The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon

Royal capital

At the entrance of the magnificent palace

Eight royal guards in full armor stood like tough stone sculptures on the road to the core of power.

They held long swords tightly in their hands, and the blades flashed coldly in the morning light. They stood still like sculptures, guarding the inviolable throne.

Under the sunlight, the soldiers' helmets flashed sharp eyes like eagles.

Even through the precise mesh, the cold murderous aura still penetrated through the obstacles, like the cold wind in winter, which made people shudder.

Even at a distance, passers-by could feel a breathtaking cold breath.

Soldiers who can guard the main gate of the palace are naturally not ordinary people.

They are not only the barrier of the palace, but also the symbol of the king's dignity.

Don't look at the fact that there are only eight people.

Once these people take action, combined with the protective magic circle of the palace, even legendary strongmen may not be able to quickly solve them in a short time.

Each of them is a veteran soldier selected from the Five Colors Legion. Only after special training and selection can they be qualified to join the King's Guard.

The most special thing about the King's Guard is that they only obey the king's orders.

After joining, even if the former legion commander comes in person, he has no right to command them to do anything.

No matter who wants to pass through here, they must be inspected by these guards.

Even the king's concubine is no exception.

Just when the atmosphere was solemn, a crisp voice broke the silence.

"Good morning."

A girl in a white wizard robe walked slowly.

Her long silver hair fluttered gently in the morning breeze, and her red pupils were like shining gems, full of vitality and warmth.

Vivian waved gently at several familiar uncles, with a warm smile on her face.

Several guards relaxed their shoulders slightly because of her arrival.

Although they were still alert, the seriousness on their faces seemed to be resolved a lot by her smile.

"Good day, Her Highness Vivian."

One of the young soldiers took the initiative to walk out of the line and came to Vivian to salute, with a hint of admiration in his tone:

"Are you going to the palace to study again today?"

Vivian shook her head slightly, still smiling: "Today is other things."

The young soldier was stunned for a moment, and was about to continue asking, but was interrupted by the captain of the guard beside him:

"Okay, get out of the way, don't delay Her Highness the Princess."

As he said, the captain forcibly pulled the young soldier aside to make way for Vivian to the palace.

At the same time, he bowed to Vivian apologetically:

"Sorry, Princess, this kid is new and doesn't know the rules of the palace yet."

"It's okay."

Vivian smiled and didn't say much, just waved her hand:

"Then I'll go first, Uncle Quill, and everyone else."

Except for the young soldier, the other veterans bowed their heads and saluted, saying in unison:

"May the morning breeze of Karen accompany you forward."

After the white figure walked farther and farther away and disappeared at the end of the sight.

The captain of the guard raised his head, turned around, stretched out his fist and hammered the young soldier's shoulder with a "bang".

The collision of the armor made a crisp sound similar to tinnitus.

The terrifying force shocked the young soldier to retreat several steps, his chest was stuffy, and a faint sweetness appeared in his mouth.

The other veterans who witnessed all this seemed to have seen nothing.

"Do your job well and don't think about things you shouldn't think about."

The captain of the guard had a sharp look and a cold voice.

He stared at the young soldier who had just joined the team, and his tone was as cold as ice:

"You have gone through so many tests and suffered so much. It is not easy for you to come to the capital. I hope you cherish this rare opportunity and not throw your life here in vain."

After a pause, the captain of the guard seemed to be thinking about whether it was necessary to give further warnings, but finally chose to end gently:

"This is the last piece of advice."

The captain of the guard glared at him:

"In the capital, don't have any bad thoughts about Princess Vivian, otherwise no one can save you."

"I don't want my team to lose members due to any factors other than fighting, do you understand?"

The young soldier trembled slightly, his heart tightened, and he realized that he had received a precious reminder from his predecessor.

He took a deep breath and responded in a low voice:

"Yes, captain, I will remember it."

Then, he endured the tingling in his arm, stood still again, and continued to perform his guard work.

Seeing that the other party seemed to have listened to it.

The captain of the guard looked at several veterans, nodded silently, and said nothing more.

As the guardians of power, these veterans knew one thing very well:

That is, in this land of power, some things can be obtained through one's own efforts; and some things, even if you try your best, will only end up in pieces.

Just like they, a mere warrior, can easily stop those arrogant ministers without caring about their faces.

It has nothing to do with ability, it's just the rules.

At the same time

In the palace

Vivian hummed an unknown song and walked alone on the white stone road that was wide enough for eight dragon cars to pass side by side.

Halfway through, she suddenly stopped.

After scanning the surroundings and making sure no one noticed her, Vivian shook her head gently and called out softly:

"Ron?"

As the words fall

The next second, a looming transparent baby dragon appeared above Vivian's head.

That was Ron who turned on the force invisibility and shrunk his body.

"Hmm~~~~What's wrong?"

Ron lay on Vivian's hat, stretched out, and responded sleepily.

This is the seventh day of reading with Ron.

Entering the palace with Vivian is actually quite boring.

In order to achieve ambitious goals for the future.

Vivian has to learn more than ten different royal courses and special magic under the arrangement of the old king every day, and she also has to roughly master the languages ​​of six mainstream races in the astral world.

The level of fatigue is comparable to that of the bulls and horses in the sprint period of their senior year of high school in previous lives!

In the past, Hermione was basically responsible for the job of accompanying students.

Unfortunately, Hermione has just finished Ode to Life and is "recuperating" at home and is unable to continue this work.

After transforming from a construct into a human, although the appearance does not change, the internal structure is completely different.

For example: a simple [raise hand] action.

In the past, Hermione only needed to give commands to the central device, and then through the operation of magic, she could raise her arms.

After becoming a human, Hermione needs to first let the brain transmit information to the nerves, and then the nerves transmit it to the muscle cells, and then rotate the four joints (sternoclavicular joint, acromioclavicular joint, scapulothoracic wall joint, and glenohumeral joint) through stretching. ), while performing precise interaction, it also requires the mutual balance of muscles and soft tissues, as well as the participation of the thoracic spine to complete the action of [raising hand].

This huge change caused Hermione to be unable to even stand steady when she just finished her transformation.

Of course, this was a week ago.

Now Hermione has almost passed the adaptation period to her new body.

However, although she said that she was recovering well, her strength had also recovered to the point where she could act independently.

But Ron still insisted on arranging for her to get familiar with her new body with the help of Gaia.

As for the reason.

Who can resist your cute sister wagging your tail and acting coquettishly while calling you "brother" affectionately?

Anyway, Ron couldn't resist anymore, so he could only "bear the pain and give up" and ruthlessly betray his good daughter~~

As for accompanying students.

Anyway, Ron happened to be very free recently, so he took over his daughter's vacant "task".

Vivian hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively:

"If Hermione is really aging like Gaia said."

"So that's what happened."

Ron yawned and said very casually:

"That child of Gaia is just too worried. She doesn't even think about it. Since I can use life and death, wouldn't it be easy for a human to get rid of the shackles of lifespan?"

"Worst, worst, I can let her enter my Kingdom of God. Isn't it easy to get the power of eternal life?"

Vivian was stunned, with a confused look in her eyes:

"Huh? Is it so easy to change your life span?"

In Vivian's original understanding, things like lifespan were sacred and inviolable. She always believed that the length of life was part of the laws of nature and could not be easily changed.

However, Ron's words completely overturned her worldview.

In his mouth, life seems to be just a material that can be shaped at will, as easily as talking about a ball of plasticine, rounded and flattened, without any sense of weight.

Sensing Vivian's surprise and confusion, Ron reached out his dragon claw angrily and tapped her little head gently:

"Idiot, don't underestimate the power of a Dragon God!"

After being knocked, Vivian was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help showing a naive smile:

"Hey hey hey"

The familiar tone and friendly tapping made Vivian feel the long-lost warmth.

Since becoming "Her Royal Highness", people around her have feared and respected her because of her identity, but they have forgotten that she is still just a underage girl.

This loneliness and pressure made her almost forget the taste of simple happiness.

Except for the people in the Castle of Justice, only Ron's attitude towards her remained unchanged.

"Ron?" she called softly.

"Huh?" Ron responded.

"It's okay, I just wanted to call you."

She couldn't help but feel that just calling like this was a great comfort.

"???"

Ron was slightly startled.

But then, as if he saw something, he curled his lips and slightly lowered his floating height so that his body could truly fit above Vivian's head.

This intimate gesture made Vivian's depression gradually dissipate.

She couldn't help but stretched out her hand and gently touched the slender dragon tail hanging on her shoulders. The smooth touch of the colorful dragon scales made her feel familiar and reassuring.

In this brief moment, all worries seemed to be thrown away, leaving only pure joy and relaxation.

Watching Vivian humming a song and jumping like a gust of wind, she ran towards the palace council hall.

Ron's lips unconsciously curled up into a smile.

What a little fool, don't you doubt whether I own the Kingdom of God?

Really, don’t let trust be given to others so easily in the future.

Gently lowering the dragon's head, sucking in the jasmine fragrance coming from the girl's hair, Ron, who was lying on the hat, began to relax, and his eyes gradually became ethereal.

[Regarding the matter of the Kingdom of God, it is indeed necessary to start preparations. 】

Ron thought silently.

Although he acted relaxed and casual in front of Vivian, he did not relax because of it.

Ron knows that establishing the Kingdom of God is not easy.

Think about it, even the action of raising an arm by ordinary humans requires so many steps. The details and complexity that need to be considered in establishing a country are far beyond ordinary people's imagination!

First of all, the space construction of the Kingdom of God requires a stable and self-consistent law system, so as to ensure that life in it can survive for a long time and is not affected by external influences.

Secondly, he needs to determine which lives can enter and how to manage and maintain the order of this space.

At the same time, the possible impact of the existence of the Kingdom of God on the outside world and where to set the entrance to the Kingdom of God also need to be carefully weighed by Ron.

After thinking about it, Ron had an idea and thought of a method similar to "cheating"!

That is to directly transform the existing material plane into your own realm of the Kingdom of God!

If other gods knew this idea, they would definitely sneer at it.

Because if you want to completely occupy and transform a material plane into a kingdom of gods, the amount of divine power and faith required is simply massive, and it is almost impossible for any god to be able to do this.

The reason why Ron came up with this method was because he had a special item.

In the endless spiritual world

Ron's body gradually appeared in the air.

He slowly raised his head and looked at two groups of lights of different colors, one purple and one gold, in the sky.

That purple mass is the various magical inheritances Xiani left to him.

In addition to various types of magic, there are even methods for making exclusive magic such as the Magic Crown, which can be called the rainbow dragon clan's magic collection!

And another ball of golden light is Ron's goal this time:

That's one

The seeds of [Kingdom of God]!

————————

Following the message sent by the king, Vivian quickly came to the door of the council hall and waited.

She felt slightly nervous.

Although it was already a year ago since I first entered the kingdom.

But whenever she enters such a formal occasion, she still feels a little uneasy.

"Your Highness, this way."

The appearance of a masked black-armored guard interrupted Vivian's thoughts:

"plz follow me."

"Oh." Vivian nodded quickly and followed.

The guard led her through several corridors and finally stopped in front of a hidden secret door.

The door opened slightly, revealing a dim light, as if waiting for her arrival.

at the same time

The council hall on the other side was already crowded with various elders and ministers.

They whispered to each other in low voices, their faces full of doubts and uneasiness.

The reason why the old king suddenly summoned all the ministers puzzled everyone.

The golden throne above the steps was still empty, as if waiting for its master to return.

Under the throne, six bronze chairs are arranged in sequence.

Six old men with white beards and hair sat steadily in their respective positions, closing their eyes and relaxing.

Although everyone below was talking a lot, no one dared to step forward and ask these six old men.

Because they have the power second only to the king in the Rose Kingdom, and are the most powerful existence besides the king - [House of Elders]!

The existence of the Elders' House is an integral part of the current political system of the Rose Kingdom.

These elderly people who are over a hundred years old not only have rich experience and wisdom, but are also responsible for handling various government affairs under the entrustment of the king.

At this time, the expressions of the old men were different, but they all looked very solemn.

In fact, even they didn't know what the old king's purpose was.

I have to mention it here

The political structure of the Rose Kingdom is actually very unique.

It is different from the Frost Kingdom and the Orc Kingdom (old) monarchy where the king has sole power and everything is decided by the king.

The political system of the Rose Kingdom was established by the first emperor: Victor Bryan.

Its overall structure is more similar to Ron's "cabinet system" in his previous life.

That is, some of the king's powers were delegated to many ministers represented by the "House of Elders" and the "Council".

They are like worker bees in a hive, each carrying out corresponding tasks around the political structure with the "King" as the center.

At the same time, the king's decrees were issued directly to the city lords of each city, and the city lords would in turn issue them to the various towns and villages under their rule, and so on for hierarchical rule.

As for the king himself, he only needs to firmly hold the direct authority of the army represented by the "Five Color Legion" and the "Palace Mage Corps", and he can easily command these "civilians" to work for him.

In this way, it will not only greatly reduce the king's energy in dealing with political affairs every day, allowing him enough time to study and improve his own strength, but also prevent the possibility of collusion between the army and civil servants.

The reason why this structure appears is also caused by Karen's special environment.

After all, this is an otherworldly world with magic, not the real Middle Ages.

No matter which country it is, as long as it controls the power of the military, it is equivalent to controlling the rights of the entire country.

Qiangwei's system perfectly fits this point.

Although these ministers usually seem to be extremely powerful, they can be said to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.

But in fact, as long as the king opens his mouth, these former superiors will fall into the abyss in an instant-because their rights come entirely from the king's grant.

This special political structure is one of the important reasons why Ron suspected that the first emperor was a time traveler.

However, to this day, the emperor has long fallen, and Ron is too lazy to explore his identity.

After all, the star realm is so big that there will always be one or two people with similar experiences.

The so-called time travel is just an explanation that mortals cannot understand the behavior of higher-level life.

Just like Ron was chosen by the fragment of Io's godhood.

Perhaps the emperor also came to the Karen material plane for some special reason-such as obtaining the spark of a certain unlucky planeswalker, and established his own great achievements here.

And now

Ron is ready to "sort out" the legacy of this predecessor who traveled through time.

He wants to transform Karen into his own kingdom of God.

And the starting point of all this is naturally from the most familiar Rose Kingdom! (End of this chapter)
