Chapter 43 Luo An
Chapter 43 Luo An
In Tianfeng County, the residence of the Talos family, a magnificent manor sits at the heart of the estate, resembling a newly built palace. A man in a light purple robe stands before the manor, flanked by a burly man and a richly dressed noblewoman.
"Hehe, I never thought my son could also advance to the legendary Saint Realm." Lin's eyes were filled with joy and relief.
What pleases him is that his son is still relatively young, only in his sixties. After achieving the Saint Realm, he will marry and have children. His offspring will likely have the potential to reach the ninth level, which will be the main lineage of the family and the key to the family's prosperity.
What is gratifying is that the second Saint-level member of the family is his own son.
"My old father really is dragging the family down." Lin Taros felt the battle qi in his body. He had reached the late stage of the ninth level a few years ago, but he was still half a step away from the peak of the ninth level. However, Lin Taros had been stuck on that half step for more than ten years.
"What are you bragging about?" The beautiful woman next to her rolled her eyes when she heard Lin's voice. They had been married for decades and knew exactly what her husband was thinking.
"Isn't it because I'm happy?" Lin chuckled.
"I wonder where Father has gone." The beautiful woman beside her sighed softly.
When their son entered the Holy Realm, the Talos family held a month-long banquet. People came not only from Tianfeng County, but also from several other kingdoms and duchies.
The two had seen quite a few dukes and kings these days.
Over the decades, although Tianfeng County has not developed to a higher level, its strength has undergone earth-shattering changes. There are more than 20 level 9 experts in the family. Such strength is enough to sweep away any duchy or kingdom. It is only because there are Saint Domain experts above that it is suppressed. Otherwise, given Lin's personality, he might as well try to establish a kingdom.
After all, there are no explicit requirements for the establishment of duchies, kingdoms, or empires on the Yulan Continent, but at least a certain land area is required.
To establish a duchy, one simply cannot conquer so much territory without a level nine powerhouse in charge. As for duchies, the emperors during their expansion periods were all quite powerful.
The house is decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and is filled with joy.
This is Tianfeng County today.
Loan Talos displayed unparalleled talent from a young age. He joined Ernst Magic Academy with his high-level fire elemental affinity and twenty-four times the talent of mental power. However, during his studies, he discovered that his talent for battle aura was even stronger than that of a mage. He is also recognized as the most likely person in the last hundred years to reach the Saint-level.
And Luo An lived up to everyone's expectations.
The Kingdom of Heavenly Wind.
In the capital, Karl summoned several leaders and, after talking with them, learned that twenty-four years had passed.
The obsession with cultivation was so intense that it was hard to extricate oneself. Over the past twenty-four years, the kingdom has grown stronger and stronger. The number of level nine experts has increased from just a handful to more than ten, including two peak level nine experts.
These two were so powerful that even Luo couldn't properly arrange things for them. He could only bestow upon them titles and honors upon them, and each command an army of 100,000. However, this was only a compromise. If the kingdom hadn't been established by a Saint-level expert, these two peak level nine experts would probably have left long ago.
"Please introduce yourselves, both of you."
"Your Majesty, I come from the Yulan Empire. However, I offended that person's disciple more than a hundred years ago. Although that person would not take a small fry like me seriously, there are always some people willing to serve him. I had no choice but to bring my family to the Chaotic Territory." The purple-haired middle-aged man, Casa Hanova, spoke first.
Karl simply nodded; Luo had already submitted the detailed intelligence before the court assembly.
A hundred years ago, this might have been a matter of several generations for some ordinary people, but as long as one's strength reached level seven or eight, these local experts would have heard of it to some extent.
As for the other person, even if he didn't introduce himself, Karl knew his identity. He came from the Luo Ao Empire and had once held the position of Imperial General. He was a staunch supporter of the former Crown Prince of the Luo Ao Empire. However, his appearance in the Chaotic Territory clearly meant that the Crown Prince had failed to ascend to the throne.
As die-hard loyalists of the defeated, they are either gradually pushed out of the center of imperial power, then their wings are gradually clipped, and finally a fatal blow is delivered.
They are either purged directly, or even those who verbally support them often meet a bad end.
"Now that you've joined our Heavenly Wind Kingdom, then do your job diligently," Karl said calmly.
The two peak level nine experts came to join them with the aim of advancing further, especially since the imperial-level forces have many Saint-level experts at their power center. With some guidance, they might be able to take that step.
However, Kasa offended the High Priest's disciple. Although this offense was only directed at the disciple's family descendants, it was still an offense. Most of the Saint-level experts in the Yulan Empire were related to the High Priest, especially some outstanding individuals who were often referred to as disciples of the High Priest.
The exclusion by colleagues and the suppression from above make it difficult to change this situation unless one can directly break through to the Saint Realm. Staying in the Yulan Empire is not as good as leaving and finding a way out.
Casa Hanova.
William Wilt.
Karl stared at the two of them, then quietly opened his attribute panel.

Karl was somewhat surprised that these two were genuinely loyal to him.
Otherwise, even if Karl possessed the system, he wouldn't be able to force these people into the roster of the territory's residents.
However, since they can be added, it means that the two people are reliable and can provide him with points, so Karl won't be stingy.
"From this day forward, Kasa and William, you will be the commanders of the Royal Guard. In the coming days, I will guide you on what the power of heaven and earth is, and help you reach the Saintly level as soon as possible."
As the saying goes, "A thousand pieces of gold can buy a horse's bones." In the past twenty-four years, only twenty-one level nine experts have come to the Kingdom of Tianfeng. Among them, sixteen are at the early stage of level nine and three are at the middle stage of level nine. Of these twenty-one, only four are truly loyal. Karl promised high positions to those who were truly loyal.
Over the past twenty years, the two level-nine warriors who were the first to join Karl are now at the late level-nine stage and are the commanders of Karl's two major legions. The peak level-nine warrior is the commander of the independent personal guard in the city guard. As for those at the early and mid levels of level-nine, those who did not sincerely join Karl were simply dismissed as legion generals. As for those who genuinely joined Karl, even if their strength was not at the late level-nine stage, they were still given the position of deputy commander.
This forms the core of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom's military today.
