Chapter 571 Reunion
Allen was blasted out of the main dojo of the Water God School by Leda and Dantoris.

The good news is that no one has drawn their sword, and things seem to still have room for maneuver.

The bad news was that when Dantoris helped Allen to the door, he asked him through gritted teeth:

"You actually dared to do something as absurd as amending the law? Allen, just tell me the truth, how many wives are you planning to marry? So I'll have a better idea."

Allen turned to look at him: "Would you believe me if I said four?"

Dantoris was furious: "Izoluti! Sylphie! Princess Ariel! Who else?"

Alan looked at him in surprise: "And Ariel?"

Dantoris's expression turned almost horrified: "You haven't even included Princess Ariel yet?"

The two looked at each other speechlessly.

Subsequently, the dignified three-god level swordsman was kicked out of the main dojo of the Water God School by a superior swordsman.

Allen turned to look at Dantoris, who was pointing at him through the iron gate with a look of disappointment and then waving goodbye. He then looked at Xinuo beside him.

The latter gave him a helpless look.

Snowflakes fell from the sky, scattered in front of Allen, fell to the ground, and melted.
At that moment, he felt that life was as lonely as snow.

He turned around, patted the shoe prints off his pants, and headed home.

slip away.

The streets are lonely, but the home is not.

There's also a beautiful young woman from the Long-Eared Tribe and her obedient and considerate younger sister waiting for her to eat.

Footsteps echoed through the street as Allen walked slowly down the street.

The latest news from the palace, sent by Dantoris, flashed through his mind again.

Gravel is a smart man.

He did indeed change the law in accordance with his own wishes on the surface, making only minor alterations, yet he achieved several underlying objectives.

For example, through this struggle for the crown prince, Gravel has realized that Boreas has become too powerful to control. Since he cannot afford to offend Allen, he has no choice but to gradually weaken the power of the four dukes through the succession rights, in order to protect his royal descendants.

For example, if the marriage market among the nobility is thrown into complete chaos, then if Allen is lecherous and marries several women, he'll be making a killing. In this way, the deeper Allen's entanglement with the old nobility becomes, the more likely any future changes will be that a bunch of nobles will hold him back.

But Allen had no intention of confronting him.

Because Gravel's clever tricks are completely meaningless.

Boreas's strength does not depend on a powerful ducal title or influence distributed throughout the capital, but rather on Allen's personal influence.

If he can change the law once, he can change it a second time, and a third time.

Moreover, it remains unknown whether the Kingdom of Asura will still be able to use the current royal family's surname a hundred years from now.

The falling snow bumped into him, but before it could even touch his shoulders or back, it was blown aside by the wind swirling around him.

Braving the wind and snow, they arrived at the city walls of the Free District and the Noble District.

A crowd of people had gathered three or four deep around the city wall, with many well-dressed nobles queuing up to enter the noble district, their faces flushed with excitement.

From a distance, the soldiers stood in a circle on the perimeter, maintaining order, with Hill Chers prominently at the front.

When Allen saw him, he wanted to go over and greet him, and ask why there were so many people at the city gate.

But before he could take two steps, he suddenly saw his wife, dressed in bright clothes, with a seductive look and lips painted like she was about to eat a child, complaining about something beside him. Allen stopped, shielded the passersby in front of him, covered his face, turned around and quietly left. He chose a corner with few people and used his breath magic to fly over the city wall.

—This is what a scumbag who upholds male virtues looks like.

It wasn't because every time she saw him, she would come up and pretend to put her arm around his, greeting him in a sticky, affected voice, while Aisha and Shilufi stood by with livid faces, looking as if they wanted to draw their knives and kill her.

After passing the city wall, Allen used a little bit of his battle aura to travel, but even so, he was as hard to spot as a ghost in the eyes of passersby.

In less than five minutes, they arrived at the street of the Boreas mansion.

Around the corner, hey.

Sure enough, Hilfi and Aisha were at the door.

However, Allen looked somewhat bewildered.

Because the two weren't waiting for him, but rather...
Greeting guests.

In sight, young and beautiful girls sported the most fashionable hairstyles in the capital, wore the most suitable jewelry, dressed in colorful gowns, and wore jeweled high heels, arm in arm with glamorous noblemen.
A long line formed at the entrance, with people waiting in turn to visit the Boreas Palace.

Aisha and Sylphie looked rather unpleasant, but because of their respective roles as butlers and mistresses, they forced themselves to remain calm and politely declined the offers from the nobles one by one.
A blind date invitation.

It was incredibly lively.

Allen was stunned for a while. The image of Chers' wife's displeased face flashed through his mind, and he suddenly realized what those nobles queuing up outside the city gates to enter the city were doing.
These are clearly minor nobles from the Free Zone who have heard the news and are rushing to attend the selection ceremony for the young master of the Boreas family!

Oh? You mean these nobles are so ordinary yet so confident?

That must be because Miss Hilfiet is clearly a commoner without a surname, right?

Doesn't this clearly prove that the direct heir of the Boreas family, the future duke, doesn't care about family background, but rather purely based on first impressions?
If Miss Hilfiet can do it, why can't we?
Upon realizing this, Allen wore an absurd expression, slightly bent his knees, and leaped.

The breath attack blasted a collapsed hole in the sole of his foot!

His body soared into the air, leaping dozens of meters across the distance, before crashing to the ground along with the falling snow beside him due to the reaction force of the breath technique.

Lighter than a feather.

The hustle and bustle of the Bereas mansion suddenly fell silent.

Hilfi and Aisha both turned to look at him.

Instead of speaking to these nonsensical nobles, Allen used the Flowing Technique to envelop Sylphie and Aisha, brushing away the snow from their bodies, and then released a scorching hand with a diameter of two meters, centered on his own body:
"If you're going to refuse them, you should let them into the mansion. What kind of talk is it to just stand at the gate?"

Aisha glanced at the shoulder where Allen had brushed snow off her earlier, and the gloomy expression on her face vanished like snowflakes rapidly vaporizing in the surrounding air. She smiled, revealing two dimples, and looked at Allen, feigning displeasure, saying:
“Young Madam Hilfi is waiting for the young master to return, and there’s not enough room for so many people at home. It wouldn’t be good to disturb the mistress.”

Allen's lips twitched as he looked at the window of the Boreas mansion.

Hilda was standing at a window on the far third floor, sipping her red tea and watching the show with a smile, seemingly undisturbed.

At that moment, Lil and Hilda spoke to each other, and she waved to Allen from afar before disappearing through the window.

Beside him, Hilfi was straightening Allen's slightly crooked shirt collar:
“Young Master Ai just went to the palace this morning and heard that His Highness Gravel has changed the law. Now a duke can marry ten wives, which is more than I imagined.”

Although the cold wind didn't bother him, Allen still had goosebumps all over his body at this moment.

He coughed lightly: "This was an accident. I didn't mean ten."

Hilfi smiled and gestured to the side, "Young Master, you should deal with the current situation first."

Allen looked to his side.

An elderly nobleman with a long, curly, and elaborately styled yet well-groomed beard coughed lightly and nodded to him, saying:
"I have long heard of the 'Fox of Boreas,' and seeing it today, it is indeed extraordinary."

He was arm in arm with her, her figure clearly not conforming to the capital's aesthetic standards. Instead, a noblewoman with a figure similar to that of a clerk, like Sylphie, wore a low-cut evening gown, her face flushed, her eyes downcast as she looked at the ground. She covered her chest in a noblewoman's curtsy and whispered:
"Young Master Allen, it's a pleasure to meet you."

This greeting also startled the long line of noble ladies behind them.

With their pretty faces, the girls, carefully selected by their families, had never seen such a pretentious entrance before. They were all stunned for a moment, and then before Allen could even speak, they burst into huge cheers!
Then they all started chatting with Allen! "Young Master Allen!! Nice to meet you!! I am..."

Allen: "You're not."

"Young Master Allen is so handsome! Was that swordsmanship just now? It was amazing!"

Allen: "Not impressive."

"Nice to meet you. Miss Sylviete is indeed as gentle as the rumors say, and she has a wonderful figure too~"

Allen: "That's true."

These are the women of noble families; they are relatively conservative and their behavior is quite proper.

"Young Master Allen, what do you think of me? Even if I'm not suitable as a concubine, I'm fine as a lover!!"

Allen: "Who are you?"

"Young Master Allen~ Look this way, you'll definitely like my figure~"

Allen: "I'm blind."

"Young Master Allen, I am a half-blood of the Long-Eared Clan! Please look at me! Miss Sylphie and I will definitely serve you well!"

Allen: "Your ears are props! I'm not blind!"

—This is a woman from a minor noble family. She is impetuous in her behavior and speaks and acts in a very unseemly manner.

"Young Master Allen!!! Look at my wife!"

—This is the selfless faction, quite like the Asura nobility, very respectable.

Allen screamed inwardly: What utter nonsense!
Just then, the sound of a magic chariot could be heard in the distance.

Allen turned his head sharply and saw Rudy driving towards them with Seven Stars in the distance. They were stuck in traffic, and Allen looked at the brightly dressed women in front of him with a blank expression, wondering why.
Allen's eyes lit up, and he roared, "Enough!!"

He waved his hand, speaking softly, yet his voice carried clearly across the gates of the Boreas mansion:
"His Highness Gravel's legal revisions today were not aimed at the Boreas family! I was unaware of them beforehand!"

However, I am writing to inform you today that I have found my soulmate and have no intention of getting married!

Of course, if any of you noble ladies reach the appropriate age and wish to embark on a romantic relationship, I believe the Notos family possesses the necessary conditions. As far as I know, my friend, Rudius Notos Greirat, is currently unmarried.

He waved his hand and pointed to Rudy at the back of the line, who was staring wide-eyed at Allen, and greeted him with an exaggerated expression:

"What a coincidence! Rudy! You've come at just the right time!"
"Come, come, come and see! These noble ladies have all come for you!"

Rudy: "Huh??"

Although Rudy was confused, he realized what was going on after hearing Allen's words. He had seen a similar spectacle two years ago in June, so this was not unexpected.

Allen's words left him speechless. He wanted to jerk the steering wheel and flee, but his mind raced and his body betrayed him by shifting the car into neutral.

Seven Stars was even more dumbfounded than Rudy, turning to look at him: "Are you driving?!"

late.

The young noblewomen who were queuing behind them immediately lit up and stepped forward to promote themselves.

A fragrant breeze wafted over, and amidst Seven Stars' somewhat distraught expression, Rudy, even though he was now the mature version of Rudy, still supernaturally swatted away Seven Stars's claws that were trying to steal his gear, and a lewd smile that hadn't been seen in a long time reappeared.

—Here he comes! Although I don't know why things turned out this way, this is Lord Eren!
That's the magic of Project Green Leaf!
It's back! Everything's back!! This is the time I, Rudeus, have always wanted to return to, that time in Buena village that I can never go back to!

Sarah! I'm so sorry!!

It's still early! I'll enjoy the world first! Once I meet you, I'll settle down and become a good husband!

"Rudius!"

Surrounded by a swarm of bees and butterflies, Seven Stars' roar was utterly helpless.

Meanwhile, in the distance, Alstead, who was waiting to find Allen on the walls of two streets, watched the entire absurd scene unfold.

His face was tense, fierce, and as usual.

However, after observing it from a distance for a long time, its stone-carved demeanor indicated that even Boss Long had not seen this situation often, and he clearly found it interesting deep down.

So he turned and left.

In front of the gates of the Boreas mansion, the nobles clearly knew that the so-called direct descendant of the Notos family still had unresolved conflicts with his own family, and that the so-called head of the family was far away from the capital and had no sense of propriety.

They frowned, then turned to look for Allen again.

However, the iron gates of the Boreas mansion were clanging loudly in sight.

Aside from the bewildered maids, where was the real person?
-

Allen grabbed one of them with each arm, tumbling Aisha and Sylphie to the ground before slamming the door shut behind him.

Hilfi glanced at Aisha, who was secretly observing her, then at Eren's arm, which had been around Aisha's waist, before looking at Eren with a calm expression:

"Allen is still the same as ever. He's clearly a big shot now, but he's still not very good at handling these kinds of situations."

Aisha breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw that Sylvie hadn't noticed that Allen had carried the two of them as they fled into the house. Then, Rudy's expression from earlier flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but laugh.

"Young Master is so mean! My brother's face was frozen just now!"

Hilfi chimed in, "But that scene just now vaguely reminded me of the village of Buena. Back then, Alan and Rudy spent all their time together like that, haha. So much has happened in the past few years. I always felt that scene happened a long time ago, but now that I think about it, it's only been a few years."

Allen rubbed his temples: "Stop making fun of me."

The conversation ended there.

The three of them looked at the open dining room door next to the mansion's main hall.

The door was ajar, and the once warm living room carried a discordant chill.

Faint conversations could be heard through the crack in the door.

—A respectful voice from a mature woman.

—The clear, foolish voice of a mature man.

—The greeting came from a young woman who spoke slowly and stammered, seemingly not very good at socializing.

—And the hostess's words of hospitality, a blend of authority and gentleness.

Lil was standing at the door, holding a cup of red tea, ready to go in and greet the guests who had slipped in through the side door.

When she saw the three of them enter, she smiled, said nothing, and simply reached out to open the restaurant door.

squeak
The first snowflakes were falling outside the window, while the fireplace inside was warm.

The person who came was not a guest.

Allen looked at Loki, Lilia, and Paul, who were sitting at the dining table, looking somewhat awkward.

They are returning travelers.
