. “At first, my aunt used every method available to her to get us to leave, so as to guarantee that her son would be the next governor of the city. Unfortunately ... that his trashy son did nothing but drink and play around. As soon as my father died, the piece of trash was delighted that there was nothing to fear now, and it was getting worse. From what I heard, not long ago, she died in the arms of a woman. After he died, naturally the position of city governor fell into my hands. ”

Keane looked at Linley happily. "Lord Ley, please teach me. Once I become the governor of the city, I will definitely give you a very, very high position! "
