Chapter 551 (2/2)

Before his voice trailed off, he heard Becky screamed on the other end of the communicator. “Oh no, that’s my century-old imperial mead! My ale… My table! My… My foot—you stepped on my foot!”

It turned out that using the space-time portal installed in the basement to teleport five hundred persons was not a good idea, even if this basement belonged to a local parvenu. Hao Ren’s plan had a lot of shortcoming and there was mess going on on Becky’s side.

A few years later, only a handful of witnesses would remember that the ‘alien allies’ who had saved Holletta were drunk and crawling out of the basement, with a red-eyed Countess chasing from behind…

Anyway, all activities organized by Hao Ren basically would turn into a drama like this.

Meanwhile, the welcoming team waiting outside the manor was all dumbfounded; as the soldiers, preselected by Ophra and the pope, lining up to welcome their alien guests, bunch of elves scambled out of the mansion as soon as the door was open. Ophra, as if she had expected this, sighed before whispering to her aide beside her. “Go and call the record officer. I’ll need to talk to him about the welcoming script.”

The welcoming team dispatched by Holletta official outside Becky’s manor could only look on as waves of elves scrambled out from the house. The pope whispered to Ophra, asking if these elves were members of the First Born experts as the entire elven team appeared to be more like the crowd at train stations during the Spring Festival. What Hilda had brought were engineers and technicians, not trained soldier—they possessed professional skills, but not good at queuing in order, so when they came out from the portal, it appeared chaotic. But fortunately, the situation was quickly under control under the guidance of several team leaders. The elven technicians were finally organized into teams and head counting began. Meanwhile, Hao Ren, Hilda and several others who had just been teleported from the dark snowfield were coming out from the back of the groups.

Becky, looking traumatized, followed Hao Ren from behind and complanined. “My wine… my wine…”

Lily patted her on the shoulder and said, “You’re saving the world, don’t harp over the little thing. Remember, you are the chief ticket issuer of Holletta transit station of Space Administration. At worse, you can always talk the king into giving you a new batch of wine.”

Hao Ren led Big Beardy and Hilda before Ophra and others. After a moment of obligatory casual exchange, he introduced the team he had brought along and Hilda to Ophra. “This is the queen of Aerymian elves, Queen Hilda. She is willing to give you a helping hand. Her excavation team will undertake the operation of this mission.

Ophra had not expect a queen would personally lead the team here, but she was quick to react as her hand crossed her chest and said, “It’s an honor to meet you, your Majesty the Queen from the otherworld. Please accept my apology if there is an oversight; we have never had this kind of…diplomatic experience in our world.”

Hilda nodded reservedly and gracefully. “There’s no need for extra formality. I come on the invitation of the Sun King. Just treat me like any other ordinary guest. Everything is decided by the Sun King.”

Ophra was startled. “The Sun… King? Where is he?”

Hao Ren held his head high and winked but All his expressions had not attracted Ophra’s attention. He finally could not help but say, “It’s right here! I am the Sun… No, I mean, I am the king!”

Ophra and the pope were both stunned. The marshal looked at Hao Ren in surprise. “You didn’t tell me before?”

Judging from her reaction, it must be the fault of Hao Ren’s appearance which was so inconsistent the honorific. It lacked realism. Hao Ren nodded with self-aware. “Okay, okay, I know I look somewhat different from the title. Let’s cut the cackle and get down to business. Are all the preparations done?”

Ophra smiled. “You have to believe in our mobilization ability, at least in terms of evacuation ability. Forget about the residents, we’ve even evacuated the wild animals around the seals…”

Hao Ren nodded and looked in the direction of Hilda. “Then let’s wait for the bigwigs to finish talking. Get ready for work!”
