Chapter 1457: The Elf King’s Little Secret
Seeing the Emerald Elf King in such a discomfitured state, and then launching into a rapid-fire explanation of the technology he had seen provided by the Dragon Emperor, he was struck by the sight of the Emerald Elf King.
The Radiant Elf King looked apologetically at Zhao Chen, then frowned and glared at the Emerald Elf King on the other side of the video window: "Mansfield, you are an Elf King after all."
Even in front of guests, it's important to maintain proper etiquette!
Upon hearing the Light Elf King's reminder, the Emerald Elf King finally recovered.
He composed himself, then looked apologetically at Zhao Chen and actually took the initiative to apologize, saying, "Your Excellency Emperor Xiaolong, I am very sorry."
I was rude just now. The technological information you provided is simply incredible, it's just...
If the Emerald Elf King continues to say this, who knows how much longer it will take.
Zhao Chen interrupted politely with a smile, "I wonder if Your Excellency the Emerald Elf King is satisfied with the technological data we exchanged?"
"Satisfied! Satisfied! Very satisfied," the Emerald Elf King said without any politeness.
The Radiant Elf King covered his face beside him.
This Emerald Elf King has a bad temper; once he gets involved in related technologies, he becomes very straightforward and will answer any questions asked.
Even if he had been a little more tactful, he might have been able to use this opportunity to talk to Emperor Xiaolong about something.
But now, you've told me all of these things.
How can he continue the conversation then?
"Since there are no problems."
"Then we can consider this technology transaction a success, right?" Zhao Chen smiled at the Radiant Elf King.
The Radiant Elf King nodded, though he felt helpless inside, he still smiled and said, "Hahahaha."
"We're so naive, we just trust His Majesty the Emperor of the Dragon Clan's integrity, so there's naturally no problem with the technology."
Zhao Chen chuckled inwardly, thinking to himself, "That look you gave me just now didn't mean that at all."
Zhao Chen naturally wouldn't expose the somewhat hypocritical Radiant Elf King in front of him at this moment.
"Since everything is fine."
"Let's leave it at that then." Zhao Chen had barely finished speaking.
The Emerald Elf King was the first to step forward and say, "That won't do!"
Your Majesty Emperor Xiaolong, although the technological data you gave me seems very detailed, there are still some things I don't quite understand.
I need your guidance!
There are even things that the Emerald Elf King can't understand.
The Radiant Elf King and the Azure Water Elf King, standing to the side, were both greatly surprised. This alone showed just how profound the technological foundation of this Supernova Ultimate Bomb was.
"I'm sorry, I may not be able to stay in the Holy Elf Empire for long."
As you all know, the Dragon Empire has many things to deal with in the next phase.
"I also need to do things myself," Zhao Chen said apologetically.
The Emerald Elf King looked worried.
The Radiant Elf King noticed the Emerald Elf King's expression and naturally saw through his thoughts; this fellow Elf King was good in every way.
Her feelings and thoughts are all written on her face and she can't hide them at all, plus she's not very good at expressing herself.
In these kinds of situations, you still need to step in and try to get it done yourself.
"Your Excellency Emperor Xiaolong, I know you are currently very busy."
However, this matter is very important to our Holy Elf Empire, so we still hope that you can..." The Radiant Elf King smiled as he looked at Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen thought for a moment, then held up three fingers: "Then I will only stay here for three days."
Three days from now, no matter what, I will return to the Dragon Empire!
“Three days is enough,” the Emerald Elf King immediately said.
Three days was enough time for him, an outstanding scientist and researcher from the Holy Elf Empire, to understand some of the intricate technological details.
After that, the banquet came to an end.
The Radiant Elf King escorted Zhao Chen to the door of the most luxurious room on the interstellar cruise ship.
"Your Majesty Emperor Xiaolong will rest here for the next three days."
This interstellar cruise ship will orbit the star system surrounding this cosmic stargate for three days, and will return to the stargate within three days.
During this time, we have selected some star systems with nice scenery along the route, which you can visit later.
You should get some rest today.
"I've instructed Mansfield not to disturb you for the next eight hours," the Radiant Elf King said with a smile. "You can rest for a while."
"Thank you," Zhao Chen nodded.
The Azure Water Elf King, standing to the side, smiled and said, "This interstellar cruise ship is the best interstellar cruise ship in our Holy Elf Empire."
There are many great viewpoints here; you can visit them if you have time.
“Okay, I will.” Zhao Chen nodded.
After that, Zhao Chen checked into the suite.
The moment Zhao Chen stepped through the door, the Leopard Woman bypassed him and gave a wink to the guards she had brought with her.
The guards immediately took out some equipment and inspected the entire suite.
Zhao Chen walked to the sofa and said with a light laugh, "Don't worry, the Holy Elf Empire isn't that foolish as to use such low-level tactics in such a high-level diplomatic setting."
“It’s part of our job.” The leopard woman took the initiative to inspect the sofa, and only allowed Zhao Chen to sit down after confirming that there were no problems.
The entire suite was quickly inspected.
Several guards returned to the leopard woman and nodded in acknowledgment.
"Go lie down and rest. Do not come out without permission, or if you hear any unusual noises," the leopard woman commanded.
"Yes." Several guards immediately went through the side door and closed it.
Suddenly, only the Leopard Woman and Zhao Chen remained in the room.
The leopard woman stood silently in a corner of the room, without saying a word or making any movement, as if she had become one with her surroundings.
"There's no need to be so serious. Just find a place to sit." Zhao Chen looked at the leopard woman.
The leopard woman said coldly, "This is my job."
True axis.
Zhao Chen didn't say much. After resting with his eyes closed on the sofa for a few minutes, he immediately started working.
Although he is currently in the Holy Elf Empire, there is still a lot of work for him to take care of.
Time passed little by little.
Zhao Chen suddenly looked up and glanced at the time.
He packed up his work equipment, then stood up and walked towards the door.
The leopard woman immediately followed behind, but this time the guards did not keep up.
Zhao Chen opened the door, stood in the doorway, and looked at the leopard woman following behind him. Knowing her temper, he didn't say anything.
Then walk along the long corridor outside the door in one direction.
“Where do you need to go? I need you to lead the way,” the leopard woman said, following behind Zhao Chen.
As Zhao Chen's personal guard, after boarding the ship, he requested the Holy Elf Empire to provide information on the internal structure of the interstellar cruise ship.
So even though it was the first time the leopard woman had boarded this interstellar cruise ship, she had already memorized every location.
"No need, I remember," Zhao Chen said with a smile.
Taking the nearest floating elevator, Zhao Chen and the Leopard Girl quickly arrived at a viewing platform.
This viewing platform is very quiet, with plenty of vegetation, creating a unique and beautiful scene with the starry universe seen through the transparent glass above.
The leopard woman stopped and stood there, no longer following Zhao Chen. A look of surprise flashed in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
Then he stood there calmly, occasionally glancing around.
Because at this moment, in this quiet viewing platform, there is already someone who has arrived first.
Looking at that figure from behind, it was none other than the Azure Water Elf King.
Judging from the situation, even the most straightforward Leopard Woman could guess that Emperor Xiaolong had come here personally to find the Azure Water Elf King.
As for when the two agreed to meet...
Why are the two of them having a discussion here? I'm curious, but as a bodyguard, I shouldn't overstep my bounds in such matters.
Zhao Chen walked up to the Azure Water Elf King.
"Look, these stars are really beautiful."
"It's like a flower blooming in the universe." The Azure Water Elf King looked at the stars above while gently stroking the plants and flowers around him.
"It is very beautiful," Zhao Chen admitted.
"Saroman said you are a very interesting person."
I've seen a lot of your information before, but this should be the second time we've met, apart from the last time.
"And now, this is our first time meeting alone." The Azure Water Elf King smiled as he looked at Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen nodded: "Yes."
My understanding of you is limited to what I've read in the documents.
"Then why did you actually come here in person?" The Azure Water Elf King looked at Zhao Chen curiously.
Zhao Chen smiled as he looked at the Azure Water Elf King: "With the Azure Water Elf King personally inviting me, how could I possibly refuse?"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"However, I'm very curious, what could possibly warrant His Majesty the Azure Water Elf King speaking to me privately, and..."
Zhao Chen looked around and said, "This place is so big, and it's so obvious how I've walked here."
Can it really be kept secret?
The Azure Water Elf King smiled and explained, "Perhaps His Majesty is not very familiar with this interstellar cruise ship."
This interstellar cruise ship is called the Water Sprite.
I chose this name.
I arranged all the personnel for this interstellar warship.
Although nominally belonging to the High Council of the Holy Elf Empire, it is mainly used for official receptions.
But in [N O V E L I G H T] reality, the true owner is me.
After listening to the explanation from the Azure Water Elf King.
Zhao Chen finally understood; it turned out this was someone else's territory.
"So what do you want to talk to me about?" Zhao Chen asked with interest.
The Azure Water Elf Queen looked at Zhao Chen and said sincerely, "It's about some suggestions from the Dragon Empire regarding its plans to expand its territory in the interstellar civilizations."
"Suggestions? Didn't you already give some suggestions at the welcoming banquet?" Zhao Chen said, feigning ignorance.
"This time the advice is a little different."
I have some people I'd like to introduce to His Majesty.
