Chapter 294 "Candle Dragon Emperor"

night.

The first mountain and sea, the imperial capital, the imperial city.

Surrounded by the tall city walls of blue-gray, painted with vermilion and purple gold, it looks like a huge palace complex that lingers on the vicissitudes of the ancient years.

From time to time, it can be seen that modern buildings with unusual styles are mixed in, but they do not feel out of place at all. Instead, they are connected by a strange bond, making them blend in harmony.

And located in the southeast corner of the imperial city, stands a tall tower with a strange shape.

The whole body is glazed, blue and cold.

The two corners are curved like a crescent moon.

Its name is "Moon Terrace", and it is the place where the supreme monarch of the empire observes the stars and worships the moon.

But at this moment, on the wide platform, surrounded by silk and bamboo, people are drinking and drinking.

Surrounded by the graceful sound of fingers, which seems not like the music of the world.

The most amazing thing is that on this platform, there is a special ritual called "stargazing" described by the Imperial Research Department, which makes this platform have the ability to penetrate the fantasy world to a certain extent.

As long as you are on the platform, you can observe the changes of "astrology" and "moon phase" at any time.

And because except for the night of the new moon, the platform is always filled with moonlight.

Therefore, this platform also has a name, "the place where the moon never sleeps".

A poetry meeting held by the current Emperor of the Empire is underway.

Today, half a month has passed.

A group of men and women in decent clothes sat at the bottom of the platform, all sitting in awe-inspiring manner, as if there was delicious wine and food in front of them, the full moon above their heads, the picturesque scenery, and the sound of fairy sounds, but they couldn't arouse their interest at all.

The fact is exactly the same, no matter who sits in this place for more than half a month, he can't do anything except reciting poems, comprehending poems and appreciating poems, and he will also get bored with the scene in front of him.

This poem will last a little too long.

However, no one present questioned this matter.

Because, now the emperor of the empire is sitting on the highest throne of the platform, enjoying the moon and poetry with the old president of their "Moon Chanting Poetry Club"...

They didn't know what kind of poem it was that allowed these two people to appreciate it for so long.

But if the people present can come here, it is obvious that there will be no brains in it.

So this look has continued until now.

Suddenly, one or two slight coughs came from the highest part of the platform.

It made everyone dare not look directly at him, but they still couldn't help but use the corner of their eyes to secretly look at him.

Through the gap of the curtain made of glazed beads.

The whole body was shaped by glass, and the seat area reached an astonishing two square meters. On the throne, a young man in a white velvet coat was sitting on a blanket covered with white fur, his body curled up slightly.

His body doesn't look strong, even a little thin, but judging from his exposed skeleton, he is definitely not short.

Pale face flushed because of coughing, handsome face, but with a bit of sharpness like a frost sword, red eyes, half-white hair, put together, but it gives people a look like a fairy descended into the world. , a sense of majesty that dare not look directly.

He is the current emperor of the empire, named "Zhi De".

It means supreme virtue.

Of course, it's okay to just listen to this name.

After all, since the founding ancestor of the empire, this generation of emperors has been passed down. It is difficult to say other problems, but the problem of self-proclaimed moral role model is more serious than the other.

For example, the previous generations of "Emperor Virtue", "Emperor Daode", "Emperor Dade", "Emperor Shengde", and now "Emperor Zhide".

All in all, since a hundred years ago, the head of the Ministry of Rites of the Empire went bald in order to think of a name for the emperor, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites who took office later became more and more shameless, and dared to use any name.

And if it is a formal occasion, to address the emperor, it may also add prefixes such as holy and brave.

Of course, in private, when the people present were addressing the emperor, they preferred to use another title - "Emperor Candle Dragon".

From the second mountain and sea, a name given by a foreign race who studied imperial classics.

"There is a spirit at the end of the chapter, with a human face and a snake body, it's dark when you close your eyes, and it's bright when you open your eyes..."

This title came from the lessons of blood and fire during the Second Mountain and Sea Conquest, which has been vigorously advanced since the "Emperor Zhide" came to the throne 51 years ago.

And the more practical price is that one-tenth of the continental plates of the Second Mountain Sea have sunk directly...

And at this moment, sitting opposite the Candle Dragon Emperor is an old man with white beard and hair, with wrinkled face, drowsy eyes, half-closed eyes, sitting crookedly on a sandalwood chair, wobbly, of course he is worried. The old man will fall off his chair at some point, and then go straight to the west with a fart.

It just so happens that there are wine and food in front of me, and I can eat directly even at the table.

"Mr. Zhang, the moon is very round today." Emperor Zhulong coughed for a while, and then said slowly.

There was a sense of maturity in her voice that didn't match her appearance.

This is also normal, although from the outside, their Candle Dragon Emperor, except for the half-white hair, is completely young.

But his real age is actually over seventy.

As the emperor of the empire, Emperor Zhulong naturally would not lack any life-extending panacea.

Even the Yueyue Poetry Club offered him a lot of spring water of immortality condensed by the essence of Yuehua.

With the accumulation of these miraculous medicines, even ordinary people with poor qualifications can prolong their lives by tens or hundreds of years.

However, when it came to Emperor Zhulong, these panacea seemed to be the same as the previous emperors of the empire, and their effectiveness was weakened to the point that none of them survived, even his physical weakness could not be changed.

However, in addition to prolonging life and improving physical fitness, the beauty-preserving effect of the Fountain of Youth was well preserved in Emperor Zhulong.

Decades have passed and her face has not changed, only her half-white hair reveals the vicissitudes of time.

"Your Majesty is wise," the old man raised his head tremblingly, squinting at the moon that almost covered their heads, "Today's moon is indeed very round. Counting the days, it should be fifteen."

"It's fifteen, ahem." Emperor Zhulong said slowly.

Everyone in the audience pricked up their ears to listen to the conversation between the two, but it was extremely uncomfortable to hear.

The speech speed of these two guys is extremely slow, like two Alzheimer's patients, having a difficult communication.

What they said was all dispensable nonsense, but although the people in the audience felt uncomfortable, they definitely didn't dare to think so.

Instead, I feel that these two guys are playing some tricks.

As for whether it is or not, no one dares to ask.

I can only sit like this, watching the two people look at the full moon above the platform, chatting with each other.
