In the hall, the earth shook and mountains shook, and many Dragons cried out in alarm.
A moment later, Chen Rui walked in with a satisfied expression, dusting his hands.
"Oh?" Palgoris's interest grew, "You've finished talking with him?"
"Yes, he lost in 'reasoning'." Chen Rui spread his hands, "According to the agreement, Stanwil should apologise in public and compensate for all his assets. But he was right, his conflict with Aunt Meria is an internal affair of the Dragons. As an outsider, it is not appropriate for me to interfere in how it is resolved. The decision should be left to His Majesty and Aunt Meria. "
A look of surprise appeared on Palgoris's face. This method was equivalent to giving up the fruits of the battle after winning. Although it looked like a loss, it was a good way to preserve the dignity of the Dragon Emperor and even the entire Dragon race. It was a brilliant method of advancing by retreating. Just from Maylia's point of view, it was more fruitful than directly making Stanwell apologize and compensate.
"So, the one with the greatest talent is not Rolla, but you." Palgoris looked deeply into Chen Rui's eyes, "The youngest grandmaster in history, the youngest demigod. Perhaps there is something else I do not know … I have a feeling that I am ignorant and ill-informed. When did the human race produce such a peerless figure like you? I didn't even know about it until today. "
Palgoris's burning gaze swept past Isabella, and his eyebrows raised slightly.
Chen Rui noticed the change in the Dragon Emperor's gaze, and smiled calmly, "Cooperation is not about begging or charity. For both parties, the stronger the better, isn't that right?"
"That's right." Palgoris nodded, "Please sit."
Meria suddenly spoke up, "Before Your Majesty and Richard discuss the cooperation, I want to say something first."
Palgoris nodded slightly, "Please speak, Great Elder."
"I originally wanted to report this matter to Your Majesty before the meeting of elders. However, I happened to hear the news about Rolla, so I hurried to reunite with my daughter. I apologize for the delay, Your Majesty. "
"It doesn't matter. I can totally understand your feelings."
"Your Majesty, the original intention of the Elders Council was to assist the Dragon Emperor, to gather wisdom, and to let the Dragons move forward in a more stable situation. For many years, they had played an extremely important role. The Elders' Guild's contribution to Ryūzoku's current scale and development was obvious to all. However, there are pros and cons to everything. After a long time, we have also seen some shortcomings. What I want to clarify here is the issue of the Great Elder's authority. Since the original intention of the Elders Guild is to gather everyone's strengths and avoid a single mistake, then the Great Elder should not have the highest authority to make decisions alone. I suggest that the Great Elder's authority be divided, with a portion integrated into the Dragon Emperor's authority and a portion given to the elders. Each elder would have the right to vote and make decisions. The role of the Great Elder would be more like a spiritual assistant, with the focus on promoting the implementation of the Dragon Emperor's decisions and training new people. "
After hearing Dragon Emperor's words, all the elders burst into an uproar at once. It was equal to distributing the highest authority of the Great Elder to all the other elders. Not only would the status of all the elders and authority be further improved, but from the perspective of Dragon Emperor, his decision-making power would also be further improved. As a result, the original authority of the Great Elder would be greatly reduced.
Palgoris's eyes flickered for a moment before he took a deep breath, "Great Elder Meria, may I be rude to ask if you are serious?"
"These words are completely from the bottom of my heart." Meria looked straight into Palgoris's eyes. "It is also what I have always thought. Now, as the Great Elder, I formally propose this to Your Majesty and ask for Your Majesty's approval."
"If I remember correctly, the authority that the Great Elder has today should have been further strengthened by the former Great Elder, that is, your teacher, Neerince. Before Great Elder Neerince died, he specially handed the position of Great Elder to you, but now you …"
"Teacher is wholeheartedly for the Dragons and does not have any selfish motives. The gods can attest to this," Meria said resolutely. "This world is constantly developing and improving, and Ryūzoku must adapt to this environment and constantly adjust and improve in order to keep up with the pace of the times. The Dragons need a more united and harmonious leadership. Internal strife or adherence to old rules will only make us stagnate or even go backwards. Let the Dragons always stand proudly at the peak of the world, this is also Teacher's original intention. "
Palgoris slowly stood up and solemnly bowed to Meria. "Great Elder, please accept my highest respect and apologies for some of the misunderstandings I have had. I swear by the Dragon God that as long as I, Palgreis, am in power, Great Elder Meria will always be the leader of the Council of Elders, the guide of the Dragon Clan, and my good teacher and friend. "
Meria also bowed in return. This resolution was naturally unanimously approved by all the Elders (with the exception of a certain 'brother-in-law' who was away), and the somewhat delicate atmosphere immediately became harmonious.
Chen Rui nodded inwardly. This move of his mother-in-law's was much better than what he had done previously. Using the 'influence' of this son-in-law, not only did she pull out the biggest thorn in the Dragon Emperor's heart, she had also turned her precarious position into an unbreakable one. The Dragons would also become more united. This was a win-win situation, worthy of the highest elder who had been in charge of the Council of Elders for many years.
"Great Elder, I'll leave the negotiations with Richard to you. I trust you will bring me results that will satisfy me. "A crafty glint flashed past Palgoris's eyes.
"Your Majesty, this … doesn't seem a little unkind." Chen Rui's expression froze. Meria was not Rolla, and it was clear from her insistence on returning to Saint Peak that the responsibility and interests of her people were important to her. The problem was that with his mother-in-law around, it would be difficult for him to bargain with her. How was he supposed to bargain?
"Meria is the number one person in the Dragons after the Dragon Emperor, do you think she cannot represent me?" Palgoris's smile seemed to have the potential of an unscrupulous businessman in Chen Rui's eyes.
"Err … Of course not! Aunt Meria is definitely qualified! " Chen Rui changed the topic, "By the way, let me first apologize to Your Majesty. When I was negotiating with Elder Stanwil, our words were a little harsh. Both of us are at the age of youth, and in the end …"
The elders of the Dragons were speechless. It's fine if you're young and vigorous, but Stanwil is tens of thousands of years old, what's the point of being 'young and vigorous'?
"If there's a need, you can talk to him again." His Majesty the Dragon Emperor's serious reply made the elders even more speechless. "Even if you really want to call him brother-in-law, you can. His sister Loraine is a famous beauty in the Dragons, I can introduce her to you."
This time it was Chen Rui who was speechless. He finally understood that whether it was the Demon Realm or the human world, the Dragons were all thick-skinned, especially the thick-skinned ones. It was fine to send his mother-in-law to negotiate previously, but now he was actually pimping him in front of his wife.
Feeling the sharp gazes of Rolla, Isabella, Meria and Spann, Chen Rui wiped the sweat on his forehead and changed the topic again, "Someone said earlier that Rolla is not suitable to marry anyone other than the Dragons?"
"Who said that?" Palgoris said angrily, "You will have your wedding tomorrow! From now on, you will be the son-in-law of Ryūzoku. Who dares to provoke you? "
Chen Rui was speechless.
Chen Rui thought about it and pointed to his aunt, "This is Miss Isabella, also my wife."
"No problem! The three of you will have your wedding together! I will be your witness! " Palgoris suddenly showed a strange smile, "For Dragons, there is no difference between Demons and humans, only friends and enemies. And I can guarantee that all the elders present, including your future brother-in-law, will not say anything unnecessary to anyone. "
Palgoris really saw through Isabella's identity! Chen Rui's heart skipped a beat.
"Actually, your wife's way of concealing her aura is extremely clever. If not for the Saint-dragon's extremely sensitive to dark aura, it would almost be impossible to detect any traces. How about this, I will give her a piece of Pseudo-God Holy Scale, which can change her appearance and hide her dark aura, so that even a Pseudo-God can't see through it. And … if she can completely integrate the power of the Holy Spirit in the scale, advancing to the Kingdom will not be a problem. "
A silver scale appeared in Isabella's hand, glowing with a sparkling and translucent light. As soon as the scale touched her hand, it turned into a mark and sank into Isabella's forehead. A sparkling and translucent mole appeared between her eyebrows, giving her a unique charm.
The Saint-dragon's Holy Scale was extremely rare, equivalent to the essence of power, and could halve the damage of ordinary light magic. For Isabella, who had already absorbed the Snow Dallet Flower, it would undoubtedly be twice the result with half the effort. Palgoris's favor was a little too much.
"Any other requests?" His Majesty the Dragon Emperor smiled at Chen Rui, "I will try my best to satisfy you, but whether it is brother-in-law, the wedding, or the Holy Scale, the Dragons have put in a lot of effort and shown sufficient sincerity. Cooperation is two-sided, and so is sincerity. I believe that Sir Richard will have something to say in the negotiations with the Great Elders later."
Chen Rui secretly cursed. Sincerity your ass. Except for the Holy Scale, the wedding is just a formality. As for brother-in-law … Forget it, I don't want him.
"If you have no other requests, then I have a more personal question to ask." Palgoris's gaze fell on Paglio.
"This … should be the poison dragon right? May I ask, is he also from the same place as Miss Isabella?"
"Yes, this is my brother, Paglio." Anyway, Isabella had been exposed, so Chen Rui simply spoke frankly.
"Poison dragon … and the poison dragon of the Demon Realm …"
As soon as these words came out, several senior elders also seemed to think of something, and they showed a strange expression.
Palgoris's strange gaze gave Master Poison Dragon goosebumps. Just when Chen Rui was worried about the dead duck dragon's anus, the Dragon Emperor suddenly threw something.
"Pick it up and try."
