The Ministry of Finance proposes that after the formal establishment of the kingdom, it will be necessary to mint and issue our own currency. To ensure smooth circulation with the currency systems of other continental nations, the currency's value will be pegged to the universally accepted continental currency,"
As Lady Charlize, the chief maid, spoke, she took out several sample gold coins from a nearby document bag and laid them out one by one on her long, shapely thigh.
"These are the currency samples designed by the Ministry of Finance. They have provided a total of six different samples of gold coins,"
Kalon tilted his head slightly, looking at the gold coins engraved with different patterns. He did not make his choice but instead said, "There's no need to rush this for now. We can decide after the kingdom's name is finalized."
The obedient chief maid quickly collected the sample gold coins, re-sealed them, and added annotations. She then found the proposals regarding the kingdom's name from a thick stack of documents and softly read out the various suggestions from the many ministers.
"After the initial screening, only a few candidates remain: the Nation of True Dragon, the DragonsKingdom, the Nation of Gold, and the Golden People's Republic…"
"The first few proposals specifically highlight the status and emblem of True Dragon ruling the kingdom, while the latter ones are mostly named after the region. However, the proposer of the Golden People's Republic specifically stated that a wise and world-ruling master like our owner does not need to narrowly express the nation's characteristic of True Dragon rule,"
"The kingdom's name he proposed also comes with an explanation, inspired by the beautiful vision you, Master, put forth: 'May this world shine like gold, may civilization be passed down like a torch,'"
"To forge a civilization shining like gold, to unite all ruled people into Golden People, a civilization where all races coexist in harmony, with True Dragon as King!"
Charlize paused here, pressing her cherry-red lips together, and quietly looked up to observe the Red Dragon monarch's reaction. She felt that this proposal might align well with her master's thoughts.
But the Red Dragon did not give a definitive answer. Instead, he instructed his chief maid, "Copy these proposals several times and send them to each Dragon Lord for their decision!"
Lady Charlize, the chief maid, quickly ordered an elf maid to take the document for copying.
The fair-skinned, beautiful elf maid with long green hair took the document and, with light steps, went to the living quarters of the maids on the first floor, next to the main Fortress and near the back garden. There was a whole complex of buildings there, including a study for the maids.
As the elf maid passed the path in the back garden, she saw a tall figure standing with extraordinary focus in front of the World Tree Ovo, which had already grown to over six meters tall.
That person, with a pair of True Dragon horns pointing skyward and scales as crimson as transparent blood, was none other than her master, the monarch of Fortress.
The elf maid quietly slowed her steps, took off her shoes and held them in her hand, then tiptoed like a sneaking ghost into the study with bare feet.
The increasingly lush branches and leaves of the World Tree Ovo now appeared verdant. Even though it was on a mountaintop where strong winds often swirled, its branches and leaves did not sway with the wind.
Two plump Titanoboa quietly hid among the World Tree's dense green leaves, their two pairs of round, dark, shiny eyes watching Kalon, who was quietly communicating with the World Tree Ovo's consciousness. These two Titanoboa even subtly slowed their breathing.
Although each avatar and Kalon himself shared the same primary consciousness, Kalon was now very accustomed to multi-threaded connection operations.
Moreover, this also served to temper his already strong mind, making him more resilient, quicker in reaction, and slightly enhancing the strength and total amount of his mental power.
"Daddy, I'm full," the World Tree Ovo's consciousness fed a message back to Kalon at this moment. Its unmoving branches and leaves began to sway gently, like a child's joyful dance.
"Very good, then it's study time," Kalon curled his lips, retracted his True Dragon claws that had been resting on the vibrant tree trunk, and smiled slightly.
The swaying branches and leaves of the World Tree Ovo instantly drooped, returning to their wind-unmoving state.
"Daddy, what's the use of learning all this knowledge? I can vaguely sense that big guy. It's very, very far from me, so far, so far, anyway, it's just very far."
The World Tree Ovo's consciousness couldn't find a suitable adjective and could only express itself with simple words, "But that big guy is just too easy for me to find. I can always sense it very easily. Daddy, am I very useful? Much more useful than Haninek and Grenek!"
"Yes, you're not like those two, who just eat and sleep all day, sleep and eat," Kalon gently patted the World Tree's thick trunk, promptly giving the World Tree baby timely praise.
The two cowering Titanoboa looked indignant but dared not interrupt Kalon's communication with the World Tree. They scurried back and forth agitatedly among the World Tree's branches.
"Hehe," the World Tree's consciousness, pleased with the praise, happily swayed its branches, shaking off the two Titanoboa, and then said, "But, Daddy, that big guy seems to be tied up. It can't actively talk to me, nor can it connect with me,"
"If I want to actively connect with it and achieve communication, I need to continue growing," the World Tree Ovo's consciousness suddenly sank, but its voice still echoed in Kalon's mind.
"One meter, two meters, three meters… I'm over six meters now. I probably only need to grow to about one hundred meters, and then I can help Daddy connect with that big guy,"
The World Tree Ovo's consciousness became active again, communicating with Kalon.
"So, you have to learn knowledge so you can connect with that big guy as soon as possible. How much time will it take to grow to one hundred meters before you can help me?"
Kalon patiently guided the World Tree Ovo. For these childlike beings, one cannot force them; one must learn to guide them, otherwise, it is difficult to achieve the desired effect.
"Okay, for Daddy," the World Tree Ovo's consciousness began to calm down, receiving the knowledge transmitted from Kalon, which had been passed down from the Ancient Magic Empire.
While transmitting knowledge, Kalon also had to popularize some common sense to the World Tree, which didn't understand much, and explain some difficult points of knowledge, so that the World Tree could digest this knowledge as quickly as possible.
It wasn't until the golden bell hanging in the True Dragon Sanctuary on the mountaintop was struck by the heroic spirits guarding the sanctuary, signifying that another hour had passed.
The World Tree Ovo quickly shouted, "I'm full! No, I'm tired, Daddy, it's time to rest."
Kalon then stopped, allowing the World Tree Ovo to relax its consciousness, lest too much knowledge be infused at once, making it difficult to digest, like water over a duck's back or words in one ear and out the other.
