As one of the oldest cities on this continent, Yulong City was established much earlier than the Glorious Empire.
Its history can be traced back to seven thousand years ago. At that time, the dragons had not been extinct, and the high elves had not disappeared.
These two powerful races were also the masters of the world at that time.
However, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and the war between giant dragons and elves was also the main theme of that era.
At the beginning of the war, the giant dragon clan relied on their stronger individual strength to stabilize the elves.
But with the continuation of the war, the number of giant dragons is scarce, and the weakness of difficulty in reproduction is gradually exposed.
The elves began to gain the upper hand and gradually drove the dragon out of the center of the continent.
Afterwards, the Elf Empire was established, and Yulong City was the capital of the Elf Empire at that time.
The name of this city was naturally chosen by the elves to humiliate the dragon.
The so-called "Yu" means to control and dominate.
It is precisely because of this that Yulong City has become a thorn in the side of the dragon family since the day it was built. Countless angry dragons in history have tried to burn it to the ground with dragon flames, but without exception, they failed.
The stars have changed, the sea has changed, the giant dragons and high elves have disappeared in the world, and Yulongcheng, the most dazzling stage in the center of the mainland, has now replaced a new protagonist.
There are not many buildings left by the elves in the current Dragon City, and the long river of time can wash away all traces. Human beings have deeply engraved their own imprints on this city in the more than a thousand years since they became the masters of Dragon City. In the bones of the city.
But only the palace is an exception.
This palace named "Phoenix Palace" is the only building left by the elves.
The ruler of the high elves is called the "Phoenix King", and this palace is his former palace.
Due to the hard work of the most outstanding architects of the elves, this magnificent palace has been preserved to this day. Even the royal family of San Lorenzo is impressed by the beauty it shows, the brilliance it represents, and the glory it symbolizes. Conquer, and be willing to make it the palace of the Glorious Empire.
Phoenix Palace is located in the center of Yulong City, it is a palace group consisting of hundreds of palaces. The high dome of the main hall is white and flawless. It is a dome inlaid with a whole piece of white jade, and it will emit a cool brilliance even on a moonless night.
The walls of the palace are inlaid with light blue frosted marble tiles, which look grotesque under the sunlight. Hundreds of marble columns carved with rose patterns support the high roof, and various murals are painted on the inner walls of the roof.
Small and round sculptures of young girls are neatly arranged on the large windows, each with different shapes and charming naive looks.
The royal aura accumulated over thousands of years made the whole main hall exude a strong and heavy pressure, making those who stepped into it involuntarily want to worship.
However, in such a solemn and solemn palace, there were bursts of melancholy sounds at this time.
A waiter walked to the front of the hall, stopped in embarrassment, smiled wryly, and stood quietly waiting in the cold wind.
However, the panting sound in the hall continued to penetrate into the ears of the waiter, making him feel hot all over.
But when he was blown by the biting cold wind, he immediately woke up again, and quickly covered his ears with his hands until he could no longer hear any movement in the hall.
After a long time, the door of the palace finally opened, and a slender and beautiful lady walked out.
The waiter quickly put down his hands and bowed to salute.
Seeing the waiter shivering in the cold wind, the lady smiled charmingly at him: "Ah, are you eavesdropping?"
After speaking, without waiting for the waiter to answer, he laughed and left.
The waiter lowered his head from the beginning to the end, not daring to look at the lady, but the familiar voice made him recognize the identity of the other party - it was the Marchioness of Grandy.
However, the waiter was not too surprised.
After all, His Majesty the Emperor's penchant for cuckolding his vassals is no secret in the imperial aristocratic circle.
The nobles of Yulong City have long been accustomed to this, and even evolved to the point where if they don't have a little green on their hair, they are ashamed to call themselves the real nobles of the imperial capital...
The waiter entered the hall slowly, bowed meticulously, and did not dare to show any emotion on his face.
His Majesty the Emperor of the Glorious Empire is named Reinhard San Lorenzo, and he is also honored as Emperor Reinhard.
Emperor Reinhardt was a burly middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes, thick beard and sword eyebrows, and the unique hooked nose of the San Lorenzo family.
It's just that he was dressed too casually at this time, only wearing a thin shirt, his chest was still open, revealing thick golden chest hair, the cold wind outside the temple was brought in by the waiter, but it didn't let Emperor Reinhard feel cold.
"Your Majesty, the emissary of the Goblin Kingdom will arrive in Yulong City tomorrow morning. Do you want to meet him in person?"
Emperor Reinhard picked up the goblet on the table and poured all the red wine in his mouth. He still seemed thirsty, so he filled another glass for himself and drank it down.
belch-
Hiccupping indistinctly, Emperor Reinhardt glanced at the waiter, and asked in an inaudible tone: "Didn't you tell the queen to see me before?"
The waiter cautiously replied: "Your Majesty, it was Her Majesty the Queen who asked me to ask you, she hopes you..."
Emperor Reinhard waved his hand impatiently: "It's just a goblin king's emissary. It's enough for the queen to meet. What's the matter?"
"The Prime Minister hopes that you can attend the imperial meeting tomorrow. He said that the spring plowing is coming soon and we need you..."
Emperor Reinhard became even more impatient: "The prime minister of the imperial meeting can host it himself, I have other things."
The waiter Nuonuo said yes, and then said carefully: "Your Majesty, Prince Lexi's birthday will be in three days. Your Highness the Queen asked me to ask you, this time, the Prince's birthday banquet will be held in the banquet hall of the Phoenix Palace as usual. ?"
Hearing this, Emperor Reinhard was silent.
The waiter who hadn't received a response for a long time raised his head secretly, but saw the cold gaze of the Great Emperor.
The waiter trembled in fright, and quickly lowered his head again, constantly annoyed in his heart, why did he dare to raise his head just now for no good reason.
The atmosphere in the hall seemed to freeze for an instant.
I don't know how long it took, the waiter's cold sweat almost wet his clothes, and finally heard Emperor Reinhardt's calm voice:
"Well, it's the same as last year."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The waiter felt relieved, and hurriedly bowed and left without daring to delay for a moment.
The heavy palace door opened and closed, isolating the snowy world.
Emperor Reinhard picked up the wine glass again and began to drink by himself.
The hall was filled with a decadent atmosphere, as well as a trace of resentment.
Suddenly, Emperor Reinhard's gaze was fixed, and he suddenly turned his head to look behind him.
The golden silk curtain moved without any wind, and a man covered in a black mage robe appeared there.
It's just that his neck is being pressed against by a sharp sword.
But the man didn't seem to care about such a threat, he still smiled and said to Emperor Reinhardt:
"Your Majesty, when is Prince Lexi qualified to hold a birthday party in the Phoenix Palace?"
