Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 620 - 009 Special Topics
These days, the Ministry of Education has sent people down to inspect and investigate the current status of primary and secondary schools, submitting information to the higher-ups. While conducting a general survey, they also need to inspect and reorganize schools in the city.
This has become a routine in the Blue Dragon Kingdom, with one or two such in-depth investigations and inspections every year.
After all, it concerns the future of the Blue Dragon Kingdom, and no amount of attention can be deemed excessive.
Amidst the busy work, Smith has hardly had any time to stay at home these days.
However, since Smith started working as a primary school teacher, although he doesn't come home as often as before, Old Siran is quite relieved.
Compared to when he was in Lunbabi back then, Smith now clearly has more drive.
Young people indeed do have more energy to spare.
After breakfast, the servants removed the leftover food from the dining table as everyone busied themselves. Old Siran also sat on the leather sofa, picked up a stack of newspapers that the servant had already folded, and began to read carefully.
"The Greatest Monarch in the World—The Rise of His Highness Blue Dragon Austin..."
The headline on the front page of the People's Daily read these words.
No matter whether it's the official daily or a privately-run daily, all newspaper front pages must feature articles praising the great His Highness Blue Dragon Austin. Otherwise, the News and Publication Department won't grant distribution licenses, and any unlicensed private newspaper flyers are severely cracked down upon.
This front page of the People's Daily features a special series about Austin's difficult rise and struggle in the barren Kawa Great Forest.
This series mainly narrates how Austin fought hard in the Kawa Great Forest, later subdued the Kobolds, developed the Clan, and gradually progressed to today's level.
It has been twenty years since Austin subdued that initial batch of seven and a half Kobolds.
Back then, that small group of Kobold refugees was in dire straits, likely to disappear silently in the perilous Kawa Great Forest. It was the great Austin who saved them, endowed them with strength and courage, and under his great leadership, step-by-step built this enormous Blue Dragon Kingdom.
The earliest Orcs that followed Austin have not aged as a result.
Due to the extraordinary radiation of the Dragon Race, the law power within a giant dragon of Legendary Level affects surrounding life forms, automatically transforming ordinary creatures into extraordinary beings.
As the group of early Dragon Nest Beastmen who stayed the longest with Austin, they generally benefited from Austin's rise, growing into extraordinary Beastmen with a trace of dragon vein aura.
In the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed. Except for those extraordinary Dragon Vein Beastmen who perished in various battles, most of the early Dragon Nest Beastmen are far from reaching their life expectancy limit.
It is precisely for this reason that in these retrospectives, those who experienced the events can accurately describe the journey of following the great His Highness Blue Dragon Austin.
Although they are official promotional articles, both the general populace and Old Siran are very interested in these series on the front page.
Anyway, Old Siran, whenever he opens the People's Daily every day, thoroughly reads the front-page articles.
It is said that in his youth, the great Blue Dragon Austin struggled in the harsh Kawa Great Forest, initially gathering under his command merely a handful of destitute Kobolds. Who would have thought that such a small force could eventually develop to this extent?
Probably, among the Orcs initially following Austin, even the most audacious Orcs would never have anticipated the scene of today. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
And it is indeed true that now retired and resting, the chief Vini of the first batch of seven and a half Kobold tribes occasionally sighs endlessly when reminiscing with old friends about the days of ice fishing on the lake in winter, training in the snow, and hunting the Ghost-headed Crocodile in the lake.
Especially in recent years, with significant advancements in magic science, some luxury items like the Magic Phone, Magic Radio, and even the Magic TV have gradually emerged. The ever-changing pace of societal life refreshes Vini's understanding of the world almost every day.
Back then, they only struggled to fill their stomachs.
Who could have imagined that the decisions made by the great His Highness Austin would eventually change things bit by bit, leading the Dragon Nest Tribe to continually rise and ultimately achieve today's accomplishments?
Thus, Kobold Vini believes that becoming the Clan under the great His Highness Austin back then was the most correct decision of his life.
Back then, confused and unaware of the future, they wandered aimlessly through the forest, eventually meeting the great His Highness Blue Dragon Austin.
All of this was destined by fate.
After learning about the great achievements of the monarch who founded this great kingdom from the newspapers, Old Siran felt immensely moved and full of admiration in his heart.
Starting with just a few Kobolds in the primitive Kawa Great Forest, a place teeming with monsters, they ultimately established a kingdom dominating the south.
If the positions were reversed, Old Siran believes he could not have done it.
Moreover, based on his knowledge, no other person, student, noble, or even any King he has ever encountered would have such capabilities.
It is precisely for this reason that the subjects living on the outskirts of the Kawa Great Forest, whether human or Beastman, sincerely regard Austin as the greatest monarch of this era!
While immersed in the front-page news featuring the rise of Austin, Old Siran was unaware that,
the special article he could read in half an hour was the result of countless people's hard work and many meetings to finalize the theme.
The effect was also very good.
Even someone like Old Siran, once a teacher at a noble academy and an elite in human society, was subtly influenced into genuinely recognizing and affirming the great His Highness Austin and the Blue Dragon Kingdom, thanks in part to these newspaper articles.
Public opinion is led by the officials, and the hearts and minds of the people can be used!
About half an hour later, Old Siran finally finished reading the front-page news feature of the People's Daily. Seeing the portrayal of the great Austin in it, Old Siran couldn't help but marvel again, that a member of the Dragon Race could achieve such great accomplishments is not without reason.
