After another period of waiting.

The video window in front of Gladys the Fairy lit up again.

Gladys, the female elf, looked nervously at Charlotte opposite her.

Charlotte said with a serious expression, "I just reported your request to His Majesty the Emperor."

His Majesty the Emperor accepts your invitation.

"I am willing to travel to your Holy Elf Empire."

Upon hearing this, the fairy Gladys breathed a sigh of relief, her face beaming with uncontrollable joy.

In this way, his mission was successfully completed.

“But we also made a few requests,” Charlotte said seriously.

“Please speak,” Gladys the elf said, looking at Charlotte.

"First point."

During this invitation to the Holy Elf Empire, you must ensure the safety of our Emperor.

Any mishap will be unacceptable to our Dragon Empire!

"I can guarantee this with my life."

Although we have not yet signed an alliance agreement, as honored guests...

Within the cosmic borders of our Holy Elf Empire, the safety of His Majesty the Dragon Emperor will be absolutely guaranteed.

"I can't guarantee that nothing dangerous will happen!" Gladys the elf assured her confidently.

This is a situation where a prominent figure from one side attends an invitation from another prominent figure.

The inviting party takes this kind of thing very seriously. If any major problems arise in this matter, it could escalate into a diplomatic dispute!

"Second point."

Although I believe your assurances, we cannot entrust the safety of our Emperor entirely to you.

Therefore, this time, we will dispatch the Imperial Guard fleet and a fleet group to escort them.

"The scale will be around 30,000 interstellar warships," Charlotte said.

Gladys the elf hesitated for a moment, but quickly nodded and said, "That's no problem."

Given His Majesty the Dragon Emperor's status, we can fully understand his willingness to visit our Holy Elf Empire with an escort fleet.

"Third point."

We, the Emperor of the Dragons, are willing to trust your side and, after a brief contact, will travel to your Holy Elf Empire.

Then we also need to see your sincerity.

"We need to learn some of your technological skills," Charlotte said.

Upon hearing this request, the female elf Gladys's expression changed slightly.

She asked, "I can't give you a direct answer to that, but could you tell me what kind of technology you'd like to learn?"

"Space exploration technology, interplanetary travel technology," Charlotte said directly.

Upon hearing this request, the fairy Gladys's furrowed brows relaxed considerably.

"this......"

"If there are more than two."

All we need is interplanetary travel technology.

Now that we have formed an alliance in the future, whether we are supporting the Holy Elf Empire or embarking on an expedition to devour the civilization universe...

This technology is needed in all of them.

We are also close to completing the research and development of this technology.

"I just wanted to see your technology for comparison," Charlotte said calmly.

After a moment's hesitation, the female elf Gladys nodded and said, "We can guide you in some aspects of space travel technology."

However, because we didn't bring many researchers or detailed scientific data with us this time..."

"These can all be postponed."

Since you were able to come to our universe, you must have used this technological device.

If this technological device is disposable, please lend it to us for research.

"If this isn't a one-time visit, please give us some time to take notes," Charlotte said.

Charlotte's demands, one after another, were actually decreasing in level.

In this situation, the fairy Gladys had no chance to refuse.

She nodded in agreement.

............

Afterwards, the female elf commander Gladys boarded the interstellar warship of the Dragon Empire for the first time.

However, it was merely a T6-class interstellar transport ship.

But even though it's just an interstellar transport ship, it still reveals some of the technological level of this interstellar empire.

As the fairy Gladys walked along, her eyes were constantly looking around.

The more she looked at it, the more horrified she became.

Although this is only the interior of the starship, it is only from the inside of these starships.

She discovered that these internal compartment modules were actually far more sophisticated than those of the Holy Elf Empire.

Some of their craftsmanship is even unmatched by the current Holy Elf Empire.

"We've arrived." The female officer leading the way stopped at the door of a cabin section.

“Thank you.” Gladys the elf stepped across the compartment.

Upon arriving at the next section, we discovered that it was actually a 'cargo warehouse'.

The warehouse contained her 'gift' to the Holy Elf Empire.

Although this gift was not something she was very willing to give.

"Hello, Commander from the Holy Elf Empire." A male voice came from afar.

That was a corridor located on the half-empty wall on one side of the warehouse, and Gladys herself had just stepped into this corridor.

I was just so attracted by the goods in the warehouse that I didn't notice the person who came at first.

The newcomer was surrounded by several female officers.

This person was the only male among them.

He was also dressed in military uniform, and had a special aura about him. His eyes were peaceful, giving people a sense of reassurance.

However, Gladys dared not underestimate the man before her.

Because according to the information, the man in front of her...

It must be the man at the pinnacle of power in the Xiaolong Empire, the Xiaolong Emperor.

Gladys immediately stood up straight and bowed with the highest etiquette of the Holy Elf Empire, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty the Emperor of the Wraith Dragon."

I am Gladys, a high elf from the Holy Elf Empire.

On behalf of the Holy Elf Empire, I extend our empire's respect and goodwill to you.

I hope we can become lifelong allies.

"Mm." Zhao Chen smiled and nodded, then walked directly to Gladys's side.

Compared to Gladys's open and honest demeanor, the female elf seemed somewhat nervous at this moment.

Charlotte has told me everything about you.

As for myself, I won't waste time introducing myself.

On behalf of the Dragon Empire, I welcome our guests. Zhao Chen nodded slightly to Gladys.

Then, Zhao Chen pointed directly to the square cube-shaped device in the cargo warehouse that was as tall as a ten-story building and said, "Is this the technological equipment you use for inter-space travel?"

The reason Zhao Chen came in person and even made contact with this Gladys was because of this.

On the one hand, it's because I'll be traveling to the Holy Elf Empire with Gladys later, so it's normal for the two of us to get to know each other.

On the other hand, Zhao Chen wanted to understand the Holy Elf Empire's technology in inter-universe travel as quickly as possible.

This is a technology that the Dragon Empire urgently needs right now.

It must be developed and put into use as soon as possible.

"Yes.

This equipment is called the 'Water Dragon Gate - One-Way Single-Purpose Delivery Type'.

It is small in size and easy to carry.

To use it, you first need to find a suitable spatial coordinate location, and then input a target spatial coordinate location.

Then it was launched like an interstellar cannonball.

After it is launched, it will deploy and activate at the target spatial coordinates.

Establish a spatial channel to the target spatial coordinates of another universe.

However, this is a one-time event, and the number of deliveries is limited.

"With the standard fleet configuration of a Level 6 technological civilization like ours, a single water gate like this can only allow three thousand interstellar warships to be deployed into space," Gladys explained.

"etc?

"You promised us before that you would allow us to escort the Emperor's fleet with 30,000 interstellar warships. How are you going to deliver them?" The bodyguard, Leopard Woman, frowned and interrupted.

Zhao Chen frowned slightly. His leopard-woman bodyguard was a bit impatient, especially when it came to this security issue.

Charlotte and Lilith had spoken to her about the trip beforehand, [N O V E L I G H T] and they probably emphasized quite a few things.

Without even thinking, I know what they're talking about.

"Please rest assured about that."

At that time, I will first arrange for a fleet to return to the Holy Elf Empire.

"Then a fleet will return, carrying enough of this equipment to support the Emperor's escort fleet on intergalactic voyages," Gladys promised.

Are there any restrictions on this round trip?

"What about the round trip time?" Zhao Chen was more concerned about the performance of this thing.

"Inter-space travel is also a technology similar to subspace travel."

It is not a direct spatial jump.

The time consumed varies depending on the distance between universes.

Regarding the distance between the Dragon Empire universe and our Holy Elf Empire universe.

Using this device, a single interplanetary journey takes five hours.

In addition, excessive inter-space travel cannot be carried out in a region with weak spatial density, otherwise it will lead to spatial instability and other problems.

However, the space in this location is very stable, and there is no problem even if one hundred of these water dragon gates are used at once.

Therefore, Your Majesty can rest assured in all aspects. Gladys assumed that the Emperor's distrust of the technology was the reason for his many questions.

"Since this is a one-time use model, are there any non-one-time use models?"

Or perhaps something with better performance.

"It's possible to build long-term, inter-universe stargates, similar to stargates," Zhao Chen asked again.

This emperor really is a walking encyclopedia of questions.

Gladys couldn't very well refuse, and these issues weren't exactly secrets.

She simply replied, "Yes."

Currently, our Holy Elf Empire has publicly disclosed three types of inter-space travel devices.

This is one of them.

These are unidirectional single-deployment type, short-term bidirectional deployment type, and permanent bidirectional stargate type.

The former is what we see now.

The second type, the'short-term two-way delivery type,' can maintain its existence for a short period of time and, like a small stargate, can travel in both directions to deliver fleets.

The third type, the 'permanent two-way stargate', is, as the name suggests, a stargate used between universes.

But to be honest, even our Holy Elf Empire has a hard time fully mastering this stargate-shaped water dragon gate technology.

Before this, we had only built two such water dragon gates and star gates.

After all, this requires connection with other universes.

The two universes that were on friendly terms with us were invaded and destroyed by the Devouring Civilization.

"The stargate we built has also been destroyed." Gladys's voice was filled with anger.

She then added, "However, these three models will also have three levels: large, medium, and small. The only difference is the size of the fleet they can deploy."

The higher the level, the more the cost of construction will increase exponentially.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, we use small-scale equipment, occasionally medium-scale, and large-scale equipment is a strategic priority, only usable with the permission of the High Council.

It seems that the Holy Elf Empire is quite advanced in terms of technological reserves.

In any technology, research will be conducted in various aspects according to the needs.

This is also the normal development sequence of science and technology.

On Zhao Chen's side, they often use brand-new technologies to replace traditional ones.

That was all with the help of the system.

Otherwise, Zhao Chen would not have been able to upgrade the technology in such a short period of time.

"Your Excellency Gladys, the interplanetary travel technology that we agreed upon before, which we were to learn, is only one of them," Zhao Chen said with a smile to Gladys.

Gladys immediately waved her hands and explained, "Your Majesty, I didn't mean to hold back."

First of all, the only authority I currently have is to access this model of 'Water Dragon Gate', and giving it to you will put me under a lot of pressure.

As for the latter two, which you want to know more about.

First of all, I don't have it, and even if you wanted to learn it, you would probably need to go to the Holy Elf Empire to have such an opportunity.

Especially the Stargate type, I... I can't make it for you either."

"Haha, I was just kidding," Zhao Chen said with a smile.

Gladys was speechless, never expecting that His Majesty the Emperor was so down-to-earth.

This is completely different from the atmosphere of their elven race.

"What's the itinerary like after that?" Zhao Chen asked.

"His Majesty.

This is my planned itinerary.

You've seen it all.

"If there are no problems, we'll proceed with this." Gladys handed a travel itinerary to His Majesty the Emperor, as it concerned the Emperor of the Dragon Empire.

She dared not be negligent in the slightest and quickly compiled the itinerary.

As Zhao Chen watched, Gladys explained from the side.

"If you agree, we can set off in as little as one day."

This day was the time I spent dispatching a fleet to make a round trip to retrieve the required 'Water Dragon Gate' device.

Afterwards, in the Holy Elf Empire, various cooperative matters were discussed.

I have arranged for ten days.

At the latest, it will take ten days to ensure His Majesty's safe return.

"Of course, if Your Majesty is willing to stay in the Holy Elf Empire for a longer period of time, I have no problem with that."
