Book 8, The Ten Thousand Kiloht A kid who had lived in a se of six would naturally be very innocent Linley felt that Jenne was quite innocent as well

Through that short conversation, Linley had already learned a great deal about this little fellow, Keane

At the sa on with hiovernor? I’ht to his, Linley could see hest level of city in the O’Brien Empire was the imperial capital, followed by the provincial capitals of the seven provinces Beneath the level of the provincial capitals were the prefectural cities, then ordinary cities, and then countryside villages

The status of a governor of a prefectural city was actually quite high

How could the position of governor of a prefectural city be so easily acquired by an innocent countryside-raised child?

…

After training the entire night, when Linley next opened his eyes, it was already dawn

“Lord Ley, by nightfall tonight, we should be at the border cities of the Eether”

“Alright”

Linley and Bebe headed over to theh for hie of Magical Beasts and only returned after having eaten a good, full e not too far away froet off first” Keane happily hopped off the carriage

Lambert looked at Keane, who had not a care in the world He shook his head mentally, and then looked at Jenne Lambert knew very well how innocent and how kind Jenne was

“Miss, don’t rush off just yet” Lambert squeezed out a smile

“Grandpa Laly at La eyes

Lambert said, “Miss, you saell hoe met with bandits on the way When we reach the border cities, we’ll have to separate fro with you and the young master will be all alone on the road If we ht not be able to overcome them”

Jenne couldn’t help but to think back to that bloody scene of attacking bandits froht Then what should we do?” Jenne was a bit nervous

Lahed “Miss, didn’t you notice that Lord Ley? Even the leader of those bandits was killed by Lord Ley with a single sword stroke As long as Lord Ley is willing to protect you, you definitely won’t be in any danger”

Jenne was eighteen years old, after all She wasn’t as irresponsible as Keane

“Grandpa Lambert, if I try to invite a powerful coree?” Jenne looked at Laly “Don’t worry Just tell hiovernor of the prefectural city of Cerre [Chi’er], and that this tiovernorship If he can guard you on your way back, once you arrive at Cerre, you will definitely thank and reward him heavily Remember…don’t tell hi in a se Just tell him what I told you now”

Lambert knew very well that if Linley became aware of the details of their situation, he probably wouldn’t agree

“Oh”

Jenne didn’t even notice that there were soht differences between the truth and what Lambert had just instructed her to say

“Go, and reed

“Okay” Jenne nodded Taking a deep breath, she su Jenne leave the carriage, Lahed “Alas Mada to s your anger You insisted on having Jenne and Keane go assuovernor Lord Count Wade [Wei’de] is already dead, but the senior madame probably won’t so easily allow Keane to assuovernor”

“If we had a coh, then ill have a good chance” Late at night, Lambert had heard others whisper that McKinley had already reached the eighth rank as a warrior But Linley had been able to easily kill him in one blow As Lambert saw it, Linley should therefore be a warrior of the ninth rank

……

The as blowing After eating to his content, Linley was relaxing coain soon

“The O’Brien E on his cart, lazily awaiting their departure But right at this moment, from the corner of his eyes, Linley suddenly saw so

“Jenne?” Linley sat up curiously

So Linley sit up and look at her, Jenne forced out a small smile “Lord Ley, hello”

“Miss Jenne, hello” Linley was a bit confused Why had this Miss Jenne come?

Jenne just stood there hesitantly for ahow to start

“Miss Jenne, is there so I can help you with?” Linley asked preehtly red Clearly, she was very nervous “Lord Ley, it’s like this My younger brother and I are journeying toto assuovernor But we’re afraid that the journey to the city will be dangerous Therefore, ere hoping…hoping to ask you, Lord Ley, to protect us”

Getting this all out in one breath, Jenne began to staeneral geography of the O’Brien Eer brother, Wharton, was in the southernmost administrative province of the O’Brien Empire, known as the O’Brien Administrative Province

Linley himself currently was in the Northwest Administrative Province of the O’Brien Empire

From the northwest province to the southernmost province was a journey that would most likely take a year and a half or so But of course, if Linley hurried along the way by riding on the Blackcloud Panther, he could cross a thousand kilometers per day and arrive within ten days

But Linley was in no rush

His younger brother was in school at the O’Brien Acadeht now, thehis own strength as ?” Linley asked with a laugh

“Not too long,” Jenne hurriedly said “The city of Cerre is in the Northwest Administrative Province From here to there, it should only take us around ten days or half a et there, I will definitely thank you and reward you heavily”

“Thank and rewardto himself Based on Linley’s experience, he knew very well, how could the position of city governor of a prefectural city be so easily taken by a pair of innocent siblings who had no powerful backers at all?

“We’ll give you lots of gold coins” Jenne looked hopefully at Linley

Jokingly, Linley said, “Oh? How old coins? What do you think?” Jenne had been living in the village since she was ten Norold coins could last for quite a while in a place like that She knew that the prefectural city was a wealthy place, and she believed that although ten thousand gold coins was an astronoure, the prefectural city should be able to support it

“Ten thousand gold coins?”
