Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire

"Your Highness Noah, a pioneering group on the border has found the coast and is now mapping the coast."

When Noah regained consciousness again and ended the divine descent that could experience the perspective of the gods, he received a message from the eastern border.

The territory he now rules is basically from the former Augustus family, and this family was once a border noble of a certain United Kingdom that has become history.

In order to consolidate his power in the capital, Urnos, the biggest prodigal son in the history of the Augustus family, directly threw the family's basic base to Noah, forcing and forcibly migrating the family.

After Noah took over this vast land, his territory now also had a border and a direction to expand outward.

Although Noah's development strategy is mainly to operate the existing territory, the pace of external exploration has not stopped.

Not only did Noah arrange people to explore the wilderness outside of civilization, even among the people, there were also many fearless businessmen who tried to find the barbaric tribes in the wilderness and wanted to get rich overnight.

Some rare resources that are highly sought after in the civilized world are not beneficial to survival, which means that even if the barbaric tribes far away from civilization have these resources, they will not cherish them.

This is the source of motivation for merchants to explore the unknown wilderness, so Noah also issued a reward to find the eastern coastline.

Of course, when issuing the reward, Noah did not have any expectations. How could the eastern coast be so easy to find? The vast wilderness that needs to be crossed is unknown, and there are countless giant beasts wandering and monster clans entrenched in it.

This news is really a surprise for Noah, because the pioneering group formed by his family has only explored 500 kilometers beyond the border, and the coastline is even more far away.

"Okay, okay, which merchant group's pioneering team is this? Contact them, I want to know the path map of their arrival at the coastline."

Noah, who has been promoted to a legend, can of course also go to find the coastline. This is not a difficult task for him. He just needs to fly over, and it won't even take a day.

But what is the meaning of this for the development of his territory? The unimpeded sky route of the legendary golden dragon is meaningless to most merchant groups. As for the ground road, it is even more difficult and rugged. In theory, it is still impassable.

However, now that a pioneering team has found the coastline, it means that there is a passable road from his territory. Perhaps this road is still full of dangers and uncertainties, but since there is one, then two and three are easy.

A trade route connecting the ocean is a golden river flowing with gold. There is no need to say much about the huge profits of marine trade. Just look at the city-states in the south.

Even though the south has suffered from the disaster of the abyss, and there are demon legions rampant on that land, half a century after the collapse of the abyss gate, the traces of demons have long disappeared. This is both the power of civilization and the power of wealth.

"Reporting to Your Highness, this pioneering team belongs to the Silver Cross Chamber of Commerce."

Lutesia, who has replaced Sifrea and become Noah's attendant, reported.

After completing the internal cleansing and rectification of the fairies, Sifrea stepped forward and appeared in the public eye to fill the vacancy left by Elfino's beheading.

Now the governor of the Valley of Fire is the appointed fairy queen. It is only a matter of time before she breaks through and becomes a legend.

The most interesting thing is that this appointment was issued by the Holy Dragon Noah, not by the king of the Kingdom of Atlas.

This is a veritable usurpation. In any monarchy, it is an unforgivable act and a crime of trampling on the royal power.

However, neither the trampler nor the trampled cares about it. Even ordinary people take it for granted and no one thinks there is anything wrong.

Even though the Valley of Fire and the surrounding 300 miles of land were directly governed by the royal family before, now the ownership of this land has changed with only a round of replacement of the governor in his office.

In other monarchies, things that are enough to stir up huge waves did not even stir up a ripple in the Kingdom of Atlas. Not to mention the subjects under Noah, even the ministers of Urnos are used to it.

Even if they heard the news, they pretended not to see it, and there was no such thing as writing a letter to criticize it. Everyone knows that the Holy Dragon and the Augustus family are in the same boat, and the change of territorial sovereignty is just a transfer from the left hand to the right hand.

Therefore, this appointment did not stir up any waves. The only one who was hurt was the leader of the Wanfa Dragon Guard who had lost his name.

Once upon a time, she thought she was irreplaceable and her position was unshakable, but Sifrea's sword shattered all her pride. Now that the other party has replaced her as the governor of the Valley of Fire, everything is fine, which makes her even more depressed.

It seems that it is the same with or without her. The other party can not only assume all her responsibilities, but also do better than her. This is the most depressing thing.

"Silver Cross Chamber of Commerce?"

When Noah heard the name of the Chamber of Commerce, he immediately sensed something was wrong.

"What is the background of this Chamber of Commerce?"

The threshold to become a small businessman who can make money is not high. As long as you are smart enough and have a sharp vision, ordinary people can do it. However, if you want to set up a chamber of commerce, the so-called vision, skills, and awareness are not necessary conditions. The key is background.

Without sufficient background, the entry tax to various places can kill the dream of many small businessmen to become rich.

"The Silver Cross Merchant Group is backed by the Dawn Church."

"Dawn Church? It's a bit troublesome."

Noah nodded. All the chambers of commerce that can go to various parts of the continent to trade are either relying on the church or backed by a great noble.

Compared with the nobles, the church is obviously much more difficult to deal with, but it is normal for a merchant group that can find the eastern coastline to have a great church background.

However, the trouble that Noah expected did not appear. When the goblins sent by Noah went to negotiate with the Silver Cross Merchant Group, while offering the other party a bounty, they also proposed to share the route explored by the other party.

A route that can continuously flow and bring massive wealth, the Silver Cross Merchant Group with the background of a great church did not choose to confront the Holy Dragon, but chose to share.

The starting point of this route is in the Holy Dragon territory, and the other end is a barren coastline with no human shadow. If you want to turn this route into a river of gold, then the Holy Dragon who controls the starting point must join.

When Noah knew that the Silver Cross Chamber of Commerce was very happy to hand over the route, he heard the reason, which sounded very reasonable.

But the Golden Dragon always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Therefore, after Noah saw the route map that was easily obtained and announced it, he also issued a declaration, hoping that many powerful chambers of commerce could actively join in, based on this route, to open up more safe trade routes to the ocean.

Noah's generosity and generosity were no different from performing a legendary forbidden technique in the city of Elishim, where business was already extremely prosperous, which caused an uproar and ignited the fire of desire in the hearts of many people.

Since then, the era of ocean trade in the Holy Dragon Territory has begun. Along the route opened by the Silver Cross Merchant Group, many ambitious chambers of commerce have also formed teams, hoping to explore shorter, safer and more convenient routes.

Of course, there are also chambers of commerce that do not hope to gain wealth from the ocean, but to find undiscovered treasures on this route.

In just less than five years, more and safer routes have been explored, and some small and medium-sized merchants dare to take a dozen scaly-horned horses into the wilderness to find wild tribes for trade.

"It really surprised me. I thought it would take at least two or three hundred years for my territory to be exposed to ocean trade. I didn't expect that someone would find a safe route so early."

When the specialty resources from the ocean were brought to Elishim, even the holy dragon in the mountains was quite surprised. He looked at the red coral jade in front of him and looked at the dragon fairy, Lutia, beside him.

"What do you think of this matter?"

"Too many accidents and coincidences."

The three giant fairy giants, no, the three giants have disappeared, and the only dragon fairy who can compete with Xifuleya answered in a low voice.

According to her understanding, it is not surprising that a qualified trade route that can bring stable profits takes two or three generations from the initial discovery and exploration to stability.

Now this trade route that has been explored several times has shortened its distance to 1,600 kilometers. It took less than five years to explore it.

Can this be called exploration?

Either there is a prophet or a fortune teller who is always accurate in his predictions, or there is some existence who provides guidance.

The roads taken by those so-called pioneering teams have long been marked. They just walk along the established route and there is no risk.

"Yes, there are too many coincidences, so many that they can no longer be called coincidences."

Noah also knows how outrageous it is that this ocean trade route that starts from his territory and goes straight to the ocean has appeared in just five years. Even if he leads the team himself, he may not be able to figure it out, but it just appears.

Are the luck values ​​of those explorers maxed out? Is this a joke?

Some guys really don't even pretend, and they don't even bother to act any more.

However, although the traces of being arranged are so obvious. But Noah still can't see what the significance of this move is. A trade route connecting the ocean brings real wealth, and Noah can't refuse it.

"Your Highness, should we do something?"

"What can we do?"

Noah sneered. Although he noticed the obvious abnormality, he really had no countermeasures, nor was it necessary. Closing the trade route was equivalent to cutting off the golden river. Not to mention that the merchants could not stand it, Noah himself could not stand it.

"Let's wait and see!"

When Noah was 126 years old, the trade route that continuously brought a lot of wealth to the Holy Dragon Treasury had unusual changes.

"Your Highness Noah, a fleet of survivors from a shipwreck was found in the Voyager Harbor.

According to the investigation of the Dragon Fairies stationed in the harbor, these refugees do not belong to our Zealandia continent, but come from the other side of the Alvis continent."

"Refugees from the Alvis continent, what's special about them?"

Noah spoke in a steady and calm tone.

He is now one of the top extraordinary beings in the Zealandia continent, and the forces under his command, even if they are separated from the Kingdom of Atlas, are well-deserved overlords. He is confident to face and meet various challenges.

"According to the inspection, these refugees are all believers of the Lord of Dawn, and it is a group of holy warriors who protect and lead these refugees across the ocean."

"The believers of the Lord of Dawn?"

Noah couldn't help but spit out a flame and sneered,

"After such a big detour, this is it?"

"The holy warriors on the ship asked us to take in these refugees."

"How many refugees are there?"

"Less than 20,000."

"Less than 20,000? Then order the port city to settle them on the spot."

Noah said without hesitation.

Merchants are willing to set foot in the wilderness in pursuit of profits, but ordinary civilians, even some small nobles, are unwilling to leave their homes and go to the wilderness, which is really a death sentence.

The word "opening up" is easy to say, but it was built up bit by bit with human lives, so the trade route he got was just a trade route.

Only at the end, the Chamber of Commerce established several gathering points, but the population was sparse, and Noah only symbolically sent two fairies to garrison and declare the dominant position.

Now a fleet was sent from the other side of the ocean, and Noah naturally accepted it without hesitation. Although they had faith, Noah didn't mind at all, and he didn't live on faith.

However, Noah's order was only passed to the voyager port on the eastern coastline, and the dragon fairies stationed in the port discovered that a series of black spots appeared on the sea surface.

The second refugee fleet arrived. Unsurprisingly, they were also believers of the Lord of Dawn. It was said that they were persecuted by the kingdom that believed in a tyrannical monarch and had to flee.

"How did you find this place?"

Once can be said to be a coincidence, but twice is still a coincidence, that is clearly nonsense.

"This is the divine revelation given by the Lord of Light!"

The old man, who was only wrapped in rags but had a peaceful look on his face, answered the fairy creature with alien features in front of him.

"What else does your divine revelation tell you?"

The dragon fairy looked at the group of refugees in front of him who were pale and thin, but did not make any noise and could obey orders, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.

"The Lord told us that this is a place covered by light, and we will get everything we want here."
