The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon.

Royal capital
The grand entrance to the palace
Eight royal guards clad in full armor stood like tough stone sculptures on the road to the core of power.

They held long swords tightly in their hands, the blades gleaming coldly in the morning light. They stood still like sculptures, guarding the inviolable throne.

In the sunlight, the soldiers' sharp eagle eyes flashed under their helmets.

Even through the precise mesh, the cold murderous aura still penetrated through the numerous obstacles, like a chilly winter wind, making people shudder.

Even from a distance, passers-by can feel the breathtaking coldness.

Soldiers who can guard the main gate of the palace are naturally not ordinary people.

They are not only a barrier to the palace, but also a symbol of the king's dignity.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that there are only eight people.

Once these people take action, combined with the palace's protective formation, even a legendary warrior may not be able to quickly eliminate them in a short period of time.

Each of them is a battle-hardened soldier selected from the Five Color Legion. Only after special training and selection can they be qualified to join the King's Royal Guard.

The most special thing about the King's Guards is that they only obey the king's orders.

After joining, even the former legion commander himself has no right to command them to do anything.

Anyone who wants to pass through here must be inspected by these guards.

Even the king's concubine is no exception to this.

Just when the atmosphere was solemn, a clear voice broke the silence.

"Good morning."

A girl in a white wizard robe slowly walked over.

Her long silver hair fluttered gently in the morning breeze, and her red pupils were like shining gems, full of vitality and warmth.

Vivian waved gently to several familiar uncles with a warm smile on her face.

Several guards relaxed their shoulders slightly at her arrival.

Although still alert, the seriousness on her face seemed to be alleviated by her smile.

"Good day, Her Highness Vivian."

One of the young soldiers took the initiative to step out of the line and came to Weiwei to salute, with a hint of admiration in his tone:
"Are you coming to the palace to study again today?"

Vivian shook her head slightly, still smiling: "Today is about other things."

The young soldier was stunned for a moment, and was about to continue asking questions when he was interrupted by the captain of the guard beside him:

"Okay, get out of the way and don't delay Her Royal Highness the Princess."

As he spoke, the captain forcibly pulled the young soldier aside and made way for Vivian to the palace.

At the same time, he bowed to Vivian apologetically:
"I'm sorry, Princess, this boy is new here and doesn't know the rules of the palace yet."

"It's ok."

Vivian smiled and said nothing more, just waved her hand:

"Then I'll be leaving first, Uncle Quill and everyone else."

Except for the young soldier, the other veterans bowed their heads and saluted, saying in unison:
"May the morning breeze of Karen accompany you on your journey."

Wait until the white figure walks farther and farther away and disappears at the end of sight.

The captain of the guard then raised his head, turned around, stretched out his fist and hit the young soldier on the shoulder with a "bang".

The collision of armor made a crisp sound similar to tinnitus.

The terrifying force caused the young soldier to take several steps back. He felt a tightness in his chest and a faint sweetness in his mouth.

The other veterans who witnessed all this acted as if they didn't see anything.

"Do your job and don't think about things you shouldn't think about."

The captain of the guard had a sharp look and a cold voice.

He stared at the young soldier who had just joined the team, and said in an icy tone:
"You have gone through so many tests and suffered so much to finally come to the capital. I hope you will cherish this rare opportunity and not throw your life away here in vain."

After a pause, the captain of the guard seemed to be thinking about whether it was necessary to give further warnings, but in the end he chose to end gently:

"This is the last piece of advice."

The captain of the guard glared at him:
"In the capital, don't have any bad thoughts about Princess Vivian, otherwise no one can save you."

"I don't want my team to lose members due to any factors other than combat. Do you understand?"

The young soldier trembled slightly, his heart tightened, and he realized that he had received a valuable reminder from his predecessor.

He took a deep breath and responded in a low voice:

"Yes, Captain, I will remember that."

Then, he endured the pain in his arm, stood still, and continued his guard duty.

It seemed that the other party had really listened.

The captain of the guard exchanged glances with the veterans, nodded silently, and said nothing more.

As defenders of rights, these veterans are clear about one thing:

That is, in this land of power, some things can be obtained through your own efforts; but some things, even if you try your best for them, will eventually end up in pieces.

It was as if they, just military men, could easily stop those arrogant ministers without having to care about their expressions.

It has nothing to do with ability, it's just the rule.

at the same time
Inside the palace

Vivian hummed an unknown song and walked alone on the white stone road that was wide enough for eight dragon cars to pass side by side.

Halfway through her walk, she suddenly stopped.

After glancing around to make sure no one noticed her, Vivian shook her head slightly and called out softly:

"Ron?"

As the words fall
The next second, a faintly transparent young dragon appeared above Vivian's head.

That was Ron who had activated his power to become invisible and shrunk his body.

"Hmm~~~~What's wrong?"

Ron lay on Vivian's hat, stretched out his body, and responded sleepily.

This is the seventh day that Ron has been accompanying his child to study.

Entering the palace with Vivian is actually quite boring.

In order to achieve ambitious goals in the future.

Every day, under the arrangement of the old king, Vivian had to learn more than ten different royal courses and special magic, and also had to master the languages ​​of the six mainstream races in the star realm.

The degree of their tiredness is comparable to that of the oxen and horses in the sprint period of their senior year in high school in their previous life!
In the past, Hermione was generally responsible for the task of accompanying children to study.

Unfortunately, Hermione has just finished the Celebration of Life and is currently recuperating at home, so she is unable to continue this work.

After transforming from a construct to a human, although the appearance did not change, the internal structure was vastly different.

For example: a simple [raising your hand] action.

In the past, Hermione only needed to give orders to the central device and then use magic power to raise her arms.

After becoming a human, Hermione needs to let the brain transmit information to the nerves, and then the nerves transmit it to the muscle cells. Then, through stretching and rotating the four joints (sternoclavicular joint, acromioclavicular joint, scapula-thoracic joint, and glenohumeral joint), precise interaction is required. At the same time, the muscles and soft tissues need to be balanced with each other, as well as the participation of the thoracic spine, in order to complete the action of [raising hands].

This huge change caused Hermione to be unable to stand steadily when she just finished the transformation.

Of course, this was a week ago.

Hermione has now almost passed the period of adapting to her new body.

However, although she said that she had recovered well and her strength had almost recovered, she could act independently.

But Ron still insisted on arranging for her to get familiar with her new body with the help of Gaia.

As for the reason.
Who can resist a cute sister who wags her tail and calls you "brother" affectionately?

Anyway, Ron couldn't resist and could only "give up the pain" and sell out his good daughter mercilessly~~
As for accompanying your studies.

Anyway, Ron happened to be very free recently, so he took over his daughter's vacant "task".

Vivian hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively:

"If Hermione is really aging as Gaia said."

"So that's what happened."

Ron yawned and said casually:
"Gaia is just too worried. She doesn't think that since I can use the power of life and death, it would be easy for me to free a human from the shackles of lifespan."

"In the worst case scenario, I can also let her enter my kingdom of God. Wouldn't it be easy for her to gain the power of eternal life?"

Vivian was stunned, with a confused look in her eyes:

"Huh? Is it so easy to change your life span?"

In Vivian's original understanding, life span was something sacred and inviolable. She always thought that the length of life was part of the laws of nature and could not be easily changed.

However, Ron's words completely overturned her worldview. In his words, life span seemed to be just a material that could be shaped at will, as if he was talking about a ball of plasticine, which could be rolled or flattened without any sense of weight.

Noticing Vivian's surprise and confusion, Ron stretched out his dragon claws unhappily and tapped her head gently:
"Fool, don't underestimate the power of a dragon god!"

After being knocked, Vivian was stunned, and then she couldn't help but smile:
"Hey hey hey"

The familiar tone and friendly knocking made Vivian feel the long-lost warmth.

Ever since she became "Her Royal Highness the Princess", people around her have feared and respected her because of her identity, but have forgotten that she is still just an underage girl.

This loneliness and pressure almost made her forget the taste of simple happiness.

Apart from the people in the Castle of Justice, only Ron's attitude towards her remained unchanged.

"Ron?" she whispered.

"Hmm?" Ron responded.

"It's okay, I just wanted to call you."

She felt for some reason that just calling out like this was a great comfort.

"???"

Ron was slightly startled.

But then, as if he realized something, he curled his lips and slightly lowered his floating height so that his body could actually fit above Vivian's head.

This intimate gesture gradually dissipated Vivian's depression.

She couldn't help but reach out her hand and gently touch the slender dragon tail hanging on her shoulder. The smooth touch of the colorful dragon scales made her feel familiar and at ease.

In this brief moment, all worries seem to be thrown behind, leaving only pure happiness and relaxation.

Watching Vivian humming a song and jumping like the wind as she ran towards the palace council hall.

Ron's mouth curled up into a smile unconsciously.

What a fool you are! Don’t you even doubt whether I own the kingdom of God?

Really, trust is something that should never be given to others so easily in the future.

Ron gently lowered his dragon head, inhaling the jasmine scent from the girl's hair. Lying on the hat, he began to relax and his eyes gradually became ethereal.

[Regarding matters concerning the Kingdom of God, it is indeed time to start preparing. ]

Ron thought silently.

Although he acted relaxed and casual in front of Vivian, he did not let his guard down.

Ron knew very well that establishing the Kingdom of God was not an easy task.

Just think about it, even the action of raising an arm requires so many steps. The details and complexities that need to be considered in establishing a country are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people!

First of all, the spatial construction of the Kingdom of God requires a stable and self-consistent system of laws to ensure that the life therein can survive for a long time without being affected by external factors.

Secondly, he needs to determine which lives can enter and how to manage and maintain order in this space.

At the same time, Ron also needs to carefully consider the possible impact of the existence of the Kingdom of God on the outside world and where the entrance to the Kingdom of God should be located.

After thinking about it for a long time, Ron suddenly had an idea and thought of a method similar to "cheating"!

That is to directly transform the existing material plane into one's own kingdom of God!

If other gods knew this idea, they would definitely sneer at it.

Because in order to completely occupy a material plane and transform it into a kingdom of God, the divine power and power of faith required are extremely enormous, and it is almost impossible for any god to do this.

The reason why Ron came up with this idea was because he had a special item.

In the endless spiritual world
Ron's body gradually materialized in the air.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the two balls of light of different colors in the sky, one purple and one gold.

The purple ball is the various magical inheritances that Xinni left for him.

In addition to various types of magic, it even includes the method of making exclusive divine arts such as the Magic Crown, which can be called the complete collection of spells of the Rainbow Dragon Clan!
The other ball of golden light was Ron's target this time:
That's one

The seeds of the [Kingdom of God]!

--------

Following the message sent by the king, Vivian quickly came to the door of the council hall and waited.

She felt slightly nervous.

Although it was already a year ago since I first entered the kingdom.

But whenever she entered such a formal occasion, she still felt a little uneasy.

"Your Highness, this way."

The appearance of a masked black-armored guard interrupted Vivian's thoughts:

"plz follow me."

"Oh." Vivian nodded quickly and followed.

The guard led her through several corridors and finally stopped in front of a hidden secret door.

The door was slightly open, letting in a dim light, as if waiting for her arrival.

at the same time
The council hall on the other side was already packed with elders and ministers.

They whispered to each other, their faces full of confusion and anxiety.

Everyone was puzzled as to why the old king suddenly summoned all the ministers.

And the golden throne on the steps was still empty, as if waiting for its owner to return.

Below the throne, six bronze chairs were lined up in a row.

Six old men with white hair and beards sat steadily in their respective seats, closing their eyes and resting.

Although the people below were talking a lot, no one dared to step forward and ask the six old men.

Because they possess power second only to the king in the Rose Kingdom, and are the most powerful existence besides the king - the [Council of Elders]!
The existence of the Council of Elders is an indispensable part of the current political system of the Rose Kingdom.

These elderly people who are over 100 years old not only have rich experience and wisdom, but are also responsible for handling various government affairs under the king's commission.

At this moment, the expressions of the old men were different, but they all looked very solemn.

In fact, even they didn't know what the purpose of the old king's call was.

I have to mention here

The political structure of the Rose Kingdom is actually very unique.

This is different from the Frost Kingdom and the (old) Orc Kingdom, where the king holds all power and all matters are decided by the king.

The political system of the Rose Kingdom was established by the first emperor: Victor Bryan.

Its overall structure is more similar to the "cabinet system" in Ron's previous life.

That is, part of the king's power was delegated to many ministers represented by the "House of Elders" and "Council".

They are like worker bees in a hive, surrounding a political structure centered on the "king" and each performing corresponding tasks.

At the same time, the king's decrees are also issued directly to the lords of each city, and the lords will pass them down to the towns and villages under their jurisdiction, and so on to implement hierarchical rule.

The king himself only needs to firmly grasp the direct control of the army represented by the "Five Color Legion" and the "Court Mage Corps" to easily command these "civil officials" to work for him.

In this way, not only can the king's energy in handling government affairs every day be greatly reduced, allowing him to have sufficient time to study and improve his own strength, but it can also prevent the possibility of collusion between the army and civil officials.

The reason for this structure is also due to Karen's special environment.

After all, this is a supernatural world with magic, not the real Middle Ages.

No matter which country it is, as long as you control the power of the military, it is equivalent to controlling the power of the entire country.

The Rose system perfectly meets this requirement.

Although these ministers seem to be extremely powerful on a daily basis, they are second only to the emperor and above everyone else.

But in fact, as long as the king opens his mouth, these once powerful people will instantly fall into the abyss - because their rights entirely come from the king's grant.

This special political structure is also one of the important reasons why Ron suspected that the first emperor En was a time traveler.

However, today, the emperor has long passed away, and Ron is too lazy to explore his identity.

After all, the star realm is so vast that there will always be one or two people who have similar experiences.

The so-called time travel is nothing more than an explanation given by mortals because they are unable to understand the behavior of higher-level life forms.

Just like Ron was chosen by Io's fragment of godhood.

Perhaps the emperor also came to the material plane of Karen for some special reason - such as obtaining the spark of an unlucky mage, and established his own great achievements here.

And now

Ron planned to "sort out" the legacy of this predecessor who traveled through time.

He wants to transform Karen into his own kingdom of God.

The starting point of all this, of course, is the most familiar Rose Kingdom! (End of this chapter)
