I, The Dragon Overlord - Chapter 542
Chapter 542 – Changes on the Main Continent
In Year 33 of the Dragon God Era, Andrea Abel Subila inherited the throne and became the queen of the Subila Kingdom. The first royal son Aldrich and the second royal son Amos were executed by the Queen for poisoning the late king.
In the same year, the great nobles supporting the two princes accused the queen of murdering her father and brothers and branded her as a witch. They used this excuse to launch a rebellion, but the queen had already been prepared. With the help of the new captain of the queen’s guard, Derek, and the Bishop of the Dragon God Church Bazel, she was able to quickly put down the rebellion.
The bloody night saw tens of thousands of people die. Half of the great nobles of the Subila Kingdom died under the Queen’s murderous knife, a part of the remaining great nobles fled the country, and the rest became the Queen’s staunch supporters.
In Year 34 of the Dragon God Era, the first royal daughter, Aurora Abel Subila was born to an unknown father, but there were rumors that she was the illegitimate child of Her Majesty the Queen and the Dragon God and had been blessed by the Dragon God since her birth.
In the same year, the Subila Kingdom opened up to faith. The Subila Kingdom with a population of ten million officially entered the era of the gods. Many churches of the gods poured into the Subila Kingdom to seize the country’s faith, among which the Churches of the Dragon God and the Goddess of Love and Beauty, under the care of the Queen, expanded rapidly.
At the same time, because a large number of believers appeared, several new human gods were born.
In Year 35 of the Dragon God Era, the Church of the Dragon God established a cathedral for the first time in the western part of San Soliel and appointed Bazel as the archbishop to oversee the church. Since then, the Church of the Dragon God began to enter a period of rapid development. With the church in Dragon City as the main headquarters and the churches in the Subila Kingdom and Land of Dragons as branches, the three places became the holy places for the followers of the Dragon God.
In Year 36 of the Dragon God Era, the original Subila nobles who fled from the country sold the country’s information and took advantage of the three-year period of turmoil to gather troops from thirteen lords of other countries to conquer the Subila Kingdom, in which the Church of the God of War made a great contribution.
Queen Andrea Abel Subila with the help of the Church of the Dragon God, fought against the enemy with wins and losses. Before the arrival of the reinforcements from Dragon City, the thirteen lords made peace and signed a peace treaty with the Subila Kingdom by offering the heads of the fugitive nobles.
Since then, Andrea became the sole rightful heir to the throne. She had the power to seize the throne and many kings approved of her, allowing her to completely control the Subila Kingdom.
In Year 40 of the Dragon God Era, the Dragon Kingdom’s experiment of creating rice that could grow in the Shadow Realm succeeded, thus harvesting a large amount of food, causing deflation on the price of food throughout the continent. This was a huge blow to the Church of the Goddess of Earth, causing relationships to grow even tenser.
However, this move was embraced by the lower and middle classes of the entire continent. His Highness Louie Galakrond, as the Dragon God, completely gained a firm foothold in the human divine system and the approval of the majority of humans.
In Year 43 of the Dragon God Era, the former lord of the Kingdom of Wealth announced that the entire country would be annexed by Dragon Kingdom, which meant that Dragon Kingdom had now taken over three of the kingdoms of the Seven Kingdom Alliance.
In Year 46 of the Dragon God Era, Her Royal Highness Princess Aurora Abel Subila, the first royal daughter of the Subila Kingdom at the age of twelve, with her amazing talent and devout faith, was acknowledged by a dragon and became a dragon knight on the continent, thus given the title of Dragon’s Holy Maiden by the Church of the Dragon god. Folk gossip became even more heated as this basically confirmed the rumor that she was the illegitimate child of the Dragon God.
This was because dragon knights were known to have dragon blood inside them. With a dragon’s pride, they would not allow other races to sit on their backs.
In Year 47 of the Dragon God Era, the magic network was finally established on the continent. With the efforts of the Goddess of Magic Mismisella, a basic magic network was finally established. This would help mages store spells below six rings as well as lowering the threshold of talent needed for one to become a mage.
In Year 55 of the Dragon God Era, the main continent was developing smoothly and many races have become accustomed to the existence of true gods. In the main continent, there were less than ten thousand people who remained faithless.
……
“Quick, quickly run! Why did this dragon suddenly wake up!!!”
“Oh Goddess of Morning, is this you testing my faith? For us to encounter a dragon, an adult dragon even, in this hilly area!”
A priest of the Goddess of Morning screamed loudly and prayed miserably. He ran with all his strength into the distance, trying to escape the gigantic dragon’s gaze behind him.
“Joseph, aren’t you a believer of the Dragon God?! You go and talk to that dragon, don’t let it chase us, ok? I can tell that it is a red copper dragon, so it should belong to the good dragons. You just need to reason with it, and I think we can be saved!”
This was a standard team of adventurers. The squad was composed of ten members composed of people with different professions such as warriors, priests, mages, and rangers. They were well-equipped and had a wealth of adventuring experience.
An adventure squad, as long as they were cautious, would be able to cruise many dangerous areas and obtain rich rewards.
The largest group of people in the world were adventurers. As long as they had some skill and a professional rank, they could apply as one. There were many races and monsters in the world of San Soliel, meaning that there were many precious materials that attracted the favor of adventurers.
If they were lucky, they would be able to find rare stones, crystals, or even treasures that monsters were hiding, and these often fetched high prices.. Even if they only encountered a group of dangerous monsters, as long as they reported it to the nearby city, they would still be able to get a considerable amount of money from the information. The adventuring occupation had a high death and injury rate, but countless people would still rush head-on.
It was also thanks to these adventurers that San Soliel could be more colorful and magical.
As long as one was cautious enough, it would be difficult to encounter danger. This time, they finally encountered a dangerous situation as they inadvertently intruded into the territory of an adult bronze dragon. They had accidentally woken up this bronze dragon and thus were chased by it after it woke up in anger.
“Bullshit! How could I communicate with it rationally? Who knows if this bronze dragon even believes in my Lord or Her Highness Heloise?! Even if it believes in my Lord, now that the dragon thinks we are trying to steal its treasure, a dragon in this situation has no reason to speak of. Even if my Lord was here, this dragon would dare extend its claws! Oh Dragon God above, I didn’t mean to offend you!”
The devotee of the Dragon God named Joseph, who was also a priest, roared out loud while also praying with the devotee of the Goddess of Morning beside him.
Because Louie possessed the divine authority of life, adventurers liked to invite the priests of the Goddess of Morning and the Dragon God. Although other gods’ priests also possessed healing skills, the priests of the two gods were more specialized in this area.
To be able to get two priests together meant that this adventurer squad was an elite force, but unfortunately, they met an adult dragon who suspected them of coming to steal treasures. Even if the elite squad faced a dragon, they wouldn’t be able to do much.
In the distance, a silver dragon had also reached this hill, and on its back stood a noble and awe-inspiring young girl.
