Chapter 872 Entering The Grand Welcoming Hall
Princess Isabella nodded her head while looking at the so-called captain of the Brilliant Flame Corps in front of them. He looked like he blocked their way while standing like a wall, but he bowed before he moved aside, making way for them.
His purple eyes were filled with a kind of respect and awe when he looked at the Conferred Queen. However, when his senses discovered the undulations is the big magical beast, the Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf, he became stunned into silence.
’I-Its a King-Tier Magical Beast!?’ His eyes shook.
The surrounding people who managed to sense a mighty yet dormant undulation while seeing its uniqueness also became shocked. They didn’t expect to see such a sight because since the Conferred Queen was said to possess an unknown dragon’s bloodline, they were prepared to see an impure-blood dragon or even a mixed-race dragon.
They never thought that they would feast their eyes on a King-Tier Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf!
Nadia had already withdrawn her undulations. If she pressured them with her undulations, they would become unable to stand and drop to their knees. However, she was aware that doing so would cause some problems, so she didn’t.
She didn’t showcase it, nor did she do something as completely concealing her undulations. As a King-Tier Magical Beast, she intrinsically wanted others to know of her stature.
By the side, Claire sent Logan a soul transmission and slightly giggled, causing Logan to fiercely look at the Brilliant Flame Corps’s captain when they passed by him. Apparently, the captain was someone who pursued Claire in the past but backed out because of fear of offending some people.
’Hmph! Coward...’ Logan snorted in derision.
He felt that the captain of the Brilliant Flame Corps wasn’t even fit to become his rival, not that he wanted one in the first place.
As Princess Isabella and the others approached the elevated platform that seemed to be in the end, they came to see the people who were present, perhaps waiting for them after they got word about their arrival.
Elder Havle Alstreim introduced the fairly important ones while walking as he nodded at them. They were Elders, a few rising geniuses, and a few other geniuses who have already fallen out of the race. They seemed to all have their own story, their eyes flashing with a complicated glint.
Just before the elevated platform, there stood a plethora of people, most of them dressed in grand white robes, possessing an exemplary status and the glorious crests of the Alstreim Family supporting them back.
Claire almost sprang to radiate hostility, but she quickly calmed herself down. However, even if she was calm herself down, she was unable to stop her trembling. Logan quickly reached his hand out and held hers. Only then did Claire completely became soothed.
Honestly, she lamented that she was unable to keep her calm in front of her enemies.
One of them who looked exceptional stood out from the group. It was a man with a dignified demeanor, possessing the same blonde hair and purple eyes, but his pupils seem to have a tinge of pride flashing in it. His facial features consisted of a mustache and a small beard on his chin. It made him look mature on top of being handsome.
He clasped his hand before imperceptibly bowing, "I, Eldric Alstreim, welcomes the Conferred Queen of the Ethren Empire to the Alstreim Family."
Elder Havle Alstreim’s expression slightly froze. It was one thing to mention that she was the ’Conferred Queen’ as that would still come off as respectful, but to say that she was the Conferred Queen of the Ethren Empire is like purposefully downplaying her status. After all, the Ethren Empire is a subordinate empire to the Alstreim Family.
He instantly laughed, "Haha. Conferred Queen, this person is none other than the Patriarch of the Alstreim Family, Eldric Alstreim."
Princess Isabella visibly frowned, "Well received. Everyone addresses me that way. As for my real background..."
She smiled with a teasing glint like a young woman who refused to reveal her age.
’So it comes down to that...’ Elder Havle Alstreim inwardly sighed.
These people never seem to reveal their background. He had never seen such eccentric people who refused to reveal their backgrounds.
Could it be they ran away from their background?
No, it couldn’t be. They were already high-profile enough by hunting down the Million Emerald Vines Calamity, their name spreading around to the Nine Eastern Territories. If it is a big matter in the Nine Eastern Territories, then the mid-sized Territories and the large Territories should also know about it to some degree.
Hence, whatever power they from, that power should’ve already learned about their existence in the Alstreim Family Territory. Elder Havle Alstreim felt that he could place his conspiracy theories up the trash and concentrate on the present situation.
On the other hand, Patriarch Eldric Alstreim gauged Conferred Queen’s disposition. Even though it was said that the Conferred Queen could battle against High-Level Eighth Experts, he still couldn’t believe it. And, once he saw her beauty, he was in deep disbelief.
A woman who had both beauty and brawn at this level? Or it could be appropriate to say that only because of her background and the Million Emerald Vines Calamity’s nectar could she achieve such a result. He couldn’t help but feel envious and lament at the same time.
"Conferred Queen’s strength at her age is envious. I reached the Law Sea Stage at the age of three hundred, and for the remaining seven hundred years, I only managed to reach the High-Level Law Sea Stage and solidified my Essence Gathering Cultivation. If I don’t concentrate on my cultivation, then it is only a matter of time before I truly start to stagnate."
’So the Patriarch is around thousand years old...’ Davis, who walked towards Nadia’s right inwardly mused.
It could be said that he occupied both sides of Nadia because towards the other side was none other than the silent, black-robed Solitary Soul Avatar.
Eldric Alstreim’s talent could be said to be comparable or a little bit greater to Alexi Ethren’s talent in Essence Gathering Cultivation. However, Davis felt Alexi Ethren’s talent in Soul Forging Cultivation should be higher, perhaps because of Old Man Garvin Woller’s genes and Inheritance.
Perhaps, these people all possessed Low-Level Emperor Grade Spirit Root. After all, they start to enter a period of stagnation after entering the Eighth Stage. Nevertheless, Davis possessed no means to find out their talents.
As for him, he felt that he only possessed a Mid-Level Sky Grade Spirit Root. It was mostly because he started to feel that this Essence Gathering Cultivation was beginning to slow down. He was still in the Low-Level Law Manifestation Stage. However, it couldn’t be said that way because he didn’t actively cultivate his Essence Gathering Cultivation by absorbing Mid-Level Spirit Stones.
Actually, who knows? Perhaps his slow cultivation might be because of the uniqueness of the revolving core, and his superior law manifestation. It could just need more energy compared to others.
"Although I might be stronger, I really can’t compare with experience in front of you people..." Princess Isabella shook her head, but inwardly, she didn’t consider them to be big-shots.
Now that she had entered the Martial Sage Stage, her prideful-self shot high above the skies. She would only listen to her imperial father, Davis, and perhaps her current sisters when it comes to advice or other matters!
