Volume 7: The Chamber of Secrets of Blackstone Mountain (Remastered) Chapter 25: The Territory of the Angel's Covenant (2)
"My idea is to establish seven cities, twenty-two towns and eighty-nine villages in this area, and at least four of them must be under our control, or cities belonging to our close allies, and towns and villages are not too demanding." Raphael told the bell about his arrangements.
"Isn't the density of seven cities too high?" "Even in the Almerian Empire, there are only three large cities in a province at most, and our total area here is less than two provinces, so will the establishment of seven cities lead to a competition for resources from each other?" ”
Raphael raised the scroll in his hand: "Don't look at us players through the eyes of NPCs, there are many things that we players don't need. ”
"What's in your hand?"
"Immigration Permit!" Raphael handed the scroll to the bell, "As a domain to pay taxes to the Raphinian kingdom in the future, the area under our administration will be merged into a single province under the name of the province of Burion, and at the same time, King Myne has agreed that we will recruit homeless vagrants in the Raphinian kingdom." Moreover, Princess Lana also said that the Kingdom of Sadalin will also open immigration permits to us. ”
"Great, so that we have a source of basic population!" "But you haven't said why you want to build seven cities, President?" ”
Raphael sighed helplessly: "Use your brain!" Why do those NPCs set aside a lot of area for a city? Because they have to feed the inhabitants of the city, every mouth has to be fed by the grain in the fields! But do you think that in the future province of Burion there will be enough land for us to farm? ”
The bell was not stupid, and quickly reacted: "I understand! This place is ravaged by demons, and the land rich in fire is not cost-effective to grow food, and our food can only be imported, and without the large land use of farmland, more land can be taken out and divided. ”
"What's more, the bigger the cake, the better it is!" Raphael laughed and said, "In addition to Venaburion, we must build another city nearby as a horn to avoid being surrounded and isolated in the worst case, and in addition to this, we must also build a city on the side near the province of Berlu, which is a means of entry and exit for reinforcements, so that we alone will have to take three cities." Brad's Knights of the Round Table are now close allies of ours, and they can share a city with the Radiance Guardian and several other well-connected guilds as a reward if they wish, or give them a town alone if they don't want to. ”
"In this way, there are at least three cities, fifteen towns and sixty or so villages on this cake, and it is true that if the cake is small, it will not be easy to divide."
"That's right, we must at least ensure that in the future province of Burion, the forces that obey us will occupy the main position!" Raphael nodded and said, "So, you need to complete the mapping of the entire area as soon as possible, especially the annotation of resource points." ”
"I see, since Camilla's side has completed the military operation against the portal, I think she can draw an elite group to carry out the mapping work, so that the speed should be further improved."
"You can arrange these things!" Raphael waved his hand, "Also, how is the recruitment of talents for the construction of the territory?" ”
Bell's face immediately showed obvious joy: "It's going well, until now, no one is aware of the need for this, except for us, so up to now, more than a thousand people have been recruited, and most of them have signed official contracts with us." ”
"A thousand? Not enough, far from enough! ”
"Huh?" The bell was stunned, a thousand people are not enough?
In fact, Raphael himself didn't care about this aspect of things, in her opinion, the construction of the territory anyway just need to be done casually, why bother to find professional talents, what builders, planners, will remember, warehousing, etc., this kind of thing needs to just pull a player to do it.
Road planning? Isn't it okay to be horizontal and vertical, so pay attention to what to do!
Warehouse management? Isn't there a system record? Wouldn't it be okay to ask someone to count it every few days!
Will remember? Yes? Does a territory still need to be remembered? Aren't the lords themselves counting the gold and supplies?
Yu Bin can only say that the current players are still too tender, and the Too young, too simple Tucson is broken!
A good territory should not only have perfect functional buildings and a strong resource base, but also have good planning.
First of all, do players understand how to plan urban water use? In addition to the undead who do not need water, the territories of other races need domestic water and drinking water, and these two different uses of water cannot be mixed, otherwise, it will cause a decrease in the satisfaction of the residents, and they will not want to move to the city or even leave the city, or at worst cause epidemics or fires, which will cause a devastating blow to the city's population.
Secondly, where is the appropriate arrangement of the business district? Where is the construction of the military zone conducive to rapid assembly? To what extent can industrial zones be planned to meet the military and economic needs of the city without affecting residential areas? How big does a residential area need to be to accommodate enough residents for urban development? Can these problems be solved by an average player? Apparently not!
Finally, after a city is developed, it is not enough to operate it a few times a day. How can the daily food needs of residents be met? How to solve the shortage of materials in the industrial zone? How is the construction and training of the army carried out? How are diplomatic relations with other cities handled? How to pay taxes to the higher lords and cooperate with military operations? If all these kinds of things are handled by the lord, then the lord doesn't have to do other things every day, and just dealing with these government affairs is enough for him to consume all the game time.
Therefore, all kinds of talents who are proficient in urban construction planning and management are indispensable, and the number cannot be less, the more they will help the lord, and the more time and energy the lord can spare to consider more important things, such as which enemy to launch a military operation against to seek his own benefit.
And the Angel's Covenant will have more than one city in the future, so for talents in this area, it can really be called more and more, and it will take as much as you want.
"I see! It's me who takes it for granted! After all, Bell is also a young man, where would he think so deeply, and after being carefully instructed by Raphael, he immediately realized his mistake, "I immediately asked people to expand the scope to find it." ”
"Don't just look for it in the game!" Raphael has a better way, of course, this is also taught by Yu Bin, "We also have to release news through the real media, newspapers, television, the Internet, all kinds of media to publish advertisements and recruitment information, don't worry about others and us to rob, the world has a lot of talent in this area, grab is not endless, you have to focus on our territory, presumably, people who really want to make achievements will not be willing to wait under the hands of others may have territory in the future to let him play, And give up the opportunity to prove yourself right away. ”
"The president is really far-sighted, the little girl admires, admires!" The bell made a strange appearance of being taught, knelt down on one knee, and clasped his hands into fists, "The elder is really Zhuge Liang is alive, and Liu Bowen is resurrected!" ”
Raphael glared at the bell with a smile: "You love to be weird!" ”
"Hey, the truth, this is my truth! President! Really, my enthusiasm is sincere, heaven and earth can be learned, don't believe it, you touch it! ”
"Your sincerity is too far away for me to touch!" Looking at the pair of murder weapons on the bell's chest, Raphael hated it so much that he complained angrily.
The bell lowered his head and looked: "Also, sometimes I myself feel that my conscience is too far away from me to touch!" ”
"You can't touch anywhere, you don't have any! You have no conscience! Leave me there and give you the top tank, you will be lazy here! You deserve your sore shoulders every day! The door to the room was pushed open, and Tiramisu walked in.
"Hey, you're going to take revenge! I deliberately give you the opportunity to behave, so many gentlemen are waiting for you whip and candles, and you don't thank me, but you come to slander me! No, I'm going to ask the president to judge us! ”
"Whip? Wooden horse? Candle? Raphael was confused and didn't know what the two guys were talking about.
"President, let me tell you, on the Internet forum...... Woo, you, what are you doing! ”
Tiramisu's eyes were quick, he stepped forward a few steps, and reached out to cover the bell's mouth: "President, it's nothing, the bell girl is joking!" ”
The bell ripped off the hand that was holding him: "You want to suffocate me!" Who is kidding! I'm going to let the president know about you today...... Woo, mud, mud. ”
"Suffocate you little hoof!" Tiramisu smothered the bell's mouth and dragged the vice president out.
After the two girls were fighting outside the door for a while, Tiramisu re-entered, apparently driving the bell away.
"What the bell just said—"
"Ah, it's nothing, President, it's all that girl's joke!" Tiramisu immediately changed the subject, "Don't talk about her, actually, I'm here to report something to you." ”
"Oh? What's the matter? Raphael looked at Tiramisu's red face and thought it was funny.
"Uh-huh!" As if knowing that the traces of the fight with the bell were still on his face, Tiramisu cleared his throat, "It's about the Snake of the Body." What happened at Mogaolei's place a few days ago, I guess the president already knows, right? ”
"That's right, one apostle, two executors, six executor candidates, and more than forty thousand players of the so-called hunting regiment, how could such a big thing not reach my ears." Although no outsiders know about the Mobires plan, so many players died on the Mogoray border, and it is impossible to hide it, this matter not only spread to the entire player group at the fastest speed, but also caused a lot of impact in reality, after all, this is the biggest loss since the body devouring snake was known, and everyone can see that this mysterious organization's operation in Mogore has failed.
Tiramisu nodded, and his face finally returned to seriousness: "Actually, what I want to report to you is about the follow-up to the Mogoray incident. According to the information we have received, Karn Blackhorn is no longer the Third Apostle of the Eater of Bodies, and the Executor Banora Splithoof has since disappeared without a trace, most likely being removed from the Eater of Bodies and expelled from the Eater of Bodies. ”
"Is it true? That's big news! ”
"There's no way to confirm for sure, but I think it's likely to be true, as two players have been invited by the Eater of Bodies to take over the vacated seats as executors." Tiramisu said with some excitement, "One of them is the seventy-sixth in the rank rankings, and the other one is unknown now." ”
"The moon is full and the cup is empty? I remember he was a star spirit? Raphael had a vague impression of this full moon cup, after all, the star spirit race was originally eye-catching.
Tiramisu nodded: "Yes, in fact, I contacted him more than two months ago, and I wanted to recruit him into the Angelic Covenant, but in the end he refused. ”
"And how did you know he was invited to join the Eater Serpent?"
"Well, actually, the moon is full and I are classmates, high school classmates." Tiramisu thought about it for a while, but finally said it.
"Oh~~~" Raphael let out a long sigh, "There is adultery! ”
"President!! I'm talking to you about business! ”
"I'm down to business!" Raphael looked at Tiramisu's embarrassed face with an obvious smile on his face, "You have a clear face written on it, even if you don't have adultery, you still have a private affair, right?" ”
Tiramisu was so ashamed of Raphael that she couldn't help but stomp her feet, which could make this unobtrusive female mage embarrassed like this, and Raphael couldn't help but be more interested in her relationship with that full moon.
But now is clearly not the time to pursue this.
"Okay, okay, no kidding you!" Raphael watched Tiramisu's face flush red again, and felt that it was likely to make the guy angry if he continued to talk about it, "Since he even told you about this kind of thing, he must have asked for something, right?" ”
Tiramisu took a deep breath: "It's not an embarrassing request, I can solve it myself, but he proposed that he can provide us with information about the Devouring Snake, and even make internal responses, I don't dare to decide this matter myself, so I'd better come to the president to discuss." ”
Although Raphael is younger than Tiramisu and Bell, since the establishment of the Angelic Covenant, the president of this Angelic Covenant has always shown far more wisdom and determination than ordinary people, so Tiramisu does not feel that it is a shame to discuss with Raphael.
Raphael craned his chin and thought for a moment: "I won't force you, will I?" ”
"No, no, he and I are just classmates, nothing special, really!"
"In that case, of course I'm willing to accept the kindness of your classmate, but it's better to be careful in everything, this is not an ordinary online game after all, I don't think you want to see this classmate of yours become a vegetative person."
"Of course, I know what to do, President."
"Well, then this matter will be handed over to you, you can contact him one-way, the less people know about this kind of thing, the safer."
"Yes, thank you, President!"
"Where, I should thank you!" Raphael said with a smile, "I don't want to beat the mandarin ducks and be hated by you for the rest of my life!" ”
"President~~~!"
"Okay, okay, let's go to the bell to find the bell! Whether it's a whip or a candle between you two good friends, I don't care! Raphael waved his hand angrily.
Tiramisu paused for a moment, and immediately reacted to what Raphael meant, apparently the president knew the meaning of the Whip Trojan Horse Candle.
So, as soon as Tiramisu left the room, Raphael heard a roar that could be heard throughout the city of Venabrion.
"Bell ———— ————!!!!!"
