Dragon Valley is not a valley, but a collective name for a huge mountain range. Unlike the giant dragons in the Dragon Island of the Demon Realm, which live on separate islands, the dragon lairs in the Dragon Valley are all relatively close to each other, and the clans are more closely related.
The core of the Dragon Valley is the Holy Spirit Peak in the central mountain area. This is a huge mountain that needs to be looked up. It towers into the clouds and looks majestic.
This is the ruler of the Dragon Valley, where the palace of the Dragon Emperor Palgoris is located.
The palace of the dragon clan is completely different from the feeling of the elves who want to be so beautiful and exquisite that their hair is more majestic and that... "popular".
The so-called "popularity" is the feeling of nouveau riche. Even every inch of the material on the ground is a valuable treasure.
In the palace, a routine meeting of elders is being held.
The convening of the elders meeting is a major event for the Dragon Clan. Under normal circumstances, it is held every five thousand years. The Dragon Emperor and all the elders will attend. It is mainly to discuss the changes in the personnel of the Dragon Clan, discuss future development, and vote to decide some important affairs.
Personnel changes include the promotion of elders, the selection of elites, etc. Today's conference has attracted the attention of more Dragon Clan than before, because it is said that this time the personnel changes are unprecedented.
The former Great Elder Neil Ince's direct disciple and the current Great Elder, Meriya, is likely to step down. Not only that, Meriya has committed countless mistakes in the past 30,000 years as the Great Elder, which can be said to be full of bad deeds, and will be judged by the Elder Council , if the charges are convicted, the Great Elder is likely to face confinement or even exile.
For the Dragon Clan in the Dragon Valley, although the Great Elder Meriya sometimes appears to be very strong and domineering, and sometimes has a lot of evil tricks, which makes many Dragon Clans complain, but as a Great Elder, Meriya is absolutely She can be called competent. I don’t know how many times she has contributed to maintaining and helping the tribe over the years. Almost every dragon in the magic department in the entire Dragon Valley has received more or less guidance from her, and her prestige is extremely high. It's not convincing, but everyone believes that after this meeting of elders, everything will be revealed.
Among the elders of the dragon clan, Stanwell is the most promising to replace Meriya as the great elder. Stanwell is a "newcomer" single-handedly promoted after the dragon emperor Palgoris ascended the throne, and his promotion speed is very fast. In just 20,000 years, he has become the second person in the Presbyterian Church besides Melia—for the Dragon Clan, 20,000 years is really nothing, just like a person who has no foundation and has been in politics for less than ten years. The guy actually held the important position of deputy prime minister.
Everyone understands that behind Stanwell is His Majesty the Dragon King. Throughout the ages, there has been a delicate balance between the Presbyterians of the Dragon Valley and the Dragon King. also be constrained. It is a bit similar to the relationship between the king and the parliament in Chen Rui's previous life, but of course this "king" has much greater power.
The current dragon emperor, Palgoris, is a talented and authoritarian type. He has always wanted to lift this constraint and realize his absolute rule. Method, Laura's marriage was one of the means he used to win over the Great Elder Melia.
As a result, Laura escaped from marriage and ran away, and the Elven King beat Palin angrily. Meriya was a very smart person. After thinking about it, she didn't calm down the situation. Palgoris knew the elegant meaning from hearing the stringed songs, not only did not blame Meriya, but also admitted the mistake of "disorderly mandarin ducks", and comforted the Meriya couple more.
The result of this matter was a win-win situation. Melia gained the trust of Palgoris, and the position of the Dragon King was further stabilized. However, the power possessed by the position of the Great Elder can interfere with every major government order. In addition, Meriya has a very high prestige among the dragon clan, which is always a stick in the throat for Palgoris, who has a strong desire for control.
As the saying goes, there is one emperor and one courtier. For 20,000 years, Palgoris has been cultivating his own direct influence, and his confidant Stanwell is the representative figure who emerged because of this.
This time the Presbyterian meeting was the time when Stanwell "showed his sword". To be precise, the one who really showed his sword was the dragon emperor Palgoris who had planned for 20,000 years.
After Melia, Peilin, and Groyas arrived at the palace hall, the elders meeting was officially held.
First of all, Dragon Emperor Palgoris routinely summarized the development of the dragon clan in Dragon Valley over the past five thousand years, and expressed his gratitude to the elders for their support.
After the Great Elder Melia paid tribute to the Dragon Emperor on behalf of the Council of Elders, Stanwell launched an attack, pointing at Melia with a halberd, and listed a series of crimes. Stanwell's attack was expected by the elders. In fact, everyone knows that those so-called "crimes" such as cheating, acting out of control, enriching one's own pockets, and suppressing newcomers are partly caused by Meriya's strength. , but it is more about wanting to add a crime without excuse.
"The evidence for these crimes is solid, and many things have been heard and seen by everyone. I will only give one example." Stanwell glanced at Palin. Instead of apologizing to Palin, he instigated her husband Span to attack him, severely injured Palin, and looted his property! This kind of rampant atrocity is simply heinous! Elder Palin, as a victim, you only need to Say, is there such a thing?"
Palin didn't dare to look at Meriya, but nodded and said, "Yes."
"Great Elder," Stanwell said with a slight smile, "What do you have to say?"
Melia didn't even look at Stanwell, and set her eyes on Dragon Emperor Palgoris: "Your Majesty, do you think so too?"
Palgoris shrugged and smiled without saying a word.
"Stanwell, keep talking." Melia turned her head, looked at Stanwell, and said lightly.
Stanwell only felt that the gazes of the elder fairy dragon pierced his soul like sharp arrows, and he shuddered slightly. He didn't dare to look directly, so he looked away, and continued to speak.
Many of the "crimes" that followed were false and true, and most of those true facts were actually the actions of Palgoris deliberately conniving with Meriya that day, but Meriya did not explain, and the dragon emperor Gergoris never spoke.
At the end, Stanwell finally showed his fangs: "Meriya is no longer suitable to be the elder, and all kinds of behaviors are too bad. I suggest that she be imprisoned for ten thousand years or expelled from the Dragon Valley, as an example to others .”
Whether it is confinement or expulsion, it is considered the most serious punishment, and there is basically no possibility of a comeback. It seems that the Dragon Emperor is determined to bring down the Great Elder this time, but Meriya's prestige is placed here. These years are not only hard work, but the credit is also undeniable. If they were to be punished like this, the elders would feel ashamed, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.
"Your Majesty, I have an urgent matter to report." After Stanwell finished speaking, Groyas came out and said, "The trial site on Storm Island has been destroyed."
"What?" Palgoris frowned, "Who did this?"
Groas looked at Meriya: "It's the son-in-law of the great elder Meriya."
Groas seemed indifferent and taciturn, but he was not a simple-minded person. After the battle on Storm Island, his first reaction was to block the news and forbid anyone to send messages to Dragon Valley, including Palin. It was also Groas' idea that Meriya and others entered the palace at the right time to participate in the elders' meeting. The purpose was to not give Stanwell time to prepare or respond. Retreat to advance.
"It's Meriya again!" Sure enough, Stanwell immediately jumped out to accuse: "This place of trial is very important to the Dragon Clan. It was originally one of the only correct decisions made by Meriya, but unexpectedly..."
"Wait a minute," Palgoris heard a key question, and interrupted Stanwell directly: "You just said, her son-in-law?"
The elders were also aware of this, and the discussion suddenly quieted down, and their eyes all fell on Groas.
"Lola, she's back." Groyas' next sentence shocked the audience: "She defeated Elder Palin."
"Lola... defeated Palin?" Palgoris was taken aback, thinking he had heard it wrong, "Are you sure it was Laura and not... Meria or Span?"
"Yes, it's Laura, and it's a complete defeat." Groas glanced at Palin, "Elder Palin?"
Palin felt the strange gazes from everyone, and wished he could find a hole to go down, but the fact was before him that even if he fought Laura again, it would only make him look worse, and he couldn't deny it, so he just nodded.
"Lola defeated him with the power of lightning that Elder Palin is best at. Everyone, don't laugh at Elder Palin. If it is the same realm, no matter if it is me, Span or Melia, they are all the same as Elder Palin when facing Laura. result!"
Stanwell said in amazement: "You mean, Lola has reached the peak state?"
"It's not just an ordinary pinnacle country! At that time, I was protecting the dragons who participated in the trial in the trial site, and I shot her without knowing it. As a result..." Groas sighed and paused, " Lola took a heavy blow with 70% of my strength without any damage. Elder Palin and all the dragon elites in this trial can testify to this. Lola, I have never seen it. All races Among them, there is no one of the most outstanding geniuses!"
Palin nodded quickly at the side: losing to the most outstanding is not a scandal, especially since Groas has admitted that he himself is not a match for Lola in the same realm.
In just 20,000 years, it has reached the realm of the pinnacle country! Invincible in the same realm! And you can fight even higher!
Three almost "impossible" things, all concentrated on one person!
No wonder Groas used two words, the most outstanding genius! none of them!
Not to mention those elders, even Palgoris was moved. Stanwell didn't expect such a turning point and was stunned for a moment.
"Melia, is this true?"
This effect was exactly what Melia had expected, and Melia smiled lightly: "Compared with other things, I am more happy to be reunited with my daughter. As for strength... Laura is now outside the palace. If you don't believe it, Your Majesty , you can summon her immediately."
"Okay!" Palgoris nodded, "Groyas, bring Laura to the hall immediately, I think, not only me, all the elders are eager to see the most outstanding dragon genius gone."
