Chapter 591: CCVIII. Duel of Life and Death of Swordmasters
Thinking carefully, it’s been several months since leaving Golden Palm Port, and I’ve been in the heart of Mulong for too long, even seeing Golden Palm Port feels extremely prosperous.
The Kelor Highlands cut off the humid Narrow Sea monsoon, causing the inland vegetation coverage to be not very high.
In contrast, Golden Palm Port remains lush and green, being one of the major ports in the Narrow Sea Golden Waters.
Due to Mulong being caught in chaos, almost all commercial trade activities are halted, making the docks appear sparse.
Local residents, due to the war, have greatly reduced their consumption levels. Though they are also Mulong people, aside from workers from the inland, not a single person has returned to support the Mulong war efforts, their sense of identity is just different.
On the surface, Golden Palm Port belongs to Mulong, but in reality, it rules its own territory and listens to directions rather than orders.
What Su Yizhana doesn’t know is that the Rebellious Marquis and the old king have close ties, and many laws in Golden Palm Port are different from inland, with the primary circulating currency not being Mulong’s currency, but the Golden Dragon.
The old king acknowledges the half-free status of the Rebellious Marquis, but the condition is the Rebellious Marquis must pour out Gold Coins, weighing his own worth, money, paper, giving them out.
That’s why when the puppet government supported by Aran arises, the Rebellious Marquis feels awkward, then what position should Golden Palm Port be in?
It’s better to believe in Uborio’s strength, the Aran Army is like a Dragon, can’t suppress things not agreed upon, once they have the thought of eating you, eating the flesh isn’t enough, they have to dig out the heart and lungs to fry up some mixed stuff, absolutely can’t be this way. Uborio is a madman of restoration, like the old king doing business, letting him taste the flavor, letting family eat first.
This was originally decided, the Rebellious Marquis has been helping Uborio all along, both openly and secretly sending funds.
