After the family reunited, Meria still held Rolla's hand tightly, for fear that her daughter would disappear again if she let go.
The Elf King's father-in-law walked to Chen Rui's side and patted him on the shoulder, "You are very good, very good!"
Chen Rui just noticed that the strength of the Elf King's father-in-law had actually climbed to Demi-God. In fact, Spann's strength was already Demi-God more than 20,000 years ago. It was just that the elves were in an existential crisis at that time. In order to seal the curse of the Tree of Nature in the Emerald Forest Sea elves, Spann paid the price of demotion and his life. If it weren't for Meria's secret technique of life sharing later, this Elf King would have fallen.
Rather than saying that Spann's advancement to Demi-God was "advancement", it was better to say that it was "recovery". This should also have the credit of Chen Rui's "filial piety" by offering many treasures last time. It was just that the father-in-law seemed to be unable to control his strength when he was excited. He almost broke his son-in-law's shoulder blade.
"Mom, this is Paglio, this is Krobelus, and … Dodo, they are all my best friends."
Merilla's eyes lit up. In the past, Rolla had always been a self-centered person, or he had always been immersed in his experiments and training. He had never had any friends, but now, he actually made a few "good friends" — that man and woman should also be dragons, but that National-level onion was a little strange …
Krobelus pulled Paglio to salute Meria and her husband. Master Poison Dragon looked a little embarrassed. In fact, he and Rolla were sworn enemies at the beginning. No one expected that the 2 would actually turn enemies into friends and become true friends.
Meria's gaze finally fell on Isabella. Although she did not see the scene of Isabella and Chen Rui holding hands, the fairy dragon's Great Elder instinctively felt the "threat" of this charming woman to her daughter. She asked vigilantly, "What about this lady?"
Facing Rolla's mother, even Isabella couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Isabella, one of his women." Rolla's answer made the atmosphere weird. However, Miss Long immediately took Isabella's hand and added, "Inni is my sister and also my closest family in 'that place'."
Rolla's choice of words and address surprised Meria and Spann. The couple quickly exchanged glances and nodded slightly.
Isabella looked at Rolla gratefully and bowed respectfully to Merilla. "Lady Merilla."
"You don't have to be so reserved, Inni. Since you're Rolla's sister, you're our family. Just call me Auntie."
"Aunt Melia."
Chen Rui secretly heaved a sigh of relief. "Aunt Melia, let's go over there and have a seat."
"You have to call me Lady Melia!" The mother-in-law glared at her son-in-law with dissatisfaction, but she smiled at Isabella. She walked over and pulled Isabella and Miss Long affectionately to the side to talk.
Chen Rui was speechless for a while. He faintly heard his mother-in-law's question of "how many sisters do you have?". He couldn't help but complain secretly. When he looked at his mother-in-law's father next to him, he smiled guiltily and quickly explained.
After explaining for a long time, Elf King didn't seem to hear anything. He asked back, "What did you say?"
Chen Rui: …
Sure enough, like father like daughter.
Master Poison Dragon, who was watching the fun at the side, seemed to be gloating. He whistled with an expression of "You also have this day" on his face. Only the handsome master who didn't understand the situation jumped around happily, explaining that ignorance was happiness.
After reuniting after such a long time, the family seemed to have endless things to talk about.
"Baby, it turns out that you have experienced so much. In any case, don't leave us again." Spann looked at his daughter next to Chen Rui dotingly, "Wherever you want to go, Mom and Dad will accompany you!"
Spann's last sentence was a little loud. Groas slowly walked over in the distance, "Spann, you can go, but Melia, you can't go."
Melia frowned, and Spann sneered, "Our family can go wherever we want! What qualification does an outsider like you have to talk! "
Groas ignored the Elf King and walked to the opposite of Melia, "Melia, let's go back to Ryūzoku. The elders are about to convene. You must not leave at this time."
Spann jumped up. Contrary to his usual elegance and pretended to be deaf and dumb, he cursed out loud, "Groas! Melia is my wife, why would she go back with you, get lost! "
Chen Rui had long seen that there was something wrong between this Dragons elder and the Elf King's father-in-law. At this time, Rolla moved closer to his ear and whispered, "Uncle Groas and mom are students of the same teacher, and also mom's biggest pursuer in the past … …"
So that's how it is! Chen Rui revealed a look of realization. No wonder this Groas who cherished his words like gold would become so talkative in front of Melia. No wonder his father-in-law would explode.
"Spann!" Groas shouted in a deep voice, "Do you want to put Melia in a difficult situation?"
The Elf King coldly snorted in disdain, "Isn't it just the position of Great Elder? Whoever wants it can take it! After so many years in Ryūzoku, I'm tired of those senseless intrigues! Now that our daughter has been found, we have no regrets. Ryūzoku … … At worst, we'll just part ways! Our whole family will go back to the Jadeite Forest Sea! "
"Do you think so too, Melia?" Merya! "Groyas looked straight at Merya.
"Spann," Melia didn't directly answer, but first held Spann's hand, her eyes incomparably gentle, "Do you still remember the scene when you risked your life to rush to the Jadeite Forest Sea? I, also have a responsibility that I can't give up. "
The Elf King's anger gradually subsided, he tightly held his wife's warm hand, and didn't say anything.
Only then did Melia look at Groas, "I have never forgotten my teacher's last words and my own responsibility, but this time, Stanwil has been preparing for a long time, moreover, there is the secret support of His Majesty the Dragon Emperor, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for me to withstand his revolt. When the time comes, not only will I lose my position as Great Elder, I might even be expelled from Ryūzoku."
"If you go, you still have a chance. If you don't participate, you won't even have a last chance!" Groas clenched his fists tightly.
"I didn't say that I won't participate in this time's Elder Council, I will fight with all my might," Melia nodded, handing Chen Rui a communication ball, "Richard, take this communication ball."
As there were many outsiders present, Melia and Spann had been paying attention to how they addressed Chen Rui, "Stay with Rolla, Isabella, and these friends on the Isle of Storms first. Once I've settled some matters, I will immediately contact you."
"No, Melia, Rolla should go back with you."
Groas's words completely ignited the Elven King. Two long and narrow swords appeared in his hands, appearing in front of Groas in an instant. His body turned into countless afterimages, the sword-light turned into a waterfall that filled the sky, piercing straight through.
The afterimages and waterfall suddenly disappeared, only to see the two light blue swords piercing through Groas's shoulders. Fresh blood quickly dyed his clothes red, but Spann, who was holding the two swords in his hands, had a look of astonishment on his face.
Although Spann's swordsmanship was extraordinary and he was a demigod back in the day, he had after all advanced to demigod not long ago, while Groas was from the strongest Saint-dragon clan, his strength was already close to the middle stage of demigod, and he had extremely rich battle experience. The odds of winning between the two were fifty-fifty, it would not be easy for either of them to win.
The reason why Spann's two swords directly hit him was entirely because Groas did not evade or give way.
"Groas!" Melia also cried out in alarm.
This time, Groas did not look at Melia, but stared at Spann who was still astonished: "Do you know how outstanding Rolla is? She has the strength of a Peak Nation, completely defeating Perin. Not only Perin, under the same level, she has no opponent, even before you advanced! She could even take a heavy blow from me at the demigod level unscathed! She is the most outstanding genius in Ryūzoku for so many years! "
After seeing Rolla, Spann and Melia were completely focused on their daughter and did not care about anything else. Hearing what Groas said, they finally knew what happened before the couple came here.
Darling Rolla completely defeated Perin?
And even took a blow from Groas?
"You should be very clear what such a genius means to Ryūzoku. Although His Majesty Palgoris secretly supported Stanwil and wanted to completely control the Elders Council, compared to the future of the whole of Ryūzoku, he valued the latter more. With Rolla, Melia has the capital to deal with the Elders Council. Even if she no longer holds the position of Great Elder, at least she will not be exiled. Spann, you are Melia's husband, you insist on taking her and Rolla away, I have no right to stop you. But, have you thought about it from Melia's point of view? I only have one question for you, after you were ostracized and left the Jadeite Forest, did you really give up on the elves? "
Spann was silent. After he gave up on the Elf Queen and chose Melia, he was ostracized by the elves and left the Jadeite Forest. However, when the elves were facing a crisis of life and death, Spann put aside all previous grudges and joined hands with Melia to break into the forest, killed the fallen elves, and sealed the Tree of Nature at the cost of his life and power. If he said that he had given up on the elves, he was simply deceiving himself. Just like what Melia had said before, she also had her own responsibilities that she could not let go of.
The thin swords emitted a strong blue light, but it was not to kill the enemy, but to heal. In the blink of an eye, the two thin swords had already disappeared. Groas's wound stopped bleeding and began to rapidly heal. Of course, this was only a superficial healing, but the Saint-dragon had a strong self-healing ability. He only needed to rest for a few days and he would be completely healed.
The Elven King's action was undoubtedly a tacit approval of Groas's proposal. At this time, Melia spoke, "I am me, and Rolla is Rolla. My daughter is not any kind of bargaining chip. I will not let my daughter's freedom be restricted because of my own matters."
Back then, the marriage between Rolla and Karru had the backing of the Dragon Emperor Palgoris. Perlin was Palgoris' biggest supporter at that time, and Melia's prestige in the Elders Council was extremely high. Through this marriage, the Dragon Emperor could unify and further consolidate his newly ascended rule. However, this also caused Rolla to retaliate, and in the end, she left for twenty thousand years.
Therefore, now, no matter what, Melia would not let her daughter be involved in the whirlpool of Ryūzoku's struggle.
Groas smiled bitterly, "Melia, I do not want to restrict Rolla's freedom. On the contrary, as long as she can show her strength and value, she can do as she pleases. Moreover, when your son-in-law was fighting with me, he accidentally destroyed the Dragons' trial ground. The cooperation with the Isle of Storms had already caused dissatisfaction in the Elders Council. Fortunately, those Dragons who participated in the trial were very interested in this kind of trial. Now that the trial ground has been destroyed, I'm afraid it will only make things worse. "
"You don't have to say anymore, Groas. I have made up my mind." Melia's attitude was extremely firm.
"Wait, mother." Rolla spoke, "I will go back with you."
"No!" Melia and Spann said in unison.
"Aunt Melia, Uncle Spann, let me say a few words." Chen Rui's voice rang out, "First of all, I want to say … Perhaps in your eyes, Rolla is still a little girl who should hide behind her parents, but in reality, your daughter has already grown up. She has made her own choices and responsibilities. I think her choice is correct, so I support her. I will go with her to Ryūzoku."
Rolla glanced at Chen Rui, undisguised affection flashing behind her glasses.
"No, you …"
"Melia, Richard is right, your daughter has really grown up." The Elven King stopped his wife from speaking, "We are a family, no matter what, we will face it together."
Melia was silent for a long time, finally nodding slowly, "Alright, then let's go back together. I want to see what kind of storm Stanwil can stir up. "
"This is my Melia." The Elven King and Melia looked at each other, and they were full of pride, "At most, we will make a big fuss, just like I did in the Emerald Forest Sea!"
"I will go too." Isabella said softly and held Rolla's hand.
"How can I and my wife miss out on such a lively event?" Master Poison Dragon held Ms. Betty's slender waist and grinned. Master Really Handsome also jumped and raised his hand, indicating that he was willing to go to Ryūzoku to find some soft persimmons to bully.
"Very good." Spann didn't say anything polite. He just nodded. My daughter is right. They are indeed true friends.
"Since this is the case …" Groas dropped a sentence and turned his head, "You should hurry up to repair this trial ground. At least, you should barely restore part of the function before the meeting of the elders."
"Hmph!" Spann glanced at Groas's back, "Although this guy is annoying, his proposal is right. Richard, let's hurry up. "
"There's no need." Chen Rui smiled confidently, "If that Stanwil wants to use this as an excuse to suppress Aunt Melia, I have full confidence to slap his face back. While there is still time, let's build a long-term two-way teleportation portal. I believe that after this elder meeting, the Storm Island will become an indispensable true partner of the entire Ryūzoku. "
Both Melia and Spann had seen Chen Rui's ability. Seeing that he was so confident, their eyes lit up.
"If he says he can do it, then he can definitely do it." Rolla added, and Isabella nodded.
"Although this guy is cunning and shameless, his ability to bluff is still great." Master Poison Dragon added another sentence.
"Master is really — handsome!"
