Making 804
The old man who stepped into the hall with an extraordinary aura was Levi, the imperial preceptor.
Levi came to the throne and bowed to Huston. “Your Majesty.”
Joy appeared on Huston’s face. He immediately raised his hand and said to Levi, “Levi, don’t stand on ceremonies. Eunuchs, give him a seat!”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.” After saying that, Levi sat down on the armchair carried over by two eunuchs.
“Levi, I heard from Amy that the golden eagle that attacked Fensville tonight attacked your Mansion. Are you and your family all right?” Huston asked him with concern.
Levi held the fist in the other hand and said, “Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. The golden eagle did attack my mansion, but my family and I are fine.”
Huston was relieved and said, “That’s good.”
Then he looked at Levi, “I heard that the golden eagle has been repelled. Is it true?”
Levi said, “Your Majesty, the golden eagle has been injured and fled.”
Huston was delighted. “Wonderful! We must reward the man who repelled the golden eagle greatly.”
Thank you, Your Majesty. It’s my duty to repel the golden eagle and protect Fensville and the imperial palace. I shouldn’t accept the reward.” At this moment, Levi stood up from the armchair and said to Huston with cupped fists.
This time, not only Huston but also Yacouba and the other generals in the hall were stunned.
After a long while, Yacouba looked at Levi and said, “Mr. Gardner, His Majesty said that he would reward the person who repelled the golden eagle. Did you do that?”
Levi looked at Yacouba and said modestly, “Mr. Perris, I did defeat the golden eagle.”
As soon as Levi said this, Yacouba couldn’t help but become stunned.
Because Yacouba did not believe in the first place that it was Levi who repelled the golden eagle.
Although he knew that Levi was a cultivation martialist, he did not think that Levi could defeat a golden eagle that was as powerful as a Cultivation Emperor.
Moreover, as the leader of the military in the imperial court, Yacouba shouldered the heavy responsibility of ensuring the safety of the empire and Fensville.
While Levi relied solely on refining elixirs to become a favored subject of Huston.
As a veteran general on the battlefield, Yacouba naturally looked down on imposters like Levi.
Therefore, when he got a positive answer from Levi, he felt very bitter.
Something as dangerous as the golden eagle was not killed by generals in Defensible but was repelled by Levi, an imposter
who refined the elixir.
It was a shame for Yacouba and the military.
Yacouba looked at Levi and said, “Mr. Gardner, you said you defeated the golden eagle. Do you have
any evidence?”
B B
Levi said indifferently, 4 have no evidence.”
Yacouba then laughed. “It turns out that you have no evidence. Im afraid people will hardly believe that you beat back the golden eagle.”
However, the emperor sitting on the throne said, “Yacouba, I believe what Levi said.
“He never lies in front of me.
“Moreover, Levi is very capable. He can surely defeat the golden eagle.”
Seeing that Huston was speaking up for Levi, Yacouba felt jealous, but he still cupped his hands to Huston and said, “Your Majesty is right.
“What I said just now was inappropriate and offended Mr. Gardner. Mr. Gardner, please forgive me.”
Levi smiled and said, “Mr. Perris, it’s nothing.”
The Emperor looked at Levi and asked, “Levi, you repelled the golden eagle and prevented Fensville and the Imperial Palace from suffering a greater disaster. I want to reward you greatly. What do you want me to reward you?”
Levi said, “Your Majesty, I am satisfied since you’ve looked so highly upon me and let me enjoy glory and wealth. You don’t have to reward me anymore.
“I’m old now, and the only person I’m worried about is my son, Henri. He is still unmarried. I’m concerned about him.
only hope that Your Majesty can take good care of him after I die.”
After that, Levi knelt on the ground, looking as if he was totally dedicated to the emperor and the empire. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Huston was moved and said, “Levi, don’t worry. You are loyal and devoted to me. I will treat your son Henri well.
“Henri is unmarried. My daughter, Amy, is also unmarried. I intend to…”
However, before Huston could propose to engage Jaxon and Amy. Amy immediately said to him, “Father, I have something to say.”
Huston was about to talk to Levi about the engagement when he was suddenly interrupted by his daughter.
This made him a little angry with his daughter, so he said displeased, “Amy, I’m talking to Levi. What do you want to say?” “Father, I heard that Jaxon returned to Fensville from the hunt in the Daniel Mountains after catching a young golden eagle. Then another golden eagle attacked Fensville tonight.” Amy said to her father with a serious face.
“I suspect that the golden eagle attacked Fensville because Jaxon has caught its young bird in the Daniel Mountains and the golden eagle followed him to Fensville to take revenge and get its young bird back.”
As soon as Amy said this, Yacouba also cupped his fists and reported to the emperor, “Your Majesty, I have also heard about
this from the servants.”
Huston couldn’t help frowning. He looked at Levi, who was kneeling on the ground. “Levi, is what Amy and Yacouba said true?”
Levi cursed that his son was an idiot in secret.
If Jaxon hadn’t returned to Fensville flamboyantly after the hunt how could people know that he had caught a young golden eagle?
At this time, it was impossible for Levi to deny it and conceal the truth.

He could only say to the emperor, “Your Majesty, I have been refining the elixir for you the whole day.
“Therefore. I didn’t know if my son had captured a young golden eagle.
“It’s late at night when I finished refining the elixir. I wanted to send it to your palace late at night so that you can take it as soon as possible.
“However, the golden eagle attacked Fensville and my mansion.
“Then, I injured the golden eagle with my flying sword and repelled it.
“I was worried about Your Majesty, so I rushed to the palace as soon as possible. Fortunately, you were fine.
“If what Her Highness and Mr. Perris said was true, the golden eagle attacked Fensville because my son has caught the young golden eagle, I will immediately subdue my son and bring him here for Your Majesty to deal with.”
Huston’s expression softened and he said, “Levi, you don’t have to. You’ve worked hard to refine the elixir for me. I’m very touched.
“What’s more, even if Jaxon caught the young golden eagle and made the golden eagle attack Fensville accidentally, you still injured the bird and repelled it in the end.
“Your contribution will offset your son’s wrongdoing.”
“Your Majesty, you’re so merciful to me. I’d like to die for you wholeheartedly.” Levi kowtowed repeatedly on the ground. Asmile appeared on Huston’s face, “Levi, you don’t need to do that. You just said that you have refined a new pill. Hand it over quickly!
“I’ve been feeling unwell for the past few days. Without your elixir, I wouldn’t be feeling well for a single day.”
Levi said, “Don’t worry, Your Majesty. I will refine more pills for you to keep you healthy.”
After that, Levi took out a small black wooden box from the wide sleeve of his robe and said, “Your Majesty, this is the Eason Elixir that I refined for you.”
“Quickly hand it over to me,” Said Huston impatiently.
Levi then stepped forward and handed the small box to him.
Huston took the small box and opened it. Inside the box was a thumb–sized vermillion pellet.
This was the Eason Elixir that Levi had refined for him.
Seeing the vermilion pill in the box, Huston was overjoyed. “Hahaha, very good. Your pill is what I want the most.”
Seeing that her father was overjoyed to get the Eason Elixir, Amy couldn’t help frowning.
Her father wanted to live forever, so Levi refined the Eason Elixir to cater to her father’s wishes. As a result, Levi, who did not make any contributions to the country and the people, could be favored by her father and gain more power and influence day after day.
Many ministers in the court had begun to flatter Levi and gradually formed a clan around him.
This made Amy even more worried about the safety of her father and the empire.
“Father, although the golden eagle was temporarily repelled, Jaxon has captured the young bird. I’m afraid that the golden eagle will attack Fensville again and endanger the safety of everyone in Fensville.” Seeing that her father was enchanted by the elixir, Amy couldn’t help but solemnly say to her father.
Wed, Oct
.
Huston closed the small box, looked at Amy, and said, “Amy, you are right. Tomorrow, I need you and Jaxon to lead 10,000 armored cavalry and cultivation martialists to the Daniel Mountains to find the golden eagle and kill it.”
Amy was taken aback.
She did not expect that her father would ask her and Jaxon to deal with the golden eagle together.
What he meant was quite clear. Compared with killing the golden eagle, his main intention was to let her develop a better relationship with Jaxon.
Amy didn’t want to be with Jaxon. She firmly said to Huston, “Father, the golden eagle is very fierce. Even if it is injured, we can’t underestimate its strength.
“I can go there with Jaxon together. However, since we are too young and are not experienced enough, I want Mr. Perris to go to the Daniel Mountains with us.”
Hearing this, Huston also nodded and said, “Well, you’re right. I didn’t think it through carefully. Then Yacouba, you should go to the Daniel Mountains with Amy and Jaxon to kill the golden eagle.”
Yacouba cupped his fist towards Huston and said, “Yes, Your Majesty.”
Amy smiled sweetly at Huston, “Thank you, Father.”
In the Imperial Palace, Huston discussed with his ministers and daughter how to deal with the golden eagle.
Inside a wing room of an inn in Fensville, Gilmore stood in front of the window and watched the golden eagle escape.
He calmly said to the girls, “The golden eagle has indeed encountered a strong enemy. It’s already injured.”
“It’s injured?” Lilian was a little surprised.
Claire and the other girls also wondered curiously. “Was the golden eagle in the sky really injured?” Gilmore nodded. “When it flew away, its body lost balance. If I didn’t judge wrong, its wings were injured.”
The girls didn’t expect Gilmore to notice such a small detail.
If anyone else said so, they might doubt it, but they wouldn’t doubt Gilmore.
“Will the golden eagle leave just like that? Why did it attack this city?” Claire asked with a puzzled look.
Gilmore said, “The golden eagle launched a wanton attack on Fensville because its hatchling was captured.”
