December 25, 996, was a happy day for Dragon Ya City, the capital of the Dragon King. All the nobles in the city gathered to go to the palace, from Longtai Mountain to Dragon Ya City at the foot of the mountain and then to the palace outside the city. Every small town is decorated with lights and colorful flags.
At the foot of Longtai Mountain, on the same street as the city's teleportation hall, there is a tall building with a layout like a fairy tale castle. It has a pure white marble appearance and a main building that is a hundred meters high, with more than a dozen spire towers scattered around.
This is the most important official institution of the Dragon Kingdom: the Dragon Literary Society. This is a place that highlights the cultural heritage of the Dragon Kingdom and realizes the legendary will of the Red Dragon Rock. Here, the best authors and best novels in the kingdom are selected every year. , Best Literature Award and many other awards.
On the 15th floor of the Literary Society Castle is the lounge of the Literary Award Jury. Surrounding this thousands-square-meter lounge are guest rooms for the committee members. On the walls of the corridors outside each room, hangings A circle of paintings by the jury.
"You straighten the frame again." In a corner of the corridor, the president of the literary club, Tognev Honglong, was directing the workers to place an oil painting. The painting was huge in size and was a group portrait.
"Mr. President, have we added new members?" Vice President Baishiya Lanlong came over, "Why didn't you hear that the committee was meeting?"
According to the regulations of the literary society, new members need to be nominated by the entire committee and then sent to Honglongyan for approval.
"Oh, Baishiya, Prince Li Qi will become the Duke of Dragon Tooth City today. His Governor of Dragon Tooth Mountain will also have the position of literary award committee member, just like the major knights in the capital also have the position of review committee member. The position is the same." Tognev looked at the oil painting that had just been hung up and couldn't help but say, "It is indeed the work of a palace magister-level painter, it is so lifelike!"
The review committee members of the Dragon Literary Society are mostly captains of knights, chairman of the Magic Guild Government, and dukes and counts. This is because the list of each committee member needs to be discussed and approved by the legends of Red Dragon Rock, and the legends are very busy every day. It may take hundreds of years of discussion to reach a conclusion, so the committee simply established position members to ensure that the committee has enough manpower.
"Indeed," Baishiya Lanlong also examined the oil painting. Suddenly he frowned, "President, who are these young ladies in this oil painting?"
"These? Of course they are Prince Li Qi's fifteen wives!" Tognev said with a smile, "Haven't you seen them too?"
"Then who are these young men that these ladies are holding?"
"Of course the knights of the Order of the Griffin!"
"But, isn't the name of this painting called "Prince Li Qi Attends the Literary Award Ceremony"?" Baishiya said rather embarrassed.
"Yes, this is a pair of pictures. Look at this one here." Tognev pointed to another oil painting on the side.
"Oh, there is Prince Li Qi here, but these girls around him? Why have I never seen them?"
"These girls are the female knights of the Griffin Knights. The girls all come from the great nobles of the royal capital."
When Baishya looked carefully at the nameplate under the frame, he finally saw the name of the painting, "Commissioner Susie Soaring in the Sky."
. . .
While the president and vice president of the literary club were busy placing portraits, Li Qi Honglong was following Dusen Baixiao to the Red Dragon Rock to meet the many demigods and legends in the cave.
Even though the God-Emperor explored the path of legend and trained dozens of legendary mage apprentices within hundreds of years, the single building with the largest number of legends and demigods in the entire human empire is still the Red Dragon Rock, which is only a few kilometers away. In the mountain, there are more than 50 demigods/legendary dragons and more than 50 of their legendary servants.
"You know, the history of Red Dragon Rock far exceeds the history of human civilization. Our Dragon Tooth City and Imperial City are the two sources of human civilization. Without Red Dragon Rock and the Dragon Kingdom, humans would have been unable to resist the orc army!" Du Sen said very Proudly leading Li Qi to visit, "Humanity has experienced two empires in thousands of years, and our Red Dragon Kingdom has never been in turmoil since its establishment 3,000 years ago, and it continues to this day. This is all because of the Red Dragon Rock The result of guarding here!"
Li Qi was shocked by the greatness of the kingdom, but she also had many questions: "The Red Dragon Rock is so powerful, so why has our kingdom never expanded?"
Du Sen didn't say anything, but took Li Qi to the bottom of a huge stone tablet and pointed to the words on it: "This is the stone tablet that His Majesty the Red Dragon King prayed to the dragon demigods after the founding of the country, asking them to assist the dragon. The kingdom unites all human nations!”
"Then this stone tablet was rejected by them?"
"No, they had more important things to do back then, so they postponed this issue. They have postponed it until now and have not started discussing it."
"What issue is more important than unifying the entire human race?"
"Establishment of the Dragon Kingdom Literary Award."
"Ah... it sounds quite important." Li Qi couldn't bear it. She didn't understand the conflict between unifying the human race and establishing a literary award. "Father, the path of His Majesty the Red Dragon I has not been stagnated by this." Before?"
"Of course, His Majesty Red Dragon I has great ambitions. He was determined to unify the human race when he first became a demigod. Even after the human city-states have formed the ancient human empire, his determination has never changed." Du Sen continued. Li Qi followed Li Qi to another gold-covered stone tablet, "This is the great achievement of His Majesty Red Dragon I. He established the Dragon Literary Society, the Dragon Kingdom Literary Award, the Dragon Kingdom Writers Foundation, and the Red Dragon Family Annual Literature Award, Red Dragon Family Cultural Fund and dozens of other literature-related awards and funds.”
"So, what are your Majesty's achievements?"
"Your Majesty has achieved a great victory: the dragon-slaying novel has completely disappeared!"
