"Honorable Lord the Lich King, welcome. My name is Archiel Norman Golden Power. The white-robed, sturdy dragon man saluted respectfully, glanced behind him, and whispered, "This is our temporary residence for you. At the same time, we have also prepared a dinner party for you. Our Grand Elder and other members will not be in attendance, and it will be a dinner party for your own people. As for the official meeting, it will be scheduled tomorrow, after the guests who have come from afar have rested enough. During my time in the Valley of the Dragon, I will be your Internal Affairs Officer. If you have any needs, please feel free to let me know and I will do my best to meet them. In case you forget, allow me to introduce myself again, my name is Archiel Norman Golden Power. Golden Power is my last name. ”

"Greetings, Your Excellency the Lich King. My name is Efrisia Silver Dream. The delicate-looking girl on the side also saluted Gray respectfully, and said with a smile: "During your time in the Valley of the Dragon, I will assist Achill Norman in taking care of your daily life. If you can't find him, you can find me. I will also do my best to meet your needs. And, of course, the rest of us here. ”

"Welcome, honorable Lord the Lich King. The other dozen or so dragon clansmen lined up also saluted Gray respectfully.

"Thank you. Gray turned over and dismounted, put his hand to his heart, and politely returned the salute.

One by one, the others also rolled over and dismounted.

Richie craned his neck and looked around curiously.

Sideways to move out of the way, Achill Norman whispered, "Now, please let us take you to the room that has been prepared for you." ”

......

It's a very distinctive two-story building, at least Gray has never lived in a place like this. The whole building, made entirely of stones, is covered with frescoes and sculptures. Indoor and outdoor, without any trace of paint. Gaps in the floor are sometimes as wide as a finger.

Coupled with the vines that wrap the exterior tightly, it looks more like some kind of relic than a temporary shelter for the Mission. If you don't look closely, you'll even miss it in a blink of an eye. Because it is completely integrated with the surrounding landscape.

However, as far as the eye can see, there doesn't seem to be any other building in the entire Dragon Valley.

Speaking of which, the floor area is really not small. The first floor has one hundred and fifty rooms in a row, and the second floor is a little smaller, but there are also seventy rooms. Gray was placed in the only room with a balcony in the middle.

The rough and uneven walls, the rough stone floors, and even the sand on the ground all seemed to have been swept by no one.

However, each room was fully furnished, with white bedding, and although simple, each one looked new, as if it had been specially prepared for the mission.

The mallet muttered, "I guess this place was not inhabited at all, and they sorted it out when they knew we were coming." ”

"Yes, you're right. Alex Rahan replied with a smile, "The last time people lived here was when the Elven Queen visited more than 4,800 years ago. The last time again, it goes back more than 10,000 years to the time of Krimatha. In fact, it was originally intended for the missions of the Krimatha Mage Alliance. ”

"Look, I guessed it. Hahaha. ”

The mallet walked down the hallway with his axe held aloft and cheered.

"Your Highness the Lich King, the place for the dinner is in the courtyard. Archiel Norman saluted respectfully and said, "Take a break, and we'll send someone to inform you later." If you need anything, feel free to call me, I'm all around you. ”

"Okay, thanks. Gray politely replied.

The dragons are gone, but they haven't gone too far, just in the courtyard.

It is said to be a yard, but in fact, it is the open space in front of the building, which is just a flat ground with weeds, and there are no floor tiles or cement. They're getting ready for the upcoming dinner.

Because Gray had brought so many people, they had to make three long tables, each covered with a white cloth. A dozen dragons were placing various foods on it.

Gray stood on the balcony and watched silently.

"Whew, it's hot, it's cold to death, and now it's hot!" the black cat jumped out of Gray's mask.

Catherine appeared next to Gray with her hands crossed, and Vivien appeared on the other side of Gray.

"Don't you think it's weird?" Vivien pouted, looking at the dragons in the courtyard who were preparing for the dinner, "Welcome the Lich King with the dinner." In the past, when people didn't know you were a lich, it was normal to welcome you with a dinner party. But now ......"

"Maybe it's just some kind of ritual. Gray replied lightly, "Besides, there are many dwarves in our ranks. ”

"But we didn't tell them we'd bring the dwarves here. ”

"We shouldn't overestimate each other, otherwise we may cause unnecessary misunderstandings and lose a potential ally and then an enemy. ”

"But there are those who are destined to be our enemies from the start. Black cat, do you think I'm right?" Vivien looked at the black cat to the side.

"Forehead......" hesitated, and the black cat replied, "Actually, I am more supportive of Gray's idea. We don't have any reliable allies yet, which would make us very passive. We need allies, and the Golden Dragons might be a good alliance. At least for now, they are the only ones we might ally ally with who are powerful enough. ”

As he spoke, the black cat looked at Catherine.

Catherine glanced at the black cat, then at the busy dragons in the yard, but only sighed and did not speak.

At this moment, Richie, who had already taken off his armor, staggered in from outside the door, and then pressed Gray's bed with both hands, rubbed it gently, rubbed it, and sat down obediently. A pair of big eyes gurgled and rolled.

Everyone looked back at him.

"Father, Aunt Catherine, Aunt Vivien, Uncle Black Cat, you go on, I'll just sit in and I won't disturb you!"

......

At night, the dragon people lit rows of candles on the long tables in the courtyard, filled with dishes and wine. In addition to this, a large table was arranged for large dishes.

What do you mean by a large dish? such as roasted whole beef.

The dwarves were spoiled by this coke, and they laughed with joy.

"Wow! This is so delicious! I never thought dragons were so good at cooking!"

"In fact, I thought they were all eaten alive. After all, their mouths are so big. ”

"What kind of sauce is this? Oh my God, I've never tasted this in my life!"

The scene of eating was like a war.

In stark contrast to the two dwarven tables, the Silver Moon Knight's table was so quiet that there was hardly any movement.

After all, what do you want? Except for the Lich, it's the Undead Knight. There were more than a hundred people seated at the table, but in fact, Vivian, Catherine, Black Cat, and Richie were lucky enough to taste the food. The others couldn't even drink – because they didn't have stomachs at all.

On one side are dwarves who eat like they are fighting, some even climb onto the table and start dancing, and on the other hand, there are undead who can't be described as in a daze. To be honest, this meeting was a bit awkward.

What's even more embarrassing is that I don't know how long I should sit before I can go.

Achill Norman walked over with a wine glass, personally poured a full glass of wine for Gray, filled another glass for himself, and then raised the glass high: "On behalf of the Golden Dragons, I would like to welcome once again the guests who have come from afar, and welcome our esteemed Lich King. ”

Gray couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Are you kidding?" Vivien next to her couldn't stand it anymore, frowning and muttering, "Didn't anyone tell you that the Lich King was a lich and didn't eat or drink?"

"That's what we're doing this dinner for. Achill Norman smiled and said, "Your Highness the Lich King, please raise your glass. ”

As he spoke, he picked up Gray's glass and brought it to Gray.

Helpless, Gray could only get up and reach out to take it.

Archiel Norman touched Gray's with his own glass, then smiled and took a sip, and motioned for Gray to drink it as well.

Gray was confused, a little overwhelmed.

Archiel Norman raised his hand slightly.

The people around all looked silently, puzzled.

In desperation, Gray had no choice but to push the mask open a slit, and then tilted his head and poured all the small wine in the glass.

For a moment, Gray looked at the empty cup in his hand and froze.

"It's ......"

"It's the taste of wine. Achill Norman smiled and asked, "Is this your first time tasting it?" And, of course, food that the undead can also eat. ”

All of a sudden, the undead were in an uproar.

Some Silvermoon Knights hurriedly poured a full glass of wine and poured it down, some Silvermoon Knights hurriedly cut off a piece of beef and put it in their mouths, and some Silvermoon Knights stuffed the salad next to them into their mouths.

"Oh my God! It really tastes! I really ate it!"

"How did they do it?"

"Wow! I ...... Oh my God, I never thought I'd be able to eat!"

All of a sudden, the undead's table became hotter, more lively than the two tables of the dwarves next to them. So much so that the dwarves fell silent, and watched one by one, not knowing why.

"Can you tell me your secret?" Lucy, who was overjoyed, hurriedly asked, "I mean, magic." This must be some kind of psychic magic, right?"

"Hmm...... It's not exactly spiritual magic. To be precise, it should be a combination of spiritual magic and sealing magic. Breaks down food while allowing you to feel the taste, as well as the sense of touch. We will be more than happy to tell you our secrets. With that, Achill Norman looked at Gray on the other side, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Are you still satisfied? ”

Gray silently picked up his glass, personally poured a glass of wine for Archie Norman, and filled himself with another glass: "Thank you, you have fulfilled my wish for many years. ”

"It's our pleasure that you can like it. Achill Norman humbly took the glass and nodded respectfully.

This is probably the most lively dinner the Knights of the Silver Moon have ever experienced. After all, this was the first time that even the Silver Moon Knights could participate in a dinner party.

These drunken spirits not only drink, but also get drunk. Several undead knights had already stood on the table and started shouting. They even prepare to belly dance with the dwarves, and are surprised to find that they don't have a belly.

In the midst of the commotion, even Gray hugged them and went crazy.

At this moment, they didn't know that in the distance, many pairs of eyes were quietly watching them.

......

"Did he drink too much? He's drunk. This may be a good opportunity. ”

"I don't think so. Even if he was drunk, the two old lichs and angels next to him, as well as the succubus, would not be drunk. It is impossible for this little wine to shake their powerful spiritual power. Even if it's him, I don't think he's drunk. He didn't drink much. Maybe it's just ...... Happy?"

"Happy?"

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have been able to believe that the so-called Lich King was actually a lich over a hundred years old. It's ridiculous. ”

"Yes, I think so too. But that's just the way it is. This is the result of the creation of those people in Heaven, and now, even they have no control. With the addition of the Lich Council, he is becoming the most unstable factor in the entire Celtic world. How so...... It's like a few people playing cards, originally playing silently. Now suddenly there is one more person. We thought he was going to get in too, but he turned the table upside down. ”

"It's really bad. ”

"Very bad. He's trying to change all the original rules. As soon as he came on the field, he openly declared his enmity with hell, his disagreement with heaven. At the same time, he also declared war on the Black Dragon...... The lichs are indeed powerful, but apparently, they are not strong enough to challenge them all at once. ”

"So he wants us to be on his side. It makes sense. ”

"But should we really be on his side? I'm not speaking for the black dragon. In fact, I also find the black dragon very annoying. But I think that in addition to the black dragon, we should also consider the movements of heaven and hell. These two parties are really powerful. There is little possibility of peace talks between him and the two sides. ”

The other voice was silent for a moment before replying softly, "You're right, but there's still no need for us to be on the opposite side of him." Also, the table he knocked off wasn't ours. We never even participated. It is not in our long-term interest to be hostile to him. This matter is left to the Grand Elder. It's been a few days. Tomorrow, they will meet, and you don't have to be too anxious or jump to conclusions. ”

With a long sigh, another voice said, "Okay, then we'll wait." ”
