Chapter 455: Lana's Waiting, Platinum Dragon King's Worst Speculation
Reviewing country.
Zhongdu Metria.
Clear water flows out of the magic faucet, splashing in the groove of the sink, washing a pair of clean and delicate slender hands.
The water splashes between the fingers, forming fine and clean bubbles.
Princess Lana rubbed her palms lightly, raised her arms gracefully, wiped the water off her hands, and raised her head. On the wall hung a glass mirror made of a gold frame.
Light and shadow are reflected on it.
That is a beautiful face that can be praised by anyone!
“Hey~”
Princess Lana sighed softly: "Vulgar decoration."
Even though I have been accustomed to it for a while, it is still difficult to describe the style of this VIP hotel. Everywhere is decorated with gold, gems and expensive materials.
Perhaps because she was nicknamed "Gold", the receptionists filled the room where she lived with many gold decorations.
If you want to describe.
It should be "rustic", the feeling of a nouveau riche businessman.
fine.
Princess Lana had never expected that those subhuman races would have the same aesthetics and art as they did.
Princess Lana's bright blue eyes looked at the beautiful image in the mirror again, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a kind, innocent and lovely image.
This is the VIP guesthouse in the capital of the "Review State". I have been staying here since I arrived a week ago.
Walk out of the bathroom.
An unexpectedly spacious room and hall came into view, probably because the Review Nation is a multi-ethnic country.
The buildings here have different styles, but they are generally taller, larger, and more rugged than normal houses inhabited by humans.
Climb stood respectfully at the gate, straight as a spear, his meticulous demeanor as if ready for battle at any moment.
In front of the big glass window.
Gazef's beard had grown thicker, and there was a hint of worry on his face. His sharp eyes would occasionally glance out the window for observation.
Even the usually calm Renas was standing next to the soft black sofa in the center of the hall, holding a spear.
"Don't be so nervous."
Princess Lana saw the tense expressions of the three people and spoke cheerfully. She lightly lifted the hem of her pure white skirt with her fingers and sat on the sofa.
"Master Gazef, Master Renas, and Climb, would you like to try some of the desserts here?"
"It's very good. You can't eat this in the kingdom."
On the long table.
There are several translucent petal-shaped desserts on display, with a crystal-clear outer layer and a liquid silver candied fruit inside, sprinkled with local specialty seasoning powder on the surface.
The name of the dessert is "Moon Dew Honey Whisper". It was just delivered by the servants here. It is said to be made by the forest elves of the Council Country.
"Yeah~"
Princess Lana picked up the silver spoon, gently scooped out a piece, and put it in her mouth. A mixture of mint coolness and forest berries spread on the tip of her tongue:
"It's delicious. I almost want to live here."
Lenas raised her eyelids and said calmly: "This joke is not funny."
Just now!
They saw with their own eyes a giant dragon with green scales flying low in front of the VIP hotel.
The air waves created by the flight and the terrifying dragon power emanating from the dragon clan kept the nerves of Renas and the other two tense!
That is the most powerful race in the world!
Even the powerful existences that only appear in picture books, various heroic stories, and biographical novels are monsters that humans cannot contend with!
"That permanent councilor doesn't seem to have any hostility towards us."
Princess Lana's eyes flickered slightly as she spoke with a smile, without a trace of worry at all.
Gazef withdrew his gaze from the window, opened his mouth, and hesitated to speak. Finally, he spoke respectfully, "Your Highness."
"Are we going to stay here any longer?"
Their delegation set out in early October and it is now November 3rd. They have spent most of the time on the road and encountered several dangers.
That would be fine, but after so much difficulty I arrived at the capital of the Council Nation, but until now I haven't even seen a single council member.
The reviewing country does not seem to want to talk to them!
"Didn't we just meet a permanent councilor?"
Princess Lana put down the silver spoon in her hand and said with a smile: "As far as I know, the permanent councilors of the Council State do not live here."
"I remember~"
"Did you get any news when you were out before?"
Princess Lana asked curiously.
Renas raised her chin. "I've already contacted Captain Azis of the Vermillion Dewdrops and received some unexpected intelligence."
"Rumor has it that the Council State is ruled by a permanent council consisting of the five most powerful Dragon Kings. In fact, in addition to these five Dragon Kings, there is another Dragon King."
"According to Captain Azis, the other party has a higher status and is called the Platinum Dragon King."
"There is actually such a thing?"
Princess Lana looked surprised, but her deep blue pupils were unusually calm.
This was the information she already knew, and the source of the information was that adult.
Gazef and Climb also shared the intelligence they had gathered.
After listening to this, Princess Lana continued to pick up the silver spoon to taste the dessert, but she was organizing the information in her mind.
"The Dragon King... a terrifying creature."
"This race, possessing great strength and a long lifespan, must possess wisdom and ideas that are different from those of humans.
Princess Lana licked the dessert on her lips, feeling a sense of excitement and challenge deep in her heart:
"Using external pressure to facilitate this 'cooperation'... I can guess a little. And what is the 'bait' that the Dragon King is interested in?"
"It's really hard to figure out that man... How dare the adults plot against these monsters? Hehe, this is getting more and more interesting."
at the same time.
Inside a palace.
Laais Digger is a short and thin fox man with a slightly hunched back and pointed, short and thick ears, giving people a sinister and cunning feeling.
Among the many subhuman races that worship strength, fox people are considered to be an outlier among subhumans, and they value wisdom more.
This also resulted in the special status of fox people among many sub-human races.
The foxman Laais is not only a member of the parliament, but also a close confidant of the Platinum Dragon King. After all, demi-humans with excellent intelligence are considered a rare species!
"Is that all?"
The Platinum Dragon King gave a majestic voice, looking down at the small figure at his feet.
"Your Majesty, the intelligence transmitted by the spies planted within the Church has been verified and is accurate."
The foxman Laais replied quickly and respectfully, with a sharp voice:
"The Elven Kingdom was defeated. According to intelligence, the Theocracy has deployed powerful angelic monsters."
"But... although the Elf King was defeated, he escaped. I suspect he has already left the Ivanshah Forest."
The Theocracy went to war with the Elf Kingdom, mobilizing over 100,000 men, and such a major move could not be concealed.
It is much easier for spies to obtain intelligence.
The long breathing sound echoed in the empty hall, creating an invisible pressure.
The fox man Laais lowered his head, his spine even more hunched, and waited quietly.
The Platinum Dragon King half-closed his eyes, his amber pupils were deep and dark, like an abyss, making it impossible to guess his emotions or what he was thinking.
The Theocracy suddenly took such a drastic action.
The reason behind this was not difficult for the Platinum Dragon King to guess.
It was the encounter in the Tob Forest!
A trace of regret flashed through the Platinum Dragon King's heart: "I shouldn't have acted rashly."
"The Theocracy must have deduced that the Platinum Armor was related to the Council, and to prevent the possibility of a two-front war, they eagerly launched a war against the Elf Kingdom."
As for the results!
The Platinum Dragon King had not expected that the war would end in just one month.
Angel-like monster?
Haha~
"Is it another divine being taking action?"
The Platinum Dragon King speculated this in his mind, but in fact he had a definite answer.
Thinking of the lost platinum armor!
The Platinum Dragon King's calm state of mind was once again stirred up. The emotion of "anger" was meaningless. It cared more about how the other party did it.
At first he speculated on two possibilities:
①Use special abilities to cut off its connection with the platinum armor.
②Directly destroyed the platinum armor.
These are two different situations, and the countermeasures that need to be considered are also very different!
The Platinum Dragon King hopes it is the first one, but judging by the current results, it is most likely the second dangerous situation.
Not long ago, it sent people to the Tob Forest to investigate and confirmed that the "magic tree" had disappeared.
"Is the envoy sent by the Kingdom still here?"
The Platinum Dragon King came back to his senses, and a majestic voice suddenly rang out: "What is the identity of the messenger?"
"Your Majesty."
"The Kingdom's envoy is currently staying in the VIP guesthouse. You can summon him at any time."
The foxman Laais answered respectfully, then thought briefly, his cunning eyes flashing:
"The envoy is the third princess of the kingdom, known as 'Golden', and is sent to our country as such."
"It doesn't seem too solemn, nor does it seem disregarded. These human nations always have so many little thoughts."
The foxman Laais made a slightly sarcastic comment, then changed the subject:
"A few months ago, the Kingdom won a great victory in the war against the Empire, which probably angered the Emperor. There is still a significant gap in the overall national strength between the Kingdom and the Empire."
"The purpose of this delegation is probably to obtain our country's support to counter the empire."
"Let the Blue Sky Dragon King make contact." The Platinum Dragon King said lightly.
The foxman Laais's eyes widened in shock, but he quickly suppressed his inner shock and responded, "Yes!"
"Laais Digger."
From the Platinum Dragon King's slender neck covered with white scales, a deafening and majestic voice rang out:
"Where do you think the defeated Elf King would flee to if he escaped?"
This was something that the fox man Laais had never considered, but in a short time, he had a guess in his mind.
"It is an honor for this humble body of mine to help you solve your doubts."
The foxman Laais spoke excitedly, "Given the location of the Ivansha Great Forest, there are only three directions to leave: north, east, and south."
"To the north is the Silian Theocracy. The Elf King would not choose this direction. To the east is the vast land, which is the most suitable direction for escape."
"And to the south..."
At the end.
The fox man Laais realized something, sweat instantly broke out on his forehead, and he fell to his knees with a "thump".
Because the southernmost part is the "Sky City" built by the legendary Eight Desire Kings. In all legends, the Eight Desire Kings and the Dragon King have always been in a hostile relationship.
"Back off."
The Platinum Dragon King's voice remained calm.
The foxman Laais then left the palace tremblingly.
"Wise Raais Digger."
The Platinum Dragon King did not think there were only three possibilities. His voice was low and cold:
"There's another possibility... The Elf King didn't escape, but was captured alive. The information about his escape was deliberately leaked by the Slaine Theocracy."
The reason why it can think of this possibility!
Because the "magic tree" in the Tob Forest has disappeared, the secret team of the Sri Lankan Theocracy has dispatched world-class props.
The Platinum Dragon King doesn’t think that the purpose of using world-class items is to destroy the magic tree!
"—Assuming the worst-case scenario!"
The Platinum Dragon King's eyes grew colder. "The Demonic Tree and the Elf King have all been controlled by the Silian Theocracy!"
"The overall strength and danger of the Silan Theocracy..."
In the slightly dim environment of the empty hall.
Buzz——!
The platinum scales on the Platinum Dragon King's body suddenly emitted a pure white light, instantly illuminating the hall.
The terrifying power swept across the surroundings like a tide, making the air scream as if it was being squeezed and broken.
"God! World-class props!"
It needs to go further and obtain more detailed intelligence about the Silian Theocracy!
This delegation sent by the kingdom might be a good opportunity to test the Theocracy by taking advantage of the conflict between the Kingdom of Re-Estize and the Bahas Empire.
"It's just—is it a little coincidental?"
…………
Middle-earth Moon.
November 13th, early morning.
The orange-yellow sun emerged from the depths of the desert in the east, and the boundary between heaven and earth was shattered by the heat wave in the blink of an eye.
From a distance, it looked like a void of white.
The sand dunes are rolling and the tiny yellow sand grains seem to be the only thing in this world. The surface of the desert is covered with endless sand patterns.
This is a vast desert located south of the "Ivansha Great Forest". It has many names for the various tribes living here.
But now!
This desert only has one name left - the Great Desert of Hiero.
The three words "Hierro" mean "rare" and "precious" in the language of the other world, and also mean "the residence of God".
In the heart of the "Hiero Desert" lies a miraculous oasis, nestled amidst the scorching heat.
This oasis is like a mirage, elusive, but it is real.
Above an oasis comparable to a small country!
A thick white cloud stretching for thousands of kilometers suddenly appeared in the cloudless desert.
Roar—Wow!
In the clouds, a low and grand roar continued to sound, like a flood-like waterfall, breaking through layers of clouds and mist and appearing in the sky.
"The waterfall plunges three thousand feet" is an exaggerated description, but at this moment it is fully concrete!
Wherever the water flows, clusters of colorful rainbows emerge, hanging horizontally on the unstoppable water flow falling towards the oasis.
A deafening roar sounded in the sky, but it was so weak that it could only reach the oasis below.
The clear rain water sprinkles on the oasis with incredible power, proving the existence of gods. The dazzling and sacred scene is shocking.
This is a true miracle!
It is also a gift from God!
Oasis - Eleuntius.
"The Eightfold Will awakens on the other side of the starry sea!"
"May the flames purify ignorance."
“May the flowing water cleanse the soul.”
“May our ignorant minds be able to understand the supreme gift.”
"Please hear the faint prayer in the dust!"
"May our despicable souls and flesh be able to connect to Apu's address and find our way home~"
Early in the morning, the sounds of daily prayers rang out from every corner of the oasis.
