The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 231

Emperor Johann had heard of Linley's fame a long time ago.

'That 'Second genius magius' in all of history had also attained the great rank of great sculptor at the age of sixteen. An absolute genius. When Johann had learned about Linley and his history, he could not help but sigh repeatedly.

He watched Linley walk.

“He does look like a very talented man. "Johann sighed to himself. Be it in his physical proportions or his protected personality, Johann could tell that Linley did indeed possess the unique aura of a grandmaster sculptor.

“Greetings, Your Majesty the Emperor. "Linley bent fractional.

"How dare you. "The palace attendant next to Emperor Johann said in a shrill voice. "How dare you not kneel and bow before His Majesty the Emperor?"

Linley swept over the officer with his cold gaze. The palace attendant suddenly felt as if he was being stared at by a viper, and he could only shiver.

"A masterful artist like Linley is someone we have admired for a long time. Naturally, there was no need for him to kneel down and pay his respects. ”Johann glanced at the waiter nearby, and the attendant no longer dared to speak.

In the O'Brien Empire, in general, ministers needed to kneel before the Emperor. But people like Blumer, a personal disciple of the God of War, only needed to bow a little.

"Whartons. "Johann looked at Wharton, who was standing next to Linley. “We have long heard that you have an older brother. Why did you just take him to see Us today? "

Wharton immediately said, "Your Imperial Majesty, your servant brother has just arrived at the imperial capital. ”

Emperor Johann nodded calmly, then looked at Linley. With a laugh, he said, "Master Linley, I heard that at seventeen years old, you became a two-element magus of the seventh rank. After ten years have passed, may I ask what level you are now at? ”

Linley smiled. “After ten years of grueling training, just a few days ago, I stepped through the gate to ninth rank. ”

"An Arch Magus of the ninth rank?" Johann flashes.

"What?" Shouts of surprise from behind the Emperor. Linley casually glanced at the cover screen placed behind the Emperor's seat. Once he entered, Linley already knew that there were two experts of the ninth rank hidden there, one magus, one warrior.

Johann glanced back as well.

Knowing that they had revealed themselves, the two of them advanced. One was wearing a long, loose magus robe, while the other was wearing a classic warrior outfit.

"Both are our guards. They are also surprised by your progress, Mr. Linley. "Johann laughed calmly.

“Arch Magus two elements of the ninth rank. Linley, may I ask how old are you this year? "The silver-haired good looks at Linley. As a magus, he naturally knew how difficult it was for one to increase one's spiritual energy level.

Throughout history, more than ten warriors had reached Saint level in their twenties.

But in all of history, no single Arch Magus of the ninth rank had reached that rank before the age of thirty. The rate of advancement of spiritual energy was something that could not be increased by any known means. It takes one to slowly accumulate it, step by step.

“My brother is twenty-seven this year. "Wharton speaking.

"Twenty-seven!" Hearing this number, the magus of the ninth rank was very .. funny .. a look of shock on his face.

History is history. History includes records of countless geniuses over tens of thousands of years. There were some people who reached the ninth rank after the age of thirty, but that was ancient history. In the past few centuries, not a single person had reached the ninth rank in their thirties.

But…

"Twenty seven . Twenty seven! ”The silver-haired old man laughed at himself. "I reached the rank of Arch Magus of the ninth rank when I was 170, and I don't think I did too badly. But compared to you, Mr. Linley … "

The silver-haired old man sighed, shaking his head.

The difference is too great.

"Mr . Gerhaus, in the past, how old was the youngest Arch Magus to reach the ninth rank? ”Johann directly inquires.

The silver-haired old man said respectfully, “Your Imperial Majesty, according to historical records, the youngest Arch Magus of rank nine was an absolute genius from over thirty thousand years ago. He reached the ninth rank at the age of thirty-two. In more recent history, from the beginning of the Yulan calendar to the present, the youngest magus genius to reach ninth rank did so at the age of thirty-five. ”

In training battle-qi, if one possessed or obtained some special treasures, perhaps their battle-qi would be greatly enhanced.

A person's level of comprehension might suddenly jump as well from a flash of insight.

There were people who had reached the Saint level in their twenties!

But spiritual energy is not something that you can increase easily. Even by using the Straight Chisel School of stone carving, Linley only gained a sudden breakthrough and increased his single time, when he was sixteen years old. In the past ten years, he had been slowly, painstakingly practicing non-stop. It was only then that he managed to reach the ninth rank.

"I've heard that Master Linley is not just magus. You are also a strong warrior? "Emperor Johann smiled towards Linley.

Linley smiled calmly. "Your Majesty, you can ask that person next to you to give me a trial. ”

The ninth rank soldier pursed his lips. "Could it be that Master Linley is a genius in such a way that you have reached the level of a warrior of the ninth rank as well?"

"Mr . Lancy, go ahead and try him. But you have to be careful. Master Linley was from the Dragonblood Warrior clan. "Johann laughs.

Mr . Lancy immediately drew her pitch-black sword.

Linley simply flipped his hand, allowing Bloodviolet to appear in his palm. Against a warrior of the ninth rank, he did not even need to change.

"Hrmphs. "Illus layer, starlight seems to suddenly cover the sword in Mr. Lancy's Hands. "Mr . Lancy was a student of the Stellar Sword Saint. “Johann explained.

The Stellar Sword Saint?

Linley did not even care about the Stellar Sword Saint himself, let alone his disciple.

"Swish ..." The sword seemed to split through the air itself, slashing at Linley with seemingly great power. Linley just stood there, not even moving. Bloodviolet flashed …

Mr . Lancer suddenly felt as if the entire world was filled with a purple light, and that all of the surrounding space was suddenly locked and frozen.

"Bombs!" The flat from Bloodviolet's blade struck Lancy, dropping her backwards and crashing into the stone screen. The screen split, and Lancy spat out a mouthful of blood as she fell to the ground.

Sticking herself by hand onto the floor, Lancy slowly got up. His eyes did not have a hint of arrogance in them. Instead, he said with gratitude, "Thank you for being merciful, Mr. Linley. "The "flat of the sword contained an incredible force when it hit him. If it was the tip of a knife, he would definitely die.

"Of course . It was just a sparring match. "Say Linley relaxed.

"Mr Linley, you have mastered the level using the power of heaven and earth. My master once said that in order to reach Saint-level, one must master this level. I'm too far from your level, Mr. Linley. "Lancy knows her own limits.

When fighting against his master, he had previously experienced the sensation of the space around him freezing and locked.

Emperor Johann's eyes narrowed.

The Empire's intelligence regarding the Dragonblood Warrior was quite detailed. If one was able to reach the ninth rank in human form, then after Dragonforming, that person would definitely be at the Saint level of power. And if they were able to reach Saint-levels in human form, then in Dragonform, they would definitely be invincible among Saint-levels.

Linley's status in Johann's mind continued to rise.

"Haha ... mister Linley, you are truly the most outstanding genius we have ever seen. Even Olivier can't compete with you. "Johann laughed loudly.

As a warrior, Olivier might be on par with Linley.

But as a magus? Who could compete with him, the greatest genius in history?

As a stonecutter? Linley had been recognized as a grandmaster sculptor at the age of sixteen. Every lover of stone statues is filled with worship towards him.

It is very difficult to reach the top of any field. In order for one to reach the top of the three fields ..only the word 'genius' could be used to describe it.

"His Majesty the Emperor. "Linley didn't want to waste time with Johann. “I just arrived at the imperial capital. There are many things that I do not understand well about the affairs of the Empire. But I understood that my sister Wharton really liked Seventh Princess, Nina. In my capacity as the clan leader of the Baruch clan, I would like to ask you, Your Majesty the Emperor. Are you willing to let Nina marry into my Baruch clan? "

With Hogg's death, Linley had become the leader of the Baruch clan.

But this so-called clan only had two members to it.

"This ..." Johann was put into a very difficult situation by Linley's sudden ambush.

Linley was indeed a genius, and Johann's heart had been moved.

There were several Saint-level warriors in the O'Brien Empire. War God College itself has several. But Grand Magi Saint-levels could be counted with one hand. And perhaps only one of them would obey the orders of the imperial clan.

Perhaps in a one-on-one fight, the Grand Magi Saint-level was not very strong.

But in times of war, Grand Magi Saint-levels were extremely dangerous.

Just think about it. If the Grand Magus Saint-level directly cast a destructive forbidden-level spell over your capital, how much damage would it cause? The millions of male soldiers that you painstakingly built up could be destroyed in an instant by a single forbidden level spell like 'Annihilating Tempest'.

Two Arch Magus elements of the ninth rank at the age of twenty-seven.

If one were to tell Johann that a genius like this would not be able to reach Saint-level and become a Grand Magus, Johann would most likely curse that person as mentally retarded.

“Man talent. ”

The allure of a Saint-level Grand Magus was much higher than that of a Saint-level warrior.

"Mr Linley, please give us some time to consider it. Emperor Johann was very friendly.

"Then my brother and I will respectfully await the decision of His Majesty the Emperor. "Said Linley while laughing calmly. "Then, Your Honor, I say goodbye. ”

"Mr Linley, why not enjoy dinner with Us instead?" Emperor Johann hurriedly said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kind offer. But I have other business to do. "Say Linley with a smile. There was a bit of disappointment on Johann's face, but he didn't try to suppress the matter. Smiling, he said, "Other times, then. ”

Linley and Wharton walked out of the inner palace. Wharton was excited. "Big brother, I have never seen His Majesty the Emperor so humble before. Even facing Blumer, he was never that simple. ”

“The O'Brien Empire has many Saint-level warriors, but very few Grand Magi Saint-levels. "Linley laughed calmly. "Most likely, she appreciates my talent in magic. ”

The twenty-seven-year-old Arch Magus double element of the ninth rank.

Anyone who heard these words would be frightened by his wits.

No one could say for sure how strong Linley would be in the future.

"Seeing from the look on the face of His Majesty the Emperor, it was likely that he had started to seriously consider things. I have been in the Empire for quite some time, but I have never heard of a Saint level Grand Magi. "Wharton breathed out emotionally.

The O'Brien Empire really had too few Grand Magi Saint-levels.

"Hmm?" Wharton suddenly saw someone from afar.

Realizing that Wharton had stopped, Linley could not help but ask, "What do you see?"

“Oh, this is Wharton. What, did you go visit His Majesty the Emperor? ”A cold voice sounded. Linley turned to look as well. At a glance, Linley could tell that this youngster in front of him was not weak.

"Blumer, what are you doing there?" Wharton said coldly.

Wharton was quite familiar with the layout of the imperial palace, especially the wing where the Seventh Princess, Nina, lived. The direction that Blumer was heading towards was right towards Nina's residence.

Blumer laughed calmly. "What's? Aren't I allowed to visit Princess Nina? ”

"Waiting Princess Nina?" Wharton suddenly calmed down. "Blumer, I'll bet that you haven't even been allowed in at the main entrance yet. ”

This is what happened.

Blumer goes to visit Nina, but Nina closes the gate on her face, refusing to see him at all.

Blumer's heart was filled with anger at this. His entire life, aside from his elder brother whom he worshipped, he had never humbled himself in front of anyone. After becoming a personal disciple of the God of War, he became more confident.

"No . I can't get in yet. ”

Wharton laughed calmly. “Blumer, do you think that since you are a personal disciple of the God of War, you can definitely marry Nina? Dream on! Big brother, let's go. ”

Linley shook his head with a calm smile, then turned around and left with Wharton as well.

"Wait!" Blumer suddenly shouted.

"Oh?" Wharton turned to look at him. "Maybe I ask, oh great personal disciple of the God of War, what else do you want?"

Blumer looked at him coldly. "Wharton, I heard you are from the Dragonblood Warrior clan, and you are quite strong after you transform. But I don't believe it. Today, I officially challenge you to a duel. Do you dare to accept? "

Linley could not help but narrow his eyes.

Wharton was startled for a moment, and then he laughed out loud. "What am I supposed to fear?"

"A month from now, in the Colosseum the imperial capital. I will invite His Majesty the Emperor as well as my apprentices from War God College to take the lead. If you don't have the guts to participate, you can give up. "The word Blumer is cold.

And then Blumer didn't notice Wharton anymore, immediately walking away.
