Red Dragon Emperor

"Ahhh!"

The thieves who had lost the will to survive let out a fanatical cry, desperate to die, no longer dodging the attack of the salamander group, and were instantly burned to ashes by the flame rays.

Jose watched all this silently, and did not stop him, because there was no need to capture him alive or interrogate him.

Such a fanatical death, there is no doubt that there are fanatics of the Church of the Heretic God.

After flying close, he smelled the bloody smell on the thieves that made dragons sick. This bloody smell was exactly the same as the smell on the statue of the evil god, which directly proved his conjecture.

"What are these guys doing in [Molten Core]?"

The thoughts in Jose's heart were like lightning. The outside world knew that the red dragon had finished hiding and moved to Oka City, but these cultists sneaked into the [Molten Core].

"Thief..., stealing, stealing?!"

The red dragon frowned, and naturally thought of the cursed conch he had sealed in the secret room on the cliff of the lava lake.

"The only thing that can cause the [Church of Salvation] to come and steal it is to curse the conch."

Jose realized that cursing the conch was not easy, and it was extremely important to the [Church of Salvation], otherwise [Church of Salvation] would not have specially sent someone to steal it.

"At this time, it's possible that the [Church of Salvation] came to steal because I started a war with the witch, but..."

Glancing at the charred and buried corpses, the red dragon felt a little puzzled. He didn't understand why [Church of Salvation] only sent three masters and some high-level thieves. If the legendary thieves sneaked in, the salamander group might not able to find out.

After thinking about it, he roughly guessed the reason. [Church of Salvation] does not have legendary thieves. After all, legendary professionals are not Chinese cabbages.

What Honglong didn't know was that he had accidentally discovered the truth.

"Hiss hiss~."

The neighing sound interrupted Jose's thinking, he turned his head to look aside, and the salamander group surrounded his long-lost owner.

These terrifying giant beasts with a body length of seven or eight meters and red cracks on their skin were like loyal puppies in front of the red dragon, sticking out their forked tongues and neighing in favor.

After patting the heads of the pets, Jose kicked his feet and flapped his wings fiercely into the air, flying towards the lava lake and towards the secret room where the cursed conch was sealed.

The secret room is located on the cliff on the shore of the bubbling lava lake. The cliff is 90 degrees perpendicular to the surface of the lava lake. There are dense traps scattered on the cliff. The natural barrier - the lava lake and many traps directly seal off the passage. The way to the chamber of secrets, there is no other way but to fly.

"Duranta, Manigos..."

Chanting a spell to unlock the invisible spell on the magic secret door, a magic fluorescent door appeared on the unremarkable cliff wall, and magic runes emerged on the door.

"If you want to steal my treasure, there is no door!"

Laughing at the useless efforts of the [Church of Salvation] in his heart, Jose put the dragon claws on the hexagram circle on the door, and the protective spell on the magic secret door was unlocked.

Jose pushed the door open and got into the secret room.

This is a small secret room. The layout of the secret room is very simple. A magic crystal lamp suspended in the center of the hall roof illuminates the metal cabinets that sneak into the walls around. These special metal cabinets contain red Dragon's collection.

However, most of these chests are empty, because the treasure has been transferred to the safer magic tower.

Jose walked to the innermost side of the room with ease, opened a drawer, and took out the box stored in the drawer.

With the magic crystal lamp, he opened the box and saw the cursed conch lying on the golden silk.

This cursed conch was too mysterious, and the curse sealed inside was so dangerous that the red dragon could not understand it. Therefore, after the initial research, he sealed the conch until now.

"What the hell is this?"

Jose didn't know the answer to the question, but he knew that the evil god's stuff was definitely not a good thing, and the [Curse of Sleeping Abyss] was sealed inside, which was even less good.

Based on the idea that the enemy wants to achieve, and the idea of ​​destroying it is over, the Red Dragon decided to dispose of the [cursed conch].

And to deal with the cursed conch, no force is more suitable and reassuring than [Justice Church].

Closing the box that isolated the magic fluctuations, Jose put the box in the dimensional bag, walked out, and at the same time asked the monster family guarding [Molten Core] to clean up the mess.

The founding ceremony was just around the corner, and he didn't want to waste precious time here, so he teleported directly back to the magic tower and then to the throne.

"Yougou, come to see me in the palace."

After a while, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Fusai—Ergo Bloodthorn came to the palace and saw the red dragon on the throne.

Jose directly took out the broken [Rapofil's Dragon Slaying Sword], and said, "Go prepare a crystal cabinet, I want to put this sword in the most prominent position in the founding ceremony!"

"As ordered."

You Gou saw the smile on the Red Dragon's face, and knew that the Red Dragon was in a good mood, so he tentatively asked, "Master, is the trouble solved?"

"If there is no accident, it will be resolved."

The long-planned conspiracy was thwarted, and the famous dragon executioner in the mainland had no bones left. Doris almost paid the price with her life, and also provoked the [Dragon Worship], and the [Northern Witch Council] should stop for a while.

As for [Church of Salvation], if Red Dragon's guess is correct, [Church of Salvation] will not make any big moves.

When the Red Dragon fought with the Witch of the Northland, it was the moment when [Forsyth Kingdom]’s defensive strength was weakest. However, the [Church of Salvation] did not initiate destruction on the surface, but instead sneaked into the [Molten Core]. Therefore, the Red Dragon made a bold guess, [ All the previous actions of the Church of Salvation were to cover up the theft.

Now that the theft has gone bankrupt, [Salvation Church] has lost its target. Even if it becomes angry and launches sabotage, it will not pay too much for the sabotage.

"There shouldn't be a big deal going on, but we still have to stay vigilant at all times to prevent the enemy from getting angry and taking out civilians."

Speaking of civilians, Jose suddenly thought of Thorn City, the slums outside Jinsha City, and the homeless wandering in the Triangle Plain: "How is the slum demolition plan of Thorn City and Jinsha City going?"

"Everything went well, most of the poor people accepted the kingdom's arrangement, and I am grateful for your kindness," said Ye Gou, and looked at the red dragon reverently.

Previously, the Red Dragon issued an announcement to allow the indigenous tribes in the grasslands around the Triangle Plain to join the Fusai Kingdom, gaining a large amount of territory without a single soldier, but this was only the first step of the plan.

Next, the Red Dragon promulgated another decree. This decree is aimed at residents of slums and homeless people in various cities. If the poor and homeless people are willing to go to the border of the newly added kingdom, they can obtain the qualifications for naturalization in the Kingdom of Fusai.

Almost overnight, the slums of the Triangle Plain were emptied, and the long-standing slum problem was solved.

"Well, after settling the newly naturalized natives and poor people, we have to build schools for them, educate them, and let them truly become part of the kingdom." After a pause, Jose added: "The past mistakes can be forgotten, But new offenders should be caught and killed.”

"Understood!" You Gou said solemnly.

This unprecedented naturalization of grassland natives was accepted on a huge scale, and many grassland robbers and wanted criminals were laundered and mixed in. The red dragon's explanation was aimed at this group of people.

"..."

After briefly chatting about the issue of the new citizens, Jose and Yegou naturally shifted the topic to the [Founding Ceremony].

Two days later, it will be the [Founding Ceremony] of the Fusai Kingdom.

Even though the urban area of ​​Oka City is huge and residents rent out their spare rooms one after another, Oka City is still full, so that latecomers can't find a place to live, so they have to pitch tents outside Oka City, and the tents are continuous.

"According to statistics, the population of Oka City is close to 600,000, of which there are more than 400,000 Kingdom residents and more than 100,000 outsiders, and there are still residents rushing to Oka City. According to estimates, on the day of the founding ceremony , the population gathered in Oka City will reach 700,000 to 800,000 people, and the foreign population will be around 200,000."

"Seven to eight hundred thousand, 200,000 foreign population, it seems that our [Forsyth Kingdom]'s image is still good," Jose nodded approvingly in his heart.

The mainland of Tidanol is vast and sparsely populated, and 500,000 people are eligible to establish a principality. That is to say, the people in Oka City alone are enough to establish a principality.

"Naturally," You Gou said with a smile, "Your Majesty, if you allow the residents of the Underground Kingdom to come out, the population of Oka City today will definitely exceed one million."

Jose nodded approvingly. The territory of the Fersai Kingdom is divided into two parts: the underground and the surface. The population of the underground kingdom is 2.8 million, and the population of the surface is slightly larger, about 3.5 million.

Due to the red dragon's ban, the surface kingdom and the underground kingdom are completely separated, which means that all the residents who come to Oka City are the surface population. If the underground residents are allowed to participate, then the population of Oka City will exceed one million.

"How's the rehearsal for the ceremony going?"

"..."

While the red dragon was chatting with his family members, in the kingdom of Viya, in a certain deep mountain depression, a magic tower hidden by a magic circle stood in the forest. The forest was quiet, with no birds or insects singing.

This is the magic tower of Doris, a member of the Council of Witches in the Northland. The magic tower is gray in color and has a staid style that makes people feel depressing.

Snapped! Crack! Snapped! La!

There was a crackling sound from inside the magic tower. It was the collision sound of objects being slammed on the ground, mixed with piercing screams.

"Jose! Forsey Kingdom! I, Doris, swear in the name of Ms. Winter! If you don't destroy you, you won't enter the Kingdom of God!" The screams were full of anger and resentment.

Bang!

Doris's eyes were bloodshot, and she punched the floor mirror in front of her hard, as if she wanted to smash the ugly face in the mirror.

The legendary witch is also a woman. Doris has always taken great care of herself. Even though she is over 150 years old, she still looks like a 30-year-old lady.

However, the red dragon gave her a savage claw, and a terrifying gap was split from the corner of the mouth to the root of the ear, revealing the white teeth.

At this moment, magic fluctuations came from the teleportation room in the magic tower. Doris took a deep breath and suppressed her anger slightly.

If nothing else happened, someone from the council sent 【Medical Potion·Legendary】, the potion can heal the wound on her face.

"Doris."

Doris tried to see who was coming through the magic tower, but before she could act, a familiar old voice came from outside the door.

She was startled, and turned her head to see a hunchbacked old woman standing at the door holding a wooden stick. The old woman just stood like an ordinary old woman in the country.

But anyone who is familiar with the old woman knows what kind of powerful power is hidden in this seemingly decayed skin, which is a terrifying power that can crush most legendary mages.

"Your Excellency, why are you here in person?"

No one knows how long she has lived, the chairperson of the Northland Witch Council—Terika. They only know that as early as the heyday of the [Northland Witch Council], Tearika was a key member of the council.

She personally experienced the prosperity and decline of the [Northland Witch Council]. After the destruction of the tower of the [Mother of the Red Nest], she rebuilt the witch council and became the thirteenth speaker of the [Northland Witch Council].

Facing the subordinate's question, Te Erica replied lightly: "I'll come and see you."

Seeing the wound on Doris's face, she took out a tube of emerald green potion with a little gold star in it from her bosom, lifted the potion up to Doris with mental force.

Doris took the medicine and couldn't wait to pull out the stopper and swallow the liquid in the test tube.

Surging vitality surged from the stomach and spread to the whole body.

After a while, the witch felt itching from the wound on her face, and she suppressed the itching, because the granulation was growing on the wound.

"Huh~."

Twenty seconds later, Doris touched her injured face, and what she touched was smooth skin, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Is appearance really that important?"

Hearing the speaker's inquiry, Doris felt a little headache.

The chairman of the house has too many advantages, such as being powerful, protecting members of the organization like an elder, etc., but Te Erica also has a bad point, that is, she doesn't care about her own appearance, and she always tries to persuade others not to care about her appearance .

"Appearance is useless. If you have time to dress up, it's better to study magic more. It's just a skin..."

I understand the truth, but Doris still can't ignore her image.

She changed the topic: "Your Excellency, our operation failed this time. The establishment of the Forsyth Kingdom is a foregone conclusion. What should we do next?"

When it comes to business, Te Erica no longer tried to persuade her subordinates to devote herself to the great cause of magic. She frowned slightly: "For now, I can only get used to this neighbor and wait for the time to come."

"Is that the case?!"

"What else can I do?"

Doris opened her mouth, but finally buried her resentment in her heart, just as the speaker said: What can I do? !

Today's Red Dragon has become a reality, sitting on a magic tower, and has hundreds of thousands of monsters under its command. The [Northern Witch Council] alone cannot solve the problem. If they attack by force, even if they can win, they will suffer heavy losses.

After a pause, Doris took a deep breath: "Your Excellency, I want to start the trial."

The old woman raised her head, and her eyes, which were as calm as stagnant water, became brighter. She stared at Doris, her most promising junior, her intended successor: "Have you figured it out?"

"Thought it out."
