Chapter 197 Golden Dragon Governor
As the days passed, Thor's territory became increasingly lively.
More and more creatures gathered, not only from various tribes in the wilderness, but also from some of Thor's own men, all eager to fight and fully prepared.
Even some intelligent monsters that are not human have gathered here. This is because the invitation sent out did not specify that the invitee must be a humanoid creature.
Thor treated all the creatures that came without discrimination, embracing a spirit of openness and acceptance.
After all, whether it's a black cat or a white cat, as long as it can provide him with spiritual essence and create wealth, it's a good cat. As for appearance, that's not that important.
Compared to the various monsters and humanoid creatures in the wilderness, real humans are undoubtedly much more wary.
So far, only a few humans have appeared in Thor's territory, and none of them have ventured deep into it, merely lingering on the outskirts.
They were observing, verifying the authenticity of the messages and assessing whether Red Dragon was trustworthy. They planned to decide whether to delve deeper or leave after gaining a sufficient understanding.
This process shouldn't last too long. Once the first person dares to take the plunge, others will naturally become bolder as well.
At the foot of the volcano, in the largest plaza made of a mixture of obsidian and basalt, free dark bread and water have been laid out.
Piles of black bread were stacked high like small mountains. They were made by grinding various wheat, beans and other grains, adding a small amount of grass stems and sawdust into powder, mixing it with water and a little salt, and then baking it directly.
Because they are not fermented, these dark breads are extremely hard. If they didn't soften after being wetted, they could practically be used as bricks to build walls.
At the same time, these black breads were not baked with fire, but rather a hole was dug directly at the foot of the volcano where Thor lived.
The heat from the magma dissipates through the mountain, and the temperature can reach hundreds of degrees Celsius without digging too deep.
This temperature is high enough to denature proteins; raw meat placed here will be cooked directly. If you throw in kneaded dough, it will turn into baked bread in a short while.
Ordinary creatures cannot withstand the high temperatures here, so all the chefs are kobolds influenced by Thor.
When Thor's name spread throughout the wilderness and the nearby Underdark, almost all the kobolds in that area came to join him.
Therefore, although some of them died and were eliminated due to the curse of the Mad Dragon, their overall numbers not only did not decrease, but actually increased.
When Thor decided to continue allocating resources to them, providing them with a certain amount of dragon crystal dust and dragon slaying fruit dilution, this species underwent rapid changes. Not only did their scales become more vibrant and thicker, but their height also gradually increased, showing a strong tendency to evolve from small creatures into medium-sized creatures.
Thanks to their innate loyalty and their lawful evil origins, they are better able to carry out Thor's arrangements and orders. Now, almost all kinds of miscellaneous matters in the entire territory are handled by these kobolds.
As for those kobolds who went further, they naturally rose to become managers, responsible for conveying, executing, and supervising Thor's every order.
The more creatures in a territory, the more frequent the conflicts will naturally become.
Lawful evil creatures are alright, because their race has a strict hierarchy, so they naturally know what it means to obey orders and will restrain their behavior.
Those creatures that are inherently chaotic and evil have no organization or discipline, act impulsively, and prefer to live by instinct.
In the wilderness, chaotic and evil creatures overwhelmingly outnumber the rest, naturally becoming sources of chaos and constantly creating trouble of all sizes.
Faced with these unruly creatures, Thor immediately issued an order: private fighting is forbidden within the territory, and violators will be directly demoted to slaves.
Every day, packs of gnolls roam the territory like wild dogs. Once they sense the "blood" of a fight, they swarm in and subdue both sides.
These controlled creatures will then be sent into the enormous arena, where their blood and lives will be used to commemorate the arena's grand opening ceremony.
Even so, the situation did not improve much. After all, even gnolls are a chaotic species, and they often start fighting without even knowing why they are fighting during patrols.
As more and more creatures were captured, the several makeshift underground prisons were almost full.
Just then, Alan finally appeared with the law she had hastily created.
Thor glanced at them, discarding all those who were too weak and kind, then with a wave of his paw, appointed Alan as the interim governor, specifically in charge of managing those messy affairs.
He wasn't afraid that Ailan might play any tricks or engage in embezzlement or deception during this process, after all, Jinlong's morality was still trustworthy.
Alan, however, saw this as an opportunity for himself, a chance to better change this territory and, consequently, the Red Dragon, and readily agreed.
From that moment on, the Golden Dragon Consul officially took office.
When Leilia heard the news and saw the golden dragon circling and flying in the sky, her first reaction was disbelief, followed by intense jealousy and resentment.
Why does this hypocritical metal dragon have the red dragon's trust? I could do that myself!
Looking at the enormous 25-meter-long figure in mid-air, and then at her own smaller size, she could only grit her teeth in resentment, feeling helpless.
No wonder the Golden Dragon became the leader of the metal dragons. He was decisive and organized, and showed no mercy to any evil creatures.
In addition, with Alan's outstanding strength, constant supervision and inspection, and the reorganization of Thor's subordinates, all kinds of troubles, big and small, in the territory decreased at a visible speed.
Moreover, the existence of the Golden Dragon is itself a banner, and can even be said to be a kind of faith.
Over millions of years, the credibility accumulated by generations of golden dragons has become immense. When Aran appeared in Thor's territory, in a sense, it was tantamount to providing a guarantee for Thor's invitation.
Some creatures that were still hesitant and observing began to approach boldly; those that had already decided to come completely abandoned their last bit of concern.
When the first human appeared on the eastern horizon and stepped into the narrow canyon without being attacked, more humans soon flocked to it.
