Sona pointed at the new city under the setting sun, puffing up her chest with great pride.
We slowly walked down the transmission platform and looked at the prototype of the city made of huge rocks in front of us. Although it was rough, unadorned, and even looked messy now, I could see from every inch of the land here, every stone crevice, and even
The light of pride and tenacity can be seen on every edge and corner. The unique wind mixed with the smell of dust in the south blows in the face, bringing with it the faint shouts from the distant construction site. Sakina's face
With a bright smile on his face, he opened his hands and said: "We are going to build a big city here! The name of the city is the Dragon City! Then we will build a kingdom with it as the center for all the half-dragons to live in.
Come in!"
Dragon City... is really an uncreative name, but I just smiled and patted Sakina on the shoulder: "Work hard, Lin will always look at this place."
The Dragon God girl had a faint smile. Perhaps the rough stone city in front of her was no different from a straw hut in God's eyes, but she was still smiling, and then slowly opened her hands: "Then, this place will be forever blessed by me.
blessing……"
Golden light spread throughout the city, and mysterious brilliance began to wander on every stone edge, complementing the golden sunset in the sky. As a result, a city built by mortals became the second kingdom of God's care.
"As long as there is one half-dragon who sticks to this land, this city will never fall." Lin said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go home and get excited again." I patted Sakina and Sona's shoulders hard to calm down the two half-dragon girls who were about to jump up. "Now take us on a tour.
How is your new home?"
"Uh...oh, okay!" Sakina almost bit her tongue. Her tail was flapping rapidly on the ground, showing that the girl was really in a very happy mood. I noticed that she still had the bow tied to her tail.
Well, it seems that sooner or later this will really become a popular trend among female half-dragons. "Well... because the city has just been established, not even all the housing has been solved, and there is only a rudimentary ring of city walls... so there is probably nothing to see.
, I hope the goddess will not be disappointed..."
"It's okay. To be honest, Shadow City was much deserted when it first started." I smiled and waved my hand, following the two half-dragon girls as they walked along the stone avenue. "At that time, there were only a few hundred residents in the city.
, as deserted as a horror movie scene..."
"Oh..." Sakina didn't understand either, so she just said oh anyway.
It was indeed as she said. This future sacred city is now in dire straits. No facilities are perfect, and even the basic housing problems have not been solved. After walking for a while along a stone path next to the avenue, we
We arrived at the construction area that had just started. It looked like it was going to be built as a residential area, but currently there was only a foundation. Huge rough stones were piled next to it, and a small amount of fine materials that should have been processed on site were piled separately.
Various construction tools and magic energy arrays that seemed strange to me were scattered around the foundation, seemingly ready for the next day's work. And outside the construction site, there was a patchwork of tents. Most of the tents were
They are very old, and many of the tents still have large repair marks on them. They are of different sizes and in various shapes, and they are obviously not standard materials.
Before the city was built, most half-dragon civilians lived in tents like this.
"These are all sent by the Holy City. They were used during the expansion of the Holy City of Crows. The Holy City has not yet been completely built, but they have a lot of spare supplies, so Vanilla sent someone to deliver them."
Na pointed at these dilapidated tents and said, "Thanks to these things, we don't have to be exposed to the sun and rain. In addition, there are many construction tools there to provide support. Vanilla also brought in the scholars who helped design the Holy City plan.
Sent here. It really helped us a lot..."
Speaking of this, Sakina showed a slightly embarrassed look on her face: "Most half-dragons don't have much culture. At most they can read and write. Half-dragons who are good at crafts know how to build houses, but we don't know the city at all.
What is planning, how to design city walls, water canals, and other useful public facilities... Many people don't even know what those big houses are for. If it weren't for the scholars sent by Vanilla to help, maybe we would build our new home
It’ll be a mess.”
In this way, the Crow God Sect has also helped the Dragon God Sect a lot. I feel very relieved. It seems that the ignorant Vanilla has also grown a lot - although these decisions are probably made by the think tank around her.
For example, the old man who was born in an aristocratic family and has a lot of education helped to propose it, but her current behavior already seems to be a bit like a leader.
The little crow next to her also had a happy face. I guess she was probably more confused than these half-dragons and had no clue about city construction, but she could tell that Vanilla had done something good, so she became happy too.
The roads in the city have not yet been paved, and there are not even gravel roads in many places. Even the dirt roads in some places have not been completely smoothed. There are large open spaces everywhere, and construction areas extend in all directions. We just wandered around, and soon we were
As they approached the center of the city, Qian Qian's mouth had not been idle along the way, and she had been curiously asking about the construction of the city. At this time, she didn't know how to make the connection, and suddenly asked: "By the way, is there anyone coming to cause trouble?
?”
"Making trouble?" Sakina and Sona asked in unison, unable to keep up with Qian Qian's thinking.
"Yes, I just can't stand the independent half-dragon guy," Qian Qian nodded, thinking to herself, "Isn't it said so on TV and in novels? The race that was originally enslaved suddenly rose up, so I can't see it.
Guys are used to popping out to cause trouble. In addition, the security in the southern region seems to be very chaotic. I heard that there are gangs of thieves everywhere. I don't think there is an organized army here. Will anyone come to cause trouble?
By the way, do you have an army?"
"If we make trouble... I guess no one will dare to come..." Sakina said blankly, suddenly looking up at the sky silently.
A huge black shadow slowly crossed the sky. It was an adult black dragon. There was a huge net bag hanging on the black dragon's claws. The net bag was filled with gray-white stones. I had never looked up before.
I didn’t even notice that there was a dragon flying in the sky!
"There...are dragons in this city." Sona said slowly, "They are dragons from the Celestial City. They heard that the half-dragons were building a city, so they volunteered to help their relatives build houses.
Char even came over in person - but was dragged back by his wife. Now there are giant dragons to help go to the quarry to break the rocks, and then transport a large amount of stones to the city, which greatly speeds up the progress of our project, otherwise even if there is
With the blessing of God, it is impossible for us to build such a large scale in such a short period of time. In addition, when the city wall has not been built, the Dragon Clan is also helping to guard the safety of this area. So no one dares to come.
There is trouble here. Several principalities in the north and west have sent envoys with gifts. These countries have relatively loose policies towards half-dragons before. They probably think this is a capital, so they send people to celebrate half-dragons.
The establishment of the Dragon Kingdom."
"We originally wanted to let the envoys stay for a few more days. But they couldn't stand the custom of having barbecue with the dragon every night, and the horses, camels and beasts they brought with them scared a third of them to death in one night.
So they all ran away the next day." Sakina added, and everyone was silent - those ridiculous dragons created by the old empire...
"In addition, half-dragons themselves also have the power to fight." Sona puffed out her chest and slapped her tail on the ground to strengthen her tone. "Although we don't have an army, each of us is an excellent warrior. Saki and I
The elders of the Nayou tribe studied the previous documents, and then discussed it and decided to follow the tradition of the half-dragon empire in ancient legends. Every adult citizen will receive basic combat training and military training. At the same time, the half-dragon kingdom
We will also maintain a small standing army, and if a war does break out, we will be able to mobilize all the people... But the probability of a war breaking out is probably not high, in this world favored by the gods..."
"You can't say for sure. War has never been eliminated in history," Bingtis waved his hand. "The believers in my name also have civil wars every now and then. To put it bluntly, they are full of food, just for a bowl of tofu.
You can even start a fight..."
Me: "..." I always feel that most of the believers named Bingtis are as weird as this guy.
Not to mention that Sakina and Sona were confused and muttering about what tofu is - I don't think they could figure it out in their lifetime. Half-dragons are allergic to soy products - a group of us continued to move towards it.
We walked to the center of the city. Generally speaking, the most interesting things will be in the city center. And it was also the first place where construction was completed. We met many half-dragon civilians along the way, and the closer we got to the city center, the more people there were.
The more. These half-dragons are not dressed neatly, and most of them are even in rags. They have just gained freedom and have not had time to accumulate the wealth of their own race. There is not much in the half-dragons' social system that has not even been formed.
Productivity allows them to pay attention to food and clothing, but the half-dragon civilians dressed in rags, even wearing the rags they wore when they were slaves, have the most energetic and brightest smiles I have ever seen.
Hold your head high and walk on your own land with full vigor. When Sakina and Sona appeared, every half-dragon civilian bowed to them from a distance. In the minds of these civilians,
, it was these two girls who were the first to receive God's revelation and the first to stand up against the so-called "higher race". Sakina and Sona's rallying call in the south allowed the half-dragons, a fragmented race, to
We regrouped and finally established a new home here. I can feel the respect and awe of the civilians here for Sakina and Sona from every look around me, even though the targets they admire don't seem to be very smart either.
Look.
Lin, the real dragon god, walked together with Sakina and appeared openly in front of the half-dragon civilians. However, no one recognized her - except for the core believers, the average half-dragon civilians
They didn't even know that Lin's human form looked like this. They only knew that the god who protected their race was a two-headed golden dragon. How could they not treat the short girl passing by in front of them with a habit of shrinking her neck when talking?
The supreme god is connected together.
"Look! This is the city hall!" Sakina suddenly shouted happily. When I looked up, it turned out that everyone had finally arrived at the center of this half-dragon city. A magnificent boulder building appeared in front of everyone. This was the only
A beautiful building that has been carved on the outside and painted with bright colors of gold and red. All the buildings of the half-dragon people are made of stone, and this place is no exception. But compared with the rough houses before, there is nothing in sight.
This majestic building like a castle has more carvings. There are dragon-themed reliefs on its walls, and ferocious and mighty dragon head stone carvings protrude from the top of the columns on the outer wall. This is a building that is both rugged and rugged.
There are two styles of architecture: fine and exquisite. However, these are not important. The most important thing is that we saw a huge stone sculpture in front of this building called the City Hall, which is an artistic miracle.
It was a two-headed dragon lying in the square in front of the City Hall. It seemed to be guarding the entire city. One of the dragon's heads was raised to the sky, its eyes wide open, while the other head was lowered to the square in front of the City Hall. Its eyes were soft.
I could tell at a glance that this was Lin's sculpture.
"We sent all the historical materials and potentially valuable antiques related to the half-dragons that we collected here. The knowledgeable old people in the tribe and the enthusiastic scholars from foreign tribes gathered in the city hall.
"Restore the culture of the half-dragons in the East and West," Sona pointed in the direction of the city hall. "Just like what you taught at that time, even if you cannot completely restore the ancient civilization, you must at least know what the words you once used are like.
I know the name of my former empire. Well, it is said that the city hall is not used for this, but now the half-dragon society seems to have no need for the city hall, so we will temporarily use this place as a historical research center... In addition, we also
We need to open schools and other places nearby, and half-dragon children will also have to go to school in the future. We can't continue to be regarded as barbarians, and this can't be done in vain... This is what the goddess taught us, she
It is said that knowledge is power...Ah, Goddess, what do you want to do?"
Sona realized halfway through speaking that her goddess had gone far away at some point. When she was born and called out, I saw what the Dragon God girl was doing: I don’t know what the girl was thinking, but she had already crawled to the municipal government.
On the base of the Dragon God sculpture in front of the hall, one of the paws of the sculpture is currently being held in a dazed state. Occasionally, she looks up, and then continues to be dazed. Hearing Sona's cry, Lin turned around and waved to us: "They made a mistake.
!I have a pointed chin~!”
Everyone: "..."
Monina hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Lin back. The Dragon God girl didn't feel anything about her actions. She just said to Sakina seriously: "You carved your chin too wide, and my claws are not that wide."
It’s sharp, although I usually polish it well, but if it’s too sharp, it’s easy to scratch things, so I polished the tip flat, and I don’t rely on it to fight anyway. By the way, you call the sculptor here, and I will be a model for you..."
Lin said, and suddenly ran to the open space next to her, her whole body radiating a dazzling golden light: "This girl is really happy, she transformed on the spot when she said she was going to transform. Monina was a little stunned when she saw my expression, and she shrugged helplessly.
Shrugging: "Don't mind, this guy gets like this when he's happy, his IQ plummets."
At this time, Lin, who Monina said had "a plummeting IQ", had completed her transformation and turned into a huge golden two-headed dragon. She took two casual steps and we felt that the whole square was shaking.
She stared blankly at the two-headed dragon not far away who was looking for someone with her head lowered, feeling that it might have been a mistake not to stop her just now.
The Dragon God looked around and found that after she transformed, the originally vast square seemed a bit cramped (mainly because she was standing next to her sculpture, too close), so she carefully folded her wings, and even
Her tail was raised to prevent it from being swept away, and then she tiptoed in this direction bit by bit. A thunderous voice sounded in the air: "Sakina, please call the carver out, I am a professional."
Model, wait a minute, I'll pose next to you, try to make it look the same as the one on this sculpture, and then you'll know what's wrong..."
"By the way, I forgot to mention that this guy has another problem. When believers sculpt themselves, she likes to go there and act as a model for them." Monina smacked her lips. "Last time, a group of believers sculpted proportions for her.
The giant statue was made purely by hand without magic, and it took two and a half years to carve it. When my brother and I went to pick her up, grass was growing all over her body..."
I:"……"
You think, how funny would it be to see a giant beast that is a hundred meters tall with its head held high and three hundred meters long including its tail, tiptoeing and hunching its neck while walking cautiously? But Lin is really capable of doing that.
He did this kind of stupid thing without hesitation. Sakina and Sona were watching, and their jaws almost dropped to the ground. When they heard the movement in the square, the half-dragon who was originally in the city hall
The elders, scholars and nearby half-dragon people gathered around, and at a glance they saw the two-headed dragon god with golden light all over his body standing in the square, curled up into a ball and rubbing around -
Well, maybe they didn't pay attention to the rubbing, and they saw their goddess coming.
Then all the people were shocked, and I felt like the ground was shaking again, and then countless onlookers quickly gathered here. People stood around the outside of the square, not daring to come forward casually, and I didn’t know who stood up.
Suddenly there was a chorus of shouts from the people: "The goddess is here!"
Lin was trying to find a place to put her feet when she suddenly shrunk her neck and was startled. Then she shook her head on the left side and heard a loud crashing sound. The square was filled with smoke——
