"Let's talk about it later." Celia interrupted directly, saying that everything should be discussed after Lord finished his meal, as these were all small matters.
Who made this man hungry?
However, she still turned to Bishop Casalius and Duke Hod, and nodded slightly as a return gesture: "I am Celie, and he..." Celie looked at Lord.
This time she did not intend to fabricate an identity for this man, but instead gave the choice to him.
"I'm Lord."
Celia: "?"
She looked at the man in front of her with some disbelief.
Hasn't this guy always been reluctant to reveal his identity? Why is he suddenly showing off this time?
"Lord." Duke Hod was stunned when he heard the familiar name. "Your Excellency actually shares the same name as that God Slayer. It's truly a coincidence that seems like fate."
Obviously, even after witnessing Lord's power, even after seeing him appear next to Celie, even after seeing him call himself Lord, the Duke did not associate him with the godslayer from a thousand years ago.
After all, no one could have imagined that a human being could live for a thousand years.
I'm afraid this is also the common view of most people. On the contrary, it is a minority who calmly accept the fact that Lord is the godslayer like Fulilian.
"Lord?" The bishop looked hesitant.
Although he also thought at first that the Lord in front of him was a person with the same name and surname.
But this power and coincidence are totally unacceptable.
But now, the bishop could only bury this doubt in his heart.
At least, the Celia before him was a real thing.
Everyone had seen the other party cast the barrier just now. With such a powerful barrier and the holy sword in the other party's hand, there was no doubt that the blonde elf in front of them was Celie herself.
It's a pity that Orger put it away before Lord landed, otherwise the bishop would probably have more suspicions in his mind.
"It's Lady Celia and Lord Lord!"
The two men became more respectful, even with a hint of fear.
Lord didn't react much to the two men's respect. He just stretched and said, "Okay, no need to be so polite. Can you arrange a place for us to rest first? And get us some food? I think the child is hungry too."
He pointed at Fulilian, who was standing on her own because she was too embarrassed to be held by Volame because there were too many people beside her.
Fulilian was suddenly called out. Facing the gazes of so many people, especially Celia's cold gaze, she was stunned: "I, I didn't."
She tried to argue, but no one listened.
"Of course!" Duke Hood responded quickly, "I'll arrange it right away. Please wait a moment." He personally led the way, with a very kind attitude, without any airs of a city lord at all.
After all, the person in front of me is Celia!
The most powerful being of the elves, his status is even higher than that of the King of Elf. As a duke, he has nothing to be proud of in front of him.
Bishop Casalius smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will make careful preparations." He glanced at Volame and Ella and added, "You two should go together."
So, under the gazes of countless awe and curiosity, Lord and his party followed the city lord and the bishop into the city.
The remaining soldiers began to clean up the battlefield. Although there was nothing to clean up, after all, all the monsters were gone without a trace left, but the ravine outside the city still needed to be repaired.
Otherwise, it would be very inconvenient to enter and exit every time. During the repair process, countless soldiers were enthusiastically discussing Lord's attack just now.
The names of Lord and Celiai, as well as their incredible strength, were destined to spread throughout the city tonight and soon shake the entire continent.
Crescent City, in the banquet hall.
The long dining table was filled with various delicacies and fine wines.
Lord Hod sat in his main seat, but he seemed a little uncomfortable at the moment.
He originally wanted to give this position to Lord or Celie in front of him, but they both refused without exception.
Lord simply didn't want to steal the show. Besides, although they saved the city this time, the trouble was also caused by Volame and Ella. He was still very reasonable.
As for Celie, she was simply not interested in the seating arrangement.
At this moment, both of them were sitting on the far right. Lord had already started enjoying a piece of perfectly grilled lamb chops, while Celie sat next to him, slowly savoring the wine in front of her, obviously not interested in the dishes in front of her.
Fulilian sat between Volame and Ella, eating the dessert in front of her in small bites. From time to time, her big eyes secretly glanced at Lord and Celie, and then quickly lowered her head.
Volame and Ella had no appetite and were still filled with guilt.
The atmosphere at the banquet was subtly quiet.
Finally, Lord broke the silence. He swallowed the food in his mouth, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and looked at Volame and Ella: "Okay, now tell me. What happened? How did you make such a big fuss? And attract such a large group of monsters?"
His tone was calm, without any blame, just a simple inquiry.
Volame and Ella looked at each other, and Volame spoke up, recounting the entire story in detail.
From the attack on Fulilian's village, to Fulilian being severely injured and forced to draw on the magic power of the barrier to teleport the other party, to being imprisoned, until the monster tide broke out and she took the initiative to ask for battle...
After listening to the narration, Lord touched his chin and looked at Fulilian: "It turns out that he has been strengthened. It seems that guy has not been idle." He was referring to the Demon King Annalize.
Celie put down her wine glass and said coldly, "You two idiots, although your method is stupid, it is understandable."
Her words seemed like criticism, but in fact they had already defined the behavior of the two people.
The original intention was good, but the process was reckless, and they needed to clean up the mess as a result.
Duke Hode and Bishop Casalius quickly said, "You two Excellencies are also trying to save lives. The situation is urgent. It is understandable, completely understandable!"
After seeing the strength of Lord and Celie, they dared not pursue anything further. It was a blessing that they did not delve into the issue of their detention of the two.
Lord smiled and looked at the bishop and the city lord. "The fact that this monster tide arrived earlier and on a larger scale isn't entirely due to the weakening of the barrier. I sense an unusual guiding aura hidden deep within the monster tide, as if it were being artificially catalyzed and driven here."
Bishop Casalius's expression froze. "Lord, what do you mean...?"
"It's most likely the work of the demons, probably at the level of Seventh Collapse Sage." Lord said with a hint of meaning, "They sensed the weakness of your barrier and took advantage of it. Even if it weren't for my apprentice's incident, you'd still be in big trouble this time."
These words gave Duke Hod and Bishop Casarius a chill down their spines, and also slightly alleviated the guilt in Volame and Ella's hearts. It turned out that the abnormal monster tide was not entirely their fault.
"I see." Bishop Casalius said respectfully, "If the two gentlemen had not arrived in time, Crescent City would have fallen long ago. I apologize for any slight offense I caused to Miss Volame and Miss Ella..."
"Hey, let's not talk about this." Lord immediately waved his hand. "Speaking of which, I have to thank you for not making things difficult for my two careless disciples."
"How about this," he tapped the table lightly with his fingers, as if a sudden thought occurred to him. "As compensation, and as a thank you for your hospitality, I'll help you fill up that depleted barrier."
"What!?" Duke Hod and Bishop Casalius stood up suddenly, their faces full of ecstasy.
Filling the magic power deficit in the barrier's core? Lord Lord actually said it so easily!
Lord ignored their shock, stood up, walked to the window of the banquet hall, and looked towards the direction of the barrier tower in the center of the city.
He stretched out his right hand, his palm facing that direction, and a barely perceptible glimmer flashed in his eyes.
He didn't cast any magic, but obvious magical fluctuations were evident from him.
Celie beside her also stopped what she was doing. Although the man concealed it very well so that no one present could notice, she saw it clearly.
Lord was using the magic power in Org to fill the gap in the barrier. He didn't even know when Org was thrown above the barrier tower by this man.
boom! ! !
A vast torrent of magical power seemed to appear out of thin air, but in fact it was released from the sword of Org. However, because the light was too strong and Org was completely enveloped in it, no one noticed its existence.
This torrent of magical power was injected into the core of the barrier in the distance with incredible precision.
Everyone in Crescent City could feel a powerful magical force instantly filling the city's air. The barrier above, which had originally been dim, suddenly burst into a blue light that was brighter than ever before.
The newly formed barrier light curtain was as thick as a substance, and the energy fluctuations it emitted were even greater than before it was extracted.
In just a few breaths, the deficit in the core of the barrier was completely filled.
Duke Hode and Bishop Casalius were completely speechless, their bodies trembling slightly with excitement.
This is simply a miracle! No, it even surpasses a miracle!
Lord withdrew his hand, and Orger was also called back by him. "I also reinforced yours. The next time we encounter a monster wave of this size, you should be able to hold out a little longer. This should be a draw."
Volame looked at the teacher's calm demeanor, his eyes full of admiration.
Celie curled her lips slightly, as if she found Lord's ostentatious behavior a little funny.
Fulilian stared with her eyes wide open and her fists clenched unconsciously.
Too strong!
The atmosphere at the banquet finally became completely relaxed.
After the end, Lord and others were arranged to rest in the most luxurious guest room in the City Lord's Mansion.
In the room, Lord and his group gathered together, including Fulilian.
"Teacher, I'm sorry..." Volame and Ella apologized again.
"I'll punish you when we get back." Celie said from the side.
"Don't be so reckless next time." Lord waved his hand without blaming her. Instead, he looked at Fulilian and said, "By the way, I forgot to ask you before. How are you feeling? Are you feeling any discomfort?"
After experiencing two teleportation spells in a short period of time, most magicians would feel a little dizzy.
"No, but I want to know how my village is doing?"
"Only about one-third of the people survived, and almost half of the houses were destroyed." Volame answered from the side.
She and Ella took each other to this city after settling Fulilian's village.
"What are you going to do next?" Although he had already said that he would let Fulilian become Volame's disciple, Lord still planned to ask the other party's opinion.
"I want to go back to the village, and then..." Fulilian's eyes were confused for a moment, and then she seemed to have made some kind of decision, "I want to go with you!"
Lord and Celie looked at each other.
Celia said calmly, "Your magical aptitude is quite good, but it's a pity that you're a little dumb."
Volame's eyes lit up, as if he understood something, and he looked at the two teachers expectantly.
Could it be that Mr. Lord wants to accept Fulilian as his disciple as well?
"In that case, you will learn magic from Volame from now on."
Volame: "?"
"From now on, she will be your disciple." Lord said to Volame.
"Well, that, Mr. Lord, I have never been a teacher, and I..." Volame seemed a little at a loss.
