Chen Rui and the other four followed Stanwell out of the palace. Laura thought for a moment and asked, "Elder Stanwell, I have something to ask you."
"Please tell me." Stanwell looked extremely respectful. Laura was not an ordinary elder, but one whose strength far surpassed His Majesty the Dragon Emperor. She was the well-deserved number one person in Dragon Valley, not to mention that there was someone even more powerful behind her.
Unfathomable, he actually defeated Raphael's man!
If that "brother-in-law" sentence came true... Stanwell secretly smiled bitterly, but Lorraine had a very bad impression of "Richard". Let alone whether the other party liked his sister, he really wanted to sell his sister for glory, but he still couldn't do it.
out.
Laura didn't know Stanwell's wild thoughts and asked: "Why did my mother Melia make such a request before? Also, when His Majesty Pargolis mentioned Aunt Sophia and the golden ambergris, there seemed to be some
Weird, what’s the secret behind this?”
"There is indeed an unspeakable secret here." Stanwell nodded: "Elder Laura, when you escaped from marriage, uh... it has been more than 20,000 years since you left Dragon Nest to experience. It is natural for what happened in Dragon Nest during this period
I don’t know. In fact... it was during this period that a very unfortunate thing happened to Her Royal Highness Sophia."
"Unfortunate thing?"
Stanwell sighed and spoke.
In fact, although Laura's departure at that time humiliated Elder Perlin, this incident did not cause much follow-up repercussions, because soon afterwards, the good news of Queen Sophia's pregnancy came out in Dragon Nest. It is quite difficult for dragons to conceive.
What's more, both Pargoris and Sophia are super powerful. This is a great joy for both the Holy Dragon Clan and Dragon Valley. That child will probably become the next Dragon King.
In comparison, Laura's escape from marriage seemed insignificant. The only people who were anxious were Spann and Melia, who were looking for the missing Laura.
Sophia, who was a mother for the first time, was very excited. She made many baby clothes and toys with her own hands. She also worked hard to find the rarest golden ambergris. She carefully planted it as a gift for her children in the future.
The Dragon King Pargoris, who was still the peak demigod at that time, was so excited that he accidentally glimpsed the way to condense the pseudo-godhead. It was a double happiness. Pargoris immediately chose to retreat. Anyway, it takes a long time for the descendants of the dragon clan to be born from pregnancy.
The time can range from a few years to ten years to a hundred years or even longer.
However, in the third year of Pargoris' seclusion, a major event occurred in the Dragon Valley. A Holy Dragon elder named Regnar took advantage of the Dragon King's seclusion and the great elder Meliya was out with his daughter to launch a coup.
This coup is not an ordinary power struggle, but a terrifying battle to control or even destroy the entire Dragon Valley. Regnar is a fallen person infected by evil power - this is exactly the same as what happened in the Emerald Forest back then.
The dark hand is the abyss.
In the fierce battle, Sophia was seriously injured and almost died. Fortunately, Melia rushed back in time after hearing the news, rescued Sophia, and led the remaining dragons to resist Regnar and the Fallen. At this time, Pargoris finally succeeded in advancing to the false god level.
Guan, killed Regnar and Treason in one fell swoop, and put an end to the catastrophe. Unfortunately, although Sophia's life was saved, the little life in her belly was annihilated.
Pargoris was extremely angry about this. During the subsequent battle against the Yunteng Empire, which was infected by the abyssal forces, Pargoris ignored the "demigod contract" that restricted super-level powerhouses from attacking ordinary people, and personally
He took action and destroyed seven cities in a row. Later, Gabriel, who was still a member of the Church of Light, took action to stop Pargoris.
Sophia couldn't bear the blow of losing her child. She almost collapsed. During those days, she didn't eat or drink every day, she just cried while guarding the golden ambergris originally prepared for her child.
In the years that followed, Golden Ambergris became Sophia's last refuge, and she was cared for as if she were her own child. Until now.
After Stanwell said this, Chen Rui fell silent immediately. He never expected that this golden longan flower had such a story. For Sophia, it was no longer a simple plant, but a child, and the sustenance of all thoughts and maternal love.
No wonder Pargolis would refuse his "any exchange conditions", and no wonder Melia would still ask for it after Lola showed the strength of the peak pseudo-god.
Alice's eyes were red. She lost her mother when she was very young. She didn't even leave any impression in her mind. She could only vaguely picture an outline from her sister's description. Now that she heard about Sophia, she couldn't hold back her tears.
The residence fell down.
Laura held Chen Rui's hand tightly, inexplicably thinking of her parents' sadness and anxiety after she ran away from home. Lalalia, who had been calm and composed when facing the Dragon King just now, also lowered her head and remained silent.
In this time, we have arrived at Baiyu Palace.
The appearance of this palace looks much simpler and simpler than expected, and there is no guard or maid. Pargoris and Sophia are a couple who share the same sorrow. Although they have married other wives, the position of the queen has not changed.
Pass. The reason why the White Jade Palace is like this is because after that unfortunate incident, Sophia dismissed all her attendants and stayed in seclusion for many years. She just wanted to stay here alone to accompany the golden ambergris.
However, Pargoris placed powerful dragon language inscriptions on and around the gate, and outsiders were generally unable to enter without Sophia's permission.
Stanwell came to the gate and said respectfully: "Your Highness Sophia, I am here under the order of Your Majesty Pargolis."
After a while, the inscription array at the door disappeared, and Stanwell led everyone into the door and all the way to the garden behind the palace.
Compared with the simple facilities of the palace that I saw before, the garden looks lush and green, and the plants are obviously carefully cared for. In front of it is a thin-faced woman wearing white clothes. Her silver hair and golden eyes belong to the Holy Dragon clan.
His temperament is also quite extraordinary, but his hair that should have been blazing and glowing appears gray and dull, and his original beauty and grace are covered up by a haggard look.
On the ground behind her, there is a plant about half a foot tall that is particularly conspicuous. Among the jade-green branches and leaves is a beautiful pale golden flower, full of spirituality and vitality.
Golden Ambergris!
With such a close target, that woman is only the first stage of demigod. And her combat power has obviously declined greatly. Not to mention Chen Rui or Laura, even Lalalia can easily seize it, but none of the three people moved.
, not only because of Melia’s previous instructions. But also because of the story Stanwell told.
"Your Highness Sophia." Stanwell bowed. Sophia saved his life back then. Although Stanwell's strength has surpassed Sophia by a small level, he still maintains heartfelt respect every time they meet.
"Elder Stanwell." Sophia returned the salute and looked at Chen Rui and others: "I wonder what your Majesty wants you to convey?"
Stanwell hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "I am under your Majesty's order..."
Before Stanwell could continue, Chen Rui suddenly interrupted: "We are just some uninvited guests who want to pay a visit to Her Highness Sophia."
"This is..."
"Aunt Sophia, do you still remember me?" Laura said: "I am Laura from Rainbow Peak. I remember when I was a child, you often took me to the mountain to dig bamboo shoots and watch the rainbow after the rain."
"Are you Laura, the daughter of Elder Melia?" Sophia looked surprised: "I remember, didn't you leave Dragon Valley at the beginning? It seemed that you were escaping from marriage..."
Stanwell said: "Um... Your Highness Sophia, Elder Laura returned to Dragon Nest a few years ago. His Majesty Pargoris even presided over her wedding in person."
"Elder?" Sophia looked even more surprised.
"Elder Lola was praised by His Majesty as the number one genius in Dragon Valley..." Stanwell paused, and finally did not say the title of "the number one strongest".
"It's great that you can come back safely. Welcome home, Laura." Sophia smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, aunt has not left here in these years and has not participated in any activities, so she cannot attend your wedding."
When Sophia said this, Laura felt even more guilty and quickly shook her head to express that it didn't matter.
"By the way, these are..."
"This Lord Richard is the husband of Elder Laura, and this Highness Lalalia is the next Dragon King of the Demon Realm. This Highness Alice is the lord and first princess of the largest territory in the Demon Realm."
These few sentences revealed a lot of information, and Sophia couldn't help but be even more surprised: Laura's husband? Stanwell's attitude seemed to be extremely respectful? And... the next Dragon King of the Demon Realm? The lord of the largest territory in the Demon Realm? They are all little girls.
?
Why are people from the Demon Realm... coming to Dragon Valley? Then this Laura's husband must be related to the Demon Realm, or perhaps a person with a great background. What is surprising is that Pargoris would actually agree to this marriage and
Officiating the wedding in person?
Chen Rui nodded to Sophia: "I usually do a lot of research on plants, and I heard that Her Highness Sophia is also a member of the same group. So I took my two younger sisters and followed Laura to visit the White Jade Palace. Please forgive me for my rudeness."
Sophia looked at Laura, then at Chen Rui, and nodded: "Your Excellency Richard, you also like plants?"
Chen Rui nodded, and colorful mist floated in his hand. Several plants had appeared on the ground, and they were actually "planted" directly in the soil, as if they were born in this garden.
"This is blue papyrus, this is magic pomegranate sapling..."
"These plants are all special species from the demon world, right?" Sophia glanced at Chen Rui deeply: "They are simply incredible. It is impossible for storage equipment to store such vibrant plants. Is this... a false god?
A level of deputy national power?"
Chen Rui felt the deep meaning in Sophia's eyes. Her Royal Highness the Queen was obviously a very smart woman. She had already vaguely inferred her level of strength from Stanwell's respectful attitude, and she was not distracted by the power of Rainbow Garden. So, she
I'm afraid the purpose of the group's visit cannot be concealed...
Sophia's eyes fell on Stanwell, who seemed a little reserved. She was suddenly silent for a moment and said sadly: "Is it his order?"
There was a touch of sadness in this voice. Stanwell did not dare to meet Sophia's eyes and lowered his head: "Yes."
Sophia sighed: "The person who gave off that powerful aura just now must be Mr. Richard. Even in this isolated corner covered with inscriptions, one can clearly feel the overriding pressure.
What can attract such powerful people to a small place like mine is this golden ambergris."
Stanwell lowered his head and said: "In fact, it was Elder Laura who gave off that aura of power."
Sophia was shocked, looked at Laura in surprise, and then smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that the little girl back then has grown into such a strong person. With your strength, even if you don't force Pargoris to abdicate, you still have to get this ambergris.
It’s also easy.”
"I'm sorry, Aunt Sophia." Laura felt even more sad.
"Then..." Sophia's body suddenly started to tremble slightly, "You can take it away."
These words almost used up the last of her strength, and Sophia's whole body seemed to be shaky.
