Dilia, Level 9 Great Mage
Dilia, dressed in a magnificent robe, disembarked from the ship alongside the wind-elemental Saint Magus, Longers. The three-headed monster behind them, along with the ship's warriors and other magical beasts, followed suit.
"Clang!"
The Imperial Knights lined up in two rows, all raising their lances. These knights were the best selected from the Royal Palace Knights, all of them level seven warriors, with their leader being Eighth-level Warrior.
"Teacher, these warriors of the O'Brien Empire are indeed stronger than those of our Empire; their aura is completely different. Our Imperial Capital is far too decadent," Dilia whispered to her teacher, oblivious to everyone else.
Longers nodded slightly.
As the oldest city, the Imperial Capital of the Yulan Empire was a place where ancient families competed with each other and focused on enjoying life. In contrast, the O'Brien Empire was a nation of warriors, each one fiercely competitive. No wonder it became the world's leading military power.
His Majesty Joanne, accompanied by Lanke, Kenyon, and court attendants, came forward to greet them.
"Delia Ryan, right? Haha!" His Majesty Joan laughed loudly.
Dilia bowed very politely and said, "Dilia, the special envoy of the Yulan Empire, pays her respects to His Majesty Joanne of the Great O'Brien Empire, and on behalf of the Emperor of the Yulan Empire, conveys the sincerest greetings to His Majesty."
"Your Majesty Joanne, this is my teacher, the Saint Magus of Longers," Dilia introduced her mentor with a smile.
His Majesty Joanne looked at Master Longers: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Master Longers."
"It's an honor to meet you, Your Majesty Joanne," Longers said with a smile.
Dilia glanced discreetly at the surrounding nobles, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes. She didn't see the person she wanted to see. Then she said to His Majesty Joanne, "Your Majesty Joanne, these two gentlemen must be great Saint Realm experts, right? Could you introduce them to me?"
In fact, Dilia had collected a lot of information before she came. She had already seen the portraits of Kenyon and Lanke.
The special envoy of the Yulan Empire, Dilia, and the wind-elemental Saint Magus, Longers, entered the Imperial Capital, Chiyan City, with a grand welcome from the O'Brien Empire.
Joanne Majesty Joan, Dilia, Master Longers, Kenyon, Lanke, and others walked at the forefront, followed closely by court attendants, maids, and a large number of powerful knights.
Most of the nobles followed at a distance.
"What a beautiful woman." A group of young nobles gathered in the Imperial Capital. These young noblemen held extremely high positions in the Imperial Capital, including princes and scions of powerful families. They had been well-off since childhood, and especially after forming a group, no one in the Imperial Capital dared to provoke them.
The one speaking at this moment is Kiefer, son of Prince Yulin.
"Her name seems to be Dilia," said a young nobleman nearby. This young nobleman was none other than Scott, the Eighth Imperial Prince of the empire. "So beautiful, so elegant, it's hard to find someone like her even in the Imperial Capital."
Kiefer, Prince Scott, and a large group of spoiled rich kids from the Imperial Capital were making their comments from a distance.
Indeed, Dilia has a charm that attracts them.
Her every move exuded the air of an ancient nobleman, and as a level nine mage, even her walk was graceful. In addition, Dilia had a beautiful face and long, flowing golden hair that was as dazzling as the sun.
Scott sighed, "Dilia, born into the Ryan Clan, was once a student at Ernst Institute, and is now a disciple of the Wind-elemental Saint Magus, Master Longers. In the Imperial Capital the Yulan Empire, she is one of the most prestigious noble ladies, with countless young noblemen pursuing her."
Kiefer Kiefer's eyes lit up as he gazed at Dilia's graceful figure in the distance. "If I could win her over and stay away from other women, I'd be willing to do it."
"Cousin Kiefer, such a big determination?" Scott smiled and glanced at Kiefer.
"Of course!" Kiefer affirmed.
His Majesty Joanne was extremely protective of his own. He cared deeply for his only younger brother, Prince Yulin Joanne, even granting Prince Yulin of the Southeast Province, one of the seven major provinces.
Because of this, Marquis Kiefer naturally also enjoys His Majesty Joanne's favor and holds an exceptionally high position in the Imperial Capital. He and Scott are the leaders of that group of aristocratic playboys.
"Since you're so determined, cousin, I won't fall behind either." Scott smiled confidently. "Kiefer, let's see which of us brothers can win over Miss Dilia."
"Alright." Kiefer nodded, a wicked smile playing on his lips. "If we succeed, it'll be a great honor for the men of our O'Brien Empire. After all, even those noble youths of the Yulan Empire couldn't win over Dilia."
"Miss Dilia, and Master Longers must be tired from your journey. Therefore, I will have someone arrange Dilia you both to rest first. You can attend the welcoming banquet I will host for you this evening. How does that sound?" Longers Joanne stopped at Fushi Road and said to Dilia. The mansions on Fushi Road were all built by the royal family.
The royal family would bestow these mansions upon certain nobles or to entertain guests, and these mansions were generally located on Fushi Road. These mansions were not something that could be purchased simply by having money.
"Then we will proceed as Your Majesty wishes," Dilia said with a smile.
At that moment, Scott and Kiefer quickly approached from behind. They both knew that His Majesty Joanne was about to part ways with Miss Dilia, and they naturally wanted to seize the opportunity.
Given their status, the guards naturally wouldn't stop them.
"Miss Dilia, Master Longers, you must be quite unfamiliar with the Imperial Capital. I will arrange a guide for you," His Majesty Joanne said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Dilia said gratefully.
"Father!" "Your Majesty!" At this moment, Scott and Kiefer Kiefer's eyes lit up, and they immediately called out without hesitation.
When His Joanne An turned around, he saw that it was his own prince and nephew.
"Scott, Kiefer, what's wrong?" His Majesty Joanne is in a very good mood today.
Kiefer stepped forward respectfully and said, "His Majesty is preparing to arrange guides. Scott and I know the Imperial Capital like the back of our hand, and we believe that Miss Dilia will be satisfied with our role as guides."
Upon hearing this, His Majesty Joanne glanced at Kiefer and Scott. How could he not understand what Kiefer and Scott meant?
However, His Majesty Joanne also thought Dilia was quite good, and it would be great if his nephew or son could get his hands on this woman.
"I still need to ask Miss Dilia's opinion." His Majesty Joanne turned to Dilia. "Miss Dilia, what do you think?" Dilia glanced at Scott and Kiefer Kiefer, Scott immediately straightened their backs slightly, adopting a friendly and gentlemanly demeanor. A hint of a smile flashed in Dilia's eyes.
"Then I'll have to trouble you two with Dilia," Dilia said with a slight bow.
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all," Scott and Kiefer said in unison.
Master Longers, standing beside Dilia, smiled slightly. How could he not know his disciple? Back in the Imperial Capital of the Yulan Empire, countless men had pursued Dilia, and with Dilia abilities, she could easily manipulate them.
"Your Excellency, this is where you have been staying in the Imperial Capital for some time," a palace attendant said, pointing to a mansion ahead.
Kiefer, standing nearby, immediately said, "Miss Dilia, this Fushi Road is a very famous road in the Imperial Capital my O'Brien Empire. Several Saint Realm experts reside on this road. For example, our empire's genius sword saint Olivier and her brother also live on Fushi Road. And the even more talented Master Lin Feng and his brother also live on Fushi Road."
Kiefer spoke as he followed them into the mansion.
"Yes, these two geniuses are probably outstanding even in the entire Yulan." Scott chimed in, not to be outdone.
Dilia's eyes lit up when she heard what the two said. Of course, she quickly returned to normal.
"That's not necessarily true." A deep voice rang out from the large bear beside them.
Upon seeing the giant bear, Scott and Kiefer immediately forced a smile. During their greeting, they had heard from others that this bear was the Saint Realm magical beast, the Earth Bear. Saint Realm magical beasts could change size, and the Earth Bear's normal form was over ten meters tall.
One slap would be enough to easily kill them.
"Dilia is amazing. She's only twenty-six years old and already a level nine mage." Big Bear looked at Dilia. "Dilia, don't you think so?"
Dilia smiled slightly but remained silent.
At twenty-seven years old, a level nine mage—that's an absolutely terrifying achievement. At this rate, reaching the Saint Magus before forty is not impossible.
It's important to know that reaching the Saint Realm before the age of forty is absolutely a mark of unparalleled genius.
