I, Lich, Can Raise a Dragon [Western Fantasy] - Chapter 33
Humans built palaces on the plains, dwarves hollowed out the veins to place the palaces in the heart of the mountains, the elves’ sanctuary was located above the canopy of trees, and the dragon’s palace was located on a huge island suspended in the air.
The dragon empire is mixed with many races, most of which live on the ground, while the dragons as a royal family live on large and small floating islands according to their ethnic groups. The floating islands are several kilometers away from the ground, and they are close The dragon race, which is born with wings, can come and go freely. If other races want to go to a certain floating island, they can only rely on the flying boats that are special products of the empire. trouble.
As a result, it was a long and arduous process for the royal messenger of the Shia Empire to send the invitation letter.
This invitation letter was issued first, but arrived last.
The messenger raised the letter above his head tremblingly, that’s it, not even a paw as high as His Majesty Dragon Emperor.
That’s Dragon Emperor! The dragon, who has lived for thousands of years, can’t stand still with trembling legs just standing in front of him, okay? However, in the end, he still preserved the dignity of human beings, and tremblingly said the contents of the invitation of the Shia Empire completely, and the messenger felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his life.
The Dragon Emperor moved the tip of his claws and asked the human waiter in the temple to send the messenger away.
“Go and call some princes and ministers, I have something to announce.” Longdi commanded after watching the messenger leave.
“Your Majesty, are you in the main hall?” The waiter was a little confused. There are many other races in the minister. If the Dragon Emperor keeps the prototype…
Either the minister was deafened by the dragon emperor, or the dragon emperor moved his tail and swept all the ministers.
“Go to the Chamber.” Longdi shook his wings and transformed into a human form.
The human-shaped Dragon Emperor is a middle-aged man with a height of two meters above him. He is dressed in gold ornaments and looks shining.
No way, the aesthetics of the dragon clan… that’s it.
Having said that, why are you only now in human form?
“I was polishing the scales, the messenger of the Shia Empire was about to come in anxiously.” Longdi also complained: “I don’t know what to worry about. What if I wait a few more days?”
The racial gap is impossible, and the concept of time is very problematic.
The human waiter slandered silently while stepping back to make arrangements.
There is a transmission crystal in the Dragon Empire, and the attendant is not difficult to convey the Dragon Emperor’s orders. Three hours later, everything that should be there is all there.
After more than an hour, the Dragon Emperor was long overdue.
“The North Border Joint Military Defense Conference will be held in Xiya. Prepare to send an envoy to participate in it.” Longdi first said to the ministers and asked the attendants to hand over the information brought by the messenger to the responsible officials.
“The other thing is, Xia finally has a father-in-law to do the bar mitzvah.” He turned to his sons: “You, understand?”
The eldest son pretended to be deaf indifferently. The second son smiled gloomily without saying a word. The third prince shook his head honestly: “I don’t understand, Father.”
The four princes and the fifth princes were still one or two hundred-year-old cubs, but their eyes lit up when they heard: “Father! Is it possible to grab the princess?”
Longdi looked pleased: “Yes! I finally waited for this day!” The Shia Empire has not had a princess for three generations, so he has waited for two hundred years!
As soon as this statement came out, all the officials and ministers who were not the dragon tribe looked at each other.
What kind of ghost is in the noble mind of His Majesty Dragon Emperor? !
The attendant explained painfully to the nearest human prime minister: “Oh… this is not easy to say… Legend has it that your Majesty’s dream when he was young was to marry a princess… but he had his first son before he succeeded…”
So, is this transferring the ideal of Longsheng to his son? The prime minister’s expression became more and more difficult to express, and he got up and saluted: “Your Majesty, the ministers will retire first.” He felt that after a while, the image of His Majesty Dragon Emperor will be defeated sooner or later.
“Go, go, remember to sort out the list of the envoys, I’m just overwhelmed.” Dragon Emperor hurried people happily.
All the officials of the non-Dragon clan retired in a big way, and in a flash, only the Dragon Emperor and a few princes were left in the wide conference hall.
“Small four and small five have not yet reached adulthood.” Long Di looked at his grown-up sons: “But! You have to explain to me!”
The three princes shook their heads again and again: “Father, what are you kidding? Can the princess of the Shia Empire be able to grab it?”
The dragon emperor’s expression changed, and he no longer looked like four or six in front of everyone: “If I say, I want one of you to marry the princess?”
Several princes looked at him in surprise, and the eldest son said first: “Are you worried about the instability of the alliance between the empires?”
“Almost.” The Dragon Emperor sighed: “Although the Dragon Empire was established thousands of years ago, it made a permanent peace agreement with the Shia Empire, but the time has passed for too long, and Shia’s royal family is not. People from the original line are now, and this contract has less and less constraints on human beings. Today’s cooperation also relies on the Northern Territory and the orcs as common enemies.”
If this is not the case, there may be a generation of Shia emperor who will tear up the treaty and attack the Dragon Empire.
“This princess can share a long life with the dragon. For thousands of years, Xia will take care of the dragon family and their royal blood.” The Dragon Emperor explained.
The third prince looked strange: “Isn’t this a long-term hostage? Can the Shia Empire agree?”
The second prince yin and yang gave a weird smile: “Of course it can, Xia is not without heirs now.”
The Emperor Long glanced at him complicatedly: “Yes, the current emperor of Xia sent a letter alone, which means something like this.”
“When does the dragon need to marry with humans to protect itself?” the eldest son of the emperor said coldly: “It’s really good. In a few hundred years, maybe the dragon can still dismantle the bones and scales for a continuation of the race.”
After hearing his irony, the Dragon Emperor was not too angry: “This is also a helpless move. The magic weapons of mankind are becoming more and more tyrannical. After a few hundred years, when the orcs cease to exist, they can put the vast resources of the dragons. Not moving with the site?”
The dragons are not without arrogance. After all, they are the race most favored by the gods at the beginning of the world. It’s just that the crazy killing thousands of years ago defeated the confidence of the proud ones of the past. Although the dragon empire was established, it will always be Lingering shadows.
Tiny humans can study sharp spears and crossbows. Why don’t the arrogant dragons learn to guess people’s hearts?
“The emperor father is right, brother emperor, as the first candidate for the throne, you should take a longer-term view.” The second emperor persuaded from the side.
The eldest son didn’t even look at him, and asked the Dragon Emperor bluntly: “What benefits does the Shia Empire want to sell this princess?”
“This…” Longdi was particularly embarrassed: “The mining rights of the two magic spar veins and the border trade tax has been reduced by 20%.”
“Very well. In this way, the raw materials for magic weapons are available, and the business is completed. Do you still expect a princess who has been sold to guarantee peace between the two countries?” The eldest son of the emperor took a deep breath: “Father, you can promise. , Maybe after the orcs are repelled this time, Shia will go to war on the Dragon Empire.”
“Brother Emperor, the sincerity of the Shia Empire is already well understood.” The second prince said bitterly: “The father is also considering the future of the dragon clan. How can you oppose it for a little selfishness?”
The emperor’s eldest son hadn’t figured out where his selfishness came from, and the Emperor Long suddenly realized: “Hey, can’t you forget that person?”
The eldest son of the prince: “…” No, he really has amnesia.
“Didn’t you say that she will not be reincarnated, then what are you waiting for?” Long Diyu said earnestly, “More than three hundred years have passed.”
“Maybe, I’m waiting.” A woman’s brilliant smile flashed in his mind.
He didn’t remember any reincarnation or not, or how many years he had waited. He only knew that what he saw when he opened his eyes was her vivid appearance.
The Dragon Emperor was silent for a while: “So you have made up your mind not to marry Xia’s princess?”
The eldest son glanced at his younger brothers, and said indifferently: “Who wants to marry him, it’s just that I have to discuss with Xia about the veins, and I can’t just let it out.”
“What about you?” Long Di looked at his second son: “It’s the same if you are willing to marry.”
The second prince rolled his eyes, and said with difficulty: “Father, I am not the first in line, and Xia might not agree.”
After the dragon’s crown prince succeeds, his brothers and sisters will generally be named princes. In fact, the princess of Xia is not considered to be married as a prince, but…
“I don’t know what the identity of the person the emperor will marry in the future. If it is a princess higher than Xia, it will be fine. If not, I am afraid that the princess will be embarrassed.” The second prince considered it very well.
But if you think about it carefully, how many women have a higher status than the princesses of the Shia Empire in terms of blood lineage alone?
“…This matter needs to be considered.” The Dragon Emperor said at last: “However, this time the coming-of-age ceremony of the Princess of the Shia Empire, all three of you will go.”
The three adult princes looked at him in surprise.
Dragon Emperor added: “Also, this time the Northern Territory Military Defense Alliance meeting, the three of you are going to also. During this time the orcs have been idle for a long time, I don’t know if there will be any big moves.”
“Of course I will go to the military defense meeting,” the eldest son frowned slightly: “But the princess’s coming-of-age gift—”
The Dragon Emperor interrupted him: “After I come back this time, I will announce the order of succession to the throne.” He took a deep look at the eldest son of the emperor: “You…you must think carefully.”
Although he seems to be a man of life, he has injured his origin earlier, and he has a much shorter life span than the ordinary dragon clan. If he decides his successor earlier, he can prevent future civil unrest.
The princes were shocked when they heard the words, but they could only say yes. The Dragon Emperor watched them leave one after another, and couldn’t help sighing.
Among his sons, the eldest son is the most intelligent, but he is guilty of minor things, while the second son is exquisite, but too scheming. The third son is kind, but not assertive enough. The remaining two are still young. Can’t see the xinxing.
“Don’t worry about it.” Long Di sighed with emotion.
Leaving in front of the Dragon Emperor, the second prince was too lazy to pretend: “If you don’t marry the princess of Xi’a, can you still be the heir?”
The emperor’s eldest son glanced at him inexplicably: “What gives you the illusion that you can inherit the throne by marrying a princess?” The Dragon Emperor never said that from beginning to end.
Second prince: “…” Isn’t the meaning of Dragon Emperor not obvious enough?
“The person I like is a million times better than an empty vase father.” A smile crossed his eyes: “Don’t think that your thoughts can be concealed by the emperor-the so-called letter from the emperor Shia. Actually, it was sent by their prince. The mineral vein trade was negotiated privately by you. If I’m not mistaken, you still want him to support your succession.”
The second prince suppressed the panic in his heart and forced his composure: “It’s nothing but nothing, you have no evidence.”
“It didn’t happen at all.” The eldest son of the emperor shook his head: “It seems that I didn’t guess wrong, you really planned it privately.”
The second prince is going crazy: “You just fooled me by guessing?”
The prince’s eldest son looked at him sincerely: “I’ll just talk about it casually, it’s you who have to respond.”
“…” The second prince turned around and left, and then he was afraid that he was not trying to shake up his plan.
The three princes approached cautiously: “Emperor brother, didn’t you have no interest in the throne?”
“It didn’t exist before, but now it’s different.” He looked at the second prince’s frustrated back: “Someone told me that you can let go, but others may not let you go.
So I am back. “
The author has something to say:
Sang Ni: You say again who is the vase?
Long: I am not! I do not have! You listen to me to explain!
