To Four Thousand Years Later

Arthur soon left Vienna. He is escorting such a very important thing, the wisdom bestowed upon him by His Majesty Pope Leonardo of the Three Kingdoms.

The difficult situation faced by the Frankish Republic seemed to be a trivial matter in front of Leonardo II.

Even if he is in Vienna or the Pope's Palace, he can accurately judge what kind of problem they encountered, where the root of the problem lies, and how to solve it just by sitting leisurely in his seat and listening to Arthur talk about what happened to Frank. This kind of problem. His Majesty's analysis was extremely precise. The scheme given is also clear and easy to implement. It was not like the professional terms that the Frankish legal experts pulled out as they spoke, which made him froze for a while, and he could almost say that Leonardo's words made him suddenly understand. Arthur thought he had no talent in such fields as society, law, and morality. He is just an ordinary, relatively responsible businessman. Like all big self-made businessmen, he had, of course, had his share of unseemly things—for example, his youthful business involved slaves and arms until a decade ago.

Of course, the slaves here do not refer to the New World continent. After all, in the Frankish Republic, if any enterprise or factory used slaves, their enemies would inevitably use this as an excuse to attack them.

Teutonic, Sardinian and Chu countries also did not use slaves. Although the Principality of Lithuania uses slaves, they generally use criminals or descendants of captured northern barbarians as slaves—but in them, life is not much better even if they are not slaves. After all, in the world of ice and snow, there is basically nothing to grow, and there are not many live animals to hunt. It is the daily life of all civilians to suffer from hunger. Countries that still use slaves. That is, the New Roman Kingdom, White Egypt and Red Egypt, and parts of Africa. But it is also impossible for Arthur to sell Yu's slaves from the New World to such a distant foreign country, he does not have such a big name.

Even, he couldn't guarantee that if his goods were too close, they would not be robbed by the pirates hired by the New Roman Kingdom.

But the new continent discovered by the Frankish Republic is not only the New World Continent, but also the "Southern Continent" on the east side of the Indian Ocean, the territorial waters of Chu State and further south. Arthur's goods come from the "Southern Ten Thousand Continent". Unlike the New World Continent, which was discovered decades earlier, the Southern Continent has just been discovered and is still in a state of low development. Or it can be said that Arthur was the first person to land on the "Southern Continent!" And it was not until six or seven years ago that he sold the news and the waterway to certain members of the parliament at a high price. Large-scale colonization for the first time - because there are dragons here.

Yes, there are dragons here.

Except for the New World Continent, which is rich in products, pleasant climate, and sparsely populated, the Southern Continent has a hot and arid climate, a lot of mosquitoes, and wild creatures are extremely aggressive. the value of. Even bigger than the New World Continent. Because they found some rare treasures that only exist in legends here, such as lions, centaurs, dwarfs, pixies, goblins, and Malanlins, etc.

What a novelty, what a rare prey! There is a folk legend that the "little Solomon" Charles the Great was not actually eaten by the Satanic dragon, but a young dragon who was fascinated by his charm and took him to the legendary fairyland "Ah Wallonia, living together forever. Since there are so many magical creatures that only appear in mythology, and even legendary dragons here, there is no doubt that this place is the legendary Avalon! Although the terrifying, mountain-like red dragon unexpectedly did not object to their hunting, it would appear to persuade them to fight if they killed them indiscriminately. The result of persuading a fight is usually the death of both the prey and the hunter. Only very rarely does it talk to the hunters with a mouthful of human words.

It claims to be Abaddon, the son of Solomon, the wise king, and the lord of this land. If they can bring some special products every time, and send some skilled workers to renovate here, they can let them take some prey. It's not that the Frankish nobles are afraid of this giant dragon, and they don't believe that this dragon will be Solomon's child, but there is really no need to make a big deal out of it. They even lied, saying that the rare game here was "discovered in the New World", which made it very easy for caravans from other countries to find it. exactly. You said so. Your father is strong hey.

At first they thought the dragon was going to eat people, but later they found that the dragon usually sleeps and occasionally leaves. So they also moved some thoughts, planning to slowly send some second sons of noble families to gradually move over with workers and guards. After all, they are the only ones who know this land now. It would be bad if everyone knew about the trouble.

Think about it, since the dragon related to the wise king Solomon has lived here for thousands of years, does it mean that the treasure of King Solomon is stored on this island?

In legends, dragons always appear with treasure. But there must be a story for the groundless rumors! Think about it, King Solomon received a lot of gift money every year during his lifetime, maybe there will be tens of thousands of tons of gold hidden here, gems all over the ground and so on. And it is said that King Solomon buried many copper, stone and clay tablets in the past. A third of the world's secrets are engraved on it. Since the dragon exists, then the treasure of Solomon may exist; if the treasure of Solomon exists, then the stone tablet may also exist.

As a result, the parliamentary nobles of the Frankish Republic began to send their trusted people to the southern continent. On the surface, they wanted to build settlements and hunt rare creatures, but in fact they were trying to find the legendary Solomon's house. Later pirates from the New Roman Kingdom also discovered the continent. But they also kept silent. Instead, they maintained a tacit understanding of quiet work with the people of the Frankish Republic. And claim it was found in the "New World Continent".

Later, the fleets of India and Chu also discovered this place. They also didn't say anything, and cooperated with the others to talk nonsense without changing their expressions.

So they occupied a corner of the island and began to slowly explore in this difficult-to-survive "Avalon". Basic food, drinking water and other living medical supplies all depended on the supplies of local ships.

As this silence continued, Arthur keenly realized that the situation in the southern continent might start to become tense, so he withdrew in time, ceded the ownership of his caravan and exchanged it for some authority, and transferred to To the New World.

For example, the New World's specialty "rubber" and its subsidiary products have the exclusive right to operate in the Frankish Republic.
