16. Look at me pretending to be forced, the mana is boundless
Riding on the horse, Qi Wuce was speculating about Adegan's heart. This old man is also interesting, knowing that his family lives in this poor mountain and bad water magic realm, but he dares to go out hunting with a bunch of recruit eggs.
Sure enough, this person, as long as he is old, he is still easy to get confused. Someone seems to have forgotten that Adegan's centaurs were besieged in large part because of him.
Along the way, Adegan was praising how rich the country he owned, how beautiful his daughter was, and how powerful someone who was about to nap, in short, Qi Wuce felt that his ears were about to become calloused, so since the old man praised his country, Qi Wuce simply went in his left ear and went out in his right ear.
There was some useful information in what Adgan had said, at least Qi Wuce now knew that he was in the Shadow Country on the Isle of Skye in Ireland.
The country of shadows, there are some impressions in my memory, but I can't remember it anyway, Qi Wuce, who feels troublesome, simply gave up, and it is better to use this time to repair his body.
It was almost dawn, Qi Wuce followed Adegan and his party, and finally saw a little shadow of the city, a castle was built on a mountain, surrounded by many natural dangers, and there were seven strong city walls, the castle was also surrounded by nine wooden fences, each wooden stake of the wooden fence had a head inserted, this disgusting scene made Qi Wuce feel a little unhappy, although Qi Wuce had been used to this kind of thing for a long time, but he still hated this kind of desecration of the enemy's corpse.
Until he entered the city, Adegan was still trying to sell his daughter, and threatened to marry him one of his two daughters. Qi Wuzhi didn't have much to say about this, after all, when he was a guest at someone else's house, it was not good for him to slap the host's face, God knows how people in the West love to shout at every turn to marry their daughters.
The air was filled with the smell of decay, and the roadside was full of unclothed people, as if because of the demonic realm, the city was always lacking in life, compared to the contemporaries of Athens and the earlier Uruk, the city could be called a dead city, and not surprisingly, the blacksmiths who made armor and weapons in this militaristic country were very well-lived.
Frowning, he felt a little troublesome. After all, he still has to live in this city for a few years, and Qi Wuce can't bear such a poor living environment, maybe he should talk to Adegan about how to better manage this city. Although this era is the supremacy of strength, we can't just focus on the development of the blacksmith industry.
After being graciously invited by King Adegan to a dinner party he held, Qi Wuce prepared to wander around and observe the people's feelings.
Regardless of that era, the gap between the rich and the poor is an indelible existence, and the gap between the poor and the rich is even more prominent in this ancient era.
The rich area, he had seen almost on the way to Adegan's residence, and it was completely different from the situation at the city gate. At least he didn't see anyone who couldn't afford to wear clothes in the rich area, and most of the people walking on the streets of the rich area were wearing armor or tunic samurai uniforms, and this country of shadows was indeed too martial.
Ten steps and one dark sentry, one hundred steps and one bright sentry, not to mention that the rich area is full of soldiers, and with this level of defense, mosquitoes can barely fly in. However, then again, this Shadow Country seems to be just this city, and when you go out, it is full of forests full of demonic beasts, and with such a tight guard, isn't this king really a muscle in his head? This kind of martial spirit is a bit too much, even Uruk, who was heavily guarded during the war, didn't have such a method.
Roughly browsed the city called the Shadow Country, Qi Wuce had a feeling that he couldn't say anything about this city-state, no way, the people in this city were brainwashed, and those who had no clothes at the city gate and in the slums didn't have money to buy clothes, but they didn't even wear clothes to buy armor and weapons.
The food source of the whole city depends on the farms outside the city, and agriculture is not particularly developed, maybe he can transfer some gold to help agriculture develop rapidly? The only thing worthy of praise is that the people have the policy of subsistence allowance.
With Qi Wu's ability, it is not difficult to govern this city as it was in the prosperous Uruk at the beginning. However, this time he didn't want to wade into this muddy water, "it's none of his business, he doesn't have to worry about it" obediently stayed here for a few years, and when he recovered from his injuries, he would continue to go out on waves all over the world.
He wants to watch the surprises of the world before the church prevails, and when "God" has completely developed the church, and all the gods will be relegated to the background, and the world will be much less interesting. Now that his strength is complete, he should be called invincible in the world, only the strongest gods in those god systems have the strength to fight with him, if this god does not appear on the surface of the world again, he can only pass the time by meditating and enlightening all year round.
The time for the dinner party was fast approaching, and the style of the dinner party was not beyond Qi Wuce's expectations. A large bonfire in the center, with food placed on tables and wrapped around it. All of this reminded Qi Wuce of the small tribes in some remote areas during the period of Dayu, which were even worse than the Greek civilization of the same period.
As for the food...... The food was even more miserable. I don't know how many ripe bloody barbecues are pasted into a pot of unknown sticky objects called "soups", and the only seasoning is salt, which is salt instead of salt, piece by piece of unprocessed salt, which is only placed on a plate, and if you want to use it, you have to scrape it yourself and use it. Except for the fruits, basically none of the food at this banquet was eye-catching.
Went straight to King Adegan's side and sat down, Qi Wuce said that he was helpless. Circumnavigating the banquet hall for a whole circle, only Adegan could sit down, and he had to admire that this Shadow Country was really a treasure of feng shui.
Because of the times, these people do not attach much importance to the concept of cleanliness, and there are many warriors who train every day without bathing or brushing their teeth, only Adegan often cleans his body for the image of the king, and this bonfire is together, the air is so hot, and the sweat is so out, and the smell is already a little unbearable. Thankfully, he has some small spells to filter, but the visual impact is still a bit daunting.
"Warrior, don't be so polite, just eat something, the food at this dinner is the best in our Shadow Country." Seeing that Qi Wucei didn't eat or drink, Adegan's face was a little displeased, and this warrior always gave him a feeling of looking down on them.
"Your Excellency has misunderstood, among the methods of cultivation is called 'Bigu', so it is best not to eat or drink, which is beneficial to my cultivation."
"Oh! Your cultivation method is interesting, unlike my two daughters, who go out all day long to challenge others to hone their martial arts. Adegan raised his glass and took a big sip of it, so much so that the placket of his clothes was a little wet.
"I have traveled from afar, and I have seen a lot of customs and customs along the way, and Your Excellency, the country of shadows is a little worse than the outside world." In a word, Qi Wuce planned to probe King Adegan's tone.
"Don't you know, our Shadow Country is in the Demon Realm, full of dark forests and barren plains, and this resource is naturally much worse."
"Well, this is indeed a problem, I have assisted many kings along the way, and I am also an alchemist and magician, and there are many ways to govern the country, if the king does not dislike it, this barren land can be transformed into a rich land in the next two years."
"Where, where are you willing to help me, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I dislike it, this title between us is a bit raw, if you want, just call me an Adegan." The heart of guarding against people is indispensable, and Adegan has begun to be a little vigilant against Qi Wuxue, and the conversation between the two has a hint of superficial effort.
"I don't know how Adegan ...... your daughter" As an old fritter, this Adegan's age is not enough to see in front of Qi Wuce, just with this sentence, he can eliminate most of Adegan's suspicions, with the intention, this Adegan will not be so wary of him, which is also more convenient for him to show his strength in the country of shadows, in order not to crowd around a bunch of stinky people every day, he has to show his strength to change the country.
"Is this ...... They traveled all year round, challenged everywhere to hone their martial arts, and in another two or three years, they would almost come back. Hearing Qi Wuce's words, Adegan was a little relaxed, and it would not be surprising if this person came here because of his daughter's admiration. His two daughters are not small in fame on the mainland, and it is not surprising that there will be admirers. At that moment, Adegan's helpless eyes also relaxed a little.
"Then I'll go and prepare, maybe tomorrow I can show you some results in Adgan."
Three years, so good, it only takes one month for him to completely change the country, and then he can leave in three years, and now he doesn't have the mood to open a harem.
"That's very good, you make some fame, so that I can marry my daughter to you." He wanted to see what he could get out of the night.
Leaving the banquet venue, Qi Wuce went out and began to investigate the terrain. Anyway, he is also an immortal, calling for wind and rain is trivial, and changing the terrain is not a problem. Creating large tracts of fertile farmland was nothing more than a matter of raising his hand, and although his body was a little weakened by the curse of the godkiller, it didn't affect his ability to use the mana he had already recovered. As for why he left in a hurry, it can only be said that the banquet scene was too chaotic, and there were a lot of copulations in public, which was really unbearable.
"The Unincultured Land" is Qi Wuce's only evaluation of the current Shadow Country. It is useless to reform the current Shadow Nation by simply giving resources, and this city-state is too backward in terms of thinking.
Even so, it is imperative that he do something that can be called a "miracle" in this god's generation, and only with prestige can he be better facilitated to do it.
Soon he found a suitable place, not too far from the castle, a vast plain that was barren to the point of no vegetation.
Let's start here. After Qi Wuce decided, he stretched out his hand and swiped his finger, only to see that in the night, his finger crossed the opposite place of the void, a large area of land cracked in the middle, water gushed out of it, and in an instant, an endless river appeared out of thin air.
It's not the first time he's done this. He had been to Ireland since when Ireland was not inhabited, when he moved Avalon Island directly into Avalon, and then regenerated a new environment by himself, and now it is naturally easier to paddle a river or something.
The Land of Shadows is located on an island across the sea from Ireland, and the island's water resources are scarce, so the appearance of this river is naturally like timely rain.
After rowing out a river, Qi Wuce's pitiful two layers of mana were consumed by half. The Moon World, which is based on mana, replenishes mana very slowly, except for some kind of demonic replenishment, basically these clones of them get mana from the body, naturally it is impossible to squander it wantonly like Uruk at that time, they have gone further and further on the road of warriors.
After a half-rest, the sky was almost a little cloudy. It's time to make some big moves to attract attention, and to use the skills of a god under the eyes of people to stand up to the power, this kind of trick "God" guy is not very good.
Qi Wuce rose into the sky and released mana around his body, and the entire land was instantly illuminated brighter than day.
"Phew!" A shout immediately spread throughout the Shadow Country.
Adegan and the warriors around him were immediately awakened from his sleep, and he did not feel a hangover, Adegan looked up and saw a vision in the sky, and with a clear mind, he immediately gathered the whole team of soldiers to march towards the place where the vision appeared.
The divine consciousness was retracted, and Adegan's army had reached its destination under Qi Wuce's perception. Grinning, he dimmed the light and made it less glaring.
Adegan quickly arrived at his destination with his army. He raised his eyes and saw that Qi Wuce was hanging in the sky and looking at him with a smile.
I saw Qi Wuce wave his hand, and an invisible force turned the whole land upside down, and countless rivers in the river that appeared at some point poured over as if they had life, and merged with the soil that was turned up, and the dust settled, and a large area of cultivated land appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
In the midst of everyone's stunned, Qi Wuce landed in front of Adegan's horse.
He looked at Adegan and said, "Your Majesty, I have a little knowledge of the way of magic. ”
Seeing that Adegan didn't reply for a long time, Qi Wuce's heart was secretly refreshed, and it was really a pleasant feeling to let others be stunned by what he had achieved.
Patting the horse's head, a disc with long wings appeared in Qi Wuce's hand, which was the trophy he captured when he destroyed the Sumerian god system, the artifact of the Sun Wheel God of War Ashuer, the Wheel of the Sun. When the wheel of the sun is activated, the winged disc automatically flies into the sky and hangs high in the sky, emitting a sun-like light.
Smiling and looking at the people who came, the not strong body looked so majestic and upright under the sunlight.
Adegan, sample! Fight with me, if you don't have the heart to usurp the throne, you can change the name and surname of the country of shadows with this hand. Come on! Come on! Look at me pretending to be forced, the mana is boundless!
"Your Majesty, I don't know if you are satisfied with such a feat, but now this Shadow Country can be regarded as having a large area of arable land for planting and grazing, and there is no need for the warriors to go out to hunt beasts all day long, and they can only live a life of day and night, licking blood from the knife edge."
Adegan, who had recovered from the shock, listened to Qi Wuce's address to him, and knew that it was his previous suspicion that made the other party a little unhappy, so he hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, the suspicion that I was under before is just human nature, and I hope Your Excellency will not blame you." ”
As Qi Wuce showed his strength, Adegan also completely let down his vigilance. With everything that just happened, I'm afraid it's not much better than those gods. Such a powerful person, as far as there is anything worth him to plot in this place, the only explanation is the reason for his daughter.
Thinking of this, Adegan's heart suddenly bloomed as bright, and he was going to promote this family business no matter what.
With a serious expression, Adegan said to Qi Wuce: "Since a powerful person like Your Excellency has taken a fancy to your daughter, presumably my two daughters who are obsessed with martial arts will also be extremely happy, in this case, I will first hire Your Excellency as the warrior of my Shadow Country, and when my two daughters come back, I will marry one of them to Your Excellency." ”
Warrior? Probably equivalent to the status of a general, shouldn't it be a court magician? Qi Wuce was a little confused, but if he became a general, he would be a general, anyway, he didn't care, and he would pass on the empowerment of governing the country to Adegan later. In this way, he can live comfortably as a salted fish again.
As for Adegan's daughter, he should also be able to remove the curse from his body in two years, and by then he will be quietly slipping away, and everything will be fine, he still owes two promises that have not been fulfilled, and he is not in the mood to find a woman yet.
In the midst of everyone's cheers, Qi Wuce reluctantly accepted Adegan's canonization and became a warrior of the Shadow Country.
Warrior? It sounds awesome, but God knows what the hell is the bureaucracy in the Shadow Country.
According to what I heard at the banquet last night, the stronger the strength, the higher the level. Wow! What kind of hell is this system, if the country hadn't stepped on such a barren land, I'm afraid the country would have been ruined a long time ago......
However, now that this country has been taken over by him, it must no longer be as monesticized as before, and as for how to carry out major reforms in a period of time, this will have to be done with the help of Adegan. City-state state, small place, easy to manage, as long as you are willing to impose some heavy punishment, the reform is simply easy, the effect is fast, the effect is good, as for whether Ade is willing or not, he will still use some small means if necessary, he has no time to cultivate a virtuous king who does not treat himself as a human being like Merlin.
In short, long live the reform! All the future for a better life!
