For the traversers, the profit of this amount of nearly 190,000 gold coins is a lot less, but it is not much.

The reason why I say a lot is because in terms of the current daily expenses of the team, this amount is enough to last for more than ten years. Nowadays, the expenses required to travel through the crowd are nothing more than the monthly commission of the male and female employees of the entire estate, and the firewood, flour, oil, and salt required for three meals a day. And these expenses are not much. A thousand gold coins are enough for a year.

The human city-state society in the world of Yber is generally peaceful, but there are still wars and conflicts of all sizes from time to time, and coupled with the restrictions of transportation methods, it is naturally difficult for mass entertainment to truly flourish and popularize. Residents of a bustling city like Breitnia have a rich leisure life, and after work, they can go to the public bathhouse to rub their backs, and then go to the tavern for a glass of wine and enjoy the dancers' performances. If you occasionally grit your teeth and get a little more blood, you can also go to a nightclub to have fun. The more elegant activities are of course a trip to the Grand Theatre to see an opera or a circus performance – which, of course, is more expensive.

In contrast, for the peasants who live in remote rural villages and towns, who live only better than the slaves at the bottom of society, but at least are still freemen, the happiest time of the day is probably nothing more than gathering in the shade of the trees in the evening to drink the crude ale mixed with water, gossiping about the new daughter-in-law or the young ** in the village^coquette.

Due to the inconvenience of road traffic, the gap between the city and the countryside in the world of Yber is often greater than can be imagined. For these nobles with real power in their domains, although the annuity they received each year from their domains, plus the total profits of various taxes and other incomes, was theoretically not inferior to the profits of the merchant groups in most cities in a year's operation. But when it comes to the quality of life, I'm afraid it's much worse. After all, no matter how much the territory within a radius of dozens of miles develops, it is difficult to compare with the densely populated big cities. The limited size of the small towns and villages in the territory also makes it difficult for the entertainment businessmen to want to invest^ . If you don't count the low-grade entertainment venues opened by some small operators, it is indeed difficult for these lords in the countryside to find a gap for their entertainment. So much so that these lords often have shiny gold coins on hand, but there is no suitable place to spend them. If you're lucky, if there's a forest full of wild animals near your territory, you'll at least be able to hunt and add some variety to your usual monotonous menu. If you're unlucky, even that last bit of fun is gone.

Because of this, it is rare for the travelers to spend a lot of money on luxury. The piles of gold and silver coins in the treasury meant nothing to them other than to represent a figure that showed their wealth.

And the reason why it is said that it is too little, is because the traversers now have a bottomless pit that burns money - the 'Eternal Tree', a remnant of ancient civilization.

Despite the fact that the area where the Tree of Eternity is located is an 'enclave' for everyone. However, the traversers still regularly send people to carry out maintenance and management, and by the way, they will practice retreat there. I have to say that the habitat selected by the Tree of Eternity is very good, and the rich spiritual energy contained around it has benefited the traversers who are cultivating in it a lot, even Yang Qianyu and the others, who are currently in a bottleneck state of strength improvement, can vaguely feel that the energy they have accumulated is beginning to slowly fill up again (but this speed is still too slow).

As for the other function of the Eternal Tree, 'Mass Production of Alchemy Biological Weapons', due to the high cost of resources, the traversers have not yet used it.

Now, however, the people have decided to use this effect of the Tree of Eternity. There is no other reason - the people who travel today need more manpower.

Whether it is to hunt and level up more efficiently, or to defend the territory, or to deal with possible armed conflicts with hostile forces in the future and participate in the upcoming anti-demon war, the traversers need to recruit their subordinates to achieve their goals. Although according to the current situation of the team, there is no lack of high-end combat power - the individual combat power of people like Shi Jinxin, Yang Qianyu, Ruan Kunpeng and others can be compared to high-level high-level peak level fighters, and people like Bai Yang, Song Fei and others have mastered the powerful magic of large-scale wide-area attacks - they can be said to have an absolute advantage at the tactical level, but in the face of large-scale battles, they will inevitably be unable to do so.

In the battle of the world of Iber, there are only two ways to fight against the strong - either use the same strong to fight, or mobilize a large number of low-end combat forces to surround and fight. The former is not too worried, after all, with their current strength, even if they can't defeat it, they can at least get out of it. The latter is more difficult to deal with, although I am not sure how much courage those guys who are used as cannon fodder have to fight a strong man, but when the quantity reaches a certain level, it can still overpower the quality. In the world of Iber, there are only two ways for the strong who die on the battlefield to die - either at the hands of the stronger or by being outnumbered.

Therefore, after deliberation, everyone unanimously decided to try to expand their own forces.

However, although it is to expand its strength, it is not realistic to recruit the natives of the Yber world. Let's not talk about the limited strength of ordinary soldiers, and the reason why it is not easy for fighters to win over. Just because everyone is still living mainly in the territory of their allies (referring to Count Cassa Leopold), rash recruitment will inevitably give the owner of the territory the impression of being dominant, and then it will inevitably cause misunderstandings.

Therefore, activating the 'Alchemy Crafting' function of the Eternal Tree, and mass-producing alchemy soldiers has become the only option for the Crossing Crowd to expand their power.

Xuanyuan Manor, basement of the main villa.

Burning torches illuminated the dimly lit basement room, where Li Xiang and his companions gathered.

It's a very ordinary underground storage room, the only peculiar thing is that it's empty, and there's nothing.

"Didn't arouse the suspicion of the servants?" Looking at the people who entered the room, Li Xiang asked in a low voice.

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

"Don't worry," Fu Bin replied in a low voice, "We came here separately and didn't attract the attention of outsiders." ”

"That's good," Li Xiang nodded when he heard this, and then said to Sun Xiaoyu: "This time I went out, so I will trouble you to stay with your friends at home." ”

"I know, I'll take care of the house." Sun Xiaoyu nodded in response.

Li Xiang was relieved after receiving Sun Xiaoyu's reply, turned around and walked to the middle of the room, and several other companions also came to stand around him. After making sure that the companions around him were all standing, Li Xiang took a deep breath, raised his right palm down, and said in a deep voice: "Teleportation array, open." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a sudden silver light bloom on the ground, and the shining silver light outlined a complex magic array, enveloping Li Xiang and the others in the middle of the room. Immediately after that, the silver light that outlined the magic array flashed violently. When the light dissipated, he saw that the middle of the room was empty, and the figures of Li Xiang and several companions around him disappeared without a trace.
