Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 973 Shocking Declaration

Chapter 973 Shocking Declaration

The purple-robed woman knew about the recent achievements of the mysterious Isabella, whose achievements seemed to be making rounds in almost every power in the Nine Eastern Territories. The story of how she had a Ninth Stage Protector was famous enough, but the story of how she drove back the Aqua Flood Dragon while still being a junior became a legend that made numerous young generational experts feel inferior!

However, they also felt that the ceiling that they were facing had become even more widespread. The narrow scenery they had always seen in their comfortable space seemed to become more spacious than ever.

However, at the same time, the veracity of these pieces of news couldn’t be confirmed unless they visited the Alstreim Family Territory, making many people doubt if this was a ploy of the Alstreim Family to attract experts into their family. Nevertheless, the name, Conferred Queen Isabella seemed to have already spread on another note, the annihilation of the Million Emerald Vines Calamity!

She personally knew that both of the information was true from one of her sources, who is none other than her friend, Nora Alstreim.

At this time, another person entered the scene, garnering more attention than the fairies who were already present. Many people seemed to experience goosebumps within them, but not in a good way, to be exact. They retracted their hostile gazes and cast a look at the platform, not daring to attract that person’s attention.

The person who arrived was none other than Weiss Alstreim!

The people were afraid that he would take their rudeness to heart, making life difficult for them. There were many past examples who had their lives ruined just because they said a single bad thing about Weiss Alstreim, so they were rather afraid that he might do something. However, when the all cast the same hostile gaze at Nora Alstreim, it seemed that they didn’t fear that she would take it too far.

Weiss Alstreim’s eyes lit up as he looked at the platform. He could see that the Dragon Queen sat there, looking at him with interest, but he wasn’t aware that it was his delusion that made him think like that when in reality, she was frowning in distaste.

He straightened his back with a taut posture, his chin slightly up, and was about to walk forwards when the Dragon Queen suddenly spoke up.

"Everyone..." Princess Isabella’s low voice caught everyone’s attention.

She didn’t even have to raise her voice to get the crowd to listen to her; instead, they stood in attention as if there was going to be a command personally given to them. Even the women were no different as they no longer compared themselves with the mighty Dragon Queen as they now looked up to her instead of envying her.

Nora Alstreim, who initially seemed to be against her in a competitive manner, also paid attention even though she didn’t react in an overexaggerated manner like everyone else. She still possessed her pride but thinking back, she now felt like a loser for acting like that in the Grand Welcoming Hall. Now that she recalled some bits of it, she knew that she was reluctant to see some other woman shining in her turf.

Once the hall became silent in a second, Princess Isabella moved her lips as she smiled.

"First of all, I’d like to congratulate you all on being an Alchemist. If you ask me why then I must say that it is because I am inadequate at Alchemy. When I tried to practice alchemy as a child, I ended up exploding the low-grade cauldron at the first try. I could encourage myself to continue, but if it was the same with the tenth try, I knew that my talent in alchemy is not up to par and is supposed to be average at best if I kept it up."

"That why I look up to alchemists since I am incapable of concocting pills with my current prowess and knowledge."

Princess Isabella paused as she looked at the crowd’s heartened expression. Her smile slowly turned into a playful one before she continued.

"That’s why I also possessed the thought that it would be better if the man who manages to woo me in the future is also an alchemist."

*Woah!!!~*

Clamor instantly erupted within the hall, with some people losing their minds as they possessed a stupid smile on their faces.

"The Dragon Queen has such an embarrassing past? It makes me want to laugh, but it-it’s adorable in its own way!"

"You high-strung alchemist! That’s not important! Look, the Dragon Queen indirectly stated that she might pick a potential candidate to marry from one of us!"

"Idiot! The Dragon Queen only stated that as a possibility. It doesn’t mean age consider all of us to be potential candidates!"

"Besides, be more aware of your dogshit status. An immortal fairy will never ever consider us a potential candidate. We are greatly lacking, and if there are potential candidates, it must be from the Thousand Pill Pala- No! Such a small Territory cannot possess the rightful candidate for the Dragon Queen. If there’s a rightful candidate, then it must be from the Pill Emperors of the mid-sized Territory, the Glorious Pill Palace!"

"Furthermore, can’t you see that?" That man gestured towards the Dragon Queen’s side with displeasure etched all over his face.

The other man followed his gaze and his eyes landed on a certain subordinate who seemed to possess top-tier battle prowess and rumored to be highly skilled in alchemy.

"Alchemist Davis... No wonder he has the complete favor of the Dragon Queen... Even his actions were easily ignored as there’s no way the Dragon Queen didn’t notice his improper movement!" That man gritted his teeth in jealousy and anger.

It wasn’t just them, but many people discussed her statement.

Meanwhile, Davis blinked in doubt.

Was Princess Isabella acting while trying to hoodwink everyone again, or does she truly look up to alchemists because she had such an unrewarding experience? He didn’t know as they never had that conversation before, but it was certain to him that she was mentioning him at the end.

Princess Isabella beamed as she looked at everyone become excited. She knew that the men over here became abnormally hyped up, so she resumed her short pause.

"As Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim, a Peak-Level King Grade Alchemist spoke before; I gave my word to him that I will award the younger generational alchemy expert who wins this Alchemy Exchange a ten-milliliter vial of the Million Emerald Vines Calamity’s nectar."

"However..." Princess Isabella cast a look around in inspection before she made a shocking declaration, "I would like to retract that statement..."

"..."

Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim’s elated expression deflated like a balloon that was pierced with a needle. The same could be said about the others!

The hall instantly became silent, and all the excitement died down. It was as if a person had self-destructed in this place, causing people to have a horrified expression on their faces. Nevertheless, many people noticed that she hadn’t completely finished her statement with her rosy lips still slightly agape.

They held their breaths, waiting for her continuation.
