Soon after, Chen Rui and the other 3 appeared in the palace on the Holy Spirit Peak.
Although it was not the first time he came to this palace, Chen Rui was still impressed by the grandeur and luxury of this palace.
From the ceiling to the ground, every inch was made of priceless materials. Even if other furnishings or treasures were not counted, the entire palace alone was equivalent to a huge treasure. However, just like the preferences of many Dragons, this style was still too "nouveau riche". It was like wearing rings on all 10 fingers for fear that others didn't know that they were rich. If an elf who was proficient in art and had a beautiful style was in this "vulgar" palace full of the "stench of money", she would definitely pick out countless flaws.
Unfortunately, Lala Liya was not an elf. From the moment she entered this palace, her eyes were full of shining black crystal coins. Since she did not fulfill her promise to marry Chen Rui, the lala loli's property was frozen by her father, Augustus, long ago. She was directly reduced from a rich and beautiful girl to a short, poor, and loser dragon. In the lala loli's own words, she could only "live under someone else's roof". In fact, it was a happy life of freeloading in the Dark Moon and harassing beauties from time to time.
I finally got a treasure map, but I almost got my sisters killed. In the end, it was still that damn human who came to save me. I owe him more and more. Now that she saw this palace that seemed to be full of piles of black crystal coins, she was naturally stunned.
Finally, the lala loli still had some self-control. If it was Olypheus, maybe the black dragon chick would immediately lie on the floor and enjoy the feeling of sleeping in a pile of money.
Walking into the hall, Chen Rui saw the ruler of Ryūzoku, Palgoris.
The Dragon Emperor was sitting on the throne in the middle, and the elders of Ryūzoku stood on both sides. It was not the first time that Chen Rui had seen these elders. Compared with the last elder meeting, although many people were absent, it was relatively complete. Stanwil, Perin, and the Dragons potion grand master, Clendit, who once wanted to worship Chen Rui as a master were all present.
"Your Majesty Palgoris, we meet again." Chen Rui bowed his head slightly to show courtesy.
The elders were taken aback because this kind of etiquette was only used by peers of the same level or status. The last time, this human's attitude was not like this. At least, he bowed.
This action also surprised and shocked Melia. She knew Palgoris's character very well. He seemed casual, but he was arrogant and scheming. Although she did not know why her son-in-law, who had always been wise, was suddenly so rude, this kind of behavior would definitely make the Dragon Emperor unhappy.
Palgoris was not too surprised or dissatisfied because he had already learned the truth of the last canonization ceremony battle on the Holy Mountain from Stanwil. The human in front of him, Melia's son-in-law, was actually able to "compete" with one of the 3 supreme angels, the veteran peak fake god Raphael!
According to Stanwil, this person used the identity of "Arthur" to easily defeat the eight-winged angel Kamel. Then, in front of Raphael, he unlocked the ancient runes array near the canonization stage and left with a imprisoned woman. Not only did Raphael fail to capture him, but he also almost suffered a great loss due to his carelessness.
From the description, the difference in strength between the two was quite obvious. "Arthur" also admitted that he was far from being a match for Raphael, but what was certain was that "Arthur" was definitely not a demigod, but a fake god!
In terms of strength, even with special treasures or secret techniques, it was almost impossible for a beginner fake god to escape from a peak fake god. If it was a peak fake god, there should not be such a huge difference in strength. Therefore, the other party's strength was probably similar to his current level, intermediate fake god. If he made use of Raphael's contempt and used the treasures, Palgoris was confident that he could escape from Raphael's hands.
Although he did not know if "Richard" had deliberately hidden his strength in Ryūzoku, or if his strength had not recovered for some reason, in any case, the human in front of him now was a well-matched opponent.
"Lord Richard, I'll call you that for now. It's a pleasure to see you again." Palgoris smiled and tilted his head to return the greeting. "Come, take a seat."
Palgoris's attitude moved the elders once again. His Majesty the Dragon Emperor actually acknowledged the other party's courtesy!
The fastest to react was Stanwil. He immediately came in front of Chen Rui and set up a chair a dozen meters below the steps of the Dragon Emperor's throne. From the decoration and specifications of the chair, it was actually only slightly inferior to the throne. It seemed to be used to entertain some level of distinguished guests.
Chen Rui nodded to Stanwil. "Elder Stanwil, thank you for the trip to Mount Sun."
The last time in Dragon Horn City, Catherine and Duoduo had a conflict with Stanwil due to a misunderstanding. Later, Stanwil brought Chen Rui and the rest to Mount Sun, which saved Duoduo a lot of precious time.
Stanwil blushed when he thought of the misunderstanding last time. He bowed and returned to Palgoris's side without saying much.
After Chen Rui sat down, Palgoris looked at Alice and Lallaria, "Don't you want to introduce the 2 beautiful ladies from another world first?"
This sentence revealed the origin of the 2 women. Chen Rui knew that the Saint-dragon had a special talent for sensing dark elements. Ordinary equipment couldn't even block this talent. This was also the reason why Callu sensed a strong dark element breath on Lallaria previously. Not to mention Palgoris's eyesight, he could even see through the secret treasure, Evil Blue Tear, that Isabella wore back then.
Alice was not a girl who had never seen a big scene. Without waiting for Chen Rui to speak, she had already walked up gracefully and gracefully performed a Demon Realm aristocratic etiquette, "Demon Realm's first princess of the Fallen Angel Empire and lord of the Dark Moon Estate, Alice. Lucifer, greets Your Majesty Palgoris."
"Although I'm in the human world, I have also heard the Dragons who have returned from their training talk about the name of the Dark Moon Estate. I didn't expect Princess Royal Highness to be the lord of the largest estate in the Demon Realm at such a young age. Amazing." Palgoris's gaze fell on Lallaria, "So, this … Black Miss Long?"
Black dragon! If the elders were already whispering when Alice claimed to be from the "Demon Realm" previously, then the word "black dragon" that Palgoris pointed out made the whispers louder.
The black dragon is recognized as the sworn enemy of the Saint-dragon family. There are almost no black dragons in the human world. Today, "Richard" actually openly brought a black dragon into the palace of the Holy Spirit Peak!
"Since I have to introduce myself in this kind of place, let's be serious. After all, I'm the daughter of the old man …" Lallaria's tone changed. She actually revealed a terrifying temperament that was completely different from her usual carelessness. She met the scrutinizing gaze of the Dragon Emperor without showing any weakness, "The heir of the Demon Realm's Dragon Island, the daughter of the current Dragon Emperor Augustus, Lallaria. Sylla Salomonkele."
This black dragon girl is actually the next Dragon Emperor of the Demon Realm! The elders suddenly became restless.
The dragons of the Demon Realm were called the Fallen Dragons by the surface world. The Dragon Island and Ryūzoku were naturally irreconcilable enemies. The future Dragon Emperor of the Demon Realm actually came to the surface world's Ryūzoku. Is he going to start a war?
"Hey hey … Old men over there, stop muttering. I'm not deliberately trying to break in and start a war." After saying that, Lallaria returned to her careless manner and pointed at Chen Rui fearlessly, "I'm here with this guy today. If you want to cause trouble, take him down first."
"Madam Lala Aria, you seem to have become a lot more cunning." Chen Rui glanced at the lala loli with a weird expression.
"Of course, who am I? Oohohohoho … "
Palgoris waved his hand, and the restlessness of the elders immediately quietened down. The Dragon Emperor looked at Lallaria with interest, "Interesting! Her Highness Lallaria is right, now is not the time to start a war. Your Highness' strength, courage, and temperament are all worthy of praise. Someone, bring the two Highnesses a seat. "
So, there were two more seats of lower specifications next to Chen Rui.
"Your Excellency Richard, you've really given me a show of strength with your arrival. Just the number of people sitting here is already more than my side," Palgoris said to Chen Rui with a smile, "You've abducted the number one genius of Ryūzoku, Elder Rolla, for so long. Don't tell me this time is just to visit Elder Rolla … or this old friend who thinks too highly of himself?"
"To be honest, Your Majesty, I've specially come to Ryūzoku this time to ask for a favor."
"Please speak."
"I have a wife who has some health problems and urgently needs the Golden Ambergris Flower. I heard that Your Majesty's Queen Sophia has one, so I've come to ask for Your Majesty's help."
"Golden Ambergris Flower?" Palgoris seemed a little surprised, thinking for a moment, "This … I'm afraid I can't help you, Your Excellency."
Chen Rui frowned, "Your Majesty, this Golden Ambergris Flower is very important to me, I'm willing to pay any price for it."
"It's not about the price," Palgoris shook his head, "It's about Sophia … Anyway, I'm sorry."
This was clearly a refusal. Before Chen Rui could speak, Lallaria snorted in dissatisfaction, "Why are you wasting so much time with him? Just say it: If he doesn't hand it over, I'll destroy Ryūzoku!"
As soon as this sentence came out, the air in the hall suddenly became suffocating. The Dragon Emperor's eyes burned with a terrifying flame as he stared at Chen Rui's face, "This is your attitude?"
Although it was Lallaria who said it, she was only a demigod. There was no way she would be so arrogant as to court death. She must have been instructed by 'Richard'.
Chen Rui was silent for a moment, "Your Majesty, tell me the truth. Even if we're not real friends, we're partners in many fields, be it magic games, magic phones, or millet wine … Besides, Aunt Meria and Uncle Spann are Rolla's parents and my family. I'm willing to exchange the Golden Ambergris Flower with items of equal value, including artifacts, black potions, or more commercial projects … However, if these are not enough to satisfy Your Majesty's appetite, then, I'm sorry, I won't rule out taking it by force. "
After all, the Golden Ambergris Flower was Ryūzoku's treasure, and considering the relationship between Rolla's parents and Ryūzoku in the past, Chen Rui did not want to use force right from the start. Instead, he wanted to be polite before resorting to force.
As soon as the last sentence was said, Palgoris's expression finally changed. Meria and Groas were shocked, and the elders were all moved. Was this' Richard 'looking for death? He actually dared to provoke the Dragon Emperor in Ryūzoku!
Palgoris slowly stood up from the throne, the might of a pseudo-god emanating from him bit by bit. "What a good 'tell the truth'. I heard that you once successfully escaped from Raphael's hands. Today, I'd like to see for myself."
Escaped from Raphael's hands? Other than Stanwil, the elders, including Meria, were all shocked. No wonder the Dragon Emperor had treated 'Richard' with such respect.
Palgoris's gaze fell on Chen Rui's left hand, "There seems to be something wrong with your hand. I won't take advantage of you, I'll only use one hand, or wait for you to recover …"
"Don't think too highly of yourself. This guy can easily strangle you to death with one hand." Lala Liya continued with her shocking words. Her words almost ignited the entire hall.
