Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire
Chapter 170: Enfeoffment of the Dragons, Lord of the Hundred Dragons
The golden dragon is very interested in running his own territory, but not only is he very motivated, most dragons in the metal dragon clan are also very interested in this.
Both silver dragons and bronze dragons are very keen to participate in the construction of the social order of humanoid civilization and the formulation of legal rules.
Brass dragons and copper dragons also like to join in the fun, and they feel that they can also make constructive suggestions.
Even though the Golden Dragon has not yet openly recruited officials, if a lax little goblin accidentally lets out some rumors, some dragons will take the initiative to come to them.
"Your Majesty, do you think I look like a consul?"
The high elf, whose hair shines silvery in the sun, gently spins his body in front of the golden dragon, and his luxurious robes flutter, bringing with them wisps of strange fragrance.
"Yes, quite majestic."
Noah looked at the Silver Moon Elf in front of him and gave a pertinent evaluation.
"Then when will you issue me the appointment letter?"
The silver dragon Annabell's eyes were shining with great expectation.
"What appointment letter?"
"Didn't you say that I look like a consul? Then if you hire me, I will definitely be able to manage the territory for you."
"I don't need a consul. If you want to manage the territory for a great noble, I can write a letter of recommendation for you."
Noah suddenly laughed. Although he arranged for the goblins to spread some of the news, it was too rude to find someone of the same kind.
Although the territory only has a population of a few hundred thousand, and appointing a silver dragon as the consul is a bit unworthy, this is the territory of the ancestral golden dragon.
"Only you are worthy of my following!"
Annabell said immediately.
As a proud silver dragon, if you want her to be inferior to others, it must be someone who is completely above her and makes her look up to her. However, within the scope of Annabell's knowledge, only the golden dragon in front of her can do this. qualifications.
"You want to follow me?"
Noah grasped the key point in an instant. Although he already had three followers of the same race under his command, they were all bronze dragons, and their strength was too weak in the eyes of the golden dragon. The golden dragon didn't even know what to do with them.
Of course, this is not their fault, but Noah's fault. Because the bloodline has evolved many times in succession, the golden dragon has taken the lead and is stronger than its own kind.
"If you appoint me Archon, I will follow in your footsteps."
Annabell said solemnly.
"There are still prerequisites!"
Although Yinlong made a request, Jinlong was still very surprised. It was only normal to ask for conditions. Do you expect a dragon to do things for free?
"Then if I meet your request and then revoke your appointment, will you give up following me and choose to leave?"
"It depends on your arrangements with me."
"Let me think about it."
Jin Long has no time to ask questions and follow him, because Silver Dragon's character is particularly willful. If he is interested, the other party can always serve him.
But if you feel that you are not valued, that your talents cannot be used, and that your desires are not satisfied, you will definitely leave without hesitation. This is the Silver Dragon.
They are carefree and free-spirited, and it is precisely because of this character that some silver dragons have left many imaginative rumors in human-like civilized societies.
"Let me confirm again, as long as you are appointed as my consul, you will become my follower?"
"That's right."
Silver Dragon's eyes are blazing and full of confidence,
"As long as you hand over the people in the territory to me, Hushou, I will definitely lead them to prosperity."
"There are now close to half a million people in my territory. Are you sure you can manage so many?"
"certainly."
"A consul in charge of half a million people? I agree to your conditions, but I have to make some adjustments before I can arrange it."
"You agreed?"
Biting cold air spread in the air, and misty white mist filled the girl's body. The silver dragon was so excited that it vented part of its power.
"That's right, get ready!"
Jin Long's eyes showed a smile.
It is a very cost-effective exchange to exchange a territory with only half a million people for survival and reproduction in exchange for the followers of a silver dragon. Moreover, the most important thing is that he does not necessarily have to come out of the territory and people.
Shortly after the Silver Dragon retreated, Noah wrote a letter directly to Tedder asking for the fiefdom from the new king.
In the envelope, Noah vented his bitterness to him, confiding in the barrenness and desolation of his territory, and then confidently asked the other party for a prosperous city and territory.
A dragon with legendary combat power asked for a fiefdom from the ruler. Any ruler who was not too stupid would satisfy his request, let alone Tedder, who asked for and received from Noah.
With a stroke of his pen, Tedder not only satisfied Noah's needs, but even gave him a land that far exceeded Jin Long's expectations. However, when Noah got the land map, he just looked at it and cursed,
"Old things don't learn well!"
Tedder was indeed generous to Noah, but he did not want to make it too easy for Noah, because among the newly sealed territories for Noah, except for a few small plains and basins bordering the Eldis Mountains, there were also a large number of enclave.
Without exception, these enclaves were highly contested territories and were one of the main reasons why the founding of the New Kingdom was continually delayed.
Now, the new king has chosen to clean up these controversies and leave them to his own dragon to deal with.
"There is a traitor around Tedder!"
Noah sighed, but he accepted them all without any hesitation. As long as Tedder dared to give them, he would accept them. It just so happened that he urgently needed a batch of territory for granting titles.
There has never been a wall that is airtight in this world, not to mention that some walls are not only trying to block the wind, but also leaking. For example, a certain silver dragon that was promised a reward from Noah passed through the market with swagger, making her about to become Everyone knows about the governor's affairs.
Not bad, the Gemological Society suddenly exploded.
"Your Excellency, Chairman, this is unfair!"
"I have made great contributions to the society, I have shed blood for the dragon clan, and I also want to be a consul!"
"I followed you, defeated the demon army, and resisted the demons for you. I also have merit, so you can't forget me!"
"Why can a silver dragon be a consul, but not a copper dragon?"
"A mere silver dragon, will she be a consul? Does she understand? I should be allowed to take the position!"
One after another, the metal dragons stimulated by the silver dragon Annabell found Noah. Even the golden dragon who owed a huge debt, Agnes also came to find him.
It is the nature of living beings to worry not about scarcity but about inequality. Dragons belong to an intelligent race, so they are naturally unavoidable.
The pursuit of power is widespread among dragons. Although most dragons will not deliberately pursue power because it requires bowing to short-lived races, when the opportunity to control power is placed in front of them, they will not. If you miss it, you won't give up.
"Your contribution is not inferior to that of Silver Dragon. Of course I will remember your contribution!"
"I will not overlook any dragon's contribution!"
Faced with many metal dragons who came to his door, Noah showed the demeanor that a leader should have, and swore that he would keep a bowl of water equal, and would never treat any dragon badly, let alone let any one suffer. Dragons who have made great contributions to the society will not be wronged.
So, after Tedder sent over the map of the enfeoffed territory, Noah summoned all the dragons in the Gemological Society and started the first round of large-scale enfeoffment.
"The new king is about to take over. He has given me thirty-nine rich and fertile territories. I don't have much energy to manage these lands. Therefore, I need a dragon worth entrusting to manage them for me."
Noah's eyes scanned the group of dragons that were gradually becoming restless. Under the oppression of the Yanling Tyrant, the group of dragons quickly returned to silence.
"The fact that you can stand here means that you are all dragons that I trust, so you have two choices now.
First, become my consul and rule over one of my territories for me.
Second, pledge your allegiance to me and become my lord! "
When Jin Long's words fell on the ears of all the dragons, they were simply deafening, making the dragons dizzy and in disbelief.
"Your Majesty, what is the difference between the rights of a consul and a lord?"
Under Noah's slightly relaxed words, a dragon soon asked a question.
“The consul will obtain the highest governing power of a territory, will have judicial power, be responsible for the daily operation of the territory and the implementation of policies, and can mobilize the army, but will not participate in the construction and management of the army.
As for the lord, except for paying a certain amount of tax to me every year as a witness of loyalty to me, all the powers in the territory belong to the lord. "
Noah was succinct and to the point. To him, a consul was just the manager of a territory, but a lord was under his command. He had the power to dominate one territory.
It seems obvious how to choose such an option. For dragons, there seems to be no second option.
"Sir Noah, can we choose freely?"
"You are free to choose the position of consul and the identity of lord, but the power to assign you to which territory belongs to me!"
Noah reiterated.
"I choose to be a lord!"
"I want to be a lord too!"
As soon as Jin Long finished speaking, another dragon responded immediately. Even though he didn't know what kind of territory he would be assigned, that was Jin Long. With the relationship between the other party and the new king, how bad could the territory be?
"I hope you can make a choice after careful consideration, rather than treating it as a game, this is not fun.
After you make a choice, you need to be responsible for your choice to the end and cannot go back on it at will. "
There is still something unfinished in Noah's words, but which metal dragon present can't hear it?
Whether serving as a consul or becoming a lord, this can be regarded as a contract and a promise. Even the smallest dragon present knows what will happen to the metal dragon that breaks it.
"I have already considered it. As long as I am given an earldom, I am willing to be a lord for the rest of my life."
A bronze dragon stood up, with great longing and yearning in its eyes.
Although any dragon present can obtain a reward and become a noble in any country, bowing his head and surrendering to a short-lived monarch is completely different from being loyal to a noble ancestral golden dragon. The former is humiliation, but the latter is glory.
"Answer me in three days."
Although Youlong responded on the spot, Noah ignored it. All the young dragons present were very impulsive and impulsive. Noah could understand it, but he couldn't tolerate it.
Because every decision he makes now, every reward, is no longer just about the dragons themselves, but will also affect hundreds of thousands of intelligent creatures.
However, even if Noah dragged it out for three days, two-thirds of the dragons still chose to become Noah's lords. The temptation of powerful nobles is indeed too great for a group of young dragons.
The most important reason is that the young dragons who have just left their parents' protection are very poor. After becoming nobles, isn't it easy to get rid of poverty?
This is a huge fortune, which young dragon can refuse it?
"Is this the governor you promised me?"
The silver dragon Annabelle, who has been arrogant for more than half a month, is like a frosted eggplant at this moment, with a shriveled head, but fiercely came to question the golden dragon.
"Yes, don't you want to become a city governor with a population of 500,000? This is a marquisate. Just a rough count shows that the total population exceeds 500,000. It not only meets your needs, but also far exceeds them."
"But..."
Silver Dragon was angry. She was eyeing the Eldis Mountains, the place where the golden dragon in front of her started and the base. As long as she could become the housekeeper mother dragon there, it would be a natural thing to go further.
"If you are not satisfied, you can change your status. I will appoint you as the lord here. What do you think?"
"I need to think about it!"
It was Silver Dragon's turn to hesitate.
Although serving as a governor is also considered to follow the golden dragon and serve the golden dragon, it is just an official position and is an employment relationship with the golden dragon.
If you do a good job, you can work for a longer period of time. If you are unhappy, you can resign and leave. It's free and easy. But if you become a lord, you can't just leave, and you have a clear superior-subordinate relationship with the golden dragon.
"Noah, I've thought about it. I'm willing to be your lord and your arm!"
At this time, a slender blonde woman broke into the golden dragon's palace and expressed her determination directly.
"Okay, you will get the richest marquisate among the territories I control!"
Noah was overjoyed and made a promise on the spot.
"Agnes, are you willing to be the lord?"
Annabelle stared at the woman in front of her, somewhat unable to understand.
"I need money!"
Agnes was concise and to the point. If other young dragons were just poor, then she, as a golden dragon, was a negative asset. It was so sad that anyone who heard it would cry. If it continued like this, she would not dare to enter the dormant period.
"Then I will do the same!"
