Cthulhu Gonfalons

Chapter 44

Liu Bei, a well-known figure from Chinese history, had been a wanderer before his fifties, drifting from place to place. This was not because he could not fight or was too healthy to plan and plan. Instead, it was because he lacked the talent necessary to help him rule the country, the kind of talent with great vision that could show him how to proceed in the long run.

Zhuge Liang was a talent who possessed all these qualities. So Liu Bei's career finally moved in the right direction after he met Zhuge Liang, and he took the opportunity when Cao Cao (the Chinese warlord of the Eastern Han dynasty) had one step back as it moved south. Liu Bei managed to enter and host the territory of Shu (now Sichuan Province), eventually becoming a far superior emperor to the countless aristocracies that owned one-third of China, which comes from “the descendants of King Cuo of the lowly Zhongshan”.

Sui Xiong could not compare himself to Liu Bei. Still, he thought that when it came to fighting effectiveness, he was quite strong, and he was not stupid. However, since he had been transferred to this world, he had been aimlessly chaotic without knowing what the future would be like and what he should do.

At least until today, when he meets Snow, a dragon advisor with good eyesight. After hearing his clear and detailed explanation, he finally felt that the fog that covered his gaze disappeared, and his life path became clearer. So she admires and respects Snow, especially since she also likes drawing, which makes her feel as if she is meeting a good friend.

If described in the language used in online games, Snow has earned the reputation of “reverence”, and his liking has soared to over seventy.

Still, Sui Xiong was a bit curious: he was not a born king that everyone would kneel down and worship once he showed his admirable demeanor, nor was he rich with high rank that demanded the loyalty of others. Maybe it was because of his great potential .. yes, he might have some potential, but this is not a fantasy story. In the real world, no one wants to be a subordinate to the poor unless he feels that the poor have great potential!

Then why would Snow approve of Sui Xiong, and why would he be willing to be her advisor?

“The answer is quite simple,” said the ice dragon smiled, having now turned back to the friendly fat aunt of the grocery store. “As a member of the dragon race who is good at practicing cold magic, aside from the Dragon God in his own race, isn't the Ice God the most suitable partner for me?”

“I may have some skills, but compared to His Majesty in my own race, my skills are almost meaningless. The difference between my rank and his rank made it impossible for me to have the same conversation with him, not to mention cooperate with him. ”

The snow was surrounded by cold air, which became a transparent ice board on which the white ice drew a small dragon that kept its head high wanting to make a difference. Then the little dragon began to sweat heavily and knelt down in front of a few dragons surrounded by halos and began to worship them, lying on his stomach like a dog.

“There are three gods whose magic energy is in the cold and snow fields: one is a madman, the other a madman, and the last one is still a madman. In other words, a strong madman, a weaker madman and a much weaker madman. Since I am not a madman, I cannot communicate with them, let alone cooperate with them. ”

On the blackboard, there was a new image, where there was one large human figure and two small ones, and the bottom of their body was made of snow. They fought each other brutally. The little dragon watched them from a distance, and large droplets of sweat gathered on his forehead. He placed his hand on his forehead and sighed, staring helplessly.

Sui Xiong knew who he was talking about, Goddess of North Snowland and Storm, called “Queen of North”; God of Snow Mountain, Snowslide and Snowbeast, called “Master of Snow” Mountain; and the God of Glaciers and Ice Golems, called “Governor of Es”. Three gods and Goddess of Winter and North Wind, called “Helper of Cold”, and God of Beasts in Snowland, called “Ice Tyrant”, are, consists of the departments of the gods that make up ” Union of Extreme Cold ”. They are a bunch of nasty wild cards, mentally disorganized, and there is no logic in anything they do.

Every time these lunatics got together, they became much more terrifying, and everyone who lives in Northland or has to go to North Snowland is terrified every time they hear the name “Union of Extreme Cold”. In addition, the gods are led by the patron saint of head hunters, called “Bear Senior”, who brings trouble wherever he goes.

In fact, the death of the gods in Northland was quite serious. Every eight hundred to a thousand years, many gods were killed by the lunatics of the Extreme Cold Union. Were it not for the help of the priesthood of Goodness and Order, the whole of Northland would have been ruled by these maniacs.

Even so, the other gods in Northland need to be very careful all the time and take care of themselves. Once that group of madmen appeared, the other gods would immediately flee, so that they would not be killed.

Previously, when Sui Xiong read the ingredients of the God of Redemption, he had read the paragraph about this. At that moment, he realized that he would be a target for the Union of Extreme Cold when he was buried and would establish an Ice priesthood. To avoid being attacked and defeated, he needed to have more allies to give the madman a good fight.

“Your Majesty in my own race does not want to cooperate with me, as do the gods of snow and cold. So now that I have met a good god with cold magic power who does not belong to the chaotic faction, I definitely want to cooperate with him, “said Snow, bringing up all the reasons.

“Perhaps when I am old and about to die, I might still choose to go to the Holy Kingdom of the Gods, the Dragon Department. But before that day, a huge dragon with cold magic power and a god who can control cold magic power .. In my view, we were born to be good friends. ”

On the blackboard, the little dragon met a smiling large jellyfish surrounded by a cold wind, and immediately jumped up and held his hand and started playing.

Sui Xiong laughed. The floating jellyfish grabbed his palm made of ice and shook hands with the huge dragon that had returned to a human figure.

“You are right, I look forward to a smooth collaboration!”

… Still, their cooperation has not yet begun.

Sui Xiong needed to wait for Rhode to finish recruiting pioneers. Then Sui Xiong could calculate how many pioneers he had recruited in total and based on this, he could figure out how big his village should be. In addition, Rhode also needed to store more food and materials, while Gerrard needed to escort these pioneers north across Dragon-roar Town. Then they would arrive in a cold area where normal people could not stay alive, and there they would build their homes under Sui Xiong's protection.

Meanwhile, Snow had asked Shuang and Xian to go to the cold area north of the Ash Forest and find the perfect place where these pioneers could build in the desert. The topography of this place should be quite wide and flat, and there should be a good source of water. In addition, there should be some mountains made of high quality stone with mineral resources as well. In short, Snow had very high standards for the place. If he could not find a better place, it would take more time and manpower to build the village, and it would be more difficult to scale the village once it was grown.

Sui Xiong could help the pioneers against the cold, he said, but he could not help them cultivate the land or seek drinking water in the empty land or give them products to make money from or provide the stones needed to build the village. They have to get everything else out of nature.

Both Shuang and Xian were unwilling to go out and find the perfect place, considering Shuang disliked Sui Xiong and therefore did not want to help him, as for Xian, who was not, this quest meant that he could no longer sleep at the end of the night underground. But they did not dare to defy their sister's orders, so the young brothers traveled reluctantly and parted ways to find the perfect place.

“Is it safe to let two young people go find the perfect place?” Sui Xiong asked, a little worried.

Indeed, they were both dragons with high combat effectiveness. But in this world where there were many powerful beings, compared to them, the two young dragons were not very powerful. For example, Gerrard might find it less easy to fight with Shuang and Xian together, but it would be very easy for him to fight with one of them at once. Then the siblings will have only two options, to escape or die, and they will both likely end up in ruin thanks to Gerrard.

Although his siblings were not that strong, a dragon itself was extremely valuable, and this posed a great threat to them. As the saying goes on Earth, what will happen to a child who walks on a crowded street alone and holds a precious gemstone in his hand?

“No need to worry,” said Snow, paying attention to Sui Xiong's anxiety. Snow was not worried. He had just started drawing two powerful dragons fighting against the creepy wolves and kicking some skeletons and smiling, “As a member of the dragon race, he said, we have to defeat many enemies and difficulties to grow up. There were not many natural predators in the Ash Forest, and there were not many adventurers, so for them it was a very safe place where they could get a good experience. As long as they did not cross the desert, they never faced too much danger. ”

“Your Majesty, have you not forgotten something?”

“What item ??” Sui Xiong asked in confusion.

“To build a noble house, you will need a lot of money, materials, and labor. Currently, we have enough money, so we can buy materials, and we can easily get enough labor. However, you may have to have some officials who can help you to organize the city. Also, you will need some Pastors to run your church. Are you planning to stay indoors and wait for them to come by themselves? ”

On the board, the sleeping fat jellyfish had spread its tentacles and formed a net. It was waiting for gold coins, materials and human power to fall from the sky so that it could catch it in its net. Sui Xiong found this lazy jellyfish funny and annoying.

He knew that Snow was just being nice and warned him that he should go and find these people, but the way he warned him was a bit …

Seeing that the jellyfish on the blackboard were as fat as a pig, he did not know whether he should laugh or get angry. This ice dragon character was completely different from the legendary ice dragon which was usually described as proud, indifferent and difficult to approach! Could people just get the wrong information? Or is Snow himself different?

Sui Xiong now felt that he should study biology. At least he should be a master in dragon biology.

Of course, this was something he wanted to do in the future. First, he had to build the Holy Land, be finished off, and cultivate his followers. When all of these tasks were completed, then he had time to learn about something he did not use for the moment.

And most importantly, he needed to recruit some talented people who could help him rule his nation. Fortunately, Sui Xiong already had someone on his mind, so he didn't need to look for the person he needed.

A few days later, Sui Xiong made a jellyfish doppelganger, and began to move south alone without informing his followers.

The man he chose was an acquaintance of Satan, called Paine, who lived in the Commonwealth of Mifata at the southernmost point of the continent. He was a nobleman who was very knowledgeable about the nuances of how to govern nobles.
