In the endless space, there are monsters with fangs and claws up and down, and any one of them is as powerful as Fisna! Yingluo was swallowed up by the sea of monsters, and she rose and fell with the waves, as if her consciousness had melted, and even she herself was about to become a member of the monsters.

Suddenly, gravity that had been lost for a long time pulled her into the depths of the ocean, and she fell from the top of a huge dark space, falling heavily to the ground without a trace of pain. The space seemed to be a huge cave, with only a few candles providing a faint light source, and a man sitting motionless on a stone throne could be seen in front of him, firmly wrapped in huge chains.

Who are you?

But the man didn't answer, so Yingluo stepped forward to get closer. But the man stood up suddenly, and the chains wrapped around the other party's body snapped like papier-mâché. A slender hand grabbed Yingluo's neck tightly, and no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't get rid of it.

It's not time yet, and this world still has a meaning to exist!

In the next second, the other party's right hand plunged into Yingluo's chest and pierced her heart fiercely. Blood spurted from her mouth and nose, and severe pain reached her brain, Yingluo's eyes widened, and she looked at the big hole in her chest in disbelief, as if her physical strength and spirit had slipped away from that gap, and endless exhaustion overwhelmed her.

It's not time yet, so go back to sleep...... This was the last voice Yingluo heard.

……

When Denisha and the others arrived, they saw the lord of the castle sitting at the table and gobbling up.

Yingluo swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty, and said to everyone with a smile: "Have you eaten, do you want to order it together?"

Dinisha sat in a wheelchair and shrugged helplessly: "Well, in terms of this appetite, it should be quite healthy." ”

……

Yingluo only slept for three days, which was not too long. The explanation given by the doctor Lucas after the examination was nothing more than "protective coma caused by overwork", which simply means that he fell asleep when he was tired, and it was okay to leave it alone.

It is said that after hearing this diagnosis, Vincent was directly angry, scolded "quack", picked up the staff and knocked it on Lucas's head, and Lucas did not show weakness, picked up the stethoscope as a meteor hammer and threw it in Vincent's face, the two fought on the spot, and it took a dozen City Guards a lot of effort to separate the two.

Oh, I forgot to mention that these two were friends from childhood to adulthood, but later the friendship cracked because they fell in love with a girl at the same time, and finally Lucas hugged the beauty, and Vincent became a ...... As a sacrifice. In short, these two people who don't deal with the whole Rapoll know that it is not uncommon to fight every once in a while, and everyone has long been accustomed to it.

"Eh, I'm quite interested in what happened back then, can't I say a few more words?" asked Yingluo with a gossipy face.

"Ahem!" Vincent's old face turned red, and he hurriedly said: "My lord, this is a sacred cathedral, and it is also a serious council hall, so I should focus on business, and don't talk about my private affairs." ”

"Looks like our High Priest is shy?okay, okay, you're right, let's get down to business!" Ying Luo was just joking, she looked down, Denisha and the other nine Silver Eye Slayers were on the left, Vincent and Gegu and the others were on the right.

"Speaking of which, what about the losses on the west side of the city?"

Gegu stood up and replied, "Unfortunately, the damage caused by the battle in the past few days was so severe that it can be said that all our previous investment was in vain. And because even the terrain has been drastically changed, the completion time may have been delayed by one to two years if the previous plan had been followed...... Or even longer. ”

"How long is it going to take?" Ying Luo asked strangely, "Is there not enough labor?"

"Labor is not the main problem, the captured bandits still have enough 'potential' to tap, and the delay is mainly due to the serious shortage of building materials. ”

Yingluo raised his eyebrows: "I didn't say enough before, why can't I do it this time?"

"Most of the wood and stone used in the past were stocks that Labaule had accumulated over the years, but now they have run out of stock. ”

"Can't you mine now?"

"Yes, but it will take time, after all, the construction plan in the west of the city is not a small project. ”

"That's why it's going to take so long, right? Yingluo nodded: "It's indeed a problem, so what if you buy building materials directly from the surrounding villages and towns?"

"I'm afraid it's hard. Gegu shook his head and said: "Demons are rampant outside, and small villages and towns will basically not be expanded, and generally will not hoard building materials." Even a little bit is a drop in the bucket for us. ”

Yingluo nodded his chin: "In this way, it's still the time for spring ploughing, and it's not good to order everyone to go to the mountains to cut wood and pick stones, isn't there any other way?"

Gegu hesitated for a moment and said, "If you insist on buying building materials, you can get in touch with other lords, and they may have enough inventory to trade. ”

"That's a good idea!" Ying Luo's eyes lit up.

"Please, please wait a minute. Vincent suddenly jumped out and hurriedly said, "My lord, the funds on Rapolle's books have bottomed out, and they really can't support such a large-scale purchase." ”

"Eh, are we short of money?" Ying Luo looked surprised.

Vincent was about to cry, and he was also desperate when he met a boss who spent money like water, so he could only say with a handful of snot and tears: "It's not very lacking, it's very lacking! Don't you know anything else, don't you know that buying Mulokai and Sapoñe are all white strips?"

The corners of Yingluo's mouth twitched: "Okay, it seems that we are indeed quite short of money, what are our sources of income?"

I'm a god, boss, you always want to get up and ask about business. Vincent was so excited that he began to swing, and said tremblingly: "Now and now, there are three main ways. One is the regular tax, which has increased further as Rapolle's control has expanded, and this money is stable, but slow, and the second is the new business of slaying demons, the addition of the Silvereye Slayer not only ensures the safety of the people, but also brings a lot of income, but this money is very unstable, and we can't expect too much. Speaking of this, Vincent glanced at the warrior opposite, sighed lightly and said, "And recently, the Silver-Eyed Slayer has also reduced the cost of crusading demons in villages and towns many times, which is undoubtedly a huge loss. ”

Luo Anna and the others immediately blushed, and hurriedly retorted: "We exempted them from fees because the people in those villages lived very poorly, and besides, they are also the lords of Rapoll, and if they live well, they will naturally love the city lord even more." ”

I don't know about you yet, a group of guys who lack love but care, they must be grateful to people and they don't know the southeast and northwest, and they don't charge money if their hearts are soft, right! Yingluo rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, it's good for the big sword girls to live well, but on the other hand, it has also created their character of not paying attention to money, you expect a person who doesn't love money to take money seriously, isn't this a joke? It's no wonder that every big sword girl has a man in black behind her butt to collect money, and it seems that the organization didn't suffer this kind of dumb loss at the beginning!

"In short, money is a must, and our fees are already reasonable. Yingluo said to the big sword girls: "If you don't collect money, it will be unfair to those villages and towns that have collected money, so you must not have similar situations in the future, understand?"

"Oh......" The girls replied sullenly, looking reluctant.

"It's really ......" Yingluo said helplessly: "That's it, in the future, you just have to kill the demons, and leave the matter of collecting money to the city guards." Gegu, do you hear that?"

"Yes, I promise to complete the task!" Gegu patted his chest and said, presumably those villagers would not dare to mess with the meaty soldier brother.

"Miser, miser, vampire city lord ......" The big sword girls muttered a few words, and Ying Luo listened to it with a black line. You don't spend money on food and clothing, do you dare to let me raise you to let you work for others for free? Even if you don't make money, at least let me recover the cost!

Damn, if it weren't for the two big men here, Vincent and Gegu, I really want to throw you on the bed and spank you one by one, and give me a good feeling of the pain of buying a bottle of wine and beating the white strip as the lord of the city!

Ying Luo let out a long sigh of exhaustion, waved his hand at Vincent and said, "What, you go on." ”

"Yes!" Vincent saw Yingluo's expression now inexplicably relieved, and couldn't help but smile and said: "The last one is foreign trade, Rapoll is located in the middle of the continent, not only will he take taxes from the caravans that come and go, but he also has products for export, which is also a lot of income." ”

"Rapolle's product?" Yingluo asked curiously, "What is it?"

"There are many, but the most famous is the red wine. ”

"Huh?" Ying Luo looked confused.

Vincent tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "Especially Moulokai Sapoñe is the most famous. Previously, it would be sold all over the continent as a status symbol for the powerful and the wealthy, and could often be sold for sky-high prices in a bottle, and Rabaule has always made a lot of money, accounting for a third of the total income. ”

Yingluo's face jumped: "It was like this before...... And now?"

Vincent overlooked it and whispered, "You like this kind of wine, so naturally you won't take it out anymore." Isn't it all in your private cellar now?"

The corners of Yingluo's mouth twitched: "In other words, I alone drank the income of one of the three Rapolles?"

Vincent nodded, and let out an honest and aggrieved "um".

"No one told me that Mulokai is so expensive...... Yingluo was not good, he sat down on the chair with a dejected look, and said with a sad face: "After a long time, it turns out that I am the biggest loser?"

The big sword girls rolled up their beautiful white eyes, and their whizzing eyes flew wildly, poking the ruined city lord with thousands of holes.
