Brothers Reunited
The butler, Hiri, saw Lin Feng and said with satisfaction, "Young Master Lin Feng has grown up, but he still looks a lot like he did when he was ten years old."
Lin Feng was nearly 1.7 meters tall when he was ten years old. His appearance then is naturally very similar to it now.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded.
Lin Feng turned his head and saw a tall figure that seemed familiar, as if he had seen it in a dream. The figure looked about seven or eight parts like him. Lin Feng had a feeling that the person in front of him should be his younger brother, Wharton.
However, Wharton was only six years old when he left, and he has changed so much since then.
Wharton recognized Lin Feng in just a moment; Lin Feng still looked very similar to how he did back then. Wharton opened his mouth, but tears streamed down his face. "Brother."
Lin Feng slowly walked towards Wharton, Lin Feng gaze fixed entirely on Wharton.
"Brother" Wharton also took two steps over.
"Little Wharton, is it really you?" Lin Feng looked at Wharton in front of him. The chubby little boy from back then was now a 2.2-meter-tall young man.
"Brother, it's me, it's me!" Wharton completely forgot about Nina at this moment; his heart was filled with boundless excitement. He could no longer contain his excitement.
Lin Feng, his hands trembling, gripped Wharton's shoulders, looking at Wharton intently with a smile on his face and tears welling in his eyes. He said in a trembling voice, "Little Wharton, you've grown up."
In my memory, the little baby who used to call me "brother" in a childish voice has grown up.
"Brother!" Wharton hugged Lin Feng tightly. Looking at Wharton, Lin Feng felt an unprecedented surge of emotion, and tears streamed down his face.
Lin Feng and Wharton have been separated for nearly seventeen years.
Seventeen years ago, shortly after the Yulan Festival, Wharton left Wushan Town with his butler, Hiri, and headed to the distant O'Brien Empire. At that time Lin Feng was ten years old and Wharton was six. Behind them was Hogg, Hogg protected them like an eagle protecting its young.
Now, Hogg is long dead. One of his brothers is Earl of the O'Brien Empire, while the other has already possessed terrifying strength at the limit of the Saint Realm.
In the Count's Mansion's drawing room.
Lin Feng, Wharton, butler Hiri, Hillman, Nade, the Barker Five Brothers, Sessler, Jenny, and the Rebecca sisters, among others, gathered together.
Two rectangular dining tables were set up side by side, and a sumptuous feast of fine wines was served one after another.
Lin Feng and Wharton were talking about things that had happened over the years, although Wharton already knew the general outline of Lin Feng's situation from the Dawson Chamber of Commerce.
"Brother, you, you've reached the Saint Realm?" Wharton exclaimed in surprise. Wharton knew how difficult cultivation was. Even with his extremely high concentration of Dragonblood Warrior blood, he was still only at level eight. His transformation was only at the peak of level nine.
Lin Feng's Dragonblood Warrior bloodline concentration was even lower than his.
However, to claim the ability to protect oneself, one must at least reach the Saint Realm.
"Hmm." Lin Feng smiled and nodded, without saying anything more.
At the same table, Hillman and his butler, Hiri, exchanged glances, their eyes gleaming with excitement. Hiri voice trembling with emotion, exclaimed, "I have served the Baruch Clan for three generations, and finally, the Baruch Clan has produced a Saint Realm expert!"
The Saint Realm is a completely new level.
If a family possesses a Saint Realm, as long as the Saint Realm exists, that family will never decline.
"Wharton," Lin Feng looked at Wharton, "I've been keeping track of your affairs since I was in the Northwest Province. You seem to resemble that Seventh Princess of the royal family."
Wharton nodded honestly. "Yes, brother. I really want to marry Nina, but things are complicated right now. Kailan just gave up not long ago, and then Blumer showed up."
Seeing Wharton's troubled expression, Lin Feng smiled calmly and said boldly, "Don't worry, Wharton, even if I have to forcibly take her, I will get her for you."
With Lin Feng's current strength, even Fain is no match for him. As long as the War God doesn't personally intervene, no one in Chiyan City will be a match for Lin Feng.
"It's not that I'm trying to boost morale, it's just that I'm really not very confident," Wharton said, troubled. "I really don't know what I'll do if Nina is betrothed to Blumer."
Wharton could not accept that result.
Lin Feng said confidently, "Wharton, I mean what I say, so don't worry. I guarantee your Nina won't be taken away by Blumer."
"Damn it, if that emperor dares to do this, we brothers will just snatch that imperial princess and make her your woman," Gates shouted.
The entire living room fell silent instantly.
Wharton looked at Gates in surprise, then at Lin Feng: "Brother, who is this?"
It was only then that Lin Feng realized that he was so excited to be reunited with his younger brother that he had been so focused on talking to him that he had forgotten to introduce Sessler and the others.
"Ha ha"
Lin Feng stood up. "Wharton, have all the servants leave. The waiters outside should also withdraw." Lin Feng was already preparing to introduce his people to Wharton and the others.
We're all on the same side; there's no need to hide anything.
"I understand." Although Wharton didn't know what Lin Feng wanted to say, he immediately followed Lin Feng's instructions and dismissed all the servants and guards.
Lin Feng first walked up to Jenny, Rebecca, and their two sisters, and sighed, "Wharton, our mother was forcibly abducted by the Radiant Church because her soul was pure. Lina and Rebecca were abducted for the same reason."
Wharton was deeply moved upon hearing this.
"I also rescued them when I was in the Northwest Province. Wharton, you must treat these two girls like your older and younger sisters," Lin Feng instructed.
Wharton nodded.
"As for this one," Lin Feng walked to Sessler's side. Wharton and the others trembled at the sight of Sessler. Just looking at his skeletal figure and those green-glowing eyes was enough to terrify them.
"This is Mr. Sessler, the ninth-level necromancer archmage, and also the oldest among us, over eight hundred years old this year."
As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, Wharton, the butler Hiri, Hillman, and Nade were all surprised.
Necromancy —this is a legendary mage, and a level nine necromancer archmage at that. Keep in mind, becoming a mage is far more difficult than becoming a warrior; mages require the highest level of mental strength, while warriors don't need as much.
For example, the mental strength of an eighth-level mage surpasses that of Saint Warrior.
While Saint Warrior may possess relatively strong mental fortitude, in terms of sheer numbers, a mage of the same level possesses a mental strength a hundred times, or even more, than a warrior of the same level.
"Over eight hundred years old? I remember, before reaching the Saint Realm, the human lifespan limit is five hundred years," the steward, Hiri, suddenly said.
Life in the Saint Realm is incredibly long and enduring, but those who don't reach the Saint Realm cannot possibly live past five hundred years.
"Haha," Sessler's aged voice rang out, "You're talking about normal people. Let me tell you, mages who cultivate the three top-tier magics— Fate Law, Life Magic, Necromancy —all have extremely long lifespans. Among them Necromancy have the longest lifespans."
Sessler gave the crowd a sinister look. "If any of your old folks are dying, you can come to me. For Lin Feng's sake, I can completely transform you into Corpse Demon, granting you immortality."
Immortality?
This is the goal pursued by countless people. However, the body of Corpse Demon is clearly a type of "undead".
Wharton, Ciri the Hiri, Hillman, and the others could only manage a forced smile. They were genuinely a little intimidated by a necromancer archmage.
"Sessler." Lin Feng looked at Sessler with displeasure.
A glint of green light flashed in Sessler's eyes, and he chuckled, "Just kidding with your brother and the others. Transforming into Corpse Demon isn't as easy as it seems."
Lin Feng shook his head and walked up to the Barker Five Brothers.
"It's finally our turn." Gates deliberately puffed out his chest, Wharton Wharton and the others' eyes lit up. Each of the Barker Five Brothers was as tall as Wharton and much stronger. Especially when they took down the five giant axes that were placed to the side. They were clearly super-heavy weapons.
"Wharton, the Armand clan, have you heard of them?" Lin Feng looked at his younger brother.
"The Armand clan? Could it be Undying Warrior Family?" Wharton's eyes lit up as he said.
Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's right. Barker, Ankh, Hazer, Boone, and Gates, those five brothers are members of the Armand clan, and all five of them are Undying Warrior."
"They're all Undying Warrior?" Wharton was taken aback, Hiri and Hillman beside him were also shocked.
Being a member of the Armand clan is different from being Undying Warrior.
After all, Hogg, although a member of the Dragonblood Warrior Clan, is not Dragonblood Warrior. It is very rare for a Ultimate Warrior Clan to produce a genius with the ability to transform into Ultimate Warrior.
"Yes." Lin Feng nodded.
The Barker Five Brothers were quite proud to see the surprised expressions on Wharton's and his friends' faces.
"The Armand clan has declined drastically; they even lost the <Undying Secret Manual>. Fortunately, Cesar helped them," Lin Feng remarked. "Of the five brothers, including Wharton, Buck, Barker, and Gates, Barker, Ankh, and Gates have all reached level nine. The other two are also at the peak of level eight."
"Level nine!" Wharton was taken aback.
"Brother, what do you mean?"
"Yes, after their transformations, all three of them possess the strength of the Saint Realm expert," Lin Feng said with a smile.
Wharton, Hillman, the butler Hiri, and Nade all felt a surge of excitement and exhilaration. They were already excited when they learned that Lin Feng possessed Saint Realm strength, but they never expected that three more Saint Realm would suddenly appear.
Four Saint Realm!
What terrifying power.
Confidence!
With complete confidence, Wharton, who had been worried about how to fight Blumer and his group, felt like a Wharton suddenly possessing millions of gold coins now that his older brother had arrived with a large group of people.
"Lord Hogg, did you see it? Did you see it?" Hillman kept saying excitedly.
If Hogg were still alive, he would surely be very happy to see this scene today.
