Chapter 307: Chapter 201 - I Taught All This_2

Noah plans to further expand the production capacity of his golem workshop. Not only golems, but now also the field of magic potion production, as he has enough fairies under his command.

If it’s still not enough, he can form a fairy guard army, recruiting fairies interested in combat and driving with talent, and equipping them all with steel golems.

"Your Highness is wise!"

Sifreya praised dryly, while Noah looked at this dragon elf who served him most of the time, and couldn’t help but laugh,

"Hehe, you don’t really seem like you think I’m wise. If you have something to say, just say it. No need to hold back. You’ve served me for so many years, followed me until now. Don’t you know my temper yet?"

"Your Highness, why haven’t you responded at all to the Augustus family’s obvious change in attitude towards you and instead kept giving ground?"

Although Sifreya hadn’t been involved in politics for a long time, she was well aware of external changes, and recent events had also stirred her emotions. So when Noah allowed her to speak, she poured out the questions she had been suppressing for a long time.

"Giving ground repeatedly, do you mean not speaking for those fairies who were dismissed and exiled back for reasons such as corruption and bribery?"

Noah asked in return.

"They are indeed guilty, but the Augustus family’s intent against you is too obvious."

Sifreya expressed her confusion and lack of understanding. She didn’t understand why the Augustus family’s attitude had changed so drastically, nor did she understand why the sect master seemed so calm.

This was clearly a provocation. Based on her understanding of this noble highness, this should not be his attitude. Everything happening now was beyond her expectations, making her feel lost and confused.

"You’ve all admitted guilt, what else is there for me to say."

The Golden Dragon lazily responded.

Perhaps the fairies had this or that little flaw and minor defect. Some had character traits that could even be considered nasty. But Noah was very pleased that all the fairies under his command could afford to lose.

They acknowledged their mistakes, accepted punishment obediently, and although the anti-corruption investigation made them look very embarrassed, they didn’t engage in pointless arguments about their past actions and remained with a basic level of decency.

"As for the Augustus family’s attitude, it’s not an attack, just a retraction of power."

Noah knew clearly what Uranos wanted to do, after all, this was his student,

"This is what a qualified monarch should do. If a monarch can’t hold power in his hands, what kind of king is he?"

Due to Tidel’s indulgence, nearly two-thirds of important positions in the Royal Capital Uther, from top to bottom, were controlled by fairies. This wasn’t just in the capital, but in lands throughout the kingdom where the Augustus family could exert control, with nearly half of administrative positions directly or indirectly controlled by fairies.

Perhaps the fairies only possessed the basic flaws of an officer, such as corruption and bribery, and their governing ability was generally above average. But their presence in the kingdom’s administrative system was overwhelming.

So much so that no other group could contend with them. It could be said that in the kingdom’s current administrative system, if not for the fairies, all the other officers combined wouldn’t stand a chance against the fairies.

More worrisome was the internal structure of the fairies, orderly from top to bottom, with no possibility of division or co-option, because they all shared the same identity — Holy Dragon Noah’s favored ones.

In a state where such a governing race exists, apart from someone like Tidel who would allow it to grow uninhibitedly through royal authority, what sensibly minded monarch could ignore its existence?

This nationwide governing race could be influenced and manipulated by a singular will, and they might even ignore the monarch’s orders, following this singular will’s instructions instead.

Whose nation is this? Whose throne is this?

Although Noah had no intentions, the fact remained that if he wished, he could become the uncrowned king of Atlas with the fairies, who were almost everywhere in the kingdom.

Thinking from another’s perspective, if you were in the position of the new king, not making a move against the fairies would be truly strange. Let alone the ambitious Uranos, even an average king would attempt to do so.

"The capital should have several more rounds of review and purge. Any fairy not meeting review standards will be sent to me. Those who can pass the review can stay in their original positions.

Most fairies will be purged, but a small portion will remain, possibly even get promoted. However, the ultimate outcome will likely be that the influence and scale of fairies will be less than one-tenth of what it was during Tidel’s era."

Noah could predict the ultimate result of this anti-corruption effort. When the number of fairies decreases to a level that the new king feels safe, perfectly controlled, and without threat, this cleansing will stop.

"Your Highness, you stand in the position of the capital to consider Uranos’s issues, yet Uranos hasn’t considered your dignity!"

Sifreya understood the reasons for the massive dismissal of fairies, but understanding did not mean acceptance or forgiveness.

Because this indeed harmed the interests of the fairies as a group and trampled on the dignity of the grand sect master standing before her.

Therefore, in her words, there was no respect for Uranos, as she called his name unceremoniously.

Debates and speculations about whether the Augustus family and Holy Dragon Noah were splitting and heading toward opposition were not only among the fairies but also prevalent in Elisium, in the Royal Capital Usser, and in private gatherings of major legendary families and grandees.

Atlas Kingdom is known as the land of the metal dragons, with the image of Holy Dragon Noah as the symbol of the royal Augustus family. If the royal family and Dragon Clan split and head toward opposition, there would be many celebrating such an event.

Because much of the Augustus family’s deterrent power as the royal family comes from the Dragon Clan.

"Sifreya, you’re great in every way, except you’re a bit impatient."

Seeing this dragon elf stand up for him, Noah made a smiling and intriguing comment. Then he looked up towards the direction of the Royal Capital Usser, a spark of spirit light flickered in the air,

"Look, there’s the dignity you wanted!"

Sifreya, following Noah’s direction, looked over and then felt the fluctuations of the super large teleportation array, as a majestic armored force appeared outside Elisium City.

The roaring of flying dragons, the shrieking of griffins, and Sifreya even spotted the silhouette of horned eagle beasts, while the flying holy dragon banner clearly indicated the origin of this force.

"What does the Augustus family intend to do?"

"Probably here to give me face."

Seeing this force bypass regular transmission and using a one-time teleportation array to cross miles to get here, Noah had a general understanding after a brief examination,

"This is all taught by me, didn’t expect they’d begin by practicing on me, truly..."

The Golden Dragon expressed a sigh, but Sifreya was attentively vigilant, after all, she was a good sister to Elfino, and the latter had been treated unfairly in the capital.

She naturally had opinions about the head of the Augustus family, and wasn’t showing much favor to this force bearing the holy dragon banner.

"Don’t look, go and greet them. The capital made such a scene deliberately, so we ought to cooperate a bit."

"What do they intend to do?"

"Did you not say they disrespected my dignity? Now naturally they’re here to make it up to me."
