Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 1133: The Real Identity Of The Elder

Chapter 1133: The Real Ident.i.ty Of The Elder

-----

Like that, I took mostly every person in the room's request. Every one of them, I used all my minds to a.s.sess them and immediately started doing preparations back inside the divine realm. The Emperor still was slightly doubtful, but everyone else seemed to have a lot of faith on me. The mark of the frost queen really did wonders there. And I was able to gain their trust and also their future wors.h.i.+p without doing anything overly dangerous or flashy like showing my divine power without proper explanations.

I guess we can call this a day then. The second I got everything arranged my divine realm has begun moving around rapidly. Several people volunteered to the jobs I was offering. Most of my mortals are all Rank 6 Peak Stage already. I've been keeping them that way as well for convenience's sake instead of letting them advance to Rank 7 and become G.o.ds.

I guess having recruited so many people, amongst them, very capable ones, worked very well at the end. I also explained to the people here my sect accepted all races, so I had elves, beast-kin, lizardmen, humans, and the like right away. Some seemed slightly confused why would I put my trust in other race than ice giants, but at the end everyone seemed okay with it.

The only ones I cannot possibly show them are the Vampires, they absolute hate them. I guess with good reasons, but that doesn't mean they should target their hate against innocent people. Nonetheless, it is better to just not involve them for the moment. I do plan to eventually make Vampires become just another race in the world, widely accepted, but its going to be a rough road, I gotta earn their trust more.

Once everything was done, I received several souvenirs from the rulers, mostly food and sweets. My daughters were devouring everything they gifted to me, we had several food and sweets from all around the continent, I was honestly amazed by how diverse the cuisine of this continent was.

And as we were having a feast in a private room before leaving, the Court Elder called to me out of the blue.

"Lord Drake, maybe I have a second with you?"

"Oh? Sure."

I walked outside the room, as he led me to his office.

"Lord Drake, I've also received an oracle of the frost queen. I've been told you are not only her guaridna, but you've inherited her inheritance."

"Eh?! Wait, she told you that?!"

I was surprised.

"(Oi! Why did you do that?!)"

"(I'm sorry Drake, but he's my descendant, I trust him more than you think. I've been talking to him through divine messages. The reason he believed you so soon was because I told him personally to trust you. If it wasn't for his help, n.o.body else would had trusted you either, right?)"

"(Hahh… I guess you're right. But how much did you told him?)"

"(Well…)"

"She said you are the Dragon King! And a powerful G.o.d that has defeated several soul fragments of the Evil Oberon!"

…I guess he knows a lot.

"Hahhh… Please don't tell anybody about this." I sighed.

"Hehe, don't worry. I am just honored to be at your side, Lord Drake. I am part of the ancient t.i.tan's bloodline of the Frost Queen. I am an Ice t.i.tan, in fact, and my actual Rank is 9! I am hiding my powers through a sealing technique, handling mortal affairs. My powers are not creation oriented like yours, sadly." He sighed. "There wasn't much I could do regarding the hunger problems."

"However, I've been doing whatever I can to protect the children of my ancestor, but I can only do much with the other ten G.o.ds at my side." Sighed the Court Elder. "[Fate] is a tricky power, it doesn't allow us to show off too much, or we might get punished. Therefore, we can only act slowly and behind the scenes. But you're a unique being. Please, would it be alright if we could meet with the other G.o.ds? They're all expectant to see you!"

Wait, what!? This little old man's a t.i.tan?!

"Drake, trust them. They might only be eleven, but they're all my family, I trust them and none of them is a traitor, I know this as a fact as I can read through their souls easily by merely willing it." The Frost Queen rea.s.sured my doubts. "I planned this for a while now, so this is the perfect opportunity for you to join their sect- no, to let them join you instead."

"Hoh… I see how it is, so you're offering me eleven powerful G.o.ds as my subordinates?" I asked while smiling.

"…I-I am not saying they will be your subordinates! Don't get so insolent again…" Sighed the Frost Queen. "But allies! An Alliance between my family of G.o.ds, the Sect of the Primeval Frost Soul Court and yours… whatever your sect's name is."

"Okay, I get it." I told her, looking back at the Court Elder.

"Sure, bring it on, where are they?" I wondered.

"In here! They're coming right now."

Knock, knock.

The door opened, ten people entered the room. They were all Ice Giants; some were manly men that looked like strong warriors. Others were beautiful women with charming beauty, some looked like old men and women, filled with wisdom.

But these people and their attire… I remember them, they're the servants that walk around the whole palace. I think that old lady cooked for everyone just now? And that charming lady over there was receiving everyone.

Wow, so they were all G.o.ds from the beginning. But their divinities are sealed. I guess I lack the ability to properly detect sealed divinities, or maybe I was too carefree to check their statuses.

"We've used the Primeval Frost Soul Arts to seal our divine powers. Of course, we can unseal them at any time, but this way we can camouflage between mortals. This palace is our Shared Divine Domain, which we've made by cutting pieces of our divine realm and fused them into the floating palace left behind by the Frost Queen." The Court Elder explained.

Just as he said that the other G.o.ds greeted me.
