Chapter 55: The Bones of the Dragon Vein
As time passed, the noisy atmosphere of the main venue gradually subsided, and most of the guests found a place to sit down, and from the seats, they could clearly distinguish the intimacy of the major forces.
Although Su Yun could understand these divisions, he couldn't tell which district was the people of which force, so he could only ask Scar around him for advice one by one, and under Scar's introduction, Su Yun gradually understood the grievances and grievances of the major forces.
A dense sound of gongs and drums sounded on the stage in the distance, and soon, in the loud music, a group of spirit women in neon clothes stepped on the stage and danced, and the spotlight runes in the air began to flicker in different colors, rendering a lively scene in the silent night.
As the dance began, a table of wine and food was also served, all of which were high-stakes delicacies, some of which he didn't even know Scar, but without exception, they were all the most expensive and luxurious ingredients in the space-time sea.
There are specially farmed 100-year-old pure-water salmon from the pure water planet on the science and technology side, the spotted magic pig loin carefully selected on the magic side, and the roasted Quanpeng made of the rare nine-winged Peng bird on the Xiuzhen side. These dishes are exquisitely crafted and unforgettable.
Although all these things were purchased with Su Yun's money as capital, he still had a little opposition to such extravagance and waste from his psychology, but when he thought that this was the contribution he made for Zi, he felt that it was worth it.
To be able to hold such a huge birthday banquet for Zi, what is his own money, anyway, it doesn't take a few worlds to exceed, he can have so much money again.
The dance on the stage gradually came to an end, and at this time, a group of people wearing silver armor suddenly walked onto the stage.
Everyone looked at the people who walked on the stage in amazement, looking at these Rao servants, they should be soldiers of the Longkai clan.
Standing at the front of the queue were three princes of Longkai wearing golden armor, led by Wanhou Longkai.
Wan Hou first saluted the bottom of the stage, and then said loudly: "Today is Princess Luo Zi's birthday, I, Wan Hou Long Kai, on behalf of the Long Kai Empire, pay tribute to Aunt You, extend my most sincere wishes to Princess Luo Zi, and wish Sister Luo Zi all the best, all her wishes come true!" ”
When he spoke, there was a faint burst of dragon power, diffusing in the surrounding stands that had been silent, and the other two noble princes of Longkai standing behind him were expressionless, standing still, only Wan Hou was speaking with emotion.
"On Princess Luo Zi's birthday, I am here to give Princess Luo Zi a precious gift!"
Wan Hou said this, clapped his hands, and suddenly a huge box was brought up by a group of guards in silver armor.
This is an extremely delicately crafted chest, and the top of the box is engraved with several lifelike, flying golden dragons, and even the dragon scales and dragon claws are carved with great care.
There was a lot of talk in the stands, all discussing what was in this box.
Scar, who was also sitting in the stands, saw this box and couldn't help but say to Su Yun: "Brother Su, what do you think might be in this box?" It is worth spending so much effort to give it to Luo Zi at this time of great attention. ”
Su Yun frowned slightly, covered up his gloom with the action of drinking tea, and just said lightly: "I don't know." ”
He has a deep disgust for Wan Hou, although his relationship with purple has not yet been clarified, but for some reason, he has an unclear anti-blessing for this guy who tried to infect purple
That's why he doesn't mind being one of Purple's suitors to keep this pesky mosquito away.
Wan Hou slowly opened the box, and suddenly golden light came out of it, illuminating the dark night sky magnificently.
A bone bar made of pure gold slowly rose from the box, and there were circles of gorgeous lines growing on the bone bar, and there was no trace of post-carving, and a majestic dragon power that could not be seen by the naked eye spread from this bone bar, like a huge wave, wave after wave swept everything around!
This pure gold bone bar seems to be a backbone, which is spliced together by many bones, and the bone bar is slightly curved, like the backbone of a dragon, and many dragon phantoms can be faintly seen around this bone bar.
Such a huge and delicate box is actually just to hold such a backbone, and you can imagine the value of this backbone.
Ska, who was sitting next to Su Yun, exclaimed, "Dragon Vein Bone!" How dare you do this! ”
Wan Hou's gaze calmly swept over all the corners of the stands, after seeing this pure golden backbone, the audience was already in an uproar, and there was a lot of discussion, obviously, there are not many of these people here who don't know this backbone.
Su Yun hurriedly asked, "Brother Ska, what is the Dragon Vein Bone?" ”
Scar knew that Su Yun didn't know anything about the things in the sea of time and space, so he explained: "The bone of the dragon vein is a treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation of the Longkai family, it has existed in the ancient Chaos Era, and has been through the chaos war, and later in the pure cloud war, even the Longkai family has gone through several ups and downs, and almost extinguished the fire, but this dragon vein bone has been passed down!" ”
Su Yun said with a heavy face: "Oh? In this way, this dragon vein bone should be a very important thing for the Long Kai clan? Wouldn't it be ridiculous for Wan Hou to give away such a thing as a birthday gift! ”
Scar said: "It's indeed a bit ridiculous, this dragon vein bone is not just a symbolic thing, having him is indirectly equivalent to taking over the belief of the dragon kai clan, generally only the high priest of Long Kai has the right to take charge of the dragon vein bone!" ”
"Could it be ......" Su Yun faintly had a thought in his heart.
Wan Hou gently picked up the dragon vein bone in the box, and with the most pious belief in his eyes, he slowly lifted this dragon vein bone to the highest, as if this dragon bone was the supreme scepter in the world.
Prince Wanhou said loudly: "I want to give this dragon vein bone to Miss Luo Zi, and at the same time hire her to become the new high priest of the Dragon Temple of my Longkai clan!" ”
"What!"
"High Priest of the Dragon Temple!"
"Is Wan Hou crazy?"
The audience was in an uproar.
Su Yun looked at Ska, who also looked stunned, and said to Su Yun after a long time: "The Dragon Temple is the belief department of the Longkai clan, and it controls the faith of the Longkai clan. The politics and religion of the Longkai clan are separated, politics is controlled by the Longkai royal family, and faith is controlled by the Longmiao. ”
Su Yun frowned and said, "In this case, when the two are separated, why is Wan Hou qualified to get the dragon vein, and he still has the right to transfer the dragon vein to others on behalf of the Long Kai Empire?" ”
Scar muttered, "Wan Hou is not qualified to appoint a high priest at all, his dragon vein ...... It is very likely that it was obtained by extraordinary means! ”
"What do you mean?" Su Yun didn't understand.
Scar said: "The contradiction between the Longkai royal family and the Dragon Temple has been going on for a long time, and the Longkai royal family has always wanted to control the entire Longkai Empire from both political and religious aspects, but it has been obstructed by the Dragon Temple and cannot be implemented. ”
"This prince of Wanhou has always advocated that the people of the Longkai clan should be as diligent in cultivation as the Shiwu clan, and cannot rely on the power of the bloodline and neglect to improve, but his concept conflicts with the theory of the supremacy of the bloodline of the Dragon Temple, and the Dragon Temple believes that the Longkai clan should not cultivate, and cultivation is a blasphemy against the Longkai bloodline."
"This is just a conflict of ideas, but I didn't expect Wan Hou to dare to do this, he actually took the dragon vein bone out of the realm of the Longkai Empire. The Dragon Vein Bone is the cornerstone of the Dragon Temple's beliefs, and if he succeeds in handing over the Dragon Vein Bone to Princess Luo Zi here......"
At this point, Scar was silent.
Su Yun hurriedly asked, "What will happen?" ”
Scar continued: "If the bones of the dragon vein fall into the hands of Princess Luo Zi, then Princess Luo Zi must marry the prince of Wanhou, otherwise the Dragon Temple can use the Dragon Temple Supreme Treasure to wander into the hands of foreign clans and launch a religious war against the Spirit Clan!" ”
"And what if they get married?"
Scar said: "If there is a marriage, then Princess Luo Zi will be the own person of the Longkai clan, and then this matter will be the internal affairs of the Longkai clan, with the help of the Longkai royal family, Luo Zi will definitely be able to sit on the throne of the high priest, and the prince of Wanhou can also realize his grand plan of unifying the Longkai Empire." ”
Su Yun said coldly: "Such a big matter, how dare Wan Hou hand it over to Princess Luo Zi like this?" ”
"It's a last-ditch fight!" Skadao, although he is not keen on the affairs between the major forces, he is also a smart person, he has been exposed to a lot of political education from his ears and eyes, and quickly analyzed the hidden situation here, "This dragon vein bone is not coming from the right way, the prince of Ming Wanhou has gambled on his future, if Princess Luo Zi does not accept it here, it will be driven to a dead end." ”
Su Yun said with a solemn face: "So, Wan Hou is using his future to force Princess Luo Zi to make a decision?" ”
Scar said: "That's right, if Luo Zi refuses Wan Hou's gift, then Wan Hou will inevitably be attacked by the people of Long Kai when he returns to the family, and he will become a sinner of the Long Kai family, and he will probably spend the rest of his years in Long Kai's prison." For an idealistic and ambitious person like Wan Hou, life imprisonment is worse than the death penalty! ”
Su Yun took a deep breath and said, "So how can he guarantee that Princess Luo Zi will definitely accept it?" And how to ensure that Luo Zi will not be unfavorable to him after he controls the belief of the Longkai clan? And how to ensure that after Luo Zi controls the keel, he will act according to Wan Hou's wishes? ”
Scar said: "Impossible, if Princess Luo Zi accepts the bone of the dragon vein, then she must marry the prince of Wanhou, the Longkai clan has the legendary dragon soul purple flame, and the opposite sex who has interacted with the man of the Longkai clan, no matter what race, will die to the man under the baptism of the dragon soul purple flame, and will never have a different heart." ”
Su Yun said in surprise: "Then what is the difference between this and slavery?" If so, would anyone dare to marry into the Longkai clan? ”
Scar shook his head and said: "Before ordinary women marry into the Longkai clan, they will sign other contracts with the man in advance, so that they can restrain each other after marriage, and under the constraints of the two-way contract, the status of both parties is equal. Of course, there are also some Longkai men who occasionally use strong ...... in the time and space sea However, this kind of scandal has a great negative impact on the Longkai clan, and this kind of thing rarely happens. ”
I don't know why, when Su Yun heard the setting of this Dragon Soul Purple Flame, an extremely disgusting feeling appeared in his heart, followed by a raging nameless anger.
