Chapter 587: A Visit To The Dragon Palace
They had used sun fruits to make wine. That group of humans was too extravagant.
The Elven King’s gaze was attracted by the wine in Watson’s hand. He could not help but whine in his heart. The sun fruit was a unique fruit on the World Tree. It only matured after thousands of years, and even he had only tasted a few of them, let alone using the fruits to make wine.
‘They say that humans enjoy it very much. It is indeed so after seeing it today. I don’t know how they got the sun fruit. If the wine they usually enjoy is that, then it is too enviable.’
The Elven King shook his head abruptly. ‘No, why is everyone drinking wine so naturally? We are here to fight, not to drink. And how did they get that wine?’
‘Didn’t Elder Pagani just explain it? While waiting for the planetary fortress to return, we might as well drink some wine. As for where that wine came from…’ The Elven King noticed a group of sea folk beauties transporting wine boxes from the river to the riverbank. He was stunned.
“The sea folks helped to transport the wine from the royal city.”
The sea folk women turned their heads and smiled at him.
‘What’s wrong with that group of sea folks? Did they have time to send wine from the royal city? Isn’t the royal city very far from here? How can they send the wine so quickly?’
The Elven King’s heart was filled with doubts, and he could not help but look at Watson.
“The Holy Dragon Kingdom now has a Dragon Palace Network formed by the golden river. All the waterways are connected, and as long as there is water, the fleet can move quickly. We can reach any place in the Holy Dragon Kingdom instantly through that. Your Majesty, would you like to give it a try?” Watson explained with a smile. The last time they came to the fortress city, they used the Dragon Palace Network too.
“It’s such a magical thing. Take me to see it.”
The Elven King’s eyes lit up. His original attitude toward attacking the Holy Dragon Kingdom was fueled by hatred. Of course, he also knew that he would receive a large amount of wealth after defeating the Holy Dragon Kingdom. However, he did not expect that the wealth would be more than he had expected. If the Dragon Palace Network fell into the hands of the elves, they could reach anywhere instantly. It was hard to imagine how powerful the elves would become.
“Your Majesty, this way, please.”
“Wait a moment.”
Watson made a gesture of invitation. He was leading the Elven King to the river when the Elven King suddenly called out to him.
“What’s wrong, Your Majesty? Are you worried about the danger of entering the Dragon Palace Network? If that’s the case, you can bring more guards with you.”
“No, I’m not worried about that! Watson, I haven’t had the sun fruit wine yet.
“Ah, yes.”
Seeing that the Elven King’s dignified expression was a little uneasy, Watson suppressed the smile in his heart as he poured the Elven King a cup of sun fruit wine. The Elven King was very honest when he said that.
The Elven King took a sip and revealed a look of enjoyment. If it were not for the sake of maintaining the dignity of a king, he would have moaned. It was hard to imagine that the wine was so delicious. He had never tried it before that..
He took another sip of the wine and let the liquid swirl in his mouth. After a few seconds, he could not bear to swallow the wine. “The wine is indeed good. Watson, you said that the wine is only sold for 1,000 gold coins. I wonder where humans got so many sun fruits.”
Typically, the sun fruits only grew near the World Tree. In the entire world, only the elves had a World Tree. The elves did not even have that many of those fruits, so how did the humans get their hands on so many? He did not understand it.
“Please allow me to explain that later. Your Majesty, please come with me to visit the Dragon Palace Network first. Then, I will bring you to a place. Once there, you will understand everything.”
An unfathomable smile appeared on Watson’s face as he led the Elven King to the golden river.
Even though he said he was not worried about his comfort, the Elven King still called for a hundred platinum-tier soldiers. Delta, Claudia, and Nia were also there, following Watson.
“Is everyone ready? If you are, I will activate the Dragon Palace’s defenses and let everyone enter.”
Watson looked around, and the elven soldiers responded weakly. They were drinking and eating when the Elven King called them to accompany him on his tour of the Dragon Palace. They had wanted to continue tasting the gold-tier magical beast meat and sun fruit wine. Unfortunately, that was an order from the Elven King, and they did not dare resist.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Watson did not hesitate. He chanted an incantation at the golden river in front of him. The mirror-like surface immediately cracked open and turned into a vortex that swirled downward. A powerful force came forth, and with an irresistible momentum, sucked Watson, the Elven King, and the others into it.
“Protect His Majesty!”
The group of elven soldiers became nervous because of the sudden force. They thought there would be some danger underwater, so they approached the Elven King nervously and drew their longbows. However, they stopped halfway.
After they entered the water, an enormous palace appeared in front of them. Transparent passages extended from all directions of the palace, connecting to an unknown direction. On the ground, rivers crisscrossed; they kept running.
“Where is that?”
“Aren’t we entering the river? Why are we here?”
The elves looked around in surprise. Bubbles were rising in the air. Other than those beautiful, colorful bubbles, that place was no different from the land. There was no river water as they had expected.
“Welcome to the world reflected in the water. That is the Dragon Palace.”
Watson opened his arms, bowed slightly, and introduced the Dragon Palace to the elves.
“The Dragon Palace exists in the reflection of the water. It is an illusory world, independent of reality. Because it is independent of reality, it can instantly reach any place in reality! The transparent channels in the sky are the paths of the Dragon Palace, which can transport people or goods. The water below the Dragon Palace is the sum of all the waterways of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, which is equivalent to coordinates. We just came from that waterway.”
Watson pointed to a waterway, and the elves looked at it. The water was clear, and they could see the elves eating and drinking on the other side of the river. They could not help but click their tongues in wonder.
“We can actually see the outside world from here. It looks like the water is like a mirror. Are we in the mirroring world now?”
“You can think of it that way.”
“Does it cover the entire Holy Dragon Kingdom?”
“Yes.”
“It’s really amazing.”
The elves, who had been depressed because the Elven King had disturbed them while they were eating and drinking, were filled with excitement after seeing the magnificence and magic of the Dragon Palace.
“Very good,” the Elven King said in an excited voice. He had an unexpected feeling after seeing the Dragon Palace. The Dragon Palace would be his as long as he conquered the Holy Dragon Kingdom.
