1026 Chapter 573: Grand Duke of Frostwolf in Solan City, This Pervert Even Has Authority?!

The Lord's Mansion in Solan City was naturally incomparable to the Lord's Mansion in Twilight City.

Richard felt the charm of a high noble the moment he stepped into the manor with hundreds of savings.

They were the statues everybody could see. Or the colorful murals on the outer walls of the building, whether it was the flowers blooming in the corner of the wall.

It was refreshing.

Every arrangement was perfect.

One usually would not look at how valuable the antiques displayed by the other party. Or how gorgeous the other party's clothes were to observe a noble's background. One only needed to look at the various details to get a general idea.

The spacious front yard did not have many precious things, but it gave off a noble and elegant feeling.

Grand Duke of Frostwolf in Solan City was not as aloof and calm as the ascetics Richard had imagined. Instead, he was talkative and continued to discuss the front yard decorations.

One dug them from the peak of the snowy mountain, and one picked them up from the depths of the sea. Each had a remarkable origin.

Richard answered softly.

He saw Christy from the corner of his eye. She followed the two with her curved eyes. He found it funny.

He finally knew where this little girl's mouth came from.

The Grand Duke of Frostwolf in Solan City was as talkative as Christy.

It didn't fit the character of a legendary ascetic.

They toured around the spacious front yard. That was enough to rebuild a manor for a long time. The Grand Duke's talkative nature gradually subsided, and he led them to an ancient living room.

Richard and the Grand Duke sat before the pure white round table.

The maid served tea. The Grand Duke sized up Dark Valkyrie while she silently protected Richard.

"Lord Richard, this subordinate of yours isn't ordinary.

"It wouldn't be long before you gain a legend."

Richard's eyes lit up.

Dark Valkyrie was in the process of transformation when he met her.

It had been nearly two months.

Level 23 Loreinna slowly could not defend against Dark Valkyrie's blade. Richard couldn't determine her exact level.

"Fay obtained a special item in Ell. That reinforced her body following the fusion."

Grand Duke of Frostworlf in Solan City nodded thoughtfully.

"An alternate plane…"

Emotion filled his tone.

"The gods of the old days have returned, the alternate planes have connected to the Mortal Plane, and the sects have changed… I can't see the future anymore."

"Lord Richard, what do you think of the current situation?"

Was he going to get to the main topic?

Richard's eyes narrowed as he spoke slowly.

"Chaos is the eve of order.

"A new world is coming."

The Grand Duke of Frostwolf in Solan City's blue eyes focused.

He stared at him and said word by word.

"Lord Richard, you do know something."

He continued and did not wait for Richard to speak.

"Do you have any plans for the future development of Ell?"

The air suddenly froze, although his tone was still calm.

Christy also stopped smiling and looked at the two seriously.

Richard slowly picked up his hot teacup and sipped.

He waited for the teacup to settle before he spoke.

"All Dimension. It can only be the Ell Plane Twilight City."

"But Mountain Range City welcomes everyone."

Then, he looked at Christy.

"I've already reserved half a street in Mountain Range City for Her Highness Christy. The Solan merchant group can move in at any time…"

The Grand Duke of Frostwolf in Solan City narrowed his eyes and tapped his right hand on the table.

"I thank you on behalf of Christy."

"Are there forces aside from the Grace mainland Overlord that could enter Ell Plane other than Solan City?"

Richard's tone was still light.

"Your Excellency, I've mentioned that the Mountain Range City welcomes everyone."

"Whether it's Grace Mainland Overlord or anyone else."

The Grand Duke of Frostwolf in Solan City had a complicated look in his eyes when he said this.

"When I was young, I was far less courageous than you."

He let out a long sigh. His tone became serious.

"Have you made your decision?

"The pressure you have to face isn't just a little bit if you want to become the [Trading Market] of the world.

"Several ambitious nobles, chambers of commerce, and sects will become your potential enemies.

"They will jump out and bite you like a beast in the shadows once you reveal your weakness.

"The Holy Church Empire is just an appetizer.

"Are you ready?"

Richard looked straight into the man's eyes. His gaze unwavered.

"Your Highness should know the path I would take when one has established the Ell Players Association.

"Grace Mainland Overlord isn't weak.

"They… It's the future."

The Grand Duke of Frostwolf in Solan City remained silent.

Richard continued.

"But the shops belonging to Her Highness Christy will remain unchanged. I promise you that no matter what happens to Ell.

"Twilight City will always be a friend of Solan City.

"A new world is about to arrive, and greater chaos is about to occur. Both need greater power and friends, whether Twilight or Solan City.

"Grand Duke. No one can be sure of the future. All we can do is seize every opportunity. And become stronger!

"No one can touch Ell."

The Grand Duke looked at the unshakable determination. And a hint of admiration appeared on his solemn face.

"I respect you, although I have a different opinion.

"Your Excellency, the God Slayer."

Strength was the only pass.

Only a battle record that could make a legend open the carriage door could make him submit.

The death of the famous member of the seven sins of the evil god, the Greed Lord, shocked everyone.

The Grand Duke was no exception.

Richard smiled.

"I hope that in the future, Twilight and Solan City can help each other and tide over difficulties."

The Grand Duke of Frostwolf in Solan City laughed and nodded.

"Alright, let's help each other and tide over the difficulties!"

The God Slayer, the ruler of Ell, the leader of the Ell Players Association, and the ruler of Twilight City had the right to speak to a legend like him.

The extraordinary that stood behind him would soon break through to legendary. He has the right to talk to him peacefully whether one disregarded these honors and titles.

The Grand Duke thought of something and spoke softly after an agreement on the general direction.

"Lord Richard, did you destroy an abyssal gate at the edge of the desert of death?"

"I can sense a strong aura of corruption and even the smell of authority."

"The Decay King! If I'm not mistaken, it should be the master of the 333rd level of the bottomless abyss."

"Such a terrifying evil god must have a vast plan. Luckily, you found it in time and dealt with it."

"I want to thank you, Lord…"

Richard whispered.

"There's no need. I've also obtained quite a lot of benefits inside."

The Grand Duke asked curiously.

"Even the king of decay used his authority. How did you manage to clean up the mess?"

That was also what he yearned for the most! Authority!

That was the fundamental power of the gods. These were the rules of the world.

A legend like him would even dream of touching the authority.

That was the only way for him to advance to a higher level.

Richard said lightly.

"I got that wisp of power. That space slit naturally collapsed."

"The king of decay doesn't have the power to tear apart the laws of the Mortal Plane."

The Grand Duke's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Shock and disbelief engulfed his face.

"You, you mean… The authority of the king of decay, you obtained it?!"

It was like a firecracker had blown up the peak of Mount Jumurama during the New Year.

"How was this possible?"

How could one just snatch the authority of a god away?!

Moreover, the king of decay was still alive and well!!

Richard chuckled.

"It's just a wisp. The true authority is still in the hands of the king of decay."

The Grand Duke heaved a sigh of relief. It was just a wisp. No wonder! What? A wisp of it was also authority!!

What kind of fantasy was it to snatch the authority of a god from the hands of another?!

Countless questions arose in his heart. Words appeared in his mind.

However, as he was about to say it, he suddenly thought of the other party's battle achievements. God Slayer.

He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

The other party had even killed a god, so to snatch a wisp of authority didn't seem that overboard.

A bitter smile appeared on his face.

"This guy! What a pervert!"

How long had the Grace Mainland Overlord been in the Mortal Plane? In just over a year, he had already slaughtered a god!

Wouldn't he be going to heaven if he gave him a period to grow?

Then, he remembered that he had already reached an agreement with the other party, and his daughter was also very close to the other party.

He felt a little happy in his heart.

Fortunately, such a pervert was on the same side as him.

There was a hint of heat in his eyes.

"Lord Richard, I have a presumptuous request. Let me observe that wisp of authority!"

"Don't worry, I swear on my soul that I won't have any intentions of spying on you..."

The temptation of taking another step forward was almost irresistible for a legend about to reach extreme evil in the Mortal Plane.

Now, an extremely precious and even impossible opportunity was right before him. How could he miss it?

Richard smiled.

"Of course. The Grand Duke is Her Highness Christy's father. This request isn't a problem for Her Highness even without an agreement."

"However, my subordinate currently devours the body of the Greed Lord. He hasn't woke up yet. I can only let the Grand Duke observe him after the transformation."

Christy's lips curled up as she looked at her father proudly.

Her eyes blinked as if she was saying, 'See, I have good taste!'

The Grand Duke of Frostwolf in Solan City took a deep breath, his eyes full of amazement.

The body of a god.

He had experienced many storms in his life as a legend. It would not cause him much psychological fluctuation, even if one placed a divine artifact before him. 

But he felt he didn't have anything to offer after a discussion with Richard for a while, 

One moment, the other was an authority, and the next moment, it was a god's body. Who the hell was he going to reason with?
