The bonfire on the wall is burning vigorously. Under the reflection of the fire, the projection of the black dragon on the wall behind is like undulating mountains.
However, the interior is not hot at all. After moving to the Rhine court, Caesar''s usual pleasure spirit has never changed, so there are huge hard to melt ice around, and he has been blessed by magic. He always outputs coolness and dispels the heat that has always enveloped the head of the north.
Opposite is a series of steep stone steps with a large number of ladders, with a vertical height of about 20 meters. Although this is nothing for Caesar, it is quite steep according to the human concept. If they want to see the throne of the black emperor, they must look up 90 degrees from their neck.
This is the masterpiece of the caster team.
At ordinary times, Caesar would occupy the huge throne at the top, issue orders and summon people. He didn''t feel it when he was the leader of the black wing nest. However, since he ruled the northern countries, Caesar gradually liked it here - nothing is easier to enjoy the fragrance of power than ruling mankind.
The Rhine court is located at the highest part of the royal capital. Under the action of magic, it keeps rising, showing the prominent position of the power center of the whole northern countries.
When Caesar stepped out of the king''s court, he could see the capital extending in front of his vision, and at the end was the continuous mountains, which almost penetrated the moster Canyon in the north, separating the northern countries from mangye, the old site of black wing and the uninhabited land farther away on the north and south sides.
At his feet, there is an elegant and quiet garden, and behind him is a sea of flowers.
It''s hard to imagine that this is the environment around a dragon''s nest, but it is true and more beautiful than people think.
"This is queen Luna''s garden," the leaders of the black wing clan called it privately.
When the weather is fine, the black dragon will drill into the sea of flowers to bask in the sun with Luna, restrain Longwei and allow the unwise bees and butterflies to wander around him. Occasionally, he will lie directly inside to sleep and snore again and again.
Although the north is a remote place, as the supreme ruler, Caesar enjoyed everything he could enjoy except his personal waitress, and his contact with human beings also aroused a lot of memories of his previous life. In his previous life, he certainly couldn''t get these things in his dream.
The northern countries belong to the corner of ayladia. The pattern is too small to be compared with the countries like the central city states and the Empire. This place is very weak, both human and other creatures, and all kinds of resources are scarce.
But precisely because of this, Caesar was able to control the whole northern countries so easily.
You should know that even if you have been promoted to legend, it is impossible for a dragon to rule so many people in the developed areas of ayladia. Legends can be found everywhere in the core area of ayladia. The slaughter of the red dragon aksuye, named "Queen" some time ago, is enough to prove its danger.
——Of course, there is a fact that can not be ignored. That guy aksuye is not a lord dragon, but a lone dragon. He wanders around on weekdays and has very few family members. His laziness and arrogance have already laid the groundwork for her demise.
The north is very good, at least for Caesar now. Such a region that does not border with the outside world and has no foreign interference is exactly the best place for the black wing Empire to set sail.
Recently, the details of domestic revenue and expenditure submitted by the rulers of Faye, daros and Nolen have successively arrived at the Rhine court, which was sorted out by Hogg and finally reported to Caesar.
In fact, the Jackal''s IQ is not high. Even if he is gifted, Hogg is still at a medium level among humans. After ruling the northern countries, the black emperor has many candidates who are good at politics and planning to replace Hogg.
However, the Jackal leader has been with him for more than ten years. There is no doubt about his loyalty and has never disappointed Caesar once. Therefore, he has a lot of feelings for this guy, so he continues to let the Jackal leader stay with him. Instead, those candidates were arranged under Hogg to help the jackal leader deal with the sundries.
Back to the point.
The income and expenditure of the northern countries are very simple. The output and export are slaves, wood and animal fur from more to less. The bulk imports are all kinds of metals, weapons and equipment and grain.
All import and export methods were completed by large caravans controlled by the nobles. They traveled around the countries until they reached the central city-state, sold everything all the way, and returned after purchasing the items designated by the nobles.
Caesar frowned. The biggest output of the northern countries was population trade.
As a dragon ruler, the black dragon itself is not very opposed to this evil activity, but the key to the problem is that the slaves sold by the northern countries are not wild people and aborigines captured from abroad, but the population within their own country.
It''s retarded.
Even the stupid and greedy dog headed people would not do such a stupid thing. These upper class nobles can really get everything out in order to make money.
When it comes to timber, Caesar finally knows why the Cylon Gobi has become a Gobi. Angela, the disaster dragon, once mentioned that in her dragon inheritance, Cylon was originally a fertile rainforest like a green field, and the orc fortress lived alone. Now, the place has turned into a desolate mud beach.
This is not a change for no reason. Of course, Caesar is not interested in becoming an environmental ambassador, and then look down.
Fur trade.
Northerners and adventurers crossed moster northward, entered the wild and green fields, hunted a large number of birds and animals, and then sold them to the noble buyers in the capital at a low price. The nobles sold some of them themselves and then output them.
This is probably the only healthy industry.
Caesar thought, since the black wing came, people can no longer be sold, at least not now. At present, the black wing nest needs a large number of slaves to serve it.
As for the other two items, they can still be maintained, but the control should be transferred to the black wing nest and dumped by the king''s court.
This alone is not enough. If you don''t want the black wing Empire to plan for dystocia in advance and don''t want to pay for subsidies, Caesar has to think of other ways to pry money.
Elegy card can only be regarded as a sideline at most. You can''t place your hope on the card until you get market feedback.
What should I do?
……
Jon Arthur had already taken the time to leave kohall and go to the north, but he turned back halfway and returned to the central free trade city-state.
It''s not that there''s something wrong with himself, but along the road to Beidi. As the distance gets closer and closer, he hears more and more news on the way. Almost everyone says that the black emperor has become a legend, and he is far from being as powerful as an ordinary black dragon.
Is there a legend in Beidi?
Jon Arthur returned suspiciously all the way. He felt that if the other party was really a legendary dragon, it was not cost-effective to take such a risk to kill a half Lich.
After all, the legendary ancient dragon is not comparable to the legendary swordsman. To hunt a legendary dragon, it takes at least a whole legendary team to go together, and the other party has family members.
How about... Forget it?
He thought, why don''t you just forget it? Anyway, he didn''t explain it to anyone before. The people of kohall don''t know what they came out for. They can''t lose anyone when they give up on the way.
But after thinking about it, Jon Arthur still felt unwilling.
That scum of the dead is now hiding in the ass of the legendary dragon and living a peaceful and stable life. The so-called "king of the dragon" killed his own people without even apologizing. This must not be so.
OK, pay and find someone.
