Chapter 490 - Traveling the Continent With My Daughter
Dilapidated, backward, and dirty was the best way to describe almost every city in the world of San Soliel. A city as clean and tidy as Louie’s Dragon City was the true exception of exceptions.
Stepping into the ancient country located in the northeast corner of the main continent, Louie experienced the true reality of the world.
The cold north wind whistled through the trees. Although it was not as cold as the northernmost regions of the continent, it was still extremely harsh on the regular humans who lived here.
The roads of the city Louie entered were filled with thickly clothed civilians. Beggars nestled in the corners and thieves kept a keen eye out for potential prey. Poverty and hardship forced them all into this situation.
The city’s guards lazily chased these people away, scolded them, or pushed them out of the way to allow a luxurious carriage to pass through the middle of the narrow road. Then, they licked their lips and leaned to look at the beautiful woman driving the carriage. Their lascivious expressions, however, only brought her disgust.
The driver of the carriage stood at over 1.8 meters. This was quite tall for women on Earth and significantly large for the denizens of San Soliel. She sported a bodacious frame and wore leather armor over finely sewn undergarments. Her expression had the imposing and arrogant mien of a queen.
But now this queen was a carriage driver, driving a draconic horse as it sped through the land of Dragons.RêAd lateSt chapters at novel35.com Only
“Father God, don’t we have to go directly to the palace? Why are we wandering around the city.”
A childish and youthful female voice came from inside the carriage.
This was Alexia, who was wearing a gorgeous princess dress. Her white silver hair had a precious metal tiara with a few strands of her hair covering her lovely, clear face. She was currently cuddled up in Louie’s arms.
“When the Capital of Wealth is also annexed, change the state policy to a defensive state, where the goal is to protect the south of the continent. We do not need to build a huge country like the past Subila Empire. In this era, having a huge country is simply a loss. Having a large territory would make it hard to maintain the economy. The thing we need to do is to let the subjects live good life to strengthen their faith. Do you understand?”
For true gods like Louie, there was no point in fighting for supremacy on the main continent, only faith truly mattered. The easiest way to grow people’s faith was to let the people live good life. In contrast with other countries, the citizens of Dragon Kingdom would fervently chant Louie’s name and thank what they have. The second way was to let people fall into a completely desperate situation. In desperate situations, devotional faith would be born from within people. In fact, the gods nowadays were using this method to keep civilization from developing too quickly.
Poverty and ignorance give rise to more fervent faith.
But compared to the second method, Louie still chose the first method, because the second method carried too much risk.
“Your Highness Louie, is it true that the lich who scammed me of my body is in the northern lands?”
Just as Louie and Alexia were being intimate in the carriage, the driving ‘Queen of Calamity’ Noella interrupted them without looking at them.

Although Noella was educated by Louie to become his believer, dragons were a proud race due to their personal power, so their overall faith was definitely not as devout as other races. It wasn’t that there weren’t any fanatics among the dragons, but the probability of one appearing was very small.
But because dragons were powerful, a single dragon’s faith was equivalent to a thousand human’s faith. In this way, the former Dragon God was able to reach high-tier divine power by virtue of his divine authority.
“The revelation of the gods told me that the lich that deceived you a thousand years ago is in the northern lands. Do not worry, Noella, I have seen your allegiance with my eyes. Since I have made a promise to take back your body, I will not go back on my word.”
Louie’s calm words calmed down Noella’s agitated heart. The queen who brought disaster a thousand years ago viciously said, “I will make that damn lich pay! When I take back my flesh, I will be able to become a demigod once more!”
