5. Foothold Chapter 221: The Dragon's Might—Chapter 222: The Kindness of the Goddess of Agriculture

"Now that the fish-man tribe has been wiped out, I don't know if you can take me to the island to have a look, in case there are fish that slip through the net, I can also help Layton Harbor to remove the hidden danger, and I will not come to support it on the orders of His Majesty the King!"

Count Leighton didn't know what the Golden Archmage had in mind, but they couldn't refuse to agree to Gold's reasonable request, and they all wanted to see what the Fish-Man Islands had become now, so they all looked at Donald.

Now that the Emerald Dream Islands are dominated by the Sea Lord and legendary dragon of Nozdorm, Donald doesn't have much fun with this guy, so he nodded in agreement.

Because of the large number of people, it would take two hours to arrive if the ship was made, so Donald dispatched three alchemy airships to carry everyone to the Emerald Dream Realm.

For the alchemy airship, a alchemy-driven flying tool, the mages of the Mage Association led by Gold did not have much interest. Because the Mage Guild also has such flying tools, and it is a large alchemy device, driving the elemental crystals that require huā fee once like flowing water, unless it is a last resort, they will not use that big thing.

These mages obviously also regard Donald's alchemy airship as such a huge alchemy device, but they don't know that these three airships take off all by physical airbags, and they don't consume anything, and they can also use sail assistance, and flying a hundred kilometers only consumes the energy of a low-level elemental spar. Of course, the load capacity cannot be compared with that of large flying devices, and there is no offensive and defensive ability.

There was nothing to say all the way, and when they arrived in the sky above the Emerald Dream Islands, everyone on the deck couldn't help but look at the dreamlike island community between the blue sea and blue sky below. Especially those Layton Harbor nobles who don't have much family territory, they can't wait for this territory to belong to themselves!

When Gold saw the beech trees in this archipelago, he also regretted and hated in his heart, but now regret is useless, how to find a way to reap some benefits is the right thing.

The group landed on the main island, and the nobles of Leighton Harbor got off the airship and curiously observed the environment on the island to see if it was suitable for developing the territory.

When he returned to Layton Harbor earlier, Donald ordered the dragons and dragons who were temporarily perched on the city to fly to Emerald Dreams and officially take root on the island under the arrangement of Nozdorm.

At this time, I saw Donald coming back from afar, and they all flew over excitedly, and surrounded Donald affectionately.

"It's a dragon!"

The mages of several mage guilds, including Golden Archmage Gold, were all shocked with straight eyes.

Gold, in particular, saw these bronze dragons, and his eyes lit up with fiery greed.

Seeing that the young dragons in front of him were all young dragons that had not grown up, and the strongest were only two young dragons, Gold's heart suddenly had an idea.

He didn't think that this young mage would have the strength to subdue an adult dragon with only golden strength. As for how these young dragons were subdued by the other party, Gold, whose brain was already filled with greed, subconsciously ignored this and did not think about the reason.

"Buy a dragon?"

When Gold smiled and revealed that he was going to buy a few baby dragons from Donald on behalf of the Mage Guild, Donald couldn't help but feel the guy's wishful thinking.

I saw him laugh and make no reply.

Anyway, the Mage Guild doesn't care if it's already offended once.

According to Ferdinand's mother, Lady Edwina, there is a suppression on the part of the royal family, and the Mage Guild will not dare to act rashly until His Majesty the King has not fallen. Moreover, he has seen the demeanor of a powerful existence like the goddess of agriculture, and a few golden mages don't care about it, not to mention that he has even offended a terrible demon god like the Spider Queen, and he doesn't have to worry about lice and debts. Especially with the legendary dragon of Nozdorm, to be honest, even if the Mage Guild has five golden giants, he really doesn't care much now.

Seeing that the other party ignored his identity as an archmage and the name of the mage association, Gold was angry, but there was no way, although this kid was only a silver mage, but he always gave himself a sense of danger, and he was not afraid of his own spiritual oppression, otherwise he could overwhelm the other party with his strength.

For the first time, Gold felt that the identity of the Golden Archmage was not omnipotent, and he had been constrained at every turn since he came to Layton Harbor.

Just when Gold was depressed, he heard an angry roar from the direction of the center of the island.

"Who would dare to fight the idea of a descendant of the Great Bronze Dragon?"

With the roar came an overwhelming coercion, which even Gold, the golden archmage, could not resist.

"Not good!"

Gold shouted in his heart that it was not good, he was not a fool, and it was obvious that this posture was a small idea that provoked the old one.

I saw a bronze dragon with a length of at least fifty feet or more flying over, its wings brought up a strong wind pressure, and a pair of dragon eyes the size of copper bells glared at the crowd present.

A dragon of the legendary realm?

That coercion was obviously beyond the boundaries of the Golden Rank, and Gold and the other mages felt terrified at that time, and their hands and feet couldn't help but tremble slightly.

And except for the three Donald's master and servant, although they knew that the dragon would not hurt them, they could not help but lose their faces.

Gold knew that an existence like this was not something he could compete with at all, let alone him, even if all the strength of their Mage Guild together was not the opponent of a legendary dragon dragon.

He was about to open his mouth to explain, but he saw the mage beckoning and said, "Nozdorm, don't frighten the guests, we should be polite!"

"Yes, master!"

Donald said lightly, and saw the Bronze Dragon King squatting there obediently like a child who had made a mistake, and the Mage Guild and others who saw this scene couldn't help but take a big breath.

The dragon of the legendary realm was actually subdued by this young mage?What kind of character is he, is he the heir of a true god?

Donald ignored their surprise and fear, and stepped forward to introduce the scales of the bronze dragon.

"I forgot to tell you, this is the Bronze Dragon King Nozdorm, you can also call him the King of Eternity, and Nozdorm has now become the sea lord of Falling Star Bay, and the sea area where Layton Harbor is located is under his rule, so you don't have to worry about disasters such as sea beast attacks and storms in the future!"

"Really?" "Great...... "Earl of Layton and other nobles of Layton Harbor were overjoyed when they heard this, with a sea lord on the side of the human race to take care of, there would be basically no danger in the future sailing near the sea unless they scuttled the ship by themselves. This is undoubtedly an extremely powerful help for the development of Layton Harbor.

The identity of Nozdorm was also used to declare ownership of the Emerald Dream Islands. Even if the kingdom refuses to recognize the identity of the Lord of the Emerald Dream Islands for some reason, it is estimated that no one will dare to seize this island under the legendary dragon!

The Mage Guild's side is now completely dead to the idea of fighting this offshore archipelago. There was a hint of fear in his eyes as he looked at the young mage.

However, if you return to the royal capital empty-handed, I am afraid that you will not be able to explain to the few people behind you, after all, you have already received a lot of benefits from others. After returning to Layton Harbor from the Emerald Dream, the Gold Archmage asked the Earl of Leighton if there were any other islands nearby besides the Emerald Dream.

The beast tide was repulsed, and the port of Layton was not damaged at all, so the plan to profit from the port of Layton went bankrupt before it could begin.

The Fish-Man Islands, which had retreated to the next place, were now occupied by legendary dragons, and naturally there was no hope.

So Gold hit the idea of other islands, even if the area is not large, the land is barren, and it is not suitable for development, and if you take it back, you can make an excuse to give an explanation to those people.

"Other islands?"

Earl Layton understood the golden archmage's thoughts as soon as he heard this, but now that there was a great god like Donald to rely on, he would not be as scruples about all forces as he had before, and he would reluctantly cede some benefits despite his reluctance.

So the lord of Layton Harbor thought about it and gave an answer.

"I remember that there is a large archipelago in the southern part of the bay, although the environment is a little worse, but the location is very good, just adjacent to the southern mainland from the shipping lane, if developed, it can become a large transit port. !”

Gold was overjoyed when he heard this, and after asking the direction of the island, he immediately took his subordinate mages to the place to survey the environment.

"What are you, Lord Earl?"

Donald was a little surprised by Earl Layton's concession, and seeing Donald's puzzlement, Earl Layton and other Layton port nobles immediately burst out laughing.

After listening to their explanation, Donald knew it in his heart.

It turned out that the Earl of Layton pointed out to those people was not as good as he described, but had another hidden meaning.

It was originally a reef island, and many years ago it was the most dangerous area on the cross-strait route between the northern and southern continents, and if one accidentally hit the reef, the ship would be destroyed and killed. In the past, only the most skilled sailors were able to avoid the reefs that were hidden underwater, and they had to gamble their luck to finally sail safely through this dangerous area.

It wasn't until more than a hundred years ago that the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture felt that it was very difficult for their clergy to travel between the two places and inevitably lost control of the diocese of Celt, so they dispatched a golden archbishop to use the power of the Church's holy weapons to destroy some of the submarine reefs that must pass through the route between the two places, opening up a relatively safe and wide route.

After that, it was much safer to sail from the southern continent to the coast of the Kingdom of Celt than before.

The archipelago that the Earl of Leighton had just pointed out was an island formed by a reef that had not been cleared because its proximity to the coast did not interfere with navigation when the shipping route was opened.

Although there is a relatively large island and the soil is fertile because of the seabirds, there are many reefs hidden in the sea around the island, which are not suitable for boating, so the development value is greatly reduced.

Unless he was willing to clear the reef, the Golden Archmage would be of little value even if he got this reef island.

The cost of clearing those underwater reefs is estimated to outweigh the benefits of developing the islands, so it is completely a territory that outweighs the losses.

Chapter 222 Shanlou of the Goddess of AgricultureAfter the Mage Association and others went to sea to explore the island, Leighton Harbor calmly and with busyness, began the construction of a new port and a defense belt.

This situation has not been affected by the arrival of the remaining reinforcements sent by the kingdom, these reinforcements rushed to Leighton Harbor by land are all military manpower, and there is no bad intentions for Leighton Harbor that the greedy mages of the Mage Association and the few nobles behind them. Or even if there were any plans, they were abandoned because the port of Layton was intact.

When there was calm on the side of Leighton Harbor, there was an undercurrent in the royal capital because of the news from Leighton Harbor.

How can you not be hated when the sea beast attacks the city that is rare in a century, and some people have made some calculations, but because Donald has intervened in it, it has been completely invalidated? Therefore, on the issue of the noble council's review of the ownership of the Emerald Dream Islands, these people have openly and secretly obstructed and made some tricks.

It's just that Donald thought carefully and arranged it properly, with the support of the countess with the help of the queen's power, His Majesty the king also expressed his approval, and the military also maintained a tacit attitude under the opinion of the Ansel family. No amount of obstruction could prevent Donald from taking ownership of the archipelago.

At the same time, the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture later made a statement in the temple of the royal capital, which also shocked all the large and small forces of the Celt, and soon spread throughout the kingdom to build momentum for Donald, the hero of the kingdom.

Lord Dalaran and the members of the Church have gone underground to eradicate the largest Dark Elven city in the Northern Dark Regions?

This attitude of the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture shows that they are supporting the local nobles of Lord Dalaran, which is very surprising to the royal family.

Fortunately, the Merlina family is also considered an old nobleman in the kingdom, and it is mainly based on the strength of mages, so it basically will not defect to any side of the Church of the Gods, so it does not cause the royal family to worry.

When the opposition forces saw that they could not do anything, they also stopped one after another. Although some offended Melina, the celebrity of the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture, and the new forces that rose in the kingdom, it was just a simple conflict of interests, but there was no deep hatred that could not be resolved, so those forces were not worried that the other party would retaliate. This is also an ancient practice that has been maintained for many years by the upper nobility of mankind.

Within three days, the envoys sent by the royal capital had arrived at the port of Leighton, accompanied by Countess Catherine, who had returned to join Donald, and a member of the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture.

This is none other than the middle-aged priest Todd who had gone to the Dark Regions with him before.

After the ceremony, Thord's old acquaintance talks to Donald about what happened after they left.

It turned out that this young mage who had completed the last mission very well and was familiar with the goddess's favor, was ordered to stay in the temple of the king of Celt and be responsible for communicating with Donald, the mage lord.

This time, the goddess of agriculture issued an oracle to the Kosovo Shrine Dagui, which greatly changed the attitude of the church towards Dalaran and his lords. As for the content of the oracle, it was naturally handed over to Thord, an acquaintance, to convey to the young man who was favored by the goddess, Donald.

"My lord's oracle, let His Excellency the Baron do it, the ownership of Falling Star Bay is not a problem. After hearing this, Donald knew the hidden meaning of this sentence, as if he had taken a reassuring pill, knowing that his previous speculation had come true, and now there would be no more forces from the Church of the Gods who would plot for the benefit of the Emerald Dream Islands.

At this moment, the question of the ownership of the Jade Dream is a certainty, and basically there will be no more changes.

Donald was relieved to start transporting manpower through the alchemy airship, buying supplies locally in Layton Harbor, and hiring professionals to start building on the island.

First of all, there are thirteen large islands, and the main island only plans to build a large manor belonging to his lord on the main island, except for the temple of Nozdorm, and as for the buildings of other populations, Donald has no intention of recruiting islanders for the time being, so he can only talk about it in the future.

The other twelve large islands, Donald, have no plans to change them for the time being, and are ready to let them continue to maintain their original natural appearance and add scenery to the Emerald Dream Islands.

Instead, a dockyard was set up on the shore of the main island and on the nearest bare island, where passing ships could be kept.

He also exchanged a few transport ships to transport construction personnel and materials, because it was only a hundred miles from Leighton Harbor, and it was relatively convenient to travel to and from the port, and the transport ships were enough to sail inshore. If you want to go on an ocean voyage in the future, you can also order a large ship from Leighton Harbor.

As for the attitude of the goddess, Donald had long thought of swearing to a true god that if the true god did not have sense, he would not be a true god, but he did not expect that His Highness would care so much about himself, and he actually sent an oracle to take care of himself, did she find something?

Donald can be sure that his greatest secret book of truth is well hidden, unless it comes out on its own, otherwise as long as he does not face the existence of the level of the true god incarnation, it will basically not be discovered.

"Now the statement of the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture is equivalent to justifying the power I have developed in Falling Star Bay, and it is a pawn planted by the Goddess of Agriculture to fight against the Alliance of the Sea Lords, so that the forces of the other Church of the Gods will not interfere, after all, they have no power at all in Kharte. ”

"I believe that except for the sea god, most of the true gods of mankind should be happy to see their own rise. Of course, these are all conclusions that Donald has drawn based on a lot of information, and in fact it should be about the same.

Although the gods are high, some human beings are still exempt from some of their habits and habits. After all, they are all human gods, not those ancient gods or non-human gods.

Before, Donald thought that the sea lord benthic demon fish that these fishmen believed in was a false god, that is, the kind of false god that the Church of the Gods of the Continent said had not reached the demigod level, but had used some means to develop believers to collect faith.

These false gods who steal faith are like thieves and rats to the gods, and once they are discovered, everyone shouts and beats them. Therefore, those false gods generally go to a remote place to spread their beliefs, and even simply gather some alien races of humanoid intelligence races as believers to secretly develop their power to avoid the attack of the Church of Gods.

Strictly speaking, Donald, who has the blood of a god, is actually a false god, but he is shielded by the Book of Truth, and those acts of absorbing faith will not be expressed, plus he lives in the Northland kingdom of Selt, where the Church of the Gods is the weakest, so basically no one can find out.

Even if he was a doppelganger of several true gods last time, when he saw Donald, he just thought that he was a mortal with the blood of a god, you must know that once the false god takes the initiative to absorb faith and strengthen the god, then it is easy to be seen, and Donald relies on the statue and the Book of Truth to complete the process, so he has no such concerns at all.

But now that I know that the Lord of the Sea is not a false god at all, but a land recognized by the will and laws of the Lord World, so that Nozdom will not have the power of the Church of the Gods to oppose the establishment of the ownership of the Sea of Falling Star Bay, the only thing to consider is that the Church of the God of the Sea may have some opinions, but Nozdom is his subordinate, which is equivalent to being classified into the human camp, and the God of the Sea wants to seize the authority of the Falling Star Bay and strengthen his own strength, even if it is infighting, so he can only give up looking for the existence of those non-human camps as the next goal。

Otherwise, this kind of infighting should not be allowed by the gods who are desperately hoping to expand the power of the human god system, not to mention that this place is separated from the southern part of the continent where Sauron is located, the Storm Sea and the Inner Sea, which are one south and one north, are separated by thousands of miles, even if the power of the Poseidon Church wants to infiltrate, it is estimated that it will take a lot of time to come and go, and when they come, their own strength will grow a lot.

(To be continued!)
