Chapter 450: Dragon Knight and Her Mount (7200 in one)
Taiman Islands, International Port.
Merchant ships, warships, privateers, and other sailing ships of all kinds shuttled back and forth, and the endless white sails connected to the sky, which was even more lively than it was a month ago.
In order to welcome the return of Governor Byron, all departments in the Governor's Palace have been compiling monthly reports for nearly a month.
A group of civilian administrative officials in the territory are not as good as those cronies and military attachés, and they can often serve by Byron's side, and of course they can't let go of an opportunity to brush their faces.
All of them are full of energy.
A particularly important achievement is to directly consult the [Mithril Dragon] Catherine, who is becoming more and more like a master mother.
Anyway, no matter which branch of Byron's top level is, no one has ever suspected that there will be an accident in this marriage.
Even the Azkh Emperor Cortés, the Conqueror, and the King of Chichen Itza, Geronimo, personally rushed to Tajapan, the capital of the Golden Empire, to report to Catherine's legal projection:
"Your Majesty, the war for unification within the borders of the Azik and Taya empires has completely ended two days ago, and the last city-state has been taken.
The two empires combined with 500 city-states, 13 million people, and many guardian spirits were all surrendered.
And according to your instructions, we have set up three administrative divisions under the royal capital Tayapan: state, city, and town.
Divided the entire empire into thirty-one states.
Administrative and administrative officials at all levels were also put in place in batches, and a unified administrative system and legal system that prevailed in the city-states were implemented from scratch.
However, it takes a long time to count household funds, measure land, and register household registration, and the first national census will not be available until the end of this year.
In addition, the total number of guardian spirits in each city-state exceeded 500, and all of them joined the [Golden Law] system.
It has united a larger number of natural spirits, focusing on stabilizing the nodes of the law, sorting out the power of the heart, and suppressing the forbidden secret realms in various places.
His Majesty, Lord of Heaven, has also become the only official religion in the Golden Empire.
We are confident that it will take at most a generation to unite the Taítans under the tribal system of the city-state with a unified faith. ”
Catherine, who looked like an indigenous, nodded with satisfaction:
"Yes, our [Lord of Heaven] His Majesty has said that it is difficult to build an empire, and it is even more difficult to sit on the throne.
It is our main task to select school-age teenagers and young people from each city-state to send them to schools and cultivate future backbones.
Sooner or later, Lancaster Party officials will return to the Hattings, and the future of the Taínos will ultimately be left to their own devices.
Believe in yourself, the farming people have a unique advantage in this regard. ”
The brutal rule of the Castilians here in the past has sparked hostility and hatred among the Taínos.
The Lord of Heaven is different, he is actively welcomed into the entire empire's ruling system by believers from all over the world.
The smallpox plague saved most people's lives, a series of great inventions in the agricultural industry, and the tradition of being "his own god" made him feel reminiscent from the beginning.
The 13 million Tylentans representing "change" are Byron's greatest wealth in the material world and on the transcendent path.
When the Divine Gold Empire, an empire of industrial capital, thrives on the remains of an ancient civilization in the Neolithic Age, it will definitely not be a problem to support four or five kings, or even higher-level [demigods].
Jerónimo then gave her the good news:
"Your Majesty, there is one more great event.
Since His Majesty the Lord of Heaven opened the anchoring authority of the Golden Law, the first fourth-order mythical creature to be successfully promoted has just been born. ”
Catherine's face was suddenly happy, and while reading the information through the legal network, she did not forget to take the initiative to ask:
"Who is it?"
Geronimo's face was full of pride, and his tone was uplifting:
"It's Sivatel, the great shaman of Uxmal City, who has gained enough anchorage as a diocesan [bishop].
When the promotion ceremony was held some time ago, I personally served as her bodyguard.
Now that the ritual has been completed, there is only about a month of dormancy left before it can completely transform into a mythical creature [Mountain Demon Bear].
After the news spread, the whole empire was boiling, and the beast spirit warriors all praised His Majesty's benevolence.
Your Majesty is here, and our spring is coming! ”
Catherine consulted the records through the Law Network and found that the good news had begun to spread like the wind, stirring up a thousand waves with one stone.
There was a shocking storm among the beast spirit warriors in the middle sequence.
In the past, because of insufficient anchoring, the fourth order was a threshold of life and death, and after promotion, it was often not a transformation into a mythical creature, but a one-step degeneration into the grotesque combination of man and beast.
After Byron's arrival, he not only opened a channel for the people at the bottom to rise, but also had the ability to make meritorious achievements.
It also sacrificed the anchor quota of the [Golden Law], a great killing weapon that allowed many middle-order transcendents to go further.
As more and more believers returned to the unification of the empire, the golden law built around the Golden Triangle, thirteen crystal skulls, and a group of god-only guardian spirits has become more and more solid.
In addition to the seventeen [Right Hand of the King] names, many middle- and lower-level official positions were also enough to provide a two-legged possibility for those third-order transcendents who had reached a critical point but did not dare to be promoted.
These posts are divided into three routes: the administrative route, the military route, and the clergy route.
Compared with the glory ladder of the Old Continent, there is also the Book of the Hundred Beasts and Clans (Volume II) of the Southern Continent, and this anchoring method is obviously more closely related to the country.
The interests of the state are the interests of individuals, and they do not worry about not working hard.
Byron's own rank would allow the Native Transcendents who served under him to be promoted.
Sivatel, who had just been promoted, was grateful for Byron's invention of ridge ploughing, manure and zigzag plough, so that his people would no longer starve to death, and they would no longer have to take the initiative to commit suicide and return to the [Huashan Heavenly Kingdom].
He had already become a fan of Byron (chapter 347).
When there is a benefit, the first one falls on her head.
With the successful promotion of Sivatl, the first role model, the cries of "Our Lord is supreme" and "Death to those who stand in the way" once again echoed in the sky over the empire.
Even the conquered and voluntarily surrendered city-state.
Their core interests are highly aligned with the Empire, and those who hinder the Golden Empire are their undying enemies!
Catherine's status as a promoter did not come as Catherine expected.
"It turned out to be the Great Shaman of Sivatl, a fanatical believer in the Lord of Heaven, and I remember that the fortress of Riptide Fortress was written by her.
After the unification of the Golden Empire, it was just about to start the construction of roads, and Sivatel broke through at the right time.
She and her bear spirit warriors will soon be useful.
His Majesty the [Lord of the Heavenly Kingdom] has already planned the blueprint for the construction, and if it is successfully completed, Lady Sivatel may be able to be a fifth-order [False God].
By the way, you can also take off a powerful power and god name such as [Infrastructure Maniac]. ”
Catherine saw the irrepressible envy on the faces of the two, especially the urgency of the [Conqueror] Cortez, who could not be promoted after death, was written on her face, and smiled at them easily:
"Don't worry, you two.
You are all the first of the Yucatan to follow His Majesty's courtiers, and you have no problem with your abilities and loyalty.
After His Majesty the Emperor returns, he will give you the [First Embrace] of the Night Demon, and it will be easy to live for another one or two hundred years.
After that, you will grow with the Holy Golden Empire, and even if you fall behind for a while, the dividends of the times will force you into the right place. ”
The two were immediately overjoyed, bowed to the ground together, and thanked excitedly:
"Thank you for the kindness of Your Majesty the Emperor and Your Majesty the Empress."
Catherine's good news for them was more than that, and she raised her hand.
Buzz——!
The growing Golden Law is called to manifest.
It can be clearly seen that the legal network is centered on a "golden triangle", faintly presenting a seven-layer legal structure, and the first four layers have been roughly formed.
Compared with the Silver Law, there is still a big gap in volume, but there is no essential difference.
And at the same time, it has the triple authority to govern the gods, the world, and the undead, which is more complete than the castrated silver law.
Catherine pointed to the sequence of lighthouses, castles, inquisitions, and so on that manifested in the depths of the network of laws, and explained to them with a smile:
"Your Majesty knows that the transcendent system and the economic system are similar, and if only the official 'visible hand' allocates anchoring authority, it will only bring systemic rigidity.
Therefore, with the growth of the seven-layer law network, the Golden Empire will gradually open up the promotion authority of the [Glory Ladder], allowing outstanding talents to promote independently.
With an 'invisible hand', we can give full play to everyone's subjective initiative.
The best days of the Holy Golden Empire are yet to come. ”
Cortés and Jeroni left excitedly, ready to share the good news with their people.
In the International Port, in the Governor's Palace, where Catherine is located, the summary and reporting work continues.
"Miss Catherine, in the last month, the fighting on the island of Yucatan has gradually subsided, and the volume of trade has expanded, and the cargo throughput of the international port has increased rapidly every day.
Vanguard Bank's vaults 1 and 2 are almost full, and I recommend digging new vaults as soon as possible. ”
The deputy of the Ministry of Finance had a red face, looking at the skyrocketing yield curve, and his hands were trembling with excitement.
Catherine was not surprised.
The Golden Empire was unified by the royal capital Tayapan to formulate the trade policy, and then the International Port Governor's Office took the lead in the negotiation, and the Xifeng Express merchant ship, which was responsible for freight in the middle, decided the transportation price.
There are also spearhead privateer fleets of colonial trading companies, using the most "simple" business war mode to dissuade competitors.
Party A, Party B, inside and outside are all our people, who can manipulate the market at will, how can they not make money?
This already has a bit of the flavor of "supreme art" financial and trade wars.
"Miss Catherine's Riptide Fortress Arsenal"
The monthly summary of the departments lasted until the evening.
When the last subordinate left, Catherine had dinner alone, returned to her room, took a shower and changed into a red silk nightdress.
Sitting in the chair, he stretched out widely, and the moving curves of the thin branches and fruits cast a graceful silhouette under the whale oil lamp.
At this moment, the light of a silver lighter on the table suddenly flickered.
Shirley, the head maid, came out of the firelight with several maids who were more delicate than dolls, each holding several sets of elaborate dresses.
"Master, we have brought back the custom-made clothes from the Old World."
Catherine's eyes lit up, and her tired body and mind were immediately refilled with vitality.
Jumping down from the chair, the slender waist swinged, and the high-heeled slippers came to the maids.
His eyes lit up, and he looked at the past one by one.
Byron said that when he came back this time, he would change Violet to sit in the base camp and take her back to the mainland to receive the knighthood.
Catherine naturally prepared early.
These are all the proud works of the costume design masters of Fei Lengcui, the art capital of the Old World.
In order to prevent the embarrassing scenes of aristocratic ladies colliding with their shirts, they are all unique and custom-made models, with beautiful clothes and more beautiful prices.
When she first learned the price, Catherine felt a pain in her flesh when she was used to the tight days.
But the designers had a good idea:
"Respect clothes before people in social situations.
The best luxury around men is us women.
As long as a woman is full of jewels and big names, no matter how unkempt a man is, others will not look down on him when they see it.
will only say that if you don't have money, you have status, what's the big deal, that beautiful woman is willing to follow you, she must be trying for your money! ”
Although it felt like a crooked reason, for the sake of Byron's face, Catherine's wallet involuntarily opened the zipper.
With her own little coffer, of course.
And I didn't just buy it for myself, each of which was customized with two sets of dresses with different styles on the same theme.
Catherine set up for herself, and left one for Violet.
"The Dream of Swan Lake" white swans and black swans; the pink and white sisters of "Sweetheart Doll"; the golden and silver moons of the "Summer of Moonlight"; The red and white roses of the "Rose Maiden".
In the hands of those costume design masters, these groups are all perfectly in line with the temperament of two people.
"One set, one set, one set. One set for you, one set for me."
Catherine was in a good mood as she divided the dress into two parts.
Her greatest strength is that she is broad-minded in every sense.
Although she is two years younger than Violet, she looks more like the eldest sister in the family who worries about everything.
When she got to the end, she suddenly saw a pile of colorful clothes in a separate walnut box, and her cheeks couldn't help but redden.

But he still held back his shame and took out one of them and slowly unfolded it.
In the bright light, all the fabric of this dress was no bigger than the palm of a little girl's hand, and it was divided into two triangular pieces.
The green tulle material can be seen at a glance, and only a few thin red ribbons are connected in the middle.
The matching upper body coat is also the same style, not only can not cover anything, but want to cover it more conspicuously.
Just holding it in her hand made Catherine feel hot and her cheeks smoking.
The words of the merchant seem to be still in the ears:
"This is a new style of clothing launched by our store, which has swept the circle of noble ladies of Fei Lengcui, and is regarded as a secret treasure to enhance the relationship between husband and wife.
If you want to handle a man, you only need one set, and if it's not enough, then you can do it again.
Trust me, that's right! ”
Catherine, who has always been shrewd, somehow made a fool, and involuntarily paid for these "clothes" whose material costs were about equal to nothing.
Worth!
It's not worth it!
It's better to die of shame than two people to die of shame together, and she also bought two copies, and shared one point with Violet, and each of them had five or six pieces.
The difference is obvious, Catherine's own is almost the equivalent of a small watermelon, and she is obviously one size bigger than Violet.
After Shirley and the maids retired, Catherine quietly closed the curtains, touched her delicate and silky little clothes, and bit her lower lip with a red face.
Then, looking at the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the room, he untied the nightdress and put the green tulle coat on his body.
He also threw a wink at the mirror that was not very skillful.
The blonde girl in the mirror who is stunningly beautiful and seductive makes Catherine's own heart "poof!" Poof! "It's been a lot of jumping.
Although it is not exaggerated to the point of killing yourself on the spot.
But the dignified [Flower of the Northland], who is qualified to compete with Elizabeth Woodwell, the most beautiful woman in the Channel Islands, is indeed beautiful to the point of fouling.
It's not an acquired extraordinary ability, but a natural beauty.
Especially with a little dress that is more sultry than wearing nothing, even a man who is made of steel will become soft in front of her.
Suddenly I felt that this little fabric was worth the money again.
"According to the speed of the [Golden Deer], it will be back the night after tomorrow at the latest, and I will wear this one when the time comes.
If it weren't for the continuation of the Lancaster family, I wouldn't have worn such clothes to show that little villain Byron.
Don't you want to kill him?
That's right, it's for Lancaster, I don't like this kind of clothes at all myself, huh! ”
Just quietly admiring the beautiful girl with pink skin all over her body in the mirror for a while, Catherine felt that her legs were a little weak.
I was about to change out of this embarrassing little coat.
Tick! Tick!
Suddenly, the sound of water droplets and wind was heard, and an illusory vortex of light appeared in the middle of the room.
It is obviously impossible for anyone else to break through the border of the [Golden Law] silently.
Catherine panicked all of a sudden, and hurriedly put on the flaming nightdress, and closed the walnut box containing a dozen other small clothes.
As soon as she had done all this, Byron and Violet stepped out of the whirlpool hand in hand and appeared in front of her.
When I looked up and saw Catherine, I gave her a big smile:
"The two of us left the [Golden Deer], which had to run at sea for two days, to take the lead and rushed back ahead of schedule.
Sister, do you want to miss me, are you surprised?
Hey? What were you just doing? ”
Byron's eyes were sharp, and he immediately noticed that his sister was blushing and scrambling to hide something.
The shoulders of the unfinished nightdress also showed a corner of emerald green tulle clothing.
There are still two piles of dresses in the bedroom, and it looks like they are changing clothes just now?
Noticing his gaze, Catherine hurriedly pulled the placket to cover the small clothes inside, pinched her waist and said to him fiercely:
"What do you see? Haven't you seen it? ”
But he was obviously very inward-looking, his eyes wandered, and he subconsciously looked at the clothes and boxes around him.
This expression looked in the eyes of Byron and Violet, but they couldn't help but think of the cute appearance of the evil dragon roaring: "Ahhh~".
Violet, who had long known what Catherine had bought and was hiding from Byron, had already guessed what she was just doing, and she didn't poke it, but forced a smile and picked up her own pile of dresses.
He walked straight to the bedroom door, opened it and winked back at Catherine with a smile:
"This brother will be returned to you, I will sleep next door, and you two will be quiet at night."
Catherine's white jade-like cheeks rose red again at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she said helplessly:
"Huh? Isn't it Monday? According to the schedule, one, three, and five are your days, or I or I will be better tomorrow.
Or you can stay and help me, okay? ”
Catherine is obviously much more timid than Violet, and she has been mentally building up for more than half a month, and when it comes to the end, she retreats a little, and stammers to beg her sister to cheer her up.
Violet waved her hand very generously:
"It's all my own good sisters who are polite to me, I have eaten alone for a month, so I will let you enjoy it in advance today, and I can give it to me the day after tomorrow."
When he pushed the door out, he didn't forget to give a thumbs up, and said with a wicked smile like a real little witch:
"Catherine, I've used it for you many times, and to be honest, your brother tastes good! Great! ”
Boom!
The door was closed, leaving only the two siblings looking at each other.
Violet is indeed a god assist, and it has brought the atmosphere here, and it seems a little inappropriate not to do anything.
Today was the first time the two of them had faced each other alone since the window paper was punctured.
Byron also admired Catherine in front of him from another capacity for the first time.
The skin is as white as snow, the flaming red lips are gorgeous, especially the two perfectly proportioned super long legs under the hem of the nightdress skirt can't be placed at all.
The toes, painted in the magenta heels, are like sweet cherries, curled up and stretched nervously.
The two were close enough to breathe together, and the refreshing scent of roses resettled Byron's equally pounding heart.
Catherine also raised her head to look at Byron in front of her.
Handsome, tall, mighty, and with a perfect body, he can perfectly match the prince charming in every girl's mind.
Unconsciously, the younger brother in front of him has grown from a little kid who runs behind him all day long to a man who can really carry a family and even a country.
Everyone else calls her the Mithril Dragon, but only she knows that this title is at least eighty percent of Byron's credit.
Without him, there would be nothing they have now.
A faint mist rose in his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused, stepped forward and hugged him in his arms, and said softly:
"Byron, welcome home."
Then he whispered in his ear:
"Byron, you know, when we first met again, I really just wanted to raise you with the Greenville family's fortune.
By the way, I will help you give birth to a few children, and our family can spend this life together in peace.
You don't have to do anything, you just shout every day: 'Rich woman, fanfan, hungry'.
You've made it this far, something I never dreamed of.
You are the pride of your sister.
Are you hungry in a hurry? I'm underneath."
was held in his arms by Byron's backhand, spitting hot breath in her ear:
"Cut, I don't know you yet? How can there be so many sensational words in ordinary times, this is already so nervous that the palms of the hands and feet are sweating, right?
But I'm not nervous if you're nervous.
I did get hungry, but now I just want to eat you! ”
Then he bit her white and slender swan neck.
"Hmm!"
Catherine's lake-green eyes widened suddenly, and she let out a soft snort from her nose, her white toes instantly straightened, and her slippers fell to the ground.
The bloodsucking of [Night Demon] is not only eating, but also directly injecting a large amount of "happiness", which makes the "prey" want to stop.
Catherine was pierced mercilessly by Byron, clenched her little fist and knocked him twice on the chest:
"Badass, it's really eating."
Byron pretended not to know, and it took a while to let go of the girl, and his voice was full of a hint of teasing:
"Didn't you invite me to eat?
How can you eat if you don't eat like this, you teach me, sister? ”
As soon as the words fell, the shape of the beautiful girl in her arms began to change violently.
The lake's green eyes turned into golden dragon vertical pupils, two crystal clear golden dragon horns grew on the white forehead, and the brilliant blonde hair was windless.
There were bright silver dragon scales on the cheeks, shoulder blades, and thighs, and a thick silver dragon tail behind the buttocks broke through the nightdress.
Between the bright silver scales, a large white waist and abdomen are exposed, a slender and powerful waist, a diamond-shaped narrow umbilical fossa, and even a toned abdominal muscle curve.
Half-human, half-dragon, with a bizarre alternative aesthetic.
In an instant, he turned into the form of a Mithril Dragon Lady, more precisely, a third-order half-dragon man, and his actual strength went straight to the fourth order under the increase of the law.
The little clothes that he didn't have time to take off were naturally unobstructed, which made Byron's eyes shine and his nasal cavities were a little hot.
Seeing that there was no way to cover it, Catherine simply broke the jar and snorted softly:
"Do you think I'm dressed like this to please you? Yes, you guessed it.
However, your sister will always be your sister, so you should lie down for me.
You're the mount tonight! ”
Stand up and exert force, want to suppress Byron's backhand, and then do whatever you want like bullying your younger brother in the past ten years.
Byron's two inhuman queens are both accustomed to being sisters, and even the starting style is exactly the same - turning over and singing.
"The last time I was easily suppressed by Violet's whale maiden form, it was because I hadn't metamorphosed into a mythical creature yet.
If I am suppressed by you dragon lady again this time, won't the mythical form of my [Daredevil Prince] be promoted in vain? ”
Byron, who had been prepared for a long time, also partially unfolded his mythical form, the ever-changing "∞", and then changed into a dragonman form like a girl.
It's just that the scales are a brilliant golden color.
"Whew——!"
Bang!
The lights went out, and the entire Doge's Palace shook violently.
The two dragons begin to fight, and whoever wins is qualified to be a real "dragon knight", and whoever loses is tonight's "mount".
Suddenly.
"Shhh No, not like that with my little Byron. We bathed together when we were kids and saw the little chirp many times with our own eyes."
Before Catherine could continue, Byron gagged her:
"Phew! Shut up, the little dragon girl still dares to speak up? I want you to taste what a five-meter-long dragoon gun mouth is! Death! ”
"Spare ——!"
The feeling of being too familiar between childhood sweethearts has long been gone.
There will only be endless novelty later, and the process will take a long, long time.
But it doesn't matter, they have a long life and a lot of time to do it slowly.
The two dragons, who were just busy getting acquainted with each other's lengths and depths, didn't notice that a rhythmic seismic wave was spreading around their governor's palace.
