<p>The dragon, the most vicious creature on the Solun Continent.</p>
<p>Extremely sensitive to wealth, or rather to gold.</p>
<p>The Albar Rock Area is an important source of magic stones, so the Dragon Church has tried more than once to seize this land, but has never succeeded.</p>
<p>When they tried, it was not a failure, just a lack of success. The Dragon Church remains a major force in the magic stone-producing area of Albar. When they just learned that the Empire’s people would also come to explore Albar, even wanting to monopolize this magic stone area, the dragons immediately sprang into action.</p>
<p>Two dragons are completely legendary existences in some small kingdoms, unable to contend with the perceived threat. The Solun Giant Dragon has always operated this way: the moment they appear, people on the ground will immediately flee in fear, leaving behind a few brave souls who can slightly resist the dragons. Those who survive will be awarded the title of hero.</p>
<p>It was supposed to be this way, it should have been this way.</p>
<p>At first, the people on the ground really did run away in fear when they saw the dragons approaching, especially those gold prospectors and the locally-trained new soldiers of the Empire, who seemed to have a natural fear of the dragons.</p>
<p>However, the soldiers of the Empire were different; they were curiously observing the dragons soaring freely in the sky.</p>
<p>“Is that it? Why does it seem like the Solun Giant Dragon has shrunk even further?” </p>
<p>A Lars Knight spoke up in the public dream world.</p>
<p>“Because the dragons from before perished in the previous Great Continental War; what remains in Solun are mostly old, weak, sick, or some young dragons.” </p>
<p>Myron also connected to the public dream world to explain to the Lars Knights.</p>
<p>Upon hearing this news, the Lars Knights appeared eager to try their skills.</p>
<p>“Follow orders, don’t underestimate the enemy.” </p>
<p>As this voice echoed in the public dream world, the Lars Knights quickly mobilized, bringing out prepared missiles and anti-aircraft guns.</p>
<p>Soon after, the priests and sisters began to pray and bless in front of the missiles and anti-aircraft guns, as the Goddess’s holy light seemed to truly shine upon these missiles and anti-aircraft guns.</p>
<p>Before long, the two dragons understood what it meant to be struck by a meteor shower falling from the ground.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>Marsha was busy; more and more dragons came to inquire about the M Continent, and even the most stubborn traditionalists had to admit the fact of the dragons’ defeat on the M Continent.</p>
<p>The two dragons were returned blackened, and they were sent back by humans; this was the first time since arriving on the Solun Continent.</p>
<p>When the dragons could unite to drive humans back from places they shouldn’t be, using all their strength to kick the Empire’s people out, many dragons felt that the humans’ anti-air missiles were not endless; at least on the Solun Continent, it was impossible to manufacture them infinitely—every shot fired meant one less.</p>
<p>But so what? At least humans declared that the sky no longer solely belonged to the dragons. Moreover, could dragons really unite now?</p>
<p>The humans captured the scene of the dragons being struck down by the reversed meteor using reflective magic, and spread it around. After studying it repeatedly, the dragons discovered that those missiles moved in a strange manner, as if they truly had divine assistance behind them.</p>
<p>The dragons had heard legends of human deities on the M Continent, and now, after experiencing the great war, it seemed the human gods had become more unified with humanity.</p>
<p>Those were not mere false gods on the Solun Continent but true deities that could bestow divine powers upon humans.</p>
<p>To defeat those humans from the Empire, this factor must be considered.</p>
<p>Even if the dragons truly united and overcame humans supported by gods, what about the next wave of attacks from the Empire? It was evident from that black ship that the Empire had mastered the technology to stabilize crossing the Sea of Instability.</p>
<p>Was it really necessary to provoke the Empire that could crush the main strength of the dragons?</p>
<p>Moreover, Marsha had confirmed the situation on the M Continent; the dragons there had indeed become very wealthy. They were not afraid of their brothers suffering, but feared their brothers sleeping on golden beds. From the books called “magazines” that Marsha brought back from the M Continent, it could be seen that dragons were indeed profiting there.</p>
<p>While not every dragon could make money, it was undeniably a better life than living in the barren lands of the Solun Continent.</p>
<p>After sending away yet another faction of dragons, Marsha realized the age of dragons was ending. With the widespread transmission of that footage, the dragons could no longer unite; without unity, they posed no threat to the Empire.</p>
<p>Humans no longer feared dragons; the dragon breath and claws would no longer be infallible, and the scales of dragons could not withstand meteors roaring from the earth to the sky. The old era needed to turn the page.</p>
<p>Marsha found some stationery and began to write a letter to the blue dragon from the M Continent, which symbolized wisdom.</p>
<p>The Albar Rock Area was soon completely controlled by Sean, and those gold prospectors began to be screened, leaving behind a group that looked clean and willing to work for the Goddess.</p>
<p>On the M Continent, the magic stones were no longer relied upon for small-scale mining; they revolved around the obelisk to continuously recycle magic power. If managed properly, it could run in cycles. However, on the Solun Continent, these small-scale mined magic stones still counted as the lifeblood of the Empire, the absolute core.</p>
<p>With these magic stones, more and more engineering facilities began to be established, finally allowing Sean to establish a foothold on the Solun Continent.</p>
<p>After consuming the Albar Rock Area, Castile halted its expansion. Taking this opportunity, many people began to get closer to Sean and Rosalind.</p>
<p>Many countries actively offered large amounts of magic stones to exchange with Sean for cannons or other goods.</p>
<p>Even one country didn’t exchange weapons but traded a complete set of magic lamps and some luxury goods with Sean.</p>
<p>This puzzled Sean greatly, yet he ultimately chose to respect and bless.</p>
<p>The dazzling array of countries on the Solun Continent opened Sean’s eyes. At first, he was busy, but after realizing that most countries were only the size of a village, he finally had time to handle other matters.</p>
<p>The imagined group of lunatics armed with Supremacy Magic wanting to annihilate everything did not appear, because everyone knew that wherever the land was turned into a no-magic zone, it would become the Empire’s territory. After all, one could not defeat the Empire in a no-magic area.</p>
<p>In reality, many Solun people brought up this strategy to Sean but were vetoed. After all, a no-magic zone was not simply devoid of magical power; losing magic would destroy many states, and Sean promised not to use Supremacy Magic first. For a time, even those high-level professions near Castile became quiet.</p>
<p>The Empire’s scholars began to gather magic on the Solun Continent, and the Empire’s bureaucrats began to take root here, as Castile seemed to halt its expansion in an instant. Of course, it could also be due to digesting the gains, while the other countries couldn’t guess or dare to speculate.</p>
<p>However, for a time, various customs of the Empire began to gain popularity on the Solun Continent, except for the noble ladies doing their afternoon tea and quiz, because not knowing was simply not knowing.</p>
