Seeing that Melia had yet to agree, Iris asked, "Melia, what are you still thinking about? Or do you think that a week is too long and you want to shorten the time?"
Faced with Iris' continuous questioning, Melia's face darkened as she looked at the expressions of the elders.
In the end, she said, "Alright! I'll bring back the Sword of Laszka in a week!"
Having achieved her goal, Iris smiled triumphantly and left with the other elders.
Only Elder Al and Melia were left in the meeting hall.
"Melia, you were careless this time."
Elder Al's words did not sound like he was blaming Melia, but Melia knew that Elder Al was disappointed in her!
Melia slowly walked back to her room and looked at scenery along the way. Her thoughts drifted far away.
After being cursed by the giants, their number became fewer and fewer. No matter how powerful they were, they were outnumbered!
This time, the loss of the sword to the humans caused alarm bells to go off in her heart.
If the humans joined forces with the Laszka tribe to attack the Dragon Kingdom, she could not make sure they would not be wiped off.
Ever since the death of her father, Odin, the Dragon Kingdom was not as strong as before under her leadership. Although the lack of manpower was one of the factors, the internal division was also a huge reason.
Many decisions that could strengthen the dragon race could not be implemented because of the opposition from Iris and her supporters. As a result, the dragon race gradually declined. Everyone attributed the reason to her inability to rule.
More and more people doubted her ability, and more and more people supported Iris.
The loss of the sword was undoubtedly an opportunity for Iris to rise. It was not difficult to imagine that if she left the Dragon Kingdom, they would need a decision-maker during her absence.
The twelfth elder had already decided that Iris would be the person.
She was afraid that once she left the Dragon Kingdom, Iris would persuade all the elders to be on her side. Then, even if she really brought the sword back, the Dragon Kingdom would no longer be hers.
Even if their kingdom was not as glorious as it was in the past few years, no one would dare to offend her easily. She was also very confident that she would be able to strengthen the kingdom in the future.
This was also the task that her father had entrusted to her. No matter what, she had to guard the position of the Dragon Queen.
She knew Iris's character too well, so she absolutely could not leave. As for finding the sword, she had to think of another strategy.
When Li Mo walked into the room happily, he saw Melia lying on the sofa at the end of the bed with a sad face. Her eyes were blank, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
"Your Majesty, what happened?" Li Mo went up and asked softly.
After hearing the voice, Meria sat up in excitement and quickly asked, "Did the three of them tell you where the sword is?"
Melia placed her hopes on Li Mo. If she could get some information, then she would have a way to retrieve the sword quickly.
Looking at the look of anticipation on Melia's face, Li mo sighed softly. "Sigh! I'm sorry. No matter what method I used, they still refused to tell me."
Li Mo lowered his head. He thought that Melia would scold him and the others. She might even kill the three of them. However, after waiting more than ten seconds, there was still no response.
Li Mo raised his eyes and looked at Melia. He saw that her eyes were empty as she looked out of the window. Compared to her previous arrogant and cold appearance, she was now more like an ordinary woman.
He slowly walked to the back of the sofa and raised his hand to gently massage Melia's temples.
"Your Majesty, is there something troubling you?"
Li Mo's gentle voice made Melia feel even more helpless. As she allowed Li Mo to massage her, Melia's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
"The elders and Iris have found out about the missing sword."
The moment he thought about Iris' violent temper, Li Mo felt his scalp go numb. Looking at the worried look on Melia's face, he knew that she must have gotten a lot of scolding from Iris and the others.
Melia said self-deprecatingly, "Hehe, I'm the dignified queen of the Dragon Kingdom, yet I was fooled by some scumbags. I even let them take the sword. It was not surprising that the elders were angry."
Li Mo continued to massage gently, quietly listening to Melia confide in him.
"They want me to promise that I'll bring back the Sword of Laszka within a week. Otherwise, I'll have to abdicate as Queen of the Dragon Kingdom."
Li Mo did not expect that the loss of the sword would have such serious consequences within a few hours!
Melia quietly voiced out all the doubts in her heart. When he heard that she was unable to leave the Dragon Kingdom, a shrewd look flashed across Li Mo's eyes.
Perhaps this was his chance to leave the Dragon Palace!
Even if he had a powerful system, if he wanted to increase his magic power, all he needed to do was to constantly have sex with Melia.
However, in the Dragon Kingdom, no matter how powerful his magic power was, he was only a slave. Furthermore, he was currently practicing dragon magic. If he was exposed, it was very likely that he would be immediately executed.
Hence, no matter how powerful his magic was, it would be useless!
Moreover, even if he had the sword with him, as long as he was still in the Dragon Palace, it had to be hidden in the interspatial ring. The sword would only be scrap metal to him here.
Ever since Li Mo transmigrated to the Saka continent, he had been in the Dragon Palace. His range of activities was also pitifully small, and he had to hide from Iris as well.
There were so many races on the Saka continent. He wanted to leave the Dragon Palace and see the rest of the continent. He wanted to see the women of other races and feel the different cultures and customs.
He wanted to bring the sword and command the legendary tribe.
The plan ion to leave the Dragon Palace continued to ferment in his heart and take shape!
Li Mo longed for freedom!
After Melia vented all her grievances, Li Mo stopped what he was doing.
He walked around the sofa and lifted Melia's head gently. After sitting down, he placed her head on his thigh and gently stroked her silver hair with his fingers.
"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion."
After hearing Li Mo's words, Melia's eyes were half open as she waited for the next part.
"I'll help you with this matter! I'll go look for the Sword of Laszka, and you wait for my news in the Dragon Palace."
Afraid that Melia would refuse, Li Mo immediately continued, "When I was in the Sacred Ocean Kingdom, father had many dealings with the Weiya Kingdom, and I also know about the Yass mercenary group. I'll go and scout for news first."
