Who told him to rush up there?.

Being in the Kingdom of Dragons and having His Majesty the Dragon Emperor personally send a dragon to invite you, no matter who you are, no one would refuse this honor.

What's more, Eli already had plans to pay a visit to His Majesty the Dragon Emperor. Now that he sent a dragon over first, it saved them the trouble of finding a way themselves later.

"His Majesty the Dragon Emperor sincerely invites you, so my wives and I dare not refuse. Mr. Decar, please come in."

Since he had the intention of marrying someone else's daughter, the old Dragon Emperor might become one of his father-in-laws, so Eli had to show the minimum courtesy.

"Mr. Eli, ladies, please follow me."

Upon hearing this, Dekar quickly made a gesture of invitation and asked Eli and others to go out and get in the car. They had already prepared a dragon carriage outside the hotel. Of course, the Dragon Kingdom would not use giant dragons to pull carriages, but ground dragons. In terms of style alone, it was still better than a horse-drawn carriage.

Eli had ridden in a dragon carriage before, but the big elf and the three small elves had never ridden one, so he found it quite novel at the time.

After they all boarded the dragon cart, the earth dragons pulling the cart slowly began to move. Because there were often transformed giant dragons changing size everywhere outside, the roads in the Dragon Valley were built particularly wide and solid, so even huge earth dragons could run on them without any problems.

The Royal Palace of the Dragon Kingdom was not built in the center of the Dragon Valley, but in the deepest part of the city, built along an entire mountain range. If we ignore other things and only talk about the scale of the building, the Royal Palace of the Dragon Kingdom is even larger than the Royal Palace of the Dawn Empire.

But there is nothing much to say about this. After all, the size of the dragon itself is there. If the palace is built too small, then a saint-level or even demigod-level dragon can crush countless buildings with one transformation.

Eli and others sat on the high dragon carriage and admired the scenery along the way. It must be said that the Dragon Valley was indeed prosperous, with characteristic buildings of various races lined up side by side and the streets crowded with people. If one did not know that this was the imperial capital of the Dragon Kingdom, one would even think that this was a museum of hundreds of races.

If the Elf Empire is closed and xenophobic, then the Dragon Kingdom is open and inclusive. The two top empires on the continent have completely different styles, but they also have one thing in common, that is, they are extremely rich.

It's just that the Elf Empire is rich but low-key. They don't spend lavishly on food, clothing, or other daily necessities. They live in tree houses and tree holes, and they don't like gold, silver, or jewelry. The Dragon Kingdom is just the opposite. All dragons, from ordinary dragons to noble dragons and even royal families, are of the same character. They behave like nouveau riche.

They live in luxurious palaces, eat the best meat of lambs, and even sleep with gems and gold coins as pillows. Although they are all very rich, even comparable to goblin merchants, most of them are misers. Apart from the absolutely necessary expenses, they can be said to be very stingy.

Of course, not all dragons are like this, otherwise the business in Dragon Valley would not be so prosperous. There are also knowledgeable people among the dragon clan. They are not satisfied with the slow increase of gold coins, so they learn to do business like goblins and humans. It’s true, because most of them have strong capital and the specialties of the Dragon Kingdom are extremely rich, many dragons have become prosperous.

Among them, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor is the largest business tycoon in the Dragon Kingdom. He is not only the highest leader of the entire Dragon Kingdom, the most powerful legendary demigod, but also the richest dragon in the Dragon Kingdom.

The most important thing is that the Dragon Emperor's wealth is not due to the power of the emperor to levy heavy taxes, nor is it due to his absolute strength to rob and plunder. His money is earned bit by bit. For example, 70% of the several commercial streets in Dragon Valley today are his industries, and he has shares in another 20%.

If we only talk about the royal treasury, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor may be richer than the Emperor of the Dawn Empire. Of course, this is only in terms of money. If we talk about rare treasures, the Dawn Empire is stronger. After all, they have the most and best magic equipment casters in the entire continent.

Sitting on the stable dragon carriage, Eli was surprised at the sight of the harmony of hundreds of races in the Dragon Valley. He had never been to the Dragon Kingdom in his previous life, and only knew a little about it from rumors. Now that he had really arrived there and seen the real situation, he had to admit that there must be a reason why the increasingly declining dragon race could still rank among the top three on the continent.

With sighs along the way, the dragon carriage successfully arrived at the outskirts of the Dragon Palace. The huge palace was built against the mountain and was majestic. Because the Dragon Emperor was rich, even the outer part of the palace was built quite magnificently. Perhaps if one tenth of it was cut out, it would be enough to build a palace for a kingdom.

But Eli was in no mood to appreciate the Dragon King's wealth, and he had even less interest in the palace. The purpose of his trip was just to see Princess Thor of the Dragon Clan, and he didn't care about anything else.

After all, the old Dragon Emperor, the tycoon of the continent, is different from Lina, the richest woman of the continent. After he cheated the latter, he could borrow her resources, but the former is the king of a country, and it is impossible for her money to be used to arm the army of his Dawn Empire.

The dragon carriage stopped here and did not move forward any further, because the dragon clan is a race that is extremely particular about bloodline, and earth dragons and sub-dragons are not allowed to enter the dragon palace.

Eli and his four elven wives were guests personally invited by His Majesty the Dragon Emperor, so they were naturally allowed to enter. However, the area of ​​the dragon palace was not comparable to the large wooden houses of the Elf Empire. Following Dekal who was leading the way, they wandered around in this palace city that seemed to be built for giants for a long time before they arrived at the palace complex where His Majesty the Dragon Emperor was holding a banquet.

Considering the size of the Eli humans, the palace in front of them is a huge monster. It feels like even tens of thousands of people can squeeze in. But if it is used by the dragon itself, it would be difficult to stuff twenty imperial dragons in there.

"Mr. Eli, ladies, please come in. His Majesty the Dragon Emperor has arranged a banquet for you all."

Once here, even Dekar is not qualified to enter. Although he is also a royal family member and a powerful holy dragon, the lowest-ranking people in this palace are dragon princes. He, a mere earl, has no qualifications to have a feast with them.

Upon hearing this, Eli took his four elf wives and stepped onto the steps of the giant palace. When they entered the palace together, they saw His Majesty the Dragon Emperor sitting high on the throne.

At this time, the old man was transforming into a human form. From the outside, he looked like a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. In addition to him, there were more than a dozen giant dragons accompanying him in the hall. Most of them also looked human. Only two giant dragons exuding the aura of demigods maintained their original forms. Their raised dragon heads almost touched the ceiling of the palace.

Seeing Eli and the four elves, who seemed so tiny in their eyes, walking into the palace, the humanoid dragons were fine and all showed friendly smiles, but the two demigod dragons narrowed their huge eyes and had unfathomable expressions on their faces.

"Eli Bruno of the Dawn Empire greets His Majesty the Dragon Emperor."

"Lily Elena from the Elven Empire greets His Majesty the Dragon Emperor."

"Luna Elena of the Elven Empire greets His Majesty the Dragon Emperor."

"Clea Adrian from the Elven Empire greets His Majesty the Dragon Emperor."

"Wendy Elena from the Elven Empire greets His Majesty the Dragon Emperor."

If it was in the past, Eli should have used the words "Meet" when greeting the Dragon King, but now he is different. Although the Dragon King is of a very high generation, Eli, who is of the same generation as him, only needs to use the words "Meet". The same goes for the high priest. As for the three little elves, their identities at this time are not just the younger generation of the elves, but Eli's wives, so naturally they perform the same etiquette as their husbands.

"Hahahaha, no need to be so polite. Eli, please take your seats. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

The middle-aged-looking Dragon Emperor laughed heartily, then directly invited Eli and the others to sit down. The dragon race was born rough and heroic, and was considered the least polite race among the major empires. Eli himself was actually the same, and did not like red tape, and it was better to be straightforward in doing things.

"Then I will obey your command. Follow me."

As he spoke, Eli led his four elf wives straight to the top seat on the left side of the hall and sat down. This was the seat reserved for them by the Dragon Emperor. It can be seen that although it looks rough on the surface, it is still carefully arranged.

"Eli, can you drink?"

Seeing that Eli and the others had already taken their seats, the Dragon Emperor, who was sitting on the throne, raised his wine glass... or rather, his wine bowl, and asked Eli a question.

"For this kind of bowls, there are probably about a thousand of them."

As Eli spoke, he signaled with his eyes to the high priest, who understood and filled his glass with wine. Then Eli also raised his wine bowl high and matched it with the bowl in the Dragon Emperor's hand from a distance.

"That's good! If you can't drink well, the old man won't like it, hahahaha..."

After the Dragon Emperor finished laughing, he picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp. Eli followed suit and drank up all the wine in the bowl. He actually didn't like drinking that much, but his physique was there. It was an understatement to say that he could drink a thousand bowls without getting drunk. In fact, even if he really drank ten thousand bowls, it would be nothing for him.

"The peerless genius of the human race, a prodigy that appears once in a thousand years, the best person under demigod, good! Very good! No wonder Thor was able to take a liking to you despite the distance of thousands of miles and without even meeting you."

After drinking a bowl of wine with Eli, the Dragon Emperor put down the bowl and without any official jargon or other words, he went straight to the topic of his daughter, Princess Thor.

As for such a father-in-law, Eli really likes him. He is most afraid of those who beat around the bush in their words and deeds. They may not say anything straightforward after talking for a long time. It is better to be straightforward. Everyone knows why you invited me, and you also know why I came. Then just say it directly. This is the best.

"But now you are no longer the number one person below the demigod... After a trip to the Elf Empire, you have been promoted to a demigod, and you can sit on an equal footing with this old man. Now, if I marry my daughter to you, I feel like I am taking advantage of you."

The Dragon Emperor was very direct in his words, without any beating around the bush. He started discussing the issue of marriage right after he mentioned his daughter. It was obvious that when he first sent Dikar to invite him, he had only considered it at most, but now, it was obvious that he was ready to marry his daughter off directly.

All those tests and considerations became nonsense after Eli was promoted to demigod. If Eli, who was half a step to demigod, could make it willingly give him a princess in marriage, then the real demigod Eli would almost make it eager to give him a princess.

This is nothing more than what the elves did at the beginning...

Demigods! Even the Dragon Kingdom can't even find ten of them. And he's not just a demigod. He's not even twenty-one years old yet...

There has never been a demigod before the age of twenty-one, and it is unlikely that there will be one in the future.

With such a terrifying talent, not only has no one been born who can surpass him, but it is impossible to conceive at all...

The Dragon Clan must establish a relationship with such a person if there is any possibility. It has come to this point. No person or dragon will have the slightest doubt about Eli's ability to become a god. If he cannot become a god, then the entire young generation of the continent will no longer have any hope of becoming a god.

"I was able to break through to the demigod level thanks to the kindness of the Lady Goddess of Life. It is not my own achievement. Thank you, Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor."

Upon hearing this, Eli waved his hands repeatedly, refusing to admit that it was the result of his talent. After all, without the extra blessing from the Goddess of Life, his promotion to demigod would be delayed by at least a year and a half, or at most three to five years. He dared not forget the great kindness of the Goddess of Life and attribute this breakthrough to his own talent or hard work.

"The blessing of the gods is a major reason, but if you don't have that kind of talent and the realm that matches it, you won't be able to break through even if you are directly infused with divine power. Eli, you don't have to be humble in front of me. We dragons don't care about this."

The Dragon King drank another full bowl as he spoke. He had previously learned from Dekar everything that happened at the elven ceremony. Although he couldn't understand why the Goddess of Life favored Eli so much, since the almighty Lord God valued him so much, it proved that his choice was indeed correct.

"It's not that I'm being modest. I should always remember the gift from the Goddess of Life."

Eli asked the high priest to fill his bowl with water, then he bowed to the sky from afar and drank it all in one gulp.

"That's right. The kindness of the gods cannot be forgotten. I will always remember the protection that Lord Dragon God has given to my clan... Hmm? I was so busy talking to you that I forgot Thor is not here. Come on! Go and call Princess Thor! Ask her to pour wine for Eli..."

The Dragon King, who was drinking and talking, saw the high priest of the elven tribe, who was supposed to be high and mighty, obediently pouring wine for Eli. He frowned and quickly ordered the guards outside the hall to call Princess Thor.

Although the high priest is not a demigod of the dragon clan, how could such a dignified master be troubled to do such a trivial matter as pouring wine? That being is of the same level as him. Although the dragon clan does not like complicated etiquette, they cannot treat the real guests poorly.

What's more, it has already decided to marry Thor to Eli, so it would be most appropriate for her to pour wine for her future husband.
