Under the Red Dragon
#230 - Spear and Sword
In the winter, Clanlis held his daughter's small hand and set foot on this somewhat famous land.
The former land of gold, now the Golden Empire, has become a veritable haven for order monsters. Only when Clanlis truly set foot on this land did he understand the meaning of this.
Even on the road to the city between the harbor and the Golden City, he passed by as many as eight or nine races, but his gaze was always drawn to the particularly tall goblins and kobolds.
Goblins and kobolds, in almost every plane of existence, are at the very bottom. Even the dragons that drive these lackeys regard these two kinds of dependents as disposable garbage.
However, within the Golden Empire, the situation of these goblins and kobolds was somewhat unexpected to Clanlis. It seemed to be as the Dragon Emperor of the Golden Empire had said, that no matter what race, as long as they became a member of the empire, they could find their place in this emerging empire.
Some scholars who like to study biology, after examining the various races within the Golden Empire, discovered that the goblins and kobolds within the empire, the races most prone to mutation, have mutated and evolved with the influence of the dragons and the changes in the empire.
Just like the hobgoblins, who are of the same goblin race but different kinds, the goblins within the Golden Empire are far superior to their counterparts in other regions in terms of intelligence, physique, and order, as if a benign mutation has occurred in the entire race.
Therefore, the goblins and kobolds within the Golden Empire are also specifically marked by scholars as - Golden Kobolds, Golden Goblins.
Clanlis only stayed on this land for a quarter of an hour before he lowered his guard and took off the hoods and veils that tightly wrapped himself and his daughter.
Only here, the dragonkin born as dragons will not be subjected to the prejudices and misunderstandings of the world. These dragonkin born as dragons, a unique race born with the best advantages of dragons and humanoids, can walk among the masses without any burden.
Le薇拉(Le薇拉: Le薇拉) turned to look at her father, Clanlis's scales were somewhat gray, looking as if they were shielding him from the wind and frost during a wandering journey and gradually aging, but he still seemed capable of single-handedly defeating a terrifying dire bear.
In more than ten years of life, Le薇拉(Le薇拉: Le薇拉) had already learned to read her father's facial expressions. Those who did not understand how to capture the changes in her and her father's eyes would only see a cold dragon face on Clanlis's face.
But in reality, the closing and opening of the scales, the bending and stretching of the spine, the angle of the eye movements, and the showing and hiding of the teeth are all rich expressions on the faces of dragonkin, similar to dragons.
But at this moment, all the scales on Clanlis's body were completely still. Even in Le薇拉's(Le薇拉's: Le薇拉's) eyes, her father was no different from a giant dragon, like a dragon returning to its nest, peaceful and content.
Only when some personnel wearing special patterns stood in front of the father and daughter did Clanlis subconsciously raise his indifferent pupils, a gesture of vigilance from this naturally born dragonkin.
Clanlis took the identity documents from these people and then followed them to the checkpoint to register. Only then did he learn that these people called themselves the Dragon Worm Society, implying the insects on the giant dragon's body that clean up the debris.
In Clanlis's eyes, these people were more like the gang members in other kingdoms' cities, living in the sewers and slums, relying on various means to obtain illegal benefits.
However, within the Golden Empire, strictly speaking, there are no gang organizations. These gray organizations are also allowed to be established after being registered with the relevant government organizations of the empire.
No matter what era, what society, or what system of rule, the birth of these organization members walking on the edge of the white zone is inevitable, except for the prayer participants in the kingdom of God.
Therefore, the upper echelons of the empire also tacitly allow the existence of these extension organizations as the grassroots force of the empire's rule. Now these organizations have also obtained business licenses from the empire's government agencies, such as recruiting immigrants and being responsible for the entire process.
They are also responsible for part of the cargo handling at the docks and the transportation of non-important materials on various canals, which greatly liberates the power of the empire's grassroots organizations.
Hey, don't keep such a straight face. I have to say, you guys came to the empire at a really good time," the young Dragon Worm Society member, seemingly continuing his predecessors' consistent character of showing off, chattered incessantly in the ears of the two indifferent dragonkin.
The citizens of the Golden Empire always have a strong sense of pride in their homeland after making comparisons, and they are happy to show off their country to outsiders.
Do you know about Lady Rui Wen, hey, the creator of the Dragon Myriad World Card that is popular throughout the Northern Territory, the Deputy Minister of Agriculture of the Empire? She is holding a Myriad World Card competition these days. It is said that if you can win the top spot in the competition, you can get a mysterious card.
The two dragonkin, one large and one small, nodded indifferently, perfunctorily answering the young leader, their two pairs of eyes, which had become somewhat round, were staring at the tall city walls of the Golden City that were gradually moving away.
Huge heads, each with a different appearance and white bones, were hung on the city walls of the Golden City. The dragonkin recognized the Unicorn Sea Serpent from the deep sea, the Cleft-horn Demon Whale and other powerful sea monsters and beasts, as well as the Multi-armed Demon and others on land.
"What are those?" Clanlis interrupted the young man's incessant chatter, slightly raising his scale-covered chin and pointing towards the city walls of the Golden City.
"Oh, you mean this? This is the proof of the strong in the Golden City,"
The young man immediately became interested and said excitedly: "In order to compete for the title of Emperor of the Empire, the sacred crown of Gormora, strong people from all over the empire are arriving every day now."
"Some young strongmen hunt powerful monsters in the deep sea and in those undeveloped territories of the empire, obtain their heads, and imitate the dragons of the past, hanging the heads of their prey on the city walls to show off their prestige."
"Look at the head of that Unicorn Sea Serpent, it was taken by ' Giant God's Spear' Raymond. Let me tell you,雷蒙德's(雷蒙德's: Raymond's) name is now almost a household name in the empire, of course, not because of this guy's fifteen consecutive victories in the Glory Arena of the King's Capital."
"But because, according to those beautiful ladies, Raymond actually has two spears, one in his hand, and the other, hehe..."
The young Dragon Worm member chuckled, completely ignoring the contemptuous look in the little girl乐薇拉's(乐薇拉's: Le薇拉's) eyes. Of course, these ordinary people can't tell the subtle changes in the dragonkin's eyes.
"There is also the ' Dawn Divine Sword' who has been defeated repeatedly, and is evaluated by those beautiful ladies as - the Dawn Divine Sword's second sword on his body is more powerful than the sword in his hand, hahaha."
Although Clanlis was a dragonkin, males seemed to have some unknown pleasures in the commonality of certain topics.
Besides, Clanlis also needed to gather some intelligence from the seemingly naive human in front of him, so the two quickly started chatting enthusiastically.
The journey was not too far. The village that used to be a transfer point has now developed into a prosperous town next to the tall and magnificent Golden City, relying on the huge flow of people.
Along the way, the group also encountered many immigrants and slaves who were guided in batches and entered the immigrant town one after another.
Although it was just a town, it made many slaves and immigrants look around non-stop, not only because of the bustling crowd and the wealthy golden citizens, but also because of the unusually peaceful atmosphere.
Even in the alleys and streets where there were no guards patrolling, some shopkeepers and stall owners dared to lie down and take a nap.
Even their guard dogs and some pets were sleeping soundly with their bellies exposed and their limbs facing the sky, as if this place could give these people and animals absolute security.
But in other places, what these people saw would only be shops being looted, and these pets and shop owners might be robbed of their internal organs and used as materials for some evil rituals.
A strange light flashed in Clanlis's vertical pupils. As one of the first soul resurrections to step out of the temple, he undoubtedly received this opportunity because of his outstanding ability.
Even these ordinary details in front of him could allow Clanlis to see that within the Golden Empire, there must be strict laws and sufficient public security forces, coupled with the empire's guidance, to form such a situation.
But this undoubtedly increased the difficulty of his mission.
As one of the guides for those otherworldly souls who were about to descend into the world of Akania, Clanlis and the first batch of souls were born in the world of Akania decades in advance, silently understanding the world in the hidden world, secretly laying the net that enveloped the mortal world of Akania.
Originally, his mission was not this desolate land, but since this desolate land was established as a civilization by that red dragon, Clanlis's mission was changed.
Perhaps it was an accident when he was born into this world that led him to choose the identity of a dragonkin, which led to his current difficult situation, forcing him to start all over again.
But Clanlis could not refuse or resist because of this. Even if his achievements were enough to complete his mission, the shackles set by the supreme being behind him made him forever reincarnate in constant toil, intrigue, and slaughter, unable to find liberation.
He could only take this as a kind of gift, enjoying every journey of rebirth.
And each time he harvested and destroyed those civilizations, he gradually became unable to shake his heart, but now in this remote and isolated land, he had a long-lost feeling that this world was actually not bad.

"Eh," Clanlis touched his daughter's head and sighed. Sometimes, the beauty worth cherishing around him was also a kind of attachment to himself. He directly extinguished his abrupt thoughts in his mind, returned to his usual indifferent state, and turned his gaze to the huge iron-skinned monster that was噴薄着热气与魔力,咕隆咕隆奔行而来的(噴薄着热气与魔力,咕隆咕隆奔行而来的: spewing heat and magic, rumbling and running).
"Let's go, take your identity documents, show them to the goblin ticket inspector, and you can board the magic-powered steam car," the young man waved goodbye to his new friend: "When you arrive at the station, someone will greet you. Dragonkin, as long as you work hard and don't be lazy, you will soon be able to stand on your own two feet in the empire. I hope we will meet again someday! A wonderful life is beckoning to you!"
Clanlis waved casually at the talkative young man, and led his daughter into the open mouth on the side of the monster, only a sigh that was not uttered was stuck in his throat.
"A wonderful life, hehe!"
......
The Glory Arena of the King's Capital adopted a semi-dome design, with huge stone carved pillars, carved with stories and legendary heroes.
The entire huge arena, the appearance looks like a huge eggshell that has been opened in the middle, and the space inside is huge enough to accommodate tens of thousands of spectators.
The all-marble structure makes the entire arena look exceptionally solid, so there is no need to worry about being damaged by the dangerous power of those powerful gladiators.
Generally, the arena in winter is mainly about gladiators and gladiators, but the existing territory of the Golden Empire basically has no winter, only the northwest land that the pioneering legions are now opening up will have winter.
Today's arena is still opened with the battle between beasts and gladiators.
One after another, ancient-style chariots drove out of the Taiping Gate at the bottom of the arena. These ancient chariots can only be used as props for performances in the current Golden Empire.
The chariot was driven, running around the huge arena, the gladiators on the chariot were naked, exposing their healthy muscles, almost exactly the same as the heroes carved on the pillars.
But the gladiators who should have won the cheers of the arena audience and the colorful flying handkerchiefs were overshadowed their glory by the people on the high platform.
Because the figure of卡隆·高格莫拉(卡隆·高格莫拉: Caron Gormora), the Honored King of the Dragons, the Emperor who rules the Golden Empire, is sitting on the high platform at this moment, rarely revealing his other appearance, so the audience in the stands cheered loudly.
Especially those beautiful girls, blooming with the most enthusiastic emotions of their lives, raised the scarves and handkerchiefs in their hands and cheered towards the high platform.
Even the voice of the goblin who announced the opening on the temporary high platform in the center of the dueling arena with a sound amplifying magic array was drowned out by the enthusiastic cheers of the audience.
Caron had to stand up from the luxurious and spacious high platform, and his deep gaze swept across the arena, stretched out his hands, and pressed down slightly, which made the clamorous arena gradually quiet down after bursting out with more enthusiastic sounds.
Beside him, Pick Sprite Rui Wen, who had awakened from her sleep, looked almost the same as she did at the beginning, but the sprite dust behind her had disappeared, as if it had merged into her body, making the skin of the Pick Sprite look like it had fluorescent light attached to it.
After Caron sat down, Pick Sprite瑞雯's(瑞雯's: Rui Wen's) body, which had grown to ninety centimeters, could no longer sit on卡隆's(卡隆's: Caron's) shoulders like she used to when she was with the true dragon body.
So the little sprite Rui Wen had to sit on卡隆's(卡隆's: Caron's) lap, peeling the grapes and fruits on the table and feeding them into卡隆's(卡隆's: Caron's) mouth, while talking to Caron, the dragon who was a bit of a homebody in the eyes of outsiders.
"Although you look more pleasing now, I still prefer you as a giant dragon,"瑞雯's(瑞雯's: Rui Wen's) small nose wrinkled slightly, and she put the huge grape into卡隆's(卡隆's: Caron's) mouth.
"Although I also prefer my original appearance, the empire now occasionally needs to see my other side," Caron smiled slightly, holding the petite but plump Rui Wen in one hand, so as not to let her squirming body fall down directly.
"Then you should get out and about more, instead of learning from those lazy dragons who are always sleeping in their nests," Raven said discontentedly. "You're either busy day and night, or lazily sleeping for years. You should learn to enjoy your life. Although I know your goal is very firm and grand, you can't ignore the beauty around you for the sake of your goal!"
In these days since returning to the Empire, Kalon had been either digesting the remaining power of the blue dragon demon or waiting for the World Tree Ouver to awaken.
Almost all of his remaining time was spent dealing with government affairs and learning knowledge. Even Raven, who had awakened, rarely saw this ancestral red dragon who was so out of step with the typical dragon personality. No wonder the little sprite was complaining so much.
"Of course, I won't disregard the journey to the result for the sake of the final outcome. In fact, I am enjoying the process,"
Kalon reached out and gently pinched the little sprite's nose, laughing, "Right now, I am enjoying the time spent with you!"
