Chapter 837: Elisa's 'Departure'

"What's going on!"

Horn, whose mood wasn't originally very wonderful to begin with, felt a fire in his heart.

Thus, after hearing the clamor, he anxiously rushed toward the camp gate, planning to see what exactly was happening.

After all, there were two newly arrived Title Holders in his camp right now.

Although these two were arranged well.

The Old Emperor also knew.

But they hadn't officially begun to generate benefits for the Empire yet.

So the Old Emperor didn't want too many people disturbing their lives.

If some big or small incident happened in his camp, the Old Emperor would definitely make him the first target for punishment.

As Horn quickly walked to the camp gate, the cursing and swearing originally in his mouth gradually lost its sound.

For no other reason.

Than because standing in front of the camp gate was a sea of people wearing white robes and green wool shawls wrapped around their necks.

These people had a unified name.

Called—Workshop Alchemists.

To put it simply, they were alchemists from within the Imperial Capital Alchemical Workshop.

They could also be considered Nikolai's former employer.

Of course, the most important thing was that these alchemists wearing white robes and green wool shawls all came from a family called Aureolus.

Or rather, within the borders of the entire Empire, people dressed like this were all members of the Aureolus Family.

This had seemingly already become their standard attire and identifying style.

Yes, these people shared the same surname as Elisa.

They were the ones whom the Emperor had sent someone to notify after he learned of the situation.

"Who is claiming to be an Aureolus?"

When the group of people on the training ground, led by Nikolai, walked to the camp gate, this white and green-clad group parted.

From within walked out an old man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties.

This old man was very spirited.

He also spoke very loudly.

It even reached a somewhat ear-piercing level.

It made the listener's head buzz.

"Me."

Seeing that the arrival was looking for her, Elisa didn't avoid him and directly stepped forward.

"So it's you, the Title Holder claiming to be an Aureolus."

"Yes."

Elisa didn't speak any nonsense, or rather, she didn't want to waste words on these people.

She directly reached out and took the Spatial Shoulder Bag out of her card.

Then, she took a ring out from the spatial bag.

This ring was very old.

It looked like it should be something from a long time ago.

But overall, the ring didn't show any signs of damage.

Even because someone had been constantly handling it, some places had developed a patina.

Of course, Lan Qingyou was behind Elisa, so she absolutely couldn't see what it was.

But the old man in front and those white and green-clad people could see clearly.

"This is!!!"

"The Patriarch's Ring!?"

"Why would it be in this woman's hands?"

"That's not right! The Patriarch's Ring is in the Patriarch's hands; I even saw it before coming to the Imperial Capital a while ago!"

"..."

After clearly seeing the ring, a burst of whispered discussion suddenly erupted among the white and green-clad crowd.

And that old man with the loud voice walked forward with trembling lips, wanting to take a closer look.

The ring was definitely real.

After all, this thing was exactly what the Aureolus Family members brought from Planet Karim to Blue Star, and then passed down generation after generation until it reached Elisa's hands.

Therefore.

Now that she brought this thing out, it was equivalent to this world having two Patriarch's Rings.

Although the quantity had increased.

But this could be explained away no matter what.

After all, no matter how one inspected it, it was definitely something from a thousand years ago.

So she didn't worry about it affecting anything either.

In other words...

A history even longer than the Patriarch's Ring in the hands of the current Patriarch; that meant it was royalty that had wandered outside before the kingdoms merged!

The old man calculated this in his heart.

The Selala Mountain Range.

That was originally part of the Aureolus Kingdom.

If it were said that during the former kingdom period, due to turmoil, a certain royal branch ran there to take refuge, it wasn't impossible.

Furthermore, this branch might even be the main lineage!

After all, such an ancient ring of royal authority existed.

That's right.

This Patriarch's Ring was a part of the symbols of royal authority during the former royal family period.

The Crown, the Scepter, and the Royal Ring.

Escaping while carrying the crown and scepter would make it easy to be found by people.

But the ring was different; it was small and convenient.

This... was very likely true.

Thus, after calculating for a while, the old man smiled at Elisa.

After the two briefly communicated about something, Lan Qingyou saw Elisa wave her hand toward her side, and then leave with that group of white and green-robed guys.

"This is..."

Lan Qingyou, who hadn't figured out the situation, looked dumbfoundedly at Elisa's departing back.

"Those people are members of the Aureolus Family. Since Miss Elisa claims to be a person of this family, naturally someone will come to distinguish the truth from the falsehood."

Horn explained for the bewildered Lan Qingyou.

Afterwards, Nikolai also stepped forward.

"But looking at it now, Miss Elisa's identity should be real; otherwise, that old man Philips definitely wouldn't be so easy to talk to."

As someone who had previously stayed within the workshop, Nikolai had the most right to speak in this regard.

In his view, this old man shouldn't be a human.

But should be a dragon or some other loud-voiced monster.

But it was precisely such a person who had shown respect toward Elisa just now.

Judging purely from this point, Miss Elisa's status within the Aureolus Family was absolutely higher than his.

Tsk tsk.

A guy in charge of the Imperial Capital workshop, if placed during the kingdom period, would at least be a provincial governor guarding a region.

As a result, he was expressing respect toward a little girl.

Then... it could only be royalty...

Hiss—

Saying it like this, wasn't her identity roughly similar to the Old Emperor's?

It was just that one sat on the throne, while the other didn't.

If one really had to calculate it, getting a bit serious, she also had the right to succeed the throne.

Tsk, tsk...

He originally thought she was just someone from a branch, but unexpectedly, she might even be from the main house.

And after Lan Qingyou knew that these people were from the Aureolus Family, she was relieved.

Compared to Nikolai's random thoughts, she naturally knew more.

Since they were 'one family'.

Then the other party definitely wasn't in any danger.

Rather than worrying about that girl, she might as well consider the arranged fight three days later.

Thus, Lan Qingyou, after nodding, took the maids, butler, gardeners, chefs, and guards given by the Old Emperor and went to the villa allocated to her.

Originally, Nikolai could have followed along.

But because he had constantly been busy handling various matters ever since he returned up until now.

So he didn't follow Lan Qingyou and leave.

Instead, after greeting Horn, he left the Knight Order Garrison.

Over the past two days, he had encountered too many new things.

New knowledge, new theories, new vocabulary, new ways of thinking...

Now, no longer entangled by 'mundane affairs', he wanted to quickly return to his own workshop and conduct proper research.

No matter what it was.

In short, as long as he started moving, everything would turn out fine.

However.

Just as he was about to arrive at his Manor in the Imperial Capital, he bumped into a guy he somewhat expected to see.

One of the Imperial Twin Moons—Albert.
