Under the Red Dragon

“The Ministry of Finance proposes that, after the establishment of a formal kingdom, we need to mint and issue our own currency. To ensure smooth circulation with the currency systems of other continental countries, the currency value should be aligned with the common continental currency,”

Servant Leader Charlize said, taking out several mock gold coins from a nearby document bag and spreading them out on her long, voluptuous thighs.

“These are the currency samples designed by the Ministry of Finance. They have provided a total of six different sample gold coin mock-ups.”

Karon tilted his head slightly, looking at the gold coins engraved with different patterns, without giving his choice, and said, “There’s no need to rush this for now. We’ll decide after the name of the kingdom is determined.”

The well-behaved Servant Leader quickly collected the gold coin mock-ups, resealed them, and added a label. She then found the proposals for the kingdom's name from a thick stack of documents and softly read out the suggestions from the many ministers.

“After the initial screening, only a few options remain: the Dragon Empire, the Dragon Kingdom, the Golden Realm, and the Golden People's Republic…”

“The former options specifically highlight the dragon's ruling position and identity in the kingdom, while the latter are mostly named after the region. However, the proposer of the Golden People's Republic specifically stated that with a wise ruler like the master, there is no need to narrowly indicate the dragon's ruling position as a national characteristic.”

“His proposed name for the kingdom also has an explanation, inspired by your beautiful wish, master, ‘May this world shine like gold, may civilization be passed on like a flame.’”

“To forge a civilization that shines like gold, to unite all the ruled people as golden people, a civilization of multi-ethnic republic and coexistence, with the dragon as king!”

Charlize paused here, pursing her cherry-red lips, and secretly looked up to observe the Red Dragon Monarch's reaction, feeling that this proposal might be more in line with her master's thoughts.

But the Red Dragon did not give his definite answer, but instead instructed his Servant Leader: “Make several copies of these proposals and send them to each Dragon Lord for their decision!”

Servant Leader Charlize quickly instructed an elf maid to take the document for copying.

The fair-skinned and beautiful, green-haired elf maid took the document and, with light steps, headed to the area where the maids lived, next to the main castle on the first floor, near the back garden. There was an entire complex of buildings there, including the maids' study.

As the elf maid passed the small path in the back garden, she saw a tall figure standing with great focus in front of the World Tree, which had grown to over six meters tall.

That person had a pair of dragon horns pointing towards the sky, and his entire body was covered in scarlet scales, as if dyed with clear blood. It was her master, the monarch of the royal castle.

The elf maid quietly slowed her pace, took off her shoes, held them in her hand, and tiptoed stealthily into the study with her bare feet.

The lush branches of the World Tree Owo were now full of greenery. Even though it was on the mountain peak, where strong winds often blew, the branches and leaves did not waver in the wind.

Two chubby Titan Pythons quietly hid in the dense green leaves of the World Tree, their two pairs of round, dark, and bright eyes watching Karon, who was quietly communicating with the consciousness of the World Tree Owo. Even these two pythons secretly slowed their breathing.

Although each avatar shared the same main consciousness as Karon himself, Karon was now very accustomed to multi-threaded operations.

Moreover, this also tempered his already powerful spirit, making him more resilient, more responsive, and slightly increasing the strength and total amount of his mental power.

“Dad, I’m full,” the World Tree Owo relayed a message to Karon at this time, and the wind-resistant branches began to sway gently, like the happy dance of a child.

“Very good, then it’s study time next,” Karon grinned, retracted his dragon claws from the vibrant tree trunk, and smiled slightly.

The swaying branches of the World Tree Owo instantly wilted and returned to their wind-resistant state.

“Dad, what’s the use of learning this knowledge? I can already vaguely sense that big guy. It’s very, very far away from me, so far away that, anyway, it’s very far.”

The World Tree Owo’s consciousness couldn’t find a suitable adjective, so it could only express it with its simple vocabulary, “But that big guy is too easy for me to find. I can always easily sense it, Dad. Am I useful? Much more useful than Hani Neek and Grey Neek!”

“Yes, you’re not like those two, who only eat and sleep all day long,” Karon patted the thick trunk of the World Tree gently, decisively giving the World Tree baby timely praise.

The two timid Titan Pythons looked disgruntled, but they didn’t dare to interrupt Karon’s communication with the World Tree, and scurried back and forth among the branches of the World Tree in a hurry.

“Hehe,” the World Tree consciousness, pleased with the praise, shook its branches happily, throwing the two Titan Pythons off its body, and then said, “But, Dad, that big guy seems to be tied up. It can’t actively talk to me, and it can’t connect with me.”

“If I want to actively connect with it and achieve communication, I need to continue to grow,” the World Tree Owo’s consciousness suddenly sank, but the voice still echoed in Karon’s heart.

“One meter, two meters, three meters… I’m more than six meters now. When I grow to about one hundred meters, I can help Dad connect with that big guy.”

The World Tree Owo’s consciousness became active again and communicated with Karon.

“So, you have to learn knowledge to connect with that big guy as soon as possible. When you grow to one hundred meters, how much time will it take to help me?”

Karon patiently persuaded the World Tree Owo. For these childlike guys, you can't suppress them, you have to learn to guide them, otherwise it's difficult to achieve the desired effect.

“Okay, for Dad,” the World Tree Owo’s consciousness began to calm down, receiving the knowledge passed down from the ancient magic empire from Karon.

While transmitting knowledge, Karon also had to popularize some common sense to the World Tree, which didn’t understand much, and explain some of the difficulties of the knowledge, so that the World Tree could digest the knowledge as soon as possible.

Until the golden bell hanging in the Dragon Sanctuary on the summit was rung by the heroic spirits guarding the sanctuary, which meant that another hour had passed.

The World Tree Owo quickly shouted, “Full, no, tired, Dad, it’s time to rest.”

Karon stopped and let the World Tree Owo relax its consciousness, lest too much knowledge be instilled at once and be difficult to digest, like water off a duck's back, or words in one ear and out the other.
