"As we all know, giant dragons are very rich. Even if they don't give away anything, they can eat a good meal for free, and it's worth taking a break in Black Town, right, half-elf?"
In front of the bar counter in Blacktown, people were excitedly talking about this matter. Someone asked Jenkins who was sitting silently, Jenkins nodded immediately and said that he likes things that come for free, which aroused loud approval from the people.
The dragon did not take the princess away by force, but the king of a small country in the distance initiated the marriage for some political purposes. So while Jenkins wondered what it would be useful for a dragon to marry a human, the marriage was indeed perfectly legal.
Except for the "dragon slaying hero" who doesn't know where he is now, everyone in the town is looking forward to the wedding. Decorations are already being arranged on the street, and the shops facing the street are also preparing to welcome people from all over the place to congratulate.
This era is still an era of rampant heterogeneity, and the material world is divided into fragments by small countries. Because Jenkins has key labels such as "literacy", "extraordinary", and "elven blood" at the same time, even strangers can obtain good living conditions in this town.
The main contradiction in the story is the conflict between the dragon and the dragon slayer. On the surface, it seems to have nothing to do with the town itself, but Jenkins didn't believe that things would be so simple, so he has been working hard to collect information before the wedding.
The extraordinary power of this era is extremely prosperous. In addition to alien species and adventurers can be seen everywhere, Jenkins even saw an admissions leaflet for the Magic Academy on the table of the hotel where he lived.
The prosperity of extraordinary power has caused a certain degree of chaos, but under the deterrence of the dragon lord, a high level of civilization has been maintained here.
On the afternoon before the wedding, Jenkins saw the dragon lord spread his wings from the castle on the hill and fly to the east of the town. The gust of wind caused by the flight caused people on the street to scream. Judging from Jenkins' understanding of the dragon, it was undoubtedly a silver dragon in its youth.
Although this world does not have the DND world's camp division for metal dragons, judging from the experience of history and legends, silver dragons are undoubtedly a race of good order. This proves to a certain extent that the records in the story are generally credible, and it was not the dragon itself that caused the wedding crisis, but the young "dragon slayer" who came out of nowhere.
It's just that Jenkins didn't find the young man in the story coming to town until the morning of the wedding day. He suspected that he had missed a key figure, and that the young "Dragon Slayer" had only entered town during the wedding.
But whatever the suspicion, Jenkins was required to enter the wedding venue and wait for things to happen, or the chances of missing out would be greater.
"Speaking of which, wouldn't it be better if the 'Dragon Slayer' didn't come and nothing happened? No, that's not okay. If the story doesn't happen, how can I go back to the Eighteenth Century?"
The dragon lord was so generous that he held a banquet in the courtyard of his castle, and anyone of good will was welcome to attend. Because the castle is designed according to the shape of a dragon, no matter how many people pour in, it will not appear crowded.
The dragon's lizard man steward led a group of servants to welcome the people who came to the wedding at the intersection up the hill from the castle. If people brought gifts, he would also collect them for them.
After all, only a few people can eat rice with empty hands. Seeing that most people carry things, Jenkins originally wanted to pick up a stone as a gift, but felt that this would be detrimental to dignity, so he bought some cheap materials to make a stone that can shine , because it has extraordinary characteristics, so it is not very shabby to take it out.
After entering the dragon castle, I realized that it was taller than what I saw from the outside. The towering high walls did not block the sunlight in the courtyard, and the people who came to celebrate surrounded the long tables covered with food, loudly congratulating the giant dragon that had not yet appeared.
The wedding was expected to start at noon, but seeing that the sun had come overhead, Jenkins still did not see the "Dragon Slayer". It was another protagonist of the wedding, the princess from a remote principality who showed her face. It was a very beautiful young girl, she didn't seem to be worried about marrying a dragon.
Jenkins lost interest after glancing at her in the crowd, turned around and continued looking for the missing young man.
The princess' brother also appeared in the town as a guest, and gave a speech to everyone before the wedding, to the effect that the principality and Blacktown will maintain friendly relations in the future.
The dragon did not appear until the prince had finished his speech. Considering its huge size, the dragon did not appear in the courtyard completely, but showed its face behind the towering side tower, expressing its gratitude to the various races that came. Friendly, and then it was announced that people could start eating and drinking.
Jenkins doesn't know what the wedding process was like in this era, but it certainly didn't involve dragons slaying guests. Just when Lord Silver Dragon shrank his head and wanted to return to the huge hall behind the tower, there was a loud dragon roar in the sky, and then several orange fireballs fell from the sky and smashed into the courtyard of the castle.
The defensive spells of the castle were automatically activated to stop these fireballs, and the giant dragons hidden behind the clouds also flapped their wings and rushed downward. Amidst the exclamation of all the guests, the silver dragon with a garland on its head flew up to the sky and prepared to fight amidst the roar. The guests who realized what had happened immediately turned around and wanted to escape from the castle.
But this was a premeditated attack. Apart from the three old dragons above the castle, above Black Town, dozens of giant dragons were already waiting to "greet" the people who had escaped from the castle. This scene of a giant dragon rushing against the sky can only be seen in this era. Jenkins believes that he will never encounter such a "spectacular" scene again.
There were also some servants and guards in Lord Silver Dragon's castle, plus there were many powerful adventurers among the crowd who came to the wedding banquet, the wedding suddenly turned into a war. Ordinary people have nowhere to hide, so they can only go back to Yinlong's courtyard and run into the lord's hall in an attempt to escape. Jenkins, who was mixed in the crowd, was also dragged into the silver dragon style home, and then met the princess who came out to maintain order.
She also looked a little flustered, but as one of the hosts here, she tried her best to reassure people not to be nervous and afraid. Even though things turned out like this, Lord Silver Dragon was mainly responsible, but people were not yet blinded by fear, and obediently followed the princess's instructions and entered the deeper hall to wait for the outcome of the battle outside.
