At first, Charles thought Elizabeth was scaring him by driving the boat towards the rocks, but when he saw the bow of the ship in front of him shatter on the rocks, he knew that this time it was really going to crash.

A lot of things popped up in his mind.

Charles had the privilege of watching the birth of the "Cult of Weightlessness" in his previous life, and at this time, a question related to the Cult of God arose in his mind: when the ship crashed into the rock, could he jump backwards while sitting on the bow of the boat to avoid the fate of crashing into the rock.

After Charles's personal experience, he could pat his chest and say, "Jumping backwards can really get away with it." [Note]

It was just Charles' jump that Elizabeth, who was about to grab him and jump to the top of the rock, reached out and grabbed it.

Elizabeth, who was standing on the edge of the top of the rock, looked at Charles on the side of the rock and shook her head.

Fortunately, the rock was not smooth, and Charles had to climb to the top of the rock with a lot of effort.

When Charles climbed the rock, he found that Elizabeth was not the only one watching him, and there was a young girl in a long dress beside him.

The girl in the long skirt was about the age of a high school student, wearing a long red dress, a white long-sleeved shirt embroidered with black lace, and a pair of black sharp horns sticking out of her short red hair.

Charles noticed that the horns on her head were as straight and sharp as spring shoots, not with a bend like the demons he had seen. The most important thing is that her pupils are erect.

The red-haired girl saluted the two of them, and then said, "At the behest of the President, Laika is here to greet Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth and this distinguished guest. ”

Elizabeth said to her, "Thank you, Laika. ”

At this time, Charles noticed a huge basket not far from the rock, which gave him a bad feeling.

Laika took a few steps back, then spun in circles.

As Laika's body rotated, the clothes on her body gradually faded, and the wonderful figure of the young girl gradually appeared in front of Charles, and finally ...... a "bang", a puff of white smoke came out of Laika's body.

The white smoke cleared, and a red dragon appeared in front of Charles and Elizabeth.

Charles, who had seen the dragon for the first time, was curious about the girl dragon with red scales, eight meters long, and more than one story tall.

Laika didn't care about the good eyes of the little boy in the mask, she had seen a lot of them. Compared to the lustful, greedy, and fearful gazes that some people looked at her, this little boy was a pure white lotus.

Elizabeth pulled Charles to a basket not far away, picked him up and threw him into it, and then jumped in herself.

Now Charles already knows what this basket with a length of about two meters and a width of about one and a half meters on the sides and two chairs in it does.

At Elizabeth's reminder, Charles changed into the thick winter clothes that had been prepared for a long time. Leather boots, leather pants, a furry hat, and a pair of gloves armed Charles. Elizabeth herself put on a thick cloak.

At the same time, several ropes are hung on the side walls of the basket, which are safety ropes for guests.

Laika's claws grabbed the rope of the basket and flew into the sky, towards the Icecrown Mountains to the north.

The basket, which was a little taller than Charles, could not stop the curious fellow, and he moved the chair to the edge of the basket, and when he stepped on it, he could stretch out half of his body.

As the sun set, golden mountains appeared in front of Charles, and the dark green sea of trees had been left behind them.

With a mask in the way, Charles was not afraid of the cold wind in the sky, and when he took a look at the scenery on the ground, he suddenly found that he seemed to be a little hypoxic. Now he sat down honestly in his chair.

When it was dark, Laika said to Charles below, "Distinguished guests, we are about to arrive. ”

Laika's voice in the form of a dragon is a little deep, but at the same time full of majesty.

Then Charles stepped on his chair again and looked out, and he saw a brightly lit spot in the mountains ahead.

It was a terrace lower than the surrounding peaks, and in the middle of the flat summit was a majestic palace-like building, with many windows shining in the light.

Around the palace, nine complexes are evenly distributed, each consisting of three small fortress-like buildings distributed in a triangular pattern. These nine groups of twenty-seven forts surround and guard the central palace.

Laika placed the basket containing Charles and Elizabeth in the square in front of the palace, and by the time Charles and the others came out of the basket, she had changed back into her human form and stood quietly behind them.

Charles takes a closer look at the main building, which contains part of the Greek Parthenon and Roman Pantheon styles. It looks like a miniature version of the U.S. Capitol, but a statue of a dragon is placed above each of the eight pillars on its façade. At the top of the circular central roof is a statue of a dragon leaning over every visitor in front of the gate. Illuminated by the decorative lights on the rooftop, Charles recognized the dragon. While it was still in the sky, Charles saw a complex of buildings behind the main building, just as he had replaced one side of the Pentagon with the Capitol.

When Elizabeth led Charles up the steps, Charles suddenly noticed that Elizabeth had very few words today, and barely spoke.

When Charles walked up the steps, he found three large golden letters carved on the door of the main building. He vaguely recognized that it was dragon script, but he didn't recognize what it was.

So Charles asked Laika behind him, "Miss Laika, what does the word mean by that?"

Laika replied, "This is the name of this palace, and this palace is called 'Weilong Palace'. ”

Charles was shocked, and then asked, "Could it be that the Dragon King lives here?"

Laika smiled and shook her head, "There are no dragon kings in the dragon clan, but the words of the adults who live here are more useful than the dragon kings. ”

Between questions and answers, the group walked into the Weilong Palace.

Behind the gate is a palatial rotunda. The walls of the hall are all made of marble, and the walls are inlaid with carvings on the theme of dragons. The floor is covered with dozens of large leather rugs stitched with black monster skins, which are warm and soft to step on. A total of eight crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling painted with beautiful frescoes, the largest of which hangs directly from the top of the circular dome, and seven crystal lamps hang around it at the lower end of the dome, shining with dazzling light. On the wall opposite the gate is a huge mural of a blue dragon standing on the top of a snow-capped mountain with its wings cocked, clutching the boulder at the top of the mountain with its claws, and looking down at the mountain with ferocity. On either side of the fresco is a staircase carved out of white white marble, and the handrails of the staircase are made of gold.

As soon as he entered the hall, Charles found that the temperature here was much higher than outside, about twenty-seven or eight degrees, which made beads of sweat begin to appear on the head of Charles, who was wearing a thick leather coat.

Led by Laika, the two guests came to a small room on the left side of the hall. It was a dressing room, where Charles and Elizabeth took off their coats and the adventurer outfits inside, and changed into the dresses that had been prepared for a long time.

After the two dressed up, Laika took them to a house on the first floor of the wing.

Here, there is already a graceful and luxurious middle-aged lady waiting for the guests. The owner of the room was wearing a light blue dress, and a pair of long sharp horns protruded from the long blue hair like a waterfall. She was taller (not counting the horns) than Elizabeth, and had a loving expression on her unpowdered face. At the same time, Charles saw the "Mount Everest" so far.

As soon as Elizabeth entered the door, she shouted in a cheerful voice, "Aunt Lef, I've come to play with you!"

Lady Leif took Elizabeth's hands and said to her gently, "Little Baibai, you haven't come to play with me for some years, and I heard that you brought someone who can surprise me today?"

Elizabeth's face blushed when Charles heard the noblewoman dragon call out Elizabeth's nickname.

Charles, who was finally holding back a smile, suddenly found himself being targeted by Ms. Lef, and the smile on her face grew stronger as she looked at herself.

"You're committing a crime!" said Lady Lef, quipping Elizabeth with a little comical presumption, "I'm going to inform your gendarmerie." ”

Elizabeth was embarrassed, her coquettish little fist slammed into Lady Lef's shoulder, "He's just my student now, and if I think he's qualified, I'll take him as a disciple." ”

Lady Leif didn't react to Elizabeth's coquettish fists at first, but when she said she was going to take the little boy as a disciple, the expression on her face became serious. She asked, "Are you serious, Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth?"

Elizabeth also put away her coquettish face to her elders and replied, "Yes." If he can go through the final test, I will take him as a disciple. ”

"It's good that you make up your mind. After that, Ms. Leif came up to Charles, smiled and asked, "What's your name, lucky little one?"

Charles bowed to Lady Leif and replied, "It's an honor to meet you, Lady Lef." My name is Charles McGardenen. ”

Then Lady Leif's face changed suddenly, she looked at Elizabeth, and asked, "Is that McCaden?"

Elizabeth smiled and nodded.

Lady Leif's face suddenly turned cold, and she sneered and said to Elizabeth, "Little Baibai, you really gave me a big surprise!"
