Receiving Avril
The banquet was very lively. Almost all the Lionhearts living in Black Lion City were present, and this was the first time Xia Fei had seen so many tall and mighty fellows gathered together.
Xia Fei discovered that the bloodline of the Lionhearts determined their height and weight. Old Demonlord Oro's great-great-grandson, Heathfield, was a member of the royal family, and he was also the tallest and strongest of them all.
Of course, he was still far from Oro's level. This Lionheart King was over eight meters tall and weighed more than a ton! His weight was more than a ton. Compared to him, his descendants were just dwarfs.
Heinrich still did not like to speak, but there were some changes in his eyes. He was still weak, but there was now a thirst for power and some determination.
The happiest was Heinrich's father, Heathfield. He drank a lot that night and spoke a lot.
His son was weak and had long been the laughing stock of the family. Now that Heinrich was seeking to improve himself, he was much happier. Though it was hard to change his personality in a short time, he was at least developing in a good direction, and given time, he was sure to become someone great.
Late at night, the banquet ended. Xia Fei remained in the Planet Lord's residence while the others returned home.
Everyone had received a gift from Xia Fei, and since Xia Fei was a rather talkative person, he had managed to build up some connections in the Demon Race and the Lionheart royalty.
Lionheart Emperor Oro, on the other hand, was rather emotional. Things had changed, and he could no longer recognize the descendants of his own clan. All these years of being trapped in the Law of Ternary Spectrum had created a severe generation gap between him, his clan, and the Law Realm, making him seem rather out of place.
However, being able to return to the Demon Race and meet some of the younger generations of his race had greatly improved Oro's mood. It would not be long before Xia Fei helped him reincarnate, and who knew how many years of hard training he would have to go through before he could return to his peak and wipe away his shame. He was still a long way from returning to his clan and standing proudly in the Law Realm.
After sending off the guests, Heathfield brought Xia Fei to his study alone, seemingly wanting to talk to him about something. Xia Fei was also planning to get Heathfield to help him find what he needed, so he very readily followed him.
The study was not large, but it was decorated lavishly. After all, he was Lionheart Emperor Oro's direct grandson, so wealth was never a problem for him. Even if he was sent to Black Lion City for training, he would not suffer.
The maidservant respectfully left after serving the hangover tea. Xia Fei and Heathfield sat side by side. The hangover tea was sour and had a slight taste of dried hawthorn. Xia Fei liked it and drank three cups in a row.
"There's something I don't understand, and I need to ask you personally," Heathfield said in a deep voice after the pleasantries were over.
Xia Fei put down his teacup. "Please speak, Planet Lord."
"Today, you saved Heinrich and even told him a proverb," Heathfield asked as he stared at Xia Fei.
"It's true."
"You used the royal language, the most ancient and noble one. No one in the entire Black Lion Planet can understand it except for me and my son. Even the people at the banquet couldn't understand it. After all, they are not the direct descendants of the royal family. You look young, how can you speak this language?"
Xia Fei felt a headache coming on. It turned out that the words Lionheart Emperor Oro had taught him had a great origin. It was actually the most noble and sacred language of the Lionheart Race. As a human, how was he supposed to explain it?
Smiling, Xia Fei made up a story. "I won't hide it from you, Planet Lord. I once met an expert of the Lionheart Royalty. The two of us have a good relationship, so he taught me a few words."
Heathfield shook his head. "That can't be. The royal language is the most noble and secretive of the Lionheart Race. Even if he's a member of the royal family, there's no reason for him to teach you, assuming that the two of you just happened to meet."
Xia Fei did not know how to explain, so he glanced at the ring, meaning to tell Oro, "You were the one who taught me those words. Now that he doesn't believe me, you see how you explain it."
Lionheart Emperor Oro replied, "That's nothing. Just follow my instructions."
With that, Oro taught Xia Fei some words.
Xia Fei was skeptical, so he used the secret language of the Lionheart Royalty to say, "I originally lived in the Lion King's Golden Tower. The tower is 384 meters tall and 1.1 meters wide. I have no name, no surname, no father, and no son. I spent my entire life serving the king who lived on the 383rd floor. The king disappeared without a trace, and the servant was never able to return, drifting outside …"
Heathfield had a look of extreme shock on his face, his two legs trembling nonstop as if he had suffered some kind of shock.
After Xia Fei was done, he asked, "This is what that elder of the royal family told me. As for what he meant, he didn't say at the time. Do you know what he meant by that?"
Heathfield was shocked, and after some time, he said, "N-nothing …"
"This is all the secret language of the Lionheart Clan. The king who lived on the 383rd floor was naturally me, because I'm the 383rd patriarch of the Lionheart Royalty. The tower is 384 meters tall and 1.1 meters wide. I have no name, no surname, no father, and no son. These words refer to my personal guards. They are loyal to me, and they are forbidden from marrying or having children for the rest of their lives. That's why they're called nameless, fatherless, and childless.
"He now understands that you met one of my guards and became friends, which is why he taught you these words. From now on, he won't bother you with his identity anymore," Lionheart Emperor Oro explained.
Xia Fei did not really understand. Did this mean that Oro's guards were also immortal experts?! The old devil was doing quite well in the Demon Race!
Even so, he had been heavily injured by someone and imprisoned in the Law of Ternary Spectrum's restriction. His opponent was probably an incredibly powerful character!
"Ask him about the current situation of his clan," Oro said with concern.
It had been too long since there had been any news from his clan, and it would be a lie if Oro said that he did not care. In truth, he cared more than anyone else, and this was not surprising. As the patriarch of a clan, how could he not care about his descendants?
"Right, that royal expert told me that if I ever get the chance to meet someone from the royal family, I should ask them about their situation. I don't know why he can't return, so I can only keep this in mind," Xia Fei said.
Heathfield hurriedly explained the current situation of the Lionhearts in great detail. Xia Fei was actually not very interested in this, but Lionheart Emperor Oro was very interested. Xia Fei had become the middleman, helping Oro pass on a message to his grandson, who had been separated from him by who knew how many generations.
Before he knew it, the sky had brightened.
…
In the starry skies of Eternal Night, a massive warship broke out of its invisible state. Its massive body was no smaller than an Alliance carrier, but this warship's design was more exquisite, the materials used were more expensive, and its firepower was more powerful!
Soon after, countless warships appeared one after another. Carriers, dreadnoughts, battleships, cruisers, frigates — there were more than ten thousand of them!
Such an illustrious fleet seemed to be carrying out some sort of special mission, quietly appearing somewhere in space outside the Pan-human Alliance.
There was no doubt that this fleet was very powerful. If such a well-equipped and well-coordinated fleet were to be used to attack the Alliance, the Alliance would definitely suffer a heavy blow!
* Whoosh ~ *
Quietly, a small but nimble warship appeared in front of the fleet, its body moving swiftly. The flagship's landing bay slowly opened, allowing this small warship to enter.
Soon, this massive fleet of more than ten thousand warships of various sizes began its return journey, disappearing from space without a trace.
Could it be that such a powerful super fleet had appeared just to pick up a small warship?! Was it necessary to send a military force that could destroy a star region just to pick up a single warship?
Was it necessary to!
Of course it was necessary!
This was because there was one person on this ship, the most important person to Xia Fei: Avril.
Let alone sending out a super fleet, even before the Titan-class warship was completed, Xia Fei would not have hesitated to send out a Titan!
Avril had already changed into comfortable and refreshing sportswear, her golden hair tied into a simple ponytail as she entered the flagship in astonishment.
The countless robotic soldiers on both sides of the road made Avril feel uneasy. They stood tall and straight, their heads held high, their chests puffed out, and their eyes focused. The welcoming of Avril was even grander than welcoming their king.
Avril had received meticulous care from the robots along the way. It was only at this moment that she truly understood that Xia Fei was much stronger than she had imagined!
Just by looking at this super fleet escorting her, not even the President of the Alliance would have such high standards and strict security measures.
In the distance, the fourth and third leaders, Warstar and Dimsky, came to welcome her.
Though Xana was dead, Lil Pea had been promoted to the King of Robots, and the Sentinel Goddess Sophie had been relegated to second place. Thus, the two of them were still third and fourth.
"Miss Avril, I am Dimsky, and this is General Warstar. We have come to welcome you on Xia Fei's orders."
Dimsky had already discarded his cockroach body, switching it for the alloy body of an old scholar. This was one of the advantages of robots; as long as their thinking systems existed, their bodies could be switched at any time.
"Greetings to the two of you." Avril very generously greeted them and walked to the main cabin.
"I'm just one person. Isn't this a little too grand?" Avril somewhat embarrassedly asked.
She was a kind girl. She had never treated the robots around her as machines, instead treating them as real humans, constantly greeting the robotic soldiers around her.
These sentries politely nodded at Avril, already having a good impression of her. Dimsky and Warstar naturally saw this and were very grateful. Xia Fei had never seen a robot as a machine, but he did not expect Avril to be the same.
"Miss Avril, you don't know this, but Xia Fei gave us a death order back then. If I couldn't guarantee your safety, he would skin this old man alive. How could we not take this seriously?" Dimsky joked with Avril.
He was different from the usually stern Warstar. He was an intelligent member of the mech race and very good at joking.
"Xia Fei always likes to scare people. Don't mind him," Avril said.
Thinking back to that shocking fleet, Avril could not help but feel very excited. "Are you all Xia Fei's friends?"
Dimsky replied, "Xia Fei's Pod has the highest authority among the robots, and Pod is loyal to Xia Fei. More accurately speaking, we should be considered his subordinates."
Avril somewhat mischievously stuck out her tongue. She knew that Xia Fei was powerful and had great influence, but she had not expected him to be this powerful! He had even secretly hidden this trump card, the robot army.
Every warrior had their own trump card. Xia Fei had always kept this saying in mind. If not for the urgency of the situation, Avril would not have known about Xia Fei's relationship with the robot army.
"Sigh. I didn't think that Xia Fei would actually have to use this emergency plan. I wonder what happened to him over there for us to have to deal with it as quickly as possible." Warstar sighed. "That's right.
Avril's sudden departure in the middle of the night and the return of the robot army had all been arranged by Xia Fei in order to prevent any accidents from happening. However, due to the distance between them, no one knew the exact reason.
Avril was also somewhat worried. Dimsky smiled and said, "Xia Fei's smart. He'll be fine. It's just that Miss Avril has suffered a lot."
"It's nothing. As Xia Fei's woman, I've long since come to this realization," Avril calmly said.
Warstar and Dimsky were startled. These words were so infectious that even the robots could not help but be moved.
