Rise of the Blood Sovereign

83  Khiemon

Lyle looked to the side as all the people from the caravan had gone to find out about what was happening. Even Ulon had gotten out of the carriage together with a slim young man that looked to be no older than 16.

They had both disguised themselves and had blended in with the others perfectly, even Lyle was having a hard time keeping track of them thanks to their disguises. Both men had managed to get out of the carriage without being seen by anyone else thanks to the commotion that had taken place.

From what Lyle could see, Ulon seemed to be quite interested in what was happening as well as he was moving closer to the inn where people were talking about the event that had transpired recently.

It was mere minutes later that everyone had managed to find out what had happened, including Lyle.

The current leader of the Khilmen, the man that was considered to be one of the most talented human beings ever, Khiemon had reached a higher realm.

After years of the world being stuck in the same place with the five overlords beings the most powerful beings that could dominate any other enemy, it had now finally changed.

With Khiemon reaching the highest current realm of the world, he had pretty much brought the Khilmen up from being one of the powerful forces of the world to one of the most powerful forces.

Even though he had only now just reached the realm, and was without a doubt the weakest out of the six, he was still incredibly powerful and none except for the other five could defeat him.

From what was told, it seemed that Khiemon was actually planning on going through the evolution right before the system had arrived to the planet.

Upon sensing the change the world was going through, he had a crazy idea.

Go through the evolution right now when the mana was rising and the very fabric of reality was changing for the planet. It was an almost suicidal plan that could have very likely killed him, but after weeks of persevering, he was able to evolve and rise to the very top of the world.

Ulon himself was shocked to the core to hear of Khiemon evolving. He was a being that even before his evolution stood far above the empire, and luckily for them, the empire was on very good terms with the Khilmen, which meant that Khiemon evolving would only be a good thing.

As for Lyle, even though he was shocked as well, he was currently busy with something else.

He stood near the body of the dead bear and was currently filling up his third jar with the bear's blood.

Nobody was paying any attention to him or the monster, which proved to be a great chance for him to get as much blood as he could.

He was able to get 5 large jars in the end and had to stop as it was becoming more and more dangerous to continue filling the jars up. Less and less people were in awe of the news and it was a matter of time before they would all stop paying attention to them.

That was just how people are.

The news received were groundbreaking and something that would change the current power dynamics of the world, but it had nothing to do with their small empire, and would barely have any effects on them, so there was no need for them to worry too much about the whole thing.

Ulon and the slim man had disappeared some 4 seconds after Lyle had stopped filling up the jars with blood.

They had left the bear's body to the caravan leader, who was going to sell it and then give the required amount of money to Ulon. Ulon had previously told the merchant of how much money he wants to get from the bear, anything above that price would be the merchant's.

That made the man smile as he knew that it was a chance for him. Ulon had given him a price that was quite close to the market price of the bear, and it would be up to the merchant and his own skills to sell it for more and get profit.

It was a kind of challenge for the man who was seemingly on quite good terms with Ulon and the rest of the men as even the Silver Knights were quite cordial with him.

'A group of Bronze Knights whose leader is a peak Bronze Knight with incredible powers, three Silver realm combatants, of which one was a mid-grade Silver Mage with great spells and a mysterious Silver Mage that has powerful anti-detection spells, are these people the hidden force of Iodel Song, or perhaps Ulon himself?' Lyle asked himself as he glanced at them.

Him not knowing any of them meant that they were either hidden deeply before, or that they were simply not powerful until a short while ago. He leaned more on the first option as all of them were quite young and very talented to have reached such realms right away.

Lyle knew a lot about Iodel Song and how the man had hidden himself deeply before reaching the Golden Knight realm.

The man that was seemingly nothing special and could be grouped in with people that had average talent was never on bad terms with his family, even though all the noble families were brutal thanks to the question of who would get what position and how much power.

His parents, and the rest of the family had been quite supportive of him throughout his life, which was something that confused everyone before Iodel showed his true powers a while ago.

He had taken insults for years, he was underestimated and hated by his peers, and he took it all with a smile as he knew just how strong he truly was.

A man that could do that for so long was not simple, and it was obvious to Lyle and many more that he was one that planned in the long-term, which was definitely the case when it came to the new forces that Lyle had just seen.

They were nothing special in the great scheme of things as Iodel had many more people under him that were more powerful, but their talent was something else entirely.

For Ulon to be here, Lyle wondered if this was all a big test for them, for Ulon to see just how they acted in battle and for them to gain more experience when it came to fighting against a large number of monsters.

Even if he didn't really care, Lyle was pretty much forced to be on the lookout when it came to the Song family.

With him getting the family crest of the Song family, he was already involved in whatever Iodel planned.

Him getting the crest was definitely not something the city lord had done on a whim. Lyle suspected that he knew his true identity, which although was incredibly hard to be found, was possible when taking into consideration the power of the Song family and the authority Iodel possessed in it.

"Master, should we go?" Adam suddenly asked Lyle as he arrived with their pay. He had taken both of their wages from the merchant that had been leading the caravan and had returned to Lyle.

"Yeah, let's take a walk, we will find a nice place to stay in during our time here." Lyle smiled at Adam before patting him on the back.

The two went around the inn where the caravan had stayed in before walking through the streets of Orsvald.

To compare Orsvald to the previous two cities the two had been in was impossible. The sheer size of the city, the wide streets through which carriages and horses moved constantly and the number of different shops it had were all staggeringly larger compared to any place Adam had previously been to.

The roads were created with stones, and the stones were all about 2 meter in length and width. They were perfectly placed on the ground and there was not even a millimeter of space between them, making it very easy to not only take a carriage through the streets, but to walk on it as well.

The shops that one could see all had a second or third floor, and there were many restaurants as well that could be seen.

Lyle and Adam took a seat in a nearby restaurant first.

It was a relatively low-class restaurant in the city, but it was still miles above any similar ones in smaller cities.

Many adventurers and mercenaries could be seen sitting in the restaurant as well, which made the two being present in their combat gear nothing special. That was the main reason why Lyle had chosen this restaurant for the two of them to sit in. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

As they sat down and ordered, Lyle was observing all the people that were present before biting into his food.

Ok, small change, this is the real last chapter for Volume 1
