Chapter 2 City Lord? Suzerain?
"Sister Goddess!"
With the scream, Ye Yihai turned over and sat up! I looked down at my hand first, well, it's made of meat, it's not illusory at all, so was it just a dream before?
Well? The light flickered a little, it was lit by a candle, and the power went out?
Then after looking around, Ye Yihai was surprised, this is definitely not his home, just by looking at the area, this sleeping place is bigger than his entire home. But there was no one else here, and there was no sound around. The light came from a large chandelier in the middle of the room, which looked very gorgeous, but unfortunately it was the candles that were lit - very large candles.
After getting out of bed, Ye Yihai cautiously came to the wall, he saw a wolf's head hanging on the wall on the bed before, and when he got closer, it was even more lifelike, which made Ye Yihai have some doubts in his heart, this is afraid that it is a specimen made of real wolf heads. Touching the knight's armor on the nearby wall again, the cold touch and heavy texture, Ye Yihai felt that maybe those goddesses before were lucky draws or something, I'm afraid it wasn't a dream, he might have really crossed into a continent of gods.
Sitting back on the bed, Ye Yihai began to think carefully, but unfortunately, he still couldn't remember how he came over, but he remembered everything after that clearly.
By the way, if you come, you will be safe, don't you say that you are the lord of the city? It seems right to live in such a big place, but what about the things you get by lottery? And didn't you become a paladin? How do you feel like nothing has changed?
I touched it behind me, there was no backpack or anything like that, but I was wearing silk clothes, which were much softer and more comfortable than my own pajamas or something, but what was the use? What about your own artifact? What about Goldfinger?
Just when Ye Yihai was thinking a little anxiously, the bedroom door was opened.
Following the voice, Ye Yihai looked up and saw a heroic female warrior walking in.
Finding that Ye Yihai had woken up and sat up, the female warrior bent down and saluted and said, "Lord Lord, you are awake!" ”
"Hmm!" Humming meaninglessly, Ye Yihai didn't know how to answer, he didn't know what the other party's name was.
Soon though, his troubles disappeared as the female warrior began to introduce herself.
"I'm your adjutant Elsa, and from today onwards I will assist you in managing your territory, if you want to know anything, you can ask me."
It turns out that there are special support staff, but it's okay! Ye Yihai breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of this, he decided to learn about the situation of his territory first, hey, Ye Yihai suddenly realized that the other party was talking about the territory, not the city?
"Well, you can first introduce my territory, what is the situation now!" Anyway, there are ready-made people who know the situation here, Ye Yihai asked directly.
"Okay! Your territory is located in the Frost Plateau in the north of this continent of the gods, and now there is only one city, no subordinate villages and towns, and because the city has just been established, the surrounding mineral deposits have not yet been investigated, and there are no caravans to establish a market, but at least there is no shortage of wood and stone, there is a large forest outside the city, and the nearby small stone mountains are easy to quarry, so there is no problem in building the foundation or anything. ”
"Wait, you said it was just established?" Ye Yihai asked in surprise.
"Yes, as the chosen lord, your appearance has led to the appearance of this city." The female warrior replied as a matter of course.
“……!” Ye Yihai was speechless, this god is too idle, choose me to come over and build a city now!
Seeing that Ye Yihai didn't speak, Elsa continued: "At present, the population of the city is only 10,000, and the adventurers are even more pitiful, these people can only provide about 500 gold coins per month in taxes, and now the gold coins available in the city are only 3,000, and there are not too many wood and stones, and there are still many necessary buildings in the city that have not been built. ”
"A must-have building? What buildings are there in our city now? What buildings are missing? Ye Yihai thought in his heart, these 3,000 gold coins shouldn't be too little, is this going to build a city?
"This is the City Lord's Mansion, and in front of it is the City Hall, where I usually work during the day, and the task release in normal times is my main job, and I will also cooperate in protecting the City Hall in wartime. And then there is the first-level magic tower, where the archmage Adair sits there, usually the archmage will practice in the magic tower, and in wartime he will provide the city with guardian enchantment and magic assistance, of course, every month we have to provide 1000 gold for the research fee of the archmage Adair, and the materials needed for the archmage's research will be released in the form of tasks, so if you want the archmage Adair to advance quickly, you need to have a large number of adventurers to serve him. There is also the altar in your city lord's mansion, which is the place where the gods send their tasks, and it is also a very important place, and the construction of the territory is inseparable from the gods' gifts. ”
1000 gold coins are gone? It seems that these 3,000 gold coins are not much! Ye Yihai is a little bottomless, as for the altar or something, I'll talk about it later, the place where the gods send the task sounds very high-end.
"The city has security problems, so soldiers are necessary, now the city has a level 1 infantry battalion, a level 1 bow battalion, the new city was established at the beginning of 200 soldiers, including 80 infantry, 120 archers, these 200 soldiers have reached level 50. However, the level of soldiers trained in the first-level barracks is very low, only level 20. ”
It turns out that soldiers also have ranks! It's like playing a game! But this soldier is only level 50, but he is not as strong as the guards in the game he used to play, and the guards in the city are all capable of seconds, and level 100 can't withstand the guard's sword.
"There is a level 1 training ground, there is a fantasy that can train 100 people at the same time, and a field for 100 people to practice their skills. Because there are too few adventurers, there is no income at the moment. ”
Bootcamp in Mirage? Then you can also go and train yourself, I'm the city lord and shouldn't charge money, right? Ye Yihai was a little moved, he hadn't figured out the situation of the paladin yet, and it was safer to experiment in a relatively safe environment like the illusion.
"A miscellaneous store, a weapons store, a armor store, a trinket store, a drugstore, a food store, a mercenary pet store, a mercenary shop, and a consignment shop have also been built. The only functional buildings in the city are at present, other gladiatorial arenas, prisons, taverns and the like have not been built, and the arrow towers on the city walls have not been repaired. The gates and walls are also fragile, and they can be quickly destroyed in the event of high-intensity fighting. A lot of houses have been built, but now there are very few people who can buy or rent them, so they are mostly empty. ”
Seeing Elsa stop, Ye Yihai was a little dizzy, this amount of information is a bit big! For a man who is just working for a small company, it is really difficult for him to suddenly have to manage a city, even if it is only a small town with a population of 10,000.
"Well, this, Elsa, what do you think is the first problem I have to solve now?" I have no choice but to ask this adjutant, I hope she is an all-rounder.
Living up to expectations, Elsa really knew what to do first, "First of all, of course, to solve the problem of income, I have sent people to scout around, and when the reconnaissance results come out, we will first collect the nearby wood and stone, so as to meet our early construction needs, and then see if there are any minerals, if there is, we must find a way to occupy and start mining, this is a long-term solution, first, it is possible to build equipment, and secondly, after building a bazaar, there will be merchants to trade, and more ores can also be exchanged for money." ”
"And then it's about increasing income, and as long as there are more adventurers here, the whole city will come alive, whether it's individual shops, or a large number of houses for rent and sale, it will bring in income. What's more critical is that most of God's tasks cannot be completed by a few people, and a large number of quest items require a large number of adventurers to participate in them to complete quickly, and this is the most critical place to develop a city. But adventurers are also an unstable factor, so first of all, we need to strengthen the army to ensure safety, and then put some high-end items in the merit shop to strengthen the attractiveness of our city to adventurers. For now, I'd suggest that we have a limited access to the teleportation array, and only allow those who have not yet been employed to enter our territory through the teleportation array, although this restriction is only limited to a month at most, but it is enough for us to protect ourselves, and you will need time to level up. ”
Adventurer? Ye Yihai's heart suddenly moved, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is the adventurer a chosen person like me?" After asking, Ye Yihai's heart rose. If there are other people in this crossing, do they also have golden fingers? A gold finger that is even stronger than yourself?
"Not all, in addition to the chosen ones, there are also some aborigines of the continent, adventurers are just a profession, some people are born with adventure and have the talent to fight, so they will naturally become adventurers." Elsa's answer let Ye Yihai know that he guessed correctly, there are really other people who will appear on this continent. It's not a crossing, is it? This is what an infinite stream looks like! But at least he got off to a good start and owned a city.
