Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 771: Select

"That woman seems to be looking at you!" Catherine frowned and whispered.

Ellen smiled and said, "You're too sensitive to see what I'm doing. I'm just looking around."

"Something's wrong." Lucy shook her head and said, "Teacher Shargren is indeed staring at you. What is she thinking?"

Was she also interested in Alan? However, this was the first time they had met. If that was the case, then this was truly a shameless woman! Catherine looked at Ellen and then looked at Sharon.

Lucy winked at Sharon and thought to herself, "What are you doing?" Why are your eyes so bright? You should be out of focus as usual, Teacher Shargren!

I always feel that the atmosphere is not right. Alan thought with a bitter smile. The two girls on his left and right had sharp eyes and emitted an inexplicable hostility, just like two cats that were stepping on their tails and could pounce at any time.

Fortunately, a mist appeared in Sharon's eyes again. It was like a cloud blocking the sunlight, and her blue eyes became hazy again.

Adahua Planet's envoys kept pouring out of the passageway. Apart from Metalon and the others visiting the Blood Gate Stronghold, there were also various representatives. They hoped to discuss military and commercial cooperation with the Federation in this war. So this time, there were quite a few representative envoys, dozens of men and women, causing Alan to be dazzled.

Adahua Planet was indeed a planet rich in handsome men and beautiful women. Those envoys were elegant men, while the women were handsome. However, in terms of beauty, none of them were comparable to Shakelin. She stood amidst the fragrances, her dense figure like a red rose in a patch of lilacs, so that one could see her at a glance.

At this moment, Lucy, who was standing beside him, suddenly clenched her fists. Alan noticed that she was a little nervous and couldn't help but glance at her. Lucy replied with a forced smile. At this moment, another Adahua Planet man walked out of the starship passageway. He was a tall man. There was a solemn face beneath her dazzling golden hair and a pair of rimless glasses on her tall nose hill. Beneath her tightly pursed lips was a well-groomed beard, trimmed into a "W" shape, with both sides running down her chin to her ears. Although he was young, he seemed to have matured strangely.

He was wearing a white robe with a distinctive military style. There was a golden belt hanging on both shoulders, and a row of golden buttons connected by small golden chains. Inside was a black background, and a white scarf was spat out from the collar. The three pure colors of black, white, and gold gave him a dignified and dignified feeling. He held a thick book in his hand and spat out the tail of the bookmark from the middle of the page. As he walked out of the passageway, his gaze swept. A moment later, she found Lucy and stopped.

He nodded to Lucy from afar. There was also a trace of a smile on his serious face.

A few more people came out of the passageway, and all the envoys that Adahua Planet had visited were present. Russen brought the officials of the stronghold to formally welcome them. The flow of people from the two sides gathered together, and what they said was nothing more than official words. Most of them were polite, but when it came to cooperation, it was a different scene at the negotiation table. It was just that Alan had no chance of seeing the negotiation scene that was comparable to a battlefield. He was also glad that this was the case. After all, that type of war was not his specialty.

After a few polite conversations with Russen, Metallon headed straight for Allen. Catherine reached out and secretly pinched Ellen. She didn't know what she was trying to do, but she turned around and left. As a Commonwealth Major General, she had an obligation to accompany those distinguished guests, even if she was unwilling. Only Alan and Lucy were left. Alan saw that the tall and serious man was among the people who had come with Metallon.

"I'm glad to see you're still alive, Your Highness." Metallon opened his hands and greeted Lucy.

Lucy left Alan and ran over, hugging the Marquis who had almost watched her grow up. "Me too, teacher. How are you?"

"Marquis Metallon just killed two Dark Titans before he came. Do you think his health will be bad?" Shargren smiled. Her voice was very magnetic and full of rhythm. It sounded pleasant to hear.

Lucy let go of Metallon and bowed to Sharon. Xia Gulin pulled on her skirt and saluted the Empress. Then Lucy hugged Sharon and said, "Teacher, you're here too. I'm glad you're here."

"Really? But from what I saw earlier, you didn't seem to be too happy." Sharon smiled.

"No, Teacher, you must be mistaken."

"My eyes never look at anything wrong," Sharon said with a smile that curved her eyebrows.

"Got it. Got it. Are you Twilight Shargren?" Lucy said with a kiss on her face.

Shaglin patted her head with a drowsy look. Although she was only a few years older than Lucy, to Lucy, who had lost her birth mother early, Sharlyn played the roles of sister and mother. In Sharon, she found dependence and love, and after those two identities, she became an art teacher.

The next few were members of the royal family, and Lucy's attitude towards them was much colder. Alan could feel Lucy's coldness and even disgust towards the royal family in his eyes. In the end, the tall man walked forward, held Lucy's hand and was about to kiss her. Lucy pulled her hand back like a frightened bird and took two steps back, "Link, this isn't the Royal Court. You can forget about the etiquette."

The man she called Link was obviously stunned, and then he nodded and said, "As you say, Your Highness."

He stood up straight, 1.9 meters tall, and amongst ordinary slender Adahua Planet people, he had a rare sturdy body. When he got close, he naturally gave people an invisible sense of oppression. When he looked at Alan, the pressure became even more obvious. Link looked at Alan and said, "Your Highness, it's too dangerous for you to stay alone in the Federation's stronghold. I also heard that the foreign forces attacked this place not long ago. Your Highness, as the empress of the Emperor, it's really not appropriate for you to stay here any longer. I'd like to invite you to come back with me this time."

'"I'm not going back. I like it here. I'm happy to fight with my friends. And they'll protect me!" Lucy said with a taut face.

"Battle?" Link frowned, "Your Highness, I can't let you stay. Please come back with me."

"Impudent! Don't tell me you still need to interfere in my life?"

'"Why not? Your Highness, I am …" Link refused.

"Link!" "Remember what you promised me!" Metallon suddenly whispered.

Link's eyes twitched as he took two steps back. "Of course, I promised that I wouldn't go against it."

Alan looked at them strangely, walked forward, and stood beside Lucy, "Don't worry, Mr. Link, I'll take responsibility for Lucy's safety."

Link raised his eyebrows. "Are you in charge? May I ask who you are?"

"My name is Alan and I'm Lucy's friend."

"Alan." Link nodded. "I've heard of you. Your Highness stayed because of you." But do you know why you made such a promise? If the Catus knew that His Highness was in this stronghold, they would not only send out tens of thousands of troops. "At that time, perhaps a hundred thousand or even hundreds of thousands of troops will rush over. How can you protect His Highness in such a situation?"

"With your nineteenth level strength? Sorry, I don't mean to look down on you, but that's the truth."

Alan frowned. Although this man's words were reasonable, he gave off an aggressive feeling, and his words carried a hint of hostility. Obviously, this hostility was directed at him.

"I am also a friend of His Highness, a friend who grew up together. Although I don't have Marquis Metalon's superb combat strength, I'm still at the 24th level. Apart from that, I am also a count. Under my command, there is an army that belongs to me. Therefore, when it comes to protection, regardless of status or strength, I am more qualified than you. Mr. Allen, if you really think of His Highness, you should persuade her to come back with me. "

Lucy raised her eyebrows. "Enough, Link! Watch your words. Even father has not interfered with my life. You have no right to decide whether I should stay or go! If you still treat me as a friend, don't say anything else."

Link looked at her seriously and nodded after a long while. "We will stay here for a while. Your Highness, please think carefully. Also, the Emperor is not nonchalant. He just wants to give you more time. I am very clear about that."

Lucy clenched her fists and trembled slightly. Suddenly, a warm hand wrapped around it, thus melting the uneasiness in her heart. Ellen smiled warmly at her and looked at Link. "Mr. Link is right. I do have many shortcomings. But I believe that I will soon surpass you and most people. It's not that I'm arrogant, it's that I have to do it."

"Oh?" Link's eyes clearly didn't believe what Alan said.

"Because if I don't, I don't have the qualifications to ask Emperor Orfasis to marry his beloved daughter, Lucy … to me!"

Everyone was stunned, especially Lucy. She was first shocked, then her eyes were filled with joy. Link was shocked and furious, but he restrained himself and did not roar. "I admire your confidence, but I'm sure you'll never be able to do that," he said, shaking his head. "You can't believe it, you can try. But in the end, you'll find it all in vain."

"That's not right, Link." '"Even though I'm said to have seen the wrong person, there are many fragments of the future that I've seen, and when the time comes, they all undergo subtle changes," she said, smiling indifferently as she stood on Ellen's side in surprise. The universe is full of change. There is never anything absolute. There are many times when will is enough to determine the future, depending on how you choose. "

"Do you choose to stand up, or do you choose to give up …"
