The convoy slowly disappeared into the corner of the street with the wind and snow, and Weina, who stopped on the mysterious street, had a trance-like expression, and her dark blue eyes did not regain focus until a long time later.

There is unspeakable reluctance in her eyes, and every time she partes, it is always the moment when the girl's mood is at its lowest.

But after Wei Na turned around, the expression on her face quickly disappeared, and her face returned to its former coldness.

After Li De left, the business queen who galloped the business world and made a name for herself in Green City returned.

This girl's gentleness can only be felt by the owner of this mage tower, and no one else is qualified to do so.

Stomping~

Stomping~

In the cold winter moon of ice and snow, a long convoy of 30 carriages braved the wind and snow on the main road, and hundreds of warriors in thick clothes rode strong unicorns with the blood of monsters running back and forth to protect the convoy.

Li De sat in the middle, in a luxurious and spacious carriage pulled by eight pure white unicorns

It was the first time he had traveled in a horse-drawn carriage to a city hundreds of kilometers away.

In the past, Castro had always acted as a mount, and under supersonic flight, the distance of hundreds of kilometers could not be taken for an hour.

However, this was a special experience for Li De, who had never had a similar experience, and the carriage traveled very slowly, which also slowed down the fast pace of his life in the past, and gave him more time to think.

"Lord Lide, this road to Ainos City has been repaired by us, and it is now much smoother, if you go there when Ainos City was just established, the experience may not be so wonderful."

In the luxurious carriage, there is a wooden table carved with delicate and cumbersome patterns in the middle, and all kinds of snacks, fruits, and teas are all available on the wooden table.

Li De sat in the inner position, while Laurent, the president of the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce, sat opposite him with his increasingly fat figure.

The carriage was extremely wide, and there was still room for seven or eight people, but it seemed a little empty when there were only two people inside.

"At present, the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce has undertaken 9% of the commodity trading in Ainos City, and we have begun to prepare commercial streets in Ainos City......

Although Li De didn't speak, Laurent's eyebrows fluttered, "You said before that the biggest way to make profits in business is monopoly.

At present, our Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce has monopolized the commerce of Ainos City.

Almost all adventurers will buy supplies from us......"

"If it weren't for the fact that those adventurers didn't have too much kimpuk in their hands, I'm afraid that our profits would have been even greater during this time......"

"Master Li De, you may not know that those adventurers are really indescribably eccentric, as long as they are given a task, even if it is to send them to death, as long as the price is high, there are countless people who are willing to ......

The goddess is above, and these lost planes of life are so strange......"

"There are also construction tasks, and many adventurers who are already professionals are also willing to participate in building roads and bridges as long as they are given enough silver Puke......

They are professionals, why are they so happy to do what these civilians do? It's hard to understand......"

Hearing Laurent's babbling muttering, Li De couldn't help but be a little amused.

This should be the true image of most players in the eyes of the aborigines.

The behavior is bizarre and confusing, and they are willing to do anything for money or other rewards, and there is no bottom line at all.

In the eyes of the aborigines, players with such an image are objects of contempt, so many aborigines are extremely disdainful of players.

It's not that they look down on the players in the first place, it's that a lot of people act in a way that makes the aborigines look down on them.

A noble spellcaster would be willing to run errands for a commoner or merchant for a small reward.

It's a shame on everyone.

So the blasphemy disaster of slaughtering players before was just a detonating point, and dissatisfaction had already been planted.

"Laurent, the growth environment of the adventurer of the Lost Plane is completely different from ours", Li De rarely patiently explained a few words to this subordinate who had been with him for three years.

"So when dealing with these adventurers, don't be too surprised, empathize, when you go to another world, and you can continue to be resurrected and reborn.

Will your actions change as well?

Although they behave strangely, but in other words, are these adventures very easy to command?

As long as you give it to Pure Gold Puke, they can be at your disposal, and in this respect, these adventurers are the more suitable helpers. ”

Hearing this, Laurent nodded in agreement.

"You're right, it's because of their eccentric personality that we can direct them, or we wouldn't be able to get the professionals to dig the ground and dig a manure pit for us......"

Li De shook his head, didn't say much in this regard, and directly changed the topic.

"Laurent, in the future, Ainos City will definitely become a new big city, which is an unprecedented opportunity for Golden Wheat Merchant.

This is an opportunity to become a giant chamber of commerce.

And in this process, if you want to occupy a place, you have to pay more price. ”

Although he can command at will, it is still very necessary to mobilize Laurent's enthusiasm.

"You don't need to be reserved, this city has a deep connection with the Crimson Mage Tower, and this time I went to Ainos City to build a branch of the Scarlet Mage Tower."

The relationship between Ainos City and Li De is a top secret among top secrets, and as far as Stanley and Harrison are currently aware, everyone else is in a state of ignorance.

Even the 17th-level Son of the Northland, Grote, who has been in the Dark Covenant's top combat power, has no way of knowing about this matter.

The Shadow of the Dawn Project is the highest-level plan in the City of Dawn, and no one who is related to it, no matter how strong they are, will never know about it.

The Dark Covenant is heavily invested in the city of Aenos, and Stan uses the excuse that he sees the potential of the adventurer and the future of Prince Aenos.

Laurent's eyes lit up instantly when he heard the news that Li De was going to build a branch of the Scarlet Mage Tower.

"Master Li De, how does the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce need to cooperate with you to build the Mage Tower? As long as you give the order, we will do it! ”

This is a rare opportunity to show loyalty, and it has been a long time since Laurent has had the opportunity to pat his chest like this in front of Lide.

"Don't worry, your participation is indispensable in this matter."

Li De nodded, his eyes deep.

Lysle City is an important node in the future, the key to controlling the players, so it has been a key target for him for a long time.

It's risky, high-risk, high-yield.

The Covenant of Darkness, the Crimson Mage Tower, and even the Centaurs of the Low Hills and Hills, the Fish-Man Tribe were all the bargaining chips he put into the city of Ainos.

"The burden borne by the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce is not light."

As the only chamber of commerce in charge of basic materials and the lower market, the Jinmai Chamber of Commerce is the main force in the construction of Ainos City at this stage.

Because of Prince Ainos's own bad reputation, coupled with the fact that some black hands of the empire are secretly working in the shadows, not many people in Green City will choose to come to Ainos City for business and trade.

Moreover, there are adventurers in this city who are despised by the aborigines, and these poor and stupid guys really have no business opportunities, which further exacerbates the commercial poverty of Ainos City.

Therefore, Ainos City can only rely on the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce to support it now, and fortunately, under the protection of the Scarlet Mage Tower, the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce has become the largest chamber of commerce in Green City, and the materials mobilized can fully support the development of the city.

Li De didn't say much more to Laurent, and looked out the glass window.

The area near the sea and low hills in Green City is a plain terrain, and the ice and snow outside the window cover the earth, and there are obviously less pedestrians, even players are not willing to go out in the ice and snow to fight monsters and upgrades.

Squeak ~ squeak ~

The wheels of the carriage crushed the ice slag with a crisp cracking sound.

Li De's thoughts also began to slowly diverge.

The future positioning of Ainos City, how to control the player, the role of the Scarlet Mage Tower, and the relics of the gods of Riesr City that have made him pay great attention to it recently.......

......

January 3, 3525.

The city of Ainos, shrouded in the cold, did not come to a standstill, but because the manor of the lord of Ainos City began to distribute a large number of construction tasks, the whole city took shape in a hot atmosphere.

What was different today was that hundreds of centaurs had suddenly poured out of the city's manor, and at the same time, the city's master, Prince Ainos, was waiting for something at the gate of the manor.

This unusual scene attracted the attention of many players, and even many players began to deliberately crouch to see if they could receive any tasks.

After waiting for up to three solar hours.

On the main avenue that had been built, a team of luxurious carriages slowly approached the wind and snow under the player's gaze, and the banner of the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce above the carriage fluttered in the wind, and finally stopped at the gate of the city lord's manor.

To the player's surprise, after the carriage stopped, Prince Ainos stepped forward in person and then greeted a mage wearing silver thread embroidery and a near-perfect temperament to dismount the carriage.

, where is this handsome??

Behind the invincible appearance of the mysterious figure in the carriage, the player who had been waiting by the side for a short moment to trigger the mission was instantly stunned.

The shouting and screaming of exclamations were endless.

"Am I blind?? How could anyone be so handsome?? ”

", this NPC is invincible, this look, Nima is willing to pay a lot of money."

"Why do I feel like such a handsome idol in my family isn't even a fart in front of this NPC, woo woo, I'm going to take off my fans......"

Players who took crazy screenshots quickly posted the scene on the forums, and it immediately sparked a huge discussion.

Almost all of them were surprised by the high appearance of the other party.

There are even female players who can't stand this stimulation and directly establish an NPC appearance list, one for each sex,

On the male side, after the picture of Li De wearing a weaving robe and being surrounded by Prince Ainos and a group of centaurs in the center was sent, he was directly liked and voted by countless fanatical female players, and directly dominated the list.

Later, since he climbed this list, no one has been able to shake his position, not even a handsome elf.

At this time, Li De naturally didn't know about these messy things, and under the greeting of Prince Ainos, he entered this so-called city lord's manor.

Because the previous Akatsuki territory was too dilapidated, this manor was also very dilapidated, not to mention compared with the city lord's manor in Green City, even the manor of normal merchants in Green City could not be compared.

The courtyard walls are low, the houses are dilapidated, the furniture is old, and if it weren't for the hundreds of tall centaurs supporting the scene here, I'm afraid it would have been even more shabby.

Entering the hall, Li De sat on the main seat of the main hall, and Prince Ainos, the nominal master, was not even qualified to sit down, so he could only stand next to him.

Glancing left and right around the room, the magic lamp was not dim, and the fireplace on the right was crackling with charcoal and wood, and the surging heat made the room a little warmer, but it was also limited.

The wooden floor was a little dull, but it was dragged brightly, and there were several oil paintings hanging on the surrounding walls, faintly showing the yellowing marks of time.

There was no one else in the room except for the two, Li De did not speak, and Prince Ainos did not dare to say much, bowing his head slightly and waiting for his master's order.

After a moment, Li De came back to his senses and looked at Prince Ainos, who was standing respectfully in front of him, and gestured to the seat next to the long wooden table.

"Sit down, Ainos."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Ainos put his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and performed a standard aristocratic salute.

At the same time, the young prince's face was very worried.

This was the first time he had met Li De, to see his ancestor.

There is no grace to speak of, the suppression of the bloodline is not something he can resist at all, and every cell in his body is surrendering to the figure in front of him.

Both awe and worship and fear.

Li De looked at the uneasy Ainos with a strange expression, the legend of this prince is simply countless in the Nolan Empire, of course, most of them are ridicule and contempt.

But in a country of blood orthodoxy, it is strange that a prince born to a maid is not despised.

Prince Ainos has survived until now and has not been played to death, and Li Decai feels that it is a miracle.

Could it be that this guy is really the protagonist of Destiny??

Feeling furious by Li De's strange eyes, Prince Ainos stood up again and said uneasily, "Your Majesty, the city of Ainos is shining because of your arrival.

No matter what task you give, I will do it to the death......"

"Don't be nervous, sit down and say", Li De waved his hand with a smile.

"This time I didn't come to arrange a mission, and the current Ainos City doesn't have the ability to accomplish any tasks.

Your main task at this stage is to build the whole city well......"

Seeing the smile on Li De's face, Prince Ainos eased a lot in his heart, and sat down for the second time, but his heart was still nervous.

"There are many difficulties in the construction of Ainos City at this stage, and the price to pay for a city to build from scratch is very heavy.

However, as a gathering place for adventurers from the Lost Plane, Ainos City also has many innate conditions that other cities do not have.

It's a more open and inclusive city, and while everything starts from scratch, it's easier to build a perfect city. ”

Li De was quite touched after saying this, wasn't the City of Dawn built from scratch? At the beginning, there were 200 blood clans, and now the population is more than 100,000, no, 150,000, and ten days ago, the population plundering operation has come to a perfect end, and a huge city has been born little by little in his hands.

The city of Ainos in front of him is so similar to him, but it is far luckier than him, the city of dawn can be supported by him, but the city of Ainos still has him as a backer.

"Your Majesty, I am lucky to be able to build a city like this, and I will seize this opportunity." Ainos was respectful.

Li De waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Aenos, I'm here to build a mage tower here."

Build a mage tower??

Hearing this, Prince Ainos stood up instantly, with irrepressible surprise in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, this is amazing!!"

As a prince from the capital of Nolan, although he doesn't mix well, he still has a lot of vision, and if Ainos City, which is basically at the level of a rural town, can have a mage tower, it will undoubtedly be a shot in the arm for everyone.

Li De smiled slightly.

The establishment of the branch tower is not only the need for the development of the Crimson Mage Tower to a certain extent, but also his support for Ainos City, and it is also a bold idea for him.

This mage tower will be completely open as he said, as long as you have the contribution of the mage tower you can come in and learn magic, and all the magic prices are clearly marked.

And except for a small number of gifted spellcasters, he does not recruit a large number of players to become fixed mage tower members, but more uses contribution points or points to drive players.

There are even many interesting things about his idea, such as players can contribute the magic they get to exchange points, there are magic like magic scrolls that can be learned by others, and the mage tower can sell them on their behalf, allowing players to improve magic together, and so on.

The benefits of this may not seem obvious at first, but as the player grows, the benefits will definitely increase.

On the other hand, Li De didn't plan to get too much money through this mage tower, but more to help Ainos City gather the popularity of players when Ainos City was blank, and also increase his influence among players.

The time span of this layout can take up to three to five years, or even longer, to see results.

The first year or two was more for nothing.

But with the current size of the Scarlet Mage Tower, building a secondary tower is easy and without the slightest pressure.

"The only problem now is that after the Mage Tower is established, there must be a caster who can control it enough, and the level must be at least 15 or above......"

After thinking for a while, Li De looked at the excited Ainos and smiled, "I will arrange someone to select the site later, I need a large enough area." ”

"Your Majesty, even if you use the City Lord's Manor, it doesn't matter, I will definitely do my best to carry out your orders."

The smile on Ainos' face could not be concealed.

Li De nodded slightly, and after chatting with the other party about the location of the site, he put this matter aside for the time being, this time he came to Ainos City not only to build the Mage Tower.

"Ainos, do you have any plans for the future development of the Akatsuki Territory?"

Ainos City is only a small part of Akatsuki's territory.

"Your Majesty, I don't think we will be able to develop other land in the short term", Ainos showed a wry smile on his face, "Ainos City has already involved all of our energy, and we can't pull out our hands in a short time. ”

Li De shook his head, "No, Ainos, you must now determine how Ainos City and even the Akatsuki Territory will develop in the future.

This is your course, and as the captain of the great ship in the city of Ainos, you must have a course to guide you so that you can ignore the storm.

Although the Akatsuki territory is very barren and dangerous to the outside world, the main sources of threat are centaurs and fishmen by the sea.

But now the situation is that the centaurs are our allies, and the fishmen of the deep sea are our partners.

The time and place are favorable, and you have almost all of them.

Even a black hand hidden in the shadows will never attack you again anytime soon.

Grote of the Dark Covenant is in Ainos City, and I will then put him in charge of your safety.

After you have no worries, you have to think about how the Akatsuki Territory will develop in the future. ”

Prince Ainos is a pawn that Stanley is ready to push out, but if the other party is really a waste, Li De will not continue to support the other party.

Letting the other party lead the development of the Akatsuki territory can be regarded as a test for Prince Ainos, and if the test is successful, the city will still be in his hands.

If he doesn't pass the test, then Prince Ainos can only become a pawn on the surface, and he will arrange someone else to take over Ainos City.

The city was so important in his territory that he couldn't let anything go wrong.

Hearing Li De's words, Ainos took a deep breath, and then knelt down on one knee under Li De's gaze, looking directly into his eyes with an extremely solemn expression.

"Your Majesty, Ainos won't let you down."

"The enemy of the royal capital of Nolan, who once shamelessly humiliated my mother's bones......"

"Trampled me into the mud and trampled ......"

"The most shameful insult ever ...... me"

"I once tasted all the darkness of this world......"

"I will return all this, my sword is not stained with blood, and my lover is still waiting for my return in the royal capital......

Ainos City will be the starting point for my revenge! ”

"Your Majesty, one day, your bloodline, Ainos Cachar, will ascend to the royal capital, kill all enemies, and take the crown of the Nolan Empire for you!"

"The entire Nolan Empire will be prostrate at your feet!"
