Historically, Liu Bei spent the first half of his life wandering around. This was definitely not because he could not fight, nor was it because he was honest and did not understand strategies. It was because he lacked talents who knew how to govern the country and could help the rapid development of his people, and he also lacked enough foresight to be able to provide for the country. Talent that points the way to long-term development.
Zhuge Liang is such a talent, having both. Therefore, after Liu Bei got help from Zhuge Liang, his career finally got on track. He seized the opportunity of Cao Cao's setback in his southern expedition and turned around in one fell swoop. Then he took over the land of Shu, and as a worthless "distant clan member of the former Han Dynasty", he surpassed countless nobles and powerful men and became one of the heroes in one third of the world.
Sui Xiong did not dare to compare himself with Liu Bei, but he felt that he was capable of fighting in terms of force, and at least he was not a fool in terms of intelligence. However, after traveling to this world for so many years, he was still a little confused and did not know what the future was like. What to do.
It wasn't until today that he met Xuehua, a far-sighted dragon counselor, and was explained in a unique way with pictures and texts, that he felt that the fog that had been covering his eyes dissipated and the path of life became clear.
So he really admired and respected Xuehua very much. Especially since the other person is a painting enthusiast like him, this makes him feel like a rare confidant.
In game parlance, Ms. Snowflake suddenly gained a "respected" reputation with him, and her favorability level soared to at least seventy or more.
But he is still a little curious: he does not seem to be a born hero, and everyone will immediately bow to him when he becomes domineering; nor does he have a high wealth and status worthy of others' loyalty; speaking of bottomless potential, Maybe, but reality is not fiction. Who would become a poor man's subordinate just because he has great potential
So, why did Xuehua take a fancy to herself and be willing to be her adviser
"The reason is very simple." The giant ice dragon, who has returned to the appearance of the fat lady in the grocery store and looks harmless to humans and animals, said with a smile, "As a dragon clan whose specialty is the direction of ice, in addition to the dragon god of the clan, Besides us, isn’t the most suitable partner the God of Ice?”
"It may seem that I have some abilities, but I am nothing in front of your majesties. The gap in status means that I am not qualified to communicate with them on an equal footing, let alone cooperate."
The cold air around her turned into a transparent blackboard of ice. The white frost drew a little dragon on it with its head raised and chest raised as if it wanted to make a big difference. However, it fell in front of several sweating giant dragons surrounded by haloes and bowed down. , lying on the ground like a puppy.
"There are three gods with cold, ice and snow as their main directions. One is a madman, the other is a madman, and the last one is still a madman. They are nothing more than a powerful madman, a weak madman, and an even weaker madman. I am not a madman, and the last one is a madman. Madmen really have no common language, and of course there is no cooperation.”
On the blackboard, there are three human figures with lower bodies made of ice and snow, one large, two small, and they are blowing storms everywhere, fighting each other constantly, and the madness is clearly visible. The little dragon looked at them from a distance, with a huge bead of sweat on his forehead. He put his hand on his forehead helplessly and sighed.
Sui Xiong knew who she was talking about: the goddess of snowfields and blizzards in the north, also known as the "Queen of the North"; the god of snowy mountains, avalanches and snow monsters, also known as the "Master of Snow Mountains"; the god of glaciers and ice giants, also known as "Ice" dominate". These three gods joined forces with the goddess of winter and the north wind, "Frigid Maiden", and the god of fierce beasts in the snow, "Snow Overlord", to form a pantheon called the "Extreme Cold Alliance". A group of lunatics who are not only evil but also have chaotic thinking, never play their cards according to the rules, and do things with absolutely no logic at all, have not only made the level of terror several times greater, but also made everyone living in the Northland and those who need to go to the northern ice fields get together. The people's expressions changed when they heard this, and it also gave the group of gods in the North, headed by the "Elder Bear Shepherd", the patron saint of the barbarians, a headache.
In fact, the elimination rate of the gods in the North is extremely high. Every thousand or eight hundred years, a god is killed by the madmen of the Extreme Cold Alliance. If it weren't for this group of lunatics who couldn't occupy those priests in the direction of kindness or order, the entire Northland would have been completely monopolized by them.
Even so, the other gods in the North still need to be on guard at all times and be careful. Once these madmen show signs of attacking, they should run away immediately to avoid becoming the next victim.
When Sui Xiong read the information given by the God of Redemption, he saw this paragraph and thought at that time that if he wanted to become a god, he would obviously have the "Ice" priesthood, and he was afraid that he would become a thorn in the side of the Extreme Cold Alliance. In order not to be besieged and perish by then, I'm afraid I'll have to find more helpers and have a go at it with this group of lunatics.
"My majesties cannot cooperate, and neither can the gods of ice, snow, and cold. So when I meet a god who has the power of ice, and the most rare thing is that he is kind and not from the chaos camp, of course... I immediately thought of cooperating with Him." Xuehua said matter-of-factly.
"Perhaps when I get old and die, I will still choose to go to the Kingdom of the Dragon God System, but at least before that, the dragons who use the power of ice and the gods who control the power of ice... I think, we They will be natural friends.”
On the blackboard, Xiaolong met a big jellyfish that was surrounded by cold wind but had a friendly smile. He immediately jumped up happily, and the two "people" went hand in hand to play.
Sui Xiong smiled. The floating jellyfish stretched out its ice palm and held hands with the giant dragon that turned into a human.
"You are right, I wish us a happy cooperation!"
"There is no need to say this. We will definitely cooperate happily."
... Having said that, substantive cooperation between the two parties has not yet been carried out.
Sui Xiong needs to wait for Rhodes' recruitment work to come to an end before he can count how many pioneers have been recruited and how big of a village needs to be opened. Then Rhodes still needs to continue to prepare supplies, and Gerald will be responsible for escorting these pioneers north, past Longhou Town and continuing north to the cold zone where ordinary people cannot survive, and build their homes under the protection of Sui Xiong.
As for Snowflake, she has sent Frost and Hail to the cold areas in the northern part of the Ash Forest to find suitable reclamation sites. This place not only needs open terrain suitable for building villages and towns, but also needs a suitable water source, and there must be rock mountains with good quality and some minerals nearby... Generally speaking, the requirements are very high. If you can't find a good location, it will not only be doubled. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it will also become very difficult to expand the scale of villages and towns.
Sui Xiong could help the pioneers keep out the cold, but he couldn't help them farm the land, couldn't produce drinking water in the barren land, couldn't provide rocks for construction, and couldn't provide profitable products. Everything comes from the gifts of nature.
Shuang and Xie both expressed dissatisfaction with this task. Shuang didn't want to help because she didn't like Sui Xiong, and Xie didn't want to sleep under the quilt in the basement because she couldn't go out. But under the authority of their sister Xuehua, the young rock dragon brother and sister still reluctantly went out and looked for suitable reclamation sites separately.
"Is it okay to let two such young children go out?" Sui Xiong asked worriedly.
Although they are actually giant dragons and their combat power is not weak, in this world where there are many strong people, two young ordinary dragons are not particularly powerful masters. For example, Gerald, it might be difficult to fight one against two. If one versus one, the brother and sister can only choose between escaping or dying in battle, and they don't even have the chance to die.
Compared with their slightly weak force, the huge value contained in the dragon itself has become a huge threat. This is just like the proverb on earth: a child holds a precious jade and walks alone in a busy city. What will happen
"You're too worried." Xuehua disagreed with Sui Xiong's worries. She drew two majestic little dragons on the ice blackboard, punching a wolf and kicking a skeleton, and said with a smile, "We, the dragon clan, are originally They have to grow up in danger and hardship. Due to the lack of products, there are not many Warcraft and adventurers in the Ash Forest, so it is already a very safe place for experience. As long as they don't get confused and cross the barren mountains, they won't encounter too many Big danger.”
"It's you, the great Mask of the Void, have you forgotten something?"
"What's the matter?" Sui Xiong was stunned and asked.
"To build a territory, financial, material, and human resources are indispensable. We have no shortage of money, materials can be purchased, and manpower is not a problem. However, a territory needs at least a group of officials to manage it. Your church also needs We need a group of priests. As a god, are you just going to stay at home and wait for them to fall from the sky?"
On the ice blackboard, a fat jellyfish is sleeping soundly, with bubbles symbolizing deep sleep floating in the corner of its mouth. Its tentacles are spread out to form a large net, waiting for gold coins, supplies and people to fall from the sky. That look of hopeless laziness made Sui Xiong dumbfounded.
He understood that Xuehua meant well and reminded him that he should go out and look for talents. But this reminder method is really...
Looking at the fat jellyfish on the ice blackboard that was as fat as a pig, he really didn't know whether he should laugh? Or should I be angry
The character of this ice dragon is completely different from the legendary "Ice Dragon" who is arrogant, cold and unapproachable!
Is it because the legend is spread by false rumors? Or is Snowflake an anomaly
Sui Xiong felt that when he had free time, he should study biology carefully, and at least master "dragon biology".
Of course, that's all in the future. Before that, he needed to build the holy land, successfully enshrine the gods, and stabilize his faith. After everything is arranged, you can have time to learn these non-urgent knowledge.
Among all the tasks, the most urgent thing is to collect talents, talents who can manage the territory.
Fortunately, this one has a suitable target, and you don't need to run around the world like a headless fly, looking for it randomly.
A few days later, Sui Xiong split into a clone of the plankton jellyfish and headed south alone without being accompanied by any believers.
His target was the "Mystic Tower Federation", a country of magic located at the southernmost tip of the continent. The acquaintance recommended by Satan, the Knight Parn who was born in a declining noble and had considerable experience in managing the territory, lived there.
