Chapter 585 On the Eve of the Dragon Gathering
"This is?"
Seeing this, the people around panicked and kept scanning their surroundings.
"Are there enemies?"
The shrimp soldiers and crab generals all looked solemn, exchanging glances. But then, the dragon pillar suddenly burst forth with a golden light, which was extremely dazzling.
"Golden light, this is an eighth-level dragon vein!"
Prime Minister Turtle stared at the dazzling light, momentarily lost in thought, and stammered.
"An eighth-level dragon vein?"
The Dragon King of the East Sea was also somewhat shocked, because there were not many dragon princes or princesses with eighth-level dragon veins. Generally, only exceptionally outstanding dragon princes and princesses could reach the eighth level of bloodline.
"No way."
The shrimp soldier leader swallowed hard as he watched this scene, his face filled with disbelief, but then a dark look flashed across his eyes.
For the others, Ye Ru's expression also changed somewhat; he hadn't expected that he really did have dragon blood.
"call."
Looking at Ye Ru, a complex emotion flashed in the eyes of the Dragon King of the East Sea, and a strange meaning appeared on his face.
"follow me."
After saying this, Ye Ru and the others returned to the Dragon Palace Hall.
Looking at Ye Ru, the East Sea Dragon King bowed to him:
"Please forgive me for what happened before. As you know, we dragons are quite proud. Although we have cooperated with humans, we have never asked any humans for help in the Four Seas Dragon Gathering, even though human scholars are very talented."
"So I hope you can understand my previous actions."
That was true, and Ye Ru understood, so he quickly returned the greeting:
"Your Majesty is joking. I am not completely ignorant, so I know what is important and what is not."
"It's already good that you think that way. Alright, take Chief Ye back to rest. After the Four Seas Dragon Gathering ends, I'll discuss it with the West Sea Dragon King and see if we can use the Dragon Tempering Pool."
Nodding, the Dragon King of the East Sea waved his hand, and then a clam maiden came to greet Ye Ru.
Back at his resting place, Ye Ru began to read. After a while, Long Hai came in and apologized to Ye Ru:
"Young Dragon Lord, I'm sorry you had to suffer this injustice."
"It's alright, but there's one thing I don't understand: why are the shrimp soldiers and crab generals so powerful in your East Sea Dragon Palace?"
Ye Ru shook his head, put down his book, and said.
"You may not know this, but after our Dragon Army was destroyed, the Dragon Princes all went elsewhere, leaving the Dragon Palace vulnerable. Some water demons also repeatedly invaded our Dragon Clan's waters. So the Dragon King appointed those collateral ministers."
"These ministers were also masters of military strategy. As their military achievements increased, their status rose higher and higher, to the point that even the Dragon King could not control them in the end."
"Fortunately, Prime Minister Turtle is there to keep things in check; otherwise, the East Sea Dragon Palace would probably be under different management in a few years."
With a sigh, Long Hai spoke slowly.
These words made Ye Ru understand. The Dragon Palace's system was similar to the human race's system, which also ranked people according to their military merits. This explained why the East Sea Dragon King was so weak now.
However, this cannot be blamed on the Dragon King; it is also related to their personalities. Although they are powerful, if this power is used by some people with ulterior motives, it can cause some unimaginable things to happen.
"Now that you have half dragon blood and are a descendant of the Dragon Lord, those people won't do anything to you."
Long Hai continued, and Ye Ru nodded:
"The Four Seas Dragon Gathering must be starting soon, right?"
"The day after tomorrow, we will meet at our East Sea Dragon Palace. This time, the other three Dragon Palaces are all very well prepared, but our East Sea Dragon Palace doesn't have many people. The three princes are stationed in other places and can't come back in time, so this time we can only rely on you."
Longhai Road.
"I'll try my best."
Nodding, Ye Ru said, and then Long Hai gave some instructions before leaving.
With Long Hai gone, Ye Ru was able to settle down and start reading. Early on the third day, the entire East Sea Dragon Palace began to bustle with activity.
The entire East Sea Dragon Palace was decorated with great pomp and circumstance, and there were many more dragon soldiers guarding it, as if something major had happened.
Ye Ru woke up from his sleep, stretched, opened the door, and looked at the dragon soldiers coming and going around him, and sighed in admiration.
These dragon soldiers wore heavy armor, giving them a rather fierce appearance.
"Chief Ye, you're awake."
At this moment, a clam maiden came to Ye Ru's side, bowed to him, and said respectfully.
"Hmm, I wonder if I will be able to see the Dragon King? Isn't today the start of the Four Seas Dragon Assembly?"
Ye Ru waved his hand, gesturing for the clam-woman to stand up, and said.
"I'll take you there right away."
After passing through several roads, Ye Ru arrived at the main hall of the Dragon Palace, where it seemed that someone was arguing about something.
"Dragon King of the East Sea, you want to borrow our Dragon Tempering Pool of the West Sea? You know that this Dragon Tempering Pool is a treasure of our four seas. If you had invited other dragons, that would have been fine, but why did you invite a human to use it this time?"
"You should know that it takes a year to fill the Dragon Tempering Pool with dragon energy each time it is used, right?"
Below, an elderly man with a red beard frowned and said.
“I know, but this person does indeed have half dragon blood. The Dragon Tempering Pool belongs to all the dragons of the four seas. I shouldn’t need to report to you who I give the pool to, right?”
The Dragon King of the East Sea had a somewhat gloomy expression and said.
“East Sea Dragon King, as you yourself said, this Dragon Tempering Pool is shared by all the dragon clans of the four seas. How about this, we will vote to decide. If you get more votes, my West Sea will give up the Dragon Tempering Pool without hesitation. But if you get fewer votes, then there’s no need to say more about this matter.”
The Dragon King of the West Sea sneered.
"West Sea Dragon King, I have treated you well in the past, but I never expected you to repay kindness with enmity in this way. Everyone knows that you three dragon clans are in cahoots."
The Dragon King of the East Sea slammed his hand on the table, his face extremely cold, and a dragon aura began to emanate from him.
Sensing this power, the Dragon King of the North Sea immediately stood up and said:
"We are all dragons, why ruin our harmony over this? How about we make a bet? If your East Sea can win this Dragon Gathering, we will bring out the Dragon Tempering Pool. But if you lose, you must never use the Dragon Tempering Pool again. What do you say?"
These words made the Dragon King of the East Sea's gaze sharpen; it seemed the other party wanted to wipe out the entire East Sea.
Without the Dragon Tempering Pool, his descendants would not be able to unlock the dragon bloodline, and the East Sea Dragon Palace lineage would eventually perish.
