In this world, which was close to the background of ancient Europe, the hierarchy between nobles and civilians was very strict.
The royal family and the nobles naturally placed themselves in a higher position, looking down and despising civilians and adventurers. Even the strongest adventurers had to be respectful to the nobles and the royal family in their eyes.
For the nobles, civilians were property that they could use at will. Even if they died, they didn't care and didn't need to give the slightest care.
For the royal family, they were the people that adventurers should serve. All adventurers should bow down to the king and follow the king's orders.
They had long been used to this way of handling things.
It was only natural for them to view others as inferior people and treat them as subordinates. Anything he gave them was a generous gift and should be gratefully accepted.
If the target was the demi-humans, they would directly treat them as slaves. It wouldn't be strange to beat and abuse them at will.
This was a world with an extremely strict hierarchy. Status determined everything.
Nobles like Agrid's father, who were willing to protect the demi-humans and fight for the residents of the territory, were in the minority. Most of the nobles thought highly of themselves and looked down on all the lower classes.
This king seemed to be the same.
He might have recognized the value of Ryuga and knew that a high-level magician who raised a pure-blood dragon was a very rare talent, but that was it.
He didn't have the slightest respect for Ryuga. Like other adventurers, he still thought that what he gave was a gift and that the other party should accept it as a matter of course and become his subject, contributing his strength to the king and the kingdom.
Of course, whether he had respect for Ryuga or not, Ryuga herself didn't care at all.
"I will accept the money, but I don't need to become a court magician. I don't need the territory or the title."
Ryuga naturally refused the king's reward and said indifferently, "Just give me the right to enter and exit the kingdom's library at will. By the way, buy me a house near the library."
His attitude was also very natural.
He didn't take the so-called king and nobles seriously and even took the initiative to ask for other rewards.
"How dare you!"
"What kind of tone are you using to talk to the king?"
"Who do you think you are?!"
Before the king could speak, his ministers could no longer sit still. They all stood up to criticize Ryuga's attitude, as if they could not wait to show their loyalty to the king.
"Adventurer, I am the king of Merlomag."
The king's expression was also a little unsightly. He immediately opened his mouth in anger, as if he wanted to show off his might.
"Boom —!!!"
But in the next moment, a loud noise suddenly sounded above the main hall.
All of a sudden, the entire roof of the main hall was lifted off by a huge force. A large hole immediately appeared above their heads, as if a huge skylight had been opened.
"Crack —"
Pieces of bricks and rubble of different sizes, as well as fine dust and lime, fell from the roof and sprinkled to the ground.
Above the huge skylight, there was a huge skylight.
A head the size of a house stretched out from there. Its emerald green skin was inlaid with hard scales. Its two horns flashed with an amber luster. Its pale golden vertical pupils were filled with hostility as it looked down at the king and nobles below. Its mouth let out a long and violent breath.
At this moment, the king and nobles who faced the majesty of the giant dragon were all silent. They all swallowed their words of criticism back into their stomachs. Each of them was like a criminal facing the execution ground. Their faces were full of horror.
The Four Saints who had just been summoned looked up at the giant dragon's head in a daze.
They rarely even saw wild beasts in the modern era. Suddenly seeing the incomparably huge Flying Dragon, under the extreme shock, even their thinking ability was completely taken away.
"I'm sorry, my dragon doesn't seem to be willing to join your country."
Ryuga looked around the room. There was not the slightest smile on her face. "He is my best partner after all. I have to respect his thoughts. I wonder if the king has any opinions?"
Under the terrible pressure exuded by the giant dragon, the king was completely paralyzed in his chair. Under the threat of a fatal crisis, even his body was instinctively trembling.
He subconsciously looked down at the crowd of officials below, but only saw an empty space.
The officials saw that the situation was not good and all of them fled. Some hid at the edge of the wall, some escaped under the curtains, and some simply ran out of the back door.
The king's eyes twitched.
These officials originally took the initiative to come over after knowing that he had obtained the power to govern the internal affairs of the country. Each of them was very flattering and none of them were loyal. Originally, he had gathered some forces, but immediately after this incident, this force was likely to be disbanded soon.
"Should … should, should respect … his opinion …"
Helplessly, the king almost choked and used an extremely sullen tone to spit out this sentence.
"Then, is my request normal?"
Ryuga continued to smile at the king without the slightest hint of a smile.
The giant Flying Dragon did not have the slightest intention of moving. It even took a step forward and looked down at the king with its ferocious eyes.
"Normal … normal …"
The king's old face was red and his body trembled. It took him a lot of effort to say the answer softly.
"I can't hear you."
Ryuga said softly. "How can you be a king with such a soft voice? Don't you know how to speak loudly? "
"Gu wu … normal!"
The king made a difficult sound from his throat. Several veins appeared on his hands that were squeezing the chair. He could barely suppress the anger in his heart.
But under the gaze of the giant dragon, the expression on his face quickly became dejected.
"Very normal! The right to enter the library, I … will give you. I will also pay for the money. I will choose the best house! "
The king finally gave up and agreed to all of Ryuga's requests.
After the king finally gave in.
The Knight Commander suddenly sighed. There was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
However, the king, who used to be high and mighty in his eyes, was now suppressed by this gigantic pure-blood dragon species. Having the same experience as him, he felt a subtle sense of pleasure.
Grey held her forehead in her hand.
Alright, there was no need for him to think about following the rules when he was by Lord Yin Yang's side.
Moreover, with Lord Yin Yang's extraordinary ability, this country, which was far from being considered powerful, did not have the capital for him to pledge his loyalty.
As for the Four Saint Heroes.
The moment the king gave in, they were all dumbfounded.
