I'm a dragon, I only want to steal princesses

Chapter 50 Inspection work
Two days later, Gannon, accompanied by Stone, began to inspect the work progress of the sixth-level temple.

"Greetings to you, master."

"Hello, master."

As soon as the elves working on the scene saw Ganon, they all stood up and saluted, looking a little cautious.

Ganon raised his hand, motioning for them to continue working.

There are eight elves working on this floor. In addition, there are four stone clone golems working together and assigning tasks to everyone.

"According to this progress, the top will be capped in a week. Then there will be interior decoration work, which is expected to be completed in five months." Shito explained to Gannon.

"It's faster than I thought." Ganon nodded in satisfaction.

After bringing the elves liberated from Elmera back to the territory, Ganon made each of them sign a modified [Prisoner's Contract].

In addition to providing the labor force, the magic power extracted from them by the Endless Tower can also increase the operating power of the [Steward], making the number of golem bodies that the stone can control reach nine.

"These elves are still very enthusiastic about restoring the temple. They are all followers of Druidism, and one of them is a sculptor who can assist in the restoration of mural reliefs." Stone said, leading Gannon to a wall.

Here, a gaunt male elf is working with a golem to paint on a wall, sketching for later reliefs.

When he noticed Ganon, the male elf turned around and saluted him: "Master."

He seemed calmer and calmer than the others. Ganon had heard from Cohen that this elf seemed to be a well-known sculptor in Mu Xia.

It was precisely because of his skill that Elmera took him away without any special torture, so he was not as afraid of the dragon as the others.

"Don't worry about me, just get on with it." Ganon nodded to him.

The sculptor nodded, but did not return to work right away. Instead, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Excuse me for asking boldly. The master asked us to restore this temple. Could it be that you are also a believer in the Goddess of Life?"

"Whatever you think." Ganon didn't directly deny it.

He can make these elves work more diligently, and he doesn't mind the other party identifying himself as a believer like them.

The sculptor nodded thoughtfully: "I have lived for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen a dragon willing to respect life. May the goddess of life bless you."

After speaking, he turned around and continued to work.

Gannon looked at it for a while and then walked away. When there were no other elves around, Shishi approached him and said, "Master, what do you plan to do with them when the repair work on the sixth floor is over?"

"Your work is progressing so fast, why don't you build the upper floors as well," Gannon said.

"Forgive me for presumptuous remarks. It may not be appropriate to continue to allow these elves to participate in the restoration of the upper layer." Stone said.

"Why?" Ganon glanced at the stone.

"One floor up, the seventh floor is the Temple of the God of Destruction, the patron saint of the assassin profession, the 'Mother of Nothingness' believed by the dark elves, and her real body is the God of Destruction." Stone explained in a low voice.

"Oh?" Ganon recalled his memory.

There is also a classic setting in this world where elves and dark elves are deadly rivals. As a red dragon, Helganon doesn't know the historical origins of these two races, but it is common knowledge that these two races have feuds.

"In fact, elves also train assassins, they allow the belief in the 'Goddess of the Night'--that is actually a subordinate god of the God of Destruction, but they absolutely do not allow the belief in the 'Mother of the Void'.

I want to continue to let them repair the work on the upper level, they may have resistance and affect the progress of the work.And if you plan to release them in the future, it's best not to let unfavorable rumors spread in Twilight. "Stone explained.

"There is always a feeling of self-deception." Gannon commented, "Let's stop at this level for now."

But he can probably understand that the so-called belief and religion are themselves political tools.

Due to political reasons, it is forbidden to believe in a certain main god, but to believe in one of the incarnations of the god or its subordinate gods, or to whitewash the god of belief into other appearances, so it should not be uncommon in this world to separate various sects.

"When this layer is repaired, the temple should be up and running, right?" Ganon asked.

He imagined that after the restoration of the temple, the conditions for the remote transfer should be met. Cohen and his two partners are both mid-level druids, and there are two entry-level druids among their elves.

"I'm afraid not, my lord. It's a pity that none of the elves here can meet the requirements. If you want to be inspired by the seal of God, you must be at least above the level of a master. This is the minimum requirement for a priest." Stone replied.

"It's so troublesome..." Gannon muttered.

From Zhenna, he had a little understanding of the division of realms of various professions.

The master realm is actually basically the ceiling that most people with god-given professions can touch in their lifetime.

For Zhenna to reach this level at this age, apart from her pretty good talent and her own hard work, the most important thing is the resources she has received as a princess.

It is not easy to get a druid above a master to serve as a temple priest.

"How's Elmera's body going?" Ganon asked.

"It has been preserved in the 'Burial Ground'." Stone replied respectfully.

Before setting off to deal with Elmera, Stone advised Ganon that after killing the green dragon, he could bring back the green dragon's body, because the dragon's body is an extremely precious material.

"The corpse will come in handy after the eighth floor of the God of Death's Temple can be activated, and the 'Boneyard' near the Infinity Tower can preserve the corpse." Stone said.

Ganon didn't know until then that the small piece of barren land near the rocks near the Infinity Tower had been soaked by the power of the God of Death. It was originally set aside by the believers of the Temple of the God of Death to hold rituals and preserve corpses for performing spells. The corpses buried there would not decompose.

No wonder Helganon used to feel uncomfortable near it.

"There should still be a lot of corpses left in the past. Although some have been deliberately corrupted to a certain extent by necromancy in order to extract corpse poison, there are also relatively intact ones, which can be used as food reserves when necessary." Stone also raised his mouth like this, and Ganon wanted to shake his head.

He doesn't have the scavenging habits of the black dragon.

He walked to an open window and looked down.

From here, you can see the pasture he is building. At this time, the elves and golems arranged below are building fences. In the distance, Cohen and his companions are bringing back the grazing horses.

"I'm going to inspect the pasture." Gannon said, jumping out of the window, spreading his wings and flying towards the pasture.
