The day of the engagent ball ca in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the whole of Tino City was bustling with excitent.
Many people noticed an increase in the number of nobles wandering around in the Imperial Capital.
The sales of major and even ordinary trading associations saw a noticeable boost compared to usual.
Nobles and their entourages from all over the Ense Empire and even other countries were busy purchasing goods from the trading associations.
In a corner of the Imperial Capital, a unique store attracted a lot of attention.
Citizens passing by subconsciously cast their gazes at the building, sneaking peeks while lurking outside.
The towering glass cylinders, spiral staircase, and a gigantic cohesive glass wall over ten ters high truly drew the eye.
A large glowing sign was hung beneath the huge glass.
It was an artistic "Mayer" logo.
Modern people would probably burst out laughing if they saw this.
Isn’t this the architectural style of an Apple flagship store?
Back when it first ca out, how many people, both dostically and internationally, furtively took pictures at various flagship stores?
Who would have thought this boorang would travel through ti and space and land right on the heads of the Tino citizens?
If you ask where the wealthiest people of the Ense Empire are, many would say in Tino City.
Unique products from all around the world converge here, and Tino citizens have seen all sorts of grand scenes.
But today...
Well, this is indeed a scene they have never witnessed before.
The aesthetics from the industrial era clashed with the current era, to the point that even so minor nobles hesitated in front of this store.
"What are they selling? Sothing even a necromancer couldn’t afford for organ trading?"
At this mont, our protagonist Louis, or rather, now he should be called Mayer, was wearing a top hat, greeting his guests at the entrance.
The crowd, previously bustling and nosy, suddenly felt a profound sense of pressure.
So professionals and guards accompanying nobles instantly tensed up.
So even drew their weapons, shielding people behind them.
A group looked at the two black-robed figures approaching, cold sweat dripping down.
"Ladies and gentlen, please do not panic. Today, we’re hosting guests invited by the Empire, two emissaries from the Dragon Empire."
Louis took off his hat and said:
"I apologize if this has caused any inconvenience to everyone."
"Please enjoy the refreshnts we’ve provided as a gesture of apology."
He clapped his hands, and employees dressed in uniform erged from the store, which had not yet opened for business, carrying bottles and small paper cups.
They were all carefully selected by Louis, and had been training for days just to handle this debut of the Mayer Comrce Association.
And Louis directly approached the two figures in black robes.
Oh, wait, to be precise, they weren’t human.
The nas of the Sapphire Dragon couple were too long.
So Louis just used their abbreviated nas.
"Mr. Sean, Lady Fafnir, welco to Tino City."
The sapphire male dragon nad Sean snorted:
"Are you the wicked brat from Ense sent to receive us? Ow, Fafnir, why are you stepping on again?"
Lady Fafnir, the sapphire female dragon, cast a sharp gaze at Louis and, after a mont, bared her teeth:
"What are you?"
"Why the insult?"
But Louis still removed his hat, calmly saying:
"Mayer Morgan Rockefeller, president of the Mayer Comrce Association, here to et the two of you."
Fafnir stared intently at Louis, making him quite uncomfortable.
What’s this dragoness doing? Her husband is right there!
Just as he was about to say "Madam, that’s inappropriate," Fafnir snorted and said:
"A young one of the sa kin, haven’t seen one in years. Your Highness Louis is considerate."
Louis was a bit bewildered, but soon caught on.
It must be the effect of the Sinful Dragon Armor and the Greed Dominator.
Does she not know the recognized value of the Sapphire Dragon lineage in humans?
Maybe that’s why Fafnir mistook him as one of them.
Louis deliberately curved his lips into a smile and said:
"You misunderstood, I am human."
Sean, frowning, examined him and said:
"It does have the Sapphire Dragon scent, I can sense the strong kinship essence, but there’s also an alien aura."
Fafnir frowned and whispered:
"Are you a product of the mass-produced dragon project?"
Louis shook his head again: "Even though I don’t know what you an, I don’t think so."
Fafnir sighed: "If you think not, then you’re not, the King did go overboard back then."
With that, Louis’ curiosity piqued.
Seeing Fafnir tight-lipped, Louis felt a tickling curiosity, like being gently scratched by a cat’s paw.
A glance.
No explanation.
Another glance.
Still no explanation.
The thirst for hidden information and knowledge roared within Louis at every mont.
"I want to know! I want to understand! Make them speak!"
Louis genuinely thought this and directly asked.
Seeing this self-proclaid sa kin of Mayer finally "couldn’t hold it in," Sean revealed a smug smile:
"It’s normal you don’t want others to know. After all, our Dragon King had a wild imagination, attempting to bypass the laws of natural reproduction to artificially breed Sapphire Dragons!"
Louis paused for a mont, internally exclaiming ’Oh my!’
What a strange sight, could it be that the sapphire dragon king is also a biologist, trying to play with test-tube babies in another world?
Fafnir gently patted Louis on the shoulder and said:
"I rember the King deciphered so bloodline abilities of other races, intending to infuse them into dragon eggs for stronger offspring."
"As a result, many baby dragons were born with various bloodline disorders, left unattended and eventually dying."
"Later, this project was halted by the Dragon Empire."
"We thought we were the last Sapphire Dragons remaining in the world, didn’t expect any experint survivors."
Louis felt his head itch.
This situation seed vaguely familiar.
"First it was you regretting your shadow, now it’s Sapphire Dragon King Great Snake Pill?"
"What’s next, so incombustible material?"
Sean snorted:
"Probably related to our Sapphire Dragons’ status, Dragon Empire doesn’t acknowledge us anymore, bearing our na doesn’t bring benefits, only troubles."
"Don’t press him anymore, the wicked human kid ant well this ti, eting our kin was worth the trip."
Louis shook his head, emphasizing once more: "I am truly human."
As for whether the two dragons believed it or misunderstood, it didn’t concern him.
Humorously, he said:
"His Highness Louis customized an outfit from our Mayer Comrce Association, both he and Lady Beatrice were very pleased with our work."
"Out of respect for you two, they hope to entrust your ball attire to our Mayer Comrce Association."
The two dragons instantly beca serious: "Are you trying to scam money from dragons?"
Louis smiled and said:
"No, no money needed, having you both as our Mayer representatives is enough for us to provide custom attire for you for free."
Fafnir said: "We won’t endorse you."
"Of course, it’s not endorsent."
Louis leaned forward, elaborating on the concept of ambassadorship.
The two dragons were half-skeptical, half-intrigued.
What’s this dragon up to?
Really freeloading?
They intended to refuse.
But the allure of free stuff was too tempting.
...
Half an hour later.
The two dragons left the Mayer Comrce Association satisfied.
Among the people gathered around out front, a noble couldn’t resist asking:
"President yer, those two dragons are...?"
Louis put his fingertip to his lips.
The scene quieted down.
"They are honored guests invited by the Empire, coming to order a Sapphire Dragon attire for international visits, only our Mayer Comrce Association in all Ense knows how to craft it."
"Is it the sa one you’re wearing?"
"Mine is just the basic version."
Seeing so doubting looks below, Louis tapped his cane and said:
"Ladies and gentlen, please clear the way, I must deliver this attire to His Highness, today’s star of Ense."
Without caring for the stunned expressions of the crowd, he made his way towards the Imperial Palace.
