Chapter 361: Want to Strengthen the Country? Change a Title First
"Landorus, Tornadus, Thundurus, these are their names."
Will nodded gently.
If discussing the level of understanding of "magical beasts."
In this era, he could indeed be called a Sage, even this title was a bit unworthy of him (too low).
"Is that so...? State Preceptor, do you know the Divine Dragon of our Kingdom of the Vale back then?"
Dresa murmured the names of the Forces of Nature, then asked again.
"Mm."
Will nodded.
Just when he thought Dresa would ask something related to the Divine Dragon.
But he found the other party stopped the question just right.
Will glanced at him, sensing the Aura of curiosity and caution mixed in his heart, gaining some insight.
Too many people around.
So inconvenient to ask?
Will felt nothing; even if ordinary people knew about that dragon, it would be meaningless.
But since Dresa didn't ask, he wouldn't say it actively.
This made the soldiers around feel a bit anxious in their hearts, but there was no way; they dared not overstep to ask.
Advanced for another twenty minutes.
Along the way, whenever Dresa encountered a Pokémon, he had to ask Will its name, habits, and combat ability.
Will could answer all of them, and also cited some cases not in the Pokédex, seen with his own eyes during travel.
For a time, the soldiers of the Kingdom of the Vale didn't know anything else.
The first impression of their own State Preceptor was "Omniscient."
The army gradually walked out of the forest.
After marching on the grassland for a while, they came to Eindoak Town surrounded by huge stone walls.
Comparing Eindoak with the Royal Capital of Draconids.
Material development was indeed more advanced, which was normal.
After all, the era they were in now was about a century later than the era when Liz became King.
If talking about where the Kingdom of Draconids was more advanced...
That was only the relationship between humans and Pokémon.
"Roar~"
Druddigon saw the huge city walls and started to be timid again.
Along the way before.
Will asked the soldiers around to feed him, reducing Druddigon's fear of humans; now seeing humans shouldn't be too scary.
But seeing this city inhabited by humans, it was inevitable to tremble.
This is also one of the reasons humans build huge city walls.
Not only to guard against enemy countries but also to guard against magical beasts.
Pokémon in the era of magical beasts didn't have such great curiosity; seeing human cities so huge, they dared not break in here for a while.
Only Pokémon in the future would curiously break into human cities.
That's also because they knew humans wouldn't hurt them.
"Don't be afraid."
Will reached out and rubbed Druddigon's head.
"State Preceptor, this little brother of yours..."
Dresa glanced at Druddigon, wanting to say something but stopped.
Only now did he understand Druddigon's nature, and understood those previous actions of Druddigon.
"Don't look at this child's big size; actually, he is less than a month old, and the growth environment has always been relatively harsh."
Will was relatively protective of Big Silly, explaining for him.
"This is one month old?"
Dresa showed an incredulous expression on his face.
But seeing the Sawsbuck under him, he felt this kind of thing happening to magical beasts seemed quite normal.
Entering Eindoak.
The streets inside the city were very wide, with a distance of at least thirty meters between the two sides of the road.
The number of residents living in the town was also quite large.
Just this street just entering the city gate, there were at least hundreds of people trading and interacting on the street.
"Lord King~"
"Your Majesty~"
"Welcome back~"
People sent warm welcomes immediately upon seeing Dresa; many even jumped up and waved their arms.
Will could tell.
These people respected and liked the person beside him from the bottom of their hearts.
Presumably.
Whether this King is capable aside, his character should be quite good.
This made Will have a bit more recognition in his heart.
Perhaps.
A King with a more cruel character could push a country to a more prosperous level.
For example, sakaki the white, the King of the Kingdom of Earth in Kanto.
In terms of disposition and means as a King, definitely much stronger than Liz.
Without Will's appearance, letting Liz accidentally discover the combination of human and Pokémon power, the Kingdom of Draconids would simply be impossible to be born.
Maybe scattered by the Silph tribe long ago.
But repeating ten thousand times.
Will would still insist on choosing to stand on Liz's side.
Not only because Liz was kind and gentle, good to him.
But also because Liz truly achieved "The people are the most important, the state comes second, and the ruler is the least."
While Giovanni White was very cruel to the people and subordinates, using them completely as consumables.
Will really didn't want to become the help of such a person, and then go on to harm the people of the world.
Dresa not being such a person made him feel relieved a lot.
"Roar..."
At this time, Druddigon under him shook his head gently.
Will, recovering his senses, looked around.
He suddenly found those humans staring at him and Druddigon with amazed eyes.
Even a bit more gaze on Druddigon.
Will pondered slightly.
Probably understood why these people looked at him.
Nothing more than being amazed at his identity for being able to walk in the position closest to Dresa.
But the eyes of those people looking at Druddigon had some other meanings.
Will confirmed again and again.
Finally had to admit, it was "worship."
That's right.
These people were actually worshipping Druddigon.
"Because of the Divine Dragon, the subjects of the Kingdom of the Vale have blind worship for dragon-shaped magical beasts. But dragon-shaped magical beasts are generally rare and powerful, hard to capture, so few can be seen in the Kingdom of the Vale. Rare to see, uncontrollably looking a few more times."
Dresa explained the reason for the worship appearing in people's eyes.
Even he himself was like this.
Although the Sawsbuck under him was 1.5 meters taller than Druddigon, Dresa still hoped in his heart that his mount was a dragon.
If Will was willing to exchange with him, Dresa would hesitate for at most three seconds.
These three seconds were still because Druddigon's personality gave him some concerns.
After all, this kind of personality.
Couldn't go on the battlefield.
"Is that so."
Will nodded, feeling understandable.
Dragon Pokémon are actually not few.
But if removing those Legendary Pokémon, Ultra Beasts, ancient era Pokémon, and those not looking like dragons.
Really not many left.
And half of the remaining are Pseudo-Legendaries, also rarely seen in this era of magical beasts.
Dragons these people in the Unova region can see.
Nothing more than Druddigon and Haxorus.
The Haxorus line gathers in the Village of Dragons, which is that piece of the central continent.
Druddigon shrinks in dark tunnel caves every day, running away upon seeing humans.
So it is normal for people of the Kingdom of the Vale to hardly see dragon-shaped magical beasts.
Will and Druddigon under Dresa's lead.
Went all the way towards the center of Eindoak.
Before long, that [Sword of the Vale] appeared in Will's vision.
"Does the State Preceptor know my palace has another name?"
Dresa pointed somewhat proudly at his palace, a proud smile on his face.
"Sword of the Vale, half is underground, right? The creation guarded by the People of the Vale for generations."
Will looked at it a few more times.
This was the first time he saw the Sword of the Vale.
"You even know this?! My god, State Preceptor, is there anything in this world you don't know?"
Dresa was really scared by Will this time.
After saying this sentence, he couldn't help raising his hand to cover his chest, his face changing color.
The Sword of the Vale is different from all those before!
The Sword of the Vale was a supreme giant sword created by the first King combining the power of the Divine Dragon and mysterious magical beasts two hundred years ago, possessing many unspeakable powerful forces.
In the testament left by the first King.
This giant sword is not only a castle capable of flying in the air, but also the core of a protective barrier,
And the key seal suppressing the Dragon Veins.
Even if the Kingdom of the Vale is destroyed, and the People of the Vale are exterminated, absolutely cannot let problems happen to the Sword of the Vale.
But those are ultimately just recorded things.
Actually, since the first King, the Sword of the Vale has never been activated, let alone appeared.
Dresa himself didn't know if this giant sword really had those powers; he didn't even know how this thing was created.
The reason Will could scare him.
Was because Dresa knew very well that the Sword of the Vale hadn't appeared in this world for more than a hundred years.
He dared to say no human in this world had seen the full picture of the Sword of the Vale.
Even Dresa himself hadn't.
In the entire Kingdom of the Vale, except for him, no one even knew there was a part of the palace underground. "I do know quite a lot, but not as exaggerated as you imagine. There are many things in this world beyond your imagination."
Will glanced at Dresa and shook his head.
The Sword of the Vale is indeed great, simply not a creation belonging to this era.
However.
Compared with the underwater moving castle "Samiya" (Temple of the Sea) built by the People of the Water unknown thousands of years ago.
Compared with the "Ultimate Weapon" built by AZ two thousand years ago that destroyed almost half of the Kalos region. The Sword of the Vale is just a little brother.
"If someone told me this before, I wouldn't believe it. But after seeing the State Preceptor, it seems it is indeed so."
Dresa didn't stay stubborn, nodding modestly,
"State Preceptor, you also saw the situation of Eindoak. What do you think we should do next to make the national power of the Kingdom of the Vale go a step further?"
"Want to strengthen the country?"
"Yes."
"Change a title first."
Will rolled his eyes, turning to look at the Pokémon rarely seen on the street.
"What?! Impossible! The Kingdom of the Vale absolutely cannot change its name; that way I would be ashamed to..."
"Not asking the Kingdom of the Vale to change its name; I mean the title 'magical beast,' needs to be changed."
Will shook his head.
"Magical beast? This... what is the significance of this?"
Dresa couldn't understand.
"Change the view of the People of the Vale on magical beasts from the subconscious, thereby changing the relationship between the people and magical beasts. Might not have much effect for a while, but you will know in five or ten years."
