Chapter 356: Enemies Meet
After chatting with Aisha for a while, Karen and Karen left Aisha's manor and continued on to their next destination. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
As members of the Stanfield family, Karen and Karen naturally have their own connections. However, in their network, the current Testrosa family is definitely the most powerful one, and the family that is most likely willing to help them.
Aside from the Testrosa family, there aren't many families with whom they have dealings that might be willing to support the two of them. Even those who would definitely be willing to support them are not very powerful.
However, Karen and Kalian, who are in a rather bad situation, have no choice but to do their best to seek more family support. So even though there was little hope, Karen and Karene still had to visit those families one by one.
After Karen and the two siblings left, Aisha asked James with some curiosity: "Father, didn't you disapprove of this before?" ”
"Hmm."
James nodded, and then said helplessly: "Actually, I'm still not very optimistic about their two siblings!" Karen is still a little too young, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to gain the support of the conservative and neutral elders! ”
"That's ......"
Aisha bowed her head a little sadly.
"Still, it's not like they don't have a chance."
James sighed, then touched Aisha's little head and said, "Since you plan to help them, you have to be tough when the Stanfield family invites the Stanfield family to come and watch the ceremony!" The tougher the attitude you show, the better off they will be! ”
"That's it?"
Aisha blinked her eyes, looking confused: "My attitude...... Is there that heavy or? ”
"Hmm!"
James nodded, then turned to look at Dio and Teresa: "Aisha, do you know that the Stanfield family, the Fallon family, the Storm family, and the Snow family are called the four major families, not because they inherit the title of Grand Duke, but because there are more than two legendary powerhouses in these four families!" It is precisely because of the blessing of some legendary powerhouses that the status of the four major families has never been shaken by other families. ”
Listening to James's words, Aisha also turned her head to look at Dio and Teresa, and then her eyes gradually lit up.
"If it were the other day, the attitude of our Testrosa family would not matter at all. However, this is different now. ”
James said with a smile: "With these two crowns standing behind you, as long as you are the head of the Testrosa family, your attitude is tough enough, then Kalian, who has gained your support, will definitely be safe and sound even if she is defeated in the battle of title succession!" ”
"Hmm!"
Aisha nodded vigorously, and finally a smile appeared on her face.
Under Aisha's threading of the needle, several families at the middle and upper levels, such as Helen's Henderson family and Nemo's Gould family, have successively expressed their support for Kalian. Therefore, Kalian, who was already about to be determined to marry, finally reluctantly participated in the title succession battle as one of the heirs of the family.
After determining all the family heirs who intend to participate in the title succession war, the Stanfield family also officially sent invitations to the major families, inviting all the families who are worthy of the weight to come to the banquet.
The Testrosa family naturally received an invitation, but in addition to Aisha, who is the head of the family, will definitely go, James, who has recovered to the third ring, will also follow her to the territory of the Stanfield family, along with Dio and Teresa.
As one of the four great families, the Stanfield family has a large territory, and the core of its territory is the largest city in the southern region of the United Kingdom of Malta, built on the top of an extinct volcano.
However, after arriving in Flame City, Aisha learned that the venue of the Stanfield family's banquet was not actually in Flame City, but in a private manor south of Flame City.
After checking the invitation, Aisha and James were finally able to enter the tulip manor under the guidance of the servants of the Stanfield family.
"It's just a banquet, is it necessary to make it so cumbersome?"
Aisha was very unhappy and said to James that she really hated these troublesome things because she rarely attended various banquets.
"There's no way around it."
James smiled and shook his head and explained, "Invitations from the Stanfield family will only be sent to those families who have already been approved by them. And those who are not invited but do not want to miss the occasion will sometimes try to blend in with the banquet. After some accidents because of these uninvited 'guests', not only the Stanfield family, but also the other three families. ”
Aisha, who nodded, was about to say something, but was interrupted by a burst of laughter.
"Yo Yo Yo! Isn't this the little head of the Testrosa family? Why, you actually received an invitation? ”
A short and fat middle-aged man with gray sideburns walked over laughing, and was about to say something to Aisha, when he suddenly noticed James standing behind Aisha, and his eyes suddenly widened: "This! James? How can it be! Aren't you dead? ”
"Long time no see, Barak."
Looking at this middle-aged man, James's eyes suddenly filled with a bit of anger: "No, I should call you Marquis Kloster, right?" ”
Obviously, this middle-aged man is none other than the former ally and current enemy of the Testrosa family, the head of the Kloster family, Barak Kloster!
"Hehehe......"
After looking James up and down a few times, Barak sneered twice and said with a disdainful expression: "No! You're certainly not James himself! James's strength is not so weak! ”
"I have to admit that I did look away, and I would think that a blind guy like you would be a good ally."
James shook his head and said helplessly: "Fortunately, there is still a chance to redeem this kind of mistake!" ”
Barak's laughter had already caught the attention of many people, and after seeing James himself, many people began to talk about it. Just as the discussion was getting louder and louder, a thin and tall middle-aged man suddenly walked out of the crowd and said with a look of surprise: "James! Is it really you? ”
James, who was looking at Barak, suddenly left Barak behind, turned around and hugged the middle-aged man: "Hey! Jacob! I'm so glad to see you here! ”
After patting James on the shoulder, Jacob smiled and said, "I have been sad for you for a long time after hearing the news that you and Anne were killed in battle." It's a good thing that you're not dead! ”
"Hehehe......"
At this moment, Barak suddenly laughed sadly: "No! James and Anne are indeed dead! I've seen their bodies with my own eyes! So ......"
"Tell me, James, by what kind of evil magic did you come back to? Evil God Rituals? Or necromancy? You've become a vampire, have you? ”
Hearing Barak say this, the people who gathered around suddenly all took a few steps back, and all looked at James with horror on their faces.
Although not as hated by the people of the Holy Kingdom of the Rhine as they did for necromancers and cultists, the nobles of the United Kingdom of Maltes, who knew how harmful they were, were more wary of this situation.
"Nope! James has a body temperature! ”
Jacob, who was standing with James, angrily retorted, "Barak! What nonsense are you talking about? ”
"Hehehe......"
After sneering twice, Barak shook his head and said calmly, "I said it!" I've seen the bodies of James and Anne with my own eyes! They're dead! There is no doubt about it! ”
"And now, after so many years, James, who has been dead for a long time, suddenly jumped out, which really makes me wonder......"
Indeed, judging by James' face, he should not have been resurrected through necromancy. But! The relationship between us magical nobles in the United Kingdom of Malte and the priests of the Holy Kingdom of the Rhine has always been terrible, and I don't believe James was saved by the resurrection spell performed by that cardinal! ”
"In this way, it is neither necromancy nor resurrection through divine magic, then James can only be resurrected through the evil god ritual!"
"Let's talk about it! James, what price did you pay for the resurrection? Is it the lives of a thousand innocent children, or your soul? ”
Listening to Barak's words, the faces of all the people who looked at James changed, and even Jacob, who was originally standing next to James, subconsciously took a step back and looked at James with some uneasiness.
"Tut-tut, Barak, you're still the same lonely and unheard."
Under the gaze of everyone, James remained calm: "Is there no other way besides these means?" ”
"Hehehehehe, hahaha......"
Barak laughed, "Indeed, there are other ways to resurrect you besides these means!" But ah, I don't believe that your daughter can get a miracle item like the legendary Flower of the World Tree! ”
"It's a pity, it's true!"
James turned his head, looked at Aisha and said with a loving expression, "I believe everyone knows that one of the heirs of the Henderson family, Miss Helen, was once lost in the Phantom Beast World, right?" ”
Barak's laughter stopped abruptly, and James continued with a calm face: "At that time, in order to save her friend, my family's Aisha personally went to the Phantom Beast Realm, where after a long, long period of adventure, successfully rescued Helen. ”
"During this time, Aisha had contact with the elves in the Phantom Beast Realm! The Flower of the World Tree used to resurrect me and Anne was given by the Elves to thank Aisha for her help! ”
After touching Aisha's head, James turned his head to look at Barak abruptly, and said with a sneer: "It is with the power of those two World Tree Flowers that Anne and I, who were already dead, returned to this world!" ”
"Nope! That's impossible! How could such a thing happen! ”
Barak looked incredulous: "I don't believe it! You must be lying! ”
"Nope! James didn't lie! ”
With these resounding words, Gray Henderson slowly walked out of the crowd: "I can testify for him!" The current family of the Testrosa family has indeed rescued my family's Helen from the Phantom Beast Realm! And it is precisely because of this incident that the Henderson family has successfully established an equal trade relationship with the elves of the Phantom Beast Realm! ”
Helen, holding her father's left hand, lifted the hem of her skirt and saluted everyone, and then ran to Aisha's side and chatted with her.
The nobles, who knew that the Henderson family had indeed made a fortune recently, immediately looked at James and Aisha standing beside him with quite complicated eyes.
"No, it's definitely fake! You're actually in this group! ”
Barak yelled hysterically, "How could such a thing happen! ”
"Enough! Marquis Cloist, please shut up! ”
Surrounded by the maids, Karen walked over slowly, looked at Barak and said coldly: "What is the truth of the matter, it's not up to you to decide!" ”
Without waiting for Barak to retort, Karen said to Teresa, who was standing behind Aisha, "Your Majesty, can you please prove it?" ”
Teresa, who was dressed in a simple white dress, nodded, and then suddenly spread a pair of white wings.
When the crowd exclaimed "angel" and "is an angel", a white aura spread out from Teresa's body and quickly swept over everyone present.
"Humph!"
Under the impact of this aura, Walter Colin, the head of the Colin family, who was famous for cultivating dark magic, took two steps back with a pale face, and bursts of black mist appeared on his body, barely resisting the purification of the aura.
This also allowed the rest of the group to be sure that Teresa, who emitted this aura, was indeed a real angel.
And James, who was also shrouded in aura, stood in place unharmed!
"Everybody's seen it, right? Mr. James is not a puppet of the undead or an evil god! ”
Karene said calmly, "Actually, I have also seen the existence of the World Tree Flower in Aisha's hands, so I can also testify to them!" ”
As soon as Kalian's words came out, everyone's eyes changed again, and everyone looked at James and Aisha with the same eagerness.
Who wouldn't want to be the flower of the World Tree that can bring the dead back to life?
Seeing this scene, Barak snorted coldly, and then rushed out of the banquet hall in embarrassment under the gaze of everyone.
