It was said to be a teleportation, but that teleportation magic wasn't cast by Ligurit. Ellie, who was following behind Ligurit, couldn't feel any magic radiating from Ligurit.
After simply standing in front of the Platinum Dragon Lord's hanging scroll, Ligurit just said, "Alright," and then the white light of teleportation magic flashed. The next second, Ellie and the others were directly teleported into an unfamiliar room.
The "Platinum Dragon Lord" waiting for Ellie in this room greeted Ellie and the others very politely. After all... that wasn't the Platinum Dragon Lord's true body, but the armor that Shalltear had put a hole in.
"Welcome, friends. I don't have much to offer you here, please bear with me," the Platinum Dragon Lord said, while gesturing for everyone to sit down first.
The place they were teleported to was not the spacious hall seen in the anime, but a room with a strong homey feel. From the decor, it looked very much like the home of a slightly well-off commoner.
However, the Platinum Dragon Lord's armor standing in this rustic room felt very out of place. So, what Ligurit said earlier about having the Platinum Dragon Lord prepare, was that an implicit suggestion for the Platinum Dragon Lord to appear in this form to meet people, concealing his true body?
But for Ellie, who had already seen the script, this disguise was ineffective. Besides, even without knowing the script, Ellie's True Ancestor physique could still see through the Platinum Dragon Lord's disguise. After all, there was nothing inside that white armor. I wonder if Chao Lu could see through this.
"Armor?" Chao Lu tilted her head, asking in her signature emotionless tone.
"Haha! I apologize, due to some special reasons, I have no choice but to meet you all in this form," the Platinum Dragon Lord explained. Special reasons? Not directly revealing his true body, is he trying to hide something?
"Ellie-sama mentioned the term Dragon Lord. I thought I would see a True Dragon King, but I didn't expect it to be just a suit of armor. It seems the Dragon Race hasn't recovered from the last war? It's quite disappointing," Chao Lu said without any politeness.
"..." Chao Lu's slightly sarcastic words made the Platinum Dragon Lord fall silent. Although it was armor, Ellie could clearly feel that the Platinum Dragon Lord's gaze was fixed on Chao Lu.
"This is Chao Lu, a Guardian of Sky City," Ligurit immediately stepped in to introduce Chao Lu's identity. Thinking about it, Chao Lu was a subordinate of the Eight Greed Kings back then, and the Dragon Race was almost wiped out by them, right?
Now that Chao Lu, a subordinate of the Eight Greed Kings, has come knocking, won't this lead to a direct fight? One must know that the Platinum Dragon Lord deeply resents the Transmigrators who polluted this world, and now a Transmigrator's subordinate is right in front of him... Uh... "A Guardian of Sky City? But I've never seen you before," the Platinum Dragon Lord asked with a hint of doubt in his tone, not reacting as aggressively as Ellie had imagined.
Never seen Chao Lu before? Does that mean Chao Lu wasn't directly involved in the war between the Eight Greed Kings and the Dragon Race back then? This could be considered a piece of information, right?
"Unfortunately, when the esteemed Lords fought against your Dragon Race, I had not yet been born. So, everything I know about your Dragon Race and Dragon Lords is through documents. This time, I thought I would finally see what kind of Dragon Lord was defeated by my master, but I never expected it to be like this."
Chao Lu continued to mock the Platinum Dragon Lord, even Ellie couldn't understand why Chao Lu was mocking him like this. However, for the conversation to proceed smoothly, she should step in!
"Chao Lu, that's enough," Ellie said to Chao Lu, feigning a look of displeasure.
"I apologize... Ellie-sama." Chao Lu obediently lowered her head and took a step back. This action clearly seemed like she wanted to push Ellie into the spotlight? Hmm? Could it be that Chao Lu's purpose in mocking the Platinum Dragon Lord so much was to push herself forward? Is she trying to praise her to death?
"This is Iri-meimei, Princess of the Ainz Ooal Gown Magic Kingdom," Ligurit hastily introduced Ellie's identity.
"The Princess of the Magic Kingdom? Then I've truly been neglectful..." Before the Platinum Dragon Lord could finish his sentence, Ellie spoke first.
"I'm here as a junior of Ligurit, not in my capacity as the Princess of the Magic Kingdom, so there's no need for formalities," Ellie said.
