The bonfire on the wall was blazing, and under the light of the fire, the projection of the black dragon on the wall behind it resembled undulating mountains.

However, it was not hot at all, and after moving to the Rhine court, Caesar's usual hedonistic spirit never changed, so there was a huge indissolvable ice erected around him, and he was also blessed with spells, which always output coolness and dispelled the heat that always enveloped the northland.

On the opposite side is a series of steep stone steps, with a vertical height of about twenty meters, although this is nothing for Caesar, but according to human concepts, this is already quite steep, and to see the throne of the Black Emperor, they must look up ninety degrees from their necks.

This is the work of the caster team.

Normally, Caesar would sit on a huge throne at the top, issuing orders and summoning people, and he didn't think it was when he was the leader of the Blackwing Lair, but since he ruled the Northlands, Caesar has grown to like it - there is nothing easier to enjoy the fragrance of power than to rule over mankind.

The Rhine Court is located at the highest point of the royal capital, and under the influence of magic, it continues to rise, showing the prominent position of the power center of the entire Northland kingdoms.

When Caesar stepped out of the royal court, he could see the capital stretching out in front of him, and at the end of it was a series of mountains that nearly ran through the Northlands in the Mostel Gorge, separating the Northlands from the wilderness, the old site of Blackwing, and the no-man's land beyond.

At his feet is an elegant and tranquil garden, and behind him is a sea of flowers.

It's hard to imagine that this is the environment around a dragon's lair, but it is, and it's even more beautiful than one might think.

"This is Queen Luna's garden." The leaders of the Blackwing Clan called it that privately.

When the weather is good, the black dragon will burrow into the sea of flowers and bask in the sun with Luna, restrain the dragon's power and let the unwise bees and butterflies roam around him, and occasionally lie directly in it to sleep, making a burst of snoring sounds.

Although the Northland was a poor and remote country, as the supreme ruler, Caesar still enjoyed everything he could except for his personal maid, and the contact with humans also evoked a lot of memories of his past life, which he would certainly not have received in his dreams in his previous life.

The Northland kingdoms belong to the Eladya Corner, and the pattern is too small to be compared with the central city-states and the Empire of the Immortals, and this place is very weak for both humans and other creatures, and all kinds of resources are scarce.

But it is precisely because of this that Caesar was able to take control of the entire Northland kingdom so easily.

You must know that even if you have been promoted to a legend, in the developed region of Eladia, it is still impossible for a dragon to rule such a large population, and in the core area of Eladia, legends abound, and the slaughter of the red dragon Aksuye, who was titled "Queen" some time ago, is enough to prove its danger.

- Of course, there is a fact that cannot be ignored is that Aksuya is not a lord dragon, but a lone dragon, who wanders around on weekdays, has a shortage of dependents, and his own laziness and arrogance have already laid the groundwork for her demise.

The Northland is very good, at least for the current Caesar, such a region that does not border with the outside world and does not interfere with foreign objects is precisely the best place for the Black Wing Empire to set sail.

Recently, the "Detailed Accounts of Internal Revenues and Expenditures" submitted by the rulers of Faye, Daros, and Noren have arrived at the Rhine court one after another, and after being sorted out by Hogg, they were finally reported to Caesar for information.

In fact, the IQ of the jackals is not high, even if they are talented, but Hogg is only at a medium level among humans, and after ruling the Northland countries, the Black Emperor has many candidates who are good at politics and planning to replace Hogg's place.

But the gnoll leader has been with him for more than ten years, his loyalty is undoubted, and he has never disappointed Caesar, so he has a lot of feelings for this guy, so he continues to let the gnoll leader stay by his side, and those candidates were instead arranged under Hogg to help the gnoll leader deal with the clutter.

Back to the point.

The income and expenditure of the Northland countries were very simple, and the output was exported from slaves, timber, and animal pelts, and the bulk imports were all kinds of metals, weapons and equipment, and grain.

All imports and exports were carried out by large caravans controlled by the nobles who traveled around the country until they reached the central city-states, selling their goods along the way, and returning the same way after purchasing the items designated by the nobles.

Caesar frowned at the scales on his brow bone, the biggest item produced by the Northland countries was actually the human trade.

As the ruler of the evil dragon, the black dragon itself is not very opposed to this evil business, but the crux of the matter is that the slaves sold by the Northland countries are not some wild people or natives taken from abroad, but the population of their own countries.

It's simply mentally retarded.

Even stupid and greedy kobolds probably wouldn't do such a stupid thing, these upper-class nobles can really get anything in order to make money.

In the case of timber, Caesar finally knew why the Gobi of Theron had become the Gobi, and the Calamity Dragon Angela had mentioned that in her Dragon Legacy, Theron was originally a rich rainforest like a green field, and the Orc Fortress lived alone, but now, the place was reduced to a desolate mudflat.

It wasn't a change for no reason, and of course, Caesar wasn't interested in being an ambassador for the environment, so let's take a look.

Fur trade.

The Northlanders and adventurers crossed Mostel to the north, into the wilderness and green fields, hunted a large number of birds and animals, and then resold them to the nobles in the capital at a low price, and the nobles sold a part of it themselves, and then produced it outward.

This is probably the only healthy industry.

Caesar thought about it, since Blackwing is here, then the population can no longer be sold, at least not for now, Blackwing's nest currently needs a large number of slaves to serve it.

As for the other two, they can be maintained, but the control will be transferred to the Black Wing's Nest, and the royal court will dump it outward.

This alone is not enough, if you don't want the Black Wing Empire to plan a difficult birth in advance, and you don't want to pay for it yourself, Caesar has to think of other ways to pry money.

Elegy cards are at best a side hustle, and you can't pin your hopes on the cards until you get feedback from the market.

What should I do?

……

Jon Arthur had already found time to leave Corhol and head to the Northlands, only to make a halfway turn back to the Central Free Trade City-States.

It's not that there is something wrong with him, but he keeps walking along the road to the Northlands, and as the distance gets closer, the more news he hears on the way, almost everyone says that the Black Emperor has become a legend, and he is far from being comparable to ordinary black dragons, with almost endless power.

Northland also has a legend?

Jon Arthur returned suspiciously, feeling that if the other party was really a legendary dragon, it would not be worth taking such a risk to kill a half-lich.

After all, the Legendary Ancient Dragon is not comparable to the Legendary Sword Saint, and to hunt a Legendary Dragon, for the sake of safety, at least an entire Legendary Team needs to work together to go there, and the other party still has dependents.

Or...... Never mind?

He thought that if he had just forgotten about it, he hadn't explained it to anyone before, and the subjects of Kohor didn't know what he was doing when he came out, and he couldn't lose anyone if he gave up halfway.

But after thinking about it, Jon Arthur still felt unwilling.

That necromantic scum is now hiding under the ass of the legendary dragon to live a peaceful and stable life, and the so-called "dragon king", who killed his own people, did not even apologize at all, this matter must not be left like this.

Okay, pay for it, find someone.
