I, The Dragon Overlord-Novel

Chapter 487 - The Gods Never Suffer Losses

“Your Highness Louie, I know what you intend to do. After I leave the ‘Temple of Brightwater’, I will return to the Capital of Wealth and hand over all authority to your Dragon Kingdom.”

Danluciel sighed as she immediately decided to hand over the city and power that she had spent 400 years building to Louie. This showed her determination.

It could be said that she had completely abandoned the path of ‘failure’. It was now a make-or-break for her. If she succeeded in ascending, then everything would return, but if she failed, then even if she survived, she would lose everything.

This woman was forcing herself to gamble her own fate, wealth, and life.

“I do not like to gamble, but I have made several necessary big gambles in my life and each time I gambled, I have never lost. I have always obtained huge benefits, thus allowing me to build the Capital of Wealth and allowing me to achieve the position of a demigod in four hundred years.

Danluciel took a deep breath and said decisively, “Thus, it seems that I am actually a good gambler, and this time, I am going to make the last and biggest gamble of my life!”

“This is also your best and most correct gamble, Lady Danluciel. Because there are no external influences, rather than calling it gambling, this will prove the face of the woman named Danluciel.”

Louie spoke in a relaxed manner. For true gods, there was no need to worry about anything anxiously. It would be good if Danluciel could become a true god, but even if she didn’t, Louie would not lose anything. On the contrary, whether Danluciel succeeded or failed, Louie would be able to obtain the entirety of the Capital of Wealth.

Among the seven kingdoms of the Seven Kingdom Alliance, Louie already possessed three. As for the other four, they were too deep into divine involvement, making it difficult for Louie to reach out.

That said, even if Louis had the ability to swallow the entire Seven Kingdom Alliance now, he would not do so, because the Seven Kingdom Alliance was a bastion for the human race. In the east was the Beastman Empire. If Louie took over the Seven Kingdom Alliance, then he would have to face the Beastman Empire alone.

As a result, Louie thought of making the warrior capital of the Seven Kingdom Alliance, Kios, stand at the forefront. On the other hand, Dragon Kingdom would provide economic and annual material support to all parties. If the beastmen truly launched a large-scale invasion, the western countries of San Soliel would definitely do everything possible to stop them.

To capture more faith, it was important for mortals to face challenges. If Louie still only had Dragon City, he couldn't care less about the war between humans and beastmen. Protecting the south of the continent with the elves was already enough.

But now that his territory had expanded by three kingdoms, protecting his Dragon Kingdom’s territory had become harder. At the moment, it could only rely on tall walls and could not utilize any territorial advantage.

Now that Louie’s believers were largely human, he naturally had to be on the side of humans.

“Thank you for your encouragement, Your Highness Louie! This is indeed the time for me to find out where my destiny lies.”

The confusion was gone from Danluciel’s eyes. Since she had obtained the support of a powerful god, she had to put up a fight. Her four hundred years of hard work was all for this goal.

“My kingdom has just annexed Danbusil and Selar. It would probably take ten years to completely integrate these two kingdoms. In this ten-year period, you will continue to serve as the ruler of the Capital of Wealth. I will inform my daughter Alexia and have her secretly tell you how to make reforms, so that your wealth can be integrated into the Dragon Kingdom. This should prevent troubles once the time to annex your kingdom comes.”

“Secondly, you need to establish your own church now. No matter your success or failure, establishing a church should be your top priority. You can go visit Pope Clooney in my name. He possesses religious talent. Have him send some experienced clergymen to help you form the initial foundation. Also, have them preach the texts of my church in your capital.”

Louie instructed Danluciel in detail. He first had to extend his hand to the power and religion of the Capital of Wealth. Whether Danluciel succeeded or failed, the rich city would eventually fall into his hands.

As a qualified businessman, Danluciel knew that there were some twists and turns inside, but she did not refuse. To be more accurate, she could not refuse. Since she had already made up her mind, she needed to let go of everything.

“I am completely ignorant of the missionary and church creation aspect of this. With the help of your church, it will be much easier to start my church.”

Danluciel said with a joyful face.

“I am also not that familiar with missionary work, but my pope helped me solve everything beautifully.”

Towards his own pope, Louie did not begrudge praise. Clooney was already his true chosen one, a person favored by a God. The only thing left was for Louie to reach a godhood of 11 and reach mid-tier. At that time, he would bestow him with the power of a chosen one.

“Since you are already a member of Dragon Kingdom, Lady Danluciel, I would require your assistance in some matters on the main continent. Because I am a true god, it’s difficult for me to personally take action.”

Louie needed to make use of Danluciel. A demigod could be considered an absolute powerhouse in the main continent. Before she ascended, she would be an important source of fighting power for the Dragon Kingdom, and after she ascended, she would become an important source of fighting power for Louie’s divine system. This was Louie’s goal.

“Please rest assured. I will use my power to keep the country free from any aggression.”

Danluciel assured.

“Very well, then Lady Danluciel, it’s better for you to return to the main continent before it’s too late. The Temple of Brightwater is not a good place for you to stay too long. I will always keep an eye on you and the moment of your success.”

Louie said a few more words, before saying goodbye with a smile.

Before he left the Temple of Brightwater, he saw the Silver Moon Goddess who stood silently under the dark night. Her presence seemed like a bright moonlight in the darkness. He approached the Goddess and whispered, “Your Highness Selune, about Alexia, I hope you can also give her more attention.”

“Alexia is my daughter and the queen of the Silver Moon Kingdom. I will not let any god infringe on her.”

Selune’s voice was quite cold like a lofty immortal. At this moment, she recognized Alexia as her daughter, unlike the past where the basis was just an alliance with Louie.

In the past, Louie had been protecting Alexia, and Selune did not put in any effort. At that time, she could excuse herself by saying that she was busy forming her incarnation. But now that she had finished the basic work of a true god, not caring about Alexia now would be somewhat unjustified.

Hearing the words of the Silver Moon Goddess, Louie also relaxed. With the care of two gods, Alexia would not be in danger even if she was ambushed by the Succubus Queen again.

“Then, I shall also take my leave here and prepare to head to the land of dragons.”
