Chapter 927: Legendary Night (Part Four)
Lewis was the first to wake up from the shock.
While he tried to quickly think back to the influential figures of Alania who he potentially had encounters with, he carefully tried to confirm with the young man before him. "This… are you sure? Father of the Nation is summoning my family? Is there a mistake?"
The people around him were thinking of the same thing; they believed that there was a mistake.
Those former n.o.bles in the area already started saying things like there was a mistake, Lewis was only a grain merchant with a dirty bloodline, Father of the Nation was looking for them, and this low-level grain merchant wasn"t qualified to meet the Father of the Nation. All kinds of chatter could be heard.
The gentle and calm young man who was here to invite Lewis and his family suddenly turned cold and glanced around, and the chilly spirit instantly made those former n.o.bles shut their mouths. Right now, this young man was no longer kind and friendly; he turned into a killer who was merciless and looked at living beings coldly.
Now, no one dared to doubt this young man"s words.
It was clear that this young man who looked to be in his twenties was a master warrior.
When he turned around, this young man"s expression turned gentle and kind again. With a smile, he said, "Sir, please follow me!"
Lewis and his family followed this young man and walked toward the group of people that represented the power circle of Alania. Others around them looked at them in confusion and envy, and they felt anxious and unsure.
Wherever they went, the crowd separated by moving to two sides and made a path for them.
Soon, they got to the stairs before the Royal Palace.
Lewis was an experienced person. When he got here, he didn"t dare to move forward anymore. With his wife and daughter, they kneeled and kowtowed while shouting, "Greetings, honorable and kind Emperor. Greetings, honorable and kind Father of the Nation!"
"Please get up," the young emperors" gentle voice sounded by his ear.
Only then did Lewis have the courage to stand up, and he felt dizzy. The people in front of him were all influential figures who he could rarely see, but they were all smiling and looking at him.
"Am I dreaming?" Lewis thought to himself. His wife and daughter were doing much worse; their legs turned to jelly, and they felt a little suffocating.
"You three don"t need to be so formal. Father of the Nation invited you over. Come here and stand by me." Young Leo who was wearing a golden crown already had the majesty of an emperor, and his words and actions reflected his status and n.o.bility. He waved his hands and told Lewis"s Family to stand beside him and Fei.
It was a great honor.
The people in the area heard it, and they were shocked, not knowing what was happening.
"Why is the Emperor treating this little grain merchant this well? He is even allowing this man who has an inferior bloodline to stand on the stairs. Even the new n.o.bles don"t have this privilege!" they thought to themselves.
Right now, Lewis felt like he was going to faint. He didn"t know what was going to happen, and he walked onto the stairs with his wife and daughter. While standing beside the Emperor, he squeezed out a smile onto his face, but it looked uglier than a crying expression. It wasn"t that he wasn"t excited; it was just that everything came so suddenly, and he didn"t know why this was happening. Therefore, he was nervous and anxious.
"When I was chatting with Father of the Nation, he mentioned that there is a grain merchant in Dixie City named Moreau Lewis, and this man is kind, generous, and righteous. Also, he really cares about the empire and is loyal to Alania. In the last while, he has been offering simple porridge to the homeless refugees every day at certain times, saving many Alanians. Father of the Nation praised you, and I"m very pleased as well. I appreciate your actions and thoughts; you are indeed a role model for all merchants of Alania!"
Everyone realized what was going on after hearing the young Emperor"s words.
Lewis also gradually understood what was happening.
Things weren"t exactly like that; he didn"t actively do the act of kindness.

Chapter 927: Legendary Night (Part Five)
Since many refugees starved to death every day, his pure and kind daughter Jenny couldn"t watch. Therefore, she stole a little bit of grains from the storage every day and set up a few kitchens in the poor areas of the city, offering free porridge to refugees. Lewis learned about this later, but he didn"t stop her. Although he valued the grains since a little bag of grains could go for a gold bar in Dixie City and the Alania Empire, this middle-aged merchant had a kind heart and loved his daughter. After he failed to dissuade his daughter, he allowed her to continue what she was doing.
Lewis had no idea that Father of the Nation heard of this random act of kindness, and it was going to bring him so much honor.
After learning what was going on, Lewis was excited yet a little ashamed.
Seeing this, Fei found it a little funny, and he said, "That is right; I saw it with my own eyes. Right now, the Undead Creature Catastrophe ruined the crops, and the empire is having a shortage of food; many people are starving to death. If this continues, real chaos will break out in the empire. If there are a few more kind merchants like you, Leo His Majesty won"t have to worry too much about this!"
What Fei said stabilized Lewis" status.
For the last while, many people tried to meet King Alexander of chambord, the Father of Alania, and wanted to be praised. Even those generals in the military who had control over soldiers tried to get close to Fei and failed. Lewis didn"t think that his kindness was seen by Fei, and he was highly praised in front of so many people.
With this praise from the Father of the Nation, Grain Merchant Lewis" fate changed drastically. His status skyrocketed, and there was a seat for him in the power circle of Alania. In fact, Lewis might even be known in the Zenit Empire that was on the rise.
After knowing what happened, the n.o.bles in the area didn"t know if they should laugh or cry.
These influential figures in Dixie City had been trying to get praised by the Human Emperor of the North, and they spent a lot of time, energy, and money in order to achieve this goal. In the end, they all failed.

However, a little grain merchant generously gave porridge to the refugees, and he got what they wanted!
Everything was already written in fate; some things couldn"t be forced.
Now, Lewis finally came back to his senses, and he humbly thanked Fei and Leo for their high praises. While his anxiety was gone, he tried his best to hold back his elation so that n.o.bles wouldn"t hate him.
At the same time, Jenny who was behind her chubby father was also excited, and she only had the courage to look up now. When she peeked at the great Emperor and the magnificent Father of Alania, she was stunned by Fei"s face.
This girl recognized that this extremely handsome young man was that mystic young man who she met when she was handing out porridge to the refugees.
"So… so he is Human Emperor His Majesty. He actually went to the poor areas, and he even chatted with me for so long… No wonder he asked so many questions about the refugees and my family background. Human Emperor His Majesty is always with us! He is caring about Alanians all the time!"
What happened that day continued to replay in the mind of this chubby girl with freckles, imprinting itself into her head.
When Jenny looked up for the second time, she saw the majestic Father of Alania looking at her. She was startled, and she quickly lowered her head.
"What? You don"t recognize your friend? I drank a bowl of your porridge that day!" Fei wanted to help this nice girl, so he waved at her and said with a smile.
That day, he was trying to take a break from cultivation, so he went to the poor areas of Dixie City with his guard Husky. He got a little sentimental when he saw that the fate of the people at the bottom of the social ladder didn"t change much after the re-establishment of Alania; they were hungry and cold all the time, and it was tragic. On the way back to the campsite of Chambord, he ran into this girl who was handing out bowls of porridge. He was touched, so he went over and struck a conversation. Afterward, he sent people to investigate this matter and learned everything, and he had a great impression of this kind girl. Since Fei had been thinking about how to solve Alania"s food crisis, it led to what happened today.

Chapter 927: Legendary Night (Part Six)
Hearing Fei"s words, the people in the area were stunned, and they looked at Jenny with envy.
Jenny"s mind was blank, and she didn"t know how she walked to Fei"s side; she only woke up from the shock after the people around her asked her several questions, and she didn"t hear anything that Fei had said.
Seeing that his new friend was way too nervous, Fei didn"t want to say too much. After thinking for a bit, he took out a little accessory from his storage ring and handed it to this girl before saying, "Hey, don"t blank out. Since it is fate that created our encounter, this b.u.t.terfly hairpin is my gift to you, and it is a token. If you run into any trouble, you can come to me with this b.u.t.terfly hairpin, and I will help you once."
Since it was this girl"s first time encountering such a grand event, she temporarily lost the ability to think. She took the b.u.t.terfly hairpin dully and even forgot to say thanks.
All the n.o.bles in the party stared at Jenny with envy, jealousy, and hate; they wanted to devour her alive.
"G.o.d! What a stroke of luck! She has a guarantee from the Human Emperor of the North! From now on, this girl with no cultivation strength can walk around the Northern Region of Azeroth without caring about anything!"
Even Fei"s in-name disciple, the young Emperor Leo of Alania, was a little envious of this little girl; he hadn"t even gotten such a promise from Fei.
Jenny"s parents were elated.
Lewis knew that the status and the business opportunities that he was trying hard to get would soon come to him! He couldn"t believe that his naïve daughter had such luck! The Human Emperor of the North was fond of her, and it brought the family a bright future!
Then, Emperor Leo"s voice sounded by Lewis" ear; he got everything he wanted.
He became the partner of the Royal Family and was on the path to becoming the largest grain merchant in the empire. More importantly, he became a level 3 n.o.ble, and his daughter was given a t.i.tle as well.
This night, Little Jenny"s family was shot into the sky. This ending of the party was unexpected, and it had a significant effect on the fate of the Alania Empire.
Also, what happened tonight became the story that the people who came to the party told others. Later, it became a legend and was told by many traveling poets, inspiring many people to do good in life.
Many years later, Lewis became the largest grain merchant in the Northern Region of Azeroth, the only partner of the Soros" Merchant Group, and a great philanthropist. Every time he thought back to that night, his blood boiled, and he couldn"t hold back his emotions. It was with this great merchant"s support that the Alania Empire ended the food shortage crisis and survived through many disasters.
Of course, the other main character in this story, Jenny, create a legend of her own. This chubby, normal-looking girl with freckles married Emperor Leo who brought the Alania Empire out of its lowest point. As the only woman who married Emperor Leo, she also became the most beloved queen in the history of the Alania Empire. She redefined the meaning of n.o.ble with her kindness, and others knew her as the Freckle Queen with the Crystal Heart.
That was another story on its own.
On the day after the party, the expeditionary troop of Chambord started moving south again.
At the same time, the three legions of the newly established Alania Empire, [Revenge Legion], [Sharp Sword], and [Blood Fang Legion], moved with the expeditionary troop of Chambord; there were about 120,000 soldiers of Alania that went on the expedition as well.
Together, they would be facing the evolved Undead Creature Catastrophe and the mysterious force behind all this. Of course, Fei had to face Prince Götze of Ormond, another young lord whose nickname was [G.o.dly Prophet] for his ability to even calculate against the G.o.ds!
