Chapter 494 Dragon: Not really, really not!
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Holo naturally couldn't go back on her word, and could only angrily cancel her deified state:
"Okay, you passed."
Hearing Holo's promise, Ciri couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and looked at Lorne and the other two with gratitude.
Although her character is not very delicate, she at least knows what is good intention and what is bad intention.
Galadriel loved her like a sister, and their feelings for each other were purest;
Although Rose doesn't seem to be close to anyone, she is actually a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside and worthy of deep friendship;
In the end, Loen looked lazy, but it seemed that no matter what trouble she got into or what danger she encountered, her creditor could easily deal with it, giving her a full sense of security. He was like a good teacher and a good friend, and was the most reliable.
In this team that was put together by chance, she was the only one who was most eager to obtain dragon blood. In a sense, the remaining three people were there to accompany her.
That’s great!
Ciri sheathed the silver sword, even looking forward to the upcoming adventure.
However, before she could be happy, Holo changed the subject and raised doubts:
"However, you are fighting in the name of the Chamber of Commerce, but all of you are strangers. The seven old men of the dwarf tribe might nag us for not paying attention to their affairs..."
"You want to default on your debt?" Ciri was a little nervous.
"That's not the case. We want Gandalf and Belle to form a team with you and hang the sign of the guild together. This will be an explanation to the dwarves and also allow you to take care of each other."
Hearing this, Ciri immediately relaxed and nodded decisively in agreement.
Of course, it is acceptable to fight and slay dragons together with these two acquaintances. It can even be said that it is something that one would like to have.
After all, after spending so much time with them, she was very familiar with Gandalf and Belle, and they had cooperated with each other in many encounters with dragons. With their abilities, if they teamed up together, they could definitely increase the success rate of slaying dragons.
"Okay, it's settled then. Go to bed early tonight. As soon as the sun rises tomorrow, I'll take you to the Dwarf Hall to attend the pre-war meeting for slaying the dragon."
As the negotiation was concluded, Holo slammed the table, finalizing the deal.
Ciri was overjoyed and walked briskly towards the door.
However, at the moment before leaving, she seemed to remember something, turned around to look at Gandalf who was waving at her with a smile in the hall, and immediately raised her hand and slapped her forehead.
Got fooled!
Gandalf was originally an external aid invited by the Chamber of Commerce to deal with the dragon disaster, which means that the Chamber of Commerce currently has no suitable manpower to slay the dragon. When encountering such a powerful team, it is too late to recruit them, so how can it be reasonable to set a threshold?
Therefore, this president probably wanted to get them to join him from the very beginning!
The best proof is letting Gandalf and Belle come in to fill the positions instead of forming another team!
“We were fooled!”
Ciri angrily told the three people around her about this discovery, but surprisingly, the three people just nodded, with no change in their expressions.
Seeing this reaction, Ciri suddenly realized:
"You knew it a long time ago?"
"It wasn't too early. When the president finally called for people to be sent back, we had almost figured it out."
Galadriel and Rose answered calmly, and their insight was obviously much better than that of Ciri, the young and inexperienced man.
Seeing that Ciri was a little discouraged, Lorne comforted her:
"It's good to think about it now. You have improved a lot compared to before."
Xili felt warm in her heart, as if she was a poor student who was given an improvement award by the teacher and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
For a moment, she even forgot to ask Lorne how he knew that the president was up to something bad.
~~
The next morning, after breakfast, the four of them gathered in the Chamber of Commerce hall.
Holo arrived as promised, with Gandalf and Belle following behind her.
"Let's go!"
Holo yawned, raised her hand and waved, then led her team into the teleportation array in the backyard.
A flash of spatial fluctuations passed by, and the dazzling golden light filled everyone's eyes.
The bricks and tiles are painted with gold lacquer, the pillars are smeared with gold powder, the floor is inlaid with gold flakes, and even various daily utensils and architectural furnishings are made of pure gold. The entire hall is magnificent and looks like a golden fortress.
If it weren't for the word "Turin" written in Dwarven on it, everyone would have thought they had broken into a dragon's lair.
However, this also shows how crazy the dwarves are about gold and treasure.
As the light of the teleportation array went out, Ivald, the chief of the Durin tribe, came forward excitedly:
"Lord Holo, you are here? Please come in!"
Hearing the voice, Loen looked over and found that after not seeing him for a hundred years, the beard and hair of this old acquaintance had turned white with time, his back was hunched, and his physique was no longer as strong as before. His face was covered with wrinkles, and his eyes were full of sorrow and fatigue.
Only the crown on his head, inlaid with seven gems, sparkled in the sun, emitting a brilliance more dazzling than gold.
Are you already the king of the seven dwarf clans?
However, it seems that this dwarf king is not sitting in an easy position.
Loen sighed inwardly, then followed the dwarf king into the magnificent hall.
At this moment, dozens of people had already arrived in the hall, vaguely divided into five factions. They were talking to each other in secret, and there was an invisible sense of boundaries between them.
Accompanied by the Dwarf King, Holo led the six people to sit down.
Afterwards, she took the initiative to introduce the composition of the five factions at the venue to everyone.
First, he is the representative of the local forces of the Dwarf Kingdom and the leader of the seven major Dwarf clans.
The seven dwarfs sitting side by side in the front are them. They and the Chamber of Commerce jointly initiated this pre-war meeting.
However, due to the Dragon Disease, the Seven Dwarf Kings will not personally participate in this expedition, but are willing to provide full compensation and forge the necessary weapons and equipment for everyone.
Second, the Immortal Palace faction.
In front of the steps, the tall and thin young man in a loose robe with a powerful and magnetic voice, who was talking with his companions, was named Bragi. He was from Asgard, the son of Odin and the giantess Grod, the god of wisdom, poetry and eloquence, and one of the twelve main gods.
Next to Bragi is a tall and strong man with long hair, a mouth full of golden teeth, white skin, sharp and far-sighted eyes, a sword and a horn on his back. His name is Heimdall. He is the son of the God King Odin and nine sea goddesses, the gatekeeper of Asgard, and one of the twelve main gods.
And in the corner, the silent and burly man with a sword and shield on his back, as steady as a mountain, is named Tyr. He is the god of war and courage, as well as the guarantor of the contract, the guardian of the oath and the representative of glory. He is also one of the twelve main gods of Asgard.
The three are half brothers and have a harmonious relationship.
In addition, more than a dozen Asgardian guards gathered around these three main gods, together forming a dragon-slaying team from the Aesir realm.
Third, the Vanir.
At the front left of the hall, the young man wearing a crown, with blond hair shawl, handsome face, and exuding the scent of plants and sunshine is named Frey, formerly a prince of the Vanir, now the god of abundance, prosperity, love and peace, and one of the twelve main gods of Asgard.
Behind him was her elder sister, the Valkyrie Queen Freya, one of the twelve main gods of Asgard.
A dozen robed Said wizards and Vanir warriors gathered around them, guarding their former prince and princess, and secretly competing with Asgard's dragon-slaying team.
But since there were three main gods of the Aesir, one more than the brother and sister Frey and Freya, the Vanir were slightly lacking in momentum.
However, they have backup.
They were three tall male elves with pointed ears. They had a graceful temperament and wore flower crowns on their heads. Behind them were a group of elven warriors.
This is the fourth one, another group of allies of the Dwarf Kingdom, the three elven kings from Alfheim, who rule the three major light elf tribes of Vanya, Noldor and Sindar respectively.
Due to their nature of being close to nature, they are very close to Frey, the god of fertility. The two sides are vaguely integrated with each other, and they confront the dragon-slaying team from the Aesir from a distance.
As for the fifth, it is a rather strange combination.
Leading the group was a cold beauty with red eyes, purple hair, and two meters tall wearing snow boots. She was dressed in a purple and white combat hunting suit, with a small magic wand made of cen wood inserted into her waist. She exuded a cold and chilly temperament that kept strangers away, like a snow lotus blooming on the top of a mountain.
Next to her, a young girl with long brown-black hair was yawning boredly, as if she was not used to such a long meeting.
At their feet, a brown and yellow orange cat was lying on the sunlit floor, licking its paws comfortably.
Luo En's gaze fell on the cold beauty with red eyes and purple hair, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
——Skadi?
Why is she here too?
Then, Luo En shook his head and looked at the hall where hidden dragons and crouching tigers were, feeling a little amused.
The three main gods of the Aesir, the two main gods of the Vanir, the three kings of the Elf Kingdom, the seven kings of the Dwarf Kingdom, and Holo, the current leader of Midgard...
Among the nine Nordic kingdoms, except for Helheim where Hela is located, almost all the top forces have come to the stage.
As the former world overlords, how could the giants not come and join in the fun?
It seems reasonable for Skadi to attend this meeting on behalf of the giants.
And finally, it was the team from the atrium.
Apart from anything else, he can slice the three giant dragons into dragon sashimi in different ways.
In addition, there is the evil goddess Rose, the battle wizard Gandalf, the daughter of time and space Ciri, the elf queen Galadriel, and a more mysterious witch Belle of Cyd...
so……
Lorne looked around the venue, and finally looked at Holo who was chewing an apple:
"Are you sure we are going to slay the dragon instead of attacking the Golden Palace?"
"Can you say that? If old man Odin's ravens hear you, we won't be able to protect you."
Holo rolled her eyes at Lorne beside her and snorted,
"Don't worry, you heard it right. This mission is just three upper dragons."
"But with this lineup, even if the Black Dragon King Nidhogg came, he would probably have to lie down, right?"
Ciri was astonished when she learned the identities of everyone present. She looked at the legendary gods and heroes in the venue with curiosity and awe, like a little rabbit who accidentally stumbled into a dinosaur park.
Unlike Ciri's excitement and excitement, Lorne's face showed a rare seriousness.
There is indeed something fishy about this dragon disaster.
However, what kind of answer is worthy of the joint efforts of the top forces of the nine countries?
Lorne was becoming more and more curious.
Just as he was organizing his thoughts in his mind, he felt a tall figure pressing closely against his back.
The close distance made Loen feel a little uncomfortable. He subconsciously moved to the left, and the figure behind him also moved to the left.
Loen was stunned and turned to the right. The figure behind him followed him synchronously, like a thorn in his side.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Loen looked at Galadriel who was cowering behind him and couldn't help but complain.
"Don't move, help me block it!"
Galadriel tugged at the corner of Lorne's clothes at the back of his waist, lowered her voice and begged for help, refusing to look up the whole time.
What?
Just as Luo En was in a daze, several elegant figures walked over from the front:
"Are you also from the elf race?"
Galadriel shuddered and huddled behind Lorne even more nervously, muttering to herself:
"You can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me..."
Looking at Galadriel who was acting like an ostrich behind him, and the three elven kings and the god of fertility Frey who were walking towards him, Lorne laughed in silence and immediately understood what the future elven queen was afraid of.
Galadriel has the royal blood of the three tribes of light elves. The three elven kings in front of her and the elven warriors beside them are mostly her parents, uncles, and brothers and sisters.
She had just run away from home when she ran into a bunch of relatives. It would be strange if she wasn't nervous.
