The Path to Lordship Begins in the North

Linde was indeed very interested in the continent of Solon, not only to help 550C clear away the fog of war, but also to exterminate those demons.

The demon race is a product of the Adventists' use of biotechnology to combine with the demon god. If demons could be used for human experiments, it might be possible to grasp some information about the demon god, or even some patterns of that gaze.

But all of this is just the best-case scenario. While Linde is still alive, he can still control the situation, but if Linde dies, this human experimentation may go in an unpredictable direction, just like how the gene warriors of the old empire broke out in internal strife after 550C fell into slumber. So this door cannot be opened, at least not openly.

There are many ways to study the properties of waves; it's not necessary to conduct human experiments on demons. It's better to exterminate demons completely, otherwise they might try to gain rights that don't belong to them by feigning helplessness.

However, when it came to biotechnology in the Golden Age, Linde glanced at Tia, who was sitting on the sofa eating potato chips and drinking cola.

After the war ended, Tia returned here as a guest. According to the information on the space station, the elves were compiled from the genes of the northern and eastern great powers. Although they were more similar in appearance to the people of the northern great power, the eastern people's obsession with farming was engraved in the hearts of the elves. No wonder there were so many druids among the elves.

Fortunately, the elves' genes don't have much interest in expansion; their greatest desire... Lind looked at Tia again, probably to eat her.

Otherwise, the elves would probably be another warlike race.

Tia seemed to notice Lind's gaze, blinked at him, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Linde then pulled out the congratulatory letter that the Elf Queen had written to him and asked Tia with some doubt, "Your Elf Queen seems a little disappointed that I did not inherit the legal title of the old empire?"

Tia's face immediately fell. Originally, Tia had simply been looking at her mother's love history with the intention of having some fun, but for some reason, Tia found herself increasingly unable to laugh.

"Who knows?"

Tia muttered something.

Seeing that Tia didn't want to talk about this, Lind had no choice but to change the subject, saying, "Some members of the delegation from Castile wanted to go back, and I gave one of them a ship. I don't know how they are now."

"Now that the Sauron dragons and the Avars have been defeated on this continent, we only need to conquer the Sea of ​​Unpredictability to establish contact with the Sauron continent. This is already being prepared. Although the ship to cross the sea is still under development, some people have already volunteered to go to the Sauron continent to explore first. They greatly admire the elves. Do you elves want to send people over?"

Linde's so-called transoceanic ships were not the ancient transoceanic vessels of the Avars, but rather modern ocean liners. However, there were too many things to deal with after the war, and the construction of ocean liners was not progressing quickly. But the trade with the continent of Soron was very tempting, so some desperate merchants contacted the Castilian delegation to meet with Linde, hoping that Linde would allow them to go to sea and trade with the continent of Soron in place of the Avars and demons.

Linde readily agreed and intended to provide some support. The Avars were able to cross the ocean smoothly thanks to the escort of the dragons, but it was clear that Margaret's dragons would not, and had no motivation to, do such a dangerous thing. Therefore, those who planned to open a stable sea route to the continent of Soron could indeed be called warriors.

Even with dragon escorts, the Avars still suffered considerable losses along the way. The Sea of ​​Unpredictability was fraught with danger. The fact that the Castilian delegation was able to reach the vicinity of the Mu continent was largely due to chance. However, if they could successfully reach the Solon continent, the profits would be enormous. With Lind's approval, these merchants quickly recruited sailors, even gained the support of some nobles, and acquired some weapons for self-defense.

"Let's wait until we have a stable sea route. The sea is full of dangers, and our elf population is small, so it's not suitable for us to go on adventures. But I'll ask around for you. Maybe there are one or two oddballs among the elves who are willing to go to sea."

With the establishment of the new empire, the relationship between humans and elves became closer, and more and more elves left the forest to help and guide humans in farming, helping Linde to quickly restore the most basic production.

The Industrial Revolution in the North did not cause too many deaths from starvation, not only because it took place during a war, but also because of the strong support from the elves. Lind hoped to use the elves' power to minimize the negative impact of the Industrial Revolution.

"Our human population isn't much left either."

Linde sighed as he looked at the report. Due to the demons' super-level magic in the Eastern Territory and the dirty bombs they dropped on the continent, coupled with various war factors, the population on the continent had decreased sharply. Although it was only compared to the peak period, the population was indeed decreasing in a real way. Fortunately, Linde was still young and had enough time to accompany humanity to develop slowly.

......

To Lind and Grey Robe's surprise, the Castilian delegation member who had set sail with the letters and goods did not die at sea, but successfully reached the continent of Solon. However, he did not go directly to the port of Castile, but instead arrived at a neutral seaport.

The member of the delegation was already very weak, and on the way, he had been robbed by bandits and looted by fleeing soldiers. Not only were the goods almost gone, but many of the letters written by the grey-robed man were also lost. He succumbed to illness halfway through the journey and died before reaching Castile, but at least his body successfully returned home, and the remaining letters were successfully delivered to King González VI of Castile.

Castile only knows that Grey Robe and Rosalind have indeed landed on the legendary continent of Mu, but they are unaware of the defeat of the Avars and the demons on Mu.

Castile is somewhat like the Cape, a relatively loose kingdom. Apart from being able to use super-tier magic, its level is about the same as the Cape back then.

However, because they had to face the invasion of the Avars together, they were much more united than the Capetians for a period of time. At least, there was no situation where the king had to rack his brains to find ways to eliminate the powerful nobles in his own backyard when facing a strong enemy.

However, Castile's current situation is probably not much better than Capet's was back then, because at least Capet had a clear crown prince, while Castile is embroiled in a succession crisis. Because it is on the front lines of war, Castile's national strength is being constantly weakened by the Avars, and now, due to the succession crisis, even those within the alliance are eyeing Castile with hostility.

Judging from how those princes and princesses cruelly kicked the little sister off on her voyage, we know that the situation in Castile is now beyond description.

Even if King González VI wanted to stabilize the situation, it was too late. In fact, the letter had already been circulated among the nobles along the way before it even reached him, and those nobles probably knew its contents even before González VI.

Seeing the open envelope, which was clearly undisguised, González sighed, lit a lamp, and began to read it carefully.
