Chapter 440: Chapter 86 Dragon Covenant

The Frost Kingdom, Arendelle.

The cloud of war had gone, and the prosperous city had gradually recovered its vitality. Although the legend of the pirate king Soran would spread in the taverns–people constantly guessing the relationship between the legendary pirate king and Princess Anna–people had gradually become accustomed to some changes in life. For example, some chambers of commerce that had recently come out of the port could buy many special products in the south of the mainland, and also luxury goods from the east.

The merchants had been eager to get access to this new trading route, the eastern sea route; they needed to pay the pirate king Soran.

The lucrative trade route was very attractive to the merchants.

Recently, there has been a saying that the legendary pirate king had established a maritime kingdom. He ruled a large area of the sea and made his own rules in the sea. With more and more knowledge of the south coast, many merchants who went to the south for the first time agreed with this sentiment. The reason was that they could reach the south coast safely by buying the pass issued by the pirate king’s cabinet could they reach the south coast safely, and there were even pirate ships on the sea to escort their merchant ships.

This surely was something that was hard to come by!

However, if ships did not have a pass with them, then their ships would be robbed clean.

That was how tough Soran was!

The key to everything was only with how much. If Soran took 50% of their profits, then the merchants would definitely complain. But if he left 50% of the profits to the merchants and ensured their safety, then the merchants would gradually get used to it after the initial stage. As a matter of fact, people’s adaptability was quite fast. Recently, even merchants on other routes were going to get the pass, so that they could ask Soran’s fleet to escort them until they left the Vrykul’s territory.

The Vrykul pirates had it bad recently!

It was said that there were two very capable pirate leaders that came from the south, and all their men were good at fighting. They fought the Vrykul for two days and had no clear winner.

The rules on the sea changed little by little; those that couldn’t get used to them were eliminated.

Chaos was a disaster.

Thus even the Lawful Evil would make society flourish.

Soran’s exploitation did not destroy the merchant’s enthusiasm. After a lot of careful calculation, some merchants were surprised to find that they still had a lot of profit, and their safety was guaranteed. The war in the south spreading little by little, but the Frost Kingdom was still relatively peaceful. Many goods sold well after they were transported, especially food. A ship of grain could make twice the profit and sell out as soon as it arrived at the port. (Note: the price of grain had doubled.)

Today was a different day for Arendelle.

Today, a blue door opened on top of the skies of Arendelle, and the mighty elder princess appeared.

She stood in the air and looked down at the city in front of her. Her bright blue long skirt danced with the wind. The sun shone down from the back of the elder princess, making her look like a goddess in the dawn. All the people who saw her could not help cheering. Many people gathered in the street and knelt down humbly towards the figure. Just for a moment, the whole Arendelle stood still. When the figure of the elder princess appeared, the Frost Kingdom seemed to be full of life and vitality.

The elder princess was finally back!

Arendelle’s safe.

In this nation, they believed that if the elder princess was around, they would be safe.

“Finally, she’s back!…”

The elder princess stood in the sky. She watched the cheering subjects below. Then she looked behind the bright blue gate. It was a strange silvery-white stream just like the spread of smoke and clouds. It was somewhere in the astral plane. The elder princess let out a sigh, then waved gently. A long ladder made of ice and snow appeared under her feet. She then walked toward the palace, step by step.

As she walked, the whole Arendelle started snowing.

“Sister!”

Princess Anna’s figure had long been waiting in front of the palace. When she saw her elder sister, the stressed princess Anna could help but become teary as she rushed to her sister.

Princess Anna finally burst into tears. When she finally saw her elder sister, she could not control her emotions anymore.

At the palace, the elder palace witch and the guard captain looked at each other and let out a breath of relief. As for the others in the palace, they all seemed to be more encouraged after seeing the elder princess. To Arendelle, the elder princess was really someone different; more powerful and capable than any other ruler in the realm.

Soran, of course, didn’t know about the return of the elder princess.

In fact, he had another headache; how to completely save the psionic warlock. Sisi, who wanted to join him for adventures, was going to leave.

It was very strange. Everything had happened too suddenly, and Soran was not prepared for it. The little Lolita only told him that she would leave.

Fine.

He couldn’t expect too much from a dragon.

“You really leaving?”

Soran looked at the little Lolita and asked, “If you leave now, I can’t send you back! Then you’ll have to leave the Underdark by yourself.”

The little Lolita was not sure, but then nodded and said, “No need. I’ll teleport back.”
