Volume 3: Artifacts Chapter 9: The Dragon Tribe's Attitude
Qingkong and Theresa were fighting fiercely in the Silver Manor, and Luke and the Golden Dragon King Tyran were also discussing the most critical topic in the steel plant.
In order to keep it secret, the dragon used magic to create an independent space for the meeting. In the space, colorful magic streams flowed freely. Luke sat in a crystal chair, and the golden dragon King Tyran lay opposite him. There was a circular pool between the man and the dragon, and the map of the Dragon Kingdom was reflected in the pool.
Dragon Country is a large island in the deep sea, surrounded by thousands of small islands and countless reefs. The island belt is surrounded by thick fog all year round, isolating most outsiders from the outside.
Before the ancient war, giant dragons were active in every corner of the world, and most of the legends about giant dragons came from that period. After the ancient war, all the surviving giant dragons returned to the Dragon Kingdom, and after thousands of years of reproduction, the number of giant dragons finally reached a certain scale.
But it is still far from its strongest point.
The trauma of war has made even the most hot-tempered dragons become docile. Over the past thousand years, there have been very few incidents of dragons injuring people. Even if someone lands in the Dragon Kingdom, as long as they listen to the advice and leave quickly, they will not be eaten by the dragon.
King Tyron did not want to cause a conflict with other ancient civilizations. This time when he came to Saint Lun City, he only brought sixteen dragons, less than half of the angels, because he did not want to over-stimulate the angels without knowing the situation, thus causing an arms race where you add troops and I follow suit.
Therefore, when Luke proposed to form a strategic alliance in the fire crystal trade to replace the position of the World Bank, the Golden Dragon King Tyran did not behave as positively as expected.
“If I were a thousand years younger, I would definitely agree with your suggestion and actively lobby other ancient dragons to establish a Fire Crystal Trade Alliance with the Golden Shield Empire.
But that war is still fresh in my mind, and the more I recall it, the harder it is to muster the ambition to fight it again. You only know about ancient wars from texts and antiquities, and you cannot appreciate the cruelty without personal experience.
In the later stages of the war, even the demons were afraid. They were not afraid of death, but afraid that the entire civilization would perish together. "
Luke said, "But a new civilization war is quietly brewing. The dragons came across the ocean from the Dragon Kingdom and should have seen the civilization that the human race was creating along the way.
It is more prosperous and more explosive than ancient civilizations. The foundation of this civilization is not ancient language or racial identity, but wealth. The pursuit of wealth by countless ordinary people makes them spend the best part of their lives making money like worker ants.
So we conquered the sea with ships, connected the land with railways, and made wealth circulate and accumulate. In order to get more wealth, we developed magic, alchemy, steam, machinery...all the academic disciplines that can create wealth.
The further this civilization develops, the more it relies on wealth. It can be said that whoever controls wealth can control this civilization. "
When Luke was speaking, the Golden Dragon King Tyron listened very carefully. The civilization created by humans now is a brand new civilization that the world has never had. Unlike the ancient civilizations, the five civilizations have their own small circles, and no one can integrate anyone else.
But human civilization is different. It does not distinguish between regions or races. Elves, goblins, barbarians, and dwarves can all be well integrated into this civilization; as long as there are ships and roads, this civilization can be transported and accepted even in the most remote places.
It took it only a thousand years to successfully occupy the entire secular world, which was unimaginable in the eyes of the long-lived dragons.
After listening to what Luke said, King Tyron finally understood why human civilization developed so fast and was so tolerant.
It's all about the pursuit of wealth.
After Luke finished speaking, the Golden Dragon King Tyran said, "You mean... the Shining Gold will control the entire secular world through the World Bank, and then continue their ambitions that were not achieved in the ancient war."
Luke replied: "The current Shining Gold people probably haven't realized how much control the World Bank will have over future human civilization. After all, our civilization has not yet developed a complete financial system.
If the Shining Gold people realize what they have, the entire human civilization will be their breeding ground. This is an inexhaustible source of nutrition, and the Shining Gold people civilization will become more powerful than the ancient civilization in a short period of time. "
"This is impossible. The Shining Gold Man has lost his divine weapon. No matter how powerful he is, he will never surpass the ancient Shining Gold civilization."
"Is the only way to gain power a divine weapon?"
Luke smiled, causing the Golden Dragon King Tyran to not only raise his head but also stare at him.
"You mean that your human civilization can create a power that surpasses the divine weapon."
"Why not? I am an example, and Miss Qingkong is also an example. As long as human civilization continues to develop in this way, we should be able to achieve power close to that of a divine weapon, not to mention surpassing it."
King Tyron was silent.
He didn't know if what Luke said was true, but the human in front of him did possess the power of a pure dragon, and Qingkong even defeated the First Holy Scripture.
"Maybe it's what we should do if five ancient civilizations unite to destroy human civilization."
Luke said in agreement, "Yes, destroying this civilization before it threatens you will ensure that you will not be surpassed or replaced. It's just that the five ancient civilizations cannot unite, and the Dragon Nation cannot even unite your two allies during the ancient war.
Since we can’t eliminate it, we might as well blend into it.”
Luke gave the golden dragon King Tyranid another choice. He wondered if the dragons could put aside their pride and deal with the inferior creatures they looked down upon.
King Tyron thought for a while and replied, "This is not something I can decide. You know the current situation of Dragon Country. Since the last king was ambushed by the Golden Man, there has been no new king in Dragon Country. None of us ancient dragons are interested in becoming kings, and Dragon Country has not needed a king for thousands of years.
I need to talk it over with some of the old guys.
If you and Taogui have time to visit Dragon Country, I think it will be of great help to your idea."
King Tyran looked at Luke with a smile on his face.
Luke was shocked. This simply pointed out the identity of Dragon Soul Banat. He was the king of Dragon Country. Now that Dragon Country had not elected a new king, it meant that they believed Banat was still the king of Dragon Country.
Taotie is the inheritance of Banat.
Don’t think too much, don’t think too much.
According to King Tairen, there are very few ancient dragons left in Dragon Country, and all of them are kings. The so-called king of Dragon Country is just a leader chosen by everyone. Even though Taotie is the descendant of King Banat of Dragon Country, he is still a young dragon after all, and should not be welcomed back as the new king by the ancient dragons.
However, the identity of the inheritance is here, and the family background is good. Seeing that the Golden Dragon King Tairen is so easy to talk to, it means that Banat is still very prestigious.
Maybe when Taotie completes his inheritance, he will really become the king of Dragon Kingdom.
I can’t think about it anymore, I can’t think about it anymore!
Luke stood up and saluted King Tyron: "Thank you for your help! When I have time, I will definitely take Taotie to Dragon Kingdom."
King Tyron nodded in return to Luke, “The dragons await your and Taotie’s arrival.
Regarding the fire crystals... You can dig up the fire crystals in my territory at will. As for what you dig up the fire crystals for, it has nothing to do with me.
I guarantee that no one else in Dragon Country can freely obtain Fire Crystals."
The cautious King Terran chose to continue to wait and see.
Even if there is a conflict between the Golden Shield Empire and the Shining Gold People, the Dragon Kingdom can say that the king's inheritance is digging fire crystals on its own land. Why should we, the dragon clan, stop it?
Luke said, "I understand. No matter what happens between us and the Shining Gold People in the future, as long as the Dragon Clan does not intervene, we will never involve the Dragon Nation."
"The Golden Man... the Golden Man who participated in the ancient war is no longer with us. The Golden Man of today should be on guard." King Tyron asked Luke, "After the ancient war, we asked the Golden Man for the King's inherited dragon soul, but the Golden Man said they didn't take it at all. The King's inherited dragon soul must have been lost somewhere.
Although we had our doubts, the Shining Gold Man had even returned the Sky City to the angels, so we did not ask any further questions in order to avoid any further disputes.
Where did you get your Taotie inheritance from?"
Luke replied: "The inherited dragon soul of Taotie was obtained by accident. Although I did not get it directly from the Sparkling Gold Civilization, there is an ancient Sparkling Gold seal on the dragon soul. The Sparkling Gold people also sent an elder candidate to search for this dragon soul."
Although it was expected, King Terran still felt extremely angry.
"I understand! Although the Dragon Nation has no intention of provoking new disputes, it must guard against other civilizations persecuting the Dragon Nation.
One last question…
Do you know why the angel suddenly descended on Saint Lun City?
The status of Saint Theresa in the Sky City Inquisition is second only to the Sword of Oath. She personally led the team here, so something important must have happened. "
Luke concealed the matter of the artifact from King Tyran. He said, "We don't know. The coming of the angels has caused great trouble to the empire. We also want to know why they came."
King Tyron did not doubt Luke. When talking about the angels coming to Saint Lun City, he was also very troubled: “So many angels who participated in the ancient wars came to the secular world, breaking the tacit understanding of five ancient civilizations for thousands of years. This is not a good phenomenon.
Now that we are here, the demons and shadow tribe will also come, and they will not do things with principles like the dragon tribe."
Luke said: “Thank you for your reminder, we will entertain every guest who comes to Saint Lun City.
Finally, I have a small request, and I hope King Tyrone can satisfy it."
"Go ahead."
"Please lead your dragons to fly twice over the Angel's Cathedral."
…
In the underground space of the Silver Manor, the battle between Qingkong and Theresa reached a fever pitch. It was literally white-hot, the white holy flame filled the entire space, and the holy flame could not be seen in the state of fireworks, as if it was filled with milk.
Flocks of flying swords and feather arrows appeared and disappeared inside, and the sound of each collision was like the sound of thousands of birds singing together.
Qingkong and Theresa each used their skills to resist the burning of the holy flame while fighting with all their might.
In terms of energy reserves, Qingkong, who has an elemental activation reactor as his heart, is superior to Theresa. But the cruel war in ancient times gave Theresa extremely rich practical experience. Therefore, even if Qingkong's absolute strength is higher than Theresa, Theresa can always use impeccable defense to resolve the attack and then look for opportunities to launch a counterattack.
Qingkong was completely excited. To her, Theresa was a rare sparring partner. She could use all the spells and fighting skills she knew without holding back or worrying about hurting her.
Gold Magic, Ice Affinity, Angel Incarnation, Space-Time Skills... Qingkong used them in turn. The various systems were integrated in actual combat, allowing Qingkong to more easily control these unique powers.
Theresa was in a passive position from the beginning of the fight. She tried to take back the initiative several times, but was always in danger. She was shocked by Qingkong's fighting talent, as if he was an elf born specifically for fighting.
"What are you?"
Theresa didn't believe that Qingkong was a creature that should exist in this world. From the beginning of the battle to now, she has been getting stronger all the time. She is learning from herself, taking her own combat experience and then applying it to herself.
This kind of strength is not simply strength in physical strength, but a strength that makes people lose confidence in victory.
That’s why Theresa questioned Qingzora.
Qingkong pressed Theresa with the sword and said, "If you want to know the answer, you have to defeat me first. Theresa, your power has weakened a lot, this is not good."
Theresa dodged Qingkong's attack range: "Who created you!"
The clear sky moved in the opposite direction, and the group of flying swords returned behind her and transformed into golden wings of light.
The external holy flame was also retracted.
Seeing that Qingkong was making a gesture of truce, Theresa stopped shooting the arrows at Qingkong and retracted them to become her own wings.
Then he asked Qingkong: "Why don't you fight?"
Qingkong gradually removed the golden armor on his body and said lazily: "It's boring. Your heart is so confused and your mood is so bad. I'm afraid I won't be able to stop myself and kill you... It's a pity for such a beautiful angel to die."
Theresa pointed her sword at the clear sky and said, "If you don't tell me what happened that night, don't even think about leaving here."
Qingkong put all his weapons into his space backpack and said, "How can you ask others questions in this way? I advise you to learn more from the dragons. Being gentle and modest will make people like you .
Why don't you come to my museum more often to drink tea and chat? If you want to know something, I'll tell you while we're chatting, right? "
“You…” Theresa looked at the clear sky, and finally put down her weapon and attitude. “Can you tell me how you got your power? You can speak the ancient golden language and the ancient angel language. Are you…”
Seeing Theresa stopped here, Qingkong asked, "Is it something?"
Theresa was not sure whether Qingkong knew about the artifact, and she did not dare to reveal information that should not be disclosed.
She said to Qingkong: "If you want tea, I have some here. Can we chat here?"
"I've already said that my time is really tight. If you want to chat, let's go to my museum. We can study and talk about academics at the same time.
Listen...what's that calling?"
Theresa listened carefully and found that this was a closed space and there was no sound at all.
At this time, an angel appeared: "First, spread the holy scriptures. The golden dragon King Tyron led a group of dragons to fly over the temple and has been circling..."
Qingkong said, "Since you have guests, I won't delay you from meeting your old friends."
Clear Sky chanted a spell and a portal opened in front of her.
