The Grand Elders all narrowed their eyes in scrutiny as they viewed Daniuis Alstreim in suspicion. This was the reason they all reacted strangely upon witnessing Daniuis Alstreim for the first time. They never thought that the person that they were secretly searching for would still be alive, and neither did they hope that they could find him alive.
"What is the meaning of this question?" Daniuis Alstreim’s heart skipped a beat, but he feigned ignorance as anger became visible on his face, "Am I being framed again!?"
Patriarch Eldric Alstreim shook his head.
"This is a serious matter that needs to be addressed."
"Even if you have colluded with them, it is understandable that you did that to survive. I only want to know where these people are hiding!"
"If we can find the way they used to enter the Tripartite Alliance while throwing sand in our eyes, we can successfully monopolize the treasures and the riches in ’that’ tempering zone, including the heritage for a period of time. That would give us an immense head start, and strengthen our Alstreim Family to a great degree, birthing new Ninth Stage Powerhouses, perhaps even giving birth to a future immortal existence!"
By the time Patriarch Eldric Alstreim finished his sentence, he had become passionate and heated. The barrier was shrouded in blurry waves, so people could not hear or see what they were actually speaking about.
Every Grand Elder nodded their heads, displaying similar passion, especially Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim. Growing to the peak was almost every power and organization’s dream. However, there was no greed in their eyes, but only a kind of hopefulness and curiosity.
The name Forsaken of the Forsaken Phoenix Realm alone said that it was hopeless to research and investigate. This inheritance site has been known for countless years, perhaps ever since the Territory has been divided and segregated. However, no power managed to enter and returned alive to tell the tale.
Even the Burning Phoenix Ridge displayed no interest in the Forsaken Phoenix Realm as they knew that it was just a waste of time to have their people challenge it. Besides, the Forsaken Phoenix Realm was far away from their Territory, making them unable to interfere much.
However, now that the aboriginals have said to have surfaced for the first time in the known history, they hoped that something could change. For example, the Forsaken in the Forsaken Phoenix Realm could finally be changed with this development!
The Grand Elders looked at Daniuis Alstreim, wanting to know the truth. Perhaps, if the Ancestor wasn’t present, they would’ve already jumped on him and made him cough out whatever he knew by using various methods to know the matter’s truth. After all, why did they need to bother about an exile? A person without a backing?
"I am aware of Tripartite Alliance’s strange actions in the Desolate Plains. So the aboriginals were the reason. No wonder, no wonder..." Daniuis Alstreim nodded his head as if he just understood.
Patriarch Eldric Alstreim creased his brows, "You really don’t know anything about them?"
"It is said that the Grand Elder of the Tripartite Alliance’s Alstreim Faction was targeting you with the Arc Song Mercenaries at that time. It is also said that he captured one of your children and baited you to appear so that he could finish you off."
"Patriarch seems to know more that I thought." Daniuis Alstreim’s lips turned a bit wide as he revealed a scrutinizing smile.
"Could it be that you were watching me suffering from that point?"
"Hmph! I investigated it myself after the death of that lowly, and corrupt Grand Elder!" Being wrongly accused, Patriarch Eldric Alstreim lost his cool for a moment.
As if he was free and owned time to monitor an exile!
He was immensely prideful and never resorted to schemes, not even once. He actually hated such devious ways to battle. Hence, no matter the problem, he faced it head-on and didn’t hide behind any schemes. However, that certainly didn’t mean that he didn’t know how to devise one.
He only learned about Daniuis Alstreim’s matter after everything had happened, and suppressed it because of the underlying value and the consequences behind it. Further investigation revealed that the Grand Elders of the Tripartite Alliance initially hid the matter of two female aboriginals who seemed to arrive three years before the death of the Alstreim Family Faction’s Grand Elder!
It seemed that they even hired a passing Mystic Diviner to divine the two female aboriginals’ whereabouts but only found the general direction to which they escaped. However, by the time the three powers found out about the hidden matter, it was too late to search for those aboriginals who had escaped.
They had to be punished for their greed.
If the matter of the aboriginals leaked, the six remaining hegemons of Nine Eastern Territories might return again, making the Tripartite Alliance Territory into a bloody battlefield. If the Burning Phoenix Ridge captures wind of it, then it would become even more complex and devastating!
Such a result, Patriarch Eldric Alstreim or no one in this place wanted to see!
Even the other two powers, the Towering Cloud Hall and the Falling Snow Sect suppressed the news, the recent happenings in the Tripartite Alliance and low-key denied the presence of the aboriginals if they were asked. They all knew such a matter shouldn’t be easily revealed.
"In any case, I don’t know what I don’t know, but I am elated to have returned to the Alstreim Family," Daniuis Alstreim spoke.
In no way would he betray his family, or his little brother’s descendants. Perhaps, if the sound barrier didn’t exist, his little brother would’ve jumped on him and asked about the Forsaken Phoenix Realm or the aboriginals.
He wanted and itched to say to Edgar Alstreim that his daughter Claire is still alive. He wanted to say that not only is she still alive but had also married a young master-level talent and gave birth to a monster who right now sat equally with Ancestor Dian Alstreim through unknown yet mysterious means.
He didn’t even know where to start telling this absurd tale, and even knew that he wouldn’t be initially believed.
Patriarch Eldric Alstreim didn’t know how to pursue the conversation anymore. He didn’t know if Daniuis Alstreim was telling the truth or not.
Only less than half a minute had passed, but time was short, and he had to make it quick since he couldn’t offend the Conferred Queen’s side. This wasn’t an internal meeting, and since the conversation wasn’t going anywhere with Daniuis Alstreim stating that he doesn’t know, he promptly removed the sound barrier as he felt that he couldn’t make a mistake in this place such as testing the Protector’s patience.
"I thank Conferred Queen and the Protector for their patience. Please excuse my rudeness, and continue to enjoy the banquet."
Princess Isabella nodded her head with a faint smile on her face as she sipped a cup of wine. She looked refined and calm as if she knew not to interfere in the internal matter of others. The Grand Elders all sighed in relief upon seeing her natural and understanding mannerisms!
