"Wise Emperor, I completely agree with you. ”

Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "The coercive method is just inferior, but we can lure it." ”

After coughing, Bai Xiaowen said: "Those masters are basically not bad for money, and ordinary money is not very attractive to them. However, I still have one more thing that I can get my hands on...... Title. ”

"If the masters of the Imperial Capital are willing to come to White Rock City and teach the top skills of various industries, I am willing to give them the Northern Lands as a private domain. Every successful master will receive a title starting with a viscount...... I guess it's very attractive. ”

"Viscount of real power?" Nicholas IV's thick brow furrowed slightly.

The real power aristocracy must have its own fief, which is the biggest difference from the fictitious nobility.

However, the division of the new nobles with real power means dividing their own land and weakening their own power. Therefore, neither the royal family nor the big nobles are willing to do this.

Bai Xiaowen replied with a smile: "I have this plan, but I need to ask for His Majesty's consent." ”

This in turn involves the new political decree of the empire, the old nobles have the right to split their fiefs and divide the new nobles with real power, but the new nobles cannot. Many of the powers of the new nobility were taken back by the Empire, and the power of the first night was only one of the insignificant.

The new reform policy of the empire was to change the original feudal empire into a centralized empire, and it is no wonder that the old nobles of Xisha Province opposed it.

Therefore, Bai Xiaowen wants to divide the land of the Northland to others, which requires the consent of Nicholas IV to take effect.

Nicholas IV nodded slightly and said: "Titles and fiefs do look very attractive, and they may really attract masters from all walks of life." ”

Nicholas used the word "maybe" because the conditions in the Northland were so treacherous, the fiefdoms were full of poor mountains and bad water where birds don't, and a group of zombies...... Whether it will be able to lure the masters to join is really unknown. If it is changed to the fiefdom of the central province, the certainty will be much greater.

Bai Xiaowen then said: "I don't require the masters to live in the Northland, after they arrive in White Rock City, they can recruit apprentices while working. After the first apprentices were released, they were given their rightful fiefs and titles, and then returned to the imperial capital to enjoy the life of high society as nobles. ”

Nicholas was slightly surprised, and then nodded: "In this way, the conditions are very favorable." ”

It only takes a few years to bring a group of apprentices out of the school. After a few years of hardship, even the top masters in various industries will be tempted.

"Your Majesty has agreed to my plan?" Bai Xiaowen said.

"I have no reason to refuse. Nicholas replied.

"Your Majesty is wise. ”

Bai Xiaowen originally prepared the rhetoric, so he didn't have to take it out. It seems that Nicholas also saw the importance of the Northland.

The old-fashioned aristocracy has been destroyed, the Drow Elven Empire has been blocked, and there is only one plague lord left, who wants to attack the surface world, where can they go?

The underground passage of the B'revi Gold Mine has been sealed, and they can only take the old way - the Northlands, the territory of the remnants!

At that time, the province of the Northland will inevitably become the front line of the confrontation between the two forces, and at this time, the strength of the Northland will be strengthened, which Emperor Nicholas IV is happy to see.

What's more, Nicholas IV still has a lot to borrow from Bai Xiaowen, not to mention anything else, this batch of plague buster medicines is very urgent.

"Now, we need to think about the next big question...... What to do with the drow elven legions infected with the necromantic plague. Bai Xiaowen said.

"These underground monsters have become the source of the plague and should be eradicated. "I have ordered the Imperial Legions to surround the castle of Besuvius. They must not be allowed to spread the plague virus unchecked!"

Bai Xiaowen smiled: "I think I can talk to the master mother of the Drow Elf." ”

......

Beausuville Castle, currently in a semi-ruined state.

The Necromantic Plague itself does not destroy the building, but the Awoken of the Divine Court deliberately created an explosion barrel to ensure that the plague virus spreads throughout the field in the shortest possible time - the powerful impact of the explosion makes the century-old castle crumble.

The current castle of Besuvius is occupied by the Drow elves.

Cynthia, the Drow Spirit's mother, fled the castle area as soon as the explosion began, but then discovered that the explosion had quickly stopped, and the green mist had spread throughout the city.

For this green mist, Cynthia's housewife said that she was no stranger.

Necromantic plague virus in the Plague Territory.

As both underground forces, the Drow Elven Empire has dealt with the Plague Territory many times, and the famous Necromantic Plague is of course clear - after all, the Drow Elves are also living beings, and they are also affected by the Necromantic Plague. If there were no precautions against this virus, the Drow Elven Empire would have been swallowed up by the Lord of the Plague.

After confirming her safety, Mistress Cynthia began to worry about her army.

This army is the strongest force of the Cynthia Mistress and the foundation from which she has been able to control the Knosolis clan. The importance is undeniable.

Now that her life was no longer at stake, the Cynthia mistress naturally rushed back to the castle area to redirect the battle.

The Drow Elven Legion originally had an advantage in terms of strength, and the return of Cynthia's mother quickly stabilized the morale of the army. And the other human miscellaneous soldiers, of course, couldn't resist and were killed one after another.

Eventually, the drows took control of the crumbling castle, made minor repairs, and settled down temporarily.

Then he began to use the old method - arachnoid elf toxin injection, to fight poison with poison and expel the necromantic plague virus.

However, the results were far from ideal - no matter how hard the drow elves tried, the old methods did not work, and the spider toxin could only barely suppress the spread of the plague virus, but it could not completely eliminate it.

Cynthia's mother panicked.

She finally had a question in mind.

......

"Ms. Cynthia, you should have thought of it a long time ago," Bai Xiaowen, who was sitting on the back of his chair in a lazy posture, said sarcastically, "The Lord of the Plague has long known that the Drow Elves have the means to fight the necromantic plague. It actually chose to use the necromantic plague to plot against you, of course, with full confidence. ”

This confidence comes from the strengthening of the Necromantic Plague virus...... Or rather, improvement. Bai Xiaowen finished with one sentence.

There was no joy or anger on Cynthia's house's face, and she said coldly: "Arrogant man, if it was underground, your attitude would have been fed to spiders a long time ago." ”

"I need to remind you, don't take the example of the Drow Elves who are inferior to women, I'm a human being," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "Take me to feed the spiders, aren't you afraid of the destruction of the Knosolis clan?"
