Chapter 670: The Peak of Life?
"My pearl, you are so beautiful today!"
When Adella came to the high platform, Edward hugged her with open hands, and then complimented her with loving words.
"Thank you, grandfather!"
Adele and Duke Edward show the bond between their grandfather and granddaughter at the top
However, Gervais, who was standing below, found a problem, that is, Gervais never seemed to have read or heard of Adele's parents' information, and even today's birthday redemption was presided over by his grandfather.
So Gervais tilted his head slightly and whispered to Ratchey.
"Ratchey, what about Adella's parents, why haven't I seen them yet!"
"Huh?"
Since the appearance of Adela and the orc princess before, Rakhi's eyes have not been taken off, and he doesn't know whether he is looking at Adele or the orc princess, but he is very obsessed anyway.
Hearing Gervais's question, Ratchet was stunned for a moment and didn't react.
It was only after a while that he reacted.
"Harry, are you asking Adella's parents?"
"Yes!"
Gervais gave Ratchet a strange look, and he thought that this guy must have a better chance of seeing the orc princess.
Ratchet knew that his performance had just been seen through by Gervais, and he felt a little weak in his heart, so he coughed dryly before replying in a low voice.
"Ahem! Adele's parents disappeared in the Godfall ten years ago! I don't know the specifics, but don't mention it in front of Adella, or he'll be sad! β
"Hmm!"
Gervais nodded, and now he knew that Adele's parents had such a change.
From previous knowledge, Gervais knew that Duke Edward had a total of three children.
Adella's father is the heir to Sky City, the eldest son of Duke Edward.
It's no wonder that Edward is still holding the position of city lord at such an age, and most of the other families at this age have passed the title to their heirs, while the older generation has retreated into the background.
For example, Houlton of the Golden Shield family is like this, Houton's cultivation is naturally not as advanced as Edward, but Houton's father is one of the twelve strongest people of the human race with Edward.
Then Gervais and Ratchey stopped talking, but continued to look at the top of the platform.
"That's it! My pearl, today is your birthday, and it's time for grandfather to give you a prepared gift. β
Duke Edward addressed Adele, then waved at the attendants outside the gate.
Then the attendant quickly ran out of the banquet hall.
"Wow! It turned out to be a snowy white tiger! β
"In the future, I can become a high-level demonic beast!"
Not long after the squire left the hall, several Sky City guards came to the hall with a two-meter-high Mithril iron cage!
And when the guests saw a snow-white beast in this iron cage, they exclaimed, especially those young men and women, such a mount was what they had always dreamed of.
The snow-white beast in this iron cage is a white tiger, although this snowy white tiger is a middle-level demonic beast, but it is also related to its age, because this snowy white tiger is a juvenile.
It is no more than two meters long, and its height is only about one and a half meters, but as long as it reaches its maturity, this white tiger can grow into a high-level demonic beast that is four or five meters long and more than two meters high.
In the end, what is wanted is that there is such a legend in the Sacred Continent, as long as this snowy white tiger breaks through the high level, it can grow wings and become a snowy flying tiger.
"Adella, this is the magical beast that grandfather prepared for you, do you like it or not?"
"Like, thank you grandfather!"
If you want to domesticate a monster into a mount, it must be a juvenile monster.
Because once the Warcraft is an adult and has a beastly existence, it is difficult to sign a master-servant contract with it.
And the young Warcraft naturally have parents waiting for them, so although there are many Warcraft in the Holy Continent, it is not easy to get a good mount.
Adele was naturally very happy about this, and thanked her grandfather with a smile.
"Well, let's sign the contract first!"
Seeing that Adella was satisfied, Edward was also full of smiles, and then led Adella to the iron cage.
"Hmm!"
It's easy to make a contract with Warcraft in this sacred continent, but Edward took out a scroll from the storage space, and then asked Adela to drip a drop of blood on the scroll.
After doing all this, Duke Edward activated the scroll and threw it at the snowy white tiger in the iron cage.
Roar!
As the contract scroll took effect, a flash of inspiration completely enveloped the snowy white tiger.
The snowy white tiger's cub let out a frightened wail before it became quiet.
"Thank you, grandfather!"
As the snowy white tiger quieted down, this also signaled the completion of Adella's master-servant contract with the white tiger.
Adèle thanked Edward before walking up to the cage and opening the door.
"Roar!"
When the white tiger saw Adella, it was as if he had seen his parents, and immediately came to her feet and rubbed Adella's snow-white dress.
"Adella, it seems that this little thing likes you very much, give it a name! Ha ha! β
"Let's call Xiaobai!"
Adella naturally likes her new mount in the Emerald City, and after hearing Edward's words, she thought for a moment and said a name!
"Yes, he will be your mount from now on, you can call it whatever you like!
"Alright, Adella, now that Grandfather's gift has been delivered, it's time for you to leave the rest of the time! Let's have a few words to all of you! β
"Yes, grandfather!"
Hearing Edward's words, Adella nodded slightly, patted the head of her new mount, and then returned to the high platform.
After coming to the stage, Adella bowed slightly to everyone, and then said in a crisp and graceful voice.
"Thank you uncles and uncles for coming to my birthday party, and I hope you have a great time tonight!"
After speaking, Adella saluted again, and then stopped talking, but looked at the beast princess who had beautiful eyes like water and a smile on her face all the time.
"How can you say that this human woman is so beautiful, and she is no worse than our Ahri princess!"
"Although the human race is weak, many women are really good-looking, not only with a soft temperament, but also with a fragrance on their bodies that are even more attractive!"
At this time, many orcs also looked at Adella intently.
Especially Doro, a half-orc who selected a group of Terran youths at the gate of the Cold Jade Manor, his eyes were even hotter.
"I want to marry this human woman!"
Doro said in an affirmative tone.
"Hehe, Duolo, don't you want to marry a princess?"
"Marry them all! Those weak humans are not worthy of this human woman! Besides, when the time comes, let the princess be the eldest wife, this human woman will be small, our beast clan is not as hypocritical as humans, and we can only marry one on the surface! β
"Haha, you're amazing!"
Duo Luo's words were very domineering, making the surrounding orcs show envious expressions.
Doro is Prince Dossalon's most valued heir, and if he marries a princess, he is sure in the eyes of everyone.
And if you can really marry this human woman again, it will be a great blessing.
"Well, when those Terran youths give gifts to that Miss Adella, you will immediately go up and give your own gifts to Ahri, in short, you will compare those youths!"
"Okay, Hello, we're ready!"
β¦β¦
"Hello everyone, I am honored to have a birthday party like you humans in the City of Hope today!"
"Although this disturbs Miss Adella's birthday and will probably make many people angry, I am really eager to have a birthday party in a human way!"
"Here, I apologize to all of you and ask for your forgiveness for my selfish behavior."
"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Rebecca, you can also call me Ahri!"
After Adele finished speaking, it was naturally the turn of the other protagonist of tonight's banquet.
I have to say that this beast princess is indeed very charming, and she is very worthy of the name Gervais gave her the name of the vixen.
Seeing that this orc princess was only a few words with that beautiful appearance, it made all the young people present feel pity, and they had long forgotten their hostility towards this orc princess before they came.
"Gervais, do you want me to forgive her, after all, Ahri may really be eager to have a Terran birthday party!"
Ratchet suddenly whispered a question to Gervais, his words full of pity for the orc princess.
"Well, you can decide for yourself!"
What else can Gervais say, a man with eyes as straight as Ratchey, you tell him that this vixen is probably pretending to be pitiful, and I guess he won't listen.
There were not a few people present who reacted like Rakhi, and most of the Terran youth were whispering.
The words are nothing more than that this beast princess doesn't want the beast clan at all, she looks so beautiful, she speaks well, and she is a little pitiful.
With Adela and the beast princess finished speaking, the next step was to give gifts!
And Raki also craned his neck at this time, looking ahead, he was already carrying the delicate gift box in his hand.
"Miss Adella, happy birthday! Here's my birthday present for you, a pair of magic earrings that allow you to increase the recovery rate of mana! β
"It's an earring that increases the recovery speed, which requires at least 1,500 gold coins!"
"Miss Adella, happy birthday! Here's my birthday present for you, an ice silk robe that weakens the damage of fire-based magic attacks! β
"Ice silk is the silk thread spit out by poisonous spiders that are only found in the snow-capped mountains of the plateau, and this magic robe should be worth more than 1,000 gold coins!"
As the gift-giving began, the young people on the Terran side came on the field one after another,
Of course, these gifts were naturally not prepared by themselves, they were all paid by their parents for them to send, after all, Adella is a junior, and it is just right for her heir to send them.
At the same time, he also has the idea of letting his heir show his face in front of Adella and see if he can have a chance to marry the pearl of Sky City back.
And like Lachey, who belongs to the second son, he also received the invitation alone, so he needs to prepare a gift out of his own pocket.
At this time, although Ratchet had not yet acted, he was staring intently at the gifts given by the young men in front of him, and whispered to Gervais about the approximate price.
"Happy birthday, Princess Ahri, this is my gift for you, Goblin Agate, it will speed up your cultivation! It should be worth more than 3,000 gold coins here in the Terrans! Ha ha! β
"Happy birthday, Princess Ahri, this is my gift for you, the Flame Lizard Leather Armor, which can at least withstand the full force of the White Flag's high-ranking powerhouse! On the Terran side, it's worth at least about 2,500 gold coins! β
As the young people of the human race began to give gifts, the beast side did not dare to show weakness, and walked to the front of the stage to give gifts.
And after giving the gift, he had to deliberately say its value, and looked at the young people who gave the gift just now.
Seeing this, the young people present all frowned slightly, after all, their gift was prepared by their fathers.
What's more, the human side is an alliance system, so gift-giving is just a gift exchange.
However, the orcs are a whole royal court, and these half-orcs give gifts to their princesses, which have the meaning of flattering, and naturally they can give as many precious gifts as they can.
When the gift from the orc side was delivered, the young people on the human side were embarrassed, and the young people who were about to move just now hesitated.
After all, it is very humiliating to be provoked by orcs after giving gifts.
After such a scene appeared, Adele fell into an embarrassing situation.
The orc princess could receive the gifts, but Adella stood on top of it as if this part of the birthday party had nothing to do with him.
Seeing such an appearance, Gervais looked at Lachey and found that the product was still very calm, and he probably wanted to wait for a while.
After all, his gift was worth more than 7,000 gold coins, and he probably wanted to wait until the finale was playing.
So, Gervais said to Lachey.
"Rakhi, I'll go up and deliver a gift first!"
Gervais didn't want to wait any longer, although his gift was only more than a thousand gold coins, and he was still at the bottom of the field, but he could send it if he wanted to, as for the orc's provocation, Gervais didn't look at it at all.
"Okay, you go first, Harry!"
And just as Gervais was about to walk forward, Lolita, the eldest lady of the sacred trading house, also took out the gift from the storage space and walked forward.
Seeing this, Gervais slowed down slightly and followed him.
"Happy birthday, Miss Adella, this is my gift for you, Azure Heart, which can be used to forge magical equipment!"
In front of Gervais, Lolita presented the box to Adella, and opened the lid of the box like the others, revealing the gift inside.
"Wow, it turned out to be the Blue Heart, worthy of being the eldest lady of the Divine Trading House, this gem is probably worth more than three thousand gold coins!"
The arrival of Lolita and Gervais alleviated Adella's embarrassment.
Moreover, the gift given by Lolita was also very valuable, and suddenly a few young people on the human side pointed it out loudly, obviously for the orcs.
"Thank you, Miss Lolita"
Adele sincerely saluted Lolita and thanked her and accepted the gift!
After Lolita left, Gervais stepped forward and said to Adella.
"Happy birthday, Adella, I hope you enjoy these lightweight spider silk gloves!"
Gervais opened the very ordinary gift box in his hand and presented a pair of white lace gloves in front of everyone.
"Thank you, Harry!"
Naturally, Adella would not think that the gift from Gervais was low, and she also smiled at Gervais and thanked her sincerely.
Gervais didn't stay long, bowed back to Adella, and then returned to the crowd.
"Haha, this spider silk glove is estimated to be only a few hundred gold coins, the gifts from you Terran youths are not sincere, I really feel sorry for the beautiful Miss Adella! It's a pity that I only prepared a gift this time, otherwise I would have sent a sincere heart to the beautiful Miss Adella! β
"Happy birthday, Princess Ahri, this command horn is a gift I have specially prepared for you, when you blow it, you can control the backstabbing monitor lizard that I tamed to come out and fight for you!"
"If you calculate by value, each backspin monitor lizard can be sold for 400 gold coins here in the Terrans!"
As soon as Gervais finished giving the gift, an orc ran up from there, first laughing at Gervais and the other youths, and then handing over his own gift, and also explaining the value of it.
"It's so hateful, these orcs are crumbs!"
In the face of the taunts of the orcs, the Terran youth below naturally turned blue and white for a while, but even if they gritted their teeth, it was useless, the value of the gift was there, and they could only endure being ridiculed.
And now that the banquet has begun, it is naturally impossible to prepare a new gift.
β¦β¦
"Harry, I'm going up to you right now to avenge you, I'm going to go up and deliver gifts, I'm going to destroy the might of these orcs!"
When Gervais returned to his position, and Lachey's face was full of eagerness, and after comforting Gervais, he was ready to play.
He has been preparing for Adella's birthday for so long, precisely for the sake of appearing in front of people.
And I didn't expect it to be so coincidental this time, such a stepping stone as the orc was sent, and Ratch felt that he had reached the peak of his life tonight!
"Well, then you can go quickly!"
Seeing Ratche's appearance, Gervais wanted to laugh a little, he naturally didn't care about the orc's provocation, and after he sent the three potions himself, they wouldn't cry.
"But will this blow Raki, too?"
Gervais thought to himself.
After the two finished talking, Rakchi no longer slackened and walked directly towards the high platform.
"Adella, happy birthday! Here's my gift for you: the Magic Blue Crystal Necklace! It speeds up your cultivation! Well, this chain is not very expensive, and it only cost more than 7,000 gold coins to buy! β
"Wow, it's actually a magic blue crystal necklace, I saw it last time in the Divine Firm!"
"I've seen it too, and I think it's worth 18 backstabbing monitor lizards! Hey, that orc, you know how to tame a few more! Ha ha! β
Rudge directly stated the amount of money he spent on the necklace, which would have been very vulgar in the past at other banquets.
But at this moment, no one thought that Rage was vulgar, but Rage's behavior at this time gave them a big sigh of relief, which can be regarded as suppressing the arrogance of the orc just now.
And the orc who was still triumphant before really turned ugly at this moment, and he was about to come out of the water.
"Thank you! Ratchey! β
Adele saluted and thanked Lachi.
Although those orcs were aimed at the young people present, but they were always compared to the orcs, which made her a little embarrassed, and now that Raki could suppress the other party, it was naturally the best.
Of course, Adele didn't really care about this, her mind was not on the scene, but thinking about when Gervais's gift would be delivered!
"You're welcome, Adele, and I wish you a happy birthday again!"
Feeling that he had really reached the pinnacle of his life, Rache congratulated Adele again, and then turned around and walked towards the crowd with his head held high.
In his mind, tonight's gift should be considered the highest price! Stay first!
"Happy birthday, Ahri, this is the Legendary Binding Frost! To you! This is what I got by killing a human knight! β
Just when Lachey was still triumphant, a word suddenly came from behind him, and the smug smile on his face instantly froze.
At this time, the orc who spoke was none other than Doro, and the orc princess Ahri that Doro gave was a weapon of legendary quality.
Doro handed the legendary weapon to Ahri, then turned to the group of Terran youths and asked.
"May I ask, how many gold coins should this legendary quality weapon be worth according to your Terran calculations?"
