Chapter 853

What followed next was the highlight of the ceremony.

Queio stood in front of the square and slowly raised his hands. As he chanted in the Dragon language, intense magic power surged out and wrapped the soil and sand around the periphery of the palace. A deep pit was dug in the white square, and the foundation of the Magic Tower began to be built. The rotating sand and stones in the air seemed to have a life of their own as they piled up one by one into layers of the Magic Tower.

The four lords looked on with folded arms, silently watching Queo's "performance." Beside Victor, the green dragon Morales used the green vines on the surface of his body to form a line of words: "Are you willing to do this?"

How could Victor be willing? But the situation was right in front of him, and he had to endure it. The Green Dragons did not care about worldly affairs all year round. They used Nature magic and liked to hide in the forest the most. Therefore, whatever this lord said usually had nothing to do with him.

Victor was too lazy to say more. He used the words condensed from ice to reply: "At least for now, we are all standing together. We will not become enemies because of this."

This sentence was very lacking in sincerity. It was obviously a perfunctory reply. Morales, who had long dark green hair, narrowed his eyes, and the vines on his robe returned to their original appearance. After a few seconds, he said thoughtfully: "Too much greed will always bring unpredictable results."

Victor frowned. He did not understand who Morales was talking about. Was it Queio? Or himself?

In the past, this Green Dragon Lord appeared and disappeared mysteriously. This time, he suddenly appeared here, most likely because Queio had promised him the condition of the "Space-Time Rift." Victor felt that the Green Dragons were indeed in a state of "aloof from worldly affairs." He heard that the most common thing they did was to disguise themselves as towering ancient trees and then stay in one place for decades or even centuries …

It was indeed unrealistic for this guy to become the leader of the Dragons.

Victor thought so. He turned his head and found that Queio had used magic power to build a complete Magic Tower in the square in front of him!

The base of this Magic Tower was more than 100 meters wide, and the body of the tower was pentagonal and nearly 200 meters high. To the humans of this era, the scene in front of them was probably something they could brag about for the rest of their lives …

The soldiers used for the honor guard around were scared to tremble. When the magic tower was built halfway, they couldn't help kneeling down. Following their movements, almost all the humans in the square reacted in the same way — the nobles who held power, the eunuchs of the palace, the eunuchs, Charles II's two daughters and son, and even the patrolling soldiers on the inner city wall.

Only Charles II, as the King, stood in the same place, looking up at the towering Magic Magic Tower that was slowly taking shape.

My time has come!

His heart was filled with lofty sentiments, and he could hardly control himself. When Queo walked over to him with a smile on his face, the monarch didn't bother to conceal the tears at the corners of his eyes and he bowed deeply to express his gratitude.

"The dragons have always wanted to help humans in the field of magic. I believe that you, as the ruler of the humans, will be able to accomplish this mission."

Queo really put in a lot of effort in his acting. In fact, among all the Dragon Tribes, the Red Dragon Tribe looked down on humans the most. In his heart, the only redeeming feature of humans was their speed of reproduction. As for the others … What was the difference between them and ants?

After he finished his courteous words, he turned his attention to the four Dragon Lords and strode in front of them. "The Red Dragons will temporarily take over the cooperation with the humans. If there is anything you need to add, please let me know at any time. At that time, each Dragon can leave one of their juniors to guide them. After all, the greater the achievements of humans in the field of magic, the greater our chances of success in the future. "

These words were spoken in the Dragon language. Charles II couldn't understand them at all, let alone the Magisters. The complexions of the Dragon Lords changed when they heard this. After all, Queio was acting like a "big brother" and was giving orders. Even if they were mentally prepared, they still wouldn't feel good after being scolded like this.

Fortunately, Quao was not foolish enough to assert his authority now. He turned around and began to engage in 'family talk' with Charles II in Bringan. He told him about the various views of the feudal lords on the future alliance with the humans. To Charles II, it was a great honor to be able to speak to this group of world's top bigwigs. He greeted them humbly. Although he was standing, his words were no different from kneeling.

After more than ten minutes of conversation, Charles II invited the Dragon Lords to a grand banquet. But this time, the Dragon Lords did not agree. They left with some excuses. Such a scene was within Quail's expectations. He stayed behind, and after drinking a cup of wine, he excused himself and left.

This was enough. Charles II did not think that the Dragon Lords would stay for the banquet. After the Dragon Lords left, the banquet turned into a sea of revelry.

"This toast is to Emperor Kang En!"

"To the glory of the past!"

"The glory of the Kingdom of Karen will reappear on the earth!"

"Cheers! Cheers! "

The nobles shouted heroically. The upper class would never make a racket at a banquet like the vulgar farmers. But today was different. Anyone with a clear head knew that Charles II's future was limitless. The "gathering of the five Dragons in the Royal City" was enough for him to go down in history.

No matter how many mistakes he had made and how much land he had lost, from this moment on, the resurgence of the Kingdom of Karen was unstoppable!

The banquet lasted for a day and a night. Everyone was drunk. When they woke up, they fainted again because of the joy. Charles II tried his best to control himself. But eventually, he could not hold his liquor and vomited several times. When the sun rose in the morning, he didn't care about his weak body after vomiting for a whole night. He let his son and daughter support him as he walked around the Devil Tower built by Quio in an intoxicated manner …

"Power, real power."

He reached out and touched the smooth surface of the wall. He could not help but sigh. When the monarch climbed all the way to the top of the magic tower and looked down at the whole Royal City from such a height, he could not help but look to the west under the rising sun.

"Just you wait … your doomsday is here."

*****

In March, the sales of "Karen's Era" dropped significantly.

The 'Royal Family Weekly', which used to be a mediocre newspaper, had made an epic comeback within a month. Although it wasn't able to overwhelm the 'Cullen's Era' that had previously dominated the country, it had become the most popular publication in the eastern part of the kingdom.

Needless to say, the news of "the gathering of the five Dragon Lords in the Royal City to meet Charles II" had become a well-known news in the Kingdom of Karen. Even the farmers in the fields could vividly describe the process of the "Dragon Tower" being built by Lord Queio.

As a result, there was a large-scale "magic craze."

Before this, the mages in the Kingdom of Karen were either funded by the royal family or supported by the great nobles. They did not have a close relationship with each other and could only be regarded as "each serving their own master." However, Charles II turned the tables and, with the support of the Dragons, gained an indisputable dominant position. At this time, he took advantage of the situation and ordered the mages to come to the "Dragon Tower" to learn magic. Which nobleman would be so blind as to stop them?

In addition, after the "Magic Exchange" in Elsen City ended, a group of mages suddenly found out that the royal family had opened a magic academy under the guidance of the Dragons after leaving Elsen City. Without another word, they rushed to join the academy.

If it were not for Roddy's strict information control, it was likely that the mages that Elsen had just signed would have all gone missing. In fact, Crohn and Strange, who originally intended to stay here, chose to leave in the end. Those who really relied on the "information blockade" to stay were mostly low-level and middle-level mages who had not been treated well in the Magic Tower.

And this was only a microcosm of the general situation. Queio's support for Charles II was far from as simple as a few words. He really let seven or eight Dragons serve as "mentors" in the Magic Tower. At the same time, he also let the other Dragons send at least one to assist in the "teaching." Naturally, Victor and the others, who had received favors from others, would not renege on this kind of thing. However, no matter how negative their response to this kind of thing was, even if the Dragons they sent were weak or even underage, it was still equivalent to helping the forces of the Kingdom of Karen led by the royal family and standing on the opposite side.
