CH.31 Meet the Dragon King
"When I meet the Dragon King, I will naturally make a request to it, so there is no need to tell you now. Rest assured, I will not make unreasonable requests. Anrui replied.
"Okay. For the sake of your generous gifts, I have ordered you to be brought over to meet the Dragon King, hoping that your gifts will please his old man. The holy white dragon turned his head and called a giant dragon with a dragon roar to help lead the way. It also has to hunt down the vanished Bertrand, so it can't be separated.
Iragon also asked to see the dragon king, and was brought with him. He and An Rui went separately, but they didn't expect to get together later.
With the dragons sent by the five dragon officials leading the way in front, things went much smoother, and the road was unimpeded, and no dragons came to harass them. Dressed in stars and moons, they walked through the valley and came all the way to the very center of the valley. The environment here has changed significantly, and there are many more excavated stone platforms and caves. The stone platform is where the dragons eat or work, and the stone cave is their bedroom, and sometimes you can see the dragon's head poking in and out of the hole.
I don't know which ingenious dragon clan made a carving on the mountains on both sides of the valley, carving two stone dragons, like guards in the valley, maintaining a sitting posture, looking up at the sky, looking quite domineering. In front of the two statues, there was a stone staircase, each about one hundred and fifty yards long and five yards wide, which was obviously a stone step for the dragons, too tall for humans. On both sides of the stone steps stand many stone pillars of different heights, some of which have been broken and damaged, and are not very well preserved. These stone pillars were obviously broken by the big guys of the dragons, and even the strongest buildings would become vulnerable in front of the dragons.
The number of stone steps is numerous. Stretching all the way on, you reach a huge palace carved out of a mountain, large enough to hold the largest dragon in the world. This shows how large the area is. The overall structure and decoration of the palace are all very simple and rude, giving people a very grand feeling, without the small family atmosphere of the pursuit of exquisite details in human palaces.
A palpitating dragon power emanated from the palace, covering a radius of more than ten miles, and the closer you got to the palace, the more terrifying the dragon power you felt. The weak would not wait to approach the palace before they would faint with the dragon threat coming from it. There is even a fear for his life.
The palace has a very simple name - Dragon Palace.
The world-famous Dragon King lives in the Dragon Palace.
An Rui has been tossing and turning in the Dragon Valley for so long, and finally came here, and he can see the Dragon King. The mood became extremely excited. The Dragon King is one of the most powerful dragons in the world, and the dragon pet that dragon warriors dream of, and after subduing the Dragon King, his strength will increase by leaps and bounds. One more step up!
And the benefits of submitting the Dragon King don't stop there. The Dragon King is the ruler of the Dragon Valley, and if he submits the Dragon King, he will have the Dragon Valley, and he can order the dragons in the Valley to do things when the time comes! This will be an invincible army of dragons, and few forces in the world can compete with this army. With the help of this army, it will be much easier to unify the New World or enter other seas.
An Rui took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart. so as not to affect the next action.
In fact, it is not only Anrui who is excited, but others are also excited. Almost all of the people who traveled with me were coming here for the first time, and many of them were dragon warriors who had been fascinated by this place for a long time, and when they came here today, they felt like they had come to a holy place.
In contrast, it was Eragon, the Dragon Castle Mentor, who reacted the most calmly, as he had been here several times. Dragonkeep is inextricably linked to Dragonnold, and it is easier and safer for the core members of Dragoncastle to come here.
Everyone passed through the long stone steps with various moods and came to the gate of the Dragon Palace, where they were blocked by a giant dragon guarding the door. The dragon who led the way communicated with the dragon guarding the door, and the dragon guarding the door turned around and entered the dragon palace, and went to meet the dragon king and report that someone had asked to see him.
"Let them in." There was a rumbling sound in the Dragon Palace, which shook the entire palace slightly.
After getting permission, everyone officially entered the Dragon Palace.
The structure of the entire Dragon Palace is relatively simple, consisting of several huge halls, each hall is connected by a stone gate, the main entrance is open all year round, and the stone gate inside is closed, and it will be opened one by one when someone passes. You have to pass through five stone doors to reach the deepest hall and see the true face of the dragon king.
Everyone entered the Dragon Palace, passed through the halls, and every time they walked to the door, the stone doors that were hundreds of yards high would automatically open. Judging from the scale of these stone gates, the unit of weight must be measured in tons. The closer they got to the depths, the stronger the dragon power everyone felt, and when they walked to the last door, someone's face turned white with fright, and they were shaking when they walked.
"Boom ......"
The last stone door slowly opened, revealing a gap at first, and then an entire hall gradually revealed. The hall was extremely simple, with mirror-smooth floors, a few stone pillars barely decorative, and nothing else fancy. Around the hall, there were a number of bookshelves, very high and leading to the roof, filled with dense books, sealed with magical enchantments to ensure that they were not clean.
The dignified dragon king was lying on the stone platform in the middle of the hall!
The Dragon King is about five hundred yards long, not the largest among the dragons, but it is large enough. It has a lizard-like body, but with an extra pair of dragon wings and an infinite number of times larger. It has a dark gold and dark blue body surface, with the upper part of the body being dark blue and the belly being dark gold. Sharp horns of various sizes were scattered throughout the massive body, with the thickest horns on the head and the most slender horns on the tail. It has membranous fins on its back, connected by bone around the edges and inside.
On its skin there were many glittering magic arrays, which had different effects, connected to each other, but not mutually exclusive. These magic arrays have been slowly engraved on the body over thousands of years, and each one is full of powerful power, and the mysteries in them cannot even be thoroughly deciphered by human wizards, and if they are rubbed, the value is incalculable.
On the top of the dragon king's head was a huge crown, which was not physical, but in the form of a flame, keeping the shape of the crown blazing. This crown is called the "Crown of Life" and has a very peculiar effect, making it one of the dragon king's favorite treasures. In addition to this treasure, there are several treasures hidden on the dragon king's body.
The dragon king slowly got up, flicked his tail twice, and opened his white eyes, staring at the tiny human who walked in with these pupilless eyes. Its gaze swept over everyone, and the people it saw all had a sense of crisis on their backs.
"Iragon...... And a group of visitors from faraway lands, you didn't come at the right time, just when there was chaos in the Dragon Valley. The dragon king spoke, and his voice echoed throughout the hall like a muffled hammer, hammering into everyone's ears.
"Your Majesty the Dragon King, Iragon of Dragoncastle greets you." Eragon bowed his head and bowed, looking humble.
Before it was time to do it, An Rui also led people to salute together to show respect.
"I'm in a bad mood right now, and I'm not interested in entertaining you, so I'll give you a minute each to say your request for coming here. Iragon, you speak first. The Dragon King ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Dragon King." Eragon responded, quickened his speech, and hurriedly said, "I came here this time to subdue the powerful dragon pet, the last time I came here to take away a dragon guard, this time, I want to dare to challenge a dragon officer." If I can defeat and subdue this dragon official, I hope that His Majesty the Dragon King will allow me to take it away. ”
The Dragon Fighting Tournament was about to take place, and Iragon was not completely sure of winning, so he thought of coming here to submit the Dragon Officer. His white feather dragon was originally the dragon guard here, and after his careful cultivation, he now has the strength close to the dragon official, but there is still a certain gap. If there is a real dragon official as the dragon pet, his hopes of winning the dragon fighting competition will be greatly increased.
There are two options for coming to Dragon Nest to submit the Dragon Officer, one is to attack the lone Dragon Officer directly, and submit and take him away after winning. There is also a way to salute first and then soldier, first come to see the dragon king to show his intentions, and then fight with the dragon official. Obviously, the second option is a bit safer.
There are only five dragon officials in the entire Dragon Valley, not only are they strong, but they have also accompanied the dragon king for many years, and it is risky to ask for this kind of request to take the dragon official, and it may anger the dragon king.
After saying his request, Iragon became much more nervous, and his eyes were fixed on the dragon king without blinking.
"Iragon, your ambition is really not small, and you even started the idea of the dragon official, why do you believe that I will agree to such an excessive request?" The Dragon King's eyes narrowed slightly, the white light in his eyes became brighter, and his tone of voice seemed a little displeased.
"Great Dragon King, my reasons are the same as last time, this will be a decent challenge. I came here with a generous gift, and I am willing to exchange this generous gift for a chance to challenge. If you can allow this challenge, and if any of the five dragon officers are willing to accept it, I will fight it here. If I win, I'll leave with a new dragon pet and glory, and if I lose, I'll leave the corpse here forever. Iragorn's tone was calm but firm.
"You used this rhetoric to convince me last time, and you want to use it again this time?"
"I'm not a man of good words, I stand here to talk to you with a sincere heart that demands the great power of the dragon clan and the courage to defy death, and I don't expect to rely on rhetoric to convince you."
"That's a pretty good attitude." The Dragon King's expression softened, "Take out the gift you brought and take a look, if I'm satisfied, I'll make an exception and give you a chance to challenge the Dragon Official." But I would like to state in advance that this is just a chance for you. If no dragon officer is willing to accept your challenge, you will have to go back the way you came, and leave the generous gift behind. (To be continued......)
