Elden Gulong in American comics

But Ed knew one thing on the first day he came to the Holy Tree. The Holy Tree protected all comers equally.

Therefore, there is no difference between the Platinum Sons, hybrids and humans. As long as they have the blessing, they can all be said to be one of their own.

This is probably a strange borderland racial identity, but Ed has been taught this way since he was a child. As long as the golden tree accepts the other person, the two people are one of their own.

"And tomorrow is a big day, we are going to visit the Holy Tree."

Ed held the woman's hand. He worked here for more than a year and finally obtained the qualification to go to the Holy Tree. He was able to leave Ceremony Town and go to see the Holy Tree.

As family members, women are also qualified to accompany them to the Holy Tree, which is the holy land of the Sons of Platinum and the only place in the entire border that can protect them.

The woman nodded silently and put away the clothes:

"Then I'll use this fabric to sew a cloak. When we go to the Holy Tree, it shouldn't be too simple."

Chapter 326: Gu Long lying on the pile of money

The next day, Ed made a move, helped his wife onto the wheelchair, and then pushed her out of the house.

The Sons of Platinum have a natural defect, and their legs will gradually deteriorate over time. Even though Ed's wife is still very young, her legs have reached the point where she can no longer use them.

Because of this, there are always slopes beside the stairs in towns to facilitate those Platinum Sons in wheelchairs.

"This thing is really good. It's more comfortable to make than a wolf."

His wife said softly, stroking the armrests of the wheelchair. Ed puffed up his chest after hearing this: "That's right, I did it."

Ed's production line produces wheelchairs. In addition to the Platinum Sons, there are many disabled soldiers in the Holy Tree. The demand for prosthetics and wheelchairs has always been high.

It was precisely because of this that Ed met his current wife, whose wolf died in the snowfield, so he needed a tool to travel.

The two walked forward chatting and laughing, mingling with the workers on the morning shift. Ed bought two sugar cakes from a roadside stall. This high-fat and high-sugar breakfast was very popular among the workers. popular.

Ed handed his wife a sugar cake, and then took a bowl of soup from the stall. The soup was filled with bits of meat and root vegetables, and was stewed so thickly that only a few wealthy workers would be willing to buy a bowl. Drink in small sips.

The wife smiled, took a sip, and exhaled some white air. Several familiar workers winked at Ed, and looked at each other's pretty wife with envy.

"Ed, you're a big shot now."

"That's right, you are going to see the Holy Tree."

While talking to acquaintances, Ed ate up the sugar cookies in his hands as he walked. The candy was quite abundant, even a little too sweet, but Ed didn't care. He just felt an unbearable tension. .

In front of the factory, there were several Holy Tree Knights waiting there. They were guarding a table, and next to them was a humanoid robot with a white appearance. Ed took a few deep breaths and then walked over.

"Sir, I am Ed, a worker on Line [-] of the prosthetic limb factory."

The robot turned around and scanned Ed's face with a ray of light in its eyes:

"Worker Ed, welcome to your arrival. You are in the seventh position. Please line up."

Ed nodded hurriedly, and then stood in the middle of the queue. He had heard the story of this doll. It was said that it was a strange creation brought back by Master Gu Long from another world. It was a very intelligent being.

But the name is very strange, it seems to be "Ultron".

As everyone arrived, a commendation ceremony began. The workers lined up and walked onto the podium. The Knight of the Holy Tree took out a leaf of the holy tree and gently inserted it into their chests.

It is obviously just a small golden leaf, but it is indeed a great honor for these people. In fact, the leaf contains the power of the holy tree, which can prevent them from feeling cold in the snowy field.

This is a medal belonging to the people of the Holy Tree.

After the investiture ceremony, the workers, led by the Knights of the Holy Tree, headed to the northernmost end of Ceremonial Town, where there was a portal to the Holy Tree, which was the most important existence in the entire Ceremonial Town.

The worker walked uneasily and followed the Holy Tree Knight. Ed looked behind him. Behind him was a hybrid with bird-like claws and feathers and dragon scales on his body.

Ed has heard the story about this hybrid. It is said that although he is a hybrid, he has a very flexible mind and improved a production line through self-study, so he was awarded a prize.

Compared with humans, hybrids are stronger and have been the obvious choice for blacksmiths and miners a long time ago. But now, they have become workers of the Holy Tree and continue to use their racial talents.

As the team advanced, some workers even lowered their heads and began to pray. Ed's wife also clasped her hands and worshiped towards the holy tree in the distance.

That is the great existence that protects them and is worthy of their prayers.

Under the guidance of the knight, the portal was activated. Unlike the previous portals that used pyroxene magic, this portal now became larger and truly looked like a door.

The two-person high metal door was engraved with the image of an ancient dragon, and thunder wrapped around the door, making the door look so sacred that Ed held his breath.

Under everyone's gaze, the door opened, and blue light came out, showing the scene on the other side of the door.

It was a branch of a holy tree. There were countless golden leaves on the huge tree branches. The golden light was shining. The workers were bathed in the golden light. Many of them even knelt on the ground and shed tears looking at this sacred scene. .

"It's so, so sacred."

Ed wiped the tears from his wife's eyes, and the two walked into the portal and saw the bright sacred tree.

"Ah, I finally came here, the holy land belonging to the Platinum Sons."

The wife said softly, looking blankly at the sacred tree in front of her.

In the distance, several red figures were lying on the branches of the sacred tree, looking curiously at the workers walking in the distance.

"Ma Lin, don't block me, get out of the way."

"Sister Mary, wouldn't it be nice if you went over there?"

These children are the five clones of Malenia. The leader is the eldest sister Mary. Her eyes are not very good and she is squinting to look at the workers below.

The second child, Ma Lin, stood tallest, with red hair covering half of her face. She stretched her neck and looked at several alien workers with unique shapes.

The third sister, Amy, was carrying a short sword on her back and leaned to the side, looking at her two sisters helplessly. She was not interested in the dispute between the two and only wanted to surpass her youngest sister in swordsmanship:

Millicent, this one-armed girl has an amazing talent in water swordsmanship. Just like Marlenia, she has become a unique swordsman at a very young age.

At this moment, the other party was lying on a twig, sticking her head out from above and looking down. Behind her was her fourth sister Pollyanna. This girl had short hair and loved to play like a boy, but she couldn't beat Milly. Sen, so he could only become the other party's little follower.

"Are they the workers of Ceremony Town? They look much weaker than me." The eldest sister Mary curled her lips and said with some disdain.

"But Dad said that it was the things they created that allowed the Holy Tree to control the junction." Millicent said seriously. The fourth child behind him scratched his head and said with some confusion:

"They must be craftsmen who make weapons, otherwise how could they control the border area."

Millicent pursed her lips and said softly: "I don't know, but according to Dad, this seems to be called..."

"free trade?"

At this moment, at the bottom of the holy tree, Gu Long woke up from his dream, looked at the gold piled around him, which was taller than himself, and sighed:

"Money, damn money."

“There’s almost no space left here.”

Chapter 327: Clues to the Tinder

Whenever Gu Long lay on the throne made of gold coins and silverware, he would always think of the afternoon when Ultron brought a stack of documents.

"Lord Locke, according to my analysis of the junction, this world has great potential."

"We can use cheap industrial products to control the economies of other regions, while promoting our own currency in the transaction process."

“In this way, it only takes a short time for us to achieve profits that are far beyond our imagination.”

Ultron said seriously, and the time that followed proved him right.

Currency cast from the Ancient Dragon's scales became the only designated currency for transactions around the Holy Tree. A large amount of gold was exchanged for dragon coins and then piled in the Holy Tree, becoming a nuisance to the Ancient Dragon.

As for the creations produced in the Holy Tree Factory, they were resold by merchants and spread across the border at exaggeratedly low prices, smashing the workshops that were still in the stage of small handicraft industry to pieces.

Fortunately, the slavery system still exists in the border area, so most of the workshops are slaves. These slaves lost their jobs and became the most loyal fans of the Holy Tree.

Because they have nowhere to go but the Holy Tree.

So these slaves who lost their jobs were incited to move towards the sacred tree in uprising after uprising, where they would become workers and put into work again.

But what can I say, at least they are free.

In this way, the snowfield in the north has become the richest area in the border area. Just a few leftovers from Gu Long's hands are enough for the people who come here to live the life they dream of.

But obviously, Gu Long still underestimated the speed of his wealth. When Gu Long woke up from his dream, he looked at the gorgeously decorated treasures and dots of gems around him and showed a helpless smile.

"It's too much to spend."

Gu Long complained as he moved several swords inlaid with gems aside.

The largest trading partners of the Holy Tree are the royal city of Rodel and the Stonewell City of Nimgofu. There are a large number of nobles in the past in these two cities, and the wealth they have accumulated for thousands of years is terrifying.

Of course, Lienia's magicians are also big traders, and these guys with stone brains don't mind using some new gadgets, such as factory-made stargazing glasses.

As a result, gold and various gems came one after another and became the treasure pile under the ancient dragon.

“Perhaps we don’t need to spend all the money, but can keep some of it.”

Michaela poked her head out of the tree trunk in a soul state, and looked at the shining golden treasures on the ground with a smile. Gu Long helplessly used his tail to pull some gems aside to clear a path.

"These things are not interesting, I don't like them yet."

Gu Long shook his head. He was not that kind of ordinary dragon. Compared with these treasures, he preferred other things, such as the laws of gods, or a new world.

"Instead of letting these things mold, let's make them work."

"In a few years, we only need to shake the coins in our hands, and other forces will be able to lift us into the golden tree."

Michaela laughed, and the laughter spread like a silver bell. Then she flew over and hugged Gu Long's neck:

"I like this method very much. The only problem is our identity."

Gu Long nodded. Michaela had been sentenced to blasphemy by two fingers before. This kind of punishment similar to excommunication made many forces stay away from the holy tree.

But as time went by, relying on the expansion of the power of the Holy Tree and the good reputation that Mikaela originally accumulated, this doubt gradually faded away.

But if you want the holy tree to become the existence that dominates the junction, you still have to pass the two-finger level.

To this end, Gu Long needs to find the backhand left by Marika, the fire that can burn the golden tree, so that the original golden tree can be burned to the ground, and then recast the magic ring to make himself the new god of the junction.

However, this grand plan has not yet taken the crucial first step. Even though the information about the Holy Tree is spread throughout the border area, there is very little news about the fire.

It is said that the two-fingered witch contains information about fire. Unfortunately, the Holy Tree released the Death Rune before, so the relationship with all the two-fingered witches is not very good.

Gu Long tidied up and transformed into a human being. Due to the influence of the Law of Fertility, Gu Long's body was fixed in a young state. Therefore, he practiced the transformation spells hard during this period and was finally able to reluctantly transform into an adult. appearance.

He climbed up the stairs, stretched, and came to the office in the middle of the Holy Tree. A stack of documents as high as half a person was piled on a wooden table, and several magicians next to him were sorting the information into categories.
