The next day, in Ryūzoku.
A grand wedding was about to begin.
Although the preparation time was very rushed, it did not affect the grandeur of the wedding at all. Almost all the Dragons in Ryūzoku had rushed over.
This time, the wedding was personally presided over by His Majesty the Dragon Emperor Palgoris. The two daughters of Great Elder Merya were getting married. One was the Fairy Dragon Rolla who had once left Ryūzoku, and the other was Merya's new daughter called Isabella who seemed to be a human. What was even more surprising was that the groom, 'Richard', was actually also a human.
Although this' Richard 'was a human, he was an extraordinary powerhouse. The trial grounds of Storm Island, which had always been praised by the Dragons, was Richard's handiwork. The 'official' version of the trial called 'Endless Warrior Online' that was tried out at Rainbow Peak yesterday was a hundred times better than the original trial. Not only was there no danger, but it was also extremely interesting and challenging. Countless Dragons who had tried it were intoxicated, unable to put it down.
It was said that 'Richard' was going to popularize this type of trial in all of Ryūzoku. At that time, every dragon would be able to participate in 'Endless Warrior Online'. Just this alone was enough to make all the Dragons cheer.
This was not the only major event that happened yesterday. Great Elder Merya, who had originally been expected to step down or even be expelled, regained the unanimous support of the Dragon Emperor Palgoris and the other elders. On the other hand, the most popular Elder Stanwil not only gained nothing, but also suffered a crushing defeat in a 'spar' with the son-in-law of the Great Elder, 'Richard', causing him to lose all face.
Although it was a spar, in reality, he was beaten up in front of all the Dragons who had participated in the trial. Stanwil, who had the strength of a demigod, could not even fight back against 'Richard'. Richard's strength was evident. It seemed that it was not a coincidence that the Golden Dragon Elder Meroskia and the Red Dragon Elder Rutholla lost to this human on Storm Island. He must have been holding back.
Due to time constraints, a lot of red tape was spared for the wedding. However, Ryūzoku's traditional 'test' for the groom was unavoidable. If he could not pass the test, he would have to pay a considerable amount of money to every Dragons who participated in the wedding. Otherwise, he would not be able to go to the bride's side to complete the wedding. In front of Chen Rui was the Dragons' favourite test – the 'Scale of Wealth'.
The Scale of Wealth was actually a divine artifact of the Dragons with a long history. It did not have any lethality or defensive power, its only use was to measure wealth and value.
The core of the 'Scale of Wealth' test was the 'Battle of Wealth'. The Dragons would choose a representative, and the groom would each take out a corresponding number of treasures and place them on the divine scale to measure. If the groom won, he would get all the wealth the other party had taken out, and all the gifts from the Dragons who participated in the wedding would be doubled. If the other party won, the groom's wealth would belong to the other party, and all the gifts given by the Dragons would be returned, plus double the gifts. This meant that if he won, he would get double the amount, and if he lost, he would have to pay double the amount.
The representative who participated in the competition was usually the loser of the bride's pursuit. Although their relationship was a failure, they could win wealth as compensation. Generally speaking, this' representative 'who had been holding back would throw everything into the competition, and the groom's chances of winning were very small. Back then, when Spann and Meria got married, the representative they encountered was Meria's biggest pursuer, Groas. In the end, Spann lost miserably. Not only did the father-in-law of the Elf King lose all his wealth on the Scale of Wealth, but he also had to pay double the gifts to all the Dragons who were present, and he almost lost all his underwear. This was also one of the reasons why the father-in-law had been holding a grudge against Groas.
The Dragons were all financial experts, in other words, they were misers. However, they would naturally not miss such a good opportunity to earn more money by betting more. Furthermore, if they failed the test, they would have to pay an additional ransom, which was definitely a huge windfall. Therefore, all the Dragons gave out large amounts of gifts as if they were injected with stimulants.
The representative who appeared this time was a little unexpected. It was not Karlu, who had escaped from Rolla's marriage, but Stanwil, the loser of the Elder Assembly. However, Stanwil was ruthlessly beaten up by the humans yesterday, so it was reasonable that he wanted to use the wedding to 'take revenge' today. He couldn't beat them, but if he could win all the wealth of the humans, he could vent his anger.
Dragons had a very long lifespan, and it was not an exaggeration to say that the wealth they had accumulated was comparable to that of a country. Moreover, it was an elder like Stanwil, so everyone was confident that Stanwil could win.
Even Meria and Spann didn't know about Stanwil's appearance beforehand. The couple was shocked, and they knew that things were not going well.
The appearance of the Scale of Wealth was a huge scale with a height of three meters. In fact, both of the trays were Space Doors, which could accommodate the maximum amount of wealth. There were equipment, treasures, coins, and so on, which could only be counted outside of the Space Ring. After both parties entered the space of the tray, the Scale of Wealth would show the wealth value of the treasures presented by both parties for comparison. The time limit was ten minutes, and the things taken out could not be taken back. Although the treasures were not directly shown to outsiders during the whole process, the fairness of the Scale of Wealth was absolute. The wealth of the party who lost in the end would automatically fall into the space of the other party.
Under the fervent gaze of the Dragons, Chen Rui and Stanwil flew onto the tray of the Scale of Wealth and disappeared.
However, the tray on Stanwil's side began to glow, and the color that represented his wealth value also began to change, from green to blue, then from blue to purple … and finally to a dazzling gold. The Scale of Wealth was completely tilted towards Stanwil's side.
The Dragons let out gasps of surprise. Everyone knew what this color represented. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Stanwil had gone bankrupt. It seemed that this Lord Elder who had been humiliated yesterday had lived up to everyone's expectations.
At this moment, there was a commotion among the Dragons, because the Scale of Wealth had moved again, and it was actually leaning towards Chen Rui's side. Everyone saw that the tray had turned into the color of the rainbow, and this was a color that they had never seen before!
The two parties in the space could see each other's Scale of Wealth, and this scene gave Stanwil a shock. According to the original bet agreement from yesterday, after he lost to Chen Rui, he should publicly apologize to Melia and compensate all his wealth. However, Dragon Emperor Palgoris intervened and avoided a public apology. Instead, he let Stanwil participate in the test of the Scale of Wealth as a representative. If Stanwil lost, he would have to pay all his wealth as a gift. If he won, he would receive a huge sum of money, and he would let Chen Rui pay all the Dragons' gift money to vent his anger. After all, Stanwil was a direct descendant of Palgoris, and the Dragon Emperor's method of balancing and appeasing was indeed very good.
Unfortunately, Stanwil, who was confident that he would definitely win today, was unexpectedly met with another tragic end.
Seeing the rainbow light, Stanwil's face twitched. He gritted his teeth, and a golden ring appeared in his hand. The bright gold of the Scale of Wealth immediately turned dark gold, causing the Dragons to gasp in surprise again. However, this time, the dragons gasped in surprise because even though Stanwil's Scale of Wealth had turned dark gold, the entire Scale of Wealth was still firmly leaning towards Chen Rui's side. It did not move at all.
Stanwil broke out in a cold sweat. With trembling hands, he took out two more silver machetes. The dark gold of the Scale of Wealth became a little more intense, but the tilt did not change.
This result made Stanwil feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He stood there in a daze, not even noticing the flashing warning of ten minutes. It was only when the time was up that the Saint-dragon Elder, who had been teleported out, came to his senses. Looking at his empty hands, he felt the world spin around him. His vision went black, and he actually fainted.
In the space on the other side, Chen Rui looked at the sea of coins, antiques, and wealth around him, and he couldn't stop smiling. He quickly used the storage warehouse to collect them one by one.
In fact, Chen Rui didn't do much. He just took out the God-Eating Mask, Sword of Fallen Angel, Angry King Armor, and Demon Shield. As soon as he saw the rainbow light and the tilt of the Scale of Wealth, Chen Rui, who originally planned to throw the Tower of Glory, immediately calmed down. Although these things looked like quasi-artifact on the surface, they were the parts of a certain legendary supreme artifact. The value contained in them was really immeasurable.
As a senior elder of the Dragons, Stanwil's wealth must be extremely rich. Even if he lost the things he took out, the other party wouldn't be able to take them away. At most, he would just have to pay some gift money.
Seeing the human walking out of the Scale of Wealth with a smile, all the Dragons' eyes were a little green. This guy actually won all of Stanwil's money. Now everyone has to pay double the gift money!
Meria and Span naturally laughed from ear to ear, especially the father-in-law of the Elf King. His son-in-law could be said to be proud and elated this time. He was much stronger than him back then.
The next test was a girl. This girl was delicate and beautiful, but she looked bitter and hateful. She was Stanwil's sister, Loraine.
Chen Rui could fully understand the anger of this girl. Whether it was winning all of her brother Stanwil's property just now or the title of "brother-in-law" that had been quietly spread by the Dragons previously, there were sufficient reasons for the girl Loraine to gnash her teeth.
The girl Loraine knew that even her brother's Demi-God-level strength was not this human's opponent, so she calmly chose the skill she was best at – The ancient magic card < < Fate Duel > >.
The result was naturally a tragedy for both brother and sister.
Under the watchful eyes of Rolla and Isabella in the distance, Chen Rui did not dare to be lenient. Within ten minutes, he used rapid attack tactics to beat the girl Loraine three times in a row, almost instantly killing the poor Saint-dragon girl. He passed the test without any entanglement or flirting.
The last test was dramatic. The one who came out was the biggest "victim" of this wedding, Karlu, who was engaged to Rolla back then.
"That … Lord Richard, I … I …"
Looking at the timid "beautiful" trap, Chen Rui had a feeling that he had nowhere to exert his power. This level will probably be very difficult. What should I compete in? Embroidery? Needlework? What a scam …
Karlu was just about to say something when the fairy Miss Long behind him seemed to cough softly.
The trap's originally tense nerves seemed to be flicked by someone. She immediately shivered and spoke several times more smoothly, "Lord Richard, I have no problems here!"
"Thank you." Chen Rui secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"No, no, no! I'm the one thanking you. "The trap looked back fearfully and said sincerely.
Are you thanking me for marrying the fairy Miss Long and saving you from the abyss of suffering?
Just how much of a shadow did my baby Rolla leave in the depths of this child's heart back then …
Chen Rui flashed a friendly smile at Karlu, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and walked forward.
"You … You're a good man."
The trap's good man card that flew over from behind made Chen Rui 'body tremble, while a certain "Master! Good man! Really — heart — handsome! "cheers almost made him fall over. He took a deep breath and finally steadied his body, walking up to the ceremonial stage.
Today, Rolla and Isabella were both dressed in the traditional clothes of the Dragons, looking elegant and luxurious, their faces exceptionally moving.
Chen Rui bowed to Meria and Spann, took the hands of the two brides, and walked towards Palgoris.
As the witness of the wedding, the Dragon Emperor looked at the three newlyweds walking over arm in arm. His gaze swept past a certain poison dragon who had a "I don't know you" expression, and a knowing smile appeared on his face as he began to read the wedding vows.
