At that time, the most lucrative industry in Avalon was still maritime transport, for there was really nothing of note produced on the mainland. The most valuable turned out to be Gryphon eggs—even though stealing gryphon eggs was a capital offense punishable by death, there were still people smuggling them to Goblin Merchants.
Those who had access to Gryphons were at least mid-level leaders.
There were also poachers with Extraordinary Professions, hunting down Transcendent animals in the wild and selling their materials, which directly led to the extinction of many of Avalon's Transcendent animals. And yet, such risky and illegal professions were extolled by children as "heroes" and "adventurers," sung about by the people, and many parents considered them a decent way out.
—This was a clear sign that Avalon's economy had completely collapsed.
It was precisely because the whole of Avalon had plunged into chaos and sin that Tudor III became known as "The Execution King."
