"First of all, the horse bandits within the empire. According to the information I inquired, I am afraid that a large part of the annual military funds for the city are given to these horse bandits. But these bandits are hiding in the forest nowhere, and it may be difficult to capture them.

Second, monsters attack the city, in the middle of every month, monsters from the Dragonspine Mountains will attack the city, but the previous way to deal with it is to let the walls block those terrifying monsters, and after a week, these monsters will naturally all retreat. However, I have checked the condition of the city walls here, and they are already very fragile, and I am afraid that they will collapse at any time. I'm afraid that the day of the monster siege is already imminent this time, and I have already found a way to contact Constana to see if she can help.

Thirdly, and our biggest problem, is that I can't find anything in the city that can be used for commercial trade, which means that even if we solve the above two problems, this kind of city will not be able to thrive like any other city-state. Because almost no one will go to the Dragon's Back Mountains, let alone caravans, and the area around this area is also somewhat affected by the Death Basin, there are not many powerful demonic beasts at all, and there will be no mercenaries to hunt demon cores around here, it is almost impossible for us to develop this city.

The first two are okay, with Catherine here, no bandits can escape her detection, but the horse bandits are numerous and mobile, and we can't stand playing duǒ māo māo with us. And if the monster attacks the city, there is no Constana, as long as the Führer Sindra is willing to shoot, it is not a problem at all, even if Sindra is unwilling to shoot, but Arnold can train nearby monsters to help defend against monsters, so the security problem is not big. But although these monsters are not powerful, they are shouting twenty-four hours a day, and they hate to disturb the people very much, and almost no one wants to live here except that they are really inseparable. We must find a way to eradicate it.

So the main thing is the third one, do you have any good opinions? ”

Several people present frowned, but it was Norrell who wondered, "Judging from the current buildings of this city, it also prospered, what did it rely on?" Why don't we learn from it? ”

"At that time, the Empire was still mining in the Dragonspine Mountains." A simple explanation from Lux discouraged Norrell from thinking that ore was the only reason for the place to prosper.

The heroes could only shake their heads, and even Lux thought they were annoying, and I am afraid that no one could think of a solution.

"It seems like an unsolvable problem." Elsa sighed, she had been ordered by her superiors to come here to spread the Light, but she didn't want to come across such a thing.

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain...... Let's solve the problem first. On the third economic issue...... Arnold, do you know the way for your winged tiger king? I'm going to go find the silver fox. "If you talk about making money, you still have to consult a professional!

Arnold nodded.

"Well, in addition to these dà má annoyances, there are some annoying problems...... The most important thing, materials and manpower, I have checked the warehouses of this city, and I can't even find a mouse, but fortunately, you have the right of the emperor to transfer to nearby towns at a preferential price, and there are 10,000 gold coins on your body that should be able to support the city for a while, but this is always not long-lasting, we need a long-term stable and cheap supply, otherwise even eating is a problem.

I don't need to say more, Catherine has already said that there are no young people left in this city, and if we go around to catch strong men, I'm afraid we will only ask for trouble, after all, those old thieves are using your dark identity as a forbidden summoner, I don't know if you really changed your mind, so they sent you here. If you catch strong men, don't you give those guys a handle? ”

The meeting was gone, and everyone went about their own business.

Zhao Xin, who was the royal housekeeper of the Guangdun Dynasty, was obviously quite good at tidying up the house in addition to fighting, and he took the initiative to ask Ying to supervise the soldiers and ruffians here to clean the house. Elsa went out to find some opportunities to preach the teachings of light, and Norrell went out with Elsa.

And Feng Liu talked to Arnold alone. Feng Liuwei suddenly remembered the missing person notice of Arnold from the beast clan, and thought of the holy relic left by the god in the ice and snow sacrifice of the barbarian race, so he was worried about whether the orc clan could take action against the holy artifact before thinking of Arnold, a "foreigner" with semi-barbarian blood.

Arnold's heart was also tense when he heard this, and he nodded solemnly.

"I've used disguises and pseudonyms all the way, and no one will know that I'm with you. And, I'll take care of myself. ”

After saying goodbye to Arnold, Feng Liu followed Catherine to various places in the city to investigate, and there were only more than a thousand people left in the whole city, except for the old people, the remaining six or seven percent were children who had not been taken away - Feng Liu really didn't know how the parents of these children could bear - Feng Liu remembered the agents of MI7 and asked Lux if he could add these children to MI7. The children who were rescued from the traffickers were either sent home or became part of MI7's zhōng tè workers.

Lux's words made Feng Liu helpless, and he wanted to make the information bigger. It is bound to cause a greater conflict with the thieves' union, and the original seal was only needed to buy and sell the intelligence of Federer City, so Lux can suppress the thieves' union with an ethereal mysterious person, but it may be difficult to make it bigger.

Catherine said,

Feng Liu was going to gather the children here, but suddenly he saw a white priest on the street.

"Huh? Isn't that Elsa? Catherine, who was following Feng Liu, looked puzzled, "What is she doing there?" ”

"Go up and have a look."

Approaching, Elsa is using light magic to heal a dying child. But he was powerless, and beads of sweat could be seen on his face.

Her dignified white-clothed sect leader of the seventh order couldn't even save the child!?

Norrell on the side was also full of urgency, but he was even more helpless about this situation, and when he looked up, he saw Feng Liu running towards this small step. Hurriedly asked Feng Liu to see if he could help.

"He's lacking in blood and energy, and your light magic can't save him." Master Yi came out of the summoning space, took out her own life orb instead of Ersa, and poured the purest life force extracted from heaven and earth into the child. The child, whose heartbeat was so weak that it almost stopped, slowly opened his eyes and recovered. This scene made Elsa's face darken.

Catherine had planned to take food out of her hat for the children here, but was prevented by the seal.

"Want meat?" Feng Liu asked. The children looked at Feng Liu numbly, and Feng Liu repeated his question, saying, "Do you want to wait here for death, or do you want to eat meat." ”

The answer is obvious.

"If you want to eat, you can find some more children, the number of them will reach twenty, and there will be food at noon, and I will wait for you here."

Hearing this, the children immediately went to look for the other children in the city.

"They live here, and they actually live by eating rats and cockroaches." Elsa's face was shocked, and she said what she had just learned, "How can you eat those things?" ”

"If you're hungry, even maggots can eat it, and the fatter the better." It was Feng Liu who said this, and Elsa looked at him in shock, but Feng Liu's face was not abnormal at all, "To survive." ”

Catherine's tone was full of sympathy.

"Norrell, Miss Elsa." Feng Liu's face turned straight, "Wait a while, you and Elsa will take these children out to hunt the demonic beasts here, and Ersa, your seventh-order priest, can protect them." When the hunt is over, give them the tools and let them peel and roast the meat themselves. By the way, you can stuff a little bread on the way to quench their hunger, so that they must follow you, but never too much. ”

Although Norriel was upright but not stupid, after a little thought, he understood the meaning of Feng Liu, and nodded, "Leave it to me." ”

Leaving here, this improvised thought came to Feng Liu's mind, "Master Yi, how long do you think it will take for these children to recuperate to the point where they are no different from ordinary people?" ”

"Two weeks is enough."

"Good...... Let's start here. ”

……

The news of the arrival of a new town lord in Field City soon spread throughout the province of Field, and several nearby towns soon learned of the news - because the city garrison, who had come to the town on weekends to visit the kilns, had never come again, and the garrison had been blatantly killed in the woman's bed, and soon after the city posted a notice to put the man to death for embezzlement.

Eighty percent saw that the money had already been swept away, so he was unhappy and angry, right? That's what almost everyone who has some curiosity about the matter thinks, but the reality is that it was not what they expected. Instead of leaving the city, which was no different from an abandoned city, the new lord invested money in the nearby town to buy medicinal herbs and brew potions to strengthen the inhabitants of Field City.

Some idlers who were greedy for cheap even mixed into the city, and drank this decoction that can strengthen the body together, and by the way wanted to see if they even mixed up the meal, but found that this meal was not eaten in the city, but someone specially led the residents of the city to the suburbs to hunt monsters for food.

These powerful beasts in the eyes of ordinary people were not worth mentioning in the hands of the lord's followers, and after they were easily overthrown, they let these residents of the original city make their own barbecue and food to be self-sufficient.

When those people who originally came with a good attitude saw this scene, they immediately knew that this new city owner probably really wanted to do something.

In two weeks, it took nearly 2,000 gold coins to finally adjust the physical condition of the residents in the city to a more normal state. At the same time, the residents were taught how to use traps to hunt monsters, and some monsters were raised in captivity in the suburbs.

Fortunately, this winter is already the coldest time, so there is no need to worry about more troubles. And with such a veritable white-clothed sect leader as Ersa, even the problem of illness is not big.

As for Feng Liu, after acting under the arrangement, he took the winged tiger to Federer City to take the secret passage to find MI7, and gathered fifty people to go to Field City to help, and at the same time found the silver fox.

"Field City? Purely from the perspective of this city, the city does not have any commercial future, I don't think it will be able to trade, and it will lose money. Of course, if you bring me the dragon eggs, I can think about it a few times...... By the way, what's going on with you, you've been assigned to that hellish place? The silver fox was surprised after listening to Feng Liu's story.

"Naturally, someone is doing something about it." Feng Liu sighed, "I have considered the worst in my heart, I have a way to develop when I am assigned to the countryside, but I didn't expect that there would be such a city in the empire...... I knew that I would be in such a ghost place, so I refused directly, but at that time, the old guys in the court pressed the words too tightly, and I had no way to refuse. ”

"Hank, their allies?" Silver Fox smiled, "But this guy Hank has also been clamping his tail tightly in the past two days, and the empire has specially sent people to investigate him, which has given me a lot of good opportunities to make money...... Gee. I didn't expect you kid to fight back sometimes. ”

"Cut ......" Feng Liu sneered, he naturally gave Hank a hand secretly, I am afraid that the power of Federer City will also change soon." Is there really nothing you can do to revive the economy of Field City? ”

"Unless you can reopen the ore fields in the Dragonspine Mountains." Feng Liu's brows sank, so there was no way, but he listened to the second half of the silver fox's sentence and said, "Or...... Create a business opportunity. ”

"Create a business opportunity?" The seal is incomprehensible.

"It's in yourself."

Silver Fox's words made Feng Liu meditate for a long time, but he couldn't understand the true meaning, but he didn't ask Silver Fox, because he knew that Silver Fox hadn't explained before. Then it costs money to ask, and the price is definitely not expensive, so let's think about it yourself.

Feng Liu said goodbye and left the silver fox's study. Get up from your seat. Silver Fox glanced at the books on the shelves, a smile on his face.

……

After the big game, Federer City seemed to be back to its original state. Feng Liu walked on the street while thinking about what the silver fox said, and at the same time looked at the familiar streets on both sides and couldn't help but sigh.

What used to be Fils has now been turned into a union building, and it is a thriving place for people. Under the operation of the Silver Fox, it is about to become another landmark of Federer.

And that little bar was still behind the building, across that alley, and Feng Liu passed by the door of the bar. I couldn't help but go in.

The bar is open for business, perhaps during the day. There weren't many mercenaries and so on, just a few sitting there drinking and chatting. Seal the eyes and sweep the eyes. Looking at everything here, just like when he left, he knew that this was the meaning of the silver fox, and he took care of his feelings.

Catherine said with emotion,

Catherine said this, Feng Liu, this is to notice the small shelf on the table, on which there are a few books the size of a palm, Feng Liu's recognition at a glance, isn't that what he made to promote himself at that time? As I thought so, I suddenly heard some discussion in my ears.

"It's still comfortable to read the original version here, and the books in the back must have changed writers, and what is written is messy."

"It is said that because Master Moi left Federer, the author of this book could not be contacted, so the book was transferred to someone else to write."

"I heard that the author is the leader of the dark organization and is wanted, so I changed the person to write it."

"Bah, you believe what those dog officials say. Besides, even Lao Tzu supports him, and only such a legendary person can write such a legendary story."

The discussion of several people continued, but Feng Liu already realized the meaning of the silver fox in his heart! Immediately left the bar with joy in his heart.

Wait, when I develop, I'll get you back!

After glancing back at the bar's signboard, Feng Liu strode towards the silver hall.

……

Two weeks later, when Feng Liu returned to Field City, the MI7 men had already arrived first, and they had each taken to their respective posts at Lux's orders. In just two weeks, Feng Liu felt that the city had a new feeling. Although the building is still so old, the people who live here seem to have come back to life.

"Now there are 300 elderly people in the city, and the rest are 40% of the disabled and mentally handicapped, and Miss Elsa is already trying to cure each of them, but depending on the situation, the project will take a month. The others were all children under the age of fifteen. ”

Lux reported the situation during this time for Feng Liu.

"But many of the inhabitants of this city have already left, and they don't want to come back when they go to the surrounding towns. So now our subjects have been reduced to less than 1,500 people, and nearly eighty percent of them are incapable of working. ”

"But it's not a big problem for them to fend for themselves."

"There's no need to worry about that." Lux was sure that Feng Liu was relieved, but he listened to Lux continue, "However, I suspect that our actions and the bandits have been overshadowed, and MI7 agents have discovered something abnormal...... Feng Liu, what do you think we should do now? ”

"Is there any news from Constana?"

"Yes, I've asked Arnold to pick her up, and I'll be there the day after tomorrow."

"Then don't worry." Feng Liu nodded, and suddenly said strangely, "By the way, Annie's little girl didn't stay in the City Lord's Mansion, where did she go?" ”

"She's going to teach others magic with Elsa, but I don't know if it's going to be three minutes of enthusiasm."

"Hopefully not, otherwise she'll be interested in my hair again......" Seeing Grice, who was supposed to stay on death row, appear here, it was indeed a surprise to Feng Liu. And more importantly, he was now sitting in the hall of his City Lord's Mansion in the open.

"Why did you get here?"

"Come to work, I didn't expect your kid to be the city lord in a place where this bird doesn't." Grice said sullenly, took out a letter and the official badge for the empire and handed it to Feng Liu, who handed it over to Lux, who was a member of the personnel department in the city, "I was going crazy when I became noisy with those monsters two days ago, I really don't know how you can stand it, and you don't have a soundproof barrier here." ”

"The soundproof barrier doesn't cost money, we have a soundproof barrier in the office, and it's a thrifty thing to eat every day." Feng Liu's eyes were white, knowing that he had missed this month's monster siege, but when he came back, he found that there was nothing abnormal about the city wall except for some scorched black, so he remembered what Grice said.

"You kid is really picky, you shouldn't be less if you win the championship money in the big competition, your city lord's mansion, the soundproof enchantment will consume a few gold coins a month."

"That would bring bad limelight." Feng Liu shook his head, "The whole city is being harassed by the screams of that monster, and if I only set up a soundproof barrier in the City Lord's Mansion, the hearts of people I have built up here will be gone." ”

"You want to work here forever?" Grice was surprised, "I'm just going to go home if you plan to roll up a sum of military funds." ”

"Emotional embezzlement of military spending is already a habit in your eyes?"

"That's how the city is...... Eh......" Grice's sigh made Feng Liu feel that he could dig out some hidden secrets of the city, so he asked.

"I've always been weird. Isn't the situation in the city clear to the upper echelons of the Empire? How did you let this city become like this? ”

"I don't understand the struggle of politicians, mainly because it's not a critical place, it doesn't have economic resources, and it's not like Federer City, which is a gate to the orcs. So the main thing here is to allocate money, and to ensure peace. Grice said dismissively.

"The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the anthill......" Feng Liu sighed, "By the way, to speak...... You won't be demoted because of the shadow waiter's seedling, right? Feng Liu laughed, but Grice's face changed, and he was about to scold him harshly, but he heard Feng Liu's words, "Don't worry." The few people in this city lord's mansion are all people I have summoned, and your identity has long been known to them. ”

Grice quickly relented and said, "As you say." Of course, the other layer means ......"

"The emperor asked you to spy on me." Sealed gloomy road.

"Nope." Grace said, "It's the Seventh Princess who asked the Emperor to have the shadow attendants stationed here to help you." ”

"An essence, so it depends on which level of perspective." Feng Liu said calmly, his current city lord should be looking at Gladys's face. Therefore, talking is not as scrupulous as before, grandma's, it's a big deal, I will get rid of this mess and go to the world, anyway, this Hank is now being watched by the emperor Lao'er and can't make any waves.

"You can't say that...... In a word. I've brought two people with me this time, so I can listen to you at any time. ”
