The Dragon God Temple here had indeed received the Dragon God's recognition. Even before entering the temple, standing in the distance, one could feel the sacred aura radiating from inside out....

Arriving at the square outside the temple, it seemed one could hear faint dragon chants if one listened closely.

Upon entering the temple, the divinity on the Dragon God Statue was as intense as that on the Holy Mountain Statue of Goddess of Wisdom, both so rich that they could condense into beams of divine light.

A mere human lord... why had he received the approval of our god?

Golden Giant Dragon Austin was utterly baffled.

Humans built the Dragon God Temple, worshipped the Dragon God, and gained the Dragon God's recognition.....

When the other Giant Dragons on Dragon Island heard this news, their first reaction was definitely that the humans were lying.

Because in the Human World there were no Dragon God Temples, and no humans who worshipped the Dragon God.

Your next journey awaits at empire

The deities that humans worshipped were the Main God and some other gods of lower divinity.

The Dragon God, possessing the highest divinity... in the ignorant hearts of humans, was far inferior to their worshipped Main God, or even some lower gods.

Golden Giant Dragon Austin had been in Saint Blue for two days, and from the mouths of the Holy Blue Humans, he learned that it was their all-powerful Viscount who had sculpted the Dragon God Statue.

A human sculpted the Dragon God Statue?

At first, he thought a statue carved by such a human would be of mediocre quality, until he entered the temple moments ago and saw the Dragon God Statue, then he realized how wildly off the mark he was.

The quality of the Dragon God Statue here... was perhaps only slightly inferior to the one in the Dragon God Temple on Dragon Island.

This was a matter of time, the Dragon God Statue worshipped in the Dragon God Temple on Dragon Island had existed for over ten thousand years. Give this temple's Dragon God Statue ten thousand years, and this statue could also reach the same height as the one in the Dragon God Temple on the island.

Austin also noticed a problem, the Holy Blue Humans, despite worshipping the Dragon God, did not possess that fanatic devotion of believers.

They were pious and extremely respectful towards the Dragon God Statue, but he always felt something was lacking.

It was different when it came to their Viscount; he could see fanaticism and unconditional trust emanating from the Holy Blue Humans.

The fanaticism for the Viscount was filled with rationality.

The Holy Blue Humans even gave him, a Golden Giant Dragon, the illusion... that the Viscount was the one they truly worshiped....

If there was a ranking, in the hearts of the Holy Blue Humans, the Viscount would be first, and the Dragon God Temple second....

Yes, that was the feeling the Holy Blue Humans gave him.

The Viscount of Saint Blue... could he really stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods in his mortal body?

He had heard before that the Dragon God Temple had no divine officials, but only upon arriving did he learn that, in fact, the temple had an Archbishop.

However, it was a temporary Archbishop.

Now inside the temple was a young dragon wearing a red vest, a fluffy red dragon head hat, and red wide-leg trousers.

She must be the little dragon princess spoken of by the Holy Blue Humans.

There was also a human girl dressed in blue and gold Knight's Regular Attire. Who was the temporary Archbishop?

"I-I-I am... I am the temporary Archbishop of the Dragon God Temple, is there something you need from the Temple Archbishop?"

"It's nothing too serious, I just wanted to ask... doesn't your temple have regular divine officials? I've seen other temples have popes, archbishops, priests, knights... I imagined the Dragon God Temple would also have these positions, but it turns out you really only have one temporary Archbishop."

Young Dragon Lucia looked at the middle-aged man with golden hair and golden eyes standing at the temple entrance. His accent wasn't from Saint Blue; he must be a foreigner, probably one who had witnessed the Divine Presence Phenomenon and came to the Dragon God Temple specifically to pray.

Strange, why did this middle-aged man give her the impression of being very wealthy?

Could it be related to the dazzling golden robe he was wearing?

"Not at the moment, but perhaps there will be in some time. You can take a tour of the temple first..."

"All right."

The Golden Giant Dragon Austin, transformed into human form, began to wander around the Dragon God Temple, where the stone columns on both sides were inscribed with Runes in Dragon Script.

He had seen it when he entered; the three characters "Dragon God Temple" at the entrance were also carved out of Dragon Script, but... even those who did not know Dragon Script would subconsciously recognize that those characters spelled "Dragon God Temple."

"Tixia, what do you need Lance for? He's out at the lake center fishing. If you're busy, just tell me, and when Lance comes back, I'll pass along the message."

"It's nothing serious; Leia and I might need to leave Saint Blue for a few days. Recently, our development has been quite rapid, and the number of people enlisting this year has also increased, resulting in a shortage of mounts... Leia and I plan to go into the mountains to see if we can capture some slightly stronger extraordinary beasts, tame them, train them as mounts, and see if we can form a cavalry."

"Oh, I see, that's quite dangerous to capture fierce extraordinary beasts. Be careful, and if it doesn't work out, you could try stealing some younglings and raise them slowly."

Being a Princess, she understood the importance of cavalry.

Cavalry wasn't the same as knights.

But any knight could instantly become a cavalryman.

However, if a cavalryman was excellent enough, after studying at the Knight Academy for a year or two, he could graduate to become a reserve knight.

The Phalan Empire had many cavalry regiments, composed of Griffins, Earth Dragons, Flying Dragons, and other extraordinary beasts....

Tixia's Blue Moon Knight Order was no match for those Knight Orders of the Phalan Empire...

At least not now, they needed to work harder.

"Don't worry, little dragon princess, we know what we're doing. Maybe you shouldn't tell the Viscount so as not to worry him about us."

"Still, tell Lance. If he knows about it, he could simply give you something or prepare some medicinal solutions to help you."

Lance was an Evil Dragon, and he had plenty of good things. Difficult tasks for you might be no trouble at all for an Evil Dragon.

"No need, we have Superhuman Items to ensure our safety."

"???"

What Superhuman Items could make... oh... got it... dragon dung...

To capture extraordinary beasts?

To develop cavalry?

Austin, who was strolling around the Dragon God Temple, overheard Tixia and the young dragon's conversation and subconsciously glanced at the Dragon God Statue….

Having just arrived today, the little human girl from Saint Blue happened to talk about capturing mythical beasts and developing cavalry right in front of him….

Could it be… the Dragon God wanted him to help Saint Blue?

As a Golden Giant Dragon, finding some mythical beasts for Saint Blue… wasn't a big deal for him.

Helping them was no problem at all.

How should he help?

Overtly?

Or covertly?

He decided to help openly, taking the opportunity to meet the [Viscount] of Saint Blue.

"You need mounts?" Austin said with a smile as he approached the young dragon and Tixia: "What a coincidence, I am a merchant, and I just so happen to have some fine mounts I'm looking to sell. If you're interested, I can give you a good deal."

Tixia looked at Austin for a while, making sure that he did not have any malicious intentions, before she smiled and asked, "What kinds of mounts do you have?"

Austin replied with a smile, "Earth Dragons, Flying Dragons, other mythical beasts... I have them all. It seems... this must be the arrangement of the Dragon God. You need mounts, I just so happen to be here, and I also worship the Dragon God."

"How much?"

"Let's not talk about money for now, I want to meet your Viscount. Making friends with your Viscount, someone who can imbue the Dragon God Statue with divine elegance and divinity and gain the recognition of the Dragon God, in my opinion, your Viscount... is a divine being."

Having said this with a laugh, Austin produced a Fruit of Wisdom in his hand and passed it to the young dragon: "Little dragon, here's a fruit for you to eat."

"Not eating, not eating... I'm too full..."

The young dragon waved her Dragon Claw, refusing. She wouldn't dare eat snacks from strangers; the Evil Dragon had said that it's best not to eat food given by strangers.

She was greedy, but all the snacks she ate were gifts from the citizens of Saint Blue. She hadn't eaten treats from outsiders.

"This is a Fruit of Wisdom, go on and eat it."

"???"

Fruit of Wisdom?

Was there such a fruit?

"Lance doesn't allow me to eat food from strangers, including water."

"He's afraid you will be cheated, he's right to worry, but once you eat this fruit, you won't be fooled by anyone."

"Really? That's amazing?"

"Yes, because it is the Fruit of Wisdom, eating it will make you smarter."

Eating it will make her smarter?

Alright, alright... she had to see if it was truly… really?

Wait a second, was this seemingly wealthy middle-aged man implying that she was not smart?

That's just mean, what kind of way is that to insult someone?

Insulting Princess Young Dragon comes at a price!

And that price would be this Fruit of Wisdom!

The young dragon swiftly took the fruit Austin offered.

She could hold off on eating it for now, wait for the Evil Dragon to return, show it to the Evil Dragon, and if the Evil Dragon said it was okay, then she would eat it.

Fruit of Wisdom...

It felt more like a scornful fruit….

"You want to meet our Viscount?"

"Yes, don't look at me with those eyes, I'm just curious about your Viscount, I have no ill intentions, you can feel it."

"I'll go call Lance."

The young dragon got up with the Fruit of Wisdom and ran off. The fruit smelled so good, she wanted to eat it, but she would first ask the Evil Dragon if it was alright.

Just as she reached the entrance of the temple, her head, adorned with a red fluffy hat, was held back by a large hand, "Watch where you're going when you run."

"Ah, Lance, you're back, did you catch any fish?"

"The fish in that lake have also been eaten by the squid mother."

"Nonsense, I caught some just yesterday. Besides, the squid mother hasn't been around here recently; you're just empty-handed and too embarrassed to admit it... blaming it on poor squid mother."

Lance punched the young dragon, what was she blabbering about, spouting such truths.

"Why'd you hit me? If you can't catch fish, go catch a few in the lake and claim they're your catch, no one would know, right? Hey... never mind, I happen to have a Fruit of Wisdom here, you eat it."

"???"

Alright, alright, even daring to mock her Black Dragon Dad, let's see if she wouldn't... huh? The Fruit of Wisdom?

Could it really be the Fruit of Wisdom?

Wasn't it a sacred relic of the Temple of the Goddess of Wisdom?

In the entire Human World, only the Holy Mountain headquarters of the Temple of the Goddess of Wisdom had a Tree of Wisdom that bore the so-called Fruits of Wisdom....

"Who gave this to you?"

"That wealthy-looking middle-aged uncle."

Lance followed the direction pointed out by the young dragon, and there he was, unmistakably not a person.

Just as Austin was sizing up Lance, there was a gleam in his eye; was he, in the eyes of the Holy Blue Humans, that Viscount... a mortal with a body like a human and a divine position equal to that of a deity?
