Chapter 529 Two Rich Ladies (Two in One)

"Miss! Your loyal guard is here!"

Holding double swords, after directly chopping down dozens of orc warriors, Waddington finally came in front of Adela.

The originally murderous and terrifying aura was immediately restrained, and he bowed to Adela with great respect.

"Uncle Waddington, you've come just in time!"

Adela did not foolishly ask Waddington why he was here.

On the contrary, he was very glad that he appeared here in time, otherwise his group might have suffered heavy losses.

"Miss, you came to Sunset Forest to explore alone. When the Duke found out, he was very worried about your safety. He asked me to ask you to go back!"

Although the Holy Continent has changed from a kingdom system to a holy city system, the title system has been retained.

And all the original kings of the kingdoms were automatically demoted one level down.

For example, the king of the empire became a duke, while the kings of smaller kingdoms became marquises, and the kings of even smaller vassal states became counts.

For example, Laci's father was an earl.

And from the title of Duke, Gervis finally understood that Adela was indeed a rich lady.

If it weren't for the catastrophe two hundred years ago, the Holy Continent would still be dotted with kingdoms of all sizes, and Adela would be the princess of a huge empire.

"Uncle Waddington, this is my first adventure alone. Please let me complete it. When I go back, I will promise Grandpa (grandfather) that I will never do this again."

To be honest, Adela really felt the dangers of adventuring alone this time, even though she had many ways to save her life.

But he was unable to protect Zenia and his teammates, so this adventure was not as exciting and novel as we have seen in previous dramas.

"Yes, my dear Miss Adela!"

Waddington bowed respectfully again and performed a noble etiquette towards Adela, then turned to look at Aardman.

"Orc, did you want to hurt Miss Adela just now?!"

Waddington's aura exploded instantly, and a terrifying gleam appeared in his eyes.

"They were the ones who killed my nephew and his subordinates, so blood must be paid with blood!"

Aardman also had a burst of momentum, although his strength might be weaker than Waddington's, but if they really fought, it wouldn't necessarily depend on the level of their realm.

Moreover, he has far more subordinates than Adela and the others, so the chances of winning are greater on their side.

"Blood debt to be paid with blood? Are you worthy?"

With the rise of Waddington's two-handed giant sword, the momentum of both sides surged and a war was about to break out.

Adela and her companions quickly ran to the side to avoid being affected by the battle.

"What's going on here? It's so lively!"

Just when the two were about to take action, voices were heard again from behind.

I saw a middle-aged man leading a team of dozens of people to the halfway point of the mountain. The aura of this middle-aged man was no less than that of Waddington and others.

"It's Aardman and Waddington! Are you preparing for a life-and-death battle? Now that the gate to the magician's tower has been opened, you actually have time to fight here?"

The middle-aged man walked towards the two men with a smile, not caring at all about the impending battle between Waddington and Aardman.

"Laird, this orc is trying to hurt Miss Adela!"

Seeing that the visitor was Laird from the Golden Shield Holy City, and that the Golden Shield family had one of the highest status in the alliance, Waddington began to explain.

"Oh? Aardman, is this really true? You are so bold that you even dare to hurt Princess Adela?"

"Sir Laird, it was this human girl and her companions who killed my nephew and his subordinates last night, so I am seeking revenge on them."

Although the relationship between humans and orcs is tense, humans have rich lands, while orcs occupy vast jungles.

Therefore, the two sides will still conduct some trade, which is a win-win situation.

And this Laird had represented the Golden Shield Family to go to the Orc King's Court to discuss trade, which was why Laird and Aardman knew each other.

"Really? Aardman, do you have any evidence?"

Laird would not have cared about such things at first, but when he saw it was Aardman, he stepped forward and tried to mediate.

Because he and Aardman had reached a lot of shady secret deals. If Aardman died, the Golden Shield Family would have to spend a lot of time and effort to find other orcs to trade with.

"Of course there is!"

"Bullshit! You have no evidence at all. Just because Gesang had a conflict with us yesterday, you want to frame us!"

When Laci saw Adela's subordinates coming, and the presence of the Golden Shield Family, one of the most powerful families in the alliance, he immediately gained confidence and started cursing at Aardman.

"Human boy..."

"Orc, come on, challenge me to a duel today to decide life or death. Otherwise, the matter of you offending Miss Adela today cannot be resolved."

Aardman became furious when he was scolded by the human boy Lachi.

Just as he was about to raise his knife to make some movement, Waddington held the sword in both hands in front of his chest and spoke coldly.

"Waddington, this Aardman is an important target of the Golden Shield Family's trade in the Orc King's Court, so I hope that for the sake of the Golden Shield Family, you can let me help mediate and resolve this matter peacefully."

Aardman didn't know Adela's background or how powerful Waddington was, but Laird did.

So he understood that Aardman was definitely no match for Waddington, and he quickly came over to the two of them and tried to persuade them again.

"Aardman, what evidence do you have that Miss Adela and his companions killed your nephew?"

"Adelman, our Golden Shield family has trade relations with the prince. I am helping you solve your problem now, so you must answer truthfully."

After persuading Waddington, Laird immediately asked Aardman, and there was a hidden meaning in his words.

"I……"

Aardman was speechless. Laird's words were very clear, asking him to tell the truth.

Moreover, the reason why he has his current status is actually related to the help of the Golden Shield Family, so he dare not speak nonsense anymore.

He had no evidence at all and was speechless.

Gesang died on the street and no one knew who killed him.

He just wanted to pick an easy target to kill so that he could give an explanation to his wife when he returned to the royal court.

"But he just killed many of my subordinates. How do we solve this problem?"

Since Gesan’s matter could not be brought up, Aardman could only change the subject immediately.

He would definitely not admit defeat. If it weren't for Laird, he would also want to fight a life-and-death battle with Waddington.

"What if I killed you? If it weren't for Laird, I would have killed you in addition to those orcs!"

Waddington spat out coldly.

"Human, come on!"

roar!

At this moment, a roar suddenly came from the sky.

Everyone looked up and saw that there were suddenly more than a dozen figures in the sky not far away. They were clearly human griffins.

The black spot came closer and closer. In just over ten seconds, the black spot in the distant sky flew over. More than ten griffins kept circling in the sky, scaring the orcs halfway up the mountain to tremble.

In previous wars with humans, griffins were the nightmare of these orcs.

After circling for a moment, the griffins swooped down and landed directly in front of Adela.

"I meet Miss Adela!"

"Well, get up! You've worked hard!"

Adela nodded slightly and gave a soft instruction.

"Yes! Miss!"

"They even sent out griffins! It seems that your Marquis really loves Princess Adela!"

Laird was also extremely surprised when he saw the dozen or so griffins and the rider in silver armor holding a huge hammer.

"Laird, I'm very sorry. Now that things have come to this, and this orc is determined to die, I will grant his wish!"

Seeing that the griffin had arrived, Waddington could finally let go and apologized to Laird.

"My sister is the wife of Prince Wangting. If you kill me, it will cause a war between humans and the Wangting!"

When Aardman saw the arrival of these griffins, his face changed slightly and he wanted to retreat!

With more than ten griffins coming, he had no chance of winning at this moment, so he immediately revealed his identity.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"So what if a war really breaks out!"

But Waddington didn't buy it and responded coldly, which immediately made Aardman's face freeze.

The Waddington in front of him is just a subordinate of this human girl, but he can speak words to promote war without hesitation. How much confidence and courage does this require?

Aardman finally began to regret why he chose this girl to be the weak target.

He now regretted even more why he did not seek help from the royal priest to calculate the good or bad luck of his trip before leaving.

The orcs have a royal family, and the eight major races are all subject to the royal family, but humans do not have a royal family. They are an alliance composed of 108 holy cities.

There are only five forces in the Human Alliance that can directly represent the 108 holy cities and make the decision to start a war.

The fact that Waddington had the confidence to say such words meant that the family behind the girl in front of him was obviously one of them.

"There must be some misunderstanding here. Neither of you has suffered any great loss. Waddington, please wait a moment. I will go and talk to Aardman. If he continues to be stubborn, I promise not to care about this matter anymore!"

Seeing that Waddington was really ready to take action, Laird quickly said something to Waddington.

Then, regardless of whether Waddington agreed or not, he quickly came to Aardman and told him about Adela's background and Waddington's strength in his ear.

After a moment, Aardman's face turned pale, and then he began to talk to Laird.

"Waddington, I already know why this happened. It's all a misunderstanding!"

Aardman gave in. He already knew Adela's background, the pearl of the City in the Sky. Even if his prince brother-in-law came, he would have to think twice, let alone him!

Moreover, although it was true that his sister married the prince, the orc prince had more than a dozen wives and concubines, which made it even more imaginable the gap between the two sides.

His identity could scare ordinary adventurers, but it could not scare the powerful forces of mankind.

"Laird, can't a misunderstanding offset their offense against Miss Adela?"

Waddington said coldly.

"Of course!"

Laird nodded in agreement. If Aardman didn't make some response, today's incident would definitely not end there.

Then Laird winked at Aardman.

And Aardman gritted his teeth and looked at his subordinates.

"Baz! Bring Ge Teng and that pig-headed man here!"

Soon, the pig-headed man who had just reported Adela and Gesan's brother Ge Teng were dragged over.

At this time, the two men may have known what they were about to face, and they were so scared that their legs were stiff and trembling.

"uncle……"

"It was because I listened to the instigation of this pig-headed man and Ge Teng that I attacked this young lady and her group. Now I will deal with them!"

Puff! Puff!

Aardman's hands were so fast that he raised his knife and slashed it down as he spoke. Before Ge Teng and the pig-headed man could even let out a wail, the two huge heads had already fallen to the ground.

"It's not enough! The young lady and her group have already lost several guards, and you only lost two of your subordinates. Do you think that's enough?"

Waddington asked coldly.

"Are these just my subordinates? One of them is my nephew!"

Aardman's mouth twitched and he roared in his heart.

"I can still make amends!"

Aardman replied through gritted teeth.

"1,000 gold coins! As compensation for those humans."

"5,000 gold coins! If you have one less, today's matter won't be completed!"

Walton's voice increased fivefold as he spoke, and the threat in his eyes became even stronger.

"I didn't bring so much money this time!"

When Aardman heard the price of 5,000 gold coins, he felt a sharp pain in his heart and opened his mouth to continue bargaining!

"Orc, our Sacred Business Company can provide loans, and only charges 1% interest every month!"

At this moment, Lolita, who was not far away, suddenly spoke with a sweet laugh.

Aardman Lolita's words immediately turned pale, but after thinking about his hundreds of subordinates and his own comfort, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Can!"

Next, Aardman wrote a note to Lolita and her group to borrow 5,000 gold coins.

Lolita just thought about it, and a wooden treasure chest appeared in front of everyone. When the treasure chest was opened, a golden light appeared inside.

Then Aardman carried the wooden treasure chest containing the gold coins to Waddington.

After doing all this, Aardman walked up to Laird without saying a word.

"Miss, I wonder if you are satisfied with this result!"

At this time, Waddington turned around, changed his expression, and asked Adela respectfully:

"Well! Uncle Waddington, I'm very satisfied!"

Adela remained silent throughout the entire meeting, because she knew that Uncle Waddington would handle such matters; he was her grandfather's most capable subordinate.

As Adela spoke, she also had a thought, and the wooden treasure chest in front of her was put into the storage space.

"Two super rich ladies!"

Gervis was envious of Adela and Lolita's clever moves. He was already drooling over the idea of ​​being able to collect items with just a thought.

However, he also knew that even Laci didn't have such a thing, so it would be impossible for him to get it.

Sorry! This chapter is 4000+, so it's a little late!

This is an extra chapter! I still have 9 chapters to go!
