Chapter 66: The Young Man
"It's okay, I'm fine..." Hearing Lin Chen's words, Colonel Brak waved his hand, but Lin Chen could see that Colonel Brak was not in good condition, not just because of the failure to break through the Holy Domain, but also because of his mental state, as if he had some worries, with a melancholic expression.
"If the captain has nothing else to say, then I'll take my leave?" After this commotion, Lin Chen also wanted to hurry and leave. After all, Captain Blake had made a big fuss just now, and Lin Chen, who didn't want to expose himself, wanted to leave. His current strength was still a bit too weak.
"Ah, I'm not feeling too well today, let's catch up next time," Blak said with a forced smile as he turned to Lin Chen. Although they had failed in their attempt to break through the Sacred Realm, Blak knew exactly where he had gone wrong, and so was being extremely polite to Lin Chen.
Being able to talk about the Way of the Gods, Lin Chen's identity became even more intriguing. Although Lin Chen's words couldn't possibly be his own realization, he was just a professional who was about to reach the realm of an initial swordsman.
However, Lin Chen was able to say such words, necessarily because someone had told him that this was an epiphany unique to a strong practitioner of the Sacred Realm. A strong practitioner of the Sacred Realm was willing to tell these words to Lin Chen, then there must be a strong practitioner of the Sacred Realm standing behind Lin Chen, is there still any need to doubt?
"Hmm, next time he comes to visit?", Lin Chen was taken aback by Colonel Brak's words. Someone who had touched the edge of the holy domain wanted to find him and personally come to visit? This was indeed giving him a lot of face. However, at this moment, Lin Chen heard a commotion outside the courtyard and didn't continue to stay. He nodded his head in farewell and turned to leave.
As the door to the small courtyard opened, a group of people rushed over. The leader was an Lv86 powerhouse and another king-level strongman. Seeing Lin Chen, he was taken aback and didn't understand why there was a stranger like Lin Chen in the small courtyard. However, this king-level strongman didn't mind and charged into the small courtyard, "Captain, were you just attacking the Sacred Domain? Congratulations, you've already touched the threshold of the Sacred Domain..."
Behind him, the deputy commander of the Whirlwind Mercenary Corps led everyone in congratulating Blaker with joy, although Blaker did not successfully break through. However, as long as they could touch some of the threshold of the holy realm, it was exciting enough.
Because then there is a goal, at least there is a goal to strive for the holy domain, unlike most of the king-level peaks, although they are also only one step away from the holy domain, but this one step is a moat in the sky, leaving them with no clue, not knowing how to take the last step...
As for the commotion of the Difei Mercenary Corps, Lin Chen didn't pay attention to it and turned around to leave. However, when Lin Chen walked out, he was shocked to discover that he had actually forgotten about his own business because of Blak's attack on the Sacred Domain, and he even forgot to ask the Difei Mercenary Corps for a copy of the demon beast distribution data around the Imperial Capital.
"Excuse me, sir. How is our commander?" Just then, a voice sounded in Lin Chen's ear. Upon hearing the voice, Lin Chen turned his head to look and found it was an ordinary member of the mercenary group that had just taken him to find Blake.
"Ah, you're the team leader. You're doing well." Lin Chen nodded and said, then asked the mercenary for a copy of the monster distribution data near the Imperial City. As expected, the mercenary was a member of the mercenary team and was very familiar with the nearby monster distribution. This kind of information wasn't rare, and since Lin Chen was an honored guest of the team leader, the mercenary quickly handed over a copy of the internal distribution map to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen unfolded the map in his hand, looking at the local map that included the Imperial Capital, which also marked the type and level of monsters and their distribution positions. Lin Chen secretly rejoiced, nodded, and put it away. With the map in his bosom, he left the Whirlwind Mercenary Corps with Aites.
Tonight, many people are destined to be sleepless nights, because the news of Commander Blak's failure in storming the Sanctuary is a heavy thing for many people, and they can't fall asleep naturally.
However, Lin Chen looked at the map in the evening and quickly determined his target. The third-level magic beast Feng Ling Fox, a kind of magic beast that excels in speed and can cast the primary wind spell Wind Blade, the King of Feng Ling Fox is at least a BOSS above Lv25.
After determining the goal, Lin Chen slept beautifully in his own room at the pharmacist's guild and got up early, washed and ate something before leaving with Ates.
"If we find the small forest later, I'll let you handle the ordinary Wind Spirit Foxes. As for the Wind Spirit Fox King, you don't need to intervene..." Lin Chen and Atres walked out of the Imperial City and followed the map to search for the Wind Spirit Fox King. Along the way, Lin Chen instructed Atres.
"Alright, I see," Attar nodded in response to Lin Chen's words. Although he didn't understand why Lin Chen wanted to go solo against the Wind Spirit Fox King, a low-ranking demon beast, Attar didn't ask any further questions. He simply nodded and said, "Maybe it's because you trained for a whole day in the training room yesterday, so you want to try something different today?"
With Yatse as a powerful assistant, Lin Chen was very satisfied. If it weren't for Yatse, the difficulty of killing Fengling Fox King would have increased by at least several times. Next to Fengling Fox King, there must be a group of minions. It's indeed impossible to kill Fengling Fox King under the siege of those foxes.
After all, this is not a game. As long as you are outside the monster's boundary, they won't bother you even if they see Li. In this real world, Lin Chen was certain that anyone who saw his Wind Spirit Fox would definitely not just stand there...
"Oh no!", but just as Lin Chen led Ares into a small forest ten miles east of the Imperial City, a sudden cry for help rang out.
Lin Chen looked up and saw a boy about 14 or 15 years old, holding a huge sword that was even taller than himself, running over in a panic. Behind the boy, a third-level magical beast, a leopard, was chasing after him with great momentum.
"Save me! Save me!", in the chaotic escape, this young man sometimes slashed out a sword energy to block the tiger rushing from behind, but unfortunately, his attack was not enough, and every time he was dodged by the agile leopard.
"Huh? That guy……", seeing that this youth was only at Lv12 and merely an apprentice swordsman who hadn't even grasped the concept of Dou Qi, yet he could still unleash a sword energy attack. This left Lin Chen astonished - without grasping Dou Qi, how did he manage to unleash a sword energy attack?
Taking a closer look, Lin Chen was suddenly enlightened and also somewhat surprised. The large sword in the young man's hand turned out to be an epic-level weapon, which shocked Lin Chen. Epic-level weapons were something that Lin Chen had never seen before, even among the king-level swordsmen of the Alchemist Guild, who only wielded perfect-level weapons at best.
At the time of Lin Chen's surprise, this young man saw Lin Chen, especially seeing Ares following beside Lin Chen, his face was filled with great joy, and he hurriedly ran over to this side.
Although he also thought that Yats was just a level 4 magical beast, the fire lizard, it was just one level stronger than the leopard behind.
"Yates, save him," Lin Chen said, seeing the boy running over to ask for help. He let Yates take care of the third-level magic beast. When it was time to change jobs, if he didn't change jobs, he wouldn't be able to get experience, so Lin Chen didn't bother to take action.
