Chapter 678: Dark God System! Meeting the Elf Goddess!

"Woo-woo!"

The whistle blew.

"Huh, what's that?"

The noble descendants waiting at the Flame Empire's border city gazed toward the distance, at a massive object speeding toward them.

The massive object was too long—it seemed to travel along fixed rails, moving at considerable speed.

This was the Flame Empire's magic train.

Similar to a regular train, but its construction involved numerous magical techniques, making its technological level far superior.

Its speed was faster, and its safety higher.

Over two or three hundred noble descendants were still waiting.

They all stood up, and soon saw the magic train pull into the station.

Immediately, car after car opened.

The noble descendants' gazes were instantly drawn to the contents inside the cars!

It was—vast quantities of goods!

Silk, tea, porcelain, wine, and huge amounts of potatoes and other crops.

"Grab them!"

Someone shouted out.

Instantly, all two or three hundred noble descendants shed their noble decorum and rushed toward the magic train.

The magic train was looted clean before it even began unloading.

The nobles seized the goods first, then approached the Flame Empire's officials to settle prices and pay.

No one dared flee without paying—it was pointless, with so many combat flying ships and winged folk overhead; besides, doing so might get them blacklisted and barred from returning.

The magic train, stretching over twenty cars, ensured each of the two or three hundred noble descendants gained at least some goods.

Once back in the Eternal Night Empire, selling these goods at a markup would bring them massive profits!

"We need to leave a few people here to buy goods for us. Oh, I noticed the city has warehouses for rent—some even have magic preservation. We should rent one."

One noble descendant thought.

He wasn't the only one to realize this.

Large numbers of noble descendants began renting warehouses in the city.

Then they left behind trusted core subordinates to specialize in purchasing Flame Empire goods.

This city, still only half-built, had already begun generating massive profits for the Flame Empire.

"Things seem good—all our goods have been snapped up."

Another day passed; when Meng Ying returned here, she learned the city's situation.

"This city doesn't seem to have a name yet. Let's call it Friendship City."

Meng Ying said.

Empress Tina gave Meng Ying a good impression—they'd already formed a preliminary friendship, so Friendship City it was!

"That's a good name. Now we can finally offload our surplus agricultural products."

The Crown Princess said.

Yes.

Lately, the Flame Empire's crops had grown wildly.

There was no help for it—the Lv7 Civilization Flame title bonus was terrifying.

It was as if every single crop had a magician dedicated solely to accelerating growth and eliminating pests; three or four harvests per year were no problem—how terrifying was that?

The direct consequence? The Flame Empire now suffered from overproduction.

Especially in Yan Province: potatoes piled into mountains, grapes covered every hill and valley, tea bushes the same—there weren't enough people to harvest them.

Fortunately, recent imports of captives from the Three Kingdoms and the Purple Gold Empire had slightly eased the labor shortage.

"Alright, Crown Princess, you stay here to oversee things. I'm going to the Purple Gold Empire."

Meng Ying said to the Crown Princess.

"Fine!"

The Crown Princess nodded.

The Purple Gold Empire remained stable on the surface, but beneath, there might be conspiracies.

The Purple Gold Empire's god wouldn't easily accept defeat; among its two hundred million people, all kinds of individuals existed—the god must still have hidden followers.

Besides, if that god promised certain high nobles advantages—like extending their lifespans—these nobles would be tempted.

That's the difficulty in conquering a small empire.

Fortunately, the Flame Empire's three edicts had massively shattered the Purple Gold Empire's god's foundation of faith.
