Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire

"Your Highness Noah, based on the description of the glorious believers and the communication and supplementation with other chambers of commerce, we have initially drawn up a navigation route map.

However, it needs to be verified, but there are already chambers of commerce that have established shipyards and manufactured ocean-going ships. Do we need to intervene?"

The information summary from the Eastern Coast is what Noah must listen to every once in a while. Although he knows the situation there very well, he can also learn about their work content and status through the reports of his dependents.

"Of course, I not only want a wholly-owned shipyard, but you also have to build a fleet for me within a hundred years that is enough to control the entire Eastern coast!"

Noah made a request.

Although he has only established a seaport base on the Eastern Coast and has not even deployed a decent armed force, he has already regarded the Eastern Coast as his own possession, and the sea power it extends to, the Golden Dragon will not let go.

The merchants have begun to reverse the sea chart along the direction of the refugees from the Alvis continent.

Although no member of the refugee ship could explain how they arrived at the harbor, even if it was the revelation of the Lord of Light, they still had some impression.

However, through the descriptions of these eyewitnesses, the sea charts drawn had less than 10% overlap in routes. The risks contained in such a sea chart can be imagined, but even so, there are still people willing to invest in it.

The profits from ocean trade are enough to make people ignore the risks, and the huge profits from cross-continental ocean trade are enough to drive these profit-seeking men crazy.

Noah was not in a hurry to join this great seafaring adventure. It would not be too late to leave after the merchants found a safe sea route.

Anyway, all he needed to do was to hold the sea power firmly in his hands. Regardless of whether this group of merchants could find a stable route to and from the Alvis continent, he would only make money and not lose money. As long as he controlled all the ports along the coast and collected taxes through legislation, he could draw blood from the merchants.

"Respect your will!"

Noah's request to build a fleet is not harsh, even if there is nothing now, but the deadline is extended to a hundred years. With the resources and manpower that the Holy Dragon Territory now has, Noah's requirements are quite loose.

Under the intervention of the gods, the Holy Dragon Territory began to enter the Age of Navigation, especially after Noah issued an administrative order to establish the Voyager Port as a special economic zone, merchants began to gather in this port city with a large number of resources, which could not even supply food by itself.

Even if they do not operate new businesses, but just build factories like the Holy Dragon Territory in the special economic zone, it is profitable for merchants because of the significant reduction in labor costs.

Of course, the supply of raw materials is still a huge problem, but these problems will be gradually solved with the development of the special zone. All merchants who come to the Harbor City believe this and are very optimistic about the future of the special zone.

The growing prosperity of the special economic zone has not affected the prosperity of the Holy Dragon Land, especially Elishim, known as the first city in the East, which greatly shocked the glorious believers who immigrated from the port.

Most of them could not imagine that there was such a vast city in the world that could accommodate nearly ten million people.

Doesn't this mean that people from several countries live together? It's incredible, like some kind of miracle, unimaginable.

But the most incredible thing is that this city takes care of the lower-class civilians. There are a series of mandatory requirements such as the minimum wage. These regulations are recorded in the code and strictly enforced.

Therefore, even if these immigrants are unfamiliar with the place and don't know anyone, they can find jobs here that can easily support themselves. The work content is not easy, and the remuneration is enough to make one person work and the whole family have no worries about food and accommodation.

Of course, living does not mean buying a house in Alishim, but just renting it, and the location of the rental is a bit far from the city. According to the classification of locals, the location where they live belongs to the suburbs outside the tenth ring.

Therefore, in terms of commuting, the glorious immigrants from the ocean port are a little uncomfortable, but the leap-forward improvement in food, clothing, housing, transportation and income is enough for them to ignore these small flaws and shortcomings.

Because the Customs Department of Harbor City strictly controls the qualifications and quotas of immigrants, every Glorious believer who can immigrate to the Holy Dragon Territory is a good worker who is selected from a hundred.

Therefore, the number of immigrants from the other side of the continent is not large. Although a huge wave of immigrants can be seen in Harbor City, and people are stuck in the mansion of the Customs Department every day to submit applications, the number of people who can really go to the Holy Dragon Land is only more than 2,000, less than 3,000.

This population is like a drop of ink falling into the ocean for the Holy Dragon Land, which is as vast as a country. It is easily dissolved, not to mention that some people deliberately divide these Glorious believers.

There are less than a hundred Glorious believers who can work in the city of Elishim, which has no impact on the local Glorious Church. Of course, it is also a great supplement.

Therefore, there are not many believers in this city. Even if all the believers of the Gods Church are added together, they are not as many as the number of people who worship the Holy Dragon, the last little fraction.

Even the most generous gods only bless devout believers occasionally, and only eliminate their minor illnesses and pains, and will not make any qualitative leap or improvement in their life essence or quality of life.

In contrast, Noah, as an ancestral dragon, assimilates the life breath exuded by him. As long as the creatures living within a certain range can feel the changes in their bodies.

This is much faster and more direct than believing in God. Once the dragonization appears, it is the beginning of the transformation of the life essence. For many mortals who have no hope of embarking on the extraordinary path in their lifetime, this is no less than the legendary grace of God.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why the permanent residents of Elishim City worship the holy dragon. Not only do they truly feel the grace, but also under the influence of the dragonization, they have an instinctive urge to attach themselves to and follow the lord at the end of the blood source.

"What a holy dragon!"

The dim figure with dim golden light stood in the suburbs of Elishim City, and on both sides were houses prepared for laborers who came to the city to work.

Although this residential area is the worst in the city, and no one would choose it except for workers who just want to make money, its living environment is not bad. It is fully equipped with greening, sewage treatment, and public recreational facilities for children.

This residential area exclusively for workers would inevitably become a dirty and messy slum if it were a city in other regions, but under the rule of the Holy Dragon, it is so livable that it can be regarded as a high-end residence in some remote and backward small cities, or even better.

However, this dim golden figure moving in the workers' residential area was not sighing for the living environment here. What was imprinted in his eyes was the city of Elishim in the distance, crawling on the ground like an ancient beast that had never been seen before.

However, he was not sighing because of this super city with a population of nearly 10 million, because he saw a scene that ordinary people could not see.

It was a force of faith that crisscrossed the sky above the city, and then gathered into a torrent and fell into the mountains behind the city.

Such a magnificent and relatively pure power of faith is what makes him sigh.

This is the foundation of deification.

No matter who sees this scene, they will not believe that the ruler who led and built all this would not have the intention of deification.

Especially on this land, his name is being praised everywhere, and sculptures and statues of him can be seen everywhere.

"It's a pity that it's a dragon!"

The golden figure sighed, revealing great regret in his tone,

"It would be great if it was a human."

What's amazing is that this figure who moves casually in the labor residential area seems to be non-existent. Even in this densely populated residential area, people pass by every moment, but no one notices his existence.

"Hmm!"

The power cast was limited. Although some things had been confirmed, the golden figure looked into the distance, which reflected infinite brilliance and a prosperous city everywhere. After a moment of hesitation, he still took a step and chose to enter the city.

"Wherever you go is where you go."

The city and the outside of the city are like two completely different worlds. The biggest difference is that the buildings in Elishim pursue height, or in other words, on the same area, as many high buildings as possible are built to accommodate more residents.

This is indeed a profit-seeking move by merchants, but it is also to allow more people to be assimilated by the breath of life from the Holy Dragon Noah.

"It's stupid to degenerate into a hybrid dragonborn!"

After stepping into the city, the golden figure was not impressed by the towering buildings, the fairies flying in the sky, or the crisscrossing urban transportation that provided great travel convenience for residents. He looked at the tiny dragon scales on the faces of most residents in the city, and his tone revealed undisguised disgust.

"Now you can feel the assimilation of the life breath from the dragon. When the bloodline deteriorates and the descendants become ugly lizards and reptiles, there will be no use for regret!"

The golden figure was not surprised at the prosperity of Elishim and the magical transportation equipment that could provide services for mortals. Instead, he criticized the residents in the streets who had more or less dragon characteristics.

The original text is in the six # 9 @book/bar!

Even if some dragonborn were not originally human, but came from the humanoid races of elves, dwarves, halflings or dwarves, he also denounced them.

"We should let those guys come down and see what their mortal race has been tainted into!"

The golden figure walked around the city casually, cursing and attacking others with harsh words.

Fortunately, no one could see him, let alone hear what he said, otherwise every word he said would inevitably cause public outrage as long as it spread within a small range, and it was natural for him to be beaten up, although the result of the beating was not certain.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, the golden light became dimmer, and the figure who seemed to disappear at any time suddenly looked at the end of his street. It was a park that provided an activity area for citizens. He sensed some familiar smells in the park, and there happened to be a will that sensed his existence and cast a look at him.

"Interesting!"

So, the golden figure stepped forward and soon walked into the small park. Similar public areas can be seen everywhere in this city, and there is nothing strange about them. Therefore, there is also a golden dragon statue that can be seen everywhere in this park. It is a giant dragon in a coiled posture.

When the golden figure walked in front of the golden dragon statue, the statue in a coiled posture also came to life, and its eyes burst into brilliant golden light. However, it was so abnormal that no one could see it. This was a private conversation that no one could see except the two parties.

"I really didn't expect that my city could still attract distinguished guests like you to visit!"

Noah's will of descent looked at the dim golden figure in front of him, which seemed to be gone with the wind at any time, and sighed sincerely.

"You, don't have divinity?"

When Noah looked at the golden figure, the golden figure who was about to collapse was also looking at Noah, and the first sentence he said made Noah stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

"Of course I don't have divinity, is this a strange thing?"

"How can you not have divinity?"

The tone of the golden figure revealed an incredible feeling, as if he had seen something beyond understanding and cognition.

"Why should I have divinity?"

Noah also felt very strange.

"Aren't you the Dragon of the Gods?"

"No, I have no interest in becoming a god."

Facing a god who had descended to his incarnation and was still wandering around his territory, Noah seriously stated.

"...I haven't heard such arrogant words for a long time."

The idea of ​​not emphasizing any content also made the golden figure silent for a long time, and then sighed that this sentence was invisibly belittling all the gods.

"I just don't want to be bound, I like the state of being unrestrained."

Hearing the words of His Majesty, Noah had to declare again.

"Then how did you do this?"

The golden figure raised his hand and pointed at Noah, revealing great surprise and strong curiosity in his tone.

"You mean I projected my will onto a statue?"

"And your control and application of the power of faith, how do you perceive and manipulate it without divinity?"

This is the biggest puzzlement of this glorious figure, because the irrationality is like a fish jumping onto the shore, walking on its tail, and building a fire to keep warm.

"You can think of it as a spell that belongs to me."
