Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-869

Davis clasped his hand back at Elder Havle Alstreim with a smile, "I assume we can enter like this? After all, a mere Peak-Level King Grade Construct couldn't possibly pose a threat to the Alstreim Family, right?"

"Of course!" Elder Havle Alstreim patted his chest proudly.

They could easily destroy the construct considering its grade. However, would they dare to destroy it?

Even if they shouldn't destroy the construct, they can easily restrict it if there were to be any contingencies. Besides, he understood people like the Conferred Queen couldn't be moved out of their constructs. It would be a direct insult to their face that should be avoided because their motive is to build amicable relationships.

"We will lead you to the family's main city, named after the Founder, Grand Alstreim City. However, once we're right outside the city, I'll have to request that the construct stays outside the city."

"Of course, we are not rude. I likewise invite Elder Havle Alstreim to travel along with us inside our grand abode."

Elder Havle Alstreim's eyes lit up, "I'm much obliged."

Initially, he was thinking of how to confirm if there were no harmful elements inside the abode, but now, he was able to get in without asking. He felt grateful to Alchemist Davis. After all, even if he went inside and were to lose his life somehow, it was better than bringing harmful elements into the Alstreim Family.

If he easily brought harmful elements into the Alstreim Family, he would really become a sinner. His three generations of descendants would be punished along with him for a serious crime. On the other hand, if he were able to prevent such danger from getting into the Alstreim Family, then only he would end up dying.

Although he didn't give a crap about most people, he did care about his daughter and granddaughter!

Davis nodded his head and waited while Elder Havle Alstreim gave instructions to the others. Once Elder Havle Alstreim finished yelling, numerous flying boats appeared, forming an enviable entourage around the Earth Dragon's Abode. In the very front was a twenty-meter tall flying boat, a construct made out of emperor grade materials.

It was a Low-Level Emperor Grade Construct! But it seemed to be of a lower quality, other than the fact that it looked majestic, paving the way for the entourage.

Elder Havle Alstreim looked at Alchemist Davis, wanting to see his reaction.

Davis's lips twitched, 'Does he want to be praised?'

"This is a wonderful welcome! As expected from the person who managed to amicably converse with Senior." Davis nodded his head, causing Elder Havle Alstreim to break out into a burst of laughter.

"Aye, you're over-praising me."

"Haha." Davis chuckled. "Let's get inside the abode then."

They returned to the Earth Dragon's Abode while the flying boats started to lead them into the Alstreim Family.

In the same hall, the round table was nowhere to be found. Elder Havle Alstreim admiringly looked at the sculptures and patterns decorating the innards of the abode. He didn't know which Construct Master created this masterpiece, but he was continuously praising that artist in his mind.

He had asked Alchemist Davis, but the answer he was given was that he didn't know. Hence, he was talking to himself as he walked into a hall.

When he entered the hall, his eyes rushed towards the Throne that was placed on top of a powerful at the end of the hall. On the Throne was a female figure that made his heart skip a beat. She looked mesmerizing with the ray of light from the ceiling falling on her, accentuating her beauty countless times as the dark purple robe shined like the starry skies. She looked as though as if she was the sole ruler of the heavens, a woman whose beauty should not be blasphemed upon.

He swiftly lowered his head and clasped his hand, "Elder Havle Alstreim greets the Conferred Queen and welcomes her excellency to the Alstreim Family. Your excellency's beauty is as transcending as ever."

He had lustful thoughts upon seeing her in the past, only to take it out on a princess of the Ethren Empire, but this time, there was only reverence left in his heart. A woman like the Conferred Queen wasn't someone like him who can have thoughts on. He felt that he would be blaspheming if he were to do so.

He didn't even utter her name, and when he realized this, he sighed. Perhaps in the future, she would be in the large Territories, belonging to another exceptional man who might be even stronger than her, even when she is in the Ninth Stage.

He secretly cast a glance at Alchemist Davis, feeling pity for this young man who seems to be low-key pursuing his Young Mistress. It was bound to be hopeless for him. 

"Be seated. Otherwise, people might say that I'm far too arrogant for not giving respect to an elder..." Princess Isabella smilingly spoke and waved her hand.

Below the platform, there were a few couches. Elder Havle Alstreim nodded his head and walked towards the sofa to be seated. Just when he was about to place his butt on the couch, a figure suddenly materialized beside him, sitting on the couch!

"!?"

He was given a start, but when he saw who it was, he heaved a sigh, "Senior, there's no need to scare junior like this. Junior is already nervous from the moment I entered this abode..."

"Hahaha!" Davis laughed. It was none other than Solitary Soul Avatar, who suddenly appeared.

He still wore a face-concealing mask, as well as a black robe with a hood that hid his blonde hair. However, he already dyed his hair black, and a disguise art plastered his face, so even if his hair and face were to be revealed, no one would think Davis and the Conferred Queen's Protector were one and the same.

He stopped his laughter and looked at him, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't bother visiting the Alstreim Family. Last time, those brutes and scoundrels from the Towering Cloud Hall ticked me off. This time, let's see what happens! Hahaha!"

Davis heartily laughed in a deep voice, but that garnered a solemn yet silent gulp from Elder Havle Alstreim. Elder Havle Alstreim was suddenly feeling unsure.

What was the actual chance that he invited a calamity for the Alstreim Family?

"..."

'Perhaps, only the heavens would know...' He inwardly lamented.

The Solitary Soul Avatar patted on the couch, telling Elder Havle Alstreim to be seated next to him.

"To be held in better standing by senior, I couldn't ask for more." Elder Havle Alstreim clasped his hand and sat a bit away from Senior.

Although it was done with respect, he didn't want to become prey to any random soul techniques, so he sat with a bit of trepidation.

"Haha, don't be so afraid. I won't be doing anything to you. If I wanted to, I could've done something to you in the Ethren Empire itself." Davis laughed.

Truly, being able to scare an Eighth Stage Expert from the Alstreim Family had him in high spirits.

"Senior is right..." Elder Havle Alstreim relaxed a bit.

If he reasoned, then what senior said was logical, unless senior had some other motives.
