"Every student sitting here is because they have mastered the magical power of a certain direction when they are promoted. It may not be accurate to use the word 'mastery', as you are in the cognitive stage, and perhaps it is more appropriate to use 'awakening'. ”

"And the reason why I'm sitting here is to help my classmates complete the process of moving from awakening to mastery of magical power. ”

"Life is full of so many possibilities......"

Ygrete had obviously prepared for the class, and was sitting on the podium at the moment and speaking in a good manner, telling all kinds of advanced and simple magical knowledge, but the fairy body was a little petite.

Thor leaned against the door of the magic classroom with his hands folded, watching as Ygrit showed no stage fright, and finally put his mind at ease.

A small mushroom couldn't help but look from the podium, as if looking for some kind of encouragement or affirmation.

Thor smiled and nodded, then stuck out his tongue and licked it around his mouth.

"Uh...... This one...... Let's move on...... This one. Seeing Thor's bad appearance, Ygrit's smooth narration suddenly stumbled, and she could only blush and lower her head, and her sullen appearance looked cute.

You can't tease the simple little shiitake mushroom anymore, otherwise it won't be good to disturb the classroom discipline, and Thor left the magic classroom with a smile.

Arriving at the exchange point for coins and feats, Beth was sorting through some transaction records. The three redemption windows all have female staff in the territory busy, and Beth is a little more relaxed than before, usually only responsible for things like regulatory coordination.

"Ahh

In the midst of a roomful of greetings and sights, Thor gently wrapped his arms around Beth's waist and pulled out a ring.

"I got a set of jewelry yesterday. Seeing the ring in Thor's palm, Beth was a little puzzled.

"No, it's no ordinary piece of jewelry. It's a spatial ring, just like mine, but maybe it's a little less storage. You take it with you, imprint your spiritual power, and you can use it in the future. Thor whispered softly in Beth's ear.

"It's not okay, it's too important...... , maybe Petty and Ygritte are more useful. Beth hurriedly waved her hand.

"Big fart, ten rings aren't as good as a hair of yours. Thor put his head on Beth's shoulder, rubbed her face, then grabbed her little hand and lowered his head to help her put the ring on her slender finger.

"Huh, have you forgotten something?" Thor grimaced as he looked at Beth, who was only interested in being moved.

Beth blushed and put her arms around Thor's neck and offered a sweet kiss as she smiled as she looked around.

"I ...... So happy!" Ando clasped his hands to his chest, his eyes shining.

Just looking around and watching you be happy? Thor was amused.

Rubbing Andor's little head, she usually followed Beth's side, and Fenki was sent to follow Petty's side.

Originally, Thor was going to help Ygrit arrange a little maid to take care of her life. But Ygrete shook her head desperately, claiming that she didn't need it, and that it would be very unaccustomed to someone following her, and in the end Thor didn't force it.

Leaving the exchange point, the sky outside the house was still snowy, and now it was the tail of winter, and the wind and snow of the last few days.

After solving the problem of spells and mentors, Thor became the lord of the ubiquitous world again.

Of course, ubiquity is now just a joke.

After all, compared to the original small settlement, the area of Liberty City has expanded several times, and it takes a lot of time to walk around the entire territory alone. And the population has also grown from more than 100 people at the beginning to nearly 3,000 now.

When there were more than 100 people, Thor could roughly call out the names of everyone in the territory, knowing the area they were responsible for and what they were doing. Nowadays it is obviously impossible, too many strange faces appear here to seek a stable life.

Some of these people came from far away where life was difficult, some followed the caravans, and some even came to settle in the merchants themselves.

When the number of people exceeds 10,000 in the future, and the city of freedom can really be called a 'city', then the people under his command will become even more unfamiliar.

In fact, not only Saul, but even Stadt and Diller, who often show their faces in front of the people, and Beth Petty, several of their management, are gradually fading out of the field of vision of the new leaders at the bottom.

The expansion of the population, the greed and darkness of all kinds of people's hearts have gradually begun to be exposed, and the pressure on law and order is constantly increasing. These are all normal, as long as the army and the force are seized, the suppression of the repression, the sweep of the sweep, the situation will be stabilized.

Of course, while exercising force, there must also be a set of management systems that are relatively fair and able to convince the public. Those that have been prepared in the past are nothing more than improvements in the future according to the current state of development.

The distribution point has been closed because the thriving market has replaced trade.

In the future, the territory will no longer carry out construction merits, only combat merits will be retained to boost morale, and the recruitment of various construction personnel in the territory in normal times and the final payment of wages have also returned to the way of cash distribution.

Nowadays, the funds required for the construction and maintenance of the territory are no longer needed to be borne by Thor, otherwise with the continuous increase in the size and population of the territory, Thor will not be able to play with the amount of money he has.

At present, the majority of the territory's income is still taxes and mining, and during the time when the tax was asleep in Thor's rank, Beth imposed a tax amount of 10% in the territory. Later, after the business and market stabilized, the quota was now raised to 20%.

Territory taxes have always been in Beth's charge, and compared to other territories, those taxes of fifty or sixty percent at every turn are not even a burden on the common people, which is the fundamental reason why Free City is called a 'Promised Land'.

However, this amount is only for the ordinary people in the territory, and there is another tax system on the commercial side, which Scott is in charge of.

Mining is a vast and long-term resource, some time ago led by the blacksmith Jeff to form a blacksmith union, together with the territory of the stonemasons, carpenters, leathermen, etc., together with the industry.

Jeff's minting department is attached to the military department, and each new batch of coins is used to fill the funding gap in all aspects of the territory.

The person currently in charge of industry is a middle-aged man named Sid.

Reliable and pragmatic, Thor had met him and his family at a feast in the Lord's Palace.

Nowadays, the management of all aspects of the territory is mainly to adopt the tower-like management from point to area, and then from the spread of the larger area.

Generally speaking, the territory has been making money at present, and after all aspects are settled every month, a lot of funds will still be sent to Beth.

It's a pity that Thor still feels that everything is too slow, the current population of 3,000 in the territory, even if it doubles by a hundredfold, it can't catch up with the scale of Odrenza, and the confrontation and maneuvering with the Dark Council is naturally impossible, in fact, Thor has rarely thought about those aspects.

Of course, there is no way to do this, the development of the territory needs a large number of people, and the population needs a lot of food to support, and food needs more arable land, and finally in turn has to invest more manpower.

This is like a cycle formed by the connection of various key points, which is developing steadily, but also restricting its own development speed. One of these points is too far ahead of the curve, and it will only lead to the collapse of the situation.

The development of the world has its own logic and process, no matter how big your ideals are, you also need a stage to display, no matter how many ideas you have, you also need process and time, and forcibly speeding up will only destroy the car in the end.

It was already clear to Thor when he faced the behemoth of the Dark Council at the beginning.

To bring down an ancient and profound power, you can either enter the other party's system and become a part of it, and find a way to corrupt and split from within. Either pull up a force by yourself and have the strength to wrestle with the other party.

Thor seems to have chosen the latter, but in fact, he has always been clear that neither path will work. The management and heritage of countless generations of others, if you want to rely on the efforts of only one generation to chase and surpass, it is obviously unrealistic.

At first, the construction of the territory of Thor was not to earn money or power, but to be able to have a certain amount of power on the continent to make his voice heard, and this power undoubtedly came from the force of the territory.

Today, the 'Scarlet Cross' in the Free City may be called a force, and it may be useful to deter the surrounding territories, but it is still too weak to scale up to the entire continent.

Speaking of which, Thor began to feel a little bored.

He was a liberal through and through, and the struggle for power was never his main theme in life. If he just wants to amass wealth or pull up a team that is like a finger, even if he doesn't have territory as a backrest, he can do it.

The many miscellaneous things in the current territory have pulled too much of his energy, and if he really wants to compare, he misses the days of fishing and wielding his sword more in the past, but it is a pity that he has complicated his life by himself.

Of course, the construction of the territory is not meaningless to this day, at least I and the mushrooms have a home.

Thor plans to wait until the population of Free City exceeds 10,000, and then build a city hall.

Then give up your lordship position, and then take back all your own mushrooms, and everyone walk around to see if it's not good to travel on the mainland? Why do you have to live so tired and do something?

But Saul suspects that he may not see a good day.

Now that the City of Liberty has taken root here, the main city of the North, Arlantys, will definitely not let the City of Liberty grow, or even if they let it go, it will take many, many years for the City of Liberty to become bigger, and this is only in terms of the situation on the mainland.

Thor knew very well that he and the Dark Council were not settled, and he might not be able to settle this life, after all, he had sent the children and grandchildren favored by the two or three elders to the gods.

It's been a year since Odrenna's havoc, and Thor can't figure out whether those old guys are watching or waiting for something, waiting for themselves to die of old age?

So Thor suspects that they may be brewing some kind of nirvana, and when the time comes, the killing machine will naturally emerge.

As for whether you can pass that level, it is difficult to say.

Remember the permanent address of the Children of the Old Day
