CHAPTER XLIV
Historically, Liu Bei was displaced in the first half of his life, which is definitely not that he can't fight, nor that he is honest and ignorant of strategy, but that he lacks talents who know how to govern the country and can help the rapid development of his governance, and also lacks talents who have enough foresight to point out the long-term development direction for him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhuge Liang is such a talent, and he has both. Therefore, after Liu Bei got the help of Zhuge Liang, his career finally became regular, and he seized the opportunity of Cao Cao's southern expedition to turn over in one fell swoop. and then entered the Shu land, with the identity of a worthless "former Han distant clansman", he surpassed countless nobles and became one of the heroes of the world.
Sui Xiong didn't dare to compare himself to Liu Bei, but he felt that he could fight in terms of force, at least he was not a fool in terms of intelligence, but after crossing into this world for so many years, he was always a little confused, he didn't know what the future was, and he didn't know what to do.
It wasn't until today, when he met Xuehua, a far-sighted dragon strategist, that he was explained in a unique way with pictures and texts, that he felt that the fog that had been clouded in front of him had dissipated, and the path of life became clear.
So for Xuehua, he is indeed very admirer and respectful. Especially the other party is a painting lover like him, which makes him feel like a confidant.
In the game's parlance, Ms. Snowflake suddenly gained a "respectful" reputation from him, and her favorability soared to at least seventy or more.
But he is still a little curious: he does not seem to be a natural hero, and everyone immediately bows down as soon as he is overbearing, nor does he have a high wealth and status, worthy of the allegiance of others; if you want to say that there is a bottomless potential, maybe there is, but the reality is not a novel, who would be his subordinate because a poor ghost has great potential!
So, why did Xuehua take a fancy to herself and be willing to be her counselor?
"The reason is simple. The ice dragon, who looked harmless to humans and animals, said with a smile, "As a dragon clan whose specialty is the direction of ice, in addition to the dragon gods of my own clan, isn't the most suitable partner the ice god?"
"Don't look at me, I seem to have some ability, but I am nothing in front of your majesty, and the difference in personality makes me not qualified to communicate with them on an equal footing, let alone cooperate. ”
The cold air around her turned into a transparent ice blackboard, on which the white frost drew a small dragon with its head raised and chest up, as if it wanted to make a big difference, but in front of several dragons surrounded by halos, sweating profusely, bowing down in front of them, lying on it like a puppy.
"There are three gods whose main direction is cold, ice and snow, and so on, one is a madman, the other is a madman, and the last one is a madman, nothing more than a strong madman, a weak madman, and an even weaker madman. I'm not a madman, I don't really have a common language with a madman, and I certainly can't talk about cooperation. ”
On the blackboard, three humanoids with ice and snow in their lower bodies are spraying storms everywhere, constantly fighting each other, and the meaning of madness is clearly visible. The little dragon looked at them from a distance, a huge bead of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he helplessly put his hand on his forehead and sighed.
Sui Xiong knew who she was talking about: the goddess of the Northland Snow Fields and the Blizzard, alias the "Empress of the North", the god of snowy mountains, avalanches and snow monsters, alias the "Master of the Snow Mountain", and the god of glaciers and ice giants, alias "Lord of Ice". These three gods joined forces with the goddess of winter and the north wind, the "Chilling Maiden", and the god of snowy beasts, the "Ice Overlord", to form a god system known as the "Extreme Cold Alliance". A group of madmen who are not only evil but also confused, who never play according to the rules of the cards, and who do things without the slightest logic at all, not only make the horror level several times greater, but also make all the people who live in the Northland and need to go to the northern ice fields smell it, but also give the gods in the Northland, led by the barbarian patron god "Elder Bear".
In fact, the elimination rate of the gods of the Northland is extremely high, and every thousand and eight hundred years, a god is killed by the madmen of the Extreme Cold Alliance. If it weren't for the fact that these madmen couldn't occupy the priesthood of those good or orderly directions, the entire Northland would have been completely monopolized by them.
Even so, the other gods of the Northland still need to be on guard at all times, and if this group of madmen shows signs of attacking, they will flee immediately, lest they become the next victims.
When Sui Xiong read the information given by the God of Redemption before, when he saw this paragraph, he thought at that time that if he wanted to become a god, he would obviously have the "cold ice" priesthood, but he was afraid that he would become a thorn in the side of the Extreme Cold Alliance. At that time, in order not to be besieged and fallen, I am afraid that I will have to find more helpers and have a fight with this group of madmen.
"Your Majesty can't cooperate, and neither can the gods of ice and cold, so when I meet a god with the power of ice, and the rarest thing is actually a good and non-chaotic faction, of course, I immediately think of cooperating with him. Xuehua took it for granted.
"Maybe when I'm old and dying, I'll still choose to go to the kingdom of the dragon gods, but at least until then, the dragons who use the power of ice and the gods who control the power of ice...... I think we'll be natural friends. ”
On the blackboard, Xiaolong met a big jellyfish surrounded by a cold wind, but smiled very kindly, and immediately jumped up happily, and the two "people" went to play hand in hand.
Sui Xiong smiled, and the floating jellyfish stretched out his ice palms and shook hands with the giant dragon that had transformed into a human.
"You're right, I wish us a happy cooperation!"
"There is no need to say this, and we will definitely have a good time working together. ”
...... Having said that, the substantive cooperation between the two sides has not yet been able to take place.
On Sui Xiong's side, he needs to wait for Rhodes' recruitment work to come to an end before he can count how many pioneers have been recruited in total and how big a village needs to be opened. Then Rhodes needs to continue to prepare supplies, and Gerald is responsible for escorting these pioneers north, beyond the town of Dragonroar, and further north, to the cold areas where ordinary people cannot live, and build homes under the protection of Sui Xiong.
On Snowflake's side, she had sent Frost and Hail to the cold region north of the Ash Forest to find a suitable place to reclaim the wasteland. This place not only needs to be open and suitable for the construction of villages and towns, but also needs to have a suitable water source, and there must be a good rocky mountain and some minerals nearby...... In general, it is very demanding, and if you can't find a good location, it will not only be doubly time-consuming and laborious, but it will also become very difficult to build a large village.
Sui Xiong could help the pioneers keep out the cold, but he couldn't help them farm the land, make drinking water in the barren land, provide rocks for construction, and provide money-making products. All of this comes from the gift of nature.
Both Frost and Hail expressed their dissatisfaction with the task, Frost didn't want to help because he didn't like Sui Xiong, and Hail couldn't sleep in the bed in the basement when he went out. But under the authority of their sister Xuehua, the young Yanlong brothers and sisters still reluctantly went out and looked for a suitable reclamation site.
"Is it okay to let two children of this young age go out?" Sui Xiong asked with some concern.
Although they are actually all giant dragons, and their combat power is not weak, but in this world where the strong are like forests, the two young ordinary dragons are not particularly powerful masters. For example, Gerald, it may be difficult to fight one against two, and if one fights, the brother and sister can only choose between escaping and dying in battle, and they don't even think about the chance of dying.
And compared to their slightly weaker force, the huge value of the dragon itself has become a great threat. This is like a proverb on the earth, what will happen if a child walks alone in the downtown with a precious treasure in his hand?
"You're worrying too much. Xuehua didn't think so about Sui Xiong's worries, she drew two majestic dragons on the ice blackboard that punched the wolf and kicked the skeleton, and said with a smile, "Our dragon clan was originally meant to grow up in danger and hardship. Due to the lack of products, there are not many monsters and adventurers in the Ash Forest, so it is already a very safe place to practice. As long as they don't get dazed and cross the barren mountains, they won't encounter much danger. ”
"But you, Your Majesty the Great Void Mask, have you forgotten something?"
"What's the matter?" Sui Xiong was stunned and asked.
"To build a territory, financial and material resources are indispensable, we have no shortage of money, materials can be purchased, and manpower is not a problem - but a territory needs at least a group of officials to manage it, and your church needs a group of clergy. As a deity, are you going to stay at home and wait for them to fall from the sky?"
On the ice blackboard, the corners of the mouth of the fat jellyfish that are sleeping float bubbles symbolizing sleep, and the tentacles open to form a large net, waiting for gold coins, supplies and human hands to fall from the sky. That hopelessly lazy appearance made Sui Xiong cry and laugh.
He understands that Snowflake is well-intentioned and reminds him that it is time to go out and find talent. But this way of reminding is really ......
Looking at the fat jellyfish on the ice blackboard, which was as fat as a pig, he really didn't know whether to laugh or get angry.
The character of this ice dragon is not at all like the legendary arrogant, indifferent and unapproachable "Ice Dragon"!
Is the legend mistaken by false rumors, or is this Snowflake an anomaly?
Sui Xiong felt that when he had free time, he should study biology hard, at least master the "dragon biology" proficiently.
Of course, that's all in the future. Before that, he needed to build the Holy Land well, successfully become a god, and stabilize his faith. After everything is arranged, there is time to learn this knowledge that is not urgent.
And among all the work, the most urgent is to collect talents, talents who can govern the territory.
Fortunately, this one has a suitable target, and there is no need to run around the world like a headless fly, looking for it randomly.
A few days later, Sui Xiong split into a planktonic jellyfish clone and headed south alone without any of his followers.
His target is the "Secret Tower Federation", a magical country located in the southernmost part of the continent, where the acquaintance recommended by Satan, the knight of Pahn, who was born into a declining aristocracy and has a lot of experience in governing territory, lives.
