Chapter Seventy-Three: The Dragon King's Court

The blue dragon Salian was kneeling on one knee in the golden square, and with him were the envoys of Dragon City who had rushed back from all over the country. Glancing at these colleagues who he hadn't seen for many years, Salian couldn't help but feel a little emotional. In the more than 1,000 years that he has served as the envoy of Dragon City, it is the first time that the Dragon King Court has held a Dragon King court meeting in advance.

In the past, Dragon City would only convene a large-scale meeting of Dragon City envoys every hundred years to question and discuss the relevant situation. The decisions made by the once-in-a-century Dragon King Council largely dominate the future of all living beings on the ground, and few races on the ground can defy this high will. For no race can withstand the wrath of the dragons, and only the most powerful of the Light Pact can argue a little bit about the drastic policies.

Salian remembers very well the last time the Dragon King's court was meeting, and that was only twenty years ago. He believed that it was not just a war between two small states, the Duchy of Bohemia and the Duchy of Bavaria, that made the Dragon Kings so anxious. It can be seen from this Dragon City envoy who knelt all over the Golden Square that the entire Calantok has fallen into unprecedented turmoil.

Salian looked up at the magnificent Dragon Court, and his mood was agitated and he felt a little more uneasy. I wonder if the kings will punish him for a war that he did not stop, they have always disliked the war-torn world.

"Salian, come in!" a loud voice came from the Dragon King's Court, shocking all the dragon envoys in the Golden Square.

"Do as the kings command!" Salian said respectfully, and then spread his wings and plunged over the golden steps into the deep vault. After seeing Salian fly in, the rest of the dragon envoys breathed a sigh of relief. They all knew that the kings of Dragon City were not in a good mood these days, so Salian begged for more blessings.

In the deep and endless corridor, Salian, who was flying with wings, couldn't help but feel his own insignificance. Although he had been here dozens of times, each time he was struck by the giant reliefs on both sides of the promenade. These relief scrolls, carved by unknown people, bear witness to the dragon's glorious history.

With a blinding light, Salian found himself in front of the Dragon King's Court. Frightened by the majesty of the kings, he slowed down his flight and quietly landed on a circular platform. The moment he landed, Salian immediately changed into a human form, kneeling on one knee and ready to be questioned by the dragon kings.

Before the royal court, only the dragon kings.

Seven huge thrones floated within the Dragon Court, silver-white, jade, pure gold, fiery red, turquoise, pitch-black, and dark. Sitting on it are the dragon kings who represent the most noble status of the Eternal Dragon City.

"Raise your head!" the loud voice sounded again, and Salian dared to look up to the noble Dragon King.

The council is usually presided over by a dragon king, a distinction that rotates every hundred years, and it is the Black Dragon King who sits on the pitch-black throne who speaks today.

Salian suddenly discovered that in addition to the Dark Dragon King, who had never appeared, the Red Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King were also absent from this Dragon King court meeting. Although according to the rules of procedure of the royal court, the dragon king's court can be convened if four dragon kings initiate it. But in this eventful season, it is a little rash to start the court discussion without waiting for the other two dragon kings to arrive.

"Put away your extra thoughts, Sarian!" roared the Blue Dragon King, obviously annoyed by the attitude of those Dragon City envoys from earlier.

The Black Dragon King said nothing, after all, he was the calmest of all kings: "Salian, tell us everything you know about Bohemia and Bavaria. ”

Salian began with the mountainous area of Monria, where the two countries have always disputed, and recounted the decades-long feud between the two countries. The sudden appearance of gold mines added fuel to the fire, causing a full-scale war between the two countries, which were already in conflict.

In the early stages of the war, the two sides won and lost each other, and the continuous bloodshed did not bring the so-called decisive victory to both sides. The wandering necromancers and blood mages rose to prominence in this chaos and seized control of the kingdom of Bavaria.

The entire kingdom of Bavaria is now a realm of the undead, and this unexpected upheaval has turned this battle for territory into a war between the undead and the living.

Salian was particularly saddened by this: "Honorable kings, I have an unshirkable responsibility for this series of events that have occurred in the two countries. As the envoy of Dragon City, I should have pressured both sides to accept the armistice mediation, rather than sit back and watch the situation unfold and lead to the more chaotic situation we are today. ”

The huge royal court was as dead silent, and in the face of the silence of the kings, Sarian felt unprecedented fear at this moment. Because that means you've made more mistakes than you think.

The Black Dragon King was the first to break the silence: "Sarian, in the face of the conflict and even the war between the two countries, what you did is not wrong. Our generation has never been a dominant, and mediating disputes and maintaining balance is what Eternal Dragon City has always insisted on. We don't have to feel guilty about the stupidity of mortals. ”

Before Salian's heart could be relieved, the Black Dragon King began to criticize Salian for what he had overlooked: "But you have not done your part in the development of events. Being an envoy of Dragon City can bring you great convenience in diplomacy, but you are shackled by it and don't pay attention to the undercurrents that go beyond the diplomatic level. ”

Salian was already a little panicked, and his body began to tremble a little.

I saw that the black dragon king dragon claw waved, and several projections appeared in the huge dragon court, the first one was the projection of the Monria Mountains, followed by some other faces that Salian was not familiar with.

The first thing that unfolded before Salian's eyes was the image of the Monria mountains: "The barren mountainous terrain suddenly appeared as a source of real conflict. As an envoy of Dragon City, you did not investigate the source of these golden sands in detail, and this is the first place you were negligent. ”

The Black Dragon King's tone began to be a little harsh: "Diplomacy is not just about dancing with wine, but also about other aspects. You've noticed that the Hanseatic League borrowed heavily from Bohemia, but the Imperial Movement was hidden behind the Hanseatic League. You've ignored this again, what you've been putting in your far wiser than mortal head all these years!"

In the face of the accusations of the Black Dragon King, Salian did not argue. Because I really didn't notice these two points mentioned above, I simply thought that the outbreak of war was an irreconcilable contradiction between the two countries for a long time. While blaming himself, Salian also sprouted a trace of resentment towards humanity in his heart. Because these lowly mortals dare to play such small tricks behind the dragon's back, it seems that they are really alive.

The Emerald Dragon King glanced at Salian, who was kneeling on the ground, and said slowly, "The necromancer's disturbance is indeed an accident, and your failure to directly intervene in this war because of this is also in line with the persistence of Eternal Dragon City. This war is far more complicated than you think, and it's understandable that you don't know everything behind the scenes. ”

The most emotional blue dragon was a little impatient: "Salian, there's nothing for you to do here, retreat!"

The terrified Salian was granted amnesty: "Do the king's command." ”

I saw him stand up and turn around, and his thin figure immediately turned into a blue dragon, fluttering a few times before flying away from the dragon king's court.

Looking at Salian who flapped his wings and left, the Golden Dragon King finally spoke, and his tone was full of complaints: "The dragon king's court meeting was held before the kings arrived, and every envoy came in with the same expression as if they had seen a ghost. It's really unpleasant to have this weird atmosphere, I knew I was going to skip work and go back to sleep. I really envy Sister Hong's decisiveness, she directly put aside her burden and went on her honeymoon with Xiao Xianrou. ”

The King of the Blue Dragon immediately objected: "Believe it or not, I demolished your nest!"

The mature and calm Black Dragon King immediately stopped the two from arguing: "Don't quarrel, let's start a formal court discussion." ”

The Jade Dragon King was a little puzzled: "Aren't we going to summon other envoys to come in and question?"

Because in the usual procedure, they had to ask all the envoys of Dragon City before they began the formal Dragon King court meeting.

The Black Dragon King's expression was a little sad: "The rest of the strife is still in the bud, the war between Bohemia and Bavaria is already a reality, and it is more likely to be the beginning of another great war." We don't have much time left. ”
