"Gordon, maintain your utmost patience, and there is no need to behave like those short-lived species who are driven by short lifespan and eager for quick success."
Garos reminded seriously.
Iron Dragon Gordon guarantees:
"I understand! I promise to act steadily and never rush in! Garos, you know me best. Compared to Sorog, that Iron Dragon who loves to talk big words, and compared to Samantha, that guy who always loves to show off... I am much more stable and reliable than them!"
His tone was full of affirmation of his own wisdom.
"Right."
Garos changed the subject and asked, "How is your current relationship with Crystal Princess?"
The Crystal Princess in his mouth naturally refers to the Lothern princess who loves Gordon very much - Elina.
Crystal Princess is her official title, which comes from the fact that when she held a grand ceremony symbolizing adulthood, the old king spent a lot of money and gave her a rare mine rich in magic crystals as his exclusive private asset. This generous gift shocked the entire kingdom at the time.
"Very good! Very good!"
Gordon's voice rose instantly, full of unabashed pride. "She is as obsessed with me as ever! The luster of my scales, my elegant posture... oh, and of course my "wisdom", all fascinated her!"
Iron Dragon is immersed in self-absorbed narrative.
Obsessed with...?
Red Iron Dragon, on the other end of the spiritual connection, is deeply skeptical of this statement.
He knew his brother too well - perhaps because the more he lacked something, the more he longed for it. When Gordon described his own charm, he always habitually added fuel and exaggeration, which almost became his instinctive reaction.
But no matter what.
To be able to raise Iron Dragon Gordon, a giant dragon with a huge appetite, in Royal Court so fat and strong, with shiny and smooth scales... This Crystal Princess Elina must be extremely generous and not stingy with his material supplies.
After thinking for a while, Garos decided to pour some necessary reality-based cold water on the brother who was immersed in fantasy.
"Gordon, wake up."
He reminded in a deep voice, "Crystal Princess Elina's age, as far as I know, is over thirty years old."
"Under normal circumstances, a kingdom princess with a high status like her who is over the marriageable age should have married into a large aristocratic family in the country that has a large number of soldiers and a high position in accordance with the conventions and political needs of the human royal family."
"Either marrying a general who has great military exploits and can stabilize the morale of the army to win over the morale of the army, or... be used as an important diplomatic pawn and marry into other powerful kingdoms or principalities to consolidate the relationship between allies and weave a network of interests."
"Are you sure that as a princess, she can always be alone and withstand all pressure, just to be "obsessed" with you, this... um, maverick dragon?"
Obviously, Iron Dragon Gordon has not considered this issue at all.
He immediately responded, "Hey, you don't have to worry about this, Garos. A few years ago, Elina did mention these annoying things to me."
Gordon's tone seemed quite relaxed, and he didn't seem worried.
"She is naturally addicted to exploring the truth of arcane magic. She declined countless distinguished suitors on this basis as early as her girlhood. Now she has received the favor and blessing from Mystra Sanctuary. Her mind is as firm as a rock. She has already made a great wish to dedicate her life to the palace of magic and her beloved Lothern Kingdom without reservation."
Mystra Sanctuary, also known as Mystra Church among believers.
It is better known as Bernardo World.
--Magic Goddess Church.
Although on this planet named Bernardo, the alchemy industrial civilization represented by steel and metal has been highly developed, powerful life forms of the Legendary Realm level are also common, and there are even some supreme beings that have touched the top of the power ceiling of Material World.
However, the belief and worship of the transcendent Deity has never really disappeared in this world.
Whether it is Mystra Sanctuary, which symbolizes the origin of magic, Dawn Church, which represents bright hope, or Scales Sanctum, which is in charge of balance and contract... the figures of these sects have always occupied an indelible mark in the history and power map.
The kings of various countries usually do not reject the theocratic forces.
On the contrary.
The vast majority of kings will choose wisely to accept divine authority, and even establish a specific church as the state religion of their country.
They are good at calculating, assessing the situation, and depending on the needs of the situation, they may choose to secretly curb their influence or vigorously support their development and growth.
Because this complex dance with divine authority can often bring unexpected stability and consolidation to the king's own rule on a deeper level.
Garos thought for a few seconds in silence, and finally made a decision and said:
"Gordon, the time has come. You can try to discreetly disclose to Crystal Princess Elina something about Ignas Dragonflight's upcoming actions. There is no need to tell everything, just hint - you have several long-dormant, powerful blood brothers, and have already completed the planning, and are about to officially march into that vast wilderness full of opportunities..."
Although the main body of the Lothern Kingdom has not yet officially joined the war, Haltai Duchy, as its vassal, and Aber Duchy, as the arm of the Rybos Kingdom, are already at war, and they also have many resource bases in Ser Wilderness.
In a sense it can be said.
Federation's civil war fire has been officially ignited.
This also means that Molten Iron Tribe, which has been accumulating and tempering in Shadowlands for several years, is finally time to reveal its hidden sharp claws and march towards the ownerless wilderness with abundant resources and vast land.
I don't know how long the battle between principalities will last.
It is necessary to set up strong camps in the wilderness and establish solid strongholds, outposts and foundations before the intensity of the war escalates and the more powerful behind-the-scenes kingdoms go into battle bare-chested and ignite more violent wars.
Get a foothold there.
Waiting for the more turbulent and violent flames to burst into the night.
On the premise of this strategic deployment.
Garos hopes to reach a preliminary understanding of cooperation with the intelligent and influential Crystal Princess.
If this matter can be successfully promoted, at least in terms of resource security, he will have a solid backing - the crystal veins produced by Her Royal Highness the Princess are by no means just shiny mundane decorations, but precious magic crystals that can be used as a source of energy.
Go one step further.
Those solidified Black Oil Crystal, which represent more advanced energy forms, may also have the opportunity to obtain a certain supply.
These are essential resources if you want to quickly improve Life Level.
"Okay! I can't wait!"
Gordon replied excitedly.
Just picture that:
The spectacular sight of his powerful blood brothers expanding their territory and claiming kingship in the vast and chaotic land of Ser Wilderness.
Even though he Gordon is still far away in the prosperous but hidden murderous Federation Royal Court... But when he thinks of the magnificent hegemony that belongs to Ignas Dragonflight, he also has an irreplaceable contribution that Gordon silently contributed in the heart of the enemy camp.
He couldn't help but hum softly, puffed up his chest, and felt a great sense of pride.
