Chapter 17 - Elder?

"Hahaha, Roy, you're here."

"Lord Laurent, Sir Fred, Sir Quill, you're back?"

After entering the Lord's Hall, Roy noticed that the deputy lords of Sanhe City, Fred and Quill, were present.

Aside from the three of them, there was also a beautiful woman, chatting and laughing with them.

"Who is this?"

"Hehe, let me introduce you, Roy, this is our family elder, Shelley Nemo."

"Nice to meet you, Miss Shelley."

"I've heard of your name, Roy."

"The name of the Starry Demon has become quite famous recently. The battle footage of the Starry Demon is worth a whopping one hundred thousand inkstones."

Don't be fooled by the fact that Laurent gave Roy one billion inkstones and thought they weren't valuable.

The entrance fee to the city was one inkstone, and this inkstone was the cost of staying in the city for a day.

People who didn't reside in the city would be sent away at the end of the day, and if they wanted to continue living in the city, they had to pay another inkstone.

The value of a lower-ranked god's divinity was about one hundred inkstones.

The divinity of a middle-ranked god was much higher, with a minimum of seven thousand inkstones.

And compared to the divinity of a middle-ranked god, the divinity of an upper-ranked god was more than a hundred times higher, with each upper-ranked god's divinity worth more than a million inkstones.

In other words, ten copies of Roy's battle footage could be exchanged for one upper-ranked god's divinity.

This was enough to show Roy's current reputation.

After some compliments, Laurent waved away the people in the guest room and set up a soundproof barrier around them.

"Roy, we invited you here today to tell you something."

"In fact, the four of us come from the same family. We want to invite you to join our family and become an elder of our family."

Roy understood.

He had known for a long time that Laurent's background was extraordinary.

But from the conversation of the people in front of him, Roy realized that Fred, Quill, and Laurent were from the same family.

"Lord Laurent, are you overestimating me?"

"Haha, Roy, don't underestimate yourself."

"You are currently a middle-ranked god with the power of a Five-Star Demon. When you reach the rank of an upper-ranked god, you will at least have the power of a Six-Star Demon."

"A Six-Star Demon is enough to hold the position of elder in our family."

"We are just inviting you a few tens of thousand years in advance, and you deserve it."

"Do you know? Some time ago, Fred and Quill returned to our family to report your situation, and it was only after the patriarch personally agreed that we invited you to join."

"Otherwise, we would not have the qualifications to offer you the position of an elder."

"I am grateful for your appreciation, Lord Laurent. If I don't agree, then I really don't know what's good for me."

"Just, Lord Laurent, may I ask if you could tell me the name of our family?"

Upon hearing Roy's agreement, the faces of Laurent and the others were filled with satisfaction.

"That's only natural."

"In fact, our current surnames are all fake."

"My real name is Laurent Erce."

"I am Fred Leiden."

"I am Quill Bowin."

"I am Shelley Nemo."

"What?"

Upon hearing the introductions of Laurent and the others, Roy was shocked, but he maintained a look of doubt on his face.

Roy didn't have much of an impression of the other three people, but the surname "Leiding" was fresh in Roy's memory.

The protagonist of this world is called "Linley Baruch", who is the descendant of the ultimate warrior created by Beirut using the blood of the Four Divine Beasts.

Tracing his lineage, the protagonist Linlei is from the Azure Dragon clan of the Four Divine Beasts, and the surname of the Azure Dragon clan from Hell is "Leiding."

"Because our clan was established by four ancestors together, our clan is called the Four Divine Beasts Clan!"

"The Four Divine Beasts Clan..."

"So, are you all divine beasts?"

Laurent and the others exchanged smiles, and then the four of them transformed instantly.

"Roar..."

In the next moment, Laurent transformed into a tiger humanoid, Fred transformed into a dragon humanoid, Kwele's body grew larger and his chest and back skin turned into thick turtle shells, while Sheryl grew a pair of fiery red wings behind her.

After transforming, the strength of the four of them increased significantly.

"Sorry, Roy, we didn't mean to conceal this from you. It's just that it involves the future development and layout of our clan, so we couldn't tell you until you joined our clan."

"Just like now, when it's just the four of us, we are the Four Divine Beasts Clan. Outside of this reception room, I am just a city lord of Sanhe City."

"I understand, Lord Laurent."

Roy nodded, indicating his understanding.

However, Roy had some speculations in his heart.

This time, when going to the Red Flame Mansion to recruit members for Sanhe City, Roy didn't hear any news about the Four Divine Beasts Clan. He thought that the ancestors of the Four Divine Beasts Clan might not have the intention to develop the Four Divine Beasts Clan into the number one clan.

But now it seems that they have already started their layout.

The development and layout of the Four Divine Beasts Clan mentioned by Laurent and the others should be that the Four Divine Beasts Clan dispatched many people like them to the Seven Great Divine Planes, quietly developing the Four Great Supreme Planes. Then, after hundreds of millions or even billions of years, they will replace the flag and become the "number one clan."

Moreover, if the development of the Four Divine Beasts Clan is interfered with by the supreme gods, it is possible for the Four Divine Beasts to take action against the interfering supreme gods and add another supreme god to the Four Divine Beasts Clan.

Such a battle will definitely happen in the future.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be the saying "Four Divine Beasts are equivalent to dominators."

However, just by looking at the fact that the Four Divine Beasts Clan hasn't added any supreme gods, Roy knows that the plans of the Four Divine Beasts have probably fallen through.

It's possible that the battle will be between the Bright Creator Augusta and the Four Divine Beasts, and neither side will win or lose.

After all, before the Four Divine Beasts Clan, the Bright Creator Augusta's Augusta Clan was the number one clan.

Of course, Roy's thoughts are too far-fetched at the moment.

Returning to the topic, with the four supreme god ancestors, each clan member who went out to develop surely has no less than ten drops of supreme god power in their hands. Moreover, they didn't choose the big cities but rather the sparsely populated tribes. Even with the strength of a three-star demon, using supreme god power gives them the short-term ability to match a five-star demon, ensuring the safety of their clan members.

"Roy, you better call me Laurent."

Laurent shook his head, saying, "Now, you are an elder of our Four Divine Beasts Clan, and in terms of status and strength, you are above us."

"Just that given our current situation, it's not suitable to go public. When we are outside, you can continue to call me City Lord Laurent, and I apologize for the inconvenience."
