"Yes, compared to the Evil Dragon Mother, I am more willing to listen to the guidance and teachings of the Platinum Dragon God."
Caesar looked at the Legendary Ancient Dragon in front of him and shook his head, "But if His Majesty Bahamut investigates carefully, he will discover that due to some special reason, I am temporarily unable to provide faith to the great Platinum Dragon God. It is very regrettable."
"I think you seem to have some misunderstandings.
Caesar. "Stannis looked into his eyes. The two dragons looked at each other.
The golden dragon's voice was gentle but did not lose its majesty, "'Faith' is actually just my one-sided words.
In fact, even His Majesty does not care about this.
As long as you agree with the ideals of the Platinum Dragon God and carry out the teachings of the Good Dragon King, after the test of time, you can become one of us.
Even if you are a dragon with a variant body that cannot provide faith, His Majesty Bahamut will not reject you. "
"You must know that we are not doing this for benefits."
Well said.
Caesar nodded to himself. At least in the matter of dealing with variant bodies, Bahamut was much better than Tiamat.
However, the Platinum Dragon God was the King of Good Dragons. His doctrines and ideals were true and pure justice, including but not limited to equality and friendliness, protecting the weak, punishing evil … Regardless of the reason, believers could not betray their doctrines to achieve their goals.
This concept sounded beautiful, but Caesar could not put it into practice. Putting aside the fact that he could not achieve such pure kindness and justice, this guy was not alone now. He was the emperor of Blackwing's Nest, the Northern Kingdoms.
Following the teachings of the Platinum Dragon God might be able to become a revered example of justice, but he would definitely not be able to become a qualified ruler.
This was because the hearts of those who played politics were all dirty. As a ruler, what they pursued was benefits. In this, it was very difficult to distinguish right from wrong with pure good and evil.
For example, if the Northern Kingdoms were unable to be self-sufficient and food was more precious than life, and at this time, intelligence showed that another kingdom had a large amount of food stockpiled, would the Black Dragon Lord rob it?
If the population of the Blackwing Empire was saturated in the future, Caesar would have to expand his territory, and his territory would be occupied by other kingdoms, would the Black Dragon Lord start a war?
If there is a choice, yes.
That would definitely go against the teachings of the Platinum Dragon God and hurt the other countries. However, if they did not take action, the Black Wing Empire would not be able to hold on. It was unknown how many people would lose their lives in the famine and chaos.
Therefore, Caesar couldn't do it.
Of course, the Black Dragon could not directly reject Stannis, so he used the human way of negotiating. "You are right, Gold Dragon. If possible, I will do my best to follow the ideals of the Platinum Dragon God and push myself."
"I hope so."
An ancient golden dragon that had lived for a thousand years was not so easily deceived. Moreover, Stannis was a follower of the Platinum Dragon God and was more intelligent than the average golden dragon. That was why he could easily tell that the Black Dragon was trying to evade the responsibility.
However, in his opinion, this was not important. As long as the Black Dragon Lord did not directly reject him, it was fine. The other party was not an evil dragon that believed in the evil path of Tiamat. From the short conversation, Stannis could tell that the Black Dragon Caesar did indeed respect the Platinum Dragon God and had a slight yearning for it. That was enough.
Stannis believed that His Majesty would sooner or later let this Black Dragon with great potential in front of him embark on their path of ultimate good. The Platinum Dragon God's vision could see through appearances and see the essence of things. That was why they knew very well that this so-called "Dragon King" was actually just a young dragon. To be honest, when he first heard this, even the knowledgeable Stannis found it hard to believe.
Regarding the judgment of the Black Dragon Caesar, whether it was the ancient golden dragon Stannis or the Platinum Dragon God Bahamut, they did not think that they were wrong. That was because judging from the Black Dragon's actions so far, the Black Dragon's actions had a clear purpose and would not do evil because of his emotions. This made them feel that Caesar was not a hopeless Pentashade Dragon and that there was a possibility of guiding him to the right path.
After a back and forth exchange of pleasantries, Stannis' goal was almost achieved. That was why he gradually changed the topic and asked the Black Dragon to visit his territory to test him further.
This was absolutely impossible for the Pentashade Dragons. The stinginess and narrow-mindedness of the Pentashade Dragons did not allow them to do so. However, Caesar was very generous and allowed Stannis to visit the Blackwing Kingdom as he wished. He even allowed the golden dragon to visit the Blackwing Clan's living conditions.
When he saw the humans under the rule of the Black Dragon Lord, Stannis did not feel that there was any problem. After all, one's position determined one's head. He was a dragon and naturally would not stand up for the humans when Caesar did not do anything that angered the heavens.
To be honest, when he saw the humans submitting to the dragons, Stannis did not know why but he felt a little satisfied.
However, that was all. The Blackwing Kingdom was in the process of being rebuilt. In the eyes of the ancient golden dragon who had traveled all over the continent and even the Astral Plane, it did not feel that there was anything strange about it. It could only be said to be average.
This was a city that was barely decent in the north of Airadia. That was all.
However, after seeing the Blackwing Clan, the ancient golden dragon Stannis suddenly felt a little uneasy and could not help but mutter in his heart. Although in his eyes, the Orcs, Gnolls, Hound Demons and Wyverns were all trash, their strict and orderly living conditions made Stannis have no choice but to pay attention to them.
He felt that there was a need to report this to His Majesty Bahamut.
It was not that Stannis had not seen the Pentashade Dragons before. He had even dealt with the Pentashade Dragons that were more powerful and ferocious than the Black Dragon Caesar. He had also broken out in war, but such a system and living conditions among his kin was unique. It was definitely impossible for the other Pentashade Dragons to do so.
After sending off the Legendary ancient golden dragon who left in a hurry, the figure of the leader of the Gnolls appeared in front of Caesar. Hogg held a piece of parchment in his hand and came forward to report the situation.
He was the kin who understood the Black Dragon Lord the most and knew Caesar's habits and preferences, so he did not say much and directly reported in the simplest way, "Your Majesty, the publicity department set up by the bards has begun to show results."
Hogg took the initiative to point out the topic and then added, "After Barrett left the Northern Kingdoms, he has been recruiting bards everywhere he went. We have seen the results. The rumor that the God of the Hunt is about to descend has begun to spread everywhere."
"However, according to our evaluation, Barrett has been recruiting bards with all his might. It seems that he is expanding his power privately. Your Majesty, should we reduce the financial support given to him?"
"No need. The previous evaluation of the budget is not less. Give it all to him."
Caesar shook his head and said, "As long as this guy can do this well, it doesn't matter if there are more publicity departments. It will also be good for the future work.
However, if Barrett does not spread the news to the south within two months … "
"Our shapeshifters are always by his side." Hogg lowered his head and said softly.
"Very good."
