I, The Dragon Overlord Chapter 199

Although it was impossible to guess her true identity, Louie knew that the elf queen had successfully piqued his interest with her offer. His prior vacillation had now solidified into a clear intention.

Although protagonists in novels would always gain benefits in their adventures, reality did not work that way. That kind of bullheaded thinking and behavior was definitely dangerous.

Now that he was able to find out the real state of the Gods from the elf queen, he understood that he was on the same starting line as the Gods, and might even be a few steps ahead of them. If he remained timid and did nothing, then he would probably not be able to raise his courage in this lifetime.

“You have succeeded in convincing me, Your Majesty!”

Louie played with the crystal cup in his hand and raised it to the queen, “As a dragon who aspires to be a God, it would be too cowardly of me to hesitate in this situation.”

“But I require a few days’ wait in the interest of preparations.”

Louie ran some calculations silently in his head. Because he had divinity, he could convert faith into divine power. Although the conversion rate was bad and could not reach the level of Gods, it was enough for demigod-level combat.

It must be known that the power of Gods was never expressed in combat but in the incredible miracles that they could create. Their extraordinary powers could do many unimaginable things. For example, the topography could change with just a word. They could also change the rules of the world such that only physical combat could be performed.

Louie would have no way of dealing with this since he was not yet a real god. The rules of this world did not allow the emergence of Gods yet.

Louie secretly calculated based on his accumulation rate of divine power after two months. If he wanted to fill up the godhood in a short period of time, it was an impossible thing to do, but the amount should be enough for him to be able to face off against a demigod.

‘In any case, even if the Gods are gradually waking up, they aren’t their original selves anymore. Under the situation where everyone is at the demigod level and does not have much divine power, I do not need to fear anything.’

Although the Gods were powerful and the speed at which they converted faith was much faster, they were no longer the same. There would be a limit to their conversion rates as they had already lost most of their believers. In the absence of faith, having a high conversion rate was useless. It was like an advanced car engine without any gasoline to start it up.

Louie had been spreading his faith in Dragon City. Although these beliefs were too scattered due to the momentary lack of proper organization, constructing a church would solve this problem in the long run. In terms of the total amount of faith that could be gathered, Louie should have surpassed most of the Gods that hadn’t awakened yet.

“The only ones Louie had to stay alert for would be the God of War and Goddess of Morning. These two Gods had been lucky to have the support of the faith from the people of the Theocracy. When facing them, Louie had to be extra careful.

“That is natural, but how long would it take for you to prepare?”

The elf queen knew that even if the Goddess of Night’s situation was in bad shape, there was still a certain level of preparation necessary to face it. Louie’s request was quite reasonable.

“Half a month should be enough. I wonder what you think about it?”

Louie calculated the amount of time he needed and gave a clear answer.

“Half a month? Very well. Since that is the case, then I might bother you to allow me to stay here for half a month.”

The elf queen pondered and nodded her head.

She carefully thought about it. Although traveling back and forth from Dragon City to the Silver Moon Kingdom only required a short amount of time for a demigod like her, she was curious about Dragon City and Louie. Thus, she chose to stay in it for half a month. She wanted to see the city’s developments and possibly uncover some of Louie’s secrets.

For example, where did Louie procure his supplies from? What was Louie’s relationship with the Five-colored Dragon God? These were the things that she truly wanted to know.

“You’re willing to stay in this city? I couldn’t ask for more. I think that this event will also be recorded in the history books. I have a palace-cathedral here. Although it’s not as good as your palace in the Silver Moon Kingdom, I think I can at least meet your needs.”

Louie’s words carried a slight pride. When he previously returned to Earth, he had procured a large number of supplies for the development of Dragon City. At the same time, he had also procured goods for his own enjoyment. Louie had been fed up with the scarcity of supplies in San Soliel. The food and drinks in this world simply could not compare to Earth at all.

Because of the backward culture of San Soliel, even if he was in a high position, there were things that he could not obtain.

“You are very polite. Although we elves are fond of pleasure, we aren’t like humans. I do not require much in terms of housing. As long as it is as natural and beautiful as your garden, it is enough.”

The elf queen pursed her lips and smiled. Although she looked like an immortal fairy, she was unlike one at all. She was an elf, and elves also had material needs. That’s why she didn't say that she needed anything and only a rough meal was enough. Louie gladly accepted her arrangements.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll leave this garden fully in your hands while you live here.”

Although Louie liked the beautiful garden, he only used it when having tea and dinner. Compared to the elves’ who lived with nature, Louie preferred his own mountain of gold and silver.

He clapped his hands to call the elven maids. The young maidens walked in gracefully and kneeled down in front of him. He looked at the light muslin they were wearing that revealed their wonderful body. His eyes flashed with regret but still gave his orders, “Take care of her Majesty during her stay here. You have served her before in the past, so I don’t need to tell you how to take care of her.”

“There is no need to be polite, Lord Louie. Since I gave these maids to you, they are your ladies-in-waiting.”

“You should not shirk from comfort. I noticed that you came to my city without any maids. Having these elves who are familiar with you look after you should give you a sense of familiarity.”

The elf queen listened and paused for a moment before saying, “Since you have said so, then I would be honored. However, I have one more request.”

“Please tell.”

“I am very curious about your city. Can you give me a tour?”

“Of course. For today, please take a rest in the palace. Tomorrow, I will personally accompany you and introduce you to every detail of the city.”

Louie smiled lightly. He nodded and agreed to the queen’s request.

It seemed that his methods of managing the city, which was different from other lords, had finally aroused the curiosity of a powerhouse of the world.
