Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 873: Eighth Stage Delicacy

Receiving an amicable reply from the Conferred Queen, Patriarch Eldric Alstreim nodded his head in a suave manner. He led the way before waving his hand to a person who seemed to be a middle-aged man with a poised yet handsomely presence."This person is none other than my grandfather, Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim." Patriarch Eldric Alstreim added.Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim laughed as he walked to the front, "Conferred Queen's beauty and strength is at the apex for the younger generation! This King-Tier Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf that is at the Low-Level King Beast Stage is truly also an eye-opener! I hope that senior won't take my unbridled laughter as disrespect."Saying so, he clasped his hand towards the black-robed man. Only then did everyone hastily react and clasp their hands towards the Conferred Queen's Protector. No one actually thought that the black-robed man to the side of the King-Tier Magical Beast would be the famous Protector. A tense atmosphere started to spread as they became nervous while thinking that they had offended such a person, but it calmed down when the black-robed man nodded his head."Many thanks!" Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim seemed to take the lead with his powerful voice."Haha, there are so many people to introduce, but before that, we might as well as talk and acquaint ourselves over food and wine!" Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim clapped his hand once, and the river of warriors who were welcoming them seem to retreat, revealing that the whole Grand Welcoming Hall has been changed into a banquet hall!Even though the tables seemed to be empty with people standing in front of the tables, there were numerous maidens to the far end of the sides. They had their pale white hands reach out, and they held wide plates over their hands. It was where the hot delicacies and succulent pieces of meat were kept. The colorful maidens seemed ready to bring in the goods to feast on to a specific lot. Follow current on novelenglish.net

"Extravagant indeed..." Princess Isabella haughtily smiled and had Nadia follow Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim to the elevated platform.The others also followed suit."Elder Havle Alstreim, your assistance is noble, indeed. You can take it comfortably from here. We will take care and continue to entertain the Conferred Queen and her entourage." Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim additionally voiced out.Elder Havle Alstreim's smiling expression became cold.But what could he do?Even the other Elders were left just like that, so he couldn't say anything that was out of place. However, he felt frustrated! Inviting and guiding the Conferred Queen to the Alstreim Family was his achievement! No one else should or could take that away from him!"It can't be like that, no?" Princess Isabella suddenly giggled, "Elder Havle Alstreim was the only one from the Alstreim Family who invited me. He can't be brushed off just like that. At least, not in front of me."While the others let out a gasp of astonishment, Elder Havle Alstreim practically became moved. He was actually called with the honorific 'Elder' in front of everyone as if it actually meant anything in front of these people. He was given face when he least expected it!However, he didn't know that Princess Isabella was just trying to create a conflict between them so she could actively put a show of force to intimidate them. Nevertheless, she can't make the first move. Otherwise, it wouldn't be too good for her fake status. Follow current on novel-online.com

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim didn't know how to respond at the moment despite his long years of experience, or it was better said that he never expected the Conferred Queen to take Elder Havle Alstreim's side. He could nod, but that would be like forced to eat his own crap."Hoho... Isn't it getting lively..." An old man with handsome features suddenly stepped in between them."Grand Elder Krax Alstreim!" Elder Havle Alstreim reacted as he respectfully bowed. This person in front of him had already lived for more than ten thousand years. In fact, it is said that Grand Elder Krax Alstreim possessed the most seniority in terms of age other than the Ancestor."Hoho, young ones don't need to bother with etiquette..." Grand Elder Krax Alstreim waved his hand. Contrary to his name that sounded a bit cool, he looked like a gentle old man next door who took care of others."Young Havle has improved a lot in this decade. He brought the Conferred Queen to our Alstreim Family, and he undoubtedly deserves a place on the seat of dignitaries. Although his status as an Elder doesn't let him, I thank all of you for giving me face.""Haha! Of course! If it's Grand Elder Krax Alstreim, who is speaking for Elder Havle Alstreim, then I'm not going to say otherwise." Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim laughed.His pupils gazed at Grand Elder Krax Alstreim for a while, wanting to know if this was intentional. After all, he and Grand Elder Krax Alstreim never had many conflicts in the first place. Follow current on storynovel.net

'Pretentious...' Princess Isabella inwardly shook her head. This scene reminded her of the time where she needed to give face to every prince and princesses around her while she was just a nameless princess.However, after she became an excellent talent and suddenly obtained the throne, she used her fists to do the talking, earning her the ire of her half-siblings. Unwanted and derogatory rumors also spread to defame her, but she didn't bother with it anyway, and in the end, her imperial father, Mark Ruth, took care of it all.After exchanging their false praises, the Grand Elders brought the Conferred Queen on top of the platform and made her be seated on the right along with her entourage. The Grand Elders sat on the left, introducing themselves.In short, there seemed to be thirteen Grand Elders from the Alstreim Family! Each one of them possessed a Peak-Level Law Sea Stage Cultivation, allowing them to stand apart from the rest of the crowd. In their group, only Grand Elder Krax Alstreim looked old. As for the others, they all more or less looked like middle-aged men with handsome features, a perk from their bloodline.However, one of them seemed to be in seclusion, leaving only twelve Grand Elders to be present. Other than them, there seemed to be two Elders present. One of the two was Havle Alstreim, and the other was a middle-aged man who seemed to slightly bend his waist, standing like a lap dog behind Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim.No one said anything about him because they all knew he was loyal, almost like a servant to Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim. Besides, he wasn't sitting equally with them but standing. Actually, they didn't even cast an eye on him as only disdain would be visible in their eyes.During the time they introduced themselves, the delicacies have been already placed on top of their tables. The magical beast meat looked juicy and delicious that it made the most of the people who smelled its aroma to salivate because the meat was from a High-Level King Beast Stage Magical Beast!Its grade was at Mid-Level Emperor Grade! King Beast Stage Magical Beasts were Eighth Stage Magical Beasts! Their meat was usually reserved only for the top VIPs and special occasions.Even if it wasn't tasty as some low-level magical beasts, the quality of the meat itself would do wonders for them and increase their meager Body Tempering Cultivation by a slight margin. This was a special occasion for the younger generation to feast, and in no way were they going to let go of the opportunity presented to them, perhaps once in every decade!
