Beneath the Red Dragon

But through the Imperial's influence and long-term positive evolutionary iterations, the Golden Goblins have become as strong and tall as their wild cousins, the Earth Goblins, and are far smarter than these wild cousins.

The chaotic attributes of the goblin race have gradually been assimilated by the order of the Empire. The new generation of goblins has become a completely collective mutation.

This has become a relatively concerning major topic within the civilization's influence and order assimilation research topics of the Golden Empire. Even the Ancestral Red Dragon is quite interested in the research and the academic discussions it has sparked.

Because it implies that perhaps the vast majority of biological races in the world can be guided towards collective evolution and positive mutation, requiring only time and a stable environment as the cost.

As the Golden Empire rises step by step, especially in the months following the Green Algae River Alliance, it has attracted countless eyes from the surrounding areas.

Aside from the influx of humans beginning to be controlled by other civilized forces of the Northern Lands, the proportion of other intelligent races within the Golden Empire is starting to increase.

On the unexplored wasteland, goblins, ogres, and trolls have been entering the Golden Empire's territory at an unprecedented speed, one nest after another.

Even some races from the Frost Plains, like the Yetis and Frost Giants, have started stepping into the Golden Empire.

In the increasingly complex and diverse Empire, conflicts are beginning to multiply, consuming much of the Giant Dragon Lords' energy.

The Golden Dogman and Golden Goblins Within the Imperial, for instance, have begun to refuse to acknowledge those wild counterparts as part of their same race.

Not only do the races of the Golden Empire hold themselves in high esteem, but they also reject outsiders of the same bloodline.

Some officials from the goblin and dogman races have even begun attempting to propose to the Imperial Central Council that those foreign goblins and dogmen be demoted to slaves, undergoing transformation and evolution to stand equal with the Empire's native races.

Fortunately, the Golden Empire has never penalized by words. These officials were merely scolded by their superiors, saying it affects the Empire's cultural cohesion and racial unity and were fined several hundred Copper Coins as punishment.

Recently, Red Copper Dragon Lord Alfred has been troubled by this, trying to devise a better propaganda strategy to aid in resolving such conflicts.

The second population census plan of the Golden Empire was thus incorporated into the program under Red Copper Dragon Alfred's suggestion.

Karon Gogomola, the Emperor of the Empire, quietly observes the changes in his Empire, without offering any opinion, simply allowing the Giant Dragon Lords and the Empire's officials to manage as they see fit.

Whether it's the natural evolution of social form consciousness or the Black Hand's influence attracted due to high visibility, in the Emperor's eyes, neither seems as intriguing as discussing how to print new cards with Pikku Little Elf Riven.

Though most other officials of the Empire are unaware, those Giant Dragon Lords at the pinnacle of all creatures and classes in the Empire clearly understand the underlying reasons.

Not only is the Ancestral Red Dragon digesting its gains, but the Empire is also secretly absorbing the outcomes it obtained from managing wanes.

The pace of the outside world cannot impact the internal development rhythm of the Golden Empire because the Empire's stride is the will of the dragons.

With the two Blue Dragons and the adolescent White Dragon Roni entering a dormant state, the Giant Dragons of the Dragon Group ushered in a rather dark period.

Contrary to the stable state maintained when Karon left with the Dragon Group, the Golden Empire is now both digesting and developing.

Fog Dragon Deniro, the dragon overseeing territorial defense, has barely lain in its newly constructed nest a few times. It's always busy traversing the Teleportation Arrays among various provincial cities, so much so that this Fog Dragon has recently contracted teleportation array motion sickness.

Of course, when this Fog Dragon rarely asked the Ancestral Red Dragon for leave, it was denied.

The Ancestral Red Dragon didn't wish to burden itself and thus burdened this Fog Dragon, which always carried high aspirations.

As Fog Dragon Deniro just stepped out of the Dragon King's Castle, the Ancestral Red Dragon summoned the Imperial history compilation officials. He had them quickly write down Deniro's contributions to the Empire, then praised it lavishly.

Then the Ancestral Red Dragon ordered his maid Charlize to deliver this manuscript to Fog Dragon Deniro, and a miraculous thing happened.

Fog Dragon Deniro's motion sickness unexpectedly healed.

Thus, in the admiring gaze of his political aide (scapegoat) Charlize, the Ancestral Red Dragon earned the title of Empire's Divine Doctor.

Little Elf Riven even shouted mockingly about printing a Divine Doctor Karon card on the newly released card, but was mercilessly suppressed by the Ancestral Red Dragon with a single claw, trapped in endless endearment.

Along with Pikku Little Elf, there was also Little Achilles protesting with a pout.

Achilles was easily suppressed by Karon's tail. In fact, Karon's weight is now calculated in thousands of tons. If Karon didn't deliberately control it, even half of his tail could crush the Empire's future Behemoth into a meat patty.

Little Achilles' protests to the Ancestral Red Dragon came from a sense of betrayal and deception.

This little guy requested the Ancestral Red Dragon to take the little bell hanging as a wind chime on the study's door.

Nevertheless, the Ancestral Red Dragon, who saw through Achilles' intentions, did not permit it, though not because of the inherent greed and possessiveness of a giant dragon.

But because this bell was forged with powerful group transformation magic as its foundation, being too powerful, it would be a small person holding a sharp sword, showing off.
