I, The Dragon Overlord - Chapter 486
Chapter 486 – Danluciel’s Life
“Lady Danluciel, I think we need to have a talk.”
After Louie dealt with all of his matters and bade farewell to the Goddess of Love and Beauty, he walked toward Danluciel.
Danluciel’s appearance was an unexpected yet pleasant surprise for Louie. The divine domain of wealth was quite promising as one could reach mid-tier with it. Moreover with how wealth and dragons were usually associated together in this world, having the future God of Wealth become his subordinate god was not at odds with his nature.
This would not only allow Louie to expand his divine system, but also allow Louie to become more deeply rooted in the human system.
The blonde woman who was leaning on the sofa wrapped in her clothes was slightly confused at the situation. Her eyes shone like gold coins as she sat on the edge of the sofa with her legs bent. Her golden dress covered only the upper half of her body, revealing her tender long legs and bare feet. 6444
“Your Highness Louie, what do you want to talk about?”
Danluciel hastily squeezed out a smile and spoke in a humble tone when she saw Louie approach.
She actually wanted to address Louie as the Lord God, but she also knew that she was just a demigod at the moment. There was still quite a long way before she could ascend. If she succeeded, she would achieve immortality, and if she failed, the divine fire would consume her entirety.
She was not yet used to a god’s way of living, but she was trying hard to get used to it, especially in the Temple of Brightwater which was a place full of love and lust.
Danluciel did not feel any sadness about losing her first time. In this world with nobles, a lot of people had physical relationships.
Moreover, Danluceil felt that this was a blessing because she was having a relationship with a true god, a powerful true god. This kind of good thing would never have occurred if Danluciel had not come to the Temple of Brightwater. It had to be known that the chances of meeting a true god outside their divine kingdom were ridiculously low.
And having a relationship with one’s future lord could also make their relationship more intimate. One could even get certain preferential treatments.
Danluciel couldn’t help but think of her past life.
She was born four hundred years ago before the Capital of Wealth was even called that. The city had been filled with sin and poverty, and Danluciel was born in the slums of this dilapidated city. She did not know who her father was nor did she know her mother. When she became conscious of everything, she was already forced to make a living in the slums.
In order to survive, she learned how to steal. Even when she got caught and was beaten up, she didn’t stop. As a result, she gradually discovered that she had a great talent for the craft. She slowly became a powerful thief and even mastered the means of assassination.
The process had been arduous, but she became the leader of the thieves in that sin-filled city. Although it was an inglorious identity, she no longer needed to struggle and risk her life for just a piece of black bread.
In the process of stealing, Danluciel became obsessed with wealth, causing the worldview of wealth being everything to be born in her heart.
In the course of events, she had spent her life as a fairly good thief, but when she returned to the slums and saw the children who were as miserable as her past self, she suddenly had the idea to change everything.
Having an idea meant having motivation, and with motivation, a human’s innate talent would be completely stimulated. First, she obtained money to start an operation through theft and subordinates. Then she used the funds to start her operations. Her talent in handling money and gaining wealth blossomed to the fullest. Decades of hard work and perseverance allowed her to accumulate a staggering fortune. This allowed her to gain control of the majority of the city’s industry. Her popularity allowed her to become a legend.
Afterward, the lady used economic means to bloodlessly get rid of the corrupt and greedy nobles, thus allowing her to become the master of the city. She was considered a qualified ruler, but she was even more qualified as a businessman. She had treated the city she was born in as a ‘company’. With a keen eye for business opportunities, she had made the city rich through various speculative means.
Since then, the once poor and backward city became the Capital of Wealth under her leadership. The city’s residents had also mostly turned into merchants.
The Capital of Wealth did not have a strong military power, so they could only use the money to hire mercenaries and adventurers. The Capital of Wealth also did not have any self-production capabilities, so they completely relied on the merchants to travel all over the world and bring goods back, allowing the city to function properly.
This was a true merchant-based, wealth-worshiping city. After developing for centuries, the people of the city gradually worshiped her as the Lady of Wealth and developed a faith.
At first, Danluciel did not yet feel these because the gods were still asleep. She also learned that all the demigods that attempted to become gods had failed and died.
At that time, Danluciel had used wealth to gather information and obtain a strand of divinity. Her own strength at that time had also reached legendary rank, but she knew that becoming a demigod was no easy matter. With such a large chance of failure, Danluciel was not yet ready to try.
It wasn’t until the appearance of Dragon City that she became alert. In less than twenty years, the city was about to take away the title of being the capital of wealth. As a result, she treated Louie as a rival. At that time, everyone saw Louie as a powerful demigod primordial dragon, but because the difference in level was not yet too huge and Danluciel herself was infinitely close to being a demigod, she was not yet in a rush.
However, no one would have imagined that the gods would wake up so soon. As a result, Louie had directly crossed the threshold and become a true god. In one fell swoop, many gods had been revived, but Louie was the only ‘new god’ who was among the strongest of the gods. From this moment on, Danluciel knew that she was already no match for Louie. They were simply not on the same level anymore.
Therefore, when Danbusil and Selar wanted to launch an invasion of Dragon City, she did not hesitate to vote against it, even if she knew that the two countries were backed by powerful gods.
The final results were as she had expected. Danbusil and Selar were annexed, turning Dragon City into a kingdom, and she, the ruler of the Capital of wealth, had completely lost any chance to compete.
But it was this development that made Danluciel, who had worked hard for over 400 years to desire the divine throne of the God of Wealth even more.
In order to accomplish her ambition, she forcibly took in the divinity she possessed and rose to become a demigod. With the foundation of immortality and the faith of the people in the Capital of Wealth, she already possessed the foundations to become a god.
Danluciel knew that she would have to be quick in ascending to become a god, otherwise, the faithful in her city would be at a loss and fall into the arms of other gods. She was only a demigod, a false god, and those who had truly ascended were the true gods.
She was willing to give everything she had to fulfill her ambitions.
Thinking of this, her gaze became more fervent. She wanted to cling to the thigh of the Dragon God in front of her and become his lover. To become a god was simply the ultimate dream of all mortals!
