I, a Celestial Dragon!

So go ski on your own, or go find Uta.”
"Uta has been busy writing songs and auditioning lately, she ignores me, woooooooooooo!"
Bai Xing felt really sad after being rejected by Vivi. There were too few children on the boat. After Uta and Vivi found things to do, she was left alone and felt helpless.
And when Vivi heard Bai Xing's words, she showed an expression of surprise.
“Look, Uta has his own things to do, and so do I.
So, Shirahoshi, you have to find yourself a real hobby!"
After saying that, Weiwei started eating the meat, while Bai Xing stood aside, thinking in confusion for a long time.
Should I really find something to do?
Will you really be thrown off the boat if you still only know how to play in your twenties?
For some reason, Shirahoshi, who didn't understand what involution was, seemed to see himself ten years later.
As a grown-up mermaid, I actually haven’t grown at all since ten years ago…
And then, Lord Gawain viciously threw her from the Xuanniao into the water.
I was drifting alone in the sea, watching Uta, who had grown into a better singer, and Weiwei, who had grown into a better fighter, look at me with regret...
Just like that, as he thought about it, Bai Xing rushed towards Gao Wen with tears in his eyes.
She must ask the adults what she should learn while she is young so that she will not be abandoned by them!
……
At the same time, in the Xuanniao recording studio, Uta finished singing the song she had composed not long ago.
The heavy snow that never melts on Dongdao Island all year round brought her unique inspiration and helped her find the passion for creation.
Therefore, creators always have to go out. Even if they create behind closed doors, at least they have to go out before doing so.
I have never stopped, never passed by anyone, and never been passed by by anyone.
How can we have the inspiration to continue to improve?
Just as Uta stopped singing, Gordon stood up from the equipment not far away.
His expression looked a little heavy, and he asked Uta thoughtfully.
"Princess, are we really going to stay on this ship forever?"
"why not?"
Uta agreed without even turning his head.
Listening to Uta's answer, Gordon took a deep breath.
"But, in Alessia, those people who were summoned into a beautiful dream by your singing, Princess...
Princess, are you really determined to give up on them?"
“I didn’t give up!!!”
At this moment, Uta's face was suddenly covered with a layer of gloom. She bit her lips and shook her head desperately.
"It was all a dream, all a dream!
Just like I had always dreamed, Shanks would reappear in front of me and take me back to their ship!
But the truth is different from those things. He is a pirate. Once he enters this sea, he can never look back and he will never stop!
He shattered my dreams, and also destroyed that country and massacred most of the people on that island!
I don't hate him because I never understood him!
But I don’t want to dream anymore, never again!!!”
While yelling, Uta threw away his headphones fiercely.
Looking at the headphones that were thrown away, Gordon sighed, then quickly rushed over and intercepted the headphones from the air.
Holding headphones, Gordon came to Uta in silence. He lowered his head, and it was unknown what kind of emotions were brewing in his heart.
After about half a minute of silence, Gordon raised his head again, with a not-so-good-looking but extremely sincere smile on his face.
“You are right, Princess, you don’t need to dream anymore.
Those dreams you once had of wandering on the sea and fighting against the waves have now become a reality.
But anyway, Princess Uta.
Musicians, you can’t throw away your headphones…”
As he spoke, Gordon gently put the headset on Uta's head. Seeing this, Uta's heart sank.
She took a breath with a sob, and then her hands automatically went to the headset.
Stroking his earphones, Uta couldn't help but ask slowly.
"Uncle Gordon, will the people of the Music City be sad without me?"
"Probably not..."
Gordon replied with a smile.
"After all, life without you is just like you waking up from a dream to them."
After saying that, Gordon looked at Uta with a smile, and Uta nodded very seriously.
"Yes, we all just woke up from a dream. Now, I have found someone who doesn't need me to dream anymore.
As long as I follow him, I will definitely see the future he is creating, and also see a life that I cannot even imagine in my dreams.
He is such a trustworthy person, at least I felt so every minute I stood beside him!"
After saying that, Uta calmed down and picked up his draft paper.
"Don't think about that, Uncle Gordon!"
She just said it with boundless energy.
"I'd better show my new song to the adults. He will definitely like my new song, for sure!!!"
……
……
……
At the same time, on the bow, Gawain was whispering instructions to Dalton.
"You've been doing pretty well these past few days, so why are you still talking to me about your country? You shouldn't be at the point where you're overwhelmed, right, Dalton?"
"Of course not, sir!"
Dalton said to Gawain seriously.
“As for governing a country, although I am totally incompetent, your subordinates have helped me a lot.
With their help, and I still remember the old king's appearance clearly, so there is no problem at all in terms of governing.
But I still have some difficulties, my lord. I know how to take care of the civilians in the kingdom, but I don't know how to restore their hope.
After experiencing the period of Walpo's rule, everyone in the Drum Kingdom now lives with extreme caution.
They have developed the habit of saving money. They basically don't spend money. Whatever they earn from work, they keep it all at home.
It's only been half a month, and the business of the Drum Kingdom has not shown any signs of recovery, and the tax collection is a little insufficient!"
Having said that, Dalton knelt heavily on the ground.
"Sir, there are less than two months left until the deadline for handing in the gold from heaven this year!
After handing in the Heavenly Gold, we will have to attend the World Conference next summer, which will cost another large sum of money!
However, there is no money in the palace of the Drum Kingdom now.
In addition, the extreme poverty in the past, when even food was hard to come by, made people develop the habit of saving, resulting in the country's lack of a source of commercial taxes.
In this case, we simply won't be able to collect all the gold from heaven within two months. If we have to collect it, I can only... I can only increase taxes on the people out of thin air like Valpo did.
I really don't want to do something like that, but I...there's nothing I can do!
Therefore, please teach me how to overcome the difficulties ahead!"
At this point, Dalton burst into tears, and he looked at Gawain expectantly with his tearful eyes.
And Gawain...
He tilted his head in thought.
"Is this the case? It's really strange. Could it be that after all the years of levying heavy taxes on people, Valpo has no money left for emergency?
Dalton, are you sure Valpo didn't leave anything for you..."
"Cough cough!!!"
When Gawain said this, Kalifa behind him coughed twice.
Hearing the cough, Gawain looked at Kalifa in confusion. Kalifa quickly leaned close to Gawain's ear and explained in a very low voice.
“My lord, when Mr. Yixiao and his two companions raided the Cigu Kingdom’s palace, Mr. Daxiong destroyed the palace with one move, and Mr. Xiliu killed most of the nobles and guards in the palace.
After that, Mr. Yixiao simply used his power to separate the ruins and the treasure, so the treasure of Walpo is on our ship..."
"Uh……"
Hearing this, Gao Wen's brows twitched.
Well, it turns out the real owner is here with me.
However, Gawain would not spit out the meat he had eaten, even if he ate it while sleepwalking.
After all, no one in this ocean needs money more than him...
So he smiled and said to Dalton.
"Dalton, even if Valpo doesn't have any extra money, there are still other nobles in the Drum Kingdom, right?
Now, the era of Valpo has passed, whether it is the nobles or the guys who followed Valpo to do evil.
Their wealth, you can completely..."
"Cough cough!!!"
At this moment, Kalifa beside her coughed twice.
Hearing the cough, Gao Wen's face suddenly darkened.
Could it be...? !!
Just as Gawain was guessing, Kalifa really came to Gawain's ear and continued to speak softly.
"My lord, the nobles and big merchants of the Drum Kingdom who committed many evil deeds were selected by Mr. Xiliu ten days ago and taken to the execution ground to have their heads chopped off.
As for their property, Spandam immediately took people to clean it up and sent it to our ship.
so……"
"Uh, so we left nothing for Dalton?"
Hearing this, Gawain felt helpless, and he asked Kalifa leisurely.
Hearing this, Kalifa pushed her glasses up angrily.
"Sir, at least when Mr. Xiliu executed the nobles, the common people of the Drum Kingdom were very happy to see it..."
“This is really… oh.”
Gawain shook his head helplessly, then he reached out and pulled Dalton up from the ground.
“Excuse me, King Dalton, no wonder you’ve been having such a hard time lately.
I thought it was simply because you were not yet accustomed to the position of king and were unable to make good use of the legacy of the Valpo government.
As a result, I was the mastermind behind this..."
As he spoke, Gawain threw a bottle of wine jokingly, and after Dalton caught the wine, he continued with a smile.
"I understand. I won't be leaving here for about five days. During these five days, I will help you think of a solution.
If there is really no other way, then wait for the CP department to come and collect taxes, that is, collect the gold from heaven.
