Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1565: Magic Runes?

In the Fletcher Kingdom, anyone addressed as ’Highness’ is undoubtedly a prince under the emperor of the Fletcher Kingdom.

The Fletcher Kingdom, as a ’Six-tier Saint Kingdom,’ naturally has strong foundations, far exceeding those of the Moon Radiance Sect, which is a Seven-tier Sect.

The Moon Radiance Sect has only a few powerhouses at the Saint Realm, and they are all the weakest of their kind.

But in a top Six-tier power like the Imperial Family of the Fletcher Kingdom, there are at least dozens of Saint Realm powerhouses, among them many who are highly powerful.

Wyatt Barnes didn’t bother to destroy the bodies of those bandits because he deemed it unnecessary.

In Wyatt’s eyes, that group of bandits was merely comparable to an eighth-tier power’s gang.

An eighth-tier power was hardly worth his attention.

So, he didn’t waste time and effort to destroy the bodies.

However, Wyatt could never have imagined that the ’big boss’ of such an eighth-tier bandit group would somehow be connected to the Imperial Family of such a Six-tier Saint Kingdom like the Fletcher Kingdom.

If he had realized this, he certainly wouldn’t have spared the effort.

Everybody makes mistakes at some point in their lives.

Unintentionally, Wyatt made the mistake of underestimating his enemy.

Of course, at this point, Wyatt is unaware of this; he is still on his journey to the capital city of the Fletcher Kingdom.

"With my speed, I should arrive at the Fletcher Kingdom’s capital tomorrow."

Wyatt, traveling on a flying sword, thought to himself.

Meanwhile, almost at the same time, at the hideout of the bandit gang that Wyatt had taken out, the leader was also preparing to head to the Fletcher Kingdom’s capital with Wyatt’s portrait.

If Wyatt saw this portrait, he would undoubtedly be surprised because it bore a remarkable resemblance to him.

If someone who had seen the portrait were to see him, they would easily recognize him at a glance.

"Big brother, the promise the Fourth Highness made to you, it’s what you spent most of your life earning... Are you really going to use it on the third brother?"

In the span of a few days, the scholarly middle-aged man, the ’Second Family Head,’ had calmed down considerably. Before the elder set off, he couldn’t help but ask.

"Second brother, stop saying such things in the future; I don’t like to hear them."

The elder said in a deep voice.

"Big brother, if the third brother knew about what you’re doing here from beyond, he would certainly be very pleased."

The middle-aged scholar replied.

"What use is happiness? Once a person dies, it’s like a lamp being extinguished... Enough said, I should be on my way."

As soon as the elder finished speaking, he left.

Watching the elder’s figure depart, it wasn’t until his figure completely disappeared that the middle-aged scholar recovered and murmured to himself: "Big brother, if I were the one who died this time... would you also use up the promise made to you by the Fourth Highness?"

Thinking about it, the middle-aged scholar’s gaze became somewhat dazed.

Fletcher Kingdom, Capital City.

Even though Wyatt had seen the grandeur of Thames River City within the nine sect alliance region, he was still astounded by the capital of the Fletcher Kingdom.

Originally, in his view, compared to Thames River City, the largest cities on the Cloud Sky Continent seemed like ’small villages.’

But upon arriving at the capital of the Fletcher Kingdom, Wyatt further comprehended the meaning of the saying ’there’s always a mountain beyond a mountain’... Compared to the Fletcher Kingdom’s capital, Thames River City was merely like a countryside town, whether in terms of appearance or size, it was insignificant in comparison.

Upon arriving at the capital, Wyatt remained very low-profile as he entered.

Of course, this was also because he had no choice but to be low-profile; approaching the capital of the Fletcher Kingdom, he realized there was a ’forbidden sky formation’ similar to that of the Moon Radiance Sect, but its coverage was broader and its setup more complex.

Once inside the capital, Wyatt immediately found an inn and went inside.

Whether on the Cloud Skies Continent or in the Martial Dao Sacred Land, the places most lively and with the most reliable information were undoubtedly ’inns.’

Wyatt came to the Fletcher Kingdom’s capital not blindly but with specific purposes.

First, he wanted to see if Trevor Baillie had brought Taoi Romero and others to Fletcher Kingdom.

Secondly, he wanted to find out if he could gather information on Julia’s background in the Fletcher Kingdom.

"Julia, at first she didn’t directly tell me the name of the power behind her... Now I wish to find her, but I don’t know where to start."

Wyatt sighed.

The clues Julia left him consisted of only a bunch of fifth-grade holy stones, fourth-grade holy stones, and the fact that her surname was ’Hanson.’

Wyatt was not seeking the power behind Karina Hanson to find a ’patron,’ though he vaguely sensed that the power behind Julia was not ordinary.

His aim was to find his fiancée ’Jovie Lee.’

"Preliminary estimation, the power behind Julia should be a fifth-tier power... most likely a fifth-tier family."

Based on all the information he knew from the past, Wyatt speculated to himself, "Hanson Family, Hanson Clan... This time in the capital city of Fletcher, I’ll focus on investigating this."

As time passed, the wine and dishes Wyatt ordered were also served.

Meanwhile, more and more people were coming into the tavern.

When there are more people, it naturally becomes lively.

At this time, Wyatt Barnes also heard a lot of ’gossip’, but it was all about some aristocratic playboy’s scandals in the Fletcher Kingdom’s capital city.

However, during this process, Wyatt Barnes was secretly astonished.

Because he heard from the surrounding drinkers that even some families in the Fletcher Kingdom’s capital have strength comparable to seventh-tier forces.

In these families, there are more or fewer Saint Realm powerhouses guarding them.

"A family in the capital of the Fletcher Kingdom has strength not less than that of the Moon Radiance Sect."

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes also found that his perspective had been broadened.

In the past, he stayed in the territory of the Nine Sects Alliance, staying in the Moon Radiance Sect, which, although not the strongest, was still a considerable force.

But once he arrived in the capital of the Fletcher Kingdom, he realized that the Moon Radiance Sect was nothing here.

From the families people mentioned, there were three with strength not less than that of Moon Radiance Sect.

And in the region of the Fletcher Kingdom, besides the capital, there were clearly many sixth-tier forces... compared to this, Wyatt Barnes suddenly felt that the structure of the Nine Sects Alliance region was too small, and he was increasingly convinced that coming here was the right decision.

"Have you heard? That oldest young master of the Swayer Family, his condition has been worsening lately... it’s said he might not survive past this month."

Suddenly, a middle-aged man at a table near Wyatt Barnes was saying to another middle-aged man at the same table, trying hard to keep his voice down as if worried about being overheard.

If Wyatt Barnes hadn’t developed ’Saint Veins’ connecting his ears, even with his consummate Entering the Saint Realm cultivation, he might not have heard his voice.

But now, Wyatt Barnes could hear it all clearly.

"The Swayer Family?"

Wyatt Barnes’s heart stirred. Just now, he had heard other drinkers discussing and learned what kind of family the Swayer Family was.

The Swayer Family, in the capital of the Fletcher Kingdom, was also a notable family and had numerous ties with the Fletcher Kingdom imperial family. Rumor had it that the current head of the Swayer Family’s sister was a beloved concubine of the current empire’s emperor.

"The Swayer Family’s oldest young master? Is it the one rumored to be possessed some time ago?"

The other middle-aged man also lowered his voice and asked.

"That’s right, it’s him."

The first man nodded, "Speaking of which, he’s quite unlucky. The emperor had recently bestowed upon him a holy artifact engraved with four-star Saint Markings, and shortly afterward, he got possessed... I say, he was just not blessed enough to enjoy the emperor’s gift."

"It really is bizarre... the imperial family’s Saint Refiners, who are good at alchemy, were unable to figure out what was wrong with him."

The latter added.

"I heard that those Saint Refiners, who are good at alchemy in the imperial family, have checked his body and determined he’s normal, without any abnormalities."

The former said again.

"Perhaps it’s heaven punishing him... but, I heard that the Swayer Family’s oldest young master is a decent person, not like the usual playboys, so why would he be punished by heaven?"

"As the saying goes, good people don’t live long, but scourges live for a thousand years."

"What a pity."

"I heard that the head of the Swayer Family recently issued a bounty again... anyone who can cure the oldest young master of the Swayer Family will not only get a four-star Divine Travel Talisman but also a four-star Golden Armor Talisman."

"Even if they offer a four-star attack Taoist Talisman, nobody might be able to cure that oldest young master of the Swayer Family."

"Indeed. Not to mention anything else, just the black marks similar to a spider that appeared on the oldest young master of the Swayer Family’s forehead after being possessed, no one has been able to identify what they are."

...

The conversation between the two middle-aged men reached Wyatt Barnes’s ears, word by word.

"Black marks similar to a spider?"

Upon hearing their words, Wyatt Barnes raised his brows, and some corresponding information appeared in his mind, which was from the Holy Simplicity given to him by his senior brother Trevor Baillie, recording the inheritance of ’arcane pattern techniques’.

"Could it be... Demon Markings?"

Wyatt Barnes was shocked internally.

Demon Markings are a type of Saint Markings and an extremely esoteric existence.

In the Martial Dao Sacred Land, Demon Markings are generally mastered only by Saint Refiner Demon Cultivators, but the cost is very high, and it is so esoteric that only a few people in the Martial Dao Sacred Land know of its existence.

Moreover, the requirements to inscribe Demon Markings are very high.

The most important thing is, Demon Markings differ from ordinary Saint Markings. It is a kind of sinister Saint Markings if one must categorize it as such - a harmful Saint Markings.

"Earlier, they said that the oldest young master of the Swayer Family encountered this after receiving a holy artifact bestowed by the emperor of the Fletcher Kingdom... and that artifact was even engraved with four-star Saint Markings! Could it be that the emperor of Fletcher Kingdom intends to kill him?"

Thinking of this, Wyatt Barnes shook his head in denial, finding it unlikely.

Since the Swayer Family’s head’s sister is a concubine, the oldest young master of the Swayer Family is also the emperor of Fletcher Kingdom’s nephew. The emperor should not harm him.
