Divine Emperor of Death

Suddenly, Elder Havle Alstreim sensed people approaching from the side of the hall. He turned to look when he found four people approaching. He saw three women and one man. Out of the four people, he recognized two of them.

He amicably nodded his head at Evelynn and Natalya, who had both earned their name in the battle exchange that had occurred a month ago. They were definitely geniuses, and he possessed nothing but respect for their talent and status. They were Alchemist Davis's wives. He didn't possess the habit of lecherously looking at married women. Besides, one of them was a poisonous woman whom he didn't want to interact with.

However, when he glanced at the two people beside them whom he couldn't recognize, he frowned. They were the man with black hair and the woman with black hair. They both wore masks, but even without it, he was positive that he had never seen them before.

Naturally, they were none other than Claire and Logan, but Claire had dyed her hair black. She had originally did not want to, but she formulated a plan in her mind and wanted to act on it.

"They are?" He posed his doubt.

"Another two of my subordinates..." Princess Isabella giggled and spoke.

"Forgive them, because they are not a fan of revealing their faces, just like my protector."

"Everyone has their privacy and secrecy to maintain." Elder Havle Alstreim nodded as he watched them be seated on another couch. He didn't ask their names since the Conferred Queen did not reveal it when he asked. He knew that it would be rude.

Davis imperceptibly moved his hand, and a projection appeared in front of them. It wasn't just one, but numerous projection appeared around them in a scattered manner.

"This..." Elder Havle Alstreim became dumbfounded.

Cities, mountain ranges, towns appeared in his and everyone's view.

Looking at the projections, he found these places all familiar. Behind the mask, Claire's eyes shook at the familiar sight. She subconsciously placed her hand on Logan's thigh as if confirming that he was still there with her.

Logan held her hand and locked his finger with her. Nothing needed to be said, and just their touch alone was enough.

"This is called the Distant Probing Eyes Formation. It is built within the abode and helps us see the sceneries within ten thousand kilometers while traveling. If Elder Havle Alstreim wants to explain to us about the Alstreim Family's territory, then this is a chance." Princess Isabella explained.

"Of course!" Elder Havle Alstreim instantly stood up.

As the one who invited them, he naturally couldn't be rude to them and wanted to bring them around to sightsee like a good host, and looking at the projections, this just made it easier for him.

Davis, Princess Isabella, and the others naturally possessed curiosity for these unknown places, and since there was a 'guide' for them, they were naturally going to make use of him.

Elder Havle Alstreim started to hand out clear and artistic hand-drawn maps of the Alstreim Family's territory before he pointed at the projections. His mouth moved while he started to explain.

An hour passed just like that.

In short, the Alstreim Family, which took fifteen percent of the land and twenty percent of the ocean of this territory, appeared very prosperous. The land they possessed alone was four billion square kilometers, while the ocean they occupied stretched to five billion square kilometers.

To put it into comparison, the whole of Planet Earth, including the land and the ocean, only amounted to five hundred and ten million square kilometers. Not even the surface area of a planet of Earth's size could compare to the Alstreim Family territory's surface area.

The Alstreim Family Territory's surface area alone was thirty billion square kilometers, and the Alstreim Family occupied almost one-third of it. The remaining two-thirds of the Alstreim Family Territory's surface area was occupied by the other powers that existed, but the vast ocean remained unoccupied except for a few powers that occupied a few parts of the ocean.

In the Alstreim Family's territory, there were thousands of towns that hosted a plethora and overabundance of families. They all possessed the bloodline of the Alstreim Family, and among the millions of population, at least sixty percent belonged to these towns and lived for the rest of their lives unless they were ambitious and talented.

The Town Lords of these towns were generally Peak-Level Law Dominion Stage Cultivators, and they reported to the cities the nearest to them.

There were four cities in the Alstreim Family's territory. These four cities occupied at least a hundred million square kilometers each. Each of their City Lords possessed Mid-Level Law Sea Stage Cultivations. While they were City Lords, they were also considered Elders of the Alstreim Family, and they reported to the Grand Alstreim City.

The Grand Alstreim City alone occupied five hundred million square kilometers! Even the four cities combined would not be able to compare to the Grand Alstreim City. The population in this Grand Alstreim City were the wealthy branch families and the mighty main family. As a particular distinction, they all possessed lush blonde hair and beautiful purple eyes, a trait that they got from their Founder.

As for who the main family is? It is determined by who is the current Patriarch of the Alstreim Family. The Patriarch and his family would be considered the main family. As for the branch families, anyone who is at the Eighth Stage could start a branch family.

This also attracted external Eighth Stage Experts to join their family. Whether it is a man or a woman, if they married into the Alstreim Family, they would need to change their family name to Alstreim and would be eligible to start their own branch family in the Grand Alstreim City or the other four cities if they prefer.

Elder Havle Alstreim also explained about other special locations such as magical beast sanctuaries, unusual locations, danger zones, but at this time, they already arrived before the Grand Alstreim City.

"Your excellency, the Conferred Queen, we have arrived." Elder Havle Alstreim reminded.

Princess Isabella stood up from the throne and strode forward with gentle and elegant steps as if she was a delicate woman.

"Traveling in my abode to the Grand Alstreim City seems a bit rude... but what if I ride on a magical beast?"

"That's not a problem."

"Cultivators do have magical beast mounts, and even I had one, but it eventually died while we were doing missions. It died to protect my life." Elder Havle Alstreim shook his head with complex emotions.

"Very well." Princess Isabella nodded her head, "Nadia, come out."

A large figure suddenly materialized behind Elder Havle Alstreim's sight, causing him to shudder. It possessed the head of a wolf's, and its mane was dark in color. Its wings that extended above its front limbs were also completely black, similar to the black of a raven's feathers yet looked like an eagle's wings. Its wingspan was around thirty meters in length.

Its golden horn that was two meters tall, protruding out from its forehead, was also eye-catching, but its piercing golden eyes were intently looking at him in scrutiny, making him understand that he was perhaps a prey in front of this predator.

"This is... a Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf!?"

Elder Havle Alstreim exclaimed upon seeing its features!
