Early the next morning, Qin Feng asked Matt to return to the underworld first, he needed to go back in advance to arrange the surrender of the Underworld, and prepare to welcome the new master. Qin Feng and the three of them commanded the Terran troops, and several harpy banshees led the way in front of them, marching towards the underground entrance, Qin Feng was very curious about this underground world.
After several days of marching, the team finally reached the entrance to the Underworld. This entrance is large, halfway up a mountain. Qin Feng estimated that even a dragon could fly in. Standing at the entrance, you can see a passage extending deep into the ground, and it is only a few dozen meters as far as the eye can see. The troops could only light torches and move slowly.
After walking for about 3 or 4 hours, the light in front of me slowly brightened. Turning a corner, his vision suddenly brightened, and Qin Feng was deeply shocked by the scene in front of him. Floating in the air overhead, stones emitting a soft white light, the size of a football field and the size of a car. The light provided by these stones not only illuminates the entire underground world, but also helps the growth of many underground plants and animals. As far as the eye could see, Qin Feng saw many kinds of underground plants, trees tens of meters high, only a huge umbrella-like leaf growing at the top of each branch, using the rhizome to move on its own, creepy giant flowers and various strange plants made Qin Feng's gaze overwhelmed.
Leading the team slowly, there can be patches of fields everywhere on the roadside, in which some fern-like plants are planted, each plant is about a meter high, and a thumb-sized fruit grows under each leaf, which should be their food. It's just that along the way, there is not even a single dungeon resident in the field, and it is estimated that Matt is afraid that Qin Feng behind them will cause them to panic, so they all return to the city.
The Dark City can be seen in the distance. It is said to be a city, but it is actually not as good as a town in the griffon kingdom. It is better to say here not about the size of the area, but about the building. The Undercity is built around a circular hill with a height of 4,500 meters and a diameter of about 3,4 kilometers, and the low walls are also built into a circle along the foot of the mountain. Layers of houses are built along the mountain, and from a distance it looks like a ladder of steps, descending from high to low.
The gates were wide open, and thousands of dungeon dwellers stood outside them, with Matt at the front. Matt should have already told the residents of the Undercity what had happened, and when Qin Feng led the troops to the front, these underground races knelt down and saluted in unison under Matt's leadership.
Qin Feng looked at the crowd, those Medusa with snake tails, and the muscular minotaurs with a height of more than two meters, and couldn't help but secretly say that he was lucky. If there were two military camp cornerstones in the Undercity, it would be a different story now.
"Dungeon people, although we are different races, I, Alan. Franklin is here to assure you that there will be no racial discrimination in my territory. It makes no difference that we all survive under the protection of the God of Creation. Qin Feng said loudly. He knew that racial hatred could not be solved in a few simple words, and that in order to gain the approval of these aliens, he needed to take concrete action.
After Qin Feng said this, he and Sophie and Jason led 100 crusaders directly into the city, and the rest of the troops were stationed outside the city. Matt led Qin Feng towards the highest part of the Dark City, where his mansion was. Qin Feng looked at the city as he walked, the houses on the side of the road were low and dilapidated, some of the houses had some extremely rudimentary tools at the door, and there were hardly any shops in the city.
These are not difficult to imagine, this underground world does not know how long it has been closed, and the area is small, and the materials are relatively poor. The inhabitants of this area are almost exclusively given autonomy.
At the top of the mountain pack is a large flat land, on which Matt's mansion is built, and the view is wide, from which the whole of the Undercity can be seen. The simple and rough dozen stone houses, which are Matt's city lord's mansion, are also quite simple, but fortunately, the area is quite large, and it can be regarded as a mountaintop mansion on the earth.
"You're a shabby city." Qin Feng stood on the top of the mountain and looked down the mountain for a long time, then turned his head and said to Matt.
"There is no way to do it, the area of the ground is limited, although there are a lot of minerals, but there is too little land available for farming, and with the increase in population in recent decades, our living conditions are also getting worse, which is why I am anxious to go to the surface to see." Matt said embarrassedly.
Matt briefly introduced the situation of the Dark City to Qin Feng, because he is the only force in the entire underground world, so there is no threat of war, the population is developing rapidly, and they don't know how to 'family planning', and now there are nearly 500,000 residents of the Dark City. An increase in population means a decrease in arable land per capita. If you don't have enough food, no amount of mine resources is useless, so you can't eat gold when you're hungry.
It can be said that Qin Feng took a big advantage this time, with the passage connecting to the ground, the resources of the underground world can be continuously supplied to him, and he only needs some cheap living materials, so that these underground residents can be grateful to Dade and get a large amount of gold coins.
That night, Qin Feng, Sophie and others tasted a special style of underground food, although the taste of the grain was average, but the unique livestock underground, the meat taste was indeed excellent, which made Qin Feng addicted to eating. It's just that there are very few quantities of grain that are needed to feed these livestock. This made Qin Feng find another way to make money, and he decided to let Matt raise a large number of livestock, and he provided Matt with enough food. Anyway, there is a lot of undeveloped land in the Kasia Territory, and most of it is fertile, and if it is reclaimed in the future, it will be able to obtain a large amount of food.
Qin Feng explained the direction of the development of the underground world after Matt, vigorously raising livestock, and making every effort to mine gold and refine mercury. He would provide enough food to organize caravans to trade. The Undercity is well planned, and he will send craftsmen to help build new homes in the dungeon.
Early the next morning, Qin Feng led his troops to leave the Dark City and march towards the ground. When he left, he left behind all the food in the Jade Pendant Space, and replaced it with millions of gold coins in the Undercity's warehouse. 'It's a big gold mine. Qin Feng, who was happy, sighed in his heart.
The troops marched towards the city of Kasia for a moment, and by the time they passed the quarry, production had resumed. When Qin Feng returned to Cassia City again, Kate had just arrived with the Winslet family's caravan.
Qin Feng unexpectedly found Kate's father, the patriarch of the Winslet family, Jays, in the team.
"Mr. Jays, welcome to Kasia."
"Your Excellency Lord, I would like to ask for your forgiveness for coming rashly." Jais looked at the young man in front of him who was becoming more and more prestigious, and his tone couldn't help but become respectful. When I befriended him, I just thought that I might be able to use him to contain Lacarden. Who would have thought that in less than a year, he had developed to the point where Lakaden was deflated.
