Chapter 548 The Dragon Knight Who Arrived at the End
"Your Majesty, do you mean that we want to create a god?"
Hearing this, many important officials and imperial guardians were shocked and whispered.
Without listening carefully, Ryan knew that most of these whispers were doubts.
After all, even if we want to create a god, someone must be promoted to a demigod before they have the opportunity to absorb the power of faith of ordinary people.
Now the entire empire does not even have a demigod-level strongman. Talking about creating a god is undoubtedly a castle in the air and a moon in the water.
"No, what I mean is that what we lack most is actually confidence!" Ryan said in a deep voice.
There is a saying in the previous life that confidence is sometimes more important than gold. In this world and at this time, it is also applicable.
After experiencing the Second Imperial Capital War and the death of His Majesty Emperor Carlos II, Ryan saw on the road that the expressions of ordinary people were full of worry and anxiety, and the eyes of the originally brave and resolute griffin knights were also full of frustration.
Even many high-ranking nobles of the empire have lost their confidence.
If there is no intervention and guidance, the people of the empire will be demoralized and the situation will become more turbulent. Such an empire will undoubtedly become a hotbed for the rise of cults.
"Confidence?"
"This..."
Hearing Ryan's words, many imperial guardians and dignitaries looked thoughtful, even the 'Red Queen' Menia, who was sitting in the main seat, also looked thoughtful.
Indeed, in dealing with the gods, even a considerable number of high-ranking nobles have lost confidence.
At this time, a less harmonious voice sounded:
"Haha, Your Majesty Ryan just mentioned confidence, which is true, but it did not touch on how to solve practical problems."
"I think if we can solve the increasingly frequent cult tragedies, solve the problem of farmland withering, solve the problem of reduced empire tax revenue, etc., everyone will have confidence."
It turned out that the Minister of the Interior spoke.
Although Ryan performed brilliantly in the war and showed super strength, the upper forces of the Dragun Empire were intertwined and deeply rooted. It was far from the point where everyone had to listen respectfully as soon as Ryan spoke.
However, the Minister of the Interior was obviously afraid of Ryan and did not dare to use words that would obviously offend people. Instead, he tended to make things difficult for him.
"As everyone knows, I have been with the Sword Bearers of the Empire. I do have an idea about suppressing the increasingly active cults."
"In fact, in each province or important area of the Empire, the people responsible for suppressing cults are mainly middle-level combat forces, such as Sword Bearers and special departments of the military."
"We can quickly strengthen this part of the force, such as introducing Constructed Golems. I tried this a little bit on the Cyrodiil Plateau, and the effect was very good."
Then, Ryan briefly described how the wizards of the Isolder School and the Bishu Constructed School strangled the alien spiders with the help of mechanical devices such as mechanical chocobos, velociraptors and sickle claws.
"Through this method, we can significantly reduce the casualties of middle-level combatants in the process of strangling the cultists, thereby improving the Empire's control over the territory."
"Good public security, coupled with propaganda guidance, can rebuild the confidence of the people. The cult has lost its hotbed, and the speed of the evil god's revival will also slow down."
Ryan's words immediately attracted the attention of the Empire's guardians and several senior imperial generals on the scene, including Marshal Alfred, and they all took up their pens to record.
And the Minister of the Interior heard that Ryan actually had a detailed solution. Although it was only for public security, it was very feasible.
He stammered twice and didn't say anything else.
After all, giving suggestions is giving suggestions, but if it is unreasonable, then he is asking for trouble.
"I think His Majesty Ryan's suggestion is very good. I hope that after the meeting, the Imperial Military, the Sword Bearers and several other departments can immediately come up with a plan and arrange for its implementation." Menia smiled and made the decision.
At first, she was worried that Ryan would not be used to such occasions.
But Ryan's performance was better than she expected.
At this time, Menia seemed to have thought of something, and turned his head to ask the great astrologer Dallion,
"Your Majesty Dallion, as the person in charge of the Imperial Astrologer's Platform, after this war, how long will it take for the evil gods to be able to descend to the level of demigods?"
"This. Astrologers, including me, are not able to make accurate predictions."
"However, although the gods have consumed a lot of divine power in this battle of the imperial capital, according to my judgment, at most within half a year to a year, there will be gods who will be able to revive and descend to the level of demigods."
"The premise is that we still follow the advice of Your Majesty Ryan and do a good job of curbing the evil cult."
"Half a year to a year?"
"Then the fastest time is only six months?"
"So fast?"
Many imperial officials changed their faces. They knew that with the further increase of energy tidal fluctuations, the time for the gods to revive will be accelerated.
But they never expected that this time unit was not a hundred years or even a decade, but a month.
In this way, the victory of the battle of the imperial capital only brought a brief respite to the empire.
This.
"Everyone, time is not on our side, which is why His Majesty decided to directly attack the demigod."
"Next, we will discuss the implementation of some of the policies and matters that have been determined. I hope that everyone will not delay or hinder them, and any degree of compromise is not allowed." Menia said with a serious face.
The meeting lasted for several hours.
After the meeting, everyone left, but Ryan did not leave.
Just as he was about to leave, he was invited to the side hall garden by the female attendant, saying that His Majesty Menia had invited him.
This garden is located at the edge of the east side of the palace. It is also the only side palace garden that has been relatively well preserved after the last fierce battle. However, a large number of flowers have been shaken off. Only some bellflowers and lisianthus remain, which have a kind of incomplete charm.
Menia was still discussing something with Elder Ivan and other royal elders in a small circle, so Ryan walked around in this royal garden alone, and his thoughts flew.
From the ancient times when the gods emerged in large numbers to the ancient times when the demigod-level combat power was brilliant, there is no doubt that the current era is withered.
On the one hand, there is the influence of energy tides.
On the other hand, most of the strong people today lack the courage to make progress bravely. They all think that they can't be on par with the gods and think that they can never defeat the evil gods.
In this case, how can a person finally control his own destiny?
"Ryan, what are you thinking about?" At this time, a mature female voice sounded, and it was the graceful Menia.
"Nothing, just some emotion."
"By the way, Menia, I'm afraid you've had a hard time recently." Ryan shook his head and said.
With the fall of Carlos II, a considerable part of the burden of the empire was suddenly placed on Menia. Now is not a peaceful time. Under the current situation, even if Menia is crowned as the queen, it is still a difficult task.
There was no further discussion on this topic. Menia smiled and said,
"Ryan, speaking of which, after you became the guardian of the empire, you have not yet chosen a dragon as your partner. Have you thought about it now? Will you choose a red dragon or another five-color dragon?"
"With your strength, you can directly sign a contract with a five-color dragon at the level of an extremely old dragon."
Ryan naturally considered this issue.
At first, he thought of choosing a red dragon to enhance the power of the red dragon secret technique "Molten Flame".
But since he had the special talent ability of "multiple heads", he could cast "Molten Flame" alone without the cooperation of a dragon partner.
Therefore, Ryan's current idea is to choose a dragon that is strong in close combat, and with the help of his metal covering, the combat power will be further improved, such as a black dragon.
Of course, if there is a dragon with a faster flying speed, it would also be good.
Although his special ability "Shadow Shuttle" is good, it consumes a lot of mental energy and cannot be used for long-term flight.
However, the choice of dragon also depends on the dragon's opinion. This is a two-way choice.
As for the Red Dragon King Straz, Ryan did not have no ideas, but on the one hand, the other party, as the dragon partner of the previous and previous emperors of the empire, has a special symbolic meaning.
Secondly, Ryan also intends to leave the Red Dragon King to Menia.
"Black Dragon, right? Menia, what do you think?"
"It's a very suitable choice for you. It seems that you have already made a plan. Then how about now? I can accompany you to take a look."
"Okay!"
Soon, Ryan, under the leadership of Menia, passed through layers of guards and came to the underground.
Ryan then discovered that there was a mystery hidden under the palace.
"Is this a demiplane?" Ryan said in surprise.
Compared to the real space, the demiplane is similar to a desk drawer, with an extra unique space. However, unlike the complete space of the secret realm, it does not require teleportation and can be entered directly, as if entering a folded space.
"Yes, this is a demiplane that has existed since the reign of Emperor Atlas."
"However, since the existence of the demiplane is not particularly stable, it needs to be constantly reinforced. At the same time, in order to avoid accidents, it can only be used as a resting place for adult dragons." Menia explained.
"I see." Ryan nodded.
No wonder.
Otherwise, all the young dragons and dragons in the secret realm of Dragon Valley can be arranged in the demiplane under this palace, which would be safer.
Ryan can see that one after another huge dragon nests are arranged on both sides of the long passage.
It is the first time he has seen so many dragon nests. If it is placed in the outside world, I am afraid it will be difficult to see such a magnificent scene.
Sure enough, it is not without reason that the Dragon Empire was founded on dragons.
"Actually, Ryan, I wanted to recommend you a place where a metal dragon might be sleeping, but I think that although the metal dragon is suitable for you, it has a violent temper and it is difficult for it to become a dragon partner." Menia said as he walked.
"Metal dragon?" Ryan paused and raised his eyebrows.
He had seen metal dragons in ancient books, but it seemed that in ancient times, metal dragons gradually withdrew from the stage of history, and they were rarely heard of in recent ancient times.
Unexpectedly, there are still living metal dragons now.
"Well, from the signs, it seems that it is the sleeping place of an ancient steel dragon. It was discovered hundreds of years ago, but in order to avoid disturbing the other party, the Empire set up an observation point, but did not take further action." Menia introduced.
"Where is the location?" Ryan asked a little hurriedly.
There is one thing Ryan himself is very clear. At present, he has a total of four battle pet contract quotas. After the death of the fast-walking wildebeest Xiao Hei, there are still two vacancies.
In other words, even if he contracts a black dragon this time, if the legendary steel dragon exists, he can still contract it.
Moreover, he was not afraid of the dragon's violent temper after he became a battle pet through the system.
"Huh? Ryan, you seem to be very interested? However, I still have the same suggestion that the metal dragon's temper is too violent."
"I understand, I just want to go and take a look."
"Well, the location is in the province of Caswes. I'll ask the attendant to give you the specific address later." Hearing what Ryan said, Menia nodded and said.
"We're here. In front is the lair of a black dragon. It is also the only two black dragons of the extremely old dragon level in the empire, Odrax."
Suddenly, Menia stopped and pointed to a cave in front of the passage.
"The only two? What about the other one?" Ryan couldn't help but ask curiously.
At the same time.
In the federal capital Antuhor.
In the meeting room on the top floor of the parliament building.
More than a dozen dignified federal congressmen were sitting around a long table discussing something. This time, Deputy Speaker Bertrand was only sitting in the middle right position.
In the middle was an old man with gray hair and a pipe in his mouth. Although his face looked a little old, his half-closed eyes would occasionally flash with a gleam of light.
This was Lawson Powell, the Speaker of the Federation.
"Everyone, you have also read the briefing and suggestions submitted to us by His Majesty the Swordmaster Tirion. I would like to hear your opinions." Lawson said in a deep voice.
"I object. The ruins of the floating city contain ancient goblin technology, which is of great significance to the Federation. If we cooperate with the Empire, the other party will learn a lot of goblin technology through exploration."
"I object too. In this matter, the interests of the Federation will suffer losses, but the Empire will benefit. I personally respect the personal power of His Majesty the Swordmaster Tirion, but His Majesty Tirion is obviously not good at exchanges between countries."
"Well, I think that if the Empire is willing to pay equal benefits, we can explore together."
"Bertrand, what do you think? Last time, you were the person in charge and received the Imperial delegation headed by Menia. Now His Highness Menia is the actual ruler of the Empire." Lawson called on Bertrand beside him to speak.
