Things in Atlanta are messy, but there's no big problem.

With fifty properties, Ari can easily divide the aristocracy, and can also promote new decoration and furniture in one fell swoop.

As we all know, the price of decoration is much higher than the price of the house, and the construction of the teleportation magic array can easily empty all the savings of a middle-level nobleman, just enough to earn back the cost of building a house......

The town hall was the busiest of the six, and the nobles, worthy of the kingdom's elite, quickly figured out the role of these departments in Atlanta.

And because their rights were directly wiped out by Ari, now they are all idle, and they are basically soaked in the city hall every day, in addition to fighting with each other on the planning plan every day, fighting for the location of the real estate, and constantly urging the city hall to speed up the speed of the East District.

Of course, it was not that no one complained to the king, but what he got was four words, waiting to be called.

At this moment, the nobles suddenly stopped thinking about resisting, and without the support of the royal capital, they had no chance of winning at all. Second, the force value of the Duke's Mansion is a bit terrifying, among which there are not only powerful dragon falcon cavalry, but also the griffin knights who can't even think of it!

Do you want to resist in this situation?

Do you send experience.

After the construction of "Purple Qi from the East" was completed, the nobles let go of even the last trace of dissatisfaction.

In addition to having no rights, the living environment of Atlanta City is not worse than that of the royal capital, and even in terms of planning, it is much better than the royal capital.

As for the right, it's not completely out of the ordinary.

After all, if the City Lord's Mansion wants to govern the entire Atlanta City, it is not enough for the Duke's Mansion alone, as long as they show sincerity, they will also have the opportunity to be reused.

And these people have a bold idea in their hearts!

What if Atlanta City wants to stand on its own feet!

After all, with the current strength of Atlanta City, I'm afraid the kingdom can't do anything about him.

Not to mention the strength that has not yet been shown, that is, the Griffin Knights, which are close to a hundred people, if used properly, the entire kingdom can come and go freely, and it is easy to break the city.

Moreover, the warriors of the north are all famous for their courage and good fighting on the mainland, and they only need to develop for a few years, and it is not impossible to establish a country, if they can obtain a certain status in Atlanta, won't they be the founding ministers of the country at that time?

Therefore, the aristocrats are ostensibly fighting for real estate, but the purpose behind it is not to be familiar with the city hall, after all, the appointment and dismissal of officials is the affairs of the city hall.

Therefore, as soon as the town hall opened every day, the nobles would rush over like a wave, and Gal received them every day according to the service principle of the town hall "wholeheartedly for the people".

Then he thought about it.

These guys are nobles, not commoners, and they don't belong to the object of wholehearted service!

So he simply found a conference room, locked a group of people inside, and then brought tea to them, so that they could come to him again after a unified idea.

Atlanta City is thriving, although there are many small problems, but there are no big problems, and as for a certain amount of time, it may not be impossible to become a legendary city.

Ari is also very satisfied with the current development trend of Atlanta City, as long as the Church of Light is dealt with, Atlantan's medical system will be improved, and the risk of theocratic confrontation can be eliminated, which is seen as killing two birds with one stone.

And all this depends on whether his private interview with Maximus goes smoothly.

Just as Ari changed into a pauper's costume and went to find Maximus, the palace got all the news about Ari's succession ceremony.

Originally, the speed at which the magic array could transmit the message could have been known by the palace yesterday, but Ari deliberately let people suppress it for a few days, so that Tolkien could not respond in time.

Ari never underestimated any opponent, and although Tolkien was his collaborator, he was also an opponent, and even if he needed to rely on his strength, Tolkien would not let him go big.

Yesterday was the most chaotic time in Atlanta, and if Tolkien was given time, he might be able to make some kind of moth!

However, Tolkien would never have imagined that he would really dare to remove all the officials in one go, and even more dare to tear down the entire city of Atlanta and rebuild it in such a short period of time.

What a genius I'm a genius!

While Eri was self-satisfied, Tolkien was on the verge of exploding, his face gloomy and terrifying.

The royal capital.

Inside the royal palace.

Tolkien gritted his teeth, staring at the newly appointed intelligence officer with his eyes, and the words that came out were squeezed out of his teeth almost word by word: "I asked you to stare at Atlanta City with all your might, and this is the result of your staring?

The intelligence officer was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he immediately knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "I have people send news back every two hours, and until this morning, the news that came back is all normal......

"Rubbish! it's all rubbish!" Tolkien rarely couldn't suppress his anger, and even grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it at the intelligence officer, who didn't dare to dodge, and his forehead was suddenly smashed squarely, a big hole was broken, and blood gushed out.

"Get out, get out of here!" Tolkien was even more furious when he saw his miserable appearance.

It's only a few days, but sometimes, a day is the difference between heaven and earth!

If he had known about Ari's plan before it happened, Maximus would have brought a blessing when he went to the succession ceremony!

Even if he knew it after the ceremony, it didn't matter, he could still reach an agreement with other forces, such as the Doyle family, and it would definitely be no problem to drag Eri for a few days, and even if Eri's strength was strong, it would be impossible to completely control Atlanta City, and even everyone would work together to disintegrate and share the benefits.

But now.

In this precious day, the kingdom did nothing, not even knowing what was happening!

By the time the kingdom reacted, it was too late.

Everyone has a share of the benefits, except for him!

The Magic Guild has received immeasurable benefits from that magic innovation incubation base, and the church has also expanded its influence in the north, as for the Doyle family, Tolkien doesn't have to think about knowing what kind of role they play in it, without them, even if Ari has the help of the Magic Guild, don't want to hide the news so tightly.

After venting his anger, Tolkien regained his composure, after all, anger could not solve anything.

After pondering for a moment, Tolkien asked the military minister to come over and asked, "Didn't the first batch of equipment be handed over to the military headquarters yesterday, and did you ask any questions about the 30,000 weapons and armor?"

"It's not just that there is no problem. The Minister of War said with a look of amazement: "Even in terms of performance, it is at least twice as high as the existing equipment level of the kingdom's army. ”

Tolkien stood up abruptly, stared at him with dead eyes, and asked, "You said double, not two?"

The Minister of War nodded and replied, "It's not two, it's two!" It can do this because it is an enchanted weapon!"

"Enchanted weapons?" Tolkien was shocked again, and asked, "Thirty thousand are enchanted weapons?"

"That's right, there's a ton of all sorts of magic wizards, the most of which is this military watch. The Minister of War took a watch with a black appearance from his bosom and placed it on the bookcase in front of Tolkien.

"Military watches, what are they used for?" Tolkien asked, frowning, looking at the rotating hands on the dial.

"After the guidance of the young people, as well as the experimental verification of the military department overnight, the main function of this magic guide named military watch is to calculate the time!" The military minister took out a watch again, put it in his hand, and said: "There are a total of sixty scales on the watch, and the longest and thinnest one is called the second hand...... The day is divided into twelve hours, 1,440 minutes, and 86,400 seconds, which is far better than the original method of calculating the hours. ”

Tolkien looked at the watch for a while, but didn't find any military use for it, and immediately asked directly: "Even so, what use can it be?"

"The old minister didn't understand it at first, but after a night of thinking, he discovered the true value of this watch!" The military minister said with a serious face: "In the war, whoever can grasp the time more accurately will be able to gain an advantage in the local war.

Tolkien thought about it for a moment, and suddenly realized the benefits and thought about it. Still a little incredulous, he muttered to himself: "There is such a good thing, why doesn't he hide it for himself, but take it out." ”

When the military minister heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly: "These things, everything is good, except for one bad." ”

"What's the harm?" Tolkien suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, this is right, there are only good things without harm, how could that shrewd little guy be willing to do it.

"Expensive!" said the military minister with a heartache: "A pair of armor, a thousand gold coins, a pair of long knives, five hundred gold coins, a pair of binoculars, fifty gold coins, a watch, fifty thousand gold coins!"

"Fifty thousand gold coins!, why didn't he grab it!" Tolkien's eyes instantly widened into lanterns.

"He's just robbing!"

The Minister of War told the truth.

Tolkien was choked for a moment, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't he borrow Atlanta City at the cost of four billion gold coins, first two hundred thousand pairs of weapons and armor and two thousand watches." That's just 300 million gold coins. ”

"Watches are fine, but armor and weapons require us to provide raw materials, and the boys' gang say that their iron ore production there can't keep up......"

Tolkien's eyes glared at the boss: "It's so expensive to sell, and you even want us to provide raw materials?"

The Minister of War smiled bitterly: "This price is the price that only comes after we provide raw materials......"

"Why didn't he ......," Tolkien said halfway through, when he suddenly stopped in pain, and then he remembered that they had told you plainly that he was going to rob you......

The military minister said: "Although we want to provide iron ore, although the price is much higher than the market price, but in general, the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages, after all, the kingdom used to be unable to buy a large number of magic weapons even if it had money, and it didn't need to pay real money, just used Atlanta City for two years in exchange for such a large amount of resources, it is definitely not a loss." ”

"Two years, no loss, you know a fart!" Tolkien didn't fight when he heard these two words, and he now understood that the four billion was not bought for two years at all, but for countless years!

As long as Atlanta City maintains its current strength, the kingdom will not be able to take Atlanta City back.

The military minister shook his head and said: "I don't know if it will hurt in the long run, but I know that only by surviving can there be a future, and now that the situation in the Chaman Empire continues to deteriorate, we must be ready to fight with all our might, not to mention just Atlanta City, even if we give up one more province." In my opinion, it is also worth it. ”

"You don't feel sorry for this cub selling Yetian!" Tolkien glared at him fiercely, snorted, and said, "I can see that if that kid develops, the threat will be greater than that of several other empires combined!"

"No matter how big his threat is, as long as he is willing to abide by the contract and hand over four billion gold coins to us in the form of armaments. ”

"The amount of iron produced in the kingdom is not very large, where can I ......" Tolkien said this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at the military minister with excitement and said: "The domestic army uses a maximum of 500 million gold coins, if we sell the remaining magic equipment to the Chaman Empire at a higher price, wouldn't we be able to pass on the cost!"

The military minister was a little puzzled: "But will they want it? Although the price we buy is very high, we don't really have to pay, and the Chaman Empire is really willing to pay such a high price?"

Tolkien shook his head and said: "You underestimate the Chaman Empire too much, although it is down, but the background is still there, in the face of life and death, they will not be reluctant to give up money, if they can get a large number of magic weapons in a short time, no matter how high the price is, they will be willing to eat it, but we have to control the number of weapons, don't let him fight with several other countries, kill us first......"

After Tolkien summoned several important ministers of the kingdom to discuss it, the matter was settled, and the kingdom would act as a middleman, transfer the pressure to the Chaman Empire, and secretly develop its own strength.

At the end of the meeting, the Chancellor of the Exchequer couldn't help but sigh: "I am afraid he did not expect that we would use all the four billion gold coins to buy weapons, even if he produces high, for a long time, he can only do things for us." ”
