Chapter 1401 The Two Major Camps of Dragon Island
Why Lin can be sure that Eos, the gem-constructed dragon, needs Coin coins. In fact, the reason is a bit like a magician performing a meditation ritual.
Meditation rituals and meditation methods are different things for magicians. The method can be used in conjunction with the ritual, or it can be performed anytime and anywhere; but the ritual must have certain steps and be in a certain environment.
Incense, sacrifices, magic circles, or the marks of one, two, or all of the eight powers. This increases the concentration of power in the environment where the magician is located, making the meditation method more effective with half the effort. That is to say, among the three elements of favorable weather, favorable location and favorable conditions, meditation ritual accounts for two elements: favorable favorable location and favorable conditions and people.
Eos wanted to hit the road to becoming a god. Unlike the barbarian king Alonso who was in a confused and clueless state, this gem-constructed dragon chose to create an environment with the element of 'geographical convenience'. In this way, even if you can't find a suitable direction, because you are in such an environment, it is like being in a meditative environment all the time, and your strength will grow slightly.
Don’t underestimate this negligible growth either. For those who have reached the threshold of strength, any growth is precious. Because no one knows that after so much hard work, maybe one day it will come naturally and cross that threshold.
This is why Lin asserted that in addition to Eos, there must be other dragons on Dragon Island, and they also see the benefits that Coin Coins can bring and have a demand for them. Lin didn't know if there was any competition between these powerful dragons, but he probably still had a desire to compare.
Besides, when you see something good, you want to get it into your hands as soon as possible. This is human nature. Lin doesn't think that the gem-constructed dragon can transcend it. So even if Eos has a way to get on the line with the Gold Goddess, Lin's existence is still competitive.
All this is because the Coin Coin contains a trace of the divine power of the Goddess of Gold Coins. Moreover, this divine power does not require the user to have devout faith, recite the goddess's dogma every day, or make donations to her church. As long as you have money! And there must be enough!
Of course, other objects containing divine power can also bring about the same effect, but those things are all well protected and kept by the churches of their respective gods. If you want to use or occupy it, the price you have to pay is not limited to gold and silver, but may also include your own body, mind and soul.
The price is so high that even the dragons cannot bear it. In comparison, the Gold Coin Goddess's Coin coins seemed to be given away for free.
Is Ke Yin afraid that the divine power in the coins will be abused? In fact, such concerns have already been discussed in the initial planning. The conclusion is that even if there is a loss due to someone's abuse, the loss is almost negligible compared to the benefits that can be brought by letting the currency circulate.
What's more, if you give divine magic to priests or warriors and let them use it, isn't this consumption not consumption? From this perspective, if consumption can deepen the user's desire, this will also invisibly provide a source of material for Ke Yin's strengthening. So whether this is considered a loss or an investment, that has to be said.
Because of this, when answering Lin's questions, the gem-clad dragon did not hide his words, only spoke half-truths, and had the attitude of rushing to death without repaying his life. When it hears a question, it doesn't care whether it's good or bad, and talks about it all at once.
Anyway, given Eos's status, it would have to expend effort and favors to find other dragons to do things for. But to say something good or bad about others is just a matter of words. It is not afraid of offending people.
On the contrary, other dragons are still afraid. If they really come to argue with Eos because of something unpleasant he said, will it be an excuse for this gem construct dragon to intervene? Dragons are a bit conservative in doing whatever they want, but it is true that they are lazy and unscrupulous.
This is certainly the best of good things for Lin.
Although Henry was very cooperative, as a human being, his understanding of Dragon Island was superficial and quite limited.
Even though the second-rate people in the previous group of transformed dragons were under someone's power, they still spoke everything they knew. But their understanding of Dragon Island was too marginal, not to mention the core things they didn't understand. Even when Lin asked about the source of his troubles, they didn't know all the questions and shook their heads.
Eos, the ancient dragon, is a serious elder of the dragon clan and knows many secrets of Dragon Island. These things are not considered secrets, they are just old news that has not been mentioned for a very long time, so long that they have been forgotten by most people.
Knowing these old news will be somewhat helpful for Lin to solve his own troubles. At least I know the direction in which I can use my strength and the direction in which I can borrow my strength.
In the eyes of outsiders, Longdao appears to be monolithic. But in the eyes of people who have contact with Longdao, Longdao is just a piece of loose sand. If nothing else, the number of clans that are almost equal to the number of dragons is a clear proof. Moreover, a dragon is not limited to joining one clan, which makes it even more difficult for outsiders to understand the relationship between dragons.
But in fact, according to Eos, the dragons on Dragon Island are basically divided into two camps. It is not divided into two camps like the metal dragon and the color dragon in the outside world, but the dragon god and the dragon mother of all things.
The members of the Dragon God and Dragon Mother clans are not large in number, but there is no overlap, and all of them are strong among the dragon clan. It can be said that the level of the ancient dragon is the minimum standard for joining these two clans. And Eos is a member of the clan of the Dragon Mother of All Things.
Because a dragon can join more than one clan, the influence of the Dragon God and Dragon Mother extends so far. All the clans on Dragon Island, whether close or far away, are always related to these two clans.
Maybe outsiders can't understand it, but within Dragon Island, it is quite clear that the faction attributes of the larger or higher-level clans are classified as Dragon God or Dragon Mother. It is not an exaggeration to say that the barriers are clear.
But the further you go to the edge and the farther you get involved, the less obvious the boundary becomes. There are even some small clans whose members are dragons from both camps. But it is estimated that these dragons themselves are not aware of such things, and their influence and strength are at the bottom.
Just like the group of friends led by the blue dragon Balo before, who love to act after changing into human form. They are just marginal figures who are outside the two major camps. The dragons from either camp have no intention of winning over this group of unclear juniors.
The person who caused trouble for a certain magician was the Dragon Son and Grandson of the Dragon God camp. It has nothing to do with the real senior leaders, but it has something to do with the direction of the camp.
The reason why they are divided into two camps is related to the respective policies and positions of the Dragon God and the Dragon Mother.
The former believes that dragons are the original creatures in the lost land and should be in charge of everything in the world. Therefore, in this era, these dragons are keen to contact Homo sapiens and expand their influence. Their duty is to maintain the balance and stability of the world, and hope that one day in the future, the grand scene of dragons ruling the world will appear again.
Although it is said to be 'again', there is actually no evidence to prove whether the first time existed or not, but this does not stop the ambitions of the dragons in the Dragon God camp. In addition to taking advantage of various opportunities to flex their muscles, they also do not forget to play tricks to increase their influence to a higher level.
The Dragon Mother of All Things is an ancient being of the same era as Yggdrasil and Fasnas in the World Tree. She is known as the Beginning of All Things, and is also the origin of the stance that the Dragon God camp adheres to.
However, the Dragon Mother itself is not that radical. She regards the entire Lost World as her own. Her position has always been not to interfere with the natural evolution of all things. Although it gives birth to all things, it does not ask for feedback. It will even take the initiative to cut off the contact between the two parties and treat the other party's life and death indifferently.
To use the old saying, the Dragon God camp belongs to the interventionist radicals, while the Dragon Mother camp belongs to the isolationist conservatives. The two parties contain each other on Dragon Island.
In general perception, conservative people are old and stubborn. Also because they are older and have accumulated more, their average strength is stronger. People in the radical faction are younger and more impulsive. Dragon Island is in a similar situation.
This also prevented the Dragon God camp, which was suppressed by the Dragon Mother camp with higher overall strength, from blatantly expanding towards the Enchanted Landlord Continent. The appeasement policy of the Karlsruhe Empire also supported the Dragon Mother camp to suppress the Dragon God camp's voice from the side. After all, we are full, so why bother messing around.
The Dragon Mother of All Things is an ancient being whose origin is quite clear and widely known to dragons. But because of his status as a deity, the Dragon God is not as close to the Dragon Clan as the Dragon Mother is. As for the strength and weakness between the two, there is no conclusion, but the two sides will not easily start a war.
The Dragon Emperor is the companion of the Dragon God and his representative dragon in the world of Lost Land. For Lin, the bad news starts here.
The Dragon Emperor has a good relationship with the Grand Duke Frias, a great nobleman of the Karlsruhe Empire and one of the two Grand Dukes in charge of the sea. With the help of the Grand Duke, Prince Behar gained a relationship with the Dragon Emperor.
Although the cooperation between the two parties cannot be said to be perfect, for the Dragon Clan, it is a great thing to be willing to talk calmly. Just like today, if Lin didn't have Henry as an introduction, he wouldn't even be able to enter the palace of Eos.
The giant dragon sent to the main continent to unite some dead men to ambush a certain magician was an impulsive young dragon under the dragon god's camp. If we just look at clan relationships, even if outsiders study for several years, they may not be able to figure out who is behind the two dragons. But all this is clear to Eos.
As for the members of the same clan of the two dragons, is it possible that they will continue to cause trouble for a certain magician because of their lost companions? Eos can only say that this possibility exists, and the chance is very high.
As long as the nobles of the Karlsruhe Empire do not give up, the dragons of the Dragon God camp on Dragon Island will not stop, because this is also their best excuse to intervene in mainland affairs. Just like in the history of my hometown, those countries that declared permanent neutrality did not stop their people from becoming mercenaries. And their reason is to use money to do things, which is natural.
After hearing the above, Lin couldn't help but ask: 'Is it useful to simply destroy the two-headed dragon clan? ’
'what you think? Little magician. ’ Eos didn’t give his own judgment, just a rhetorical question.
Lin rejected his own idea. Numerous examples from ancient times to the present have proven that no matter how many minions kill, things will never end unless the mastermind behind the scenes is found. If you want to knock a mountain to shake a tiger, you must first make sure you hit a mountain and not a small stone on the roadside.
