The Northwest Administrative Province, one of the seven main provinces of the O'Brien Empire, was a vast place, with tens of millions of citizens living in it. The provincial capital of the Northwest Provincial Administration, Basil, is the most developed of the provincial cities. Inside the walls of Basil alone there were over a million people.
Inside Basil, there were many ancient clans as well.
Prince Perry [Pi'li] was a relatively modest noble in Basil City. But among the ancient clans, he had little influence. Moreover, he was a very friendly person who never fought with others or fought for influence. Almost all the nobles of the city were on good terms with him.
"Milord Count, you're back. "The guard outside the gate to his house smiled and bowed.
Count Perry was two hundred years old, and all of her hair had turned silvery white. But his long beard was as sparkling as it was when he was young. Count Perry nodded slightly towards the guard, laughing warmly, “Oh, you've got a haircut. This haircut is perfect for you. Did you finish it in Locke's old [Luo'ke] place? ”
Hearing the words of praise, the guard immediately smiled. "really. Mr . Locke is really very skilled. ”
Beaming, Prince Perry enters his mansion.
“Count Perry is really a good guy. "The guard breathed to himself.
Count Perry is a really nice guy. This is the opinion of almost everyone in the city of Basil. Count Perry doesn't like killing people and doesn't like dirty language. Every one of his actions truly showed the ethics and glory of an honorable man.
He entered the inner courtyard.
Count Perry's face suddenly sank.
"What the hell is going on? How could something like this happen over and over again? ”Count Perry is very frustrated. Just a few days ago, he received the news that Cardinal Lampson and his Hermits and Special Executives had disappeared in the prefectural city of Cerre. And now, he had received word that the troops escorting the two girls had been killed, and the girls had vanished.
Count Perry, after being the person in charge of the affairs of the Radiant Church in the Northwest Administrative Province of the O'Brien Empire, had never experienced any strange problems in a long time.
"I hope Lord Lampson doesn't get into trouble. ”
Perry prayed in his heart.
If the two girls are saved, they are saved. That's not a big deal. But Lampson and the other five were all experts of the ninth rank, and the person they brought in was an Arch Magus necromancer of the ninth rank. This affair was the most important affair he had ever met after taking responsibility for the Northwest Administrative Province.
"Millord's Count. "A man with an eagle-nosed, tall and thin with curly hair came in. Bowing respectfully, he said, “We have completed our investigation of the missing kings. ”
Perry looked at him immediately. "Speak, hurry. ”
“Based on the reports of our sympathizers in the province, the rulers have still not appeared in other cities. In addition, we have activated our entire network of sympathizers within the city of Cerre Prefecture, yet we still have not found anyone who saw the rulers leave the city. "The eagle-nosed man replied respectfully.
Perry staring.
"What?" Perry's heart, which was previously tense, actually began to tremble. "Lampson and the other nobles were unlikely to remain in the prefectural city of Cerre all along. And if they stay in Cerre, there will be traces of them. Lampson and the others must have been attacked. It is very likely that Lampson and the others were able to get out of the prefectural city of Serre late at night by jumping through the city walls. ”
“But even if that was the case, Lord Lampson should still reappear in a different city. ”
Perry was starting to get really worried.
He has a very bad feeling.
"Could it be that Lord Lampson faced a powerful enemy attack and was killed?" Perry did not dare to believe it. After all, Lampson and the others were all very strong. To kill all six of them would require their opponents to number several experts of the ninth level, or a Saint level fighter.
Perry suddenly looked at the eagle-nosed man. In a cold voice, he ordered, “Go at your fastest speed to find the old Pori. Tell him to bring the three Bluewind Hawks into my study. ”
"Yes, Mr. Count. "The "eagle-nosed man knew exactly how important this situation was.
Perry hurriedly walked towards his study, and wrote three letters about the affairs of Lampson's squad. Each copy was given to a different Hawewind Hawk and was intended to be sent to the 'Holy Island'.
Ever since the Holy Capital, Fenlai City, had been destroyed, the Radiant Church established their new headquarters on an island not too far from the Yulan continent. They publicly announced this place as the 'Holy Island'.
……
In a remote valley outside the prefectural city of Cerre.
Currently, there were four wooden rooms here. One for Linley and Bebe, the other for Zassler, the third for Rebecca and Leena, while the last for Haeru.
Dawn . The valley was very quiet and peaceful.
A pair of twin girls, so beautiful that they looked like illusions, chatted and laughed while washing clothes. These clothes belonged to them, Linley, and Zassler. Inside the valley, they handled all the cooking and cleaning.
"Big brother. Do you think Grandpa Zassler is tired of spending all his time in training that room? ”Rebecca asked Leena calmly.
Zassler's wooden room was completely enveloped by a deadly black aura. That pitch-black, deadly aura made Rebecca and Leena afraid to approach him.
Leena pursed her nose in a frown, an adorable sight. He said thoughtfully, “Maybe the strong experts all have to train very hard like that. However, I still feel more comfortable watching big brother Linley train. "When she spoke, she turned to look at the distant blue pond, and Rebecca turned to look as well.
In the middle of the pond, Linley was standing on the water, not drowning at all.
"Riak, ripple. ”
The water under Linley's feet was a few centimeters lower than the surrounding water, as Linley was constantly releasing battle-qi from his feet, creating small waves in the middle of the pond.
Linley held the adamantine heavy sword in his right hand. Sometimes, he cut it, while at other times, he would just push. Any movement would cause the air nearby to tremble. It was as if the air was made of mud, and when the adamantine heavy sword cut through it, there was a feeling that it pierced through space itself.
“This 'Earth's Profound Truth' technique sometimes works, but sometimes doesn't work. ”
Linley's forehead wrinkled.
When he had killed Lampson, even though Linley had slashed Lampson with his sword, the outside of Lampson's body was not injured in the slightest. But his internal organs have been destroyed.
As Linley saw it, the third level using the adamantine heavy sword was the 'force' level'. But the fourth level, is the 'Great Truth of Earth'.
Using this heavy weapon, the adamantine heavy sword, Linley was now able to unleash a part of the Earth Laws that he had comprehended. This kind of attack could, in the blink of an eye, turn all of the attack power into vibrations that would enter the opponent's body.
This kind of vibration attack, when mastered completely, could have simply ignored the opponent's defense.
After all, the pulsating pulse of the world was something that had existed since the heavens and earth were formed. The secrets contained within were profound and profound.
Turning one's attack power into the same vibration as the pulse of the world itself. When this vibration enters the opponent's body, the inside of the opponent will also start to resonate. The resonance would be extremely powerful; after all, it had been created through Linley's attack power.
The internal organs of the body are hardly as durable as a person's external defenses.
This kind of resonance can easily annihilate the internal organs of the opponent, shaking them into small pieces.
“However, it is very difficult to convert the attack power into a resonating vibration. "Linley understood that the battle-qi and power he usually used were completely different types of attacks, compared to the 'resonance wave' type of attack'.
Only by relying on a partial understanding of the Laws of the Earth was Linley able to turn a normal attack into this kind of 'resonance wave' attack.
Per Linley's line of thought, the more 'resonance waves' were created, the more successful the power transformation was.
“Sometimes, I can make more than ten vibrations in the blink of an eye, but other times, I can't even make them. "Head Linley was injured.
Linley understood that once his skill in using heavy swords had reached this level, he could already be considered to have entered the realm using the 'Earth Law'.
But Linley was not fully able to catch him.
"I can't be too greedy. Right now, I shouldn't be too focused on creating as many vibrations as possible. I had to focus on only one resonance wave at a time. "Holding the adamantine heavy sword in one hand, Linley's face was extremely solemn.
Suddenly ….
The adamantine heavy sword was as if it was splitting the air while cutting down the lake.
The strange thing was, there was not a single ripple created on the surface of the lake. But suddenly, the entire lake started to emit a strange gurgling sound .. and then, as if lifted by a giant, the entire surface of the lake suddenly rose, forming a one meter high wall of water.
“I made it again this time. ”
Linley was actually not too excited. He sometimes succeeds and sometimes fails while training with this 'Earth Profound Truth. He cannot reproduce the results with regularity.
"Sister Linley, time to eat. "Leena stood on the beach not too far away, laughing as she called out to him.
“Grandfather Zassler, time to eat! Stop training! ”Rebecca started calling from outside Zassler's wooden room.
With a flip of his hand, Linley sent an adamantine heavy sword flying into the air. On landing, he landed neatly into his sheath. Linley had already completely mastered the 'force' level, and the weight of the adamantine heavy sword did not deter Linley in the slightest.
On the grass, a rectangular table had been laid.
Linley, Zassler, Rebecca, and Leena sat around the table.
"Linley, what are you training? I'm looking at the weird training method you're working on. I have never seen a warrior chariot in such a way. "Say Zassler with curiosity.
Zassler had a very broad knowledge, but comparatively speaking, he did not know much about warrior training methods.
In fact, the most important thing for peak-level experts of the ninth rank to enter Saint-level was to advance to a higher level of comprehension. And for a Saint-level to rise to the level of a God, they also needed to understand the various Laws of heaven and earth before they could reach the heavenly spark.
“I train to gain greater understanding. This was similar to magus' attempt to gain insight into the nature of elemental essence. "Say Linley relaxed.
Zassler understood.
As an Arch Magus necromancer of the ninth rank, Zassler often enveloped himself with the boundless death aura of the corpse realm to try and comprehend the elusive Death Laws and illusions.
“Zassler, we killed Lampson and his men. Do you think the Radiant Church will be able to swallow their anger? "Linley was still worried about this affair.
Zassler laughed very confidently. "Don't worry. Let me tell you, the O'Brien Empire and the Radiant Church are very far apart. Even if they used flying ferocious beasts to send messages, they would need ten days or half a month. And if they were to send in experts, it would still take quite a while. ”
“But if Saint-level experts fly here, they will be able to travel very quickly. "Said Linley solemnly.
After killing so many people of the Radiant Church, it was highly likely that the Radiant Church would send over Saint-level experts.
“Haha, don't worry. They did not dare to send Saint-level experts. Think about it . Why didn't they send Saint-level experts to capture me, instead of sending fighters of the ninth rank? ”Zassler laughs loudly in excitement.
Linley wanted to know about this as well.
If Saint-level experts were sent after Zassler, catching him would be very easy.
"Linley, you must understand, the O'Brien Empire is overseen by the God of War. A long time ago, the God of War decided that Saint-level combatants from other countries would not be allowed to act wildly within the confines of the O'Brien Empire. If they came for pleasure purposes, it was fine, but if they were found to be involved in violent acts, the impact would be severe. ”
Zassler laughed coldly. “Even if the Radiant Church had ten times the courage, they would not dare to defy the orders of the God War. ”
The God of War cannot be broken.
"Not necessarily . ”
Linley shook his head. “Didn't you just say it? 'If they are found to be involved in violence. 'But what if they are not found? Remember, the prefectural city of Cerre had no experts, and the God of War was far away, in the imperial capital. If a Saint-level warrior suddenly appeared in the prefectural city of Cerre, he would not need to know. ”
Zassler's surprised.
"The Radiant Church won't be that big, will it?" Zassler is a bit uncertain.
"It's hard to say . After all, we killed six fighters of the ninth rank in one breath, this time. And when they try to catch you, you also kill some of them. The Radiant Church would not easily accept this, without a fight. "Said Linley solemnly.
Zassler considered this for a while, then laughed. "It's okay . Although the prefectural city of Cerre did not have Saint-level fighters, Basil City did have one. McKenzie´s. If Saint-level experts from the Radiant Church were sent here to fight with us, McKenzie would definitely be aware of it. McKenzie would definitely not allow the Radiant Church's forces to act in such an unrestrained manner in his territory. At that time, with two Saint-level experts engaged in battle here, the War God would definitely know of it. ”
"really. "Linley started laughing as well.
If he was able to incite the Radiant Church into a battle against the O'Brien Empire, the Radiant Church would actually bite down on more than it could chew.
"Linley, when I was under armed escort by Lampson and the others in the Northwest Administrative Province, the people that the Radiant Church secretly stationed in the Northwest Administrative Province went to greet them. I remember one of them was an old man named 'Perry', who was in charge of their affairs in the province. Judging from their conversation, that Perry should be the provincial capital of Basil.
Zassler laughed cynically. “Because we're going to Basil, we'd better get rid of Perry's guy. Perhaps we can even discover some more secrets of the Radiant Church. ”
"Managers for their affairs in the Northwest Administrative Province?" Linley's eyes twinkled. "Good . We'll leave tomorrow. ”
