Doomsday Game.

The welcoming banquet started soon.

At the beginning of the banquet, the Black Iron Dragon Emperor Hastings announced publicly that the little princess of Dragon Country, Lillian, had become a dragon rider, and named her the seventh duke of the Black Iron Dragon Country, with the power to recruit followers.

When she and her dragon reached the fourth level, they could leave the palace and establish their own duchy.

This news was naturally very important, and the guests congratulated them one after another, but no one knew how much calculation was behind the scenes.

It is worth mentioning that His Majesty the Dragon Emperor did not mention that Chu Yan had also become a dragon rider.

Perhaps he had learned about Chu Yan's thoughts from Lillian and knew that he would not stay in the Black Iron Dragon Country, so he did not intend to announce it publicly.

Of course, with so many people in the know, it was impossible to hide it from those who were interested.

During the banquet, many big figures of the Dragon Country who attended the banquet came to greet him, even several dukes were no exception.

Chu Yan naturally didn't want to get involved in the fight between the two crown princes, so he was unmoved by any show of goodwill and solicitation from either side.

When the banquet came to an end, Chu Yan waited for the Black Iron Dragon Emperor to summon him alone as expected.

He was not afraid, and went to the appointment leisurely. Under the guidance of a female dragon vein family, he came to a garden in the palace and met His Majesty Hastings.

Chu Yan: They really like to summon guests to talk in the garden!

Hastings was the only one in the garden. After bringing Chu Yan to the garden, the dragon vein family also withdrew.

The scene became Chu Yan and Hastings alone.

Chu Yan was the first to speak and salute: "Your Majesty, do you have something to ask me?"

Hastings gestured for him to sit down, and then the first sentence he said was to thank him:

"Mr. Betalot, Lillian has told me that she was able to become a dragon knight mainly because of your great help. As a father and the emperor of the Black Iron Dragon Kingdom, I am very grateful for your help to her."

Chu Yan said modestly: "Your Majesty is too polite. Princess Lillian and I have become friends. She also helped me in the trial. I think it is right for friends to help each other."

"Friends?"

Hastings smiled: "Then I am very glad that she has a friend like you."

Then he changed the subject and suddenly asked: "Then are you willing to stay for your friends and join our Black Iron Dragon Kingdom?"

Here it comes! It's really not surprising!

Chu Yan paused and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I actually like the environment of the Black Iron Dragon Kingdom, but you should have known my experience. Finding my lover and returning to her is my only belief in this life. Please forgive me for not being able to accept your invitation." Hastings listened, but just smiled indifferently, and advised: "In fact, the two are not contradictory. If you join the Black Iron Dragon Kingdom, you can use the power of the country to find your lover better. I will not restrict the freedom of a dragon knight, but I can provide you with a solid backing." Chu Yan thought to himself that you are quite difficult, but he still refused: "I'm sorry, in fact, I also promised a group of friends to go with Together with them, we will build our own Dragon City in their original hometown. I can't break my promise. "

Hastings listened, looked at him deeply, and finally said:

"Well, since you have such an ambition, then this king will not force you, but please remember that the door of the Black Iron Dragon Kingdom will always be open to you. We will never treat our friends unfairly. I hope that we can also become close allies at the national level. If you encounter trouble when building the city, the Black Iron Dragon Kingdom will provide reasonable assistance unconditionally. "

Chu Yan was moved by the words, and saluted with a touching face: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"

Until the conversation ended and left, Chu Yan still had some doubts in his heart.

This Black Iron Dragon Emperor is too easy to talk to. He actually let him go so easily?

He had thought before that it would be normal for the other party to force him to stay and join the Black Iron Dragon Kingdom by coercion and inducement.

He couldn't figure out what the other party was thinking, so he simply didn't think about it.

What he didn't know was that after he left, the Black Iron Dragon God emerged from the Dragon Soul Space, shrunk to a size of ten meters, squatted beside Hastings, also looked at the direction he left, and asked:

"I have already told you about the specialness of this kid, are you still willing to let him go?"

Hastings replied casually: "It is because he is too special, so special that I can't understand what is going on with him, so I can't force him to stay."

"What do you mean?"

"His potential is terrible, and he will definitely grow to the same height as us in the future. A futureThe Lord of the Dragon Kingdom will never be inferior to others. If we suppress them forcefully, it will only backfire. It is better to make friends in advance and invest in them. In the future, they may bring unexpected benefits to the Black Iron Dragon Kingdom. "

"The Abyss plane is endless and can never be fully developed, so the Dragon Kingdoms are potential allies and there is no hostility. If a powerful ally can appear in the surrounding planes of the Black Iron Dragon Kingdom, it will be a great benefit to us."

"In the final analysis, we have too many enemies. The Abyss Demons are the biggest enemies we have to resist. If a strong man suddenly appears and shares the pressure for us, I can be much more relaxed."

The Black Iron Dragon God listened silently and nodded slightly at the end: "I understand, maybe you are right."

Then it asked again: "What about Lillian? She became a dragon knight, which is not in your plan, right? "

Hastings was silent for a moment, then sighed, "It's a good thing after all, but I can't favor her without reservation in the future. After all, the princess and the crown prince are two different concepts. Since she has embarked on this path, she must learn to be independent."

"But... it's almost time for those cubs in your dragon's nest to move out. Go back and do some ideological work on them these days. I will arrange some trustworthy little guys to contact them."

The Black Iron Dragon God sneered when he heard this:

"You still say you don't favor me? You're favoring me!"

"You know, Lillian is special."

"Okay, I know, but I can't guarantee whether it can be done. You should have a more accurate vision and don't let some guys who can't stand up to the stage come. After all, if they are all people with poor abilities, it will be difficult for them to help Lillian get to the top in the future, right?"

"Don't worry, when has my vision been wrong? They are all the rising stars that I carefully selected and trained. They are the descendants of Lillian's mother's direct lineage, and they have inherited the glory and beliefs of their fathers. None of them is easy to deal with. "

"Hastings, you still can't let her go!"

"Of course, if it weren't for her, how could I be where I am today?"
