Precisely because of this, Morgan and Odin had a good relationship. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to sling his arm over the revered Thunder Dragon King and shoot the breeze with him like this.
Several Dragon Kings were conversing in low voices when, not long after, the door to the conference room opened once more.
This time, a graceful beauty walked in.
The beauty had red hair, wore a red dress, had delicate makeup, and a stunningly regal face. Adding to that was her world-weary and indifferent gaze, giving her beauty an unmatched aura.
"Red Dragon King? She's connected to Constantine too?", Morgan asked in a low voice.
The purpose of this Dragon King summit was to respond to Constantine, who had obtained the Primordial Power.
Odin slowly turned his gaze toward the red-haired beauty, and after a moment, he said, "Supposedly, just before Constantine obtained the Primordial Power, he attacked Isa's territory without warning. So her attendance at this meeting makes sense."
Morgan nodded, "I see."
Isa took a seat, crossed her long legs, rested her cheek on one hand, and let her enchanting eyes scan the Dragon Kings present in the room. Not finding anyone familiar enough to chat with, she closed her eyes and rested.
Female Dragon Kings were extremely rare among the dragons, and Isa's peerless beauty naturally drew the attention of the others.
Of course, since everyone here was a Dragon King-level figure, no one would do something as meaningless as chatting her up on the spot.
They simply admired her silently.
A few more minutes later, the sound of high heels echoed outside the door.
Morgan was startled, "Goodness, is our dragon race finally stepping into an era of gender equality? Why are there so many female Dragon Kings?"
Odin said nothing, just silently looked toward the door.
He didn't care about the whole "female Dragon King" thing.
But vaguely, he sensed something familiar in the aura of the person about to enter the meeting room.
The next second, a head of blue hair entered the line of sight of the Dragon Kings.
Compared to the younger Red Dragon King, this woman was slightly older, and it wouldn't be wrong to describe her as "still elegant with age." The mature aura she exuded was overwhelming.
"I think I remember her... She's, She's the Water Dragon—"
"She's the Sea Dragon," Odin corrected in time.
"Oh right right, the Sea Dragon Clan. But haven't they been secluded from the world for many years? Why would they show up to a meeting about Constantine?"
After a pause, Morgan added, "And I remember the Sea Dragon King is that old man Poseidon, how come it's a beautiful milf now?"
"Show some respect when you speak, Morgan. Her name is Claudia, and she's Poseidon's eldest daughter."
Odin narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone serious and solemn, "Poseidon having her attend this Dragon King summit in his stead carries an obvious meaning."
Morgan's thoughts stirred, and he immediately caught on, "Claudia will become the next Sea Dragon King?"
"Maybe."
Morgan withdrew his gaze from the mature beauty, leaned back in his chair, hands resting behind his head, and said leisurely,
"Then I'll definitely show up for her coronation ceremony to join in the fun."
"Without guidance from the Sea Dragon Clan, you won't even be able to reach their palace under the sea."
"Ah, I was just saying. Why do you always take things so seriously?"
Odin snorted faintly, clearly not in the mood to deal with this guy.
"But speaking of which, almost everyone's here now, except the main stars of the day, who still haven't arrived."
Morgan looked around the conference room. Only the two seats opposite him remained vacant; all the others were taken.
Odin pondered Morgan's words for a moment, then gave a light chuckle.
"The main stars... always arrive last."
As soon as he said that, the two of them heard Isa warmly greet someone toward the door.
"Little Rose, brother-in-law, you're here."
"Sis, you're here too."
Before being invited to attend this meeting, Rossweise had worried there wouldn't be any familiar faces.
Though the Silver Dragon Queen always seemed cold on the outside, ever since she "married" Leon, her inner social anxiety had been fully awakened.
Others say, "Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog." Well, this queen married a man who majored in public embarrassment, wasn't it only a matter of time before she became socially anxious?
But there was another reason Rossweise had become somewhat "reserved", in the past, she had to rely on herself for everything. Internal and external problems were all her burden, with no one to lean on.
But now that she had Leon by her side, she gradually developed someone to rely on, someone who gave her a deep sense of security.
Her personality had softened, developing a bit of that "obedient wife" flavor.
But back to the point.
Isa stood up and smiled as she responded.
"What took you so long to get here?", Isa asked.
"Ah... something came up on the way and delayed us a bit."
Not exactly. As she said this, Rossweise glanced sheepishly at Leon beside her.
They were late because this guy had asked her on the way what exactly this Dragon King summit was about.
Rossweise said it was to discuss the whole incident where he fought Constantine three times.
Leon asked, ("So we're the stars of this meeting?")
Rossweise replied, ("Mm, you could say that.")
Leon said, ("Then let's arrive a bit late, aim to be the last ones.")
The queen was confused, ("Why?")
Leon: ("Because the main character always enters last, only then can we highlight the protagonist's handsomeness and uniqueness.")
Rossweise: =_=
So after arriving at Sky City, they didn't head straight here but wandered around the shopping district instead.
What could Rossweise do?
She married a chunibyo boy, she could only swallow her frustration.
"Oh, oh, then come in quickly, we've all been waiting for you."
"We've all been waiting for you."
These five simple words immediately satisfied General Leon's little middle-school ego and vanity.
See? He knew it, only the main character gets a grand entrance like this.
After taking their seats, Leon glanced around at the people seated at the conference table.
Rossweise had said this was a Dragon King summit, meaning everyone here was a Dragon King, huh?
With a few minutes before the official start of the meeting, Leon leaned slightly toward Rossweise and whispered into her ear,
"If I had known back when I was in the army that Dragon Kings gathered for meetings like this..."
Rossweise was just about to ask, "Why?"
But as soon as she opened her mouth, she guessed what this dog man was thinking.
Hunting them one by one was too much trouble. If he could, he'd rather take them all down in one go while they were gathered.
The queen rolled her eyes and whispered back, "The Dragon Kings here aren't the same as the ones you encountered in the past."
Leon raised an eyebrow, interested, "How so? Tell me more."
Rossweise subtly gestured with her chin toward Odin across from them.
"See that elder Dragon King? He's the father of Yuna, who accidentally entered the Primordial Ruins with Noah last time, the Thunder Dragon King, Odin."
"He rose to power over seven hundred years ago. Even back then, his strength was among the upper echelon of dragonkind, few could match him."
"Even that Radiant Star Dragon King, Star, whom we defeated before, couldn't compare to him."
'Star?'
Leon remembered that guy. One of the Dragon Kings secretly colluding with the Empire. During the second invasion of the Silver Dragon Sanctuary, Star had led the charge.
In the end, he got desperate and self-destructed with his heart-scale armor.
Still, Leon acknowledged Star's strength. Among all the Dragon Kings he had fought, Star was definitely top-tier.
And this Thunder Dragon King... was even stronger than Star?
"You dragons sure love to surprise me."
The couple's whispered exchange seemed to catch Odin's attention.
He looked toward them, his gaze full of scrutiny and unspoken authority.
Leon frowned slightly but didn't panic, meeting Odin's gaze head-on.
From his experience, whenever a Dragon King looked at him like this, the next second usually meant a fight.
But Odin soon looked away.
"Old geezers are always super vigilant."
Rossweise said, "And you're the focus of this meeting, so when it's your turn to speak, be careful. A single slip of the tongue could expose a flaw, got it?"
Public speaking at meetings wasn't Leon's strong suit during his days in the dragon-slaying army.
After all, their unit was always charging the front lines, not exactly known for formalities.
But in his time at the Silver Dragon Sanctuary, he'd learned quite a bit about politics and diplomacy from Rossweise and was gradually adapting to royal-level communication.
His old ways of thinking were slowly changing, and Leon was making steady progress in this area.
He nodded, "Yeah, got it."
Withdrawing his gaze from Odin, Leon caught sight of the blue-haired mature beauty on the other side of the table.
"Claudia's here too."
Rossweise followed his gaze, "Oh, you're right. Maybe it's because Helena was also at the ruins, so she has a reason to attend."
"But isn't the Sea Dragon King Poseidon? Why would Claudia be attending in his place?"
"Representing the Dragon King in clan affairs usually means that person has been approved by the Dragon King, very likely the heir to the title."
Rossweise explained, "Claudia does indeed have the strength to inherit the title of Sea Dragon King."
"I see."
Sensing the couple's gaze, the mature beauty glanced sideways and waved at them in greeting.
The couple smiled and nodded in return.
Soon after, the meeting host walked in.
He stood at one side of the long table, tapped the brass bell in front of him, and said, "Thank you all, Dragon Kings, for attending this meeting concerning Constantine and the Primordial Power."
"I am the attendant of the Twilight Tower's master. The master is unable to appear, so I will preside over this meeting."
"During the meeting, feel free to speak openly about the matter of Constantine. We will not interfere."
"We hope everyone can discuss and produce an effective plan as soon as possible to avoid greater turmoil and chaos within the dragon race."
"Now then, the meeting begins."
With those words, the attendant gave a small bow and exited the meeting room.
As the door closed behind him, all the Dragon Kings in the room simultaneously turned their gaze toward Leon and Rossweise.
"Silver Dragon King, among those present, only you and your husband have had the most contact with Constantine. You also discovered and acted to stop Constantine from seizing the Primordial Power. So, please, tell us, what are your thoughts on the current Constantine?", The speaker was another relatively elder Dragon King.
