Vol 8 Chapter 29 (1/2)

Book 8, The Ten Thousand Kiloation

The Northwest Administrative Province, one of the seven major provinces of the O’Brien Empire, was a vast place, with tens ofin it The Northwest Administrative Province’s provincial capital, Basil, was the most developed of the province’s cities Within the walls of Basil alone were over a million people

Within Basil, there were many ancient clans as well

Count Perry [Pi’li] was a relatively unassust the ancient clans, he had quite a bit of influence In addition, he was an extreled for influence Virtually all of the nobles of the city were on good terms with him

“Milord Count, you’ve returned” The guard outside the gate to his mansion smiled and bowed

Count Perry o hundred years old, and all his hair had turned silvery-white But his long beard was as resplendent as it had been when he was young Count Perry nodded slightly towards the guard, laughing warotten a haircut This haircut suits you Did you get it done at old Locke’s [Luo’ke] place?”

Hearing the words of praise, the guard was iht Mr Locke is really quite skilled”

Bea, Count Perry entered his mansion

“Count Perry really is a nice hed to himself

Count Perry really was a very kind person This was the opinion of virtually everyone in the city of Basil Count Perry didn’t like to kill people and didn’t like foul language His every action totally deentleman

He entered the inner courtyard

Count Perry’s face suddenly sank

“What is going on? How could so like this happen multiple tio, he had received the news that Cardinal Lampson and his Ascetics and Special Executors had disappeared within the prefectural city of Cerre And now, he had received the news that the squad that had been escorting those two girls had been killed, and the girls had vanished

Count Perry, after beco the person responsible for the affairs of the Radiant Church in the Northwest Administrative Province of the O’Brien E time

“I hope Lord Lampson hasn’t met with any trouble”

Perry prayed silently

If those two girls had been saved, then they had been saved It wasn’t of major concern But Lampson and the other five were all experts of the ninth rank, and the person they were escorting was an Arch Magus necromancer of the ninth rank This affair was theon the responsibilities for the Northwest Administrative Province

“Milord Count” A hawk-nosed, tall and skinnyrespectfully, he said, “We’ve already co lords”

Perry immediately looked at him “Speak, fast”

“Based on our sympathizers’ reports in the province, the lords still have yet to appear in any other cities In addition, we’ve activated our entire network of sympathizers within the prefectural city of Cerre, yet we still haven’t found anyone who saw the lords leaving the city” The hawk-nosed man replied respectfully

Perry stared

“What?” Perry’s heart, previously tense, genuinely began to quiver “Lampson and the other lords couldn’t possibly have remained in the prefectural city of Cerre this entire time And if they did stay in Cerre, there would be some trace of them Lampson and the others must have been attacked It is entirely possible that Lampson and the others could have exited the prefectural city of Cerre late at night by leaping past the city walls”

“But even if that was the case, Lord Lampson should still have reappeared in a different city”

Perry was starting to become truly worried

He had an extremely bad premonition

“Could it be possible that Lord Lampson encountered the attack of a powerful foe and was killed?” Perry didn’t dare to believe it After all, Lampson and the others were all extremely powerful To kill the six of them would require their opponents to number multiple experts of the ninth level, or a Saint-level combatant

Perry suddenly looked at the hawk-nosed man In a cold voice, he ordered, “Go at your fastest speed to find old Pori Tell hi his three Bluewind Hawks to my study”

“Yes, milord Count” The hawk-nosed man knew exactly how important this situation was

Perry hurriedly walked towards his study, and wrote three letters regarding Laiven to a different Bluewind Hawk and addressed to be delivered to the ‘Sacred Isle’

Ever since the Holy Capital, Fenlai City, had been destroyed, the Radiant Church set up their new headquarters on an island not too far away from the Yulan continent They publicly announced this place as being the ‘Sacred Isle’

Within the secluded valley outside the prefectural city of Cerre

Right now, there were four wooden rooms here One was for Linley and Bebe, another was for Zassler, the third was for Rebecca and Leena, while the last one was for Haeru

Dawn The valley was very quiet and peaceful

A pair of twin beauties, so lovely they see while washi+ng soed to them, Linley, and Zassler Within the valley, they handled all the cooking and cleaning

“Big sis Do you think Grandpa Zassler gets tired fro?” Rebecca asked Leena quietly

Zassler’s wooden room was totally shrouded by a black, deathly aura That dense, black, deathly aura made Rebecca and Leena scared to even approach it

Leena wrinkled her nose in a frown, an adorable sight She said consideringly, “Perhaps powerful experts all have to train very hard like that However, I still feelbrother Linley train” As she spoke, she turned to look at the distant blue pond, and Rebecca turned to look as well

In the center of the pond, Linley was standing on the water, not sinking at all

“Ripple, ripple”

The water beneath Linley’s feet were a few centimeters lower than the water around hi battle-qi fro small waves in the middle of the pond

Linley ielding the adaht hand Occasionally, he would chop with it, while other times, he would just thrust Every moveh the air was made of h it, there was a sense that it was breaking through space itself

“This ‘Profound Truths of the Earth’ technique sometimes works, but sometimes doesn’t work”

Linley’s forehead was furrowed

When he had killed Lah Linley had slashed Lampson with his sword, the outside of Lahtest His internal organs, however, had all been disintegrated

As Linley viewed it, the third level of using the adamantine heavy sas the ‘impose’ level But the fourth level, was the ‘Profound Truths of the Earth’

Through using this heavy weapon, the ada the portion of the Laws of the Earth he had come to understand This sort of attack could, in the blink of an eye, transfor power into vibrations which would enter the opponent’s body

This sort of vibrational attack, when fully nore an opponent’s defense

After all, the throbbing pulse of the world was so which had existed since the heavens and the earth had been formed The secrets it contained within it were extremely deep and profound
