Chapter 847 Ancient Dragon Andermasam
"Have you heard? Duke Hayley Nathaniel issued a summons to defeat the evil dragon Andermasam!"
"Hayley Nathaniel? Is she the famous Silver Dragon Duchess? I heard that she is as beautiful as a star, and kings of all generations have been admiring her!"
"Alas...what's the use? Now that all the strong men from the mainland have been attracted to the central battlefield, no one can respond to her call. Andermasam is also a famous legendary evil dragon. I heard that he was killed in the central battlefield. Even if you can escape from the siege of a group of legendary strong men, you probably have half your foot in destiny..."
"Yes, there are very few people in the world who can punish such an evil dragon unless the guardians of the major temples take action."
"Then if Duke Hailey loses, what will happen to the province of [Nathaniel]?"
"What else can we do? We can only accept the rule of Andermasam. It is not the crown territory anyway, so the royal family will not risk losing the legend to conquer the evil dragon."
…………
Listening to the lively discussion in the tavern, Li Rui slowly narrowed his eyes.
I smell delicious food!
Li Rui paid a silver coin for the bartender to introduce the evil dragon Andermasam in detail, and Li Rui became more interested in it.
Gurung Andemasam is a famous presence throughout the northern part of the continent. He often blackmails the lords of various provinces and occasionally dares to threaten the kings of some small countries.
In the hundreds of years since it came of age, it has destroyed more than 20 towns and caused more than 100,000 casualties!
He has escaped encirclement and suppression from various countries more than a dozen times, and can occasionally kill some masters. In the north, he is a ruthless character who can stop children from crying at night.
Such a lawless guy can still survive to this day. I have to say that his own strength is really strong.
In addition, there is a more important reason. This guy is so wretched that he hardly looks like a red dragon!
Once he sees that the situation is not right, he will run away like a gust of wind, without the irritability and recklessness of a normal red dragon.
Several times, the killer trap aimed at it was escaped before it was fully activated. It was as slippery as a loach!
"Legendary Dragon, do you have any ideas?"
After the bartender left, Ling Xiyi asked coldly.
"There is one thing. I happened to drop by. Let's go and take a look."
Li Rui grinned. He was still short of a heavy prey to upgrade [Deadly Natural Enemy] to another level. Wasn't Andermasam bringing food to his door?
Hmm... you can't be careless. The dragon in the Peak Secret Diamond is much stronger than humans at the same level, so you still have to be careful when dealing with it.
Suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Li Rui drank the wine in one gulp. The spicy taste filled his mouth and lifted his spirits.
"Let's go to [Nathaniel] Province!"
A few days later, Li Rui and others entered the province of [Nathaniel].
When they arrived here, they could clearly feel the aura of impending war.
This is a completely different feeling than listening to those tavern merchants chatting in the capital.
It was only then that they intuitively experienced how heavy this incident was on the local people. Almost everyone lost their smiles on their faces, and even carefree children were infected by their parents' emotions and became dull and less talkative.
An atmosphere of despair permeated the world, and the closer to the center of the province, the more obvious this emotion became.
"Can one red dragon have such a big impact? Even if it is a giant dragon with a peak secret diamond, it can be punished by ten or eight rough stones, right? Is the mobilization ability of countries in other worlds so poor?"
Rubbing his chin, Li Rui muttered to himself in confusion.
Teacher Hannah on the side glanced at him angrily: "Don't bring your Chinese standards to other countries. Even on earth, few European countries could accumulate so many rough stones in the Middle Ages!"
"Not to mention mobilizing them to deal with an existence that may not have a direct conflict of interest with them."
"But it harms the national interest, and the king doesn't care about it?"
As a subject of an empire that had been centralized for a long time, Li Rui didn't understand this kind of saucy operation.
"A vassal's vassal is not my vassal. Under the feudal system, as long as the evil dragon guarantees basic tax revenue, the king has little incentive to send out troops to attack it."
"Why?"
Li Rui still didn't understand. How could someone else be allowed to snore next to the bed, and what's more, the one sleeping there was a dragon.
"Because of the checks and balances between the lord and the king."
Teacher Hannah shook her head and said helplessly.
"Every high-level powerful man is the cornerstone of rule. The lords are afraid that the king will use the crusade as an excuse to consume their effective strength and shake the foundation."
"Similarly, the king is also afraid of losing too much during the crusade, which will deviate from the royal power and the strength of the lords, giving them the opportunity to rebel."
"So, unless the king and the lord really feel the pain at the same time, it will be difficult to form such a crusade team. Otherwise, why have only a dozen dragon-slaying teams been organized in hundreds of years? On average, they only succeed once in six to seventy years? "
Teacher Hannah shrugged her shoulders and sighed.
"There is nothing new in the world. Do you know how the last giant dragon in Europe died in ancient times?"
Blinking, everyone stared at Teacher Hannah curiously.
"I spent my whole life happily extorting money, and finally died of old age."
"Actually, the extraordinary beings at that time could just assemble some of them and kill it, but no one could organize it. The lone rangers who occasionally had a sense of justice couldn't do anything about it, and it kept it alive for nearly three thousand years!"
"So these idiots just need to be a little bit sensible and don't provoke the top extraordinary forces. The "country" composed of ordinary people is no threat to them at all."
After a pause, Teacher Hannah suddenly reacted: "Of course, China is an exception. You have been very wrong since the ancient times..."
"What do you mean by wrong? Ours is called advanced social organization structure!"
After a chuckle, Li Rui nodded thoughtfully and understood the social ecology of the alien world a little.
In short, the spiritual tide is not as thorough as that on Earth, resulting in the state structure still remaining in the transition stage from city-state to kingdom, even more primitive than the feudal system!
Too many ethnic structures and religious beliefs make them scattered internally, making it difficult to "concentrate their efforts on major events."
It has formed a paradise for the strong to plunder the weak!
And with the revival of spiritual energy, the great power is further attributed to itself, and the social structure even has signs of regression.
The powerful empire in the past has a tendency to fall apart due to the internal mutual exclusion!
And it is hard to say that there are no hands and feet of the major temples behind all this.
The struggle between royal power and divine power...
A unified great empire or a group of disintegrating small countries, which one is more suitable for missionary soil?
Needless to say, the thousand-year-long history of struggle between the [Holy See of Light] and European countries has fully demonstrated this traditional art.
