Chapter 177 - 172: Lady Elin! (1/2)
######
Red sun city.
Millions of miles away from western warlords palace, dozens of armed group of knights floating around a jet black haired lady could be spotted outside the city.
” Lady Elin! What sort of guest are there which would require your presence to welcome them? ”
An old person who appears to be in his seventies had bowed his back asking while asking his lady in a curious tone.
” A friend! ”
She replied him with a clear smile over her face.
” Still this old alone is enough to welcome that one! With lady's reputation even Kings of countries had to stand in line to receive my lady, what qualifications does your friend have to make our lady receive them personally? ”
His tone though it wasn't offensive, nor had he shown disrespect to lady Elin, the fact that he could openly converse with her shows the position he had in her heart.
Though the person appears old and weak, suited in butler robes with round circular glasses on him, there was more than what it meets to the eyes, as his aura was different.
The aura released by this person was devastating, stronger than any aura emperor in existence as he had long since broke through that realm to enter transcendence.
Not just him, but the tall muscular head Knight in grey hair, over Lady Elin's left has an aura which was no lesser compared to him.
” Bardos! How dare you question her ladyship? ”
The head Knight unsheathed his heavy sword pointing it over the butlers neck and glared at his eyes in a threatening manner.
Boom!
Bardos swung his black cane and pushed the heavy sword, releasing his breathtaking aura which caused the knights around to frighten in his presence.
” Mordok! Dare you point your sword towards this old butler? ”
Head Knight Mordok was about to swing his heavy sword for the next time but lady Elin swung her rapier in a flash and beat their palms with its flat surface and made the weapons to fall off their hands, putting an end to their fight in a flash!
” Do you still have your lady in your eyes? Guests are about to arrive and you are fighting internally putting me at shame! ”
Hearing the harsh words of their lady, both bowed down in apology, yet they couldn't help but glare at each other eyes cursing the other party internally for becoming a doll before their lady's eyes.
She then looked at the side of a mountain peak with smile, above which a giant dragon of two hundred meters long could be spotted.
It slowly made its way to lady Elin ultimate stopping few meters away from her.
Within seconds several hundreds of giant dragons were landed before them frightening the knights who were present before them.
Giant dragon were creatures of aura emperor cultivation by birth and were difficult to subdue and the one which exceeds hundred meters they have entered transcendent state!
Totally a group of nine hundred giant dragons followed by three larger ones were landed before them.
If it was just that Mordok and Bardos wouldn't be startled as them with their lady Elin and knights were capable of forcing this herd back but what startled them was the ones riding above them.
A woman of mid thirties accompanied by two young ladies of late teens were leading this giant dragon herd, on which several aura emperor powerhouses were acting as their partners to dragons making this group a serious threat to be reckoned with.
” Elin! I need your help! ”
The brown haired woman in mid thirties thirties opened her mouth and the first thing she said was to ask for help.
” This woman... Does she know what courtesy means? How could she ask for help at first sight? Her ethics betrays her outer elegance! ”
Bardos grimaced internally, and the impression of his lady's friend had hit rock bottom in his eyes.
The knights and butlers over her back had ugly expressions, looking at the person over giant dragon who doesn't know the word called courtesy!
If a strong force of a giant dragon herd was not powerful enough and requires help, how strong would their enemy be to ask their ladyship help?
Wasn't it asking their lady ship to help them with unknown risk for them?
But contrary to his thoughts, Elin made a small chuckle after hearing this request from her friend with this awkward moment and said.
” Gilda! Why don't you accompany your friend to a tea, we have a lot more to... ! ”
Before she could complete her words Gilda stepped down her mount, appeared before her in a snap, caught both of Elin's arms and said
” It's about him! ”
All of a sudden, lady Elin shuddered after hearing those words. She then turned back with a self of urgency looking at her trusted subordinates and exclaimed
” Mordok! Assemble our entire Knight ȧssembly! ”
” Bardos! Ready our skilled butlers and maids... We are heading out! ”
######
Main house hall, Milton's palace.
Fourteen luxurious throne like seats were placed in the main hall, around the round table, four in an upper circle and ten a little behind them in lower portion.
Though all seats were filled, the one at front facing the north of the room was left empty and few members in the room gave a contemplating gazes of it and sighed internally at they predicted it to be!
” How long has it been? Ten years... twenty years... I don't remember it correctly, well... Why have I been summoned to the main hall? ”
An old man in late nineties, extremely frail body, wrinkle filled face and with a small hump on his back said nonchalantly.
His expression was completely playful, unlike the demeanour an old ancestor of Milton house should have, and his status in Milton was extremely high which could be proved by the fact that he was presented with the west seat of upper circle.
He looked extremely lively despite the fact that he was called out of reclusion, because main hall meetings occur rare and each time it does, it changes entire structure of Milton house hold as a whole.
” Old ancestor... it's about lord north! ”
A black haired middle aged person In lower seat stood up and cupped his hands before bowing down a little to answer his old ancestor's question.
” Oh! That little brat! What happened, why isn't he attended this rare meeting? ”
Waving his hand down wards, the old ancestor asked out only to get serious by looking at his descendent that was trying to evade his face from making contact.
” Old ancestor... lord north, lord north had passed away in a battle against the calamities! ”
Immediately following it, the atmosphere in the room chilled down a bit, and the main hall started shuddering violently along with the entire palace by the aura emitted from the old ancestor.
” Calamities? Which one exactly? ”
Hearing that a cherished descendent of him had passed away, the old man's playful smile disappeared which was instantly replaced by a surge of raging aura out his body which almost made the ones in the lower circle squat down to ground by an irresistible pressure.
” Old ancestor, appease your anger! ”
” Old ancestor, appease your anger! ”
Unable to breath well under this old ancestors rage, the other two in the upper circle stood up pleading their ancestor to go easy on his descendants.
” This old man's great grand child died to the calamities... Which one was it? I'll skin that damn monster alive! ”
He raged his last words in anger which showed the importance he placed over the lord north.
” Sea king of raging storm, Anancula! ”
Hearing that Anancula had killed his cherished descendent, the old man gave a snort and roared.
” That damn tortoise! When did it for guts to lay it's hand over my descendents? ”
If not for the pact between Himonculus and this old man, I would long since have stewed that old tortoise to death!
Damn, should I know that such a thing would happen today, I would had killed that damn thing a couple centuries ago, regardless of the consequences! ”
With a face full of anger the old ancestor clenched his fist in regret thinking about the past where he had the chance to kill that Anancula before!
” Stew the Anancula? Only old ancestor in our household would probably have the guts to say it so! ”
Lord south who appeared a cultured man in early seventies thought internally.
” Poor little brat, he just left behind a pair of daughters for me to pamper, if an additional pack of son was added or would had been better! Atleast our fourth lineage wouldn't had extinguished! ”
In a sobbing tone, old ancestor muttered out which gave the southern lord to state the second matter for today's meet.
Southern Lord who was the head of information department for Milton's had access to all information he could gather, so when the topic of heir was popped up he stood up before his grand father and exclaimed.
” Lord west! the second matter we were to discuss is about the heir of lord north! ”
” Heir? ”
Old ancestor got elated after hearing this matter and turned towards his grand son, the lord south, and asked ” Repeat your words grand son! ”
Southern lord gave a chuckle and said
” Lord north seems to fancy a woman and kept us in dark, it was only after did he disappear, his heir popped out! ”
Seeing the appearance of an heir at such a suspicious time, old ancestor gave a frown and questioned.
” Is he really his heir? Have you investigated the credibility of his existence? ”
Looking at the eagerness on his grand father's face, lord south gave a laugh before exclaiming.
” Lord North's heir was found on the shore nearest to the battle lord north participated! ”
” Later he was saved by a tiny local force on the surroundings and got saved by them, and was sent to their western branch to recuperate! ”
He paused for a bit before taking a deep breath and exclaimed.
” Upon further investigation, we have found the involvement of church, cursed undead, beast men and abyss devils! ”
” Lord north son had definitely inherited his father's genes as he single handedly killed an abyss demon all by himself and saving a royal princess in the process! ”
Listening to these matters, even the ignorant ones in the lower seats were startled as even the weakest abyss devil had an cultivation of half step aura emperor with the battle powers of an emperor class itself!
So when they found the heir of north lord to be so potential, they gasped in surprise and imagined the possibility of a new north lord from him.
