Chapter 453: Chancellor of the Exchequer?
"Hurt you? Just kidding, I met Carl once two years ago, and the guy told me that you had broken through to the Holy Order. Can I hurt you? It's a joke! Go, brother, please drink. After Ai Rui finished speaking, he slapped Lin Xuan again, then put his arm around Lin Xuan's neck and walked into the distance excitedly.
Ai Rui carried Lin Xuan on his back and walked towards the depths of White Tiger City. Eri's loud voice didn't shy away from anything just now. Almost everyone present heard him. The young man beside him actually possessed the strength of the Holy Order, and in the eyes of the common people, the Holy Order was at least supreme and a mysterious existence. But as long as those who have cultivated, they know how terrifying the strength of the Holy Order is. As a viscount, Deka has also been in contact with strong people in ordinary times. A saint-rank powerhouse can kill himself in an instant, and he won't suffer any consequences. Fortunately, Ari said the identity of the other party, otherwise, I am afraid that my life will not be saved this time.
And Miss Sun was even more surprised at this time, Ai Rui was a businessman. It actually has the strength of the late stage of the king rank. Moreover, this young man who just came here looked younger than Eri, and he even had the strength of the Holy Rank, which really made her, a young lady who used to be a small aristocratic family, puzzle her.
And Ai Rui didn't care what others thought at this time, the most important thing at this time was to take Lin Xuan to have a good drink.
"Lin Xuan, I really miss you so much, how many years?" said Ari with emotion as he walked.
"No! I haven't seen it for more than ten years. I really miss it!" Lin Xuan said seriously.
"The last time I saw Wren was eight or nine years ago, and I couldn't stay at home for a while, so I ran away from home and went to his place for a while, and I haven't been in touch since. But you guy is the most mysterious. I have been inquiring for many years and have found out where you are!"
"It's strange if you could find me. The Battle Spirit Hall can't find me. Hehe, look at your current look, you're not afraid of not finding a wife!" Lin Xuan laughed.
As they talked, they came to a huge restaurant. Ari smiled, "Go, go in." ”
As soon as Ari entered, several women walked over. "The young master is back!"
"Shao Yue, you're handsome again!" the other waitress laughed.
"Damn, you people here are so hypocritical!" Lin Xuan said disdainfully.
"It's called honesty. This month, Xiaohong, your salary plus one gold coin!" said Ari with a smile.
"Young Master Xie!"
Lin Xuan was taken to a private room on the first floor by Ari. Ari directly asked the waiter to bring the best wine and food in the restaurant. If you don't get drunk with Lin Xuan, you won't return.
Lin Xuan naturally didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter how much you drink, I'm happy today!"
"Alcohol doesn't do anything to me, it's like water to you. It's just to drink the atmosphere, haha. Tell my brother what you've been up to all these years. Ari asked excitedly.
"It's nothing, Brother Qingfeng has organized a mercenary group, and more than a dozen of us will travel around the continent together, and we will be at ease!" Lin Xuan smiled.
"It's so fun, I really want to leave this mess and go out with you!" said Ari with a smile.
"Hehe, aren't you also very carefree, hoeing the strong and helping the weak, and treating you as a hero in the hearts of civilians. ”
"Without our family's net worth, how dare I be so arrogant. Ari laughed.
"I don't understand, why did you give 10,000 gold coins to the woman who sold her body to bury her father! Is it because she is beautiful?
Ai Rui shook his head: "This is my father's consciousness, and the Sun family had something to do with our family back then. Later, it broke up. And the granddaughter, who is the woman today, is a first-class good person, and this 10,000 taels should be a compassionate money for those surviving family members. ”
"It seems that you have matured a lot, and you are not as childish as you used to be!" Lin Xuan said with deep meaning.
"You're getting more and more active, and you don't look much different from before, I can't figure out how you did it!" said Ari with a laugh.
"If you break through that level, you will naturally rejuvenate yourself!" Lin Xuan didn't intend to hide his strength from Ari.
"At that level, have you broken through the exclusive level?" said Ari.
"Well, it's been a while since the breakthrough. Hehe, Feng Xiao is now your sister-in-law, and her strength has reached the holy level. Lin Xuan smiled.
Lin Xuan's words were like a thunderbolt in Ari's ears. "Damn, that girl likes you anyway! I felt it when you left, and that girl always came to us to inquire about you. I didn't expect you two to come together!"
"Wren has children. Lin Xuan said with a smile.
"Damn, why are they all so happy, only I'm still alone. It's not easy to find someone who really likes you. Hey, fat people don't like it!" Ari said depressedly.
"Alright, don't talk about it, let's talk about you. What are your plans in the future?Are you going to live in your father's arms all the time?" Lin Xuan asked with a smile.
Ai Rui said helplessly: "I like business now, maybe I have our family's blood in my bones." But I don't want to live in my dad's shadow. But the blessed industry is too light, and almost all the good places on the continent are occupied by the blessed. I wanted to develop my own business, but I didn't have a good location to choose from. If there is a place that belongs to me, then I will definitely make my own world. One day, I want to surpass my father and every strong man in my family!"
"Hehe, then I won't beat around the bush. Eri, I'm here to find you this time. Because I have something to ask you for! But after listening to what you said, I feel that I can give you a chance, a world that belongs to you. And I will be your complete backing, handing over the economy of a city to you, I don't know if you accept it or not!" Lin Xuan looked at Ai Rui seriously.
"A city, you're the lord of the city, what do you think?" said Ari, in surprise.
"Do you think the city is an ordinary city?" Lin Xuan smiled.
Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Ari was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "You can't be the city lord of Qinglong City, right?" Haha, no kidding, let's get down to business." We are brothers, no one asks anyone to say that, as long as Ari can do it, it is absolutely incumbent. ”
"I'm serious, a city's economy, are you sure to develop it?"
"It depends on what kind of city it is, and I don't even think about it below the third-level main city. At most, I'll help you find someone to help, because I can't even pass my father's level, and if your kid really becomes the city lord of a third-level main city, then my brother will be mixed with you in the future. If you become the city lord of the second-level main city, then the brother will definitely mix with you even if he betrays the family. If you become the city lord of the main city at the next level, then the brother will help you unconditionally. I can also use the roots of the main city to build a chamber of commerce, and then surpass the blessed!" said Ari excitedly.
"It looks like you're excited, but now I'm just here to say hello to you, within three years, a first-level main city will appear on the mainland, and its scale will definitely not be smaller than the capital of the four empires. I think that's big, you know!" Lin Xuan smiled.
"Lin Xuan, are you kidding me? Do you know how many years it has been built as the capital of the four empires? How much manpower has been used? A main city of this level will appear within three years, unless it falls from the sky or comes out of the ground!"
Lin Xuan smiled slightly, and did not argue. Turning around, an enchantment was arranged. Then he said, "Have you heard of the Iron Capital?"
"What kind of steel capital? Steel City? Iron ore is sold there all year round, and we are blessed to have an industry there. Ari said directly.
"What. I'm talking about the ancient times, the Dwarven Empire, the steel capital that will never fall!"
Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Ai Rui was stunned for a moment, then sat next to Lin Xuan, and said directly: "I've heard of this, although some things have been covered up by history, there are still many things that have been handed down. I've heard of this steel city. But it is said that the main city has disappeared, do you know where he is?"
Lin Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Let me tell you my identity, I am the current Dwarf King." ”
"What, you are the dwarf king? Lin Xuan, we have known each other for more than twenty years, and this is the first time I know that you are actually a dwarf!"
"Damn, I'm human, very pure. It's just that he inherited the will of the dwarven king. And I've brought the dwarves together anew. Because I can summon the sleeping city of steel back to the continent anew. Lin Xuan said seriously.
"What you say is true? If that's the case. I'll follow you up and down!, however, the dwarves now have less than 10,000 people. There's a big city in the air, I'm afraid it won't even work, right?" analyzed Ari.
Lin Xuan nodded, obviously he didn't find the wrong person this time. Almost immediately, Ari heard that something was wrong. Lin Xuan continued: "You can rest assured of this, at the same time, the residents who entered the Steel City also include the elven clan and the orc clan. Together, the three clans are about 50,000. The rest needs to be replenished by humans, merchants. And you'll be in charge of all the economies of the Iron City. I don't know if you have an idea, do you have confidence?"
"The three great races of the ancients have all surrendered to you, if I remember correctly, the Elven Empress and the Orc Beast Emperor are all peak-level powerhouses, do you have a way to deter them?" said Ari in surprise.
"Absolutely. With the addition of our Dwarven Clan Elders, there are as many as three peak powerhouses in the Steel City. I think you, as a businessman, know better than I do about the advantages of our steel city. Lin Xuan said with a smile.
"Of course I know, the dwarven craft. The inventions of the goblins, as well as the ornaments of the elves, these are all good things that have no price on the continent. Especially the dwarven craftsman's guild, they can often create sub-artifacts, and on the continent, there will never be too much equipment. Even what ordinary dwarves create is definitely much stronger than what normal human blacksmith masters make. And they also have a large production. But it's not easy to get such a large main city on track. The surrounding countries will definitely be eyeing the steel capital. It is very likely that it will be strangled in the cradle before it has developed. We need money, a strong working capital, you can't let me take this......"
"Of course I won't let you take this, I have some experience in this regard, there should be no problem with holding an auction and then collecting tickets, right?" Lin Xuan smiled.
"Then there has to be something to be auctioned, or who would pay for tickets? And the working capital we need is not ordinarily large, and there is no point in anything that is not auctioned!" reminded Ari.
"Hehe, I've got some stuff. After Lin Xuan finished speaking, a heavy sword appeared in his hand and handed it directly to Eri.
