The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 192

The fat man asked doubtfully, “Hey, according to what you two said, this someone like Wharton should have been famous a long time ago. Why hasn't anyone heard of him until now? "

The bald man nodded. “I was also suspicious of this question, so I did an investigation. This Wharton, the entire time in the O'Brien Empire, had never participated in the annual tournament, nor had he ever dueled against experts. That's why he has no fame at all. ”

“To have power but not to reveal it. "The jade-haired man and the fat man sighed in appreciation.

“Forget the past. "The bald man was very confident. “After the seventh-grade tournament at O'Brien Academy, this Wharton will be the center of attention. ”

Inside that small, secluded hotel, Linley continued to sip his wine. There was a little smile on his face.

“Wharton small two meters high? It was a little higher than me. ”

When Wharton left the town of Wushan, he was only six years old. At that time, she still had her baby teeth, and was very adorable. In the blink of an eye, eleven years had passed.

"Little carton!"

A warm feeling swelled up in Linley's heart. This is the affection and bond between siblings.

“Wharton's small Dragonblood density in his veins is even higher than mine. His natural talent as a soldier was also higher than mine. He defeated a warrior of the eighth rank at the age of seventeen? Mm …. I hope Wharton should have reached the seventh rank at least two or three years ago. ”

Linley's guess was absolutely correct.

That year, six-year-old Wharton followed Housekeeper Hiri on the long winding road to the O'Brien Empire. Given Wharton's natural abilities, it was easy for him to enter O'Brien Academy.

But Housekeeper Hiri understood that the Baruch clan still belonged to the Holy Union. Thus, all along, he had ensured that Wharton would hide his true strength and not reveal it. If Wharton shone too brightly, after graduation, O'Brien Academy would not easily allow him to return to the Holy Union.

So, according to the instructions of Housekeeper Hiri, Wharton had been hiding his strength all along. Although he had revealed little when he was a child, at that moment he was too young and thus no one noticed. As soon as he grew up and matured, he naturally understood the importance of hiding himself.

Years of hard training.

In O'Brien Academy, the top swordsman academy of the most powerful empire in the world, Wharton's rate of improvement was quite fast.

When Wharton was fourteen, Hillman, as per Linley's instructions, had arrived at O'Brien Academy.

In fact, by the time Hillman arrived at O'Brien Academy, 'Day of Resurrection' had already happened a long time ago. The imperial clan and the main noble clan of the O'Brien Empire all had their own communication system and had known about it long ago. As the elite military academy of the O'Brien Empire, O'Brien Academy naturally knew about this news as well.

When Hillman reached the empire, Wharton already knew that the Day of Resurrection had taken place.

Hillman tells Wharton about Hogg's death, as well as Linley's decision to seek revenge. Wharton was really stunned. He doesn't know what he's supposed to do.

With Hillman and Hiri by his side, and with the 'Slaughterer' warblade in his hands per bequeathed Linley, Wharton decided to take on the responsibilities of the clan. But in his heart, Wharton still cared for his older brother, Linley. Wharton had no idea what the situation was with Linley.

The distance from the Holy Union to the O'Brien Empire was simply too great. A one-way trip will take at least a year.

Fortunately, after that the Dawson Conglomerate made contact with Wharton and sent him a secret letter.

The letter was written by Yale. This clearly illustrated the enmity between Linley and Clayde, as well as the Radiant Church. It also tells Wharton that Linley is fine, but he will start long-term solo training.

After hearing this news, Wharton felt a little more at ease.

Wharton felt increasingly proud of his older brother, and that made him even more determined to work hard, so that in the future, he would stand side by side with his brother. In the past, Wharton had worked very hard, but three years after that, Wharton trained even harder. By the time he was fifteen, Wharton had reached the seventh rank as a warrior.

When he was seventeen, Wharton believed that he had reached a certain level of achievement in the use of the 'Slayers' warblade. At that moment, he decided to participate in the annual tournament. As a result of that participation, Wharton shocked the empire and became the most dazzling new star in the imperial capital. The emperor himself had bestowed the title of Count on him.

………

Sitting in the corner of the hotel, Linley was happier than a long time ago.

"Boss, Wharton? That's your little brother, right? "Bebe curled up in the chair, looking at Linley with his small, pointed black eyes.

Laughing, Linley nodded.

"That little boy can defeat a warrior of the eighth rank?" Bebe let out a surprised breath. "Boss, your sister should be able to transform into a Dragonblood Warrior, right?"

"of course. ”

Linley was very proud of his brother Wharton. “Bebe, I turned into a Dragonblood Warrior by drinking dragon blood from the Wyrm Razorback Armor and agitating Dragonblood on my veins. My sister has a higher density than Dragonblood in her veins. He could instantly become a Dragonblood Warrior. But his Dragonform is not the same as mine. ”

Linley clearly remembered how the Dragonform transformation was described in his clan records.

Once the density of Dragonblood within one's vein was high enough, once one trained according to the Secret Dragonblood Manual, one could transform into a Dragonblood Warrior. Normally, the Dragonblood Warrior's body would be covered with blue draconic scales, have a blue draconic tail, and a single draconic horn grew from the forehead.

Linley's transformation, however, was a Dragonform covered with black scales and with black spikes piercing from his forehead, spine, elbows, and knees, as well as a black tail.

"A bottle of Green Jadeite for everyone!" A familiar voice with Linley sounded in the hotel.

"This is…"

Linley seemed to have been struck by lightning. His entire body became stiff, and then he immediately said mentally to Bebe, “Bebe, come to me. Don't reveal yourself. "Linley placed Bebe onto a chair in the corner of her small booth.

The hotel is very quiet.

What's more, each table is separated by a wooden screen. Linley's body was almost entirely blocked by the wooden screen, and in order for the familiar person not to see Linley at all.

Linley turned his head to peek out just a little …

That fat figure. Eyes that turn into slits when beaming.

"That's it . ”

Linley immediately pulled his head back. “Cardinal Lampson. Why is he here in O'Brien Empire? And the people by his side were not weak either. Moreover, one of them was one of the ascetics who appeared at the highest level of the Radiant Temple that year. ”

Indeed, that ascetic was one of the people who had worked with the Heidens in setting up that magical formation. He is a strong fighter.

There were at least two fighters of the ninth rank here; Lampson and the Hermit.

Linley's heart started to tremble.

“In a place like the prefectural city of Cerre, why are so many experts from the Radiant Church present? Could it be .. could it be .. "Linley's heart was clenched. "Maybe my identity has been revealed?"

Linley knew that a large organization like the Holy Union definitely had intelligence networks in various other kingdoms and empires. But could it be that their intelligence network had actually broken through so deeply even a place like the prefectural city of Cerre?

"Boss, what's going on?" Bebe was still confused. After being ordered by Linley to a corner, he had no idea what was going on.

Linley looked at Bebe, a slight smile on his lips. “Bebe, the experts from the Radiant Church have arrived. There should be some fighters of the ninth rank. ”

"Radiant Church?" A murderous expression flashed in Bebe's eyes.

"If they're planning on cracking down on me, I'll make sure no one leaves Cerre alive. "Linley's heart was filled with killing intent as well. Linley's current strength level was much greater than what he had in the past.

When Dragonformed, his strength was that of a warrior of the ninth level of the peak stage. And what's more, with regards to the use of his adamantine heavy sword, Linley had also reached the peak of the 'force' level, and had just begun to vaguely feel his way to a higher level of achievement.

Linley listened carefully.

The people from the Radiant Church had yet to find Linley's presence yet.

“For this guy, we've spent two years. Finally, in ten days or about half a month, we will be able to return. "Lampson's voice is very soft.

Lampson was very cautious when he spoke as well, not giving any clues as to the identity of 'this person'.

"Two years . "Another black-robed man whose back was facing Linley shook his head. “For the sake of dealing with the old man, some of my good friends have died. ”

"As long as we catch him, everything will be in vain. "Say Lampson.

… .

Linley frowned as he listened to their conversation.

"What do they mean?"

He had indeed killed six Special Executors of the Ecclesiastical Court, but he was definitely not an 'parent'.

"Old man? And they'll be back soon? "Linley began to understand that these people were here, most likely for the purpose of dealing with that person.

Linley began to grow curious. Who, exactly, does the Radiant Church deserve to love from this endeavor?

"Old man, what do you see?" One of the black-robed men snapped softly.

"Why arrogance?" An old-fashioned sounding voice spoke. "If it wasn't for the fact that you were outnumbered and used some tricks, how could I have fallen into your hands? Really joke. ”

Linley's eyelids twitched.

It seemed that the owner of this old voice was the person the Radiant Church wanted.

“The Radiant Church did not send so many experts to other countries to chase and kill me. But they did it for this old man .. who exactly is he? "

Linley wondered to himself.

“No matter what, and no matter who this old man is, I will definitely save him. "Linley laughed coldly to herself. “ Being able to interrupt the important plans of the Radiant Church will make me feel a little better. ”

To completely destroy the Radiant Church and uproot it completely was extremely difficult.

Right now, he could only continue one step at a time.

After waiting for about half an hour, Lampson and a group of his men finally left the hotel, taking the old man with them. From start to finish, Lampson and the people with him had yet to glance at Linley, who had been hidden by his screen.

Linley walked out of his room.

"Bebe, let's go. "Linley casually threw a few gold pieces, directly leading Bebe out of the hotel, following Lampson's group from behind.

Linley's understanding of the 'force' level had already reached the peak of mastery. Just by using his knowledge of 'force', Linley was able to stand on the water without drowning, something that most fighters of the ninth rank could not. This was a higher level of comprehension, one that could not be achieved only through strong physical strength or battle-qi.

Following behind Lampson's group, Linley finally managed to see who these people were.

“The Radiant Church has six people, along with the mysterious old man they are guarding. "Linley had the feeling that these six were all fighters of the ninth rank.

Six members of the ninth stage, care for and control a single old man. And with Cardinal Lampson leading the squad personally.

Hearing their conversation, it seemed that Cardinal Lampson's men had spent two years on this task, and had lost quite a few men as well.

"Who is this old man?" From behind, Linley managed to catch a glimpse of how the old man looked as well.

He was so thin, and his white eyebrows were so long that they descended to his chest. Most importantly, this old man was shackled by hands. Only, there was a piece of cloth wrapped around the handcuffs. Most people will not realize it unless they have examined it closely. Even Linley only noticed it after following them for a long time, and only due to a gust of wind to temporarily blow the cloth wrapping around for a while.

"Hrm? Was it ... "This was the first time Linley had seen this legendary tool. "Antimagic hunting?"

According to the records, anyone shackled by these antimagic handcuffs would not be able to use the mageforce in their body. Even the most powerful magi would be like ordinary people. But these antimagic shackles are very expensive. This was the first time Linley had seen such a thing.

Linley sneaked in and out of the crowd on the street, sometimes evading, sometimes hiding. His movements are very graceful. Lampson and his men had absolutely no idea he was there.

After a while, Lampson and his men arrived in an alley. They stopped in front of the two-story residence. One of the men in black robes knocked on the door.

"Sir. "The door to the residence opened, and a middle-aged man came out with a bow. “Everything is ready. Gentlemen, please come in and rest. ”

Lampson and the others nodded.

“Xartes [Ke'sa'te'si], you and your brother, take care of the old man. We'll release you later. "Lampson.

Linley was secretly surprised. “Even shackled by antimagic handcuffs, they still intend to watch him this close? This old man is really something special. "This made Linley desire to ruin the plans of the Radiant Church even more.
