The next day.

In the banquet hall of the Everlasting Castle, while the servants and maids of the castle were busy preparing for the banquet, at the other end of the banquet hall, in front of the large French window that served as a temporary resting place, a group of people from the lord

The alliance's queen, nobles, commanders and other lords were gathered around overlooking the bustling Neverwinter City like a giant construction site and sighing with emotion.

Half a month ago, they all thought that Neverwinter City could not be defended.

After all, those attacking the city were two adult black dragons, a dozen powerful red-robed wizards, and a large undead army from the Swamp of the Dead. With that kind of force, they could destroy anyone in their alliance of lords except Baldur's Gate and Silvermoon City.

Countries or cities are more than enough.

In addition, the new Queen of Neverwinter in Neverwinter City was "incorrectly placed", and it was because of the Scorching Sun Tournament that she forced Lord Daggett Neverember to leave. Although many of them were forced to leave due to such things,

People also got involved and promoted the result, but after all, they had no friendship with the new Queen of Neverwinter, and the Queen of Neverwinter seemed to have some serious conflict with the Lord of the Dawn?

Therefore, after discussion and multiple considerations, they decided that while the lords would prepare for war and protect themselves, they also privately agreed on a more 'appropriate' time to send out troops. One was to test and observe the situation in Neverwinter City and the

The new Queen of Neverwinter's ability will help them preserve their strength and make preparations for the undead disaster and large-scale invasion of red-robed wizards that may break out next.

But no idea...

What caught them all off guard was that when their various lords were preparing their own defenses and preparing to send troops to Neverwinter City to rescue or check the situation, the siege battle had just started one day, and the Queen of Neverwinter unexpectedly

By his own strength, he killed two adult black dragons, captured several red-robed wizards alive, and defeated a massive undead army of at least ten or two hundred thousand people?

To be honest, when they received the news at that time, almost all of them subconsciously thought it was fake news and were a little unbelievable or simply dismissed it.

But in the end, when many parties finally confirmed that it was indeed the truth, these lords who were still somewhat disdainful of Neverwinter City and the Queen of Neverwinter finally couldn't sit still, so this joint visit and

They all came to Neverwinter in the name of celebration.

Moreover, this time their attitude was very low. Even if they could not see the legendary and powerful Queen of Neverwinter on the day of her visit, none of their lords dared to be dissatisfied at all and still patiently

Waiting in the castle and waiting patiently until this afternoon, I finally got the confirmed news that the Queen of Neverwinter would entertain and meet with them this afternoon?

Although it is indeed quite strange to hold a banquet in the afternoon when it is neither early nor late, and it is not consistent with the etiquette of various places, but as long as they can see the Neverwinter Queen, they can't care so much.

This is the main reason why they gather here.

They had to wait for the maids and servants to finish setting up, wait for the banquet to officially begin, and wait for the arrival of the Neverwinter Queen who had been waiting for them all day. But before that, they naturally needed to find some topics to pass the time.

"Look!"

"That dragon, in the open space at the dock, should be the dragon from Neverwinter, right?"

"oh!"

"That should be it."

"Don't you even have to think about it?"

"Since it can lie there without being attacked or disturbed, and the Neverwinter guards and residents in the city who come and go are not afraid of it, there is definitely no other possibility."

"Right!"

"Well……"

"Looking from here, it should be over ten meters tall and over forty or even fifty meters long. It is obviously an adult dragon!"

"only……"

"Why is it so... so fat?"

"yes!"

"That is different from all the giant dragons we have seen, and it is completely different from the two adult black dragons that were killed at the dock."

"Hey!"

"My lords, I bet that its weight is definitely twice as much as the two black dragons combined, or more?"

"Ha ha!"

"It is indeed a bit too fat. No wonder Queen Neverwinter gave it the name 'Fat Orange'. It is indeed well-deserved!"

"Isn't it?"

"But its strength is also extraordinary. I heard that on the day of the battle in Neverwinter City, it suppressed the two black dragons at the beginning. If it hadn't been outnumbered, it might have actually won."

"I heard that too."

"But it's a pity that it was defeated in the end, and the defeat was because it was too fat. I heard that it was beaten very badly at that time. If its owner, the Queen of Neverwinter, hadn't rushed back in time,

I’m afraid we won’t be able to see it now.”

"Okay, no matter what, it is a giant dragon after all, and its deterrence is self-evident."

"yes!"

"No matter how fat it is, it is still a red dragon!"

After all, the banquet was being prepared, and Queen Neverwinter was not present, so the queens, nobles, commanders and other lords from the Lords Alliance just gathered in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window in boredom, and looked through the wiped

The spotless glass overlooked the pier in the distance, pointing at the red dragon lying there and taking a nap, and they started talking and laughing.

"Everyone!"

"That's the red dragon Hibberchard, I recognize it."

"The red dragon is the leader of the five colored evil dragons. Generally, when they reach adulthood, they will be stronger than other dragons."

"It is said that when attacking, their teeth can easily bite through any armor and other dragon scales, and can break the strongest and strongest iron shield; when defending, they are covered with scales all over the body, which can withstand various large and small weapons and magic.

Attack; the dragon's breath breathed out is the most terrifying scorching flame, enough to defeat or defeat any army on the land of Faerûn in an instant?"

"but……"

"As far as I know, the red dragon Xibochard should live in the gray dwarf city 'City of Blades' in the Dark Dungeon. It serves as the red dragon blacksmith and is mainly responsible for helping the gray dwarves light the furnace and

Forging and enchanting certain weapons and armor, they are still enshrined by the gray dwarves."

"As for why it ran to the ruins of the Hanging City of Dorumbude and was captured by the Queen of Neverwinter, I don't know."

"After all, the ruins of the hanging city of Dorumbude are the lair of the evil dracolich Dogothos, which is indeed a bit unbelievable."

At this time, after everyone discussed for a while, Lyra Silverhand, the lord of Waterdeep City, suddenly spoke and introduced hesitantly.

As for why she knows so many secret things that most people don't know, maybe it has something to do with her mysterious and powerful archmage husband who lives in the "Blackstaff Tower" in Waterdeep City?

But whether it is or is not, we don’t know, and no one will delve into that kind of thing anyway.

"certainly!"

"The dracolich Dogothos and the evil mad mage Sammaster are both dead, along with the great incarnation of the Lord of the Dawn?"

As he spoke, Leila Silverhand, the lord of Waterdeep City, thought for a while and then mentioned another matter that had already caused a lot of fuss with some complicated emotions.

"Maybe the gray dwarves just can't feed it anymore?"

"or……"

"Is it because the 'Dragon Madness' was causing trouble some time ago?"

At this time, a lord suddenly expressed his guess.

However, since there was no evidence, he waved his hand before he finished speaking. It was obvious that even he did not take it too seriously.

"No matter why it appeared in the ruins of the hanging city of Dorumbude, one thing should be clear to everyone."

"Liches will not die easily unless their phylactery can be found?"

At this time, hearing everyone mention the Lich, the Supreme Mage of Silvermoon City, Tern Hornblade, finally spoke and reiterated a certain key before continuing to sigh:

"cough……"

"I won't go into details about the Lord of the Dawn. That's not something we can say or should judge."

"only……"

"The city of Neverwinter has an enmity with the dracolich Dogothos and the evil mad mage Sammaster. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse?"

Obviously, Silvermoon City is obviously very worried about this.

Because they know better than anyone how powerful the dracolich Dogothos and the evil mad mage Sammaster are, and as they belong to the Lords Alliance like Neverwinter, it is absolutely not true to say they are not worried at all.

possible!

However, in view of the power of the Queen of Neverwinter City, they in Silvermoon City finally chose to lean towards Neverwinter City and took this opportunity to let him, the Supreme Mage, come here in person.

"anyway!"

"The dracolich Dogothos and the evil mad mage Sammaster have been destroyed. There will no longer be any threats in the short term. The town of Thunderlon and the Swamp of the Dead where the Dragon Cult is entrenched have also been cleared, leaving the city of Neverwinter

There is no longer any threat to the overland trade route with Waterdeep, which is really excellent news!"

"This time Neverwinter City won a great victory, and Fandulin's lost mine was opened. I believe Neverwinter City will definitely be more prosperous in the future, right?"

"This should be good news for us and the Lords Alliance?"

Leila Silverhand, the lord of Waterdeep City, smiled heartily and tried to liven up the atmosphere, hoping to remove the haze caused by what she had just accidentally mentioned from everyone's minds.

Although, Neverwinter City is prosperous, not Waterdeep City, but she believes that the close proximity to Neverwinter City and the unhindered trade agreement between the Lords Alliance will definitely allow everyone to get some benefit.

"That's right!"
