Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 201 I taught you all this

"What? Grand Archon Elfino is also being investigated? She's a dragon fairy, how could that be possible?"

"The Augustus family is going too far. How dare they be so presumptuous and rude?"

"Do you know what crime they have charged Mr. Elfino with?"

"What crime?"

"Violating the kingdom's laws, resisting the kingdom's censorship, being disloyal to the kingdom, building and using palaces beyond the standard, accepting banquets from foreign royal families and nobles at will, using the convenience of his position to seek benefits in the selection and appointment of officials, accepting bribes from many large chambers of commerce, granting political asylum, occupying large tracts of mountains and forests, and selling out the power of other countries..."

"That's enough, stop talking!"

"I haven't finished yet. They charged Mr. Elfino with twenty-four crimes."

The big goblin who hadn't finished reciting said with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

"Are they crazy? Don't those guys know the status of Lord Elfino among the fairies?"

Although the number of dragon fairies is no longer so rare, so far, a total of seventeen dragon fairies have been born, but the status of dragon fairies is different.

The first three dragon fairies born are now the insurmountable mountains in the hearts of the fairies. They are the three giants among millions of fairies. Elfino is one of the three giants of fairies. In the future, she will have the opportunity to be promoted to the fairy queen and reproduce the legendary existence.

Such a special status is not only reflected among the goblins. When the goblins enter human civilization and hold power, this status is also reflected in the positions they hold.

Elfilo serves as the Grand Archon of the royal capital. The position she holds is the pinnacle of the fairies' political career. Just like her status as one of the three giants, she is an existence that millions of fairies look up to.

But now, the mountain in the eyes of the goblin has collapsed. Twenty-four charges, each of which is a serious crime, sound like just dismissal from office and confiscation of property is not enough to pay for the sins.

"Fairy? Are you still dreaming? The people of Augustus no longer take us fairies seriously. Otherwise, how would they have the courage to investigate Lord Elphinor?"

"Does this mean you don't take us seriously? This clearly means you don't take His Majesty the Holy Dragon seriously!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you want to alienate the relationship between the Augustus family and His Majesty?"

"What do you mean by alienation? This is the fact. The Augustus family does not need His Majesty Noah now. They are clearing out His Majesty Noah's influence in the kingdom."

"That's right. The Book of Noah has stopped being printed. I think it won't be long before all versions of the Book of Noah become banned books."

"Stop talking nonsense. There are still fairies working in Uther. If your words get out, they will be in danger."

"If there's any danger, at worst, all of you come back and we can go to the Fairy Village to grow potions together!"

"What are you thinking? How big do you think Fairyland is? How many fairies can it accommodate? There is no place for us now. It has already been packed!"

Outside the Cloud Platform, the sounds of goblins' discussions and arguments could be heard constantly. Similar arguments had existed since the first batch of goblins who were dismissed from their posts were sent back. However, it was not until the Dragon Goblin Elfino was dismissed from his post that the popularity of this topic reached its peak among the goblin community.

Because of the Augustus family's investigation into the ruling group of fairies, a large number of fairies were stripped of their positions and their illegal gains were taken away, becoming "three-nothing" fairies with no jobs, no property, and nothing to do.

Fairies like these can only make noise around Noah's palace. They hope that Noah can come forward and take back everything they have lost.

Because they feel that they have been treated unfairly. Although they are indeed very skilled in taking bribes, these skills are not innate to them but are learned from humans.

Compared to human officials, fairies feel that they are much better. Although they accept bribes, they really do their job after receiving the money. Moreover, they will not oppress civilians or seize the property of the lower classes.

The fairies' not-so-clean style of soliciting bribes is limited to the middle and upper levels. As for the lower levels, their reputation is surprisingly good.

Many children regard fairies in the city as angels, because fairies are not bad in nature, and when they are in a good mood, they will support and help the weak.

"Your Highness, are their voices disturbing you? I will give the order immediately to forbid any discussion of topics related to the capital."

The dragon fairy Sifrea, who served Noah, noticed the noisy noises of the fairies below the cloud platform, which seemed to disturb Noah who was basking in the sun, and she took the initiative to make a suggestion.

"That's not necessary. If you can't even express your feelings verbally, that would be too harsh. I'm not a tyrant."

Noah spoke out to stop him, and then a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

"Besides, the unemployment rate among fairies is really too high right now. They have nothing to do, so when they get together they naturally talk about everything. As the clan leader, I do have the obligation to solve this problem."

"But didn't you say you wouldn't interfere in the kingdom's affairs?"

Shivreya was confused.

"It's just to increase the employment rate. I don't need to interfere in the kingdom's political affairs. I can also arrange for all the fairies to go there. My territory is not small."

Noah plans to expand the production capacity of his golem workshop, not only golems, but now he can also get involved in the field of potion production. Anyway, he has enough goblins under his command now.

If that's not enough, you can also form a fairy guard, recruit fairies who are interested in combat and driving and have talent, and then equip all of these fairies with steel golems.

"Your Highness is wise!"

Sifrea praised dryly. Noah looked at the dragon fairy who served him most of the time and couldn't help laughing.
"Haha, you don't look like you think I'm wise. Just say whatever you want to say. Don't hold it in. You've served me for so many years and have been with me until now. Don't you know my temper?"

"Your Highness, the Augustus family's attitude towards you has changed so obviously. Why don't you respond at all, but instead give in again and again?"

Although Sifrea had not been involved in political affairs for a long time, she was very aware of the changes in the outside world, and recent events had also stirred her emotions. So when Noah allowed her to ask, she vented all the questions that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time.

"What do you mean by giving in again and again? Didn't you speak up for the fairies who were dismissed from their posts and exiled because of corruption and bribery?"

Noah asked back. "They are indeed guilty, but the Augustus family's intention to target you is too obvious."

Sifrea expressed her confusion and incomprehension. She didn't understand why the attitude of the Augustus family had changed like this, nor did she understand why the patriarch was so calm.

This was clearly a provocation. Based on her understanding of this distinguished prince, he should not have such an attitude. Everything that happened now was beyond her expectations, making her feel a little lost and confused.

"You have all admitted your guilt, what else can I say?"

Jin Long responded lazily.

The fairies may have some minor flaws and shortcomings, and some of them may even have bad personalities. But what makes Noah very happy is that all the fairies under his command can afford to lose.

He admits his mistakes when he is wrong and stands at attention when he is beaten. Although he looks very embarrassed when being investigated for corruption, he will not engage in meaningless arguments about what he has done and will retain the most basic dignity for himself.

"As for the attitude of the Augustus family, it is not targeted, it is just to take back power."

Noah knew very well what Urnos wanted to do, since he was the student he had taught.

"This is what a qualified king should do. What kind of king is he if he can't hold power in his hands?"

Because of Teddel's connivance, nearly two-thirds of the important positions in the royal capital Uther are controlled by the goblins. And not only in the royal capital, but also in various parts of the kingdom, in the lands controlled by the Augustus family, nearly half of the administrative positions are directly or indirectly controlled by the goblins.

Perhaps the fairies only have the most basic shortcoming as officials, which is corruption and bribery, and their governing ability is basically above average, but there are too many of them in the kingdom's administrative system.

There are so many of them that it is hard to find a second group that can compete with them. It can be said that in the kingdom’s current administrative system, except for the goblins, all the officials combined are not enough to defeat the goblins.

What's worse is that the system within the goblins is well-ordered from top to bottom. There is no possibility of any division or winning over, because they all have a common identity - followers of the Holy Dragon Noah.

Let me ask you, if there is such a ruling race in the country, except for a weirdo like Taidel who can leave it alone and use the royal power to allow it to continue to grow, which king with a normal mind would ignore its existence?

This ruling race spread across the country can be influenced and manipulated by the same will. They will even ignore the orders of the monarch and obey the instructions of this will.

Whose country is this? Whose throne is this?

Although Noah had no idea, in fact, if he wanted, he could become the uncrowned king of Atlas with the help of the fairies that were almost everywhere in the kingdom.

Put yourself in their shoes and think about it. It would be strange if the new king did not take action against the goblins. Not to mention Urnos who is ambitious and wants to show his power, even a mediocre king would try it.

"The king will probably have several rounds of screening and cleaning. All fairies that fail the screening will be sent to me. As for fairies that pass the screening, they can stay in their original positions.

Most of the goblins will be eliminated, but there will definitely be a small number of goblins left, and maybe they can be promoted. However, the final result is probably that the influence and scale of the goblins will be less than one-tenth of what it was in the era of Tedder."

Noah could predict the final outcome of the anti-corruption campaign. When the number of goblins dropped to a level where the new king would feel safe, could be perfectly controlled, and would not pose a threat to him, the purge would stop.

"Your Highness, you think about Urnos from the perspective of the capital, but Urnos has never considered your face from your perspective!"

Sifrea understood why the fairies were dismissed in large numbers, but even if she understood it, it didn't mean she could accept it or forgive it.

Because this would actually damage the interests of the fairy group and trample on the dignity of the great master in front of them.

Therefore, the dragon fairy no longer had any respect for Urnos in his words, and even called him by his name, which seemed very impolite.

Because now the speculation and debate about whether the Augustus family and the Holy Dragon Noah will split and move towards opposition are not just limited to the fairy group. They are also being discussed in Elisim, in the royal capital Uther, and in private places where major legendary families and nobles gather.

The Kingdom of Atlas is known as the Kingdom of Metal Dragons. The image of the Holy Dragon Noah is the symbol of the royal family of Augustus. If the royal family and the dragon family split and become antagonistic, I don't know how many people will celebrate and be encouraged.

Because as a royal family, a large part of Augustus's deterrent power comes from the dragon clan.

"Shivreya, you are good in every way, except that you are a little impatient."

Seeing the dragon fairy beside him speaking up for him, Noah made comments with interest with a smile in his eyes. Then he looked up in the direction of the capital Uther, and a light flashed in the air.

"Look, the face you want is here!"

Sifrea also looked in the direction Noah pointed, and then she felt the fluctuation of the super-large teleportation array. A team with heavy armor and magnificent momentum appeared outside the city of Elishim.

The roar of flying dragons and the neighing of griffins, Sifrea also saw the figure of horned hippogryph among them, and the fluttering holy dragon flag was enough to explain the origin of this team.

"What does the Augustus family want to do?"

"Maybe he came to give me face."

Noah saw this team that did not use conventional teleportation but chose to use a one-time teleportation array to cross thousands of miles. After a quick look, he had a rough idea in his mind.
"I taught you all this, but I didn't expect you to use me as a test run. Really..."

The Golden Dragon sighed, but Sifrea remained focused. After all, she and Elphinor were good sisters, and the other party had been treated so unfairly in the royal capital.

Naturally, she had some opinions about the leader of the Augustus family, and she was not very happy about this team that came with the Holy Dragon flag.

"Don't look at it, go and greet them. The king deliberately made such a big noise, we should cooperate."

"What do they want?"

"Didn't you say they damaged my reputation? Now of course they have to make it up to me."
