For players, August 21oo is definitely a very lively day, because it is a month when a huge empire, or the five largest empires of the entire Big 6, is mired in extremely strict civil strife. Although the civil strife was only a few counties of Hansting at first, but then it immediately spread to the entire territory of Hansting, but before several major powers could see the jokes of the Hansting Empire, the same problem broke out in their own countries.
The players never imagined that there would be so many demons mixed in the territory where they lived, although the chaos in some territories was extinguished in less than a day. But in more places, because the lord is controlled by the devil, and even some territories from the lord to the village chief at the bottom are made of demons dressed in human skin, and the entire territory is controlled by the devil.
Compared to other places, Hugodi was harassed by the Drow elves, but it was undoubtedly the safest place to be. After all, the Drow were just as devastated after the ravages of Edmunds, and they were not able to attack any territory in a short period of time. Now the only thing that is inseparable from the Imperial Party like Chen Kai is the Xianghu Brotherhood, which controls Xianghu Town in the north and several player towns.
It's just that there are too many players in this part, and almost half of the territory of the Hansting Empire is now in chaos, so the courage of these players is starting to grow. If it weren't for the large number of casualties in the siege, it is estimated that they would have already begun to attack the surrounding aboriginal noble towns. After all, the camp they were in was hostile to the nobles of the Hansting Empire, and no matter what kind of offensive they used, it was reasonable, and they didn't even need the consent of the Drow Elves.
However, because the losses in the siege battle were too great, even if the total number of players in Xianghu Town exceeded 100,000, they might not be able to afford it, so they did not dare to attack any aboriginal town even if they had the strength to attack the city. Don't look at the player's powerful catapult bed crossbow or something, you can easily make zuò. But in fact, the things made by the player are a bit worse than the standard weapons in the game.
But one day these players will take the step of attacking the town. After all, the amount of gold that the Drow Elves can support is increasing with the amount of grain traded with the town of Burkna. Eventually, it began to dry up. Although the drow elves have the intention to trade the gold coins of their towns to the players, these gold coins cannot be used, because the drow give their gold coins to the players at a ratio of one to two, but the ratio of the money bags given by the player income system is still one to one. This way, the player will receive more Drow Coins. The more you lose, the more you lose, so no matter how strong the drow is, when it comes to gold coins, players still don't hesitate to sell goods for money rather than drow gold coins.
Although the Drow work very hard to promote their gold, as long as they don't change the exchange rate, players won't be able to ask for it. No one wants the grain worth 1,000 gold coins they shipped to end up in their pockets, and there are only 500 gold coins, and the players will not even be able to recover the capital. Of course in the process. Chen Kai would not bear the unreliable exchange rate of Drow's gold coins, and it was precisely because of his insistence on only receiving Imperial gold coins that the underground grain trade with Drow was almost cut off for this reason.
Of course, Chen Kai's insistence is not unreasonable, in fact, it is not only he who insists, any player who trades with the Drow insists on only receiving Imperial Gold Coins. After all, if they collect Zall gold coins, they will hardly be able to spend them, and Zall gold coins can only be circulated in a few places in Beihu Town and Xianghu Town.
In such a situation, when the Drow's demand for goods increases again, that is when the Drow begin to demand more gold. Although some of the Drows allow players to barter for goods, there are so few items that the Drow can offer. Of course, it is not a small number, but many goods are prohibited in other places. For example, the Drow slave who lost the political struggle. Or dwarven slaves captured in underworld battles, and more. These slaves, who were sold as merchandise by the Drows, were forbidden elsewhere. Of course, it can't be said that it is absolutely prohibited items, at least in Xianghu Town, some players are keen to buy slaves. For example, the beautiful Drow elf slave girl, that is definitely something that many players dream of. It's a pity that the chance of the Drow elf slave girl being sold to the ground is very small, and there are only two of them so far, and in order to buy these two Drow elf girl slaves in Xianghu Town, several players and bosses almost almost fought and the price even rose to tens of millions of gold coins.
This 10 million gold coin is not just an imperial gold coin, but a drow gold coin, so in the end, the price of these two drow elf female slaves actually exceeded 20 million gold coins, which is 20 million RMB according to the official exchange ratio. Of course, in order to get this gold coin, the price paid by the purchaser was definitely more than 20 million. This is because the larger the amount of gold coins you can redeem, the higher the amount of cash you will need to spend. In the end, it basically costs about 150 to 200 yuan for every 100 gold coins, and the total amount is almost 30 million or even 40 million.
Of course, who bought the last two Drow elf slave girls, some players claimed to have seen them in the lord's mansion of Li Xiangrong and President Li. However, more players think that it is someone else, and some even say that it was Chen Kai, the lord of Burkner, who paid for the two drow elf slave girls. Of course, the last kind of remark was definitely a joke, because Chen Kai was very busy at that time, let alone going to Beihu Town to participate in the auction, even if he sent someone there, he didn't have that time and experience. In fact, when he heard that the drow elf slave girl was auctioned for such a high price, the only thought in his mind was to run to rob Beihu Town and snatch back the tens of millions of auction gold coins, and the reason for this was because he was about to be driven crazy by Prime Minister Capello.
Yes! With most of the empire in civil strife, Prime Minister Capello's money bag was about to bottom out, and even if the Emperor Hansting took out nearly 10 million gold coins as expenses, it would be exhausted in less than a week. In the end, Prime Minister Capello, who was looking for money, set his sights on Chen Kai, a rich man, although he knew that Chen Kai could not have too much money left after the destruction of the Jewel Abyss, but his eyeliner told him that Chen Kai was holding at least nearly 30 million gold coins in his hand. So the imperial prime minister, who barely left the imperial capital, walked out of the imperial capital for the first time and ran directly to the small rural place of Burkner through the guò teleportation array. Dead grinding hard bubble snatched nearly 20 million gold coins from Chen Kai's hand.
Although these gold coins were eventually turned into various strategic materials and returned to the town of Burkna. But Chen Kai looked at those so-called strategic materials and had the urge to cry. The four medium-sized magic crystal cannons alone cost nearly ten million gold coins. And it's still an old model. If it weren't for the special case of this prime minister, it would have been impossible and not allowed to equip such a medium-sized magic crystal cannon with the status of the Barony of Burknertown. After all, even if you use the old magic crystal cannon, you still have the ability to kill a holy domain with one shot. Just firing a cannon, the magic crystals consumed were enough to make Chen Kai cry. A high-grade magic crystal worth 500,000 gold coins can only sustain one attack. If the shot misses, then the million gold coins will be directly lost. Even if Chen Kai slapped the table and yelled, the high-grade magic crystals that finally fell into his hand were only ten pieces, and two of them were bought and sent. The other eight were bought for money.
In this way, nearly 14 million gold coins were spent, and the remaining 6 million gold coins were turned into 6,000 war horses worth 5,000 gold coins, as well as various magic scrolls, magic crystals and other materials. Anyway, the last 20 million gold coins were scattered, and nothing other than those war horses could add up to fill a 100-square-meter house.
Of course, in addition to these materials, what made Chen Kai feel depressed was the subsequent canonization. In the absence of a real-life marriage certificate, Su Wan directly obtained the title of Baroness of Burkner, and also obtained a piece of territory with an area of nearly ten hectares located in the northern part of the border of Burkner Town. Although in Chen Kai's opinion, this is just a reward for other people's things, because that territory has already gone out of the border between Burkner Town and Xianghu Town. In other words, this territory nominally belongs to Su Wan, and Chen Kai and his troops need to use troops to get it back.
If this canonization is not a cheat. Then the later canonization directly detonated Chen Kai's harem. Yes! The townsfolk of the entire town of Burkna knew that the lord's harem had been detonated, and the reason was Alyssa? Copper rings? Lord Lapston. Do you know that Chen Kai's original name should be Kaichen? Saint? Lapston. It was only after obtaining the Berkner Manor that he got the later noble name, but in the eyes of the imperial leadership, Chen Kai was still surnamed Lapston. Therefore, in fact, if Su Wan wants to obtain the title of Baroness, it is Baroness Lapston who should get the title of Baroness the most, not Baroness Berkner. Although the latter means that she has the right to rule the entire town of Berkner when Chen Kai dies in battle, the former means that she is Chen Kai's wife in addition to the ownership of the territory.
But because she and Chen Kai are not married in reality, it is impossible to be crowned with the title of Baroness of Lapston. But in the end, the title of Mrs. Lapston was crowned on Alyssa's head, and almost at the moment when Prime Minister Capello's envoy announced the title, the cold sweat on Chen Kai's head instantly turned into a waterfall, and he could almost imagine that Su Wan's mood at the moment was absolutely bad, very bad, very bad. However, no matter how bad Chen Kai's mood was, it was definitely very happy to have a girl's mood, because the next moment the girl threw herself directly into Chen Kai's arms and used his pair of murder weapons that could squeeze people to death against Chen Kai's chest. Of course, soon our Lord Lapston was viciously targeted by her future eldest woman, and then shrank behind Su Wan's back with a shy face.
In addition to the two ladies, Xu Fei and Su Xinghe also received the canonization or promotion of the title, and Chen Kai's baronial title was slightly raised by one level, but unfortunately he was still not a hereditary baron. Twenty million gold coins to buy a bunch of materials, plus a few titles, may be the most cost-effective deal Chen Kai and the others have made. Of course, Chen Kai initially thought that this was just a benefit from the previous deal, and then realized that this was just a prelude to Prime Minister Capello asking for more money.
The promotion of the title also means that Chen Kai needs to pay more lord taxes, and he has to bear the taxes of Su Wan and Alyssa. The total tax of the two people is nearly 100,000 gold coins, and Chen Kai's own taxes are more than 500,000 gold coins. What's even more deceptive is that Xu Fei also has to pay taxes after they get the title, because they also have territories, which are basically either the north or the east of Burkner Town, and they are basically the territories of the players who are now accused of being under the command of the Drow Elves. Xu Fei's combined territory was enough to nearly double the expansion of Burkner Town. But it is all in other people's territory, but Chen Kai still needs to pay taxes for it. All the taxes add up to Chen Kai and need to hand over nearly three million gold coins to Prime Minister Capello, and Chen Kai's face was green when this money was handed over.
"Your sister! This dead fat man is too ruthless! Give us someone else's territory! He was embarrassed to collect taxes! Fei Yun looked at his territorial proof. Then look at the tax bill signed by the tax officer. If it weren't for the fact that the territory was engraved with a magical mark, it could not be destroyed. He almost tore the brown paper in anger.
"No matter how ruthless! He is also the Prime Minister of the Empire! Chief! How much money is left? Zhao Tiezhu looked at Chen Kai, who was like a bitter gourd face, and asked softly, of course, he took a look at Su Wan's face by the way. After all, if Su Wan's face was not good, his dinner would turn into charred steak.
"Ahem! If you have time to care about my private money, you might as well think of ways to make more money! If the prime minister comes a few more times, I guess we'll all have to drink the northwest wind! Damn it. I've never seen the prime minister who likes money like this! Chen Kai glared at Zhao Tiezhu fiercely, he was most afraid of mentioning the words private money now, because he didn't have much private money now, and it was all controlled by Su Wan.
"That's a good point! But now there are only a few ways to get money! Now there is chaos in all parts of the empire, and the price of grain has almost increased several times! But the grain-producing Southern Territories are also chaotic areas. The grain trade of the Thor Guild can be guaranteed for now, but it is impossible to expand it! "Xu Fei now holds the title of Lord Figo, but unfortunately he would rather not have such a title, because a lord title requires a territorial tax of 100,000 gold coins. Watching the gold coins slip out of his pocket with a bang, Xu Fei's mood was terrible.
"Due to the black dwarves, we can't carry out the arms trade on a large scale for the time being! Now the black dwarves in the underground are about to become otaku, and they don't know what to do in the underground city every day! Do they want to wait until the drow are strong enough to destroy them? "Su Xinghe is extremely angry with the black dwarves now, of course, referring to the dwarves underground, and the black dwarves on the ground have a good relationship with him. It's just that most of the black dwarves who come to the ground don't have high iron-striking skills, and can only make relatively low-level weapons and armor. High-grade weapons and armor they have no way to make zuò.
"In the arms trade, Drow weapons can actually be smuggled more! But the quality of their weapons is not good, and the good ones are used to arm those players! "It's not the first time Guan Yu has attended a regular meeting. But what was rare was that for the first time, he actually began to calculate things other than fights.
"Except for weapons and food! Actually, we can trade other things! For example, something like demonized spider silk! Although the price of demonized spider silk has risen a bit outrageously now, it is still a bit profitable if you operate it well! Wang Xuewen pointed to the demonized spider silk robe on his body and said, this time the price of demonized spider silk began to fall rapidly after a period of speculation, Chen Kai and they made a lot of money in this speculation, if it weren't for this, it would not have been possible to be slaughtered by Prime Minister Capello.
"Forget about Spider Silk! The price is still a bit high, and the most important thing is that not every player can afford to wear the Enchanted Spider Silk Robe! If we have our own source of spider silk, it's better to say, the key problem is that our spider silk comes from the hands of Drow, and it is not a good thing to be too strong and drow! Chen Kai waved his hand and directly vetoed Wang Xuewen's suggestion, the price of demonized spider silk was still inflated in his opinion, and it simply exceeded the purchasing power of many mage players. The same magic robe, made of demonized spider silk, is not necessarily much cheaper than the demonized mythril robe.
"What else do the Drows have in their hands that are worth buying and selling? Are we really going to be slave traders? Fei Yun lay on the table and said helplessly, in his opinion, there was little buying and selling value for anything other than slaves in the hands of the Drows, but the slave trade was illegal in the empire. Of course, the so-called illegality is only relative, because as long as you have enough power and channels, the illegal slave trade can also be turned into a legal labor export. Maybe there is no problem with buying from Zhuoer, but if you take it for resale, let alone say that they can't get by on their conscience, it is a very strict problem to sell it or not.
"No! Absolutely no way to be a slave trader! Let's not talk about making money or not! The consequences of the change of faction alone are not something we can afford! Chen Kai instantly vetoed Fei Yun's suggestion, becoming a slave trader, even if he allowed the slave trade, it would cause a crazy drop in the kindness value for Chen Kai, the lord, and if he was not careful, he would change from the current orderly kindness to chaos and kindness.
"So what else can we do?" This question was hovering in everyone's heads, because making money had become the most important thing in front of Chen Kai and them. Without money, it is impossible to recruit players, or even maintain the town's guard system, and most importantly, they enter the game not to have fun but to make money. If you lose all your money in the game, it is estimated that none of Chen Kai and them will be willing.
"There's really no way, let's go rob! Rob your neighbors to the north! Chen Kai's eyes stared at Donnie who was snoring on the ground, and he suddenly thought of an idea, an idea that could both level up and make money, and that was to loot those players in the north. Although this move sounds a bit crazy, Chen Kai now shows that he really has a foundation in this area. First of all, he had the most powerful human cavalry in the entire Hugodi, and after the cavalry of the Drow Elves was crippled by Edmunds, there was basically no cavalry in the entire Hugodi territory that could fight against his remnants. Although the player has a large number of horsemen, they are not regular cavalry. At the same time, Chen Kai's subordinates are all cavalrymen transferred from horse thieves, and when it comes to things like robbery, they are definitely more good than Chen Kai. The most important point is that the players who robbed Xianghu Town, Chen Kai will not lose his kindness points, because they are originally hostile.
But the biggest risk of doing so is that it could lead to a large-scale war between the two sides, and if one is not careful, the town of Burkner will be caught in a war with the Xianghu Brotherhood in the north.
