Chapter 135 Extra 1. Meet Red Dragon Rock
December 25, 996, was a festive day for Dragon Tooth City, the capital of the Dragon King. All the nobles in the city gathered together to go to the palace. From Mount Longtai to Dragon Tooth City at the foot of the mountain and then to various small towns outside the city, lanterns were decorated everywhere and colorful flags were flying.
At the foot of Dragon Terrace Mountain, on the same street as Teleportation Hall in the city, there is a tall building with a layout like a fairy tale castle, a pure white marble appearance, a main building that is a hundred meters high, and dozens of spire towers.
This is the most important official organization of the Dragon Kingdom: Dragon Literature Society. This is the place that highlights the cultural heritage of the Dragon Kingdom and realizes the will of Red Dragon Rock and Legend. Here, multiple awards such as the best author of the Kingdom, the best novel, and the best literary award are selected every year.
On the 15th floor of the Literary Society Castle is the lounge of the Literary Award Jury. Surrounding this thousands-square-meter lounge are guest rooms for the committee members. On the corridor wall outside each room, a circle of oil paintings of the committee members is hung.
"You guys straighten the frame again." In a corner of the corridor, the president of the literary club, Tognev Red-Dragon, was instructing the workers to place an oil painting. The painting was huge in size and was a group portrait.
"Mr. President, have we added a new member?" Vice President Baishiya Blue Dragon came over, "Why didn't you hear about the committee meeting?"
According to the regulations of the literary society, new members need to be nominated by the entire committee and then sent to Red Dragon Rock for approval.
"Oh, Baishya, Prince Richie will become Duke of Dragon Tooth today. His Dragon Tooth Mountain Archon itself has the position of literary award committee member, just like the Royal Capital and Great Knight groups also have the position of jury member." Tognev looked at the oil painting that had just been hung up and couldn't help but said, "It is indeed the work of a palace Archmage-level painter. It is so lifelike!"
Most of the review committee members of Dragon Literature Society are captain Knight Order, chairman of the government Magic Guild, and Duke Count is part-time, because each committee member's list needs to be discussed and approved by the Legends of Red Dragon Rock, and the Legends are very busy every day, and it may take hundreds of years of discussion to reach a conclusion, so the committee simply set up position members to ensure that the committee has enough manpower.
"Indeed," Baishiya·Blue Dragon also looked at the oil painting, and suddenly he frowned, "President, who are these young ladies in this oil painting?"
"These? Of course they are the fifteen ladies of Prince Richie!" Tognev said with a smile, "Haven't you seen them too?"
"Then who are these young men that these ladies are holding?"
"Of course it's the Knights of Griffin Knight Order!"
"But, isn't the name of this painting called <Prince Richie Attends the Literary Award Ceremony>?" Baishiya said rather embarrassed.
"Yes, this is a pair of pictures. Look at this one here." Tognev pointed to another oil painting on the side.
"Oh, there is Prince Richie here, but these girls around him? I've never seen them before?"
"These girls are the female knights of the Griffin Knights. The girls all come from the royal capital's great nobility."
When Baishya looked carefully at the nameplate under the picture frame, he finally saw the name of the painting "Susie Committee Member Soaring in the Sky".
While the president and vice president of the literary club were busy placing portraits, Richie·Red-Dragon was following Dusen·White-Owl to Red Dragon Rock to meet many Demigod and Legend in the cave.
Even God Emperor explored the road of Legend and trained dozens of Legend in hundreds of years Mage Apprentice, however, in the entire Human Empire territory, the single building with the largest number of Legend and Demigod is still Red Dragon Rock, in the mountains of several kilometers, there are more than 50 Demigod/Legendary Dragon clan members and more than 50 of their Legend servants gathered.
"You know, the history of Red Dragon Rock far exceeds the history of human civilization. We Dragon Tooth City and Imperial Capital are the two sources of human civilization. Without Red Dragon Rock and Dragon Kingdom, humanity would have been unable to resist Beastmen Army!" Dusen led Richie to visit very proudly, "Humanity has experienced two empires in thousands of years, and we Red-Dragon Kingdom have never experienced turmoil since its establishment 3,000 years ago, and it continues to this day. This is all the result of Red Dragon Rock guarding here!"
Richie was greatly shocked by the greatness of the Kingdom, but it also raised many questions. "Red Dragon Rock is so powerful, so why hasn't our Kingdom expanded?"
Dusen did not say anything, but took Richie to the foot of a huge stone tablet and pointed to the words on it. "This is what Red-Dragon King I His Majesty said to Dragon Race after the founding of the People's Republic of China. A stone tablet that Demigod people pray for, asking them to help Dragon Kingdom unify the Human Race countries!"
"Then this stone tablet was rejected by them?"
"No, they had more important things to do back then, so they postponed this issue. They have postponed it until now and have not started discussing it."
"What issue is more important than unifying the entire human race?"
"Establish the Dragon Kingdom Literary Award."
"Ah... sounds quite important." Richie couldn't bear it. He didn't understand the conflict between unifying Human Race and establishing a literary award. "Father, did Red-Dragon's first His Majesty's path stop because of this?"
"Of course, Red-Dragon I His Majesty had great ambitions. He was determined to unify Human Race when he first came to Demigod. Even after the human city-states had formed Ancient Human Empire, his determination never changed." Dusen brought with him. Richie came under another gold-covered stone tablet, "This is the great achievement of Red-Dragon I His Majesty. He established dozens of literature-related awards and funds such as Dragon Literature Society, Dragon Kingdom Literary Award, Dragon Kingdom Writers Foundation, Red-Dragon Family Annual Literature Award, Red-Dragon Family Cultural Fund, etc."
"So, what about His Majesty's achievements?"
"His Majesty has achieved a huge victory: making dragon-slaying novels disappear completely!"
