Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 1151 - 650: Tun Autonomous Region_2
Chapter 1151: Chapter 650: Tun Autonomous Region_2
This Half-Black Dragon Lizardfolk was less concerned about the life or death of the Lizard Queen and more worried that if she were not thoroughly dead and one day reemerged, and they had already betrayed her, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for the entire Tun Marsh.
"She is indeed dead, but I have control over the Dragon Soul. Without the Dragon Soul, even the Dragon God cannot resurrect her. If she wants to come back to life, it must be with my consent." Gaven did not intend to hide this fact, knowing that once they joined his camp, they would sooner or later learn about the situation at Weizemay Manor, "As long as you don’t betray me, I guarantee she will never have a chance of resurrection, unless you wish it to happen."
Gaven was just using words to appease them, even if they desired it, he would not do it, because the cost of raising the Lizard Queen was simply too great. Eating so much every day was akin to devouring Gold Coins.
Hiring a Giant Dragon at least meant hoarding Gold Coins, which he might one day be able to extricate from their hands, despite the great difficulty of such an endeavor, it wasn’t completely impossible.
Once swallowed, however, that was true loss, with no strategy to recover.
"Even if I am willing, it won’t matter. I don’t hold such high regard in the Lizard Court, and once my brothers find out Her Majesty won’t return, it’s very likely they will challenge me, wishing to become the new king, and as a result, Tun Marsh could plunge into a civil war." Gregory’s attitude was no longer as firm as at the start, indicating his interest was piqued, he was just looking for excuses to stall. freēnovelkiss.com
"Prestige isn’t something that just falls out of the sky, it has to be built up, and I have already delivered the tools into your hands." Gaven spoke persuasively, "First, you fully control the Dragon’s Nest Treasure in your own hands. Make good use of it, exchange it for arms, arm your confidants, your people, make them the strongest force within the Blackscale Lizardman Tribe.
Second, you can assign those you feel you cannot control to the Amphibious Army, leaving us to manage and train them.
As long as you can bring a richer, more stable life to the Blackscaled Lizardfolk, provide them with more ways to obtain wealth, and offer them the hope of a better life, they will unconsciously gravitate towards you. Don’t you even have the confidence to achieve that much?
There are many ways to gain prestige, it’s not necessary to imitate the Lizard Queen’s terrifying methods, that’s the worst approach.
Anachet has given you a good excuse. You can use the extermination of the Serpent People Tribe in the entire Tun Marsh as a reason to maintain a certain number of regular troops for a long time. As long as you have enough forces in your hands, they will naturally fear you, obey you."
Gregory’s eyes were still flickering, and he couldn’t give a straightforward answer.
The Spirit Soul Naga spat a jet of venom from the sidelines, "It’s not only you who carries Kurgor blood. If you feel you can’t handle this position, no problem, I believe there are many outsides who would welcome this deal, who are willing to make small sacrifices for the future of the Blackscale Lizardman Tribe and become the new king of the Lizard Court. But whether they would restrain their own desires like the General, wholeheartedly work for a better future and development of the entire Blackscale Lizardfolk, or follow Queen Kurgor in using the Blackscale Lizardman Tribe solely for personal benefit and as a tool to satisfy their own lust, remains unknown."
The decision to support Gregory’s rise to power was not a random result from Gaven and his team, but the best candidate selected after thorough analysis of the Lizard Court through intelligence held by the Spirit Soul Naga.
In the Multiverse, many creatures are tagged with racial traits (racial personalities, behavior patterns, body types, etc.). Not just across countless mountains, even separated by Planes, these species’ appearances and racial characteristics are extremely similar, like innate signs they are born with. The stronger the Life, the more pronounced the racial label, and the Giant Dragon is a prime example. No matter their birth environment, as long as their lineage is pure, they typically display their race’s characteristics.
This is all assuming they grow freely, untouched by external forces. Once external forces intervene, they will show diverse development.
Hence, racial labels can only serve as a reference, not a standard to truly measure a creature.
Blind faith in text is worse than having no text at all. When you fully assess a Giant Dragon according to racial labels, you are not far from death.
Lizard Queen Kurgor was not only physically beyond the racial label constraints of her Dragon Species, but even in her alignment traits, there was a certain bias, moving away from the unbridled, Demon-like chaos evil typical of a regular Black Dragon towards Lawful Evil, especially in how she dealt with the Blackscale Lizardfolk—she would try to restrain her slaughterous and destructive impulses as much as possible.
However, restraining these impulses did not come from kindness or beauty, but from another desire—insatiable gluttony.
Only this way could the Blackscale Lizardfolk grow strong, hunt better, provide more food for her, and satisfy her own desires.
If the Lizard Queen herself were like this, her expectations for the Blackscale Lizardfolk below would naturally be higher: highly obedient, highly restrained, and highly loyal. Such traits are definitely not possessed by chaotic evil beings, only those who are lawful can satisfy these characteristics.
