Chapter 171 (2/2)
O'brie's eyes fell on Donne: ”I just wanted to ask you... Who are you?”
Donne smiled faintly and said, ”I'm Donne, Lord of Ellington.”
”Lord Ellington?”
O'brie frowned: ”there's still a lord in that place - Oh! Wait! I remember. Victor made an exception and appointed a Lord a while ago. Should it be you?”
If his son hadn't gone there, oberli almost didn't know that there was another place in the Empire - as a general in command of the army, he would ignore Ellington, which shows how weak the sense of existence of the territory is.
Victor, the boy
Donne's mouth was a man who married the (former) princess!
Call the king's brother-in-law so casually
”Yes, it's me.”
”You... Make me curious.”
Oberli's eyes seemed to want to penetrate Donne's disguise and dig out the truth behind it. However, to his disappointment, Donne looked like an ordinary person, without any power fluctuation.
There are only three possibilities. First, he is really an ordinary person. Second, he uses some magic equipment to hide his strength. Third, his strength has surpassed himself too much
The instinctive vigilance at the beginning has shown that he is not an ordinary person, but he is so young, how can oberli admit that his strength is much better than himself
Therefore, the only explanation is that he used some kind of magic equipment to hide his power.
”I'm just a lord who wants to do my duty. There's nothing special.”
Donne looked at aubury very calmly.
After Albury stared at him for a moment, his attention was again focused on Elsa.
At the moment, parola is holding the embarrassed Elsa to talk about warm words, trying to shorten the distance between her granddaughter and her granddaughter as soon as possible. Unfortunately, Elsa is too embarrassed, so she doesn't realize parola's good intentions at all.
”So you are my granddaughter.”
O'brie snorted and found a very bad excuse to insert the topic: ”why didn't that guy come this time? He just let you come back alone?”
”I'm not alone...”
Elsa said weakly, ”Lord, they are with me...”
Does this guy have a bad brain?
”I know! I mean, why didn't he come back with you?”
”Father, he wants to stay and take care of his mother, and he has his own things to do.”
Facing her aggressive grandfather, Elsa soon calmed down and looked stubbornly at obery.
”Take care of your mother? She... Hum.”
O'brie wanted to say something, but parola next to him kicked him hard and kicked his words back.
O'brie stifled his words, took a breath and asked, ”is there anything your father told you to come to us?”
Elsa handed out Alberton's letter.
Kevin, who has been unable to insert words next to him, immediately became anxious as soon as he saw the letter. If he expected it well, I'm afraid this letter will forcibly change his original happy fate!
But... With the letter in his hand, what can he do?
Kevin regretted that he knew they were coming to the foal family. He should have killed them by any means when he was in morning fog!
Unfortunately, everything is late.
After reading the letter silently, obery handed it to parola, and then looked at Elsa with very complicated eyes.
Elsa's heart bristled when he looked at her.
”Your father hasn't given up yet...”
Obery shook his head and suddenly said, ”do you know what he came back to me for last time?”
Of course Elsa doesn't know.
”He did it for you.”
Oberli said faintly, ”he hopes I can pass the family heirloom blood soul stone to you.”
Blood soul stone? What's that?
Elsa looked confused, but Kevin nearby heard it, but almost spit blood with envy.
He once heard his grandfather talk about the blood soul stone, which is a treasure handed down by foal's family. After wearing it, it can almost be equivalent to an immortal body. He is not afraid of assassins. Not only that, the special power of the blood soul stone is also helpful to cultivation and is very powerful.
This treasure should be passed on to her!?
”But I refused his request.”
O'brie continued, ”do you know why?”
Elsa moved her lips and said nothing.
”Just say what you want to say.”
”Can you finish it in one breath?”
Elsa said, ”if you know I don't know anything, don't ask me again... I'm stupid.”
Obery was so dark that he almost fell to the ground.
Donne can't laugh or cry, this girl... How stupid?
