Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 155 May this world shine like gold
The first year of the Dragon Calendar, which is the first year of the calendar born in the Dragon's Lair territory.

The golden land in winter is still warm.

The first representative city born in this vast territory, the City of Gold, had a lively and bustling atmosphere that seemed to make the warm weather even more irritating.

Early in the morning, city residents hurriedly had their breakfast, a simple mashed potato salad with a small bowl of rich mushroom soup.

Then, without even having time to pack up their things, the whole family hurried out the door and walked quickly towards the central square of the Golden City.

There were also many outsiders who came to this territory for trade or stayed in the city, such as some merchant groups, bards, adventurers, and spies from various forces, who also put down everything they were doing on this day.

Following the huge and noisy crowd, they headed towards the wide and vast square in the center of the city that was specially built for the dragon.

There were even some villagers from villages far away from the city in the territory who rushed to the city on this day.

They swarmed like waves on the sea, gathering in front of the high stone platform in the central square to celebrate the celebration and for the free wine and barbecue.

More importantly, to see the dragons that rule this place. It is a rare moment to be so close to all the real dragons.

The majestic dragon sitting on the high and broad stone platform stands like a firm and majestic king, and its red pupils like gems are filled with wisdom and calmness.

A pair of thick, long, deep red three-pronged dragon horns are the crown on the monarch's head and the scepter of power. The more than 16-meter-long body is like the most perfect sculpture in the world, and the gradually turning deep red scales reflect a dazzling halo in the rising sun, perfect and powerful!
The king of earth and metal, the monarch who controls fire and magma, Karon Gogmora.

Or maybe it is a title advocated by only a small number of anthropologists - shaping the dragon of world civilization!
This is the title belonging to the supreme ruler of the territory, but not all dragons will get their own title.

Only those dragons with outstanding strength and talent can gain recognition from others and have their own title.

Although some of these titles are intended to make those vain and title-loving five-colored dragons jealous of each other and cause hatred and conflict between them, it is undeniable that this red dragon, who has had his own name since his youth, has a powerful talent.

As for Gemot, who is also respected as the White King in the territory, and Kamide, who is lucky enough to be called the White King's twin because of his connection with Gemot.

Their names were only circulated within their territory and were not as well known as the Red Dragon in many civilized worlds.

Behind the supreme ruler, the members of the Gogmora dragon group lined up one by one, occupying a place. The female red dragon Clenaya, the female green dragon Antajiana, and the female bronze dragon Alina were on the right.

The black dragon Rosani, the teenage blue dragon Akzi, the blue dragon Doss, the white dragon twins, and the copper dragon Alfred, these majestic male dragons were lined up on the left.

However, many residents of the Golden City are already familiar with the two blue dragons. After all, this place is close to the sea and is where the two blue dragons often appear.

They are the lords who guard the sea, and their personalities are not as violent as other five-colored dragons. Through frequent contact, they have gained the respect and love of many people.

Despite their nature as five-colored dragons, these two blue dragons would occasionally intimidate or play pranks on fishermen at sea and children on the beach, but few people were really afraid of them.

The green dragon Antajiana, which was not considered particularly good-looking in Kalon's eyes, was a beautiful dragon in the eyes of these people.

The dragon horns on its head that look like a crown and the scales that are the color of emerald are very popular among women and children. The green dragon dancing among the flying birds while patrolling the sky is especially a beautiful sight.

There are also two white dragons. Gemot has been maintaining order in the territory in the early stage, allowing the Golden City to develop smoothly in the early stage, so he has already gained a group of supporters.

The white dragon Kamide did not leave much impression on everyone. After all, this white dragon always liked to lie in his nest and take a nap. He always hoped to grow stronger according to the method taught by Kalon.

However, due to the business of selling ice at low prices, the people who enjoy this benefit look at the white dragon with friendly eyes.

Especially the increasing number of dwarf wine-buying groups, whistling and shouting under the platform: "Wow, look, this is the generous White Dragon Lord, the beloved of the dwarves!"

As for the Black Dragon Rosani, he did not receive as good public opinion as other dragons. Although the Black Dragon often flew across the sky to protect the territory, due to its terrifying appearance in the past and the rumors about its bloodlust and viciousness, it was always shrouded in a dark aura.

Although the black dragon is no longer the original skeleton dragon, the people in the zoo still stay away from it even more.

This guy would go to the zoo every now and then to assess the elven druids, human animal trainers, and gnoll animal managers. He would always ask these people to focus on taking care of the horses and interfere with other people's work.

Although the Ministry of the Interior, which coordinates the internal affairs of the territory, has complained to Kallon many times, Kallon did not care about such matters.

The black dragon Rosani was also one of the supreme lords who ruled this territory. This kind of trivial matter was not a privilege at all, so Kalon very skillfully passed the blame to the white dragon Gemot and asked the Ministry of the Interior to negotiate with Gemot.

The female red dragon, Clenaya, is a hot-tempered and stubborn dragon. She is a popular dragon. Except for sleeping and gathering with other dragons, she almost always wanders around the dragon territory.

The increasingly popular gladiatorial arena was where the mother dragon spent her time. The mindless beasts and powerful creatures in the territory were the targets of her venting and beatings. Many people were saved from the mouths of wild beasts by the mother dragon.

But this mother dragon is like a proud queen. She never bothers to accept people's thanks and flattery. Instead, people have a thick filter towards this self-willed mother dragon.

There were only two metal dragons, the copper dragon Alfred and the bronze dragon Alina. The appearance of these two giant dragons made the residents overjoyed.

In order to facilitate their daily activities, the two metal dragons basically use Transfiguration to transform into human forms. This is the habit of metal dragons.

The bronze dragon Alina was far away in Gulfstream City, and she could only travel back and forth at dusk. Therefore, in the era of isolated transportation, most people in the territory did not know that two metal dragons had joined the dragon group.

Therefore, even though it was just their first appearance in front of most of the people in the territory, these two metal dragons, known for their kindness and justice, still won the kindness of the people.

The good reputation of metallic dragons makes it easier for them to gain the trust and favor of others.

Even though the square was filled with ogre guards with serious faces and weapons in hand who were silently maintaining order, they could not stop the cheers of the people.

"Look, it's a metal dragon. These good dragons have also been conquered by the noble red dragon and joined the dragon group..."

"Quiet,"

The stern-looking giant demon Fafna shouted in a rare stiff manner. The giant demon's naturally strong mental power calmed the restlessness of the crowd. She said loudly: "In the name of the ruler of the Golden Land, the lord of the centaurs, gnolls, and ogres, the honorable dragon monarch Karon Gogmora, I appoint the copper dragon Alfred as the head of the Cultural Propaganda Department of the Golden Land;"

"Appoint Bronze Dragon Alina as the Archon of the Golden Land, stationed in Gulfstream City!"

The four-meter-five-meter-tall ogre was dressed in a gorgeous robe and stood under the dragon flag fluttering in the wind. His voice, expanded by his spiritual power, resounded in the ears of every citizen.

The crowd, which had gradually quieted down, began to stir again. People shouted and raised their hands. The warm atmosphere heated up the entire square.

In the distance, the Tree of Life and the Treeman of War were shaking their branches desperately, spreading cool natural air, trying to cool down the overly hot atmosphere in the square.

This is a recognition and appointment of the two metal dragons to join the dragon group, and it is also a sign of importance attached to them. Allowing them to make a public appearance on this important festival is very beneficial to the image of the dragon group.

The copper dragon Alfred and the bronze dragon Alina gracefully placed their right wings on their left chests, which again caused the crowd to cheer.

Amidst the warm cheers, the Flame King perched on the high platform walked towards the front of the stage, raised his head high, and glanced at all the people below the stage.

Under the silent gaze of the supreme king, the enthusiastic cheers gradually died down and the crowd became quiet again.

"The Golden Land, this vast land, was a place where countless races coexisted before it had any civilization," Caron's voice was as deep and powerful as ever, as heavy as a mountain, yet it echoed and overlapped.

"And the dragons and I will build a civilization here. It will be a civilization that embraces many races and cultures. Races that were once enemies and hated each other, such as trolls, humans, goblins, ogres, elves...even metal dragons and five-colored dragons, will become members of the territory."

Caron's voice gradually became louder, like an excellent orator, a speaker who was good at stirring up the atmosphere, and the deep, reverberating voice echoed throughout the square.

"But racial barriers and boundaries are only minor. The commonalities of all races will be integrated into a unified, great civilization through communication and exchange, seeking common ground while reserving differences."

The red dragon's voice vibrated, making the most passionate sound.

"This world will shine like gold, and civilization will be passed on like a torch. This will be the time when the stars of all civilizations shine, gathering under the same sky and becoming the people of gold!"

The atmosphere was loud and enthusiastic, and the noise was overwhelming, far more so than at any other time. The crowds of people rushed forward, shouting "Golden People" loudly, throwing the wine in their cups, and the girls also threw the flower wreaths in their hands. Some of the more daring ones even took off their bras and waved them like flags.

At this moment, these people spontaneously aroused a sense of cohesion, and the embryonic form of cultural consciousness of identity, recognition, and unity was quietly forming.

At this moment, Karon also felt an illusory figure slowly emerging behind him. It was in the form of a human, and it was also Karon's appearance.

Karon's expression changed, and he quietly took back the illusory figure.

But the cheers seemed to never stop, like the surging waves, every time the tide reached low, higher waves would roll up again.

Especially when the territory medals were being awarded, the shouts of the people in the audience were too much for these dragons with exceptionally good hearing.

The subjects wearing medals of various styles made of gold stood on the platform, under the giant dragon lord, receiving cheers and worship from the crowds.

Heroic Mother, the recipients of this title and medal, a dozen trembling women of various races, gradually straightened their backs under the fluttering Dragon's Eye flag, and the front of the medal engraved with a cradle shone with dazzling golden light in the sun.

There are also model workers, these ordinary laborers, who hold up the medals engraved with sickles and rice in their dry and cracked hands, and show smiles of harvest amid the cheers of the crowds, just as they are facing a field full of ears of rice.

There were also dozens of warriors who either stood upright or were missing limbs, with tears in their eyes. They stuck battle medals engraved with swords on their chests and looked at the giant dragon flag fluttering in the wind.

And the goblin Bang Bang, holding a medal engraved with a pattern that looked like a ball of sparks, struggled to stand up on his short legs, proudly raised his medal, and showed it off to the people below the stairs.

Teach, the alchemical transformation fanatic, was also holding a medal engraved with a brain emblem and observing it carefully.

From time to time, he would place the medal on his newly replaced braces and tap it gently, listening to the wonderful sound and smiling with pride.

The fronts of these medals may be different, but on the back, there is a unified inscription: "May this world shine like gold, and may civilization be passed on like a torch!"

And a simple heraldic mark, which represents the dragon, the red dragon's eye.

After announcing that all entertainment venues such as the arena, the Colosseum, and the large bathhouse were free today, Charon took off with his group of dragons amid the hoarse cheers of the people.

Every dragon has its own place to go, and Kalon chose a bathing place built specifically for dragons. Today, no matter who you are, everyone celebrates!
Two squinty-eyed wizards stood on the roof of an empty tavern outside the square. Although they could see the scene in the distance clearly with magic, they still squinted their eyes out of habit.

"Hey, teacher, I want to join the Dragon Territory. Do you think that with my ability, I will be directly appointed by Charon to become a senior official of the Ministry of Magical Integration?"

The black-haired, squinty-eyed wizard said with a slight sigh that when getting along with his teacher, Xiuser did not feel as much estrangement as when he was with his father.

"With your clumsy skills, you are not qualified to be a senior official, unless I join you, then it's almost the same."

The white-haired, squinty-eyed wizard squinted his eyes and taunted his disciple with a hint of contempt.

"You work hard to build the Misera core, or organize the knowledge of the element pool and build an element pool."

"If you raise the first wizard tower in the territory, I guess Kalon will not only appoint you as a senior official in the Department of Magical Integration, but will also reward you with a medal, allowing you to stand on the stage in all your glory!"

"Hey, it's not that easy," the black-haired, squinty-eyed wizard said dejectedly, "Many materials in the Mysera core are completely different from those in our world. We have to find substitutes for these materials."

"Even if the many wizards and scholars of the Magical Integration Department are researching and experimenting day and night, it is still not possible to replicate the Mysera Core in a short period of time. After all, it is the supreme creation of another civilization."

"As for the element pool, the amount of knowledge contained in it cannot be fully mastered even by you, the teacher. The knowledge involved is too broad!"

"Heh," the white-haired old wizard Lapers squinted his eyes, looked at the dragons flapping their wings in the distance, and said thoughtfully, "Why do I feel that Charon may master this knowledge faster than us!"
