Traveling to the future, the story with the orc king

Outside the Orcish Imperial City, a magnificent carriage pulled by nine dragon horses slowly approached. This carriage was not only exquisitely designed but also lavishly decorated. Its body was crafted from precious materials and inlaid with a variety of gemstones, gleaming with a dazzling light. The interior was covered in soft velvet carpets, creating an incomparable sense of comfort. The carriage was filled with exquisitely carved furniture and ornate ornaments, each detail highlighting the owner's noble status.

At this time, a soldier came running over and shouted excitedly: "Report... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's carriage is about to arrive." Upon hearing the news, the ministers who had been waiting quietly immediately became nervous. They straightened their manners and prepared to welcome their His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with the most solemn attitude.

As the carriage got closer, the ministers became more and more excited.

Inside the spacious carriage, Long Yan sat quietly on the soft seat, his eyes fixed on the passing scenery outside the window. The scenery outside the carriage constantly changed, but Long Yan's gaze remained firm and profound. He knew that returning to the imperial city would mean facing more challenges and difficulties, but as the crown prince of the Orc Empire, he must face them all bravely.

Suddenly, Long Yan's mouth curled up slightly, and he thought of a special person - Lin Ziyu. In his eyes, Lin Ziyu was a little naughty, simple, and kind. At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder what Lin Ziyu was doing. Why did he leave so suddenly? Was he still angry with him?

Just as Long Yan was immersed in his memories, Long Si's voice broke the silence in the car: "Your Highness, we have arrived at the imperial city. Prime Minister Bai, Minister Feng, and Chief Steward Long are all outside." Long Si stood at the door of the car and respectfully reported to Long Yan.

Hearing this news, Long Yan nodded gently, with a faint smile on his face. He took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and prepared to face everything that was about to happen.

Long Yan stood up, stepped out of the carriage, and came to the front. He stood tall and straight, his steps steady, and he exuded an air of authority. Seeing this, Prime Minister Bai, Minister Feng, and Chief Steward Long hurried forward to greet him.

"Welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to the city!"

Long Yan smiled and nodded, "No need to be so polite." His voice was low and magnetic, making people feel inexplicably at ease.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has summoned you back to discuss important matters," said Prime Minister Bai.

"Yes, I already know." Long Yan answered calmly, then turned around and went back into the carriage.

Long Si said, "Return to the palace..." Then she said, "My lords, please come in."

The carriage slowly entered the Imperial City, and the people lining the streets cast curious and awed glances. Long Yan sat upright in the carriage, his posture erect and majestic. He raised his head slightly and surveyed his surroundings, taking in the familiar yet unfamiliar atmosphere of the Imperial City. As the carriage slowly passed, the people lining the streets looked at him with respect, whispering about the young Crown Prince.

The magnificent carriage slowly arrived at the gates of the Dragon Emperor's Palace and finally stopped. The doors opened, and a tall, dignified man emerged. He wore a golden robe, intricately embroidered with patterns, highlighting his noble status. He was Long Yan, the Dragon Emperor's son.

After disembarking from the carriage, Long Yan stood quietly, gazing at the magnificent palace before him. This palace had been where he had lived since childhood, but it had been several months since he left. During these months, he had experienced much and grown considerably. Returning here again, he couldn't help but feel a faint surge of nostalgia.

As the heart of the dragon clan, the Dragon King Palace boasts a unique and magnificent architectural style. Its walls, constructed of precious stone, shimmer with gold and purple light, while its roof, covered in glazed tiles, reflects a dazzling array of colors in the sunlight. The entire palace resembles a vast work of art, a breathtaking spectacle.

Long Yan took a deep breath, feeling the familiar atmosphere, his heart filled with emotion. He recalled his childhood here, a carefree time, enjoying the glory and favor of the dragon clan. Now, he had grown up, shouldering more responsibilities and missions. He knew the road ahead was long, and he needed continuous effort to achieve his goals.

At this moment, Prime Minister Bai and his companions also arrived, and together they entered the magnificent palace. A solemn and awe-inspiring atmosphere permeated the palace, as if every stone slab exuded the majesty of imperial authority. Long Yan held his head high, his steps steady and confident, his eyes firm and bright, revealing an indescribable majesty and aura.

After entering the hall, everyone saw His Majesty the Dragon Emperor sitting solemnly upon the throne. His gaze was deep and dignified, seemingly imbued with boundless wisdom and power. Long Yan and the others saluted respectfully, shouting in unison, "Greetings, Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor!" The sound resounded throughout the palace, echoing in every corner.

After the ceremony, Long Yan and the others stood quietly, awaiting the Emperor's instructions. The Emperor looked at Long Yan calmly, his eyes gleaming with anticipation and trust. He slowly spoke, "My son, I've called you back because both the Alchemist Competition and the Three-Clan Youth Academy Competition will be held in the Imperial City. This is the result of a vote by the Sea Clan, the Human Clan, and us. I hope you will oversee this matter."

Long Yan answered without hesitation: "I am willing to obey your command! I will not let my father down!" His tone was firm and powerful, full of determination and confidence.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay." Then he turned to look at the ministers below and said, "Prime Minister Bai and others, assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in completing this task." His voice was steady and powerful, with a tone of command that could not be disobeyed.

Prime Minister Bai and others bowed and responded, "Yes, sir!" Their faces were filled with loyalty and determination.

The Dragon Emperor nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "My son, you must have worked hard all the way back. Go and rest."

"Yes, Father." Long Yan thanked him and left the hall. He walked out of the palace while thinking about the relevant matters of the competition.

Long Yan walked out of the hall and approached Long Si and the others who were waiting outside. He said, "Your Highness, what is the matter with His Majesty the Dragon Emperor summoning you back?"

"It's about the Alchemist Competition and the Three Clans Academy Competition. These two competitions are of great significance and are related to the honor of our clan. We must not slack off." Long Yan warned with a serious expression.

"Yes, I understand!" Long Si and the others responded in unison. Long Si and Long Yi exchanged a glance. They wondered if Young Master Lin would come to participate in the competition. His Highness also missed him, and they had seen it all along the way.

Lin Ziyu, whom they were thinking about, had also received news that this year's Alchemist Competition would be held in the Orc Imperial City. This news filled him with anticipation, and his longing for Long Yan deepened unconsciously.
