Chapter 553: Chapter 508: Ether Dragon (4K)

The train wound its way through mountains and lakes on winding tracks, its carriages full of coal, minerals, timber, and, of course, the most important Extraordinary materials.

The locomotive spewed dense white smoke and, accompanied by the rhythmic clack of the rails, it slowly passed golden wheat fields and lush forests.

Between the carriages, the soldiers of the Seven Suns Empire busily inspected each car’s cargo, ensuring their safe and intact arrival at the destination.

In the spacious and bright meeting room of Nasir City’s government building, officials sat around a large table discussing the latest business plans, with various relevant documents and reports spread out before them—market analyses and risk assessments they had meticulously prepared.

“The situation has changed,” said Colin, dressed in exquisite black attire, his manner elegant and his eyes revealing a firm belief in the future.

“Next, we’ll be doing business with the Seven Suns Empire people. In fact, their situation is somewhat similar to ours; both of us are under economic blockade by the Lorne Empire.”

“Actually, the situation was quite bad some time ago. We lost not only the Lorne citizens’ market and aid, but also the economic links in the various regions broke down.”

Today, Colin had become the Finance Minister of Cyart, wielding significant power, one of the Noble Blood, and no one present dared to disrespect him.

“Although cooperation with the Seven Suns Empire people will not restore our economy to the rapid development of the past, it at least helps us through difficult times… In fact, if the Seven Suns Empire people did not cooperate with us, there might be a possibility of our internal economy in Cyart bursting, because over the years, with the help of the Lorne citizens, we had spread our plans too thin and would not be able to complete them on our own if their aid and trade were cut off in the short term.”

“At least economically, it’s good that we have the Seven Suns Empire people, but it’s unclear whether this trade is really beneficial to Cyart and the Dawn Church at the higher levels of domain.”

The train of the Seven Suns Empire people slowly entered the newly expanded train station of Nasir City, now an important hub connecting the inland with the sea. Among the unloaded goods were various raw materials urgently needed by the Fischer family, including those Extraordinary materials.

People of the Fischer family had already been waiting at the station for a long time, engaging in pleasant conversation with the soldiers of the Seven Suns Empire.

As the cooperation deepened, the Fischer family used these raw materials to produce exquisite goods, acting as subcontractors for the Seven Suns Empire people, whose labor force was still cheaper than that of the Eastern Four Kingdoms.

The Seven Suns Empire people continued to use trains to transport more resources, providing the Fischer family with ongoing support.
