Chapter 570: The White Dragon Clan Princess
Chapter 570: The White Dragon Clan Princess
Among the group of noble heirs, the "Prince Charles" they referred to was the one standing at the front, dressed in the most splendid attire. He was the thirteenth-generation great-grandson of the Mana King. Unlike the Blue Star, which differentiated between "Prince," "Grandson," and "Great-Great-Grandson," the Royal Family of the Sun Empire referred to all direct descendants as "Prince" and females as "Princess."
Prince Charles, being a direct descendant, had been adored since birth. At the age of 18, the Royal Family arranged for him to participate in the "Dragon Arrival Ceremony."
Given his lineage, it was almost certain that he would receive the favor of a young dragon, if not a sure bet.
Thus, Prince Charles was calm and composed, chatting with his friends with the grace and dignity of a prince, his every move exuding the royal aura.
...
Apart from the 300+ noble heirs, a peak-stage male elder stood on the platform. This elder was the host of this "Dragon Arrival Ceremony," known as the "Dragon Envoy."
The Dragon Envoy stood with his hands behind his back, his head raised, gazing in the direction of Dragon Island. Suddenly, he turned to look at the noble heirs behind him and solemnly said, "The dragons are about to arrive. You must maintain your composure to make a good impression, as these will be your lifelong companions."
"Yes, Lord Dragon Envoy!" the group of noble heirs immediately replied, adjusting their postures, even Prince Charles included.
The Dragon Envoy held a very high status, ranking among the top 30 in the entire Sun Empire. Even Prince Charles dared not offend him, standing straight and tall.
"Hmm." The Dragon Envoy nodded in satisfaction and turned back to look in the direction of Dragon Island.
After half a minute, the Dragon Envoy's expression changed, and he whispered to the back, "They're here!"
Another half a minute later, a series of low and high-pitched dragon roars echoed from the sky to the east.
A large group of young dragons flapped their wings, led by a peak-stage adult red dragon, slowly flying toward the square.
Upon hearing these dragon roars, the audience on the platform and below immediately perked up.
They hurried to stand at attention, their faces filled with anticipation, gazing at the direction from which the young dragons were approaching.
Su Yu had already arrived at the spectator stands outside the square. He imitated the other parents, using a telescope to observe the distant group of young dragons.
With his natural sharp vision, he could already see the young dragons clearly, but to avoid standing out, he had bought a telescope.
Through the telescope, Su Yu could clearly see the entire group of young dragons.
Leading the group was an adult red dragon with a 30-meter wingspan, similar in appearance to the red dragons from the game, though slightly smaller in size, akin to a subspecies of the game's dragon clan.
Following the adult red dragon were over a hundred young dragons with wingspans ranging from 5 to 10 meters, in various colors.
However, the most eye-catching was the pure white female young dragon flying behind the adult red dragon, wearing a pointed crown that seemed to be made of yellow crystal on her head.
Morning Star, who could also transform into a dragon and was of the exceptional lineage of a [Star Core Dragon], noticed Su Yu's attention and playfully transmitted, "Impressive, right? Am I prettier?"
Su Yu knew exactly how to respond and immediately replied, "Of course not, you're far more beautiful!"
"That's better." Morning Star nodded in satisfaction.
Just as they were exchanging pleasantries, the group of young dragons had approached the "inner field."
Seeing the group of young dragons in the sky, the Dragon Envoy's face showed surprise.
He turned to look at the noble heirs, led by Prince Charles, and smiled, "Children, you are in luck! A total of 116 young dragons have arrived, including a 300-year-old princess of the White Dragon Clan! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so make the most of it!"
"What?"
"116? Isn't it usually around 50?"
"The Princess of the White Dragon Clan? My goodness! She truly is a once-in-a-century find!"
"If we can gain the favor of the Dragon Clan's Princess, there will be no problem in advancing to the Sixth Rank of the Sacred Realm in the future!"
"Let's not dream! Even if the White Dragon Clan's Princess is willing to form an alliance with us, she would definitely choose Prince Charles. It's impossible for us."
The young nobles whispered excitedly among themselves.
A once-in-a-century find! Who knows, maybe this time, many of them would have the chance to gain the favor of the great dragon!
As the young dragons flew closer, the young nobles took out the food that the young dragons liked from their backpacks—dried deep-sea fish and dried high-tier magical beast meat.
According to the description of the successful predecessors, these foods might attract some greedy young dragons, significantly increasing the chances of success, so they all held the food high.
Prince Charles glanced at the "country bumpkins" beside him with disdain. He raised his hand, and the [Spatial Ring] on his index finger glowed.
After everyone's attention focused on his Spatial Ring, Charles wiped his finger and took out a yellow crystal ball the size of a human head.
Charles had known the White Dragon Princess was coming, and some bigwigs had secretly arranged everything for them.
This time, the upcoming Dragon Ceremony was more like a "blind date" between him and the Princess of the White Dragon Clan, with the surrounding lackeys as mere foils.
The massive crystal ball in his hand was a specially prepared gift for the Princess of the White Dragon Clan. Charles was 100% sure the Princess would love it.
The young nobles beside Charles looked at the [Spatial Ring] and the huge crystal ball with envy.
Damn! This Spatial Ring costs several hundred million! And this national treasure-level crystal ball is worth a fortune, easily in the hundreds of millions!
In comparison, the food they had was like garbage!
However, they didn't dare to say anything and just pretended not to see, holding their meat high.
But what they didn't know was that at that moment, Su Yu and Chenxing were discussing the various meats in their hands.
Su Yu: "Chenxing, do you like any of the meat these Skru nobles are holding? If you do, I can get some for you before we go to Dragon Island."
"Forget it!" Chenxing used the expression [Cat's Disdain.jpg]: "I wouldn't want their lousy meat even if they gave it to me! I still prefer this."
Chenxing took out a [Star Realm Cod] from her storage space, showed it to Su Yu, and quickly put it back.
But Chenxing didn't realize that this action was like poking a hornet's nest!
At that moment, the young dragons suddenly started to communicate frantically.
"Did you feel it?"
"I felt it, it's a treasure!"
"Quick, quick, quick, forget that group of stupid Skru below, let's go treasure hunting!"
The last sentence was said by the Princess of the White Dragon Clan.
Although the [Star Realm Cod] only appeared for a moment, like a single frame in a video, for them, the attraction was like a man who had been in prison for ten years and just encountered braised pork elbow!
This attraction made them fly toward Su Yu's location without hesitation, ignoring everything else, including Charles holding the crystal ball.
