In history, Liu Bei wandered from place to place for the first half of his life. This was not because he could not fight, nor was it because he was honest and did not know how to strategize. It was because he lacked people who knew how to govern a country and could help it develop quickly. He also lacked people who had enough foresight and could point out the direction of long-term development for him.
Zhuge Liang was such a talent. He had both. Therefore, after Liu Bei got the help of Zhuge Liang, his career finally got on the right track. He seized the opportunity when Cao Cao's southern expedition was thwarted and turned his life around. Then he entered the land of Shu. With the worthless identity of a distant relative of the former Han Dynasty, he surpassed countless aristocrats and became one of the heroes who divided the world into three parts.
Sui Xiong did not dare to compare himself with Liu Bei, but he felt that he could fight in terms of strength, and at least he was not a fool in terms of intelligence. However, after traveling to this world for so many years, he had always been a bit muddle-headed. He did not know what his future was and what he should do.
Until today, when he met Snow, the far-sighted dragon counselor, and was explained by her in a unique way with pictures and texts, he felt that the fog that had been covering his eyes was gone, and the path of his life became clear.
Therefore, he really admired and respected Snow very much. In particular, she was a lover of painting like him, which made him feel that it was rare to find a confidant.
In the words of the game, Lady Snow suddenly gained a reputation of "respect" from him, and her favorability with him soared to more than 70.
But he was still a little curious. He did not seem like a natural hero who could make people immediately bow down to him when he showed his dominance, nor did he have a very high status and wealth, which was worthy of others' loyalty. He might have a bottomless potential, but reality was not a novel. Who would work for a poor man just because he had a lot of potential?
So, why on earth did Snow like him and was willing to be his counselor?
"The reason is very simple." The Ice Dragon, who had changed back to the appearance of the fat woman in the grocery store and looked harmless, said with a smile, "As a dragon who specializes in ice, besides the dragon gods of our own race, isn't the most suitable partner the God of Ice?"
"Don't be fooled by the fact that I seem to have some skills, but I'm nothing in front of the Majesties of my own race. The difference in status makes me not qualified to communicate with them on equal terms, much less cooperate with them."
She was surrounded by cold air and turned into a transparent ice blackboard. On the white frost, there was a little dragon with its head held high and chest puffed out as if it wanted to do something great. However, it was sweating profusely in front of a few giant dragons who were surrounded by halos. It was lying on the ground like a puppy.
"There are three gods who mainly focus on ice and snow. One is a lunatic, another is a lunatic, and the last one is still a lunatic. It's nothing more than a powerful lunatic, a weak lunatic, and an even weaker lunatic. I'm not a lunatic. I don't have anything in common with a lunatic. Of course, there's no cooperation. "
On the blackboard, there were three human figures, one big and two small, whose lower bodies were made of ice and snow. They were spitting out storms and fighting each other. Their madness could be clearly seen. The little dragon looked at them from afar, and a huge bead of sweat appeared on its forehead. It helplessly put its hand on its forehead and sighed.
Sui Xiong knew who she was talking about: the Goddess of the Snowfield and Blizzard in the North, also known as the Queen of the North; the God of Snow Mountain, Avalanche, and Snow Monster, also known as the Master of Snow Mountain; and the God of Glaciers and Ice Giants, also known as the Ruler of Ice. These three gods united with the Goddess of Winter and North Wind, the Bitterly Cold Girl, and the God of Fierce Beasts in the Snowfield, the Ruler of Ice and Snow. Together, they formed a god system known as the Arctic Alliance. A group of not only evil but also confused lunatics who never acted according to the rules, but also had no logic in their actions. Not only did this group of lunatics increase their horror by several times, but it also made all the people living in the North and those who needed to go to the Northern Ice Field turn pale. It also gave the group of gods in the North, led by the barbarian guardian god, Elder Bear Herding, a headache.
In fact, the elimination rate of gods in the North was extremely high. Every thousand or eight hundred years, a god would be killed by the lunatics of the Arctic Alliance. If it weren't for the fact that these lunatics couldn't occupy the priesthood of goodness or order, the whole North would have been completely monopolized by them.
Even so, the other gods in the North still had to be careful and vigilant all the time. Once these lunatics showed signs of attacking, they would immediately run away, so as not to become the next victim.
When Sui Xiong read the information given by the God of Redemption, he saw this paragraph. At that time, he thought that if he wanted to become a god, he would obviously have the priesthood of "ice", which would make him a thorn in the side of the Arctic Alliance. At that time, in order not to be besieged and killed, he would probably have to find more helpers to fight with these lunatics.
"Our Majesties can't cooperate with us, nor can those gods of ice and cold. So when I met a god who had the power of ice, and the rarest one was actually a kind and not chaotic god, of course, I immediately thought of cooperating with him," Snow said matter-of-factly.
"Maybe when I am old and about to die, I will still choose to go to the Holy Kingdom of the Dragon God System. But at least before that, the dragon who used the power of ice and the god who controlled the power of ice … I think we will be natural friends."
On the blackboard, the little dragon saw a big jellyfish surrounded by cold wind, but it was smiling and very friendly. It immediately jumped up happily, and the two "people" went to play hand in hand.
Sui Xiong smiled. The floating jellyfish stretched out its ice palm and shook hands with the hands of the dragon who had turned into a human.
"You are right. I wish us a happy cooperation!"
"You don't have to say that. We will definitely have a happy cooperation."
… Having said that, the substantive cooperation between the two sides had not actually started yet.
As for Sui Xiong, he needed to wait for Rode's recruitment to finish before he could calculate the total number of recruited pioneers and how big the village needed to be. Then, Rode needed to continue to prepare materials, and Gerrard was responsible for escorting these pioneers to the north, passing Dragon-roar Town and continuing to the north, to the cold area where ordinary people could not survive, and to build a home under the protection of Sui Xiong.
As for Snow, she had already sent Shuang and Xian to the cold area in the north of the Ashes Woods to find a suitable place to reclaim the land. This place not only needed to be open and suitable for building villages and towns, but also needed a suitable water source, and nearby rock mountains with good stone quality and some minerals … In general, the requirements were very high. If they could not find a good place, not only would it double the time and effort, but it would also be very difficult to build a village and town.
Sui Xiong could help the pioneers to resist the cold, but he could not help them to plant the land, to make drinking water in the barren land, to provide rocks for building, and to provide them with products that could make money. Everything came from the gift of nature.
Shuang and Xian both expressed their dissatisfaction with this task. Shuang did not want to help because she did not like Sui Xiong, and Xian did not want to sleep in the basement when they went out. But under the authority of their sister Snow, the young Stone Dragon brother and sister reluctantly went out to find a suitable place to reclaim the land.
"Is it okay to let two young children go out?" Sui Xiong asked with some concern.
Although they were actually Colossal Dragons and their combat power was not weak, in this world where powerhouses were as common as trees in a forest, two ordinary young Colossal Dragons could not be considered particularly powerful experts. For example, it might be difficult for Gerrard to fight one against two. If it was one against one, the brother and sister could only choose between escaping or fighting to death. They did not even have the chance to die together.
Compared with their slightly weak fighting power, the huge value of the giant dragon itself became a huge threat. This was like a proverb on the earth: "What would happen if a child walked in the downtown alone with a precious jade in his hand?"
"You are worrying too much." Snow did not care about Sui Xiong's worries. She drew two majestic little dragons on the ice blackboard, who were punching wolves and kicking skeletons, and said with a smile, "We dragons grow up in danger and training. Because of the lack of products in the Ashes Woods, there are not many magic beasts and adventurers, so it is a very safe place to practice. As long as they do not lose their minds and cross the barren mountains, they will not encounter too much danger. "
"But you, the great Void Mask, have you forgotten something?"
"What is it?" Sui Xiong was surprised and asked.
"To build a territory, money, materials, and manpower are indispensable. We are not short of money, we can buy materials, and manpower is not a problem. However, a territory at least needs a group of officials to manage it, and your church also needs a group of clergymen. As a god, are you going to stay at home and wait for them to fall from the sky? "
On the ice blackboard, the fat jellyfish was sleeping soundly, with bubbles floating on the corner of its mouth, and its tentacles spread out to form a big net, waiting for gold coins, materials, and manpower to fall from the sky. Sui Xiong did not know whether to laugh or cry at its hopeless laziness.
He understood that Snow was reminding him to go out and find talents. But this way of reminding him was really …
Looking at the fat jellyfish on the ice blackboard, which was as fat as a pig, he did not know whether to laugh or not. Or to be angry?
The character of this ice dragon was nothing like the arrogant, indifferent, and unapproachable "ice dragon" in the legend!
Was it a rumor that had been passed down wrongly? Or was this guy Snow different?
Sui Xiong felt that when he had time, he should study biology, or at least master "dragon biology."
Of course, that was in the future. Before that, he needed to build the Holy Land, successfully become a god, and stabilize his faith. After everything was arranged properly, he had time to learn this knowledge that was not urgent.
Among all the work, the most urgent was to find talents, talents who could manage the territory.
Fortunately, there was a suitable target, so he did not need to run around the world like a headless fly, looking randomly.
A few days later, Sui Xiong created a floating jellyfish doppelganger, and without the company of any believers, he went south alone.
His goal was the "Commonwealth of Mifata" in the southernmost part of the continent, the Country of Magic. The acquaintance recommended by Satan, Knight Parne, who was born in a declining noble family and had a lot of experience in managing a territory, lived there.
