Chapter 97
Claudius was poor, a real poor ghost reincarnation—what Pheren called soul stealing. When he was awakened in adulthood www.biquge.info Minerva counted her Führer's personal property and reported it to Claudius, "Five gold coins and thirty-seven silver coins, without copper coins...... Is this all I have? It's so poor! "Any dragon, even if he is the golden dragon of metal dragons, would have gone crazy at this time, but Claudius did not go crazy, he just spoke out about his poverty. The next moment he saw Minerva's report, which was a report for the entire municipality, including the price of food in the market. Claudius glanced at the prices of flour, honey, salt, olive oil, beef, and so on, and then said to himself: "I feel much better at reading this!" I could buy at least five cows!! To be honest, it's the first time I've been a smart creature in two lifetimes, I'm so rich! "Because of the development of agriculture and animal husbandry on the island of Hell, the cattle, sheep and pigs they raised were kept in pens and fodder, so they tasted really good - especially since at the behest of Claudius, except for the breeding animals, were castrated at birth, so that the meat was abundant and good.
Therefore, Claudius, who was on the ship preparing to sail to the continent of Ferron, had only five gold coins and thirty-seven silver coins in his space bag - all his belongings, Minerva was a rather strict municipal governor, and he divided private property from public property very lightly, even her head Red Dragon could not reach into the city treasury at will. For any other dragon, it is estimated that Minerva would have been removed from his post by now, but Claudius only grabbed the hair of the humanoid form, and then calculated how much food he could buy with the money and how many days he would stay in the inn, and then shrugged his shoulders and obediently got on the boat and left.
Both the Red Dragon and Minerva issued their own decrees, all of which were issued in the name of the Red Dragon, including strict protection of private property and the suppression of claws in the treasury, which of course was written by Minerva, but was also approved by the Red Dragon. At the same time, the city finally received its name before the red dragon left, and Claudius stood in front of his throne in the center of the temple and announced, "From this day on, this city will be called Rome!" The Eternal City, Rome! Hahahaha. Minerva did not say a word to the Führer's mocking laughter, but instead wrote the name of Rome on parchment in the lingua franca of Feron and the dragon language, and instructed the mushroom men, goblins, and slaves to quickly engrave the name of Rome in every part of the city, and at the same time began to forge the coat of arms of the Roman town hall.
It was a galleys weighing about seventy tons, one of the growing number of merchant ships that traveled between Ferren and the island of Hell, now called the island of Rome. These merchant ships purchased a large amount of Roman grain and ale, mead, distilled spirits, wine, as well as a wide variety of metal ingots and volcanic gems and sulfur, and the raw materials of magic were also a considerable source here, and Rome was also in great demand for the goods of Feren, especially all kinds of leather and pottery, as well as a large number of alchemical products, so the sea caravans were increasing during this time. Due to Rome's free trade, low percentage of commercial taxes, and almost no corruption, commerce flourished in the city.
This kind of development has caused those traditional people on the continent of Faren to focus their attention on this nascent trading city. Pirates began to roam the Ferron-Rome route, but their raids were struck by Obosinen, the sea dragon who had received orders from Claudius. The sea dragon, which had grown to nearly twenty meters long, sank one pirate ship after another in the sea, sometimes even causing Obersinen's men, the sharkmen who loyally believed in him, to raid the hapless pirates, and on the day Claudius boarded the ship, Obersien had just ransacked a pirate den near the city of Maitrama with his sharkmen, and sent all the pirates there to their goddess Ambori - for which Ambori presumably had to record Claudius again. However, since the founding of Rome, Claudius had already destroyed several pirate forces that believed in Ambori, and even sailors and merchants who went to sea had a safe shipping route and at the same time had a considerable reduction in Ambori's worship. This is basically a grave blasphemy for gods like the Storm Gods, who basically rely on violent natural disasters to intimidate believers into gaining faith. Except, of course, their leader, Talos, whose priesthood is primarily a natural disaster rather than a man-made disaster, and he spends all the time on the authority of his gods, thinking that one day he will swallow them......
Claudius didn't care what the merchant ship was called, in fact he basically didn't remember the ship called the Turtle. Anyway, the whole route only takes two days and one night to complete, so why bother to remember this ship? Now Claudius is sitting in the stern of the boat, admiring the sea from a very different perspective than when he was a red dragon. The rough sea caused the whole ship to sway up and down in a swaying rhythm, and the red dragon did not get seasick, and he watched the sailors run around adjusting the sails, and drank a jug of wine without a sip. In the distance, a spiny ridge appeared on the sea, and the sea dragon Obosin approached the galley, but the sailors did not notice the sea dragon diving under the surface. Due to the frequent sorties of the sea dragons, the sea monsters in the channel have long been far away, the sea dragon swam around the turtle three times to greet Claudius, the red dragon nodded, the sea dragon saw the red dragon's movements underwater and swung his tail towards his lair on the island of Rome.
The sea road is very calm, not to mention pirates, even Naga or the fish-man have not met one, Claudius has no intention of letting the sea dragon release some rare pirates over, and then let himself slap his face to perform, although the gods should have difficulty determining the specific whereabouts of the red dragon, but the red dragon does not want to make any moves to attract the attention of those guys - although sooner or later, his whereabouts will definitely be exposed, but there is no need to expose it in the first place, right? The destination of the ships was the port city of Zazesbo, which also began to prosper thanks to trade with Rome, and of course the underground powers, a by-product of prosperity, also grew enormously.
On the morning of the third day, the Turtle, which had waited all night outside the harbor to enter the harbor safely, dropped off its passengers—many people had taken the ship to Rome, but not too many had left Rome, and Claudius stepped on the surface of Ferren. Behind him, the Turtle was hastily unloading its cargo from the hold, as it quickly replenished its fresh water and food, another shipment, and many of the people who had paid for the ship, including but not limited to humans, who were anxiously waiting to get on board. Rome never restricts the types of creatures or factions it wants, as long as it obeys the government's orders.....
