Chapter 668: The peak of life?

"My pearl, you look so beautiful today!"

When Adela came to the platform, Edward opened his arms and hugged Adela, then praised her with loving words.

"Thank you, Grandfather!"

Adela and Duke Edward above show the affection between grandfather and granddaughter

However, Gervis, who was standing below, discovered a problem, that is, Gervis seemed to have never seen or heard of the information about Adela's parents, and even today's birthday party was hosted by his grandfather.

So Gervis turned his head slightly and asked Laci in a low voice.

"Laki, where are Adela's parents? Why have I never seen them?"

"Um?"

Ever since Adela and the orc princess appeared, Laci's eyes have never moved away. It is unclear whether he is looking at Adela or the orc princess, but he is very obsessed.

Hearing Gervis' question, Lachi was stunned for a moment and didn't react.

It took a while before he reacted.

"Harry, are you asking about Adela's parents?"

"Yes!"

Gervis gave Lach a strange look. He thought that this guy was more likely to be looking at the orc princess.

Laci knew that his performance just now had been seen through by Gervis, and he felt a little guilty. He coughed dryly and then answered in a low voice.

"Hey! Adela's parents disappeared in the Land of God's Fall ten years ago! I don't know the details, but don't mention it in front of Adela, otherwise he will definitely be sad!"

"Um!"

Gervis nodded. Only now did he know that Adela's parents had encountered such an accident.

From past knowledge, Gervis knew that Duke Edward had three children in total.

Adela's father is the heir to the Castle in the Sky and the eldest son of Duke Edward.

No wonder Edward is still the city lord at such an old age. Most families of this age have passed the title to their heirs, while the older generations have retreated behind the scenes.

For example, this is the case with Hulton of the Golden Shield Family. Hulton’s cultivation is naturally not as high as Edward’s, but Hulton’s father is one of the twelve strongest men of the human race, together with Edward.

Then Gervis and Laci stopped talking and continued to look up at the platform.

"Well! My pearl, today is your birthday, and it's time for your grandfather to give you the gift he has prepared."

Duke Edward said something to Adela, then waved to the servants outside the gate.

Then the servant quickly ran out of the banquet hall.

"Wow! It's actually the Snow Region White Tiger!"

"You can become a high-level magical beast in the future!"

Not long after the servant left the hall, several guards from the Sky City came into the hall pushing a two-meter-high mithril iron cage!

When the guests saw the snow-white beast in the iron cage, they all exclaimed in surprise, especially the young men and women, as such a mount was their dream.

The snow-white beast in the iron cage is none other than a white tiger. Although this snow-white tiger is only a mid-level magical beast, it also has something to do with its age, because this snow-white tiger is only in its juvenile stage.

It is only over two meters long and about one and a half meters tall, but once it reaches adulthood, this white tiger can grow into a high-level magical beast that is four or five meters long and more than two meters tall.

The most important thing is that there is such a legend in the Holy Continent that as long as the Snow White Tiger breaks through to a high level, it will be able to grow wings and become a Snow Flying Tiger.

"Adela, this is the magical beast that your grandfather prepared for you. Do you like it?"

"I like it, thanks Grandpa!"

If you want to tame a monster into a mount, it must be a juvenile monster.

Because once a Warcraft reaches adulthood and has animal nature, it is very difficult to sign a master-servant contract with it.

Young monsters are naturally guarded by their parents, so even though there are many monsters in the Holy Continent, it is still not easy to get a good mount.

Adela was naturally very happy about this and thanked her grandfather with a smile on her face.

"Well, let's sign the contract first!"

Seeing that Adela was satisfied, Edward also smiled, and then took Adela to the iron cage.

"Um!"

Signing a contract with Warcraft was very simple in this sacred continent. Edward took out a scroll from the storage space, and then asked Adela to drop a drop of blood on the scroll.

After doing all this, Duke Edward activated the scroll and threw it at the snowy white tiger in the iron cage.

roar!

As the contract scroll came into effect, a flash of light appeared and completely enveloped the Snow White Tiger.

The snowy white tiger cub first let out a terrified howl, and then became quiet.

“Thank you, Grandpa!”

As the snowy white tiger calmed down, it also indicated that the master-servant contract between Adela and the white tiger was completed.

Adela first thanked Edward, then walked up to the iron cage and opened the door.

"roar!"

When the white tiger saw Adela, it was as if it had seen its parents. It immediately came to her feet and rubbed Adela's snow-white skirt.

"Adela, it seems this little thing likes you very much, give it a name! Haha!"

"Just call me Xiaobai!"

Adela naturally liked her new mount from the Emerald City. After hearing Edward's words, she thought for a moment and said a name!

"Sure, he will be your mount from now on, you can call him whatever you like!

"Okay, Adela, now that Grandfather's gifts have been delivered, the rest of the time should be handed over to you! You should say a few words to the guests first!"

"Yes, Grandfather!"

Adela heard Edward's words, nodded slightly, patted her new mount's head, and then returned to the platform.

After arriving on the stage, Adela bowed slightly to everyone, and then spoke in a clear and gentle voice.

"Thank you all uncles and aunts for taking the time to come to my birthday party. I hope you can have a good time tonight!"

After saying that, Adela bowed again, and then stopped talking. Instead, she looked at the beastman princess who had beautiful eyes like water and a smile on her face.

"Duo Luo, how come this human girl is so beautiful? She's not inferior to our Princess Ali at all!"

"Although the human race is weak, many women are really good-looking. Not only are they gentle in temperament, but their fragrance is even more attractive!"

At this time, many orcs in the group were staring at Adela.

Especially when it came to Duo Luo, the half-orc who was selecting a group of human youths at the gate of Leng Feicui Manor, his eyes were filled with heat.

"I want to marry this human woman!"

Duo Luo said in a positive tone.

"Haha, Duoluo, don't you want to marry the princess?"

"Marry them all! Those weak humans are not worthy of this human girl! Besides, let the princess be the first wife and this human girl be the second wife. We beastmen are not as hypocritical as humans. We can only marry one on the surface!"

"Haha, Duoluo, you are awesome!"

Duola's words were so domineering that the beastmen around him looked envious.

Doro is the most valued offspring of Prince Dosalon, and everyone thinks it is a sure thing for him to marry the princess.

And if he could really marry this human woman again, he would be extremely lucky.

"Well, when those human youths give gifts to Miss Adela later, you should immediately go up and give your gifts to Ahri. In short, you must beat those youths!"

"Okay, Duoluo, we are ready!"

…

"Hello everyone, I am honored to have a birthday party like you humans in the City of Hope today!"

"Although this disturbs Miss Adela's birthday and may make many people angry with me, I really want to hold a birthday party in a human way!"

"I would like to apologize to all the guests here and ask you to forgive my selfish behavior."

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Rebecca, you can also call me Ali!"

After Adela finished her speech, it was naturally the turn of another protagonist of tonight's banquet.

It must be said that this beastman princess was indeed extremely charming and beautiful, and she lived up to the name of vixen that Gervis had given her.

Just a few words from the orc princess coupled with her charming appearance made all the young men present feel pity for her. They had long forgotten their hostility towards the orc princess before they came.

"Harry, tell me whether I should forgive her or not. After all, Ahri might really want to hold a human birthday party!"

Lachi suddenly asked Gervis in a low voice, his words full of pity for the orc princess.

"Well, you decide for yourself!"

What else could Gervis say? For someone like Lachi whose eyes were almost popped out of his head, he probably wouldn't listen if you told him that this vixen was probably just pretending to be pitiful.

There were many people present who reacted like Laci, and most of the human youths were whispering.

What he said was simply that this beastman princess didn't look like the beastmen at all, she was very beautiful, spoke sweetly, and was a little pitiful.

After Adela and the orc princess finished their speeches, the next step was to give gifts!

At this time, Laci also stretched his neck and looked forward. He was already holding the exquisite gift box in his hand.

"Ms. Adela, happy birthday! This is the birthday gift I prepared for you, a pair of magic earrings that can increase the recovery speed of magic power!"

"It turns out to be an earring that increases recovery speed. This will cost at least 1,500 gold coins!"

"Ms. Adela, happy birthday! This is the birthday gift I prepared for you, an ice silk robe that can reduce the damage of fire magic attacks!"

"Ice silk is the silk thread spit out by poisonous spiders that can only be found in the snowy mountains of the plateau. This magic robe should be worth more than 1,000 gold coins!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

As the gift-giving began, the young men from the human race came on stage one after another.

Of course, these gifts were not prepared by themselves. They were paid by their parents to deliver them. After all, Adela was a junior, so it was appropriate to let their heirs deliver them.

At the same time, he also had the idea of ​​letting his offspring show up in front of Adela to see if he could have a chance to marry the pearl of the sky city.

For a second son like Laci, he received an invitation alone and needed to prepare a gift out of his own pocket.

Although Laci had not taken any action at this time, he was staring at the gifts given by the young men in front of him, and whispered with Gervis about the approximate price.

"Princess Ali, happy birthday. This is the goblin agate I prepared as a gift for you. It can speed up your cultivation! It should be worth more than 3,000 gold coins here in the human race! Haha!"

"Princess Ahri, happy birthday. This is the gift I prepared for you: Flame Giant Lizard Leather Armor. It can at least withstand a full-strength attack from a high-ranking White Flag warrior! It's worth at least 2,500 gold coins to the human race!"

As the human youths began to present gifts, the beastmen did not dare to be outdone and walked to the front of the stage to present gifts.

After giving the gift, he had to specifically state its value and look selectively at the young men who had just given the gifts.

Seeing this, the young people present frowned slightly, after all, this gift was prepared by their parents.

More importantly, humans are governed by an alliance system, so giving gifts is just a matter of reciprocity.

The orcs, however, are a united royal court, and when these half-orcs give gifts to their princess, there is an intention of currying favor with her, so naturally they give gifts as precious as they can.

When the gifts from the Beastmen were presented, the young men from the Humans became embarrassed, and those who had been eager to move just now began to hesitate.

After all, it is very embarrassing to be provoked into a competition by orcs after delivering gifts.

After this scene occurred, Adela fell into an embarrassing situation.

The orc princess was able to receive the gift, but Adela just stood there as if this part of the birthday party had nothing to do with her.

Seeing this happen, Gervis looked at Lach and found that this guy was still very patient and probably wanted to wait for a while.

After all, his gift was worth more than 7,000 gold coins, so he probably wanted to wait until later to present it as the finale.

So, Gervis said to Lachi.

"Laki, I'm going upstairs to deliver the presents first!"

Gervis didn't want to wait any longer. Although his gift was only more than a thousand gold coins, which was the lowest among those present, it was enough to show his kindness. As for the orcs' provocation, Gervis didn't take it seriously at all.

"Okay, you go first, Harry!"

Just as Gervis was about to move forward, Lolita, the eldest daughter of the Sacred Trading Company, took out a gift from the storage space and walked forward.

Seeing this, Gervis slowed down slightly and followed behind him.

"Ms. Adela, happy birthday. This is the gift I prepared for you, the Azure Heart. It can be used to forge magical equipment!"

In front of Gervis, Lolita handed the gift box to Adela, and like everyone else, she opened the lid of the gift box and revealed the gift inside.

"Wow, it's the Azure Heart. As expected of the eldest daughter of the Sacred Trading Company, this gem is probably worth more than three thousand gold coins!"

The arrival of Lolita and Gervis eased Adela's predicament.

Moreover, the gift given by Lolita was also very valuable. Immediately, several young men on the human side pointed it out loudly, and it was obvious that they were speaking to the orcs.

"Thank you, Miss Lolita"

Adela bowed sincerely to Lolita, thanked her and took the gift!

After Lolita left, Gervis stepped forward and said to Adela.

"Happy birthday, Adela. I hope you like these lightweight spider silk gloves!"

Gervis opened the very ordinary gift box in his hand and presented a pair of white lace gloves inside to everyone.

"Thank you, Harry!"

Adela naturally would not think that the gift from Gervis was too cheap. She also smiled at Gervis and expressed her sincere gratitude.

Gervis didn't stay long. He saluted Adela and then returned to the crowd.

"Haha, this spider silk glove is probably only worth a few hundred gold coins. The gifts given by you human youths are not sincere. I feel so sorry for the beautiful Miss Adela! It's a pity that I only prepared one gift this time, otherwise I would definitely send a sincere gift to the beautiful Miss Adela!"

"Princess Ahri, happy birthday. This command horn is a gift I specially prepared for you. When you blow it, you can control the tamed backstab lizard to fight for you!"

"If we calculate by value, each Spikeback Monitor Lizard can be sold to the human race for 400 gold coins!"

As soon as Gervis handed over the gift, an orc immediately ran up and first laughed at Gervis and the other young men, then handed over his own gift and explained its value.

"How hateful! These orc bastards are!"

Faced with the orcs' ridicule, the human youths below naturally turned pale and blue in the face, but it was useless even if they gritted their teeth. The value of the gift was there, and they could only endure the ridicule.

And now that the banquet has already begun, it is naturally impossible to prepare new gifts.

…

"Harry, I'm going to help you get revenge now. I'm going to deliver gifts. I want to destroy the prestige of these orcs!"

When Gervis returned to his original position, Lach's face was full of eagerness. After comforting Gervis, he was ready to go on stage.

He had spent so much time preparing for Adela's birthday just to show off his prowess in front of others.

And he didn't expect that it was such a coincidence this time that the Orcs gave him a stepping stone. Laci felt that he had reached the peak of his life tonight!

"Well, then go ahead!"

Seeing Laci's look, Gervis wanted to laugh. He naturally didn't care about the orcs' provocation. He hoped that they would not cry after he delivered the three potions.

"But, will this also hit Lachi?"

Gervis thought to himself.

After the two of them finished talking, Laci no longer delayed and went straight to the platform.

"Adela, happy birthday! This is the gift I prepared for you: the Magic Blue Crystal Necklace! It can speed up your training! Well, this necklace is not that expensive, it only cost more than 7,000 gold coins to buy it!"

"Wow, it's the Magic Blue Crystal Necklace. I saw it at the Holy Business last time!"

"I've seen it too. It should be able to defeat 18 Spiked-Backed Monitor Lizards! Hey, that orc, you should have tamed a few more earlier! Haha!"

Laci directly told everyone how much he spent on the necklace, which would have been very vulgar at other banquets in the past.

But at this moment, no one thought that Laci was rude. On the contrary, Laci's behavior at this time made them feel relieved and suppressed the arrogance of the orc just now.

The orc who was so complacent before really looked ugly at this moment, and his face turned black.

"Thank you, Lucky!"

Adela bowed to Lachi and thanked him.

Although those orcs were targeting the young people present, she was always outdone by the orcs, which made her feel a little embarrassed. It would be best if Lachi could suppress the opponent now.

Of course, Adela didn't really care about these things. Her mind was not on the scene, but on when Gervis' gift would be delivered!

"You're welcome, Adela, and happy birthday again!"

Laci felt that he had really reached the peak of his life. He congratulated Adela again, then turned around and walked towards the crowd with his head held high.

In his opinion, his gift tonight should be the most expensive! It is firmly in first place!

"Ahri, happy birthday to you. This is the legendary Bound Frost! For you! I got it from killing a human knight!"

Just when Laci was still feeling smug, a voice suddenly came from behind him, which instantly froze the smug smile on his face.

The orc who was speaking at this time was Duoluo, and what Duoluo gave to the orc princess Ahri was actually a weapon of legendary quality.

Duo Luo handed the legendary weapon to Ahri, then turned around and asked the group of human youths.

"Excuse me, according to your human calculation method, how many gold coins should this legendary weapon be worth?"
