The various assembly line factories were under construction, and the personnel were gradually being recruited and prepared. On the other side, the first batch of Elegy cards had been fully produced and were all in place.
Today was the day that the Blackwing Clan would release the standard Elegy card to the market.
Actually, during the process of production and planning, Caesar had received a lot of questions. The normal low-intelligence monsters of the Blackwing Clan naturally did not mind. However, Hogg, who was in charge of this matter, the Wild Boar Man Parfel, as well as the workers in every aspect of the production workshop, did not understand what the Black Dragon Lord was trying to do.
Although they did not dare to question it, they could not help but mutter in their hearts.
In a world like Airadia, where the bottom level of development was extremely low, no ruler would do such a thing like Caesar. And with the thinking of primitive creatures, they could easily guess the true intentions of the Black Emperor.
Even Luna, who had always had absolute trust and support for the Black Dragon, was full of confidence after listening to his detailed description. But when she thought about it in private, she could not help but hesitate, unable to believe it to the end. She had reservations about the prospects after the cards were released as described by the Black Dragon.
But Caesar still decided to complete this matter.
Psychologists divided the psychological needs of humans, or intelligent creatures, into a total of five types: physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, respect needs, and self-actualization needs.
Caesar did not lack in food and clothing, so he did not have to worry about this at all. At the same time, the Black Dragon Lord's self-control was also very strong. Otherwise, he would only need to wave his hand in the North, and there would be countless members of the opposite sex coming over. Dragons did not have reproductive isolation, so it was not a problem even for humans.
But Caesar did not need it. He only needed to wait for Luna to come of age.
In terms of safety needs, in Airadia, no creature could have absolute safety, and it was the same for gods. This point could only be obtained with the continuous growth of the Black Dragon's strength and influence to obtain more safety guarantees.
There was no point in being anxious.
When it came to socializing, Caesar had the little fellow to confide in and did not need to hide anything. He also had the support of Hogg, Nero, and a group of loyal subordinates. When he was free, he could also transform and go to the Northern Kingdoms to experience life. This was very easy.
There was no need to mention the need for respect. He was the emperor of the Northlands and the king of Black Wing's Nest. He had a sufficient status. Even the kings and archdukes of the other countries in the Northlands had to kneel before him and pay their respects, trembling in fear and trepidation.
The only thing Caesar was thinking about and pursuing now was the realization of his self-worth.
As mentioned before, he did not have much ambition. He just wanted to be a lord who was neither too big nor too small, farming, selling cards, and earning enough money and trophies. If he was bored, he could take the little girl to visit the scenery of other areas in Airadia.
Speaking of which, although the things he did were cruel and violent, Black Dragon's vision really wasn't evil.
After all, Caesar was not a demon.
…
In 1643 of the Third Era of Airadia, the 43rd day of the rainy season in the Northern Kingdoms, a total of 100 Elegy Taverns in the Northern Kingdoms Alliance opened at the same time.
This caused quite a commotion. In fact, when the taverns were being built, they had already attracted the attention of the people.
1643 was the second year after the Black Dragon took over the Northern Kingdoms. Under the strict rule of the Black Wing Palace, the internal situation of the Northern Kingdoms was gloomy.
In order to prevent people from escaping, the Black Emperor strictly prohibited any humans without permission from stepping out of the borders of the Northern Kingdoms. Just this ban alone had completely cut off the lives of the adventurers. At the same time, he also blocked the trade and exports of the various territories. As a result, the economic standards of the various countries fell again and again, falling to a level that was close to collapse.
In the bleak situation of the various countries, there were still people who dared to open taverns, and it was said that there were many of them.
Did they think that they had too much money?
If they had money, why didn't they take it out and spread it around?
The hatred of the rich began to grow, and people gritted their teeth.
Many of the refugees who had lost their jobs also had crooked thoughts. They were prepared to wait for these taverns to open for business and make trouble a few times, begging for money.
However, when the Elegy Tavern opened for business, everyone with their own ulterior motives immediately burrowed into a hole of shame.
Open your eyes wide and take a good look at who was standing outside the tavern to maintain order.
Black robes.
The boss behind the tavern was related to the Black Wing Palace.
After asking around and exchanging information, the people who were usually bored and bored immediately exploded.
It was said that every Elegy Tavern had a Black Robe standing guard.
Every one!
Black Wing above (Gods above), this was a direct property of the palace?
The people trembled in fear, fearing that two monsters would rush out from the tavern. Although it was proven that the Black Wing Clan would not harm the people for no reason, it still could not change the inherent impression that the monsters had left on the people.
The sun was setting in the west, and Barton ended his day's work.
He was a hired worker of the Lord of Cassan City, and the Lord of Cassan City was a new noble conferred by the Black Wing Palace. In this way, he also benefited from it, and could be considered half an internal member of the Black Wing's Nest.
This identity was now quite popular in the northern countries, and his status was higher than that of ordinary people. Barton also often dealt with the Black Robes, so he was not as afraid of them as ordinary people.
Therefore, when Barton saw a newly opened tavern guarded by Black Robes on the main street, he could not help but be curious and stood by the side of the road to take a look.
The Black Robes did not care about him. These lackeys of the Black Wing Nest seemed to only be here to maintain order, so Barton's gaze was able to pass through the expensive glass door and look into the tavern.
The tavern's layout was not bad. It had a thick solid wood floor, and the black rock walls were carved with dragons and warriors. The counter was at the innermost part of the bottom, and there were small square tables and chairs around it. It was too hot in the north, so there was no fireplace inside. Instead, there was a piece of solid ice that was reinforced by magic.
Barton's heart skipped a beat. The furnishings inside were too neat and high-end, and there were even things that had been reinforced by magic. It was not like the messy and dirty tavern in his impression. Instead, it was more like the banquet hall of those nobles, which made him flinch.
The unknown would always make people panic and feel uncomfortable. Moreover, this place was related to the Black Wing Nest, so Barton was a little timid. He did not dare to try it, and after a few glances, he was ready to turn and leave.
At this moment, the Black Robes who had been chatting at the side suddenly turned their heads, glanced at him, and casually said, "The Elegy Tavern will be opening in a few days, and the drinks will be free. The higher-ups said so."
Free?
Barton was stunned, afraid that he had heard wrongly. In the Airadia, riding and drinking were one of the few entertainment activities. The former had a high threshold, and alcohol had a wider audience. Both men and women in the north had drunk alcohol, and some even drank it like water, but it was the cheapest kind.
If it was really free, this new tavern would probably go bankrupt in a day.
