The history of Dragón stretches back thousands of years.The dragon is known as a dragon, and it is said that Dragon stood proudly as a powerful city-state in the world when the lights of civilization were not yet in full bloom, and became the first shelter and guiding beacon of civilization.Legends are always exaggerated, but the people of the Empire have always been proud of their long history, and firmly believe that at least 90 percent of those legends are verifiable.In the magnificent imperial capital built with black frost crystal, countless books and antiquities from antiquity are piled up in the palace and academy, and the empire is full of relics that span the long river of history, these things that have gone through the vicissitudes of life are silently telling the ancient heritage of this country, and seem to support the saying that "the empire originated in the Age of Chaos".Therefore, when the proud imperial people mention the "ancient country of Isu" on the other side of the world, they will always involuntarily have a sense of superiority, and even feel that the word "ancient" has a slight obstruction.In the face of an ancient empire, which country can be called an "ancient" character?
Dragon's kingdom was established by force.For thousands of years, this ancient empire has stood firmly on the apex of the planet Silahrien, and it is a vast territory that rules over the vast land and sea of half of the planet, and such a vast territory is not a godsend, it has been fought by generations of imperial people with iron and blood.The Empire was once just one of many brave barbarians and tenacious realms on the planet occupied by the Empire, but under the leadership of the legendary Immortal Emperor, the Black Sword Knights of Dragon defeated all the enemies that stood before them, including the Frost Ridge Clan, which was ten times stronger than humans, and the Magical Nation with elemental blood.Wherever the Knights of the Black Sword Order's twin sword banners went, every inch of land and sea became the territory of the Empire, which was almost regarded as an iron law in Silahrien.The loyal, strong, and united Black Sword Knights have been a model for all knights and warriors throughout the world of Rahrien, not only in the Western Hemisphere, but also in the White City Federation in the Eastern Hemisphere, with a special respect for the Black Sword Knights.Although every member of the White City Federation knew very well that the reason why the powerful and ancient empire on the other side of the world rift had a long-term peaceful relationship with the Federation was only because the terrible abyss that tore the planet blocked the Black Sword Knights' footsteps, and once they lost that natural danger, the warlike Empire would sooner or later point their sword blades at this half of the planet, they were still in awe of the black lion on the other side of the world.But how long can this black male lion stand in the world?
…… A village in the Empire, like most of the villages in this vast country, is nameless, and does not appear in the naturalist of a polymath for some famous specialty, nor for the bard of a famous heroic and brave man, but for hundreds of years it has been lying quietly and without any sense of presence on the plains of the southwestern frontier of the Empire, and it will soon go down in history as a turning point.The night of fighting was over, and the warring sides had shed enough blood to leave the battlefield that was not worth holding, the unextinguished flames gasping over the buildings that had been burned to the ground, puffs of smoke rising from the jagged carbonized beams and trees, and drifting high into the sky, where the smell of blood occasionally saw fragmented, abandoned weaponry.A pitch-black, broad-bladed sword with a strangely intricate mechanism lay silently in the mud, the blood on the blade had turned black and red, while a badly charred banner fell to the ground, with a blue background depicting black twin swords intertwined together.But the pattern of one of the swords is broken............
In a medium-sized town in the southern part of the Empire, a dusty caravan is walking through the town's proudest bluestone road.This is a small caravan that is very common in the empire: as a large and highly developed country, busy commercial activities and a large flow of goods are the basic conditions to ensure the normal operation of the country, all kinds of large and small caravans circulate between cities day and night, including the merchants of the surrounding vassal barbarians and the merchants from the other side of the rift, and the empire has long been accustomed to this.Three rune caravans powered by magic traps drove the road, while several armed guards sat on the railings on the edge of the caravan lazily surveying the streets, and the last caravan was visibly modified, with enlarged, sealed compartments indicating that it was the caravan owner's caravan.Charlemagne looked at the street outside for a moment, as if carelessly, before withdrawing his gaze and reclosing the sunshade on the carriage window.Like Avina, he used alchemy potions to dye his gray-white hair pale blonde, and his face was cleverly disguised, which was enough to hide from the world without the invention of fingerprint recognition and DNA tracing technology.Although the appearance of a royal brother and sister who live in seclusion is a distant message to civilians, for some people who planned the pirate attack, all the information of the brother and sister must have been in their hands for a long time, and cross-dressing is also a last resort."
It's a bustling place."
Hao Ren had been looking at the scene outside, and he was deeply impressed by the prosperity of the town, which was an eye-opener for the bustling market and the various means of transportation and public facilities powered by magical power.Although the technological routes taken are different, this planet that uses magical power to light up the technology of flying machines seems to have allowed ordinary people to live a life close to the standard of the contemporary medium country on Earth."
Although we love our homeland very much, we have to admit that the Dragonon Empire is further advanced than any other country in the Eastern Hemisphere in terms of magic technology, including the ancient kingdom of Isu is no match for it in this regard," Avena said in a soft voice, "Ysu has a deep magical attainment, but our classic magic system is not completely compatible with the magic technology that is widely used today.In Ys, many traditional mages scoff at the growing popularity of magic channeling technology, believing that this cheap and lacklustre thing is a symbol of the nouveau riche, but few have thought about the Dragon Empire's meteoric advance. ”"How did this ancient empire not only remain strong, but it is becoming stronger," Charlemagne sighed softly, "how did this country do it, but it always had the youngest mentality?"
”Vivien raised her eyebrows, "Because they have an immortal and eternally wise Dragon Soul Emperor?"
”Lily next to her took over the conversation: "But aren't guys with this kind of setting generally super difficult old stubborns - after all, they have lived for so many years." ”Vivien and Leah's eyebrows twitched slightly at the same time.Charlemagne and Avena laughed, not taking the topic seriously, but Avena reminded later: "Don't be so open-mouthed in front of the Imperials, they won't allow anyone to make such fun of their Emperor Majesty." ”Hao Ren listened as he looked at this "magic vehicle" that was empty on the surface and actually relied on secondary ghost energy in its core, while thinking back to what had happened before.After reaching a consensus with the Charlemagne siblings, the group quickly finalized a plan to operate in the Empire in a different guise.In order to divert the attention of enemies who may be hiding in the territory of the empire, and in order to ensure the secrecy of the operation, Hao Ren first sent the Giant Tortoise Rock to the border city closest to the world rift in the Dragongon Empire, and threw most of the "hitchhikers" on the ship directly on the road on the outskirts of the city, and then the spaceship took off directly when these people were still in a circle, and ran thousands of kilometers before landing near this town in the south of the empire.Later, Charlemagne's siblings, Hao Ren and his party, plus several guards carefully selected by Charlemagne who could be trusted 100%, used the "camouflage props" produced in the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace factory to dress up as a small caravan that could be seen everywhere in the empire.The "camouflage items" produced by the factory included new clothes for each of them, cheap swords in the hands of the guards (the original sophisticated equipment was left on the ship), several "magic caravans" produced according to Avenna's description, and two carts full of goods.It can be said that the trick is done in full.The "hitchhikers" who were left behind in the border cities will seek the help of the Isu embassy under the organization of Captain Boken, and although it will take some time, they will eventually return to their hometowns safely, and the news of the attack on the White Pearl and the safe return of the survivors will also spread—this will cause enough confusion and confusion among the conspirators that they may hardly have imagined that while the chaotic refugees are pouring into the embassy, Charlemagne and Avenna, along with several guards, had already set out on another leg of the border.To Hao Ren's surprise, such a caravan was unexpectedly easy to move within the territory of this huge empire, he had thought that the empire would have strict laws and regulations, and strict identity checks and security checks were required to enter and exit any city checkpoints, but in fact, except for some routine interrogations and inspections, they did not encounter similar troubles - forged passes and identity information were almost useless."
Only in the imperial capital and a few big cities will the management of the Dragon Empire in other places be relatively lax, as you said," Avanna introduced the situation of the kingdom to Hao Ren, who now basically believed in the term "isolated World Tree Temple", and Hao Ren and his party's ignorance of the details of the world situation naturally became a matter of course, "The rules and order are maintained by the majesty of the Emperor himself and the Black Sword Knights, and the law is secondary."
In this country, the emperor and the knights are two sharp swords hanging high in everyone's hearts, the sword can protect themselves in the face of foreign enemies, and can also cleanse the empire of crimes, in such a situation, few people will do anything that violates the laws of the empire. ”Lily pouted: "But we are swaggering around in this country disguised as a caravan, doesn't this prove that this management method is very flawed?"
”"The reason for the swagger is that everything we do is exactly what a caravan is supposed to do," said Avanna, smiling quietly, "whether it is the composition of vehicles and personnel, or the contents of the goods, or the route of movement, all are legal and passable - except for our identity." ”A wonderful country - Hao Ren couldn't help but think so.
