Chapter 241: The Storm Settles
Albert and Nagan looked at each other and followed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć InfoJust as the three of them were leaving the gates of the Earl's Palace, a young winged man stopped them.
"Lionel, it's good you're still here," the visitor looked flustered, "You didn't do anything with Mr. Albert, did you?" he whispered, looking at Albert behind him. Although he hadn't seen it, red hair and black eyes were Albert's labels, as well as youth.
"Jason, you're really joking, do you think I'm going to bully the weak?" said Lionel displeased.
"It's good if you don't," the winged man named Jason breathed a sigh of relief and came to Albert, "You are Mr. Albert, please get in the car, His Royal Highness the Grand Duke has set up a banquet and sincerely invites you to participate, several of your friends, as well as the elven moon god high priest are already at the banquet venue." He said politely.
"My friend and the High Priest of the Luna?" Albert was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I'm honored, but what about this friend of mine? can he follow me?" he smiled and said that the attitude of the Winged Humans would change so much, probably because of the High Priest of the Luna.
"Of course, Mr. Albert, please get in the car. With that, Jason opened the door of a beautiful powercar, and Albert and Nagan slipped into the cabin.
"Aren't you participating?" Finally, Jason looked at Lionel.
"That's right, instead of going to a boring banquet, it's better to practice swordsmanship, so as not to be beaten all over the ground and find teeth. Lionel smiled and turned to leave.
Albert looked at Lionel's back and couldn't help but smile.

The power car drove for half an hour and stopped in front of a golden palace like stars in the night sky.
After getting out of the car, Albert and Nagan followed Vincent into the palace. The palace was already crowded at this time, and people in ceremonial dresses gathered together in twos and threes with high-end wine glasses in their hands. Talking and laughing.
Albert looked around and found the Moon God High Priestess Saviara in the banquet chair, who was talking to a tall middle-aged male winged man in a gorgeous robe, who was majestic and exuded an awe-inspiring kingly appearance.
Chevis, Fregaar, and the three girls sat at the head of the High Priest of the Luna. They waited and waited, as if they were looking for something.
Albert smiled and walked over to where Chevis was, the High Priestess of the Moon God had said that the elves needed his help, which meant that they were here to help him. In this case, it also indicates that this turmoil should really subside.
"Little Albert, are you hurt?" asked Saviara softly when she saw Albert. There was a lot of love in the tone.
"Thank you for your concern, the great High Priest of the Moon God, Sevia, for your concern, I'm fine. Albert stepped closer, bowed deeply, and said respectfully.
"Your Majesty, you are teasing me again, haven't we said that we will not mention this matter again?" said the middle-aged man on the side with a displeased expression.
"Oh, no. Your Royal Highness, Grand Duke, you are thinking too much. I just miss Albert a little. Saviara smiled and said, "You may not know, but he's the guest of honor of the elves. ā
"That's the guest of honor of the Winged Terrans. The Grand Duke said earnestly, "Since Albert is safe and sound now, you should rest assured." Moreover, Haoyue and Ling Yu have always been good friends. There's no need to hurt the peace for a little misunderstanding, am I right?" he had a faint smile on his face.
"Of course, the Haoyue Kingdom has always been friendly with the Grand Duchy of Lingyu, so I hope His Royal Highness the Grand Duke. Don't let anything like that happen again. The elven demon path holy light of the elven clan is not something you and your country can bear. At this moment, an inconspicuous-looking elf sitting not far from Sevia said.
"Earl Frost, I've given you a lot of face, and I've already said that this was a misunderstanding, and I didn't know that Albert was in the Grand Duchy of Feather, let alone that someone was going to kill him. The Grand Duke said calmly.
"I don't know, the powerhouse of the Holy Rank, the ruler of the Grand Duchy of Lingyu, who covers the sky with one hand, doesn't even know what's going on under his nose?Well, if you don't know, why did you send someone to hunt down Natalie, and why did you send your students to capture Albert, do you really think that I don't know anything?" Earl Frost asked aggressively.
"I was there to protect them, how did it come to your mouth and become a hunt? Besides, when did the elves become allies with the flower demons? This is the first time I've heard of it. The Grand Duke's face turned gloomy, and he stared coldly at Belle under the black robe as he spoke.
As soon as the Grand Duke's words came out, the banquet hall suddenly fell silent, and it became audible for pins to fall.
No one dared to make a sound, not even to breathe, and everyone knew that if the Grand Duke showed such a look, it meant that he was already extremely angry.
"They are my friends, and I suppose it has nothing to do with you what race I am friends with?" Albert broke the silence and said calmly.
As soon as the words ended, a whisper rang out in the banquet hall.
"Who is this person? Dare to contradict His Royal Highness the Grand Duke in anger. ā
"I heard it's called Bert, Hubert Trebert?"
"It's Albert, the newcomer king of the continent who has recently become famous. ā
"Poor, no matter how good his talent is, it's useless, his life has come to an end, and his youth and vigor kill people. ā
"I'll bet ten gold coins that Albert will die. ā
Two of the Grand Duke's personal guards stepped forward, "Dare to be rude to His Royal Highness the Grand Duke, and still kneel down to admit his mistake." ā
"Stand down!" said the Grand Duke, looking back at Albert, "he's right, boy, I don't know what kind of friends you make. However, if this evil race appears in the Grand Duchy of Lingyu, it must be punished by justice. A smile appeared on his face again, but it was very cold.
The Grand Duke suppressed his anger, the Elves had already made their stand, and dealing with Albert was tantamount to declaring war on the Elves, and he couldn't be too impulsive. With the current national strength of the Grand Duchy of Lingyu, it is not enough to compete with the Haoyue Kingdom, even if it adds allies to the yodelers.
"Your Highness, Grand Duke, you say she's an evil race?" Albert smiled, "but what if not? Would you like to apologize for what you just said?"
"Hehe, you're so funny, if not. Of course. The Grand Duke asked rhetorically, he had already felt the aura of the Fallen Flower Demon, and the intuition of the Holy Rank powerhouse would never be wrong, he wanted to see what tricks this kid could play.
Today, he must kill two people to quench his anger, or his reputation will be damaged. And Albert's interracial friend is the first choice. He didn't care about the number one magic genius, or the rookie king of the continent, if it wasn't for the protection of the elves, he would even want to kill Albert together.
"Belier, let His Highness the well-informed Grand Duke see what race you are. Albert said with a smile.
"Well... All right. Belle nodded yes and took off her black robe.
Belil is exposed to everyone's attention, her appearance is the same as that of an elf, and her skin is fair. And pointy ears. The delicate figure is petite, with beautiful cicada wings like transparent on its back, and its body exudes the power of holy light.
"Your Royal Highness, please tell me, where does my friend resemble a Fallen Flower Demon? Have you ever seen a Fallen Flower Demon with such fair skin? Have you ever seen a Fallen Flower Demon that can leave the Rainforest of Death? Have you ever seen a Fallen Flower Demon that can use the power of the Light? If you have seen it, please tell me where you have seen it. Albert said indifferently.
The Grand Duke was stunned for a moment, but then regained his composure. "I haven't seen it, but. Please come and tell me what ethnicity your friend is?" he asked rhetorically. No one saw the Grand Duke's anger at this time, he wanted to tear Albert in front of him to pieces, no, it was a thousand knives and skinned Albert alive.
"You're a knowledgeable Holy Magister. Your Highness the Well-Informed Grand Duke, even you don't know their origins, how do I know, I only know that she is a poor orphan, and she has never met her parents and people. So she herself doesn't know. Albert said without thinking.
The Grand Duke gritted his teeth, "Well, I did blame your friend," he said with some reluctance, "You're serious, boy, I won't dare joke with you in the future, my little magic genius." The Grand Duke touched Albert's head, smiled kindly, and turned away.
In the Grand Duke's mind, Albert had already been sentenced to death, but in order to avoid trouble, before that, he had to find out why the elves protected Albert, and he didn't believe it was because of Albert's talent. Good talent does not mean that future achievements will be high, there are countless people with extremely high talent when they were young, but they end up at the king level or super level, and they will never be able to enter the glorious hall of the holy level.
Such was the case with the Frost Earl, who was so gifted as a young man that he was known as the Elven No. 1 Magical Genius and was always the best at the War College. As a result, it is not that it has not stopped at the royal level, and it has not been able to break through for hundreds of years.
The Grand Duke walked away slowly, with that hearty laugh.
To others, the Grand Duke seemed to have played a little joke with Albert, and in order to amuse the little one, the atmosphere became relaxed again, and people began to praise each other and talk about each other.
Albert smiled and didn't speak, it was a good ending to be able to get rid of the problem, and he didn't want to get into any more trouble because of his talk. For a short while, his back was already wet with cold sweat, and confronting a Saint-level powerhouse, even if it was a verbal battle, it was enough to test his courage.
"Little Albert, you seem to have gotten smarter. Saviara said with relief.
"Thank you, High Priestess, for the compliment, Belle, aren't you counting it yet?" Albert said with a smile as he looked at Belil hovering on the roof of the shed.
"Albert, I'll fly the last three, no, five, ten, last ten. Belle was flying and chattering non-stop, and her excitement was irrepressible.
Albert shook his head, ignoring the playful Belle.

"Your Highness, is that all, as long as you give the order, I will go and kill him at night, and I will ensure that the gods do not know the ghosts, and there will be no mistakes. A middle-aged man in armor looked at Albert and said angrily.
"You'd better use your brains first, and tell Lionel and Jason to meet me in the conference hall. The Grand Duke glared at the middle-aged man and said indifferently.

After the banquet, the servants arranged a room for Albert and the others, and Albert returned to the room and began to mobilize the dragon flame to continue to purify the demonic source qi.
A ray of dawn shone through the window on Albert, and before he knew it, the night had passed, and Albert opened his eyes to check the results of the night. In just one night, his magic power had increased by 3 points, reaching 778 points, which was one step closer to the nine-star peak he expected.
After washing, Albert left the room and woke the others up. Finding that the two great sages had disappeared, they didn't seem to want to go with their children, so they left before them.
Gabrielle drove the latest off-road power car sent by the Grand Duke to the outside of the city. Although I hate the Grand Duke more, there is a good saying, don't be in vain, and everyone still gladly accepted it. This off-road model of the latest power car is much more high-end than the one of the Carbery, and the cab and cabin are connected, which can also make driving less boring.
"That uncle of yours is so relieved that he slipped away first. Gabrielle chatted as she drove.
"Who told you to stay in his room last night, and had to spend the night in his room, I guess I was scared by you, I really don't know what you thought at the time. Natalie said angrily.
Natalie thought to herself, Count Frost was not related to her, and the reason why she called Uncle was because Count Frost and his father were best friends, and since his father's death, it had been Count Frost who had taken care of the two sisters.
"Miss, where do you want to go? I was afraid that Sandru was still alive, and I was afraid that he would find someone to kill me again, and Count Frost was good at strength, so of course I would look for him." Besides, didn't I ask you to come with me? It's a king's suite, and each room has several small rooms, so what's the matter? Gabrielle guessed what Natalie was thinking and said dissatisfied.
"Isn't it okay to go to the room of the High Priest of Saviara, she is many times stronger than her uncle. Natalie said depressedly.
"What? Gabrielle, you are so bold, why don't you ask me first, that elf is always squinting, and he is not a good person at first glance. At this moment, Freigar slapped his thigh and said sadly.
"Boy, who do you say is not a good person? My uncle is the most upright elf, and how did that kind smile get into your mouth? Damn human, I used to have a good impression of you, and I was still by Gabriel's side to help you say good things, but now, I will definitely do everything possible to stop you!" Natalie scolded, like an angry little lioness.
