Chapter 1132 You"re A Shameless Dragon!
-----
However, if I let them take this for granted, it will also be bad. If they rely too much on me, there can"t be true balance. I"ll be maintaining them all, and that"s not my plan. I want to support them, but I also want to see them do it themselves. And well, I cannot just waste all my divine power creating food and only food, eventually it"ll run out if they never do a thing… maybe in like ten years, but yeah, it will eventually run out. Also there"s more uses to divine power for me than just making food!
"However, there"s a limit to this power. I cannot do this endlessly; I do not possess endless mana after all." I sighed.
Although I know a little elf girl that has, but she cannot give Mana to others without harming them anyways, so that cannot be something to really consider.
"This is a power the Frost Queen gave me to resolve immediate problems, but I won"t be able to maintain you long term. I"ll use this power to support you, and then help you redevelop your crops and hunting grounds." I said with confidence. "In exchange, you will give me your loyalty and if I ever need your aid, you will give it to me."
The Emperor and the rest of the governors looked at me with shocked eyes.
"…Fine." Sighed the Emperor. "I"ll let you have your way. For now, if things stay the same in two years from now… then I won"t trust you anymore."
"More than enough time." I nodded with a smile.
Meanwhile, the West Kingdom Alliance was brought to tears.
"L-Lord Drake!"
"To think you would go this far for us…"
"Not only us, everyone else here…!"
It"ll be a lot of work, but yeah, I am willing to help them, I suppose.
It is a nice thing that I can create doppelgangers and slimes, or even summon powerful spirits with ease now, by the dozens or even hundreds.
"I won"t do this completely for free though. I have my own family here that I must take care of too. My powers are also limited. I don"t intend to exhaust myself and ruin my life for you. In exchange for my aid, you will give me a 10% of your gains, money, resources, everything, once I manage to help your Kingdoms and you finally begin to produce resources." I said. "Deal?"
"Ahh… Of course!"
"Even such a deal is so humble, I would had expected more…"
"Thank you!"
With that done, we signed a few contracts about this as I learned more about their situation. I decided to give them food supplies of vegies and monster meat, around fifty million units should be fine, their kingdoms, even if all counted together, didn"t had a population of more than two million.
Alongside that, I"ll send a wave of Harvest Spirits, Hunting Spirits, and Guardian Spirits of all shapes and forms, controlled by my Sect Members to both hunt down monsters that took over villages and also thin down the quant.i.ty of monsters inside nearby dungeons, to restore the crops and boost their growth speed, and then to protect the said areas.
"Anybody else is in need for this contract? Food supplies will arrive within four to five days to your countries, also, I"ll be lending you a squad of my strongest sect members, which will come accompanied by powerful Spirits they have, and tamed monsters to protect. The whole plan is simple, I"ll offer food, monster extermination help, crop growth boost, and protection… After you begin producing your resources, you"ll give me 10% of all."
I was being overly nice here because it wasn"t as if I was losing too much anyways.
"I want to!"
"My Kingdom is almost on ruins!"
"My Sect is suffering from great hunger…"
"Monsters have continued attacking our territory, many of my soldiers have perished against them…"
"Rank 5 Dungeon Bosses had gone out of their dungeons and have taken over one of my duchies, please can you help me take them down? I"ll pay you anything you want!"
Good, this is how it"s done.
In just a few words and actions, I"ve taken over the entire mortal world.
I guess coming here wasn"t wasted at all at the end.
"Of course, there"s another condition. The Frost Queen asks for her religion to be changed; you must also worship the Legendary Dragon King." I quickly brought out a small statue of my dragon appearance. "This Legendary Dragon King represents a guardian of all innocents. He is the familiar of the frost queen, so please add this statue to your churches or anything of the sort."
"V-Very well…"
"That seems very easy."
"A Dragon King, how glorious and strong he looks!"
"He seems brave, he might be a good luck charm!"
"Hmph… I"ve never heard about this dragon king, but we do worship ancient dragons in my Empire. We"ll take it as well."
"Good, good! Please, take as many as you want! They"re all for free! Worship him for good luck, your crops will grow ten times as fast- no, a hundred times as fast if you do!"
Like that, I"ve planted the seeds to get millions of new worshipers. Which, in the long run, means I"ll be ranking on ma.s.sive amounts of divine power through their prayers every day!
Bwahahaha! I"ve made it now!
Benladann and Miranda seemed to have noticed my cunningness.
"I guess you never change…" Benladann sighed.
"A-Amazing, he really just convinced everyone…" Miranda was impressed.
Meanwhile, the Frost Queen spoke to me through telepathy.
"To think you would use my own mark to advertise your religion! You"re a shameless dragon, Drake!" She said rather frustratedly. "But you"ve done something amazing. Thanks for helping my children find the light they needed. I guess I can allow them to worship you in the sides, the divine power is what you need after all, it is a win-win situation."
She seemed pleased, thankfully.
