Thanks to the effect of dispersion and clustering, the former Dragon Group engaged in trade with the many nobles of the Northern Territory in their youth, serving as the tentacles connecting the north-south trade network for the Dragon Group Territory.
The ensuing slave trade opened the doors of trade for both parties. Although the majority of nobles who once cooperated with the Dragon Group have now fallen, annexed and expelled by the Hobis Empire, Karon remains very grateful to those greedy nobles of the past.
If it weren't for the Dragon Group's cooperation with those nobles back then, it would have been very difficult for the Golden Empire to open the sea trade route to the south on its own.
Especially considering the Dragon Empire, deeply feared and resisted by other civilizations.
Fortunately, as trade deepened, many southern nobles have formed economic relations with the Golden Empire that cannot be severed in a short period of time.
