In the hall, I could only feel the ground shaking outside, and there were also many dragon clansmen's exclamations.
After a while, Chen Rui walked in with a satisfied look on his face and patted the dust on his hands.
"Oh?" Pargoris's eyes became more interested: "Have you finished talking to him?"
"Yes, he lost 'reasonably'." Chen Rui spread his hands, "According to the agreement, Stanwell should apologize in public and compensate all property. But what he said at first was right. The conflict between him and Aunt Melia was just
It is inconvenient for me, an outsider, to intervene in the internal affairs of the Dragon Clan and how to resolve them. The decision-making power should be left to Your Majesty and Aunt Melia."
Pargoris looked surprised. This approach was tantamount to giving up the results after winning. Although it seemed like a loss, it took into account the face of the Dragon Emperor and even the entire dragon clan. It was a clever way of retreating in order to advance.
The method, just from Melia's point of view, is more rewarding than asking Stanwell to apologize and compensate directly.
"It turns out that it's not Laura who is 'one of the most talented', but you." Pargoris took a deep look at Chen Rui, "The youngest grandmaster, the youngest demigod, or someone else in history.
What I don't know... I have a feeling now, that is, I am ignorant. When did mankind have such a peerless person like you? I didn't know until today."
Pargoris's burning gaze passed over Isabella, and his brows raised slightly.
Chen Rui noticed the change in the Dragon King's eyes and smiled calmly: "Cooperation is not about begging for mercy or charity. As both parties, the stronger the better, right?"
"Not bad." Pargoris nodded and said, "Please sit down."
Melia suddenly spoke: "Before His Majesty and Richard discuss cooperation, I want to say one thing first."
"Originally, I wanted to report this matter to Your Majesty before the Elders' Meeting was held. However, I happened to learn the news about Laura, so I hurried to reunite with my daughter and was delayed. I would like to apologize to Your Majesty in advance."
"It doesn't matter. This feeling is completely understandable."
"Your Majesty, the original intention of the Presbyterian Council was to assist the Dragon King, brainstorm ideas, and allow the Dragon Clan to move forward in a more stable situation. Over the years, it has been playing an extremely important role. The Dragon Valley has its current scale and development, and the contribution of the Presbyterian Council is
It is obvious to all. But everything has its pros and cons. As time goes by, we also see some shortcomings. What I want to specifically explain here is the issue of the powers of the great elders. Since the original intention of the presbytery is to gather the strengths of everyone and avoid one
That is wrong, then the Great Elder should not have the highest arbitrary power. I suggest that the power of the Great Elder be decentralized. Part of it is integrated into the power of His Majesty the Dragon Emperor, and part of it is distributed to each elder. Each elder has the right to vote and make decisions.
Quan, the position of Great Elder is more about being the highest spiritual assistant. The focus of the function is to promote the implementation of the Dragon King's decisions, train new people, etc."
As soon as these words came out, the elders were in an uproar. This was tantamount to directly dispersing the supreme power of the great elder to each elder. Not only did the status of all elders and actual power be further improved, but from the perspective of the Dragon King, the decision-making power was also further improved.
The original power of the Great Elder has been greatly reduced.
The light in Pargolis's eyes flickered violently for a while. He took a deep breath and said, "Great Elder Melia, let me ask you a rude question, are you serious about what you said?"
"These are my sincere words," Melia looked directly into Pargolis's eyes. "They are also what I have always envisioned. Now, as the Great Elder, I formally propose it to Your Majesty for your permission."
"If I remember correctly, the authority that the Great Elder has today should have been further enhanced by the former Great Elder, your teacher Neil Ins. Before his death, Great Elder Neil Ins specially designated the Great Elder as a wèizhi.
I left it to you, but now you..."
"The teacher is dedicated to the Dragon Clan and has no selfish motives for specializing in it. God can learn from this." Melia said categorically: "The world is constantly developing and progressing, and Dragon Nest must adapt to this environment and continuously adjust and improve.
In order to keep up with the pace of the times. The Dragon Clan needs a more united and harmonious leadership. Internal fighting or sticking to old rules will only make us stagnate or even regress. Let the Dragon Clan always stand proudly at the pinnacle of the world. This is also
This is also the teacher’s original intention.”
Pargolis stood up slowly and bowed solemnly to Melia: "Great Elder, please accept my highest respect. I also apologize for some misunderstandings I have had. I swear by the Dragon God that as long as
As long as I, Pargoris, reign, Great Elder Melia will always be the leader of the Presbyterian Church, the guide of the Dragon Clan, and my good mentor and friend."
Meliya also returned the gift, and this resolution was naturally unanimously approved by all the elders (except for a certain "brother-in-law" who was away), and the originally delicate atmosphere suddenly became harmonious.
Chen Rui nodded secretly. The mother-in-law's move of retreating into advancement was much more beautiful than his previous one. With the son-in-law's "power", he not only pulled out the biggest thorn in the Dragon Emperor's heart, but also improved his own status.
From being in danger to becoming unbreakable, the Dragon Clan will also be more united. This is a win-win result. He is worthy of being the supreme elder who has controlled the Presbyterian Church for many years.
"Great Elder, I will leave all the negotiations and cooperation with Richard to you. I believe you will bring results that satisfy me." A sly look flashed in Pargolis's eyes.
"Your Majesty, you...seem to be a little unkind." Chen Rui's expression froze. Melia was not Laura. From her previous insistence on returning to the Holy Spirit Peak, it can be seen that the responsibilities and interests of the tribe are in her heart.
The problem is, with the mother-in-law here, it will definitely be difficult to wield this bargaining knife. How can you negotiate the price?
"Melia is the number one figure in the Dragon Clan after the Dragon Emperor. Do you think she can't represent me?" In Chen Rui's eyes, Pargoris's smile had the potential to be a profiteer. No, it was a profiteer.
"Um... of course not! Aunt Melia is definitely qualified!" Chen Rui changed the topic: "By the way, I would like to apologize to Your Majesty first. When we were negotiating with Elder Stanwell just now, our words were a little awkward.
Both parties are in their prime of life, and as a result..."
The elders of the dragon clan on the side were quite speechless. It doesn't matter if you are still full of blood. Stanwell is tens of thousands of years old and is still "full of blood".
"If necessary, you can talk to him again." His Majesty the Dragon Emperor replied seriously, leaving the elders even more speechless. "Even if you want to really call him brother-in-law, it's okay. His sister Luo Lan is a famous beauty in the Dragon Clan.
I can introduce you to them."
This time it was Chen Rui who was speechless. He finally understood that no matter whether it was the demon world or the earthly world, the dragons were all thick-skinned, especially the thick-skinned ones. He had just sent his mother-in-law to negotiate, but now he was doing it in front of his wife.
I pimped him out.
Feeling the sharp gazes of Laura, Isabella, Meliya and Spann, Chen Rui wiped the sweat from his forehead and changed the subject again: "Someone seemed to say that Laura was not suitable for marrying someone other than the Dragon Clan?
"
"Who said that?" Pargolis said angrily, "Tomorrow you will hold a wedding! From now on, you will be the son-in-law of Dragon Valley. Who dares to mess with you?"
Chen Rui: "..."
Chen Rui then thought about it and pointed to his aunt: "This Miss Isabella is also my wife."
"No problem! The three of us will hold a wedding together! I will be your witness!" Pargoris suddenly showed a strange smile: "For the dragon clan, there is no difference between demons or humans, there are only friends and enemies. And I can
I promise that all the elders present, including your soon-to-be brother-in-law, will not say anything unnecessary to anyone."
Pargolis really discovered Isabella's identity! Chen Rui was heartbroken.
"Actually, your wife's method of concealing her breath is extremely good. If the Holy Dragon wasn't extremely sensitive to the dark breath, she would hardly be able to detect any traces. Well, let me give her a pseudo-god-level sacred scale.
She can change her appearance and hide her dark aura so that even false gods cannot see through it, and...if she can fully integrate the power of the Holy Spirit in her scales, it will be no problem to advance to the kingdom."
A silver scale appeared in Isabella's hand, glowing with crystal light. As soon as the scale was in hand, it turned into a mark and sank into Isabella's forehead. A crystal mole suddenly appeared between her eyebrows, which looked unique.
Has charm.
The sacred scales of the Holy Dragon are extremely rare, equivalent to the essence of power, and can halve the damage of ordinary light magic. For Isabella, who has absorbed the Snowdale Flower, it will undoubtedly get twice the result with half the effort.
Reese's favor was not a big deal at all.
"What other requests are there?" His Majesty the Dragon Emperor looked at Chen Rui with a smile, "I will try my best to satisfy you, but whether it is for the brother-in-law, a wedding, or the sacred scales, the Dragon Clan has made great efforts and shown enough sincerity. Cooperation is
It’s from both sides, and it’s sincerity. I believe that during the negotiations with the Grand Presbyterian Council, Lord Richard will make some comments."
Chen Rui secretly cursed "Sincerity, sister." Apart from the sacred scales, the wedding is just a formality. As for the brother-in-law... forget it, I still don't want your sister.
"If you have no more requests, then I have a more personal question to ask." Pargoris' eyes fell on Pagliu.
"This... must be Poison Dragon. I would like to ask, is he also from the same place as Miss Isabella?"
"Yes, this is my brother, Pagliu." Anyway, Isabella had been exposed, so Chen Rui simply said it frankly.
"The poisonous dragon...and the poisonous dragon from the demon world..."
As soon as these words came out, several senior elders seemed to have thought of something and showed strange expressions.
The strange look in Pargolis's eyes made Uncle Poison Dragon hairy. Just when Chen Rui was worried about the dead duck dragon's anus, the Dragon King suddenly threw something.
"Pick it up and try it." (To be continued...)
ps: I arrived in Guilin at 1 o'clock last night. I had insomnia at night. I drank some wine tonight (I usually don't drink alcohol) and I felt dizzy. I can only try to update as much as possible in the past two days.
