Chapter 1389 Everyone was shocked
Surrounded by a group of our powerful men and ancient dark elf soldiers, Lei Xiao couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly as he stepped into the city gate.
On both sides of the road, there were gray tower-shaped buildings.
These tower-shaped buildings were arranged in an orderly manner, and many of them had no doors to enter from the ground. They extended deep into the city like a honeycomb. Obviously, the layout of ordinary human cities was completely different. They looked more like some buildings in the Winged People's barrier area.
This is not surprising. After all, dragonborns have wings on their backs and are quite good at aerial combat. Although due to their limited bloodline, they cannot soar to the top of the sky like real dragons, but they are also able to match the height of a few elite magic-type strongmen.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. In order to welcome Your Majesty's arrival, the entire capital has implemented air traffic control. No dragonborn will appear above Your Majesty's head."
Davis, who was leading the way, took a step forward and saluted again, touching his chest.
"That's fine, I'm just amazed at your creativity."
Lei Xiao smiled and waved his hand, responding: "I can even see a lot of classical human architectural styles from here."
"Your Majesty is right. In the Silver Moon Era, the Dragonborn were a force dependent on the human race. They gradually developed under the protection and help of the human race. This is something that every one of us will never forget."
Prince Davis of Zhan Yi did not hesitate to praise him, and echoed, "And now, the human race has another wise, intelligent, brave and warlike monarch, which makes us very excited."
After Davis finished speaking, the accompanying Dragonborn ministers and generals, including Nar, all nodded in agreement and began to praise.
"Your Highness, thank you for your praise. The reason why I can get to where I am today is due to the contributions of everyone who fought alongside me."
Hearing that these guys, most of whom he met for the first time, had portrayed themselves as the embodiment of perfection, Lei Xiao just smiled faintly.
Because Lei Xiao clearly understood that all this was based on his overwhelming strength. Of course, he also needed to use some small tricks to make the other party worship him.
With Davis' guidance and introduction, as well as praise along the way, Lei Xiao and his party went deep into the interior of the Dome City and finally stopped in front of a giant honeycomb-shaped building.
Although it looks very similar to an ordinary castle from a distance, there is still no gate connecting to the ground, but only solid and towering walls, fortresses and magic towers.
However, Davis was clearly well prepared, having built a wide magic bridge long ago, and even decorated it with ribbons and flags.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and continued walking towards the castle.
Although Lei Xiao's strength does not actually require the assistance of these facilities, this is obviously a sign of respect from Davis, so he must give him some affirmation.
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. Compared with your great achievements, this is simply insignificant."
Davis' dragon face was still full of respect, and he waved his hand quickly.
Lei Xiao noticed after entering the castle through the castle gate on the city wall.
The furnishings and decorations here are almost the same as those of the human race, except that the height of the ceiling has been raised a lot, and the corridors are much wider, enough for the dragonborn to spread their wings in an emergency.
"Your Majesty, I have prepared a feast. Please move to the banquet hall."
Davis said this and was about to take a step forward, but was stopped by Lei Xiao who waved his hand.
"No hurry, Your Highness. Before that, I want to meet your king first."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and said, "I am just a guest after all, so why shouldn't I greet the host?"
"Your Majesty, you are too polite. If my king is in good health, he will definitely greet you in person at the city gate."
Davis's face was filled with sadness, and then he said with gratitude: "I didn't expect that Your Majesty would still think about our king. Since Your Majesty has this plan, I will naturally cooperate with you to the fullest."
After that, Davis turned around and started walking towards the other side of the corridor: "Your Majesty, please come this way."
The group walked along the spacious castle corridor and soon stopped in front of a heavily guarded gate.
The fully armed dragon soldiers saluted respectfully, and then opened the door at Davis's signal.
As the door opened, Lei Xiao noticed with surprise.
The entire room, whether it was furnishings or decorations, was filled with warm tones, mainly pink, which was obviously very different from the solemn and dignified scene imagined. Lei Xiao even smelled a faint scent of perfume.
"It's more like a princess' bedroom than a king's bedroom."
Lei Xiao thought so and stepped into the door of the room.
At the end of the room, there was a bed wrapped in a pink bed curtain. When Davis lifted the bed curtain, a hint of surprise flashed across Lei Xiao's eyes again.
The person lying on the bed was actually a human girl who looked to be about the same age as the lively Louise.
The only difference was that unlike Louise, she was enveloped in a special small translucent magic barrier. Her eyes were closed on her pale face, and even her lips were pale. Only her chest was rising and falling slightly, and she was obviously extremely weak.
"Your Highness Prince Zhan Yi, is this your king?"
Xiao Jing, who was accompanying them, blinked her big eyes and said in surprise.
Although she had only recently followed Lei Xiao out into the world, she could clearly see that the girl on the hospital bed was completely different from the dragonborn like Davis, whose faces were covered with scales, and she didn't even have wing membranes.
Seeing this, even Gray Old Man and Jonil who were accompanying them looked surprised.
You know, Dragonborn people pay more attention to their bloodline than humans do. Only the royal family with the purest dragon bloodline can become king, and this bloodline will be directly reflected in the appearance of the Dragonborn people.
Such as smoother and harder dragon scales, stronger and more powerful wing membranes, a crown of horns on the head, and even the ability to use dragon breath.
Even if the dragon bloodline is very thin, it is enough to maintain a normal dragon appearance. However, the dragon king in front of him really does not have any dragon bloodline.
"Your Majesty, I know you must be very confused, but I can tell you with certainty that this is our king, and the dragon blood in his body is the purest."
Davis's scaly face was filled with sadness as he explained, "But it is precisely because of the blood in my king's body that he is in his current condition."
"So this is the source of her extreme weakness?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and continued to listen to Davis' words.
"Your Majesty, you don't know that there is an unsolvable strange situation in our race. That is, with each successful upgrade of the rank, it is possible that the human blood in the body will suddenly awaken. The most obvious change is that both the inner and outer appearance will change from dragon to human."
Davis sighed softly, shook his head helplessly and said, "Although this situation is extremely rare, and can be said to be rare in hundreds of years, it has indeed happened many times in history, and this time it happened just when my king successfully advanced to the sixth level."
"Something like a special kind of atavism?"
Lei Xiao hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What happened to those tribesmen before?"
"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, although the people of our tribe have changed and lost many of their dragon characteristics, they have all survived safely. However, the situation of my king is completely different."
Davis nodded to Lei Xiao and said without reservation: "Just like what I said just now, the dragon blood in her body is too pure and strong, so that this sudden change cannot bear it at all, and this curse is irreversible, and the result is that she has become like this."
"We can only use the barrier to barely maintain our king's life. Once we leave the barrier, our king..."
Davis didn't continue speaking due to sobbing, but the meaning was self-evident.
You know, the girl lying on the hospital bed is his blood sister.
"So Ruth and the others brought a lot of healing potions?"
Lei Xiao pondered and nodded, sorting out everything completely.
"That's right. But even those precious potions can only alleviate some of my king's pain. They can't solve the problem from the root."
Davis shook his head helplessly and responded, "After all, those potions are only of the fifth level, so the effects they can have are undoubtedly extremely limited."
"What if it's a sixth-level potion with the same effect?"
Lei Xiao looked calm and nodded slightly.
"Your Majesty, are you talking about the sixth-level healing potion?"
Davis was stunned at first, then his face was full of disbelief.
Before this, although he saw Lei Xiao take out several sixth-level potions that increased movement speed and energy recovery, he was surprised and did not dare to think of them as healing potions.
After all, in terms of value, these auxiliary potions are completely not on the same level as the latter, and there is even a world of difference between them.
It is no exaggeration to say that even those first-rate forces standing at the top of all races probably cannot produce many of these extremely precious items. This is an example.
But what is certain is that this can indeed play an incomparable and important role!
"Yes, I happen to have a few in stock."
Lei Xiao waved his hand towards the table beside him, and three brocade boxes emitting a strong and exotic fragrance were neatly arranged on it.
For a moment, the whole room was filled with a refreshing fragrance, completely covering up the previous light scent of perfume.
Of course, this is only a small part of Lei Xiao’s inventory, but all of them have the effect of greatly enhancing the physical constitution, bones, and meridians.
"Indeed, it is a sixth-level healing potion! When I was young and wandering in the Outlands, I once saw a self-righteous forest elf holding it in the Shadow Market. That guy even laughed at me for being a country bumpkin!"
An old dragon minister with a white beard opened his eyes wide, his body trembling slightly, and he stammered in shock.
Hearing the sound, not only Davis, but also several other powerful dragon warriors who were accompanying him were shocked and opened their mouths wide.
They never imagined that the human emperor in front of them was already extremely awe-inspiring, and now he was simply unfathomable!
"Your Majesty, do you mean to help our king?"
After a while, Davis swallowed and said tremblingly.
"Of course, since we are already standing together, it is my duty."
Lei Xiao pointed to a few brocade boxes on the table, smiled slightly and said, "You can use them as you like."
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty!"
Davis' dragon face was filled with excitement, but he soon realized something and asked carefully, "May I ask what price does His Majesty require us to pay for the exchange?"
After Davis finished speaking, the other powerful Dragonborn warriors who were accompanying him were all filled with trepidation. With the Dragonborn's background, even if all their powers were added together, it would probably be difficult to exchange for such a precious item.
"Your Highness and everyone else, don't be nervous. You have already paid the price by fighting alongside me."
Lei Xiao smiled slightly and responded: "Since we have been through life and death together, what does this mean compared to our friendship?"
"Your Majesty, the human race's kindness, we will never forget it!"
Upon hearing the voice, Davis knelt down in front of Lei Xiao this time, his face filled with even more excitement.
The other powerful men who were accompanying him also made the same movements, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble.
Being able to treat something that even first-rate forces treasure so lightly, what else can they do except pay homage to it?
It was not until this moment that Davis clearly understood why the human emperor who had just walked out of the foreign land could get the full support and even obedience of a number of foreign forces.
Let’s not talk about how the human emperor obtained these items. Just the courage to spend so much money, how many kings can do it?
"Everyone, please stand up. I am not the protagonist here. It is important to make her recover as soon as possible. If it is not enough, tell me."
Lei Xiao bent down and helped Davis up, smiling and said, "Let's go to the banquet hall."
"As you command! Your Majesty!"
After arranging for the old Dragonborn minister and several other Dragonborn healers to stay, Davis, with excitement on his face, directed Lei Xiao towards the banquet hall.
With Davis' endless thanks along the way, Lei Xiao and his party soon arrived at a magnificent castle hall.
Here, there are all kinds of delicious dishes. Most of the dishes are the same as those of humans, and there are also some fresh meals, which are obviously more in line with the tastes of Davis and others.
When Lei Xiao appeared, warm applause broke out in the hall, and pairs of eyes full of respect were cast over.
And when Davis explained the lavish spending of Lei Xiao just now, the entire banquet hall became completely boiling. If the princes and nobles present and the maids serving them were not all covered with dragon scales, it would have made people feel at home.
However, as the banquet progressed, with Davis' introduction, Lei Xiao quickly adapted to shaking hands with these hands covered with dragon scales.
Just as Lei Xiao was having a great time chatting with the other dragon descendants, there were some sudden noises at the entrance of the banquet hall. (End of this chapter)
