Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 912 Accommodation

Ancestor Dian Alstreim cleared his throat, garnering Davisʼs attention.

”In any case, I personally feel that your character is to my liking, and your talent need not be measured since I have already witnessed your Superior Law Manifestation. Your age should be below thirty years old considering the time Claire Alstreim got stranded in the Forsaken Phoenix Realm, and since youʼre able to reach this height in Soul Forging Cultivation, I can guess that youʼve had your own lucky chances to reach this stage in a short period of time.”

Davis furrowed his brows as the whole situation became complicated.

Rather than him creating the flow and riding on it, he was being swept by Ancestor Dian Alstreimʼs flow. He didnʼt like that one bit as he felt that he was dancing to Ancestor Dian Alstreimʼs tunes, like a puppet on his palms.

ʼGuess Iʼm too greedy and prideful to even have the thought of having the advantage and the initiative to the flow of the conversation in front of a Ninth Stage Powerhouse...ʼ

Perfectly aware of the flow, Davis still tried to possess the advantage.

”Donʼt you think I mightʼve already cleared the trial in the Forsaken Phoenix Realm?” He asked.

”You?” Ancestor Dian Alstreim laughed before he looked deeply at Davisʼs sapphire eyes before he shook his head, ”The records stated that itʼs an Ice and Fire Phoenix Immortal Inheritance. You train in Lightning Laws, which is highly unlikely to be related to an Immortal Inheritance in the Forsaken Phoenix Realm. Furthermore, the characteristic of Derelict Extinction Lightning is seeping out from your essence energy, making it rather clear that you partly relied on Spirit Attribute Source to manifest a Superior Law Manifestation.”

”Your father also seems to be training in Lightning Laws, but his command over lightning is weaker than you from what Iʼve seen. Only your mother is adept at Fire Laws, but I doubt that she couldʼve done anything against the powerhouses of the Forsaken Phoenix Realm after she entered that place.”

”It is more likely that she got captured by your so-called Loret Family, and after seeing that she is...” Ancestor Dian Alstreim stopped before he shook his head, ”In any case, it is unlikely for her to have passed the trial as she was nearing the age limit set according to the records. After all, judging by the time frame and your age, she was probably pregnant with you, perhaps as soon as she got captured by your father, Logan Loret.”

”Being pregnant with you and in confinement means that she would not have any access to the Immortal Inherita-”

Ancestor Dian Alstreim stopped as he noticed Davisʼs twitching expression. He pursed his lips and explained, ”Iʼm not aware of the specifics, so I can only guess with what I know. If I have offended you, then forgive me for being rude.”

”However, the above points are still are not enough for me to remove the possibility of your group to have not possessed the chance of clearing a level of the trial. For example, the relatively easier Sky Grade Trial that has been stated in the records.”

”Nevertheless, this isnʼt what made me think that your group couldʼve possibly not cleared the Trial.”

”There were two women who appeared near the entrance to the Forsaken Phoenix Realm and was said to possess the power of Ice and Fire. I believe that they are possibly the ones who have cleared the trials of the Ice and Fire Phoenix so far. Otherwise, I find it hard that they were able to find another way into the Tripartite Alliance Territory, which was never possible or known in the past.”

Davis possessed a blank expression on his face. The more he spoke with his person, the more he was able to know about Ancestor Dian Alstreim and feel that he could not fool him.

Ancestor Dian Alstreimʼs guesses were indeed correct as the two women he was talking about were Ellia and Princess Shirley. Denying at this point would only backfire at him, so he promptly decided to play it to his advantage instead.

Davis changed his tune, ”Indeed, we followed their trail and found the way out.”

Davis didnʼt explain further as he saw Ancestor Dian Alstreim furrow his brows. This way, it would also establish the fact that they didnʼt clear and Immortal Inheritances. Since he couldnʼt possess the advantage, he felt that being vague about their actions would be helpful in possessing a slight advantage.

And as expected, Ancestor Dian Alstreim didnʼt ask or follow up in the conversation. Davis could now tell that Ancestor Dian Alstreim was afraid of scaring them off like he initially claimed.

ʼLooks like he truly wants to depend on me to lead the Alstreim Family...ʼ

Otherwise, Ancestor Dian Alstreim wouldnʼt have gone out of his way to explain all about this to him.

Davis pursed his lips, not knowing what to say as he wanted to decline, but he didnʼt want to make things worse between them either. His refusal to co-operate could result in their current growing relationship, becoming strained and antagonistic, which isnʼt the best course of action right now.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim took an object out of his and activated it. It was a messaging talisman.

”Yes, revered Ancestor?”

Davis could instantly tell that it was the voice of Grand Elder Krax Alstreim since he had heard his voice before.

”Have you returned to the Grand Welcoming Hall?” Ancestor Dian Alstreim spoke at the messaging talisman.

”Yes, revered Ancestor. I took care of the prisoners and returned. Right now, all of us are enjoying the feast.”

”Good. The banquet has already proceeded for too long. Take the Conferred Queen and her entourage to our most reserved and luxurious Purple Guest Palace. The Protector and I would shortly be there.”

”Also bring Daniuis Alstreim to the same guest palace. You should know about his importance, right?”

”Yes, revered Ancestor! Iʼll follow your eyes and do my best to meet your expectations.”

Ancestor Dian Alstreim kept the messaging talisman back in his spatial ring.

”Thatʼs a ʼyesʼ man you have there...” Davis chuckled.

”What? Our history goes back to ten thousand years, and he was my subordinate once. It is natural that he understands what I do and possess respect for me.” Ancestor Dian Alstreim lifted his chin and proudly spoke.

He then noticed Davis have a hesitant expression on his face.

”Donʼt worry.”

Ancestor Dian Alstreim knew what he was thinking.

”I intend on bringing back your mother to the Alstreim Family sometime later and have her reunite with her father. I donʼt know what kind of fate Claire Alstreim met in the Forsaken Phoenix Realm, but judging by how she gave birth to you and is at the peak of the Law Manifestation Stage, I can muse that she had carved out a path for herself.”

”Iʼve already apologized to Edgar Alstreim through Havle Alstreim, but perhaps, bringing back your mother to him is the greatest apology I can make to Edgar Alstreim right now.”

”I know what Iʼm asking is selfish since youʼre probably the one who carried them here, but all I can ask is for you to give me an opportunity to make things right.” Ancestor Dian Alstreim clasped his hands.
