104 Elliot and the Dragon (Part I)

As the Demon King, Elliot has many things to worry about every day.

Although he has left most of the things to Prime Minister Angelo, there are many things that must be handled by himself. For example, today he is going to meet with an envoy from the dragons.

The dragons are the most powerful race in the Demon Realm, they are entrenched in the western part of the Demon Realm, although nominally, the area where the Dragons live still belongs to the realm established by the Demon King, but in fact, the Dragons do this only for convenience. The Demon King also knows this, and no Demon King will naively think that he can use this to manipulate the Dragon Clan.

In any case, the dragon clan and the demon king clan have always been friendly, and there have been several marriages between the two sides, once there is something wrong in the demon king's kingdom, when you want to ask the dragon for help, the dragon clan is often willing to provide some help to the demon king. But the envoy of the dragon clan came to the royal capital Lucifer after all, it was still a rare thing, and it needed to be treated cautiously by the demon king.

Dragons are large in size, so when they come to a city inhabited by ordinary demons, they will not appear in their original form. Instead, it transforms into a human-like form. The dragon envoy who came this time was a young girl, her hair was silver, her skin was shining, and her whole body had a rare charm. As you can imagine, her original form must have been a beautiful silver dragon. However, despite her beautiful appearance, her actual age may be hundreds of years old, the age of the dragon is the longest of all the demons, and among the dragon clan, the hundred-year-old female dragon is still quite young.

This special guest caused a lot of discussion among the attendants in the Demon King's Palace, and some people said that the dragon clan sent such a beautiful messenger, apparently wanting to marry His Majesty the Demon King, and I wonder if His Majesty the fastidious Demon King will be impressed by this beauty. Some of the more cautious attendants would warn the other attendants to be cautious in their words and actions, because His Majesty's fiancΓ©e, Queen Isaiah from the human realm, was living in the Demon King's palace at this time, and if she was upset to hear such meaningless gossip, I am afraid that everyone would be unlucky.

The silver dragon didn't know what they were talking about, the dragons were arrogant demons, so she didn't pay attention to the attendants who were whispering on the sidelines. Her demeanor was very arrogant, and it was not until Elliot appeared that she showed a little respect, and bowed her head to greet him:

"Your Majesty the Demon King, hello. ”

Eliot nodded to her, asking her not to be restrained, and the dragon messenger told her what he had come to do:

"Your Majesty should know that according to the custom of our dragon clan, unmarried dragons are to live outside the territory and accumulate wealth in order to prepare for marriage. Normally, it takes nearly a hundred years for a dragon to have a mental breakdown. But in the last decade, three dragons have had a nervous breakdown. This is obviously too abnormal. We dragons want to investigate this, but most of the adult dragons who are qualified to investigate have not been to the outside world for nearly a hundred years, and they don't know as much about the situation as the demons living in the outside world, so we hope that the demon king can help us investigate this matter and provide us with a reasonable answer. ”

The "dragon mental breakdown" incident mentioned by the silver dragon is what the general demon clan calls the dragon disaster. The Demon King has experienced the dragon plague and understands the severity of the dragon plague. At this point, the interests of the Demon King and the Dragon Clan coincide. Therefore, without thinking too much, he made a promise to Yinlong, saying that he would definitely investigate the matter thoroughly.

Silver Dragon expressed satisfaction with the Demon King's attitude. She proposes to the Demon King that she will stay in the Liby Hotel in the Demon King's Palace until the matter is resolved. When Elliot agreed, the silver dragon nodded to him and withdrew. This was the way the dragons did things, and she knew that her staying here would put pressure on the Demon King and prompt the matter to be resolved as soon as possible.

The Demon King Elliot sent off the envoy of the dragon clan, feeling a little tired. The pressure of the dragon clan is very strong, and it is even more aura when negotiating, and Elliot, as the demon king, must fight with a hundred and twenty points of spirit. It was only a few short lines of dialogue, but Elliot felt more tired than fighting. Just as Elliot was about to leave the Audience Hall to rest for a while, he saw his fiancΓ©e, Queen Isaiah of the Human World, standing in the doorway of the Audience Hall with a smile.

Elliot had no idea about the bad rumors circulating in the Demon King's Palace, so he didn't know why Isaiah was here at this time. He walked quickly to the door, smiled and asked her:

"Why are you here?"

Isaiah also laughed:

"I've heard that a dragon beauty is coming here to marry you, so I'm going to come and see how beautiful she is. ”

There was a hint of jealousy in Isaiah's voice, and Elliot wanted to explain it to Isaiah. But when he saw Isaiah's expression, he changed his mind and laughed:

"That Miss Silver Dragon just left, have you seen her? ”

Eliot's flirtatious response did not please Isaiah, and she pursed her lips lightly and asked him:

"She's really here to get married?"

"If I say yes, what are you going to do?"

"I don't really care what she's up to. Isaiah looked into Elliot's eyes, "I just want to know what you think." ”

"It's not up to me to have the final say. Elliot made a serious appearance, "The dragons have a lot of self-esteem, and if they refuse their request, they may be seen as an offense by the dragons, and it will definitely cause a large-scale war." If that's the case, you're in big trouble. ”

"But you'll refuse, won't you?"

Her tone was firm, but her face was a little pale, as if she was afraid that he would give an answer that did not match her expectations. Her appearance made him feel guilty, and he felt as if he shouldn't have tried her so much, and shook his head at her with a smile:

"Do you really believe the nonsense from the squad leader's tongue attendant? She's not here to marry. There have been a lot of dragon disasters lately, and she's here to get us to send someone to find out what's going on. ”

Isaiah's expression, however, did not change much. She still pursed her lips tightly:

"But...... What if she really came to get married? Would you say yes?"

Isaiah's words hurt Elliot a little.

"You should trust me a little more. "Even if she had such a plan, I wouldn't have agreed." I don't like women other than you. ”

Isaiah's expression softened:

"Really?"

"Really. Elliot vouched, "I only like you. ”

Eliot's words are always easy to be believed, and Isaiah no longer dwells on them, but asks:

"That Miss Silver Dragon, that messenger, how long is she going to stay here?"

Elliot shrugged:

"I don't know, I guess, she'll be gone when the problem is solved. ”

"And when will the problem be solved?" Isaiah looked up at him, looking very cute, "I don't want her to stay with you all the time." ”

Elliot smiled unconsciously:

"If someone is sent to investigate, God knows how long they will drag. If you like, you can come with me to investigate the dragon. We can travel together, just like we used to. ”

This proposal did appeal to Isaiah, but she was always a very responsible king. She frowned:

"If we set off together on a trip, what about the state affairs?"

"It's all up to Angelo, rest assured, he's the best at dealing with this, even if you leave all the affairs of the two countries to him, it's no problem at all. ”

Elliot was quite confident in Angelo's abilities, and Isaiah dispelled his doubts and decided to set off with him.

Yinlong was very happy to see that the Demon King attached so much importance to this matter. Before they could leave, the silver dragon handed Elliot a map showing the dwellings of the three dragons who had died in the last ten years, as well as the caves where the other dragons had lived nearby.

"We dragons have always required members who live outside of our realm to report regularly on where they live. "But we haven't checked it since the accident - dragons don't like to go into the caves of other kinds, and the smell of their kindred makes us feel uncomfortable. Since you are going to investigate, please go to the cave where they lived before you to check the situation. This map is very important, so please don't let anyone else see it. ”

Elliot made a solemn promise to the silver dragon and kept the map tightly on his body. The squires helped them pack their bags, and Elliot and Isaiah mounted their griffons and set off.

The first cave they would explore was the lair of the dragon they had killed near the city of Cecilian. There were no mountains nearby, so the dragon lived in a large, hidden underground cavern. Despite the map, it took them a long time to find the location of the crypt.

"You've never seen dragons dwell in crypts before, have you?" Elliot asked Isaiah, "Dragons hide a great deal of wealth in their caves, and the amount of treasure in their caves is often greater than the treasury of a nation. Today we have the privilege of seeing such a spectacle, and it will be an interesting experience. ”

With that, he went with Isaiah into the dragon's crypt.

Before entering the real cave, they walk through a narrow passage. The passage was very dry, but it was dark. Elliot summoned a magical orb of light that floated in front of him, illuminating his path. The owner of the cave has been dead for a long time, but the air is still filled with the smell of a dragon. If an ordinary person walks in this passage, he may be scared and his legs will be weak. However, Elliot and Isaiah are not ordinary people, they have once slain dragons together, and their steps are steady and powerful.

After walking through this passage, they finally reached the main part of the cavern, which was a very spacious hall, larger than the largest hall in Eliot's palace. But the two of them didn't pay much attention to how big the hall was...... Because the scene in front of them had already stunned the two of them.
