Taking advantage of the moonlight, Birmingham and the servants left the lord’s mansion of the Golden Estate City in a hurry.
He had got what he wanted, or more precisely, what ‘Arthur’ wanted.
The magic game successfully developed by dragons in the Dragon Valley could make everyone within the area train and improve in the magic illusion. This kind of game could even cover the whole world. It was an amazing innovation that would benefit every user, which was also a golden business opportunity as Prince ‘Arthur’ said.
It was a pity that, unlike the aromatic millet wine ‘completed’ by the dragon rider Samuel, the Dragon Emperor did not agree to ‘Arthur”s request to promote the magic game all over the world. This was most likely due to the selfish special attribute of dragons who just wanted to use this good thing for their own use.
What ‘Arthur’ wanted was to get the right to sell this magic game. Of course, this pie was too big to be eaten by the Golden Estate alone, so ‘Arthur’ was willing to share the profits of the magic game with the Holy Church. No doubt, before that, dragons must take the bulk of the total interest.
The Golden Estate was responsible for the manufacture of all equipment for magic game signal towers and all sales as well as operations related to magic games. The church was responsible for establishing the magic game signal towers in the Hall of Light in each of its church district and promoting it to all empires.
For the Holy Church, where the church district was located in every town, it was easy to set up the signal towers, and it didn’t take much effort to promote it. If magic games could achieve huge long-term benefits as Arthur said, then this investment was simply nothing. Instead, the church took a huge advantage.
It was also a good deal for the Golden Estate. It was really a win-win for ‘Arthur’ and the church. If you add those short-sighted and selfish dragons, it was an all-win.
A slight trouble was that ‘Arthur’ regarded this as a criterion for choosing a faction. This meant that he would officially accept the invitation to join the church as the ‘Holy Child’ of whichever of the 3 major factions that could hand over the ‘representative power’ of the magic game to him. This ‘invitation’ clearly represented the future lineup of ‘Arthur’. Although the 3 dignified giants of the church were a little unhappy to actually participate in this ‘competition’, ‘Arthur’ did have this bargaining power now, because now the Snow Dallet Tree was missing, and the Crown of Thorns was the only replacement.
What made Birmingham happiest was that ‘Arthur’ had given him the greatest benefit to be the first to get the news. This meant that the other 2 factions didn’t know about ‘Arthur”s decision. In this competition, time was the key to victory.
Speaking of which, the dragons’ side was a little troublesome because the strongest branch of the holy dragon split into 2 factions. Apart from the Dragon Valley, the other branch was a refugee in the church. Nevertheless, Rodriguez later betrayed, and there had always been a lot of grudges between the church and the dragons all these years. If he went to the Dragon Valley to discuss the cooperation, the result may be unknown, but 4 words were certain: bring contempt on himself.
As for how to negotiate with the giant dragons, it was all up to the top level. It had nothing to do with him. To be able to get the answer from ‘Arthur’ was not a great achievement, but it could be considered a successful completion of the task from the top level.
What Birmingham needed most now was to immediately report this matter to Pusmeer, so that the actions of the Star Hall would be ahead of the rest of the 2 factions!
The next morning, Chen Rui met the visiting Cardinal Roger at the lord’s mansion. He ‘unintentionally’ pointed out Birmingham’s chips. After Sir Roger increased his chips without hesitation, Royal Highness ‘Arthur’, who had benefited, finally said what he wanted, magic game.
Sir Roger hurried away.
In the afternoon, Chen Rui visited Gralin, who was still in the estate, and repeated the previous scene.
Gralin hurried away in the same way.
Behind him was the smiling estate lord.
When I am worried about the magic game, the Holy Church offers themselves to me. This is like a pillow sent over when I want to sleep. What a good church.
Moreover, since the magic game is launched in this form, even if ‘Arthur’ is exposed or turned against the church in the future, it will not be banned. Because this is the ‘selfish’ dragons’ own repertoire. ‘Arthur’ just wanted huge profits and to make money through the hands of the church. What’s more, once the church gets the huge benefits of magic games, it will be more difficult to give up this cash cow.
With the power of the Holy Church, the magic game would begin to spread throughout the human world at a much faster rate than expected. Even if Chen Rui was not in the Golden Estate, there was no need to worry too much, so he could implement his next plan with peace of mind.
Thinking of this, Chen Rui, who couldn’t help laughing, once again gave the 3 cardinals lots of thumbs ups in his mind.
2 days later, the lord’s mansion.
“Aunt Meria.” Chen Rui looked at the communication projection of Mother-in-law Fairy Dragon. He held the hands of Isabella and Zola beside him and smiled.
The mother-in-law looked at the 2 daughters happily cuddling beside the human son-in-law, “It seems that you all have been having a good time recently, my daughters. As for you… the greedy human who hugs 2 women, although your passion has made me very unsatisfied, the Sir Dragon Emperor has a surprising appreciation for you. Therefore, I shall also reluctantly praise you for doing a good job in this matter.”
Having said that, Mother-in-law Fairy Dragon looked at the human with incomparably satisfied eyes. Her son-in-law was so talented which made her proud in front of the Dragon Emperor. The most important thing was that her 2 daughters were blissful.
“The Holy Church always has a conflict with the Dragon Valley, and now they are competing to work with the Dragon Valley, which really delighted Royal Majesty Pagris.”
Chen Rui also laughed. That Royal Majesty Dragon Emperor was not a kind man. Since more than a faction of the Holy Church came to ask for it, if he didn’t mention the conditions, it was no longer Pagris. He could make a lot of money anyhow.
“I think Royal Majesty Pagris will not go too harsh on the church. After all, this is a business that will also bring huge benefits to dragons. However, dragons must keep things secret about ‘Richard’, especially Stanwell, Pelin, and those guys.”
“Rest assured, this involves the development and interests of the entire dragons. The Royal Majesty Dragon Emperor has his own plan. In this world, there is a magic called erasing memory. If necessary, Royal Majesty Pagris does not mind to use it on all dragons.”
The last sentence made Chen Rui a little moved. The courage of the lazy-looking Royal Majesty Dragon Emperor is really surprising.
“By the way, the Royal Majesty Dragon Emperor wants to ask for your opinion, which party should this representative power be given to?”
Chen Rui didn’t think too much, and he directly said the name of a faction, which was another gain from his ‘chat’ with the 3 cardinals.
This allowed him to implement his plan with greater peace of mind, placing the Holy Light Mountain as the last stop of this ‘main quest’ in the human world.
“Appropriate patience can bring more benefits, but don’t go too far, so as not to be self-defeating. Moreover, the time left for me is very limited. I believe that with the wisdom of the Royal Majesty Dragon Emperor, he should be able to master the timing, right?”
“Of course.” Meria nodded, “The magic communication is about to end… Zola, Yini, you all have to be careful. Mommy is not by your side, but I will always be watching from behind…”
Zola and Isabella nodded in unison as Meria’s figure gradually faded and disappeared.
“Hey, why are your eyes red? It hasn’t been long since you all left Dragon Valley? Especially you, Zola, who lived in the Demon Realm for 10,000 years. Now, after meeting Aunt Meria, how come you seem to have become more fragile… Ouch!“
Before he could finish speaking, the soft flesh on his waist was pinched by the fingernails from the left and the right almost at the same time.
“Zola, I heard that someone seems to be going to the Blue Glory Empire to marry his fiancée?”
“That so called Princess Pearl is called Landbis. Sherbert.” When it comes to key issues, Ms. Fairy Dragon would not fake daze, “I heard that she is a famous human beauty.”
“Really? There will be 1 more woman for this guy?”
Chen Rui felt the fingers of the 2 hands exerting force at the same time, and the flesh on the waist suddenly made a 360-degree… twist. He could not help baring his teeth in pain, “Actually, she doesn’t want to marry me at all. I just want to make a deal with her to get the Holy Grail, 1 of the 3 holy relics!”
“She doesn’t want to marry you?” Isabella smiled and let go of her hand, “How do you know? It seems that you met this fiancée not long ago? Let me guess, was it your first time in the human world? Also, during this time, what about the old lover whom you always meet at Yerodisha Palace? What’s the name…”
“Veronica.” Ms. Fairy Dragon continued to add fuel to the fire, uh, support.
“I heard some stories about the Royal Highness Third Prince and this wife of the prince consort back then. It seems that there are quite a few things that someone has hidden from us.”
Chen Rui felt that the remaining hand was more forceful, and he looked at Zola next to him innocently. Ms. Fairy Dragon looked back at him blankly with a dazed expression as if the hand which was twisting the soft flesh belonged to someone else.
“Zola…”
“What?”
“Stop twisting.”
“Oh.” (Exert more force)
“…”
“Okay, it’s unavoidable that men sometimes lie, but these are white lies.” Chen Rui looked at the 2 lovers affectionately, “For more peace and happiness for the woman whom I value the most in my heart.”
Ms. Fairy Dragon seemed to be moved and let go of her fatal fingers, then she looked at Madam Aunt, and they suddenly said in unison, “Who is the woman you value most?”
Chen Rui, “…”
Well, these were just unrelated details. Don’t worry about it. In the end, the male protagonist coaxed the 2 harem ladies. As for the 4 crescent-like red marks on his waist, it was a completely negligible amount of loss for the crystal harem who needed the male protagonist blood sacrifice.
So, Ms. Fairy Dragon continued the closed-door training with satisfaction. She had now completely absorbed the Pseudo-God spiritual imprint of Python. Plus the special training with her parents in the Dragon Valley before, she had faintly sensed a trace of ability to turn the pseudo-kingdom into real kingdom. This was the first step into the Demi-God level.
Just when Chen Rui was closing his eyes and thinking about his next move, Samuel came to report that the female officer sent by Lex the Great to teach etiquette had arrived.
“Teaching etiquette? I don’t have time to see her.” Chen Rui thought of what Lex the Great had said to let him learn royal etiquette before going to the Blue Glory Empire to attend the engagement ceremony, and he couldn’t help sneering secretly. Who knows how will the engagement turn out?
“Madam Isabella has met her…”
“Then it’s no problem, Yini will send her away.”
“Your Highness, in this case, the problem will be bigger…” Samuel expressed a strange expression, “Your Highness better go there in person.”
“What do you mean?”
“Because that lady officer is… Her Highness Veronica.”
