The four of Chen Rui followed Stanwell all the way out of the palace. Laura thought for a while and asked, "Elder Stanwell, there is something I want to ask you."
"Please speak." Stanwell looked extremely respectful. Laura was no ordinary elder, but someone whose strength was far superior to that of the Dragon Emperor. The unfathomable man who actually defeated Raphael!
If that "brother-in-law" at the beginning came true... Stanwell secretly smiled bitterly, but Lorraine had a very bad impression of "Li Cha", let alone whether the other party has a crush on his sister, he still can't do it if he really wants to sell his sister for glory. of.
Laura didn't know the unconstrained thinking in Stanwell's mind, and asked, "Why did my mother, Melia, make such a request before? Also, when His Majesty Palgoris mentioned Aunt Sophia and the golden ambergris, there seemed to be some Strange, what's hidden in it?"
"There is indeed an unspeakable secret here." Stanwell nodded: "Elder Laura, you escaped marriage back then, uh... It's been more than 20,000 years since you left Dragon Nest to practice, so of course you don't know what happened in Dragon Nest during this time .In fact...it was during this time that a very unfortunate thing happened to His Royal Highness Sophia."
"Unfortunate thing?"
Stanwell sighed and spoke.
In fact, although Elder Palin was ashamed by Luo La's departure back then, this incident did not cause much follow-up reaction, because not long afterward, the news of Queen Sophia's pregnancy came out from Dragon Valley. It is quite difficult for the dragon clan to conceive, not to mention that both Pargoris and Sophia are super powerhouses. This is a great joy for both the holy dragon clan and the Dragon Valley. Will become the next Dragon King. Compared with this, Laura's escape from marriage seems insignificant. The only ones who are anxious are Span and Meriya, who are looking for the missing Laura.
Sophia, who became a mother for the first time, was very excited. She made many baby clothes and toys by herself, and found the rarest golden ambergris with great pains, and planted them carefully as a gift for her children in the future.
At that time, the dragon emperor Palgoris, who was still at the peak of the demigod, was excited, and accidentally glimpsed the way to condense the pseudo-godhead. The time can be as fast as a few years, and as long as it is full, it can be ten years, a hundred years or even longer.
However, in the third year of Palgoris' retreat, a major event happened in the Dragon Valley. A holy dragon elder named Regner took advantage of the time when the Dragon Emperor was retreating and the great elder Meriya was away from his daughter, and launched a coup d'état.
This coup is not an ordinary power struggle, but a terrible battle to control or even destroy the entire Dragon Valley. Regner is a fallen person infected by evil forces—this is exactly the same as the change in the Emerald Forest back then. The hand is the abyss.
In the fierce battle, Sophia was seriously injured and nearly died. Fortunately, Melia rushed back in time after hearing the news, rescued Sophia, and led the remaining dragons to resist Regner and the Fallen. Guan, killed Regner and the rebellion in one fell swoop, and quelled the catastrophe. It is a pity that although Sophia's life was saved, the little life in her belly was annihilated.
Palgoris was very angry about this. During the ensuing siege of the Yunteng Empire, which was infected by the forces of the abyss, Palgoris ignored the "Demigod Contract" restriction that super-level powerhouses were not allowed to attack ordinary people, and personally With his hands, seven cities were destroyed in a row. Later, Gabriel of the Church of Light stopped Palgoris.
Sophia couldn't bear the blow of losing her child, and almost collapsed. During those days, she didn't eat or drink every day, and just watched the golden ambergris plant originally prepared for the child and cried.
In the years that followed, the golden ambergris became Sophia's last sustenance, and she was taken care of as her own child, until now.
After Stanwell finished speaking, Chen Rui fell silent for a moment. Unexpectedly, there was a story about this golden longan flower. For Sophia, it was no longer a simple plant, but a child, and it was also the sustenance of all longing and maternal love.
No wonder Palgoris would reject his "any terms of exchange", no wonder Melia would ask for that after Lola showed the strength of the peak false god.
Alice's eyes were red. She lost her mother when she was very young, and she didn't even leave any impression in her mind. It was only from her sister's description that she could vaguely outline the outline. Now that she heard about Sophia, she couldn't hold back her tears. Live down.
Luo La held Chen Rui's hand tightly, inexplicably thinking of the sadness and anxiety of her parents after she ran away from home, and La Lalia, who was calm and composed when she faced the Dragon King just now, also bowed her head and remained silent.
After a while, he has already arrived at the White Jade Palace.
The palace looks much simpler and simpler than expected, and there is not a single guard or maid. Palgoris and Sophia are a couple who share adversity. Although they have married other wives, the position of queen has never changed. The reason why the White Jade Palace is like this is because after that unfortunate incident, Sophia dismissed all the attendants and stayed behind closed doors for many years, just wanting to stay here alone with the Golden Ambergris.
However, Palgoris has placed powerful inscriptions in dragon language on the gate and its surroundings. Without Sophia's permission, outsiders are generally unable to enter.
Stanwell came to the gate and said respectfully: "Your Highness Sophia, I am here by order of His Majesty Palgoris."
After a while, the inscription array at the door disappeared, and Stanwell led everyone into the door, all the way to the garden behind the palace.
Compared with the simple facilities of the palace seen before, the garden looks lush and green, and the plants planted are obviously well-cared for. In front is a woman with a thin face and wearing white clothes. The characteristics of the silver-haired and golden eyes are the holy dragons. Her temperament was also quite extraordinary, but her hair, which was supposed to be glowing, appeared gray and dull, and her original beauty and grace was covered by a haggard look.
On the ground behind her, a half-foot-high plant was particularly conspicuous. Among the emerald green branches and leaves was a beautiful pale golden flower, full of spirituality and vitality.
Golden Ambergris!
For such a target so close at hand, that woman is only at the beginning stage of a demigod, and her combat power has obviously declined greatly. Let alone Chen Rui or Laura, even Lallaria can easily capture it, but none of the three of them moved. , not only because of Meriya's order before, but also because of the story Stanwell told.
"His Royal Highness Sophia." Stanwell bowed. Sophia had saved his life back then. Although Stanwell's strength has surpassed Sophia by a small realm, he still maintains respect from the bottom of his heart every time he meets.
"Elder Stanwell." Sophia returned the salute, looked at Chen Rui and the others: "I don't know what His Majesty wants you to convey?"
Stanwell hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I am ordered by His Majesty..."
Before Stanwell could continue, Chen Rui suddenly interjected, "It's just that some of us uninvited guests want to pay a visit to His Royal Highness Sophia."
"Who is this… "
"Aunt Sophia, do you still remember me?" Laura said, "I am Laura from Rainbow Peak. I remember when I was young, you often took me to the mountain to plan bamboo shoots and watch the rainbow after the rain."
"You are Elder Melia's daughter Laura?" Sophia showed surprise: "I remember, didn't you leave Dragon Nest back then? It seems to be to escape marriage..."
Stanwell said: "Uh... Your Highness Sophia, Elder Laura has returned to Dragon Valley a few years ago, and His Majesty Palgoris personally presided over the wedding for her."
"Elder?" Sophia looked even more surprised.
"Elder Luo La was praised by His Majesty as the number one genius in Dragon Nest..." Stanwell paused, and finally did not mention the title of "No. 1 powerhouse".
"It's good that you can come back safely. Welcome home, Laura." Sophia smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, Auntie hasn't left here these years, nor has she participated in any activities, so she couldn't attend your wedding."
When Sophia said this, Laura felt even more guilty, and quickly shook her head to express that it was okay.
"By the way, these are..."
"Master Richard is the husband of Elder Laura, and Her Royal Highness Lallaria is the next Dragon King of the Demon Realm. Her Highness Alice is the lord and first princess of the largest territory in the Demon Realm."
These few words revealed a lot of information, and Sophia couldn't help being even more surprised: Laura's husband? Stanwell's attitude seemed extremely respectful? And... the next Dragon King of the Demon Realm? The lord of the largest territory in the devil world? All little girls
People from the demon world... why are they all here at Dragon Valley? Then this Lola's husband must be related to the Demon Realm, or maybe someone with a great background. What is surprising is that Palgoris would agree to this kind of marriage and personally officiate the marriage
Chen Rui nodded to Sophia: "I usually do a lot of research on plants. I heard that His Royal Highness Sophia is also a fellow, so I brought my two younger sisters to visit the White Jade Palace with Laura. Please forgive me for being presumptuous."
Sophia looked at Laura, then at Chen Rui, and nodded: "Your Excellency Richard also likes plants?"
Chen Rui nodded, and a colorful mist floated in his hands. Several plants had appeared on the ground, and they were actually "planted" in the soil, as if they were born in this garden.
"This is the blue papyrus, and this is the magic grenade sapling..."
"These plants are all special varieties of the devil world." Sophia took a deep look at Chen Rui: "It's simply amazing. It is impossible for storage equipment to store such vibrant plants. Could this be... False god level The deputy power of the kingdom?"
Chen Rui felt the deep meaning in Sophia's eyes. Her Royal Highness is obviously a very smart woman. She has already inferred her level of strength from Stanwell's respectful attitude, and she has not been distracted by the power of Rainbow Garden. The purpose of the group's visit may not be concealed...
Sophia's eyes fell on Stanwell, who seemed a bit reserved, and she was silent for a moment, then said sadly, "Is it his order?"
There was a hint of sadness in this voice, and Stanwell didn't dare to meet Sophia's eyes, and lowered his head: "Yes."
Sophia sighed: "The one who released that powerful aura just now must be His Excellency Richard. Even in this isolated corner full of inscriptions, you can clearly feel that overwhelming coercion. It is this golden ambergris that can attract such a strong person to a small place like mine."
Stanwell bowed his head and said: "Actually, it is Elder Laura who exudes that kind of power."
Sophia was startled, looked at Laura in surprise, and then smiled wryly: "Unexpectedly, the little girl back then has grown into such a strong person. With your strength, even if you don't force Palgoris to abdicate, you can get this ambergris flower It’s easy too.”
"I'm sorry, Aunt Sophia." Laura felt even more sad.
"Then..." Sophia's body suddenly trembled slightly, "You guys take it away."
These few words almost exhausted their last strength, and Sophia's whole body seemed to be crumbling.
