Chapter 133
Standing behind Alexander, Michelle couldn’t see his expression, but she could clearly see the shock on the old tavern lady’s face, making her frown a bit. Alexander was clearly from the upper, if not the heavenly realm, and though he did stay in the Land of Exile for a long time, there was no reason for a tavern lady in the lower realm to know him. Unless he had stopped at the tavern before he went into the Land of Exile.
Quickly, the old tavern lady controlled her expression and bowed her head calmly. "My Lord!"
Alexander just nodded at her and glanced back at Michelle with his playful smile still on his face. "How many people do you need to fit in the place?" he asked with a tilt of his head.
Michelle moved her gaze between the old lady and Alexander for a while before she closed her eyes for a moment to absorb the information. "Twelve thousand..." she said as she opened her eyes.
It wasn’t that she didn’t expect Alexander to have influence even in the lower realm. She knew that the power of the Dark Lord stretched over all three realms and maybe even the heavenly realm. But she just couldn’t understand why those in the lower realm knew what their Lord looked like. In most huge organizations, those in the low-ranked places or positions couldn’t dream of meeting the Elders, not to mention the Head.
That could mean two things. Either the old tavern lady was someone formidable, who was just stationed in the lower realm, or the Dark Lord’s organization was structured differently than Michelle was used to, so even a member in the lower realm had the chance to see Alexander or David.
And there was one more thing. Maybe the low-ranked people in the organization were shown the appearance of their leader, through a portrait or a vision stone, so they could know who to be respectful to.
While Michelle thought about the structure of Alexander’s organization, he spoke with the old tavern lady. "A place to accommodate twelve thousand people?" he asked with a raised brow. His voice was playful, but the light in his eyes left no room for questions.
The old lady quickly nodded and took out a key from a drawer. "The basement should be suitable," she said as she handed the key over and motioned with her head to the staircase behind her.
