Do you believe me when I say I’m not a dragon?

Sometimes she had to admit her greed - if Shia could stand in front of her one day, she hoped to convince her sister to stand on her side and succumb to the shadow of the black dragon.

This is equivalent to denying all the efforts made by her sister, but even so, Rachel is not willing to let Shia die. She neither wants to lose her precious eyesight, nor is she willing to watch her die.

Thinking of this, Rachel took a deep breath, clenched her fists to calm herself down, and continued to look at the documents in front of her through the vision given to her by the black dragon.

——Until a lynx interrupted her reading and stood in front of her, holding a bottle.

"Meow~"

It handed the bottle to Rachel, who nodded, took the bottle after putting down the documents in her hand, and used tweezers to take out the letter inside.

After opening it, Rachel frowned, took out the map on the side and read it.

"The place they came to was an endless sea of ​​trees?" She remembered this very clearly. When the black dragon proposed the names of the three natural disasters, one of them lived in this sea of ​​trees.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt something bad, so she handed the bottle to Bobcat and said at the same time: "Tell the captain to lower the spacecraft and inform the gods if there is anything."

"Meow!"

The lynx immediately nodded and ran out on all fours with the bottle in its mouth. After a while, the spacecraft landed next to Mercer.

At this time, Mercer was on the top of the mountain looking at the scenery in the distance. After conquering the floating island, he dismantled the entire floating island No. [-] and turned it into nourishment for the ice veins and snow fields.

Now, the work on the Ice Vein Snow Field is almost completed.

Seeing the workers working in the distance, Mercer felt extremely comfortable.

"Sir God."

On the spaceship, Rachel respectfully saluted Mercer, and then said without waiting for Mercer's response: "One of the blacks you sent entered the Endless Sea of ​​Trees. It's not clear what the situation is now."

In the eyes of others, this is a very rude behavior. However, after being in contact with Mercer for a long time, Rachel also understands his character. It is enough to show respect and compliments at ordinary times, but if it is too cumbersome, it will only cause trouble. It's not pleasant to get the gods, so just say what you have to say.

"Endless sea of ​​trees?"

Hearing this, Mercer turned his eyes sideways, looked at her and asked.

"Yes, it is the territory of the natural disaster snake dragon."

After hearing what Rachel said, Mercer had a memory.

"According to our understanding, Maoserosaurus is a relatively mild natural disaster. It is allowed to collect materials from it, but it has a special love for plants and is not allowed to destroy trees on a large scale. Once discovered by a natural disaster, it will be almost Death is certain."

Rachel explained slowly. After hearing these words, Moshe nodded clearly.

He looked at the envelope in Rachel's hand and poked his head out of the black mist to feel the movement.

Judging from the emotions remaining on the scales, these are not lies.

"——If that's the case, then there's no need to worry about anything." He said calmly: "If they don't write a letter next time, they will be considered dead."

"clear."

Rachel nodded and was about to leave.

But before she could take any action, she was stopped by Mercer:

"--Wait a moment."

"...please tell me?"

Mercer turned his gaze and looked at the scenery ahead:

"After the construction here is completed, I need to gather everyone to give a speech, and I will leave the arrangements to you."

"Yes, I understand."

Mercer's order surprised Rachel, but fortunately, he gave herself enough time to prepare. It would take some time for the official completion, which was enough for her to arrange everyone.

After Rachel left, Mercer quietly looked at the scene in front of him.

This is a more luxurious place than any floating island - the ground has been repaired and flat, and high-rise buildings stand on the land. Apart from the working environment, it is enough for [-] to [-]% of Mercer's current staff to work without being crowded. life, of course Mercer would not limit his sights to this.

The remaining people will be sent out by Mercer to open up the swamp forest. In fact, due to the temperature changes, it is no longer suitable to use the name swamp forest to describe it, but no matter what, Mercer needs a copy. Enough to support himself and everyone else.The fertile land of swamp forests is the best choice.

Chapter 341: The Great City

——A few months later, the last building was completed within the expected time.

At this point, after thousands of years, people finally ushered in a city standing on the ground - although the owner of this city is a black dragon, even so, it is still worthy of celebration.

More than half of the people had already settled on the ground. After confirming that all the instruments were fine and fully operational, Rachel notified everyone of Mercer's order.

So half a month later, everyone came to the square in the center of the city.

——This is the broadest place in the ice and snowfield that is now occupied by buildings. It is wide enough for Mercer to move freely here, and this is also the purpose of building this place.

Standing in front of the square, you can just see the magnificent volcano.In people's sight, the black dragon stood on the top of the mountain, spread its wings, and circled around.

In front of him is a crowded square. There are already black people presiding over the order here. There is no need for him to come down now. He only needs to fly in the sky to create an aura that scares others.

On the left side, close to the swamp forest, there are also food processing plants and warehouses built to obtain resources from the outside world and transport them to various parts of the ice and snow fields.

In front of them was a square filled with people. At this moment, everyone put down their work and waited for Mercer to arrive.

In the center of the square and the volcano is a building similar to the Sky Island Federation. Usually, senior staff will deal with various matters from all over the Ice Vein Snowfield and even future plans here. Occasionally, managers from various departments will be summoned. Have a meeting.

Behind the square, there are a large number of residential areas, restaurants, hospitals and other areas. About [-]% of the entire Bingmai Snow Plains population lives here.

On his right side is the location close to the ocean, where the Hunter's Guild, port, and spaceship construction factory are all located.

They will fly far away to develop Mercer's territory.

It is worth mentioning that there is a branch of the Hunters Guild near the swamp forest, where there are also places for hunters to rest, medical supplies, and forge weapons.

Hunters on that side will wander into the swamp forest, ensuring the expansion of fields within the forest while controlling the ecological balance.

Behind the volcano, most of the buildings are factories, some are for refining materials, and some are for reprocessing.

This is also the place where the largest number of black people live, because at the foot of the mountain is connected the leyline energy core that transmits energy to the entire ice and snowfield. This was dismantled from the No. [-] floating island.

It transports materials to all parts of the ice veins and snowfields, and the energy it emits will protect people from the reverse energy on the mountain top.

It is a pity that this energy cannot be established on the top of the mountain, otherwise it will conflict with the reverse energy and cause shielding.

Because of this, the plants on the top of the mountain are also withering due to the influence of the reverse energy. Even if they are replaced with magnificent buildings, they cannot cover up the death atmosphere.

But Mercer didn't care, after all, he was the only dragon living here.

......

After hovering in the air for a while, Mercer flew over the square and landed on the open space prepared by the black man.

Immediately, everyone fell silent.

In front of Mercer, there were many people who had never seen him before Mercer arrived, and there were also a few who just glanced at Mercer from a distance. But now, they finally felt the rush of fear. What a shock.

Just how huge is this behemoth?How strong is it?Even the armor all over the body can't stop its knotted muscles. The scarlet vertical pupils are so sharp that they can shoot out real sharp blades and scratch everyone they look at. Even if the wings on the back are folded, they will still remain intact. It is huge, as if it can cover everyone under its shadow after unfolding.

Seeing their reactions, Mercer said nothing, but quietly scanned the crowd.

It is not an exaggeration to describe this place as a sea of ​​people. The square cannot hold so many people. The upstairs outside the square is also full of people. Even in the sky, arrangements were made with Mercer's permission. One spaceship after another flew in the sky just to see Mercer's existence more clearly.

So much so that the spacecraft floated in the air, covering the sky.

After a long time, a dead atmosphere lingered around everyone, no one dared to speak, and Mercer also felt this change through the black mist.

Under the gaze of everyone, Mercer opened his mouth, and the words came into everyone's mind:

"—My people, look at the ground beneath your feet. Answer me, what is it?"

Regardless of the distance, his voice echoed in the mind at the same volume, almost making everyone tremble.

Some people lowered their heads. Although no one dared to speak out, their thoughts had vague answers through the black mist.

"This is my territory, your home, and the ground that is extremely far away from your floating island!" Mercer's voice was deep and deep, but it could arouse everyone's emotions without even realizing it.

As everyone knows, this is the ability of Moser Scale Pink - since it can sense emotions, it can also mobilize emotions to a small extent without infecting the other party.

However, there are not many places where this ability can be used, so it is appropriate to use it now.

"Once you abandoned the earth, fearing the life it gave birth to, while craving the resources it produced. Now turn around and look at your past life, how sad and foolish your choices were - on the ground You don’t need to worry about the lack of resources and how much food you need! You don’t need to worry about your life being threatened by wild beasts, because you who live in my territory are my things! You just need to ensure that you will not do anything to me. Harmful things, then I will naturally ensure your safety. It is the rule here to get what you work for. I don’t need you to work hard to do impossible things. As long as you do your job well, then you will also There will be plenty of time to enjoy the fruits of your work.”

Mercer first mocked human beings for their choices, and then asked them to be grateful. However, through the subtle changes in their emotions caused by the black mist, these people did not feel this strangeness at all.

"Of course I know what you are afraid of. Your surrender is not because of your own wishes, but because of my power. In this case, I will give you a chance to choose now. If you are not willing to live in this land, surrender If you are under the black dragon, you can leave now!"

Chapter 342: Xuhei Country

As soon as he finished speaking, Mercer stopped talking and looked down at the people in front of him.

After a while, no one left, or in other words, no one dared to leave.

Although Mercer ordered Rachel to spread confusing news that disturbed the outside world, he did not block the Ice Vein Snowfield's understanding of outside information.

The floating island changed the route they were supposed to take, and countless spaceships got lost in it.

Therefore, they clearly understand what will happen to them once they leave.It is indeed safe here, but it is completely different outside. They either starve to death on the spaceship or are killed by wild beasts on the ground.

Furthermore, even if they don't understand the news from the outside world, living here is much better than floating islands.

Compared to this, what does living under the control of the black dragon mean?

Therefore, everyone bowed their heads in submission without any objection.

"Raise your heads, my people." In everyone's minds, Mercer's voice also rang.

"——Since you are all willing to stay, I will not treat you badly. Food, life, enjoyment...I will give you everything you gave up when you left the earth!"

Mercer's vertical pupils emitted a faint red light, and as he spoke, the surrounding black fog became much thicker.

The black mist arouses everyone's emotions, like a needle that pries a door lock, extremely gently and cautiously.

But when the door lock is knocked open, everything inside is like clay in your hands and can be manipulated at will.

Listening to Mercer's words, the humiliation caused by people's surrender slowly faded away, and their eyes focused on Mercer.

In the sight of everyone, Mercer slowly raised his paw and held it tightly: "It's not impossible to even let you regain the glory of mankind before the [Catastrophe]!"

Hearing this, people became excited and even the whole square became noisy.

Just when the black people were trying to maintain order, Mercer secretly stopped them, because only in this way could the emotions between everyone spread.

"——As long as you give your wisdom and ability, then there will be a place in this world that I will give you! By then, everyone! will enjoy unparalleled freedom, no longer need to be afraid of wild beasts, no longer need to worry about food Want and hunger!”

His voice transcended people's discussions and rang directly in their heads, deafeningly bombarding each of their brains.

"Oh--"

Finally, someone could no longer suppress the emotion bursting from his chest, raised his fist and shouted.

Finally, people's emotions collectively exploded at this moment, and ecstasy broke out at this moment.

In front of them, the giant dragon also opened its fangs and roared:

"Conquer for me. Under my territory is the land where you can live safely!"

Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the crowd, Mercer raised his head and roared:

"Starting from today - Xuhei Kingdom is officially established!"

"--Oh!"

......

With the establishment of Xuhei Kingdom, Mercer's speech also came to an end.

Everyone was caught up in the carnival, and their chests were filled with strong enthusiasm. Obviously, they had been attracted by the future pointed out by Mercer.

Feeling their emotions, Mercer nodded slowly.

He understood that this time the sequelae caused by him forcing them to surrender had disappeared. Now they could safely arrange for them to leave. They did not need the supervision of black people and were full of loyalty to this place.

Among them, [-]% were the seeds planted in their emotions by Mercer using the black mist, and the subsequent [-]% were the explosions caused by allowing their emotions to grow.

Mercer lay on the big bed made of soft wool, thinking silently

People's enthusiasm is very high now, and it's time to strike while the iron is hot.

At the same time, Rachel also came over.

In order to welcome this occasion worth celebrating, she specially dressed up like a clergyman before the Cataclysm. Even her blind eyes were covered by a metal eyepatch with a pair of wings embossed in it.

"Xuhei Kingdom is a solemn and majestic name." She came to Mercer and bowed slightly, "What's the reason you called me here?"
