Chapter 493: Speculation
"I think so, the carriage ......"
Cervantes glanced at the maid quietly, his mouth opened slightly, and before he could say the rest of the words, he was choked in the maid's throat: "If you want to say that you want to make a car or a train or something, then I advise you to dispel this idea." ”
"It's not that I can't make these things, I know that these things can further social development and technological progress, but I don't make these things happen. ”
The maid put down the pen, looked at the black dragon, and patiently explained: "It's because we can't come in a hurry, what I want is a country that has vitality, and can invent and progress independently, if they will only rely on me, if we leave in the future, then who can they rely on?"
"A nation can't rise by relying on one person, it needs a group of people! Seth, I think you feel it—"
The maid propped up the table with both hands, Huo Ran stood up, and a proud smile had already climbed on her face: "I opened a new era, it was supposed to be the work of Caesar XIII, but I did it, I promoted the progress of society, even if now the aristocratic forces come to pressure me, and even declare war on the Sorrowful Wind Leader, and it has also won the victory, and the Sad Wind Leader has become the same as other countries." But that seed has been planted, and I want to erase the influence I have left on the world?
"Now that I've done this, I don't need to use these things to promote social progress, I have to eat one bite at a time, I have to walk step by step, and if I am in a hurry, it will only become the same as before. I've changed my plans a few times, to the point where I almost had to change the policy to counter the impact, so it's not good to rush too much, and if you take too big a step, you'll be pulling the egg!"
Cervantes pouted, and another proposal was dismissed.
Sure enough, this world and this era are still too boring, why didn't he feel this way before?
"You won't get bored when Ziegler comes......"
The maid's words made Cervantes shudder, and only then did he remember that the annoying red dragon was about to come, and it had become the permanent resident of Wende City...... Oh my God, this is horrible!
"Seth, Sera!"
The door to the office was slammed open, and the black dragon and the maid looked over and saw the goddess of wealth with a solemn face.
The corridor outside the door was not cold, and the civil servants of the town hall walked down the corridor, their eyes couldn't help but drift to the goddess of wealth.
The maid sighed, pinched her eyebrows a little helplessly, she has been a god for so many years, and she is still so unstable, as a god, doesn't it make the believers feel uneasy to be so shocked?
As soon as she walked into the office, Latinia closed the door and shut out all the noise.
Before Cervantes and Serena could ask anything, Latinia said with a grim face, "Something's wrong!
"Huh? ”
The maid folded her hands around and leaned back in her chair as she watched as Latinia walked briskly to her desk.
"Dragons have appeared on the continent of Sloe Mendes—" Goddess of Fortune took a deep breath, "Lots of dragons!"
The maid tilted her head, looked at Cervantes sitting on the sofa, and asked with a strange expression, "A lot of dragons, and then?"
"I've got a church looted in the coastal part of the Ogordon Empire!" said Latinia, word for words.
Serena blinked and shrugged, "Hmm...... You're the goddess of wealth, and it's not surprising that your church was robbed by a dragon......."
"It's not strange, but that's not the problem!"
Latinia pursed her lips and said with a solemn expression: "It's 'a lot of dragons'! My churches and temples are not to mention spread all over the continent of Slo Mendes, but at least some of the larger cities will not lack my churches. Although I focused on developing the business of the Mendez continent, there are also many churches in the Ogordon Empire, and since half a month ago, there have been many rumors of dragon sightings around the world, but I didn't pay attention to it, until a few days ago, my priest also told me about it when he prayed to me - similar news appeared there, but mainly in cities located in coastal areas. But just this morning, my church in a coastal city in the Ogordon Empire was robbed, and most of the money in the treasury was lost, and the credibility of our church suffered a great blow for this!"
The maid knew what Latinia was talking about, and now that the Church of Fortune is in transition, temples and churches all over the continent are transforming into 'banks', and in the future, the temples and churches of the Church of Fortune will work as 'banks' and become functional buildings.
At such times, if a dragon attacks a church and succeeds in stealing a lot of money, it will be a great blow to the credibility of the Church of Fortune.
People don't see how the dragons compare to the local churches, they only see that the churches are under attack and are powerless to protect the money they keep in the vaults, so they come to the conclusion that the Church of Fortune is not credible.
Originally, the maid and the black dragon thought that what Latinia wanted to say was this problem, but who knows, she paused for a moment, and then said: "Later, I felt something strange, counted the information so far, and suddenly found that the activity of the dragon clan on the continent of Slo Mendes has increased significantly. Originally, an ordinary person may not be able to witness a giant dragon once in his life, but recently, there have been many sightings of giant dragons in coastal areas, and it is not just a trivial matter of 'seeing a giant dragon flying through the sky', and some people have even directly witnessed the giant dragon itself!"
"This, this can't be......"
Not long after Latinia's words fell, Cervantes explained in disbelief: "Most of our dragons are very lazy, many of them often live in the wild, and very few will mix with humans, and the continent of Slo Mendes is so big, people in the coastal areas can frequently witness dragons? The total number of dragons on the entire continent of Slo Mendes is less than five hundred!"
The dragons of the world of Assatom live more on the back of the continent of Slo Mendes, that is, on the southern continent on the other side of the planet, which is a wilderness, and people from both the Arcane Empire and the Ogordon Empire rarely go there, because for them, only Sloe Mendes is a civilized world, and they don't even need to conquer the southern continent to expand their territory, because it is too far away.
You can either pass through the cold hell wilderness in the south of the Mendez continent, or you can reach the southern continent through the east and west seas of the Sloe Mendes continent, so to this day, the southern continent has not had an official name.
There are only more than 400 dragons in the vast continent of Slo Mendes, and many of them are very lazy, and when they fall asleep, they may wake up in a few years, and when they wake up, the dragons will hunt for food in the nearby area, fill their stomachs and go to the next sleep.
In order not to be woken up, dragons usually stay in the deep mountains and forests that are inaccessible, because of their natural dragon power, monsters and monsters will also choose to avoid their sleeping places.
Basically, it's impossible for ordinary people to see a dragon, let alone 'frequent sightings'.
And that's still in the 'coastal area', and even black dragons like Cervantes don't like to stay by the sea, let alone other dragon species—
"Wait!"
Cervantes suddenly frowned, he seemed to think of something!
Coastal areas, dragons, frequent sightings......
Cervantes suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Southern Continent...... Something went wrong?!"
Other than that, he couldn't find any other reason to explain the actions of the dragons who had been 'sighted frequently'!
