Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Under the rising sun, the waves gently lashed against the rocks on the shore.
Lin Lei and Bud were seated on the beach, exchanging their insights into the art of sword and magic.
The more they chatted, the more stunned Bud was.
Lin Lei’s control over the art of the sword and magic had reached a level that even he had to look up to.
This caused the desolate sword sage, Bud, extremely shocked.
After all, he was already a resonance level expert, and Lin Lei’s control over his mageforce was countless times greater than his.
What sort of existence was Lin Lei?
Could it be that he was a peak resonance level expert in the control of mageforce?
For people like them who had lived for thousands of years, they preferred to refer their magic affinity as mageforce control.
As for the deity-level, Bud didn’t dare to think that way.
That legendary level, which could only appear in legends, was far too distant for an expert of his level.
After hesitating for a long time, Bud finally couldn’t control the curiosity in his heart and he said to Lin Lei, “Kid, can you tell me your name?”
Bud really couldn’t hold it in any longer. Towards this young man in front of him, the curiosity in his heart was like a tickle, crawling back and forth in his heart.
Who had taught this kid? Could it be that he was a member of the imperial family?
He didn’t remember that there was such a person in the Empire!
Lin Lei was stunned.
“My name?”
“My name is just a appellation.”
“If you really want to call me, then call me the master of the ultimate sword.”
“Ultimate sword? The ultimate sword?”
Bud had thought about it for a long time, but he hadn’t thought of such a person. None of the earl and marquis had such a person.
What was the ultimate sword?
“The name of the ultimate sword doesn’t bode well.”
Bud thought to himself.
As the desolate sword sage, who had existed for a long time, he had always been very accurate in judging people.
In his eyes, it was only a matter of time before Lin Lei rose to prominence within the Empire.
Once Lin Lei rose to prominence, the Empire would probably be filled with yet another storm of blood.
“Kid, you helped me gain some insights today. One day as a teacher, a hundred days as a benefactor. I’ll remember this favor in my heart. In the future, if you have any problems that you can’t solve, you can come find me at any time,” Bud said very seriously.
Today, Lin Lei had given him some insights, which had allowed Bud to vaguely grasp a hint of a chance to make a breakthrough.
Now that he had achieved his goal of returning to the basics, there wasn’t much point in staying.
But before Bud could tell Lin Lei that he was preparing to leave, Lin Lei’s face changed dramatically!
He stared off into the distance and an incomparably terrifying killing intent exploded forth from his body!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The surrounding waves instantly rose dozens of meters high because of Lin Lei’s killing intent.
In the end, they transformed into multiple tornadoes that continuously swirled within a thousand meters of Lin Lei.
“This killing intent is too terrifying!”
Bud said in shock.
In Bud’s heart, Lin Lei had always been a gentle and easygoing person. But now, this terrifying killing intent… did it really emanate from his body.
Earlier, in that moment, Lin Lei had sensed that the imprint he left in Alice’s soft armor had shattered!
Alice had most likely encountered a life-or-death crisis!
And she was still being pursued.
Now that Alice hadn’t shattered her amulet, there were only two possibilities!
Either Alice was in such a sorry state that she didn’t even have a chance to shatter her amulet or Alice believed that the enemy was extremely powerful, and that even if he came, he would be buried with her.
Alice didn’t want to implicate him.
But Lin Lei had made a promise before the tomb of the lord of White Tiger Tower, James, that he would definitely protect Alice!
Lin Lei absolutely wouldn’t allow anything to happen to Alice!
“Kid, what’s going on? What happened? This old man can help you,” the nearby Bud said in a low voice.
“No need. I’ll deal with it myself.”
After speaking, Lin Lei’s body flashed. There was no time to hide his power at all. Using the dark elf’s evasion spell, he shot directly towards Alice!
His speed continued to increase in the sky, like a bolt of lightning between heaven and earth!
“Peak-stage grand enchanter!?”
“Just one step away from becoming a sage!”
Bud’s pupils instantly shrank to the size of pinholes.
He was a sage-level existence. He could tell at a glance how powerful Lin Lei was.
“It seems someone really is going to be in deep trouble today.”
Seeing Lin Lei left, Bud couldn’t help but shook his head.
At this moment, the northenmost region of Beilageluiya Empire…
This place was surrounded by sea on three sides and the natural mageforce in the air was so scarce that it was almost non-existent. No first-rate power was willing to establish a base here.
As no one was watching over this place, this place gradually became an extremely unique existence.
Many people with no background or members of evil cults lived here.
From time to time, there would be a group of new heirs of nobles would come here to hunt evil cults or rogue cultivators.
This group of superior existences also called this place a hunting ground.
In the sky of the northernmost land, a huge airship appeared in the sky.
It was at least a few hundred meters long. From afar, it looked awe-inspiring and extremely imposing.
On the ground, countless people saw this airship. Their expressions changed drastically as they fled.
This was something that only nobles could possess.
Only nobles would come to the far north to hunt!
