Unlike other races, the dragons controlled the flames in advance, so they directly crossed the barter stage, and they directly entered the era of precious metal currency economy, completely ahead of other species.

The reason why the dragons are so obsessed with gold and silver is largely because the temperature of the dragon flame was very low at first, far less than the melting point of iron (1538 degrees Celsius), but the melting point of gold (1063 degrees Celsius) and silver (961.93 degrees Celsius) in nature are sufficient.

Wealth circulation, merchants, craftsmen, and this kind of division of labor began to appear between clans one after another, until a long time in the future, the dragon clan did not give birth to peasant units, they actually directly entered the stage of nomadic herders, stepping on the road of the classical commercial kingdom.

There is nothing to tell about the rest of the story, the innate advantages and environmental factors of the dragons made them keen to fight everywhere, collect wealth, and promote the circulation of commerce after solving the problem of food and clothing. ，

However, after the surplus of wealth, the gap between the rich and the poor also began to appear, although in the beginning, most of the dragons enjoyed an equal division of labor, but along with the war, there will always be disabled, stupid, and demented dragons.

In order to survive, some dragons are willing to sell their dragon body rights and become slaves, and the continuous conquest has also made other alien races become lower-level slaves and become vassals of the dragons, including some species that are good at farming and management.

The advent of slavery collapsed the primitive order.

The war brought about the fall of a number of male dragons, forcing the surviving male dragons to be eager to pass on their wealth to their descendants, so they began to find permanent mates on their own, rather than maintaining the system of succession between uncle and nephew.

The matriarchal society then collapsed, the dragon mother abdicated, and the male dragon king appeared on the stage of history, in order to maintain his rule and let the bloodline pass on safely, the dragon king needed to hold the wealth and force of the dragon clan to cooperate with him, and began to canonize them as nobles, and could obtain some privileges - such as serving as soldiers, obtaining fiefs, and inheriting titles.

So, what is the most expensive thing in the dragon values?

Gold and silver.

This is why, in the system of the dragon family, the golden dragon and the silver dragon are absolute nobles. Their ancestors have maintained their status as armed nobility since they were canonized, and they continue to this day.

The more their wealth grew, the more they could not get rid of their dependence on precious metals, and their strong bodies and excellent metallurgical craftsmanship allowed them to conquer a large amount of land, and the resources were endless, and the slaves worked hard to liberate their people.

At this point, their society is not just based on the pursuit of survival, money, and value, but they are pursuing more advanced gadgets - such as music, fire art, dance, hallucinogenic herbs.

As long as people with a little bit of historical view see the above things, they should know what they have come up with.

That's right, religion.

It stands to reason that when the historical view reaches this point, there is no need to read the rest of the story, and all civilizations are similar.

It was nothing more than the formation of primitive cults, the promotion of astronomical divination technology, and then the reverse use of astronomy to nautical science (aeronautics for the dragons), followed by the rise of the church system, the transition from polytheism to monotheism, the land under theocracy, pooled into the hands of the church, and the monarch was dissatisfied and began to reform the system.

Feudalization, Divine Authority, Reformation, Evolution, Big Bang, Industrial Revolution, Capitalism, Plutocratic States, Cosmosization of Capital, Global Enterprises – Narrative No. 11 "United Groups"!

This is something that anyone can find, the history of the rise of the dragon clan, under the normal view of history, everyone will believe that this is determined by the environment, only the dragon civilization can give birth to this possibility, and no other civilization can copy it.

Because of this, the narrative of Narrative No. 11, "United Group", is a narrative that belongs only to the dragon civilization and their vassals, and environmental determinism has effectively shattered the existence of racial superiority, allowing the mainstream narrative to speak of the superiority of the narrative from the perspective of transcending race.

But Magic, Dragons and Mithril takes environmental determinism a step further and considers the grand narrative from a different perspective.

"Although the dragons' narrative is rightfully shaped like this

It became, but as they developed, another problem arose."

That's Spitfire.

The emergence of the fire-breathing ability liberated the brains of the dragons, but it also limited the dragons' bodies to develop in the direction of supernatural species, so that the dragons had to choose to gradually increase their size and accommodate more energy. The body is getting bigger and bigger, so that the dragons cannot make exquisite instruments themselves, and can only make other races work for themselves through the means of employment and enslavement.

Because of this, the dragons have embarked on a strange path - instead of developing technology, they are constantly reinventing their language, and through the amplification of language, they attract the energy of the universe and embark on the path of magic.

But what if there are planets that don't have magical torrents? Then the large amount of energy consumed by the fire-breathing will be gradually degraded, and the size of the dragons will gradually shrink, and a certain subspecies of dragons will become rodents the size of mice, and then gradually evolve into arboreal animals, with extended limbs...... Finally, get down from the tree and land on the ground.

On the contrary, it will block the space for the development of dragon civilization and make the narrative an unattainable phantom.

Throughout history, it will be found that such problems have repeatedly appeared in the development of the dragon civilization.

What if instead of gold and silver, the dragons found tungsten that was far from melting? Then their mode of warfare will not undergo a qualitative change, metallurgy will not come, and they will not step into the era of precious metal money.

What if dragons live on a planet where dragons are only intelligent species like dragons? Dragons will always be flying nomads, because they can't even farm, maintain a stable territory, and deal with severe natural disasters.

What if the dragons didn't choose to work together and survive alone? Then dragons are just strong and intelligent beasts, just like monsters in fairy tales.

Even more tragic, if there is an asteroid impact or something like that, dragons will be completely destroyed by animals with a high food chain, and future generations may question that "dragons don't exist".

This is the difference between the book Magic, Dragons, and Mithril and regular history books.

"The book's view is that the universe is chaotic, there is never any determinism, and the essence of grand narratives is a statistical miracle piled up by chance."

Li Oz muttered:

"Remove any of these factors, and the entire dragon civilization will collapse in an instant. Their existence is actually very fragile, and they can't withstand the toss of any wrong node, in the evolution of millions of years, there are far more losers than winners, and if the dragons succeed in surviving, their experience will definitely be replicated, but be careful where they have no setbacks."

Any sophisticated system is.

In the real Star Abyss, in fact, those top overlords, it is not that they have won all this, but that they have not lost for the time being.

If they exist for trillions of years, they just haven't had that crisis.

In the final analysis, it is a sentence: the essence of all civilizations is a grass platform.
