Chapter 87

~11 min read 2,063 words

Castle hall.

In the hall where demons were dancing, and everyone was shocked to the point of being at a loss, like sleepwalking, a majestic female voice suddenly sounded.

"Silence!" Rosa said sharply, and deep purple magic erupted from her body, setting off layers of air waves rolling in all directions.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

After being blown by this cold wind, the people whose brains were overloaded gradually woke up.

"It hurts, it's not a dream..." The two brothers, Luo Yi and Roland, covered their red faces and muttered to themselves.

The facial muscles of Warren and Albert finally gradually stopped twitching.

Edward, with wet hair and in a mess, took a deep breath and finally confirmed that this was not a dream, but a bizarre reality.

Victor... although he no longer repeated "impossible," his gloomy face was even paler, as if he were a dead person, and he didn't even blink.

Because whether it was a dream or reality, he felt that his end could only be miserable or even more miserable.

Damn it, the kid he teased casually at the banquet was actually a prince of an unprecedented superpower, 1.4 billion citizens... those bards wouldn't dare to write fairy tales like this!

And Bishop Lu En, who was full of resentment because of the temporary change of godfather, had his resentment long since vanished, replaced by panic and anxiety.

He had just used his hand to push this Highness, who could no longer be described simply as noble, and it was simply an unforgivable sin!

Although logically speaking, he was a servant serving God and shouldn't be affected by the status of secular people.

But the number 1.4 billion was simply too terrifying!

The future master of 1.4 billion citizens, even if the Storm and Hunting God he served came in person, would have to treat him with courtesy.

Because the other party could almost be seen as the symbol of "humanity."

"You, why are you stunned? Come over and pay homage to this Highness, so as not to let this Highness, Mingyu Xia, feel that our Southern Region lords are all like those barbarians in the North, rude and impolite."

Rosa scolded coldly.

This was both a reprimand and a reminder to the lords.

Up to this point, under Rosa's two consecutive reminders, the people in the hall finally returned to calm... as if!

"Your Highness, greetings to you who are incomparably noble, forgive me for being blind and failing to recognize your identity..."

"Your Highness Mingyu, being able to offer blessings to my comrade's child with you is the honor of my life, please you must allow me to toast you a glass of wine!"

"Your Highness, do you like horses? As the saying goes, a good horse matches a hero; I recently got a black horse, its fur is as dazzling as your hair, I think you must be the most suitable owner for it!"

The lords said with flushed faces, crowding around Xia Mingyu and talking all at once, racking their brains to search for words of praise in their minds, in order to get the favor of this unprecedentedly noble Highness.

After all, even that cold-faced killer Kalen could make this Highness recognize his child as a godson, something even more fantastic than fairy tale epics, there's no reason they can't do it?!

"Enough, you will disturb His Highness like this, retreat quickly!"

Rosa frowned and whispered.

Forced by the majesty of the Southern Region Lord, the lords retreated slowly with unwillingness, among whom Warren Rock, the Lord of the Rock Territory, had already bent down to kiss the Highness's shoe tip, but was dragged away by other lords.

Clip-clop, clip-clop.

Rosa walked slowly toward Xia Mingyu, and as the distance closed, the serious expression on her face, which was full of gullies, melted like snow, revealing a warm and brilliant smile like a spring breeze.

"Your Highness, it is an honor for you to be my grandson's godfather; even if I can barely be considered an old person who has seen some storms, it is inevitable to be shocked when witnessing your identity with my own eyes."

"Please forgive my impoliteness." Rosa bowed and saluted slightly.

Afterward...

"Your Highness, you have arrived in the Southern Region, and you are my grandson's godfather, please you must come to Twilight City, the center of our Southern Region, to be a guest, and let this old woman fulfill some of the duties of a host."

Rosa said with a full face of smiles, her deep purple eyes, which were the same as her daughter's, looking at Xia Mingyu with a bit more heat.

Her eldest son Luo Yi's wife is pregnant again; if it's a boy, she doesn't ask for His Highness to be the godfather, as long as there is one blessing, even if she exchanges half of Twilight City, she is willing!

After all, she knew very well that no matter how many external things one possesses in this world, it is not as good as a line of protection on one's head, because that is the protection of the world under one's feet!

The lords: "???"

Good, you drove us away just to let yourself sneak off?

"Countess, thank you for your invitation, I will go if I have the chance." Xia Mingyu said very politely.

One reason is because Countess Masha still smiled at him friendly when she hadn't seen his protection.

The second and most important reason is that after living in the Southern Region for such a long time, he had already learned that the Southern Region is the only paradise in the Socia Kingdom, which is currently full of famine.

And the person who created this paradise is Countess Masha's deceased husband, Red Fire, and Countess Masha herself, who has always called for lowering taxes, is also one of the creators of this paradise.

So no matter what, Xia Mingyu would treat this old lady with respect.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

At this moment, Kalen brought a bowl of clear water and sprinkled a little on Danielle's face with his fingers.

The cold water flow made Danielle gradually wake up and open her eyes.

Then she looked at the sleeping Haidun in the baby basket for the first time, or rather, the "Godson of the King" in deep blue above his head.

"Hahahahahahahaha, great, it's done, it's done!"

"My son was born a Crescent Moon, he is the Godson of the King!"

Danielle Masha, known as the Southern Region Flower and famous for her beauty and elegance, lost all her demeanor at this moment, opening her mouth wide and laughing like a madman.

The crazy laughter made Xia Mingyu unable to help but frown slightly.

Crack!

Without any hesitation, Kalen chopped a hand knife toward the back of Danielle's neck.

Bang, Danielle fainted again.

But this time it wasn't fainting from happiness, but being knocked out by her husband.

Seeing this, Rosa gave Kalen an approving look.

She felt for the first time that her daughter deserved a beating, because even she was a little jealous of her daughter.

Haidun is her grandson, not her own grandson.

The lords in the hall, including Danielle's former pursuers, none of them felt surprised by Danielle's crazy appearance.

Because the fact that he was born with Crescent Moon Rank status protection was simply too terrifying!

In the Socia Kingdom, the two princes of the King of Gluttony, when they were born, had all the great nobles of the country go together to offer blessings, and had the Cardinal Bishop of the Storm Church's holy city come from thousands of miles away to recognize them as godsons, and even had all the citizens celebrate the birth of the princes together.

After such a cumbersome and resource-consuming process, they barely managed to make the two princes possess Crescent Moon Rank status protection at birth.

And now, this Highness only did one thing, recognizing a godson, and forcibly promoted Haidun's protection to the Crescent Moon Rank.

The lords of the Southern Region suspected that even without their blessings, as long as this Highness was there, Haidun's protection would still be Crescent Moon Rank.

This meant that Haidun Hughes possessed the same starting point as the princes of the Kingdom!

If it were their children born with Crescent Moon Rank, dancing naked on the spot would be considered a conservative estimate!

Thinking of this, the eyes of the lords turned red.

This is an unprecedented, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

They don't ask for this Highness to recognize their children as godsons, as long as there is one blessing, even if they kneel on the spot to pledge allegiance, they are willing!

After all, their families have been trapped in the Viscount rank for over a hundred years.

"Lords, I have one thing I want to ask of you."

Xia Mingyu looked at the lords in front of him and said slowly.

"Your Highness, just say it, even if it's to accompany you through the Mist of Loss, across the World Serpent, and break through the Sighing Ice Wall, I am willing to serve you, my noble Highness."

Warren was the first to bow and salute, saying passionately.

Brown-noser!

"Your Highness, I am the same..." The other lords cursed in their hearts and stepped forward to express their stance one after another.

There were few fools among those who could become lords; they guessed for the first time that this Highness in front of them probably came from the Eastern Continent and wanted to go back.

After all, the human race in the entire Western Continent didn't add up to 1.4 billion.

Considering this point, Warren's words just now were undoubtedly the best stance.

And this couldn't be considered a lie; as long as this noble Highness could leave a blessing first, they wouldn't mind sacrificing their lives to embark on the voyage with this Highness.

After all, exchanging a life for the family's prosperity is very worth it!

Maybe Kalen relied on this to get that Highness to agree to be his son's godfather.

"You misunderstood." Xia Mingyu shook his head.

"I just hope you can guarantee not to leak my identity to anyone, including ordering the confidants and family members you brought today to do the same."

Xia Mingyu said.

If he didn't make this request, maybe in a few days, the news that a kingdom heir with 1.4 billion citizens had arrived in the Southern Region would spread throughout the world.

Hearing this, the lords quickly analyzed the gains and losses.

Leaking this Highness's news has no benefits.

And judging from the various bad behaviors of the King of Gluttony in the past, like a madman, if he goes crazy again and attacks this Highness in the future, it might lead to a war between the two countries, plunging the entire Socia into the flames of war; not good, not good.

Not leaking it... a Highness who has no ties and lives in the Southern Region for a long time, the benefits brought by that would be too great!

"Your Highness, I swear with my honor that if I or my servants leak your news, let me be mocked by others for a lifetime and never be respected again."

"Your Highness, I swear to the gods..."

After just a few seconds, the lords swore one after another that they would never leak the news.

Except for Victor, whose face was pale.

"You are disloyal to the King of Socia by doing this, I am ashamed to be with you!" Victor scolded the crowd angrily.

In fact, his heart was bleeding; he also wanted to please this Highness to obtain benefits, but helplessly he had already offended him miserably; putting himself in his shoes, if he were this Highness, he would never let himself go.

Therefore, the only way to survive now is to quickly bring the other party's news to the King of Gluttony, so that not only can he survive, but he might also be able to exchange intelligence for a chance to be promoted to a higher rank.

Thinking of this, Victor's feet slipped, and a grayish-white torrent of magic erupted from his body, and he rushed toward the outside of the hall at an extremely fast speed like an arrow off a bowstring.
