The news of the Dragon King's early arrival had been widely spread throughout the Royal Court. Ever since, people began guessing the reason that he had arrived ahead of time. Some even claimed that they had seen the Dragon King riding a giant roc in the sky.
King Kuari was willing to boastfully show that he had the Dragon King in his grip. So, he held a grand welcoming banquet the next night. He invited all the nobles of Norland.
Gu Shenwei felt like a rare and valuable animal from some exotic place. He received lots of attention and compliments, but no respect.
For the people in Norland, "the Dragon King" was just a nickname. Like "the Machete King", "the King of the Spear" and "the Mighty King", this nickname meant nothing to them. It was not until attending the banquet that he realized entirely that what Fang Wenshi had warned was true.
