Chapter 011: I'm sorry that the concubine hasn't married yet
The biggest reason why dragons are widely revered by the Galactic Nation as a mobile scourge is because of their habit of taking territory around the universe. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Spread out the galaxy star map, you can see that hundreds of dragon lords are forcibly inserted into the star fields that mark the kingdoms in a chaotic manner, and these dragon lords are like deeds into the earth, some blocking trade routes, and some are adjacent to the country's capital. Basically, the fuse of disputes between interstellar nations and dragons almost always originates from the fact that a male dragon suddenly occupies an important territory in his country, and the result is often that the occupied party has no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit.
As a super life that crosses the galaxy, the resources that dragons need to survive are not as huge as imagined, at least they don't need a vast star field with star systems as a unit. The question of what is the reason for forcibly occupying the star system at the risk of war with interstellar countries has attracted countless scholars to come to examine.
One hypothesis is that dragons may need to eat a special ore to sustain their lives, and that the occupied galaxies produce this special ore. So far, however, no one has claimed to have found this so-called "special ore".
There is also a hypothesis that dragons have extremely high requirements for the light of their habitats, and that stars that emit a specific spectrum of energy are more likely to attract dragons. The theorist even swore to take out the Dragon's Collar Spectral Statistical Table to try to prove this thesis, but in the end it was only the fact that he had thought too much.
Some scholars have tried to put forward the idea of "maybe they are just trying to reproduce?" from the perspective of common sense, but this too ordinary opinion has not been taken seriously, and it has only been briefly mentioned in the encyclopedia as a negative textbook with insufficient evidence.
"That's right. ”
Long Ji nodded coldly, making Wen Daofa exclaim "Huh".
"Dragons occupy territory everywhere in order to multiply?"
"More precisely, for courtship. ”
"Seeking, courting?" Wen Dao was stunned and stammered.
"Isn't it strange that in nature, many male birds build gorgeous nests in order to attract their female mate......s?
In the dragon family, juvenile dragons grow up under the wings of their parents, while male dragons that are close to adulthood leave their parents' nests and fly to the sea of stars. Before reaching adulthood, dragons spend centuries roaming the galaxy, keeping an eye on the stars along the way in search of a destined mate. Once he is shot by Cupid's arrow, he will immediately return to the star field he passed through on his previous tour and forcibly occupy him.
After forcibly separating the field from its original state, the dragon will choose a suitable location within the field and pour all his passion and talent into building a magnificent orbital city-state as a lair. Then take the orbital city-state and the entire star field as a dowry, so as to courtship the female dragon of his choice.
Through the dowry presented by the male dragon, the female dragon can also clearly understand the talent and affection of the suitor. If impressed, the dragon can happily marry the bride and raise their offspring together.
“…… If you want to succeed in impressing your beloved, you have to work hard from the very beginning of choosing a site. Those occupied star fields should have elements that female dragons like, but they are not just chosen casually. ”
Listening to Long Ji's supplementary explanation, Wen Dao was completely speechless. I thought that if these words were heard by those scholars who had studied the evidence, they would probably even have the heart to find a piece of tofu and crash to death, right? Are these super creatures who roam the sea of stars creating epic strife one after another in the universe just to compose a love ballad?
Wen Dao shook his confused head and tried to concentrate. Yan Sui's kind explanation just now certainly allowed him to know many precious insiders of the dragon clan, but at the same time, he also felt some strange incongruities, and Wen Tao tried to sort them out.
"Your Highness, may I dare to ask a few questions?"
"Yes. ”
"Your Highness just said that it is the male dragon who will occupy the star field and build a nest and court, right?"
"That's right. ”
"Then this Jade Dragon Collar is indeed managed by His Royal Highness, right?"
"Hmm. ”
"May I ask who is Your Highness's husband?"
The male dragon that occupies the star field will build an ornate nest and woo the female dragon, and the female dragon who accepts the courtship will stay in the star field where the nest is located. Since Yan Sui is the hostess of the jade dragon collar, then from the result backwards, it will naturally come to the conclusion that this jade dragon collar should be offered as a dowry.
To be honest, Wendao was still somewhat hit. Long Ji, who obviously looks so innocent, didn't expect to be married to a wife, which is really unseemly. But after all, dragons are super beings with a long lifespan, and it is natural that they can't tell their age from their appearance. Wen Dao even thought about whether in addition to her husband, there were even several princesses of Long Gongzi or something......
Of course, wavering is shaken, but from the standpoint of the newcomer's retainers, Wen Dao must find out how many of his immediate bosses there are. Sadly, however, this consideration of dedication was not conveyed to the people to whom it was served.
I saw that Long Ji, who was originally flying smoothly, suddenly braked suddenly, and Wen Dao above his head was almost thrown out by the huge inertia, and he was spared by holding the dragon horns tightly. The dragon breath that wrapped Wen Dao fluctuated violently, and although he couldn't see Long Ji's expression, he could clearly feel Long Ji's wavering.
“…… You seem to have misunderstood something. ”
It took some time for Ryuhime to come to her senses, explaining in an unclear tone.
"The Jade Dragon Territory is the territory of my father, King Ao Qin, and I am only temporarily managing it in place of my father. ”
It is not uncommon for some extremely powerful dragons to rule over more than one of the star fields, and it is not uncommon for some of these star fields to be managed by their unmarried daughters. After all, the female dragon will have to face the situation of ruling the dragon territory with her partner in the future, so getting familiar with management affairs early is also a part of the bride's practice.
Of course, at this moment, Wendao had no way of understanding such a custom, so he asked inappropriate questions.
"Is Your Highness's territory elsewhere?"
“…… I'm sorry, but I haven't been courted by any dragons. ”
Long Ji's tone was obviously unhappy, even if she was as dull as Wen Dao, she noticed it, and she was silent at the moment.
If you haven't accepted the courtship of the dragon, you will naturally not have a territory as a dowry, which is the gentle response of the dragon queen. However, if you analyze it carefully, the expression "has not accepted courtship" is actually quite ambiguous, and at best it can be interpreted as "rejected all suitors", and at worst it seems that there is nothing wrong with interpreting it as "no male dragon came to court".
However, at this stage, the relationship between the two is far from good enough to touch such private topics. In fact, Wen Dao's arrogant question had turned the originally brisk atmosphere into a stagnant, so that for a long time afterward, Wen Tao could not find a topic to break the deadlock, and he was distressed by it.
However, confirming that Long Ji is still Yun Ying's unmarried identity still makes Wen Dao's heart gush with inexplicable joy.
I don't know how long it took, but the dragon breath wrapped around Wen Dao became calm again. As if she had adjusted her mood, Long Ji looked at the galaxy in the distance, as if she wanted to break the deadlock and spoke again.
"Actually, we won't be occupying these fields forever. ”
"Huh, won't it occupy it forever?" Wen Dao hurriedly took the precious olive branch.
Yes. Just like seeing through Wendao's thoughts, the wise Long Ji expanded the topic.
Although the male dragon will exert a fierce execution power that even the interstellar nations dare not provoke during the nesting period, once it has acquired a partner, it will immediately return to a state of laziness as if it had burned out, and then begin a thousand-year-long residence period. During this period, the male dragon had a mild and loose temper, and spent most of his time in his nest and raised his children with his wife. Whether it is for the surrounding states or the people of the dragon leader, the male dragon in the residence period is the supreme existence that can be called the guardian of order.
Dragons are basically male and female, often in relationships that last until death, and their love fidelity is enough to dwarf most humans. However, in certain cases, there are also precedents for male dragons in the residential period to continue to marry more than one female dragon, and these female dragons and their original partners are often close sisters.
When thousands of years have passed and their children have left the nest to become independent, the aging dragon couple will give up their territory and move back to Gangze, the capital of Longdu, to reunite with family and friends, and spend the last days of their lives there. At such times, the wealthy dragon lords who have lost the protection of their lords often become the target of forcible seizure by the surrounding interstellar countries, and even rekindle the fire of strife. However, because the dragon domain itself has a well-established state function, there are also examples of it overpowering the surrounding invasion and evolving into an independent state.
"There is such a thing......
Wen Dao couldn't help but be stunned. Sure enough, compared with the unreliable evidence of the encyclopedia, the truth heard from the mouth of the person concerned is more shocking.
However, the male dragon occupies the star field of other countries in order to build a nest and court, and when it grows old, the star field it gives up will give birth to a new country, so the wonderful ecology of reincarnation reminds Wen Tao of a certain episode of the animal world that he has seen before.
The animal world talks about the elephant herd in the forest, saying that when the elephant passes through the forest, it will destroy the trees along the way, causing some damage, but the old trees that fall will make room for the growth of new seedlings, and their decaying branches will also become a paradise for insects. It can be said that the elephant herd is an indispensable element for maintaining the metabolism of the forest.
In this sense, dragons should have a similar significance to the galactic civilization as a whole, right?
“…… The elephants of the forest?"
When Wendao said what he thought, Ryuhime blinked in surprise.
"yes, I can still look at it like this......"
A pleasant murmur leaked from Ryuhime's mouth, as if he was suddenly interested in the elephant herd described by Wendao. "Wen Dao, the creatures called 'elephants' inhabit your Nanzhan Prefecture, right?
Looking at the glittering light in Long Ji's eyes, Wen Dao instantly realized that even the most virtuous Long Ji had a woman's nature after all. The blood and tears of countless predecessors warn Wen Dao that he must not say the wrong thing at this time, especially when it comes to the major topic of racial categories.
"Uh, elephants, basically......" A chill came out of Wen Dao's back, racking his brains to search for words, and finally gave a very subjective description. "It's a huge, elegant creature. ”
"Graceful and gigantic creatures," the description seemed to satisfy Ryuhime, and her smile softened and she agreed with great interest. "Wendao, when we visit Boyi in Nanzhan Prefecture when we have time in the future, take me to see the elephants by the way. ”
“…… Respect the Imperial Command. ”
Wen Tao silently wrote down the precious agreement with Long Ji, but there was a little drum in his heart.
After all, the standard of what is "elegant" varies from person to person, just like in the eyes of the shovel officer, even if his own meow master yawns, it is a cute picture against the sky. If the dragon's aesthetic is far from that of a mortal, then in the worst-case scenario, he will have to face the end of bearing the wrath of the dragon queen.
"It's been a pleasure chatting with you, Wendao. ”
Ryuhime was in high spirits. Although there was a little bit of mustard before, but for Yan Sui, who is known as "Sage Ji", it is quite rare to meet such an intellectually compatible chat partner. Long Ji raised her head with some unfinished thoughts, and motioned for Wen Dao to look at the blue-white planet that appeared directly in front of the sky.
"Ah, it's almost there, that's Baixia Palace...... Huh?"
