Heart of the Castle

Chapter 593 Meeting the Ancient Dragon King Tree
Samar hadn't been away for a long time, and when he came back, his face softened a little. "Please come with me, Her Majesty the Queen is summoning you all now." He said in a firm tone, but in the ears of everyone, it felt that it was much stronger than the hypocritical politeness just now.

Although the lounge is located next to the royal hall, the mission group followed behind Samar, and after going through a winding corridor of nearly [-] meters, they came to the gate of the magnificent hall.Four guards stood on the left and right sides of the gate, two of them were high elf silver Pegasus knights with mithril equipment all over their bodies, and two were wild elf war dancers with intricate and strange tattoos on their upper bodies.

Samar made a gesture towards them, and the four guards turned around and pushed open the door, presenting the center of power of the Elf King Court in front of everyone.

This well-known and noble hall is in the shape of a circular arc. The dome and walls are made of the purest and most flawless white marble. The construction methods of ancient dwarf craftsmen and the magic pattern carving skills of ancient elf craftsmen are perfectly integrated. The entire hall does not use a single support column or beam, but it has gone through thousands of years of wind and frost, and there has never been even the smallest crack.

The dome of the hall is particularly spectacular, with various precious gemstones inlaid on the dome to create magnificent creation myths. At the same time, these pictures are also very clever magic pattern array hubs, combining the magic pattern on the outer layer of the Evergreen Tower, Form a war fortress integrating offense and defense.If anyone underestimates this tower because of the luxurious appearance of these pictures, as long as they think about it, during the Dragon War hundreds of years ago, the Evergreen Tower was attacked by dozens of dragons one after another , but did not suffer any damage until the end of the war, you should understand how superficial this view is.

There is a relatively raised platform in the center of the royal hall, on which are placed side by side two equally exquisite and complicated thrones, one of which is finely carved with rose crystal, and an elf is inlaid on it with green sapphire. The image of the gemstone, the material of the other is the opposite. The main material is green corundum, and the surface is inlaid with rose crystal to form a roaring dragon head.

Two imposing elves sit on these two thrones respectively.The appearance of the elf woman on the rose throne is almost the same as that of Marquis Osiris, but she is more beautiful and feminine. She wears a golden head ring inlaid with emeralds on her head, and her long hair hangs down like a waterfall of molten gold. And down, meandering over her shoulders.The temperament of this elf woman is so graceful and luxurious, and her eyes are so benevolent and compassionate, there is a kind of sacred aura that cannot be possessed in this world.Li Wei even had an illusion when he saw it just now. What he was facing was not just an elf queen, but the goddess of life, the gentle mother of all things and the goddess of salvation, Elara the merciful.

The elf on the Green Jade Throne is the most charismatic person Li Wei has ever seen. He has a perfect face that cannot be left behind by the years. smell.Compared with ordinary elves, his figure is unusually tall and burly, wearing a simple but elf-style green robe, except for a golden wrist wheel on his right hand that faintly exudes powerful magic power, there is nothing on his body that can be called something to decorate.

Undoubtedly, these two elves on the throne are the supreme ruler and decision-maker of the Moonwhispering Forest—His Majesty the Elf Queen Sonata Alhana Arya and the Emerald Dragon King Zhanqing Augustus.

Except for the two supreme kings, there are no other people's seats in the court hall. The members who are eligible to participate in the court council are either the patriarch of the high elf family or the leaders of other intelligent populations in the Moonwhispering Forest. High and low, all can only stand in the palace of the royal court, and they have become three camps that cannot be integrated like oil and water.

The just-concluded topic was obviously not easy. The atmosphere in the royal hall was rather dignified. The sound of the door opening almost attracted everyone's attention. Li Wei, who had just entered the royal hall, paused slightly, and he could almost feel people coming from all directions. His eyes rest on the weight of his body.

"Guardian of the entire Kingdom of Arthur, head of the important ministers, head of the Northern Griffin Knights, and the regent Lord Liviston!" The Marquis of Osiris announced loudly in the common language with a high elf accent, and immediately aroused excitement around the royal palace. There was a murmur of surprise.The patriarchs and leaders whispered to each other, some were surprised by the return of the former crown prince who had been sentenced to exile, while others were surprised by this string of prominent titles, but due to the particularity of the elves, a long-lived race, no one took Li Wei's name seriously. What an astonishment at such a young age.

With the help of the voice of the Marquis of Osiris, Li Wei reorganized his mood, met those surprised eyes, and strode into the palace of the royal court.The elf commoners and wild elves silently made way for him, while the high elves frowned, especially when they saw that there were dwarves, orcs, and werewolves among the kingdom's envoys. They all showed unconcealable disgust.

The two kings sitting on the throne saw the kingdom envoys enter the hall as a matter of course, but their performances were different. The Elf Queen stood up lightly and made a welcome gesture; while the Emerald Dragon King sat on the Green Jade Throne He didn't move, and only cast his eyes as cold as ice on the figure of Levi Stone.

No one can ignore the sharp gaze of the legendary emerald dragon king Zhanqing Augustus, and of course Li Wei can't do it. When Augustus' gaze falls on him, the kind of direct heart The fear even made Li Wei feel like he should kneel down and beg for mercy.But he forced himself to resist the fear and took another step forward.

There was a unique sense of deterrence in the eyes of the Emerald Dragon King, Li Wei gritted his teeth, angrily forced himself to calm down, and continued to move forward.However, fear has soaked through his blood, making him feel that the thing flowing in his body has no trace of heat, but liquid ice, and then the heart...

That sense of fear suddenly disappeared near his heart without warning, and Li Wei found that his underwear had been soaked in cold sweat, and he felt wet and cold, but compared to just now, it was nothing.Then the young griffin lord continued to move forward step by step, with seemingly leisurely steps, until he approached the center of the royal palace.

A slight astonishment flashed in Augustus' eyes. He knew very well that the power he used just now was just staring at him fiercely, but in fact he had already used the power of the dragon as a dragon.He originally wanted to use this method to make Li Wei's legs weak. Whether it made him sit on the ground or make him unable to move forward, he could kill the vigor of the Human Kingdom's mission and make the ensuing negotiations change. It's easier.

The Emerald Dragon King once guessed that his little trick was resolved by the other party. Whether it was to relieve fear or heroism, this type of magic could resist his incomplete version of Longwei Gaze.However, as soon as the magic light and shadow effect came out, he could use it to mock those humans who were overly vigilant, which was also a result of gaining the upper hand.

It's a pity that his idea came to naught in front of Li Wei. That young human being actually resisted the effect of Longwei's gaze with steely willpower, which made Augustus feel a little admiration in his heart.

As a legendary powerhouse, he is no longer aware of the effect of his little trick. Even his son, the nearly adult Qingjin Paislav, can't resist it head-on... "Could it be that this human has some kind of treasure? "This thought flashed across the Emerald Dragon King's mind like lightning, and then he couldn't help laughing.

The power that can stop the legendary strong man can only be possessed by the legendary strong man. Since the opponent can easily resolve his Longwei gaze, it means that this human kingdom does have a strong enough guardian.Or the Seraph with the lightsaber of Dawn, or... a god?
A few drops of cold sweat dripped from Augustus' forehead, and he suddenly regretted his temptation.Perhaps many legendary powerhouses are not very respectful towards the gods, because in their view, after crossing that threshold, they are already very close to the gods, only differing in power accumulation.Even some legendary powerhouses have become so arrogant that they call themselves gods.

However, the Emerald Dragon King has a deeper understanding of the power of the gods, and the life span of the dragon family is longer than that of elves and dwarves.For human beings, the dragon war hundreds of years ago may have become a certain record in historical books and the poetry material sung by bards in front of the stove, but for these long-lived races, it is the source of life. An experience in the middle of the day, and those unforgettable things are still vivid in my mind.

Augustus witnessed with his own eyes the scene where Lagrange, the co-lord of the dragon clan and the most powerful golden dragon king in history, fell on the fault of the sky.According to legend, His Majesty Lagrange was besieged by dozens of legendary powerhouses of various races before he fell. Only Augustus knew that it was a piece of nonsense. Of course Lagrange could not defeat dozens of legendary powerhouses, but It is not difficult to break out of the encirclement with the advantage of speed, after all, the dragon is known as the overlord of the sky.Even dragons with low IQs like green dragons and white dragons have the ability to soar in the sky at will, and it is very difficult for ordinary legendary powerhouses to catch up with them.

The golden dragon king Lagrange died at the hands of a god, and that god, whose whole body was wrapped in flames, didn't care about Lagrange's powerful dragon's breath, and rushed up against the red-golden pillar of fire. With a flash of sword light, the Golden Dragon King spilled blood into the sky.

Although both the legendary strongman and the king of giant dragons, the Golden Dragon King Lagrange is the co-lord of the dragon clan. He has been in the legendary realm for hundreds of years and has accumulated a lot. He is known as the legendary strongman who is closest to the gods.In the era when Lagrange ruled the world, the Jade Dragon King Zhanqing Augustus was just a dragon egg waiting to be hatched.Until the time of the Dragon War, Augustus was still a juvenile dragon, which is why he was able to avoid the brutal slaughter.

It is conceivable that when Augustus guessed that there was a god standing behind Leviston, how terrified he felt.The Emerald Dragon King had no memory of getting up to greet him, but when he woke up from his own thoughts, he found that the high platform and the Green Jade Throne were behind him at some point, and the young human was right in front of him.

"I salute you, mighty king." Li Wei knocked on the breastplate, his movements fully conformed to the standards of knight etiquette, but there was a slight surprise in the tone of greeting.The arrogance and hostility of the Emerald Dragon King at the beginning was not beyond his imagination, but his subsequent actions were to stand up to greet him, and even step down from the high platform, which made people feel confused. "I am the head of the Arthur Kingdom's mission, and I am also the guardian of the kingdom, Levi Stone."

It was too late to turn around and return to the throne now, so Augustus had no choice but to return an elf boob ceremony stiffly, "I am the king of the emerald dragon clan, Zhanqing Augustus." His The tone was cold and polite, obviously deliberately suppressed, "I welcome you on behalf of the emerald dragon family, the envoys of the human kingdom, and welcome you to this magical land that no one has visited for a long time."

Seeing the Emerald Dragon King stand up unexpectedly to meet him, even the Elf Queen couldn't help showing a surprised expression on her face, not to mention the other people in the hall, eyes full of surprise, puzzlement, doubt and excitement gathered from all directions , the expressions of those high elves were even more ugly, and even the face of the sun chanter turned slightly pale.

Usually the dragon's power cannot be accurately controlled, and the spread is quite wide. However, Augustus, who has reached the legendary level, will not have such a problem. The dragon's power gaze is almost all concentrated on Li Wei's body, even if it is Marquis Osiris and Sir Rodriguez beside him didn't feel anything strange either.

This was especially true for the rest of the Kingdom Mission, who only saw one of the two elf kings on the high throne stand up to greet them, while the other stared at Li Wei with icy eyes.However, in less than half a minute, the elf man who had shown a reserved look suddenly stood up to greet him without warning, and even stepped off the high platform.

This standard performance of exaggeration and respect is simply chilling. Others just laughed silently in their hearts, but Li Wei's attendant knight Grun Worm was young and energetic, and he couldn't help showing a sneer expression on his face.

"Is this what a legendary strong man looks like?" He whispered to Sir Grace beside him, "Then the legendary strong man is too worthless?"

Sir Grace's complexion was not as relaxed as his. Keen perception is an ability that every sharpshooter must have. As a prestigious sniper archer, Sir Grace could faintly feel a sense of aura from the Emerald Dragon King. There was such a terrifying sense of deterrence that he needed courage to look directly at the opponent's figure.

"Grunworm, be careful with what you say. Your Majesty the Dragon King is very strong...very strong..." Sir Grace reminded him in a heavy and difficult tone, "I am afraid that no one in the Kingdom Mission is his opponent, even if It is impossible for Sir Rodriguez or Marquis Osiris..."

Glenn Warm looked suspiciously at the Emerald Dragon King who was greeting Li Wei, but at least he understood that he should not refute Sir Grace's judgment. The sniper archer is not only older, but also has extremely accurate eyesight. There will be no major discrepancies.

"That's right... Sir Grace, I was reckless just now." After apologizing softly, the young attendant who felt bored looked around, and soon found another thing that interested him in the crowd.

The architectural style of elves is very different from that of humans. Square shapes are rarely seen, but are replaced by arcs and curves. Many places reflect a natural beauty, but one of the most basic functions of houses is to cover To shelter from the wind and rain, the buildings of the elves must also meet the needs of this basic function, and it is impossible to create a house without a roof and a floor.

The Royal Palace of the Evergreen Tower also follows this rule, with a magnificent dome and a white marble floor that makes people unbearable to step on. A tall, stocky shrub that looks very lush, with pleasant green leaves.

"It's really a family of elves who love nature. There are even potted plants in the palace of the royal court." Grun Worm couldn't help but muttered, and then reached out curiously, wanting to push aside the thick green leaves to see one time. "What kind of plant is this potted plant? Is there any fruit growing?"

"Wait a minute, that's..." Marquis Osiris turned his head inadvertently, just in time to see Grunwalm's movement, and hurriedly opened his mouth to stop it.But it was too late, and Grunwalm's finger had touched one of the leaves.

"You are the potted plant, and your whole family is a potted plant!" A shrill and thin voice yelled angrily. Grun Worm was startled, and his outstretched hand retracted like lightning, and subconsciously pressed it On the waist sword hilt.

"Well, don't... be angry, he... didn't... mean it." A deep and slow voice sounded, mixed with the rustling sound like the wind passing through the woods, and then the creature who was mistaken for a potted plant Turn around slowly.Grunwalm opened his eyes wide in surprise, because he saw a long and melancholy face facing him, his mouth was squirming like a knife mark, making a sound.

"Hello... Human, I am... the elder of... the ancient tree clan... Mo Ni Mo Ni Mo Ni, I am willing to... serve you."

Grunwalm swallowed subconsciously, "Sorry, Moni, Moni... Elder, I thought... Father God..." He shook his head in disbelief, not knowing what he should say something to do.

But Elder Mooney didn't seem to mind, he stretched out his right arm towards Grunwalm - it looked like a branch full of green leaves. "It's...it doesn't matter, human... I'm used to being misunderstood, it's not bad to be regarded as a... potted plant... Once, a bad-eyed... wild bear man almost...took me for... ...the tree stump, I want to use an ax...to chop it back...for firewood."

Grun Worm forced himself to restrain himself, and was able to suppress the urge to laugh into a decent smile. He lightly shook Mooney's outstretched hand, only to realize that this Elder Mooney was indeed not a potted plant, because the hand Although it looks like a branch of a certain plant, it is actually dry, warm and elastic.But even so, the elder ancient tree looked like a strange dwarf tree, its gray-green skin was rough and cracked, and it was no different from the bark of a holly tree.

"Hmph, human beings are so hypocritical. They want to laugh so much that they want to die, but they insist on holding it in their intestines, and they are not afraid of getting sick." The shrill voice came from Moni again, but this time Grenwald Tom could see very clearly that Mooney's mouth didn't move, and he couldn't help showing a surprised expression.

"What are you looking at? Be careful to stare out your eyeballs!" The voice continued, and then the leaves on the side of Moni's head moved, and a small head with green hair poked out from below, very delicate. The little face was full of impatience, "Human, haven't you seen a flower elf?"
