440. Killiry's fear
On the other hand, if in reality, kings and rulers cannot profit from trade and transactions, then the continuous profits and snowballing, more and more powerful are those powerful and princes, that is, the great demons, in reality, such a historical evolution process, in the end, the powers will become stronger and stronger, and eventually further threaten the position of the nominal ruler, and then when a powerful has the ambition to replace, the prelude to war and overthrow will begin.
But this is hell, so no matter how powerful the big demon and demon lord like Killiri is, no one can overthrow Mammon's rule, and it will take about a thousand years to wait for such a big demon who can challenge Mammon to appear, and in such a process, the king is also growing his own strength, and even if Mammon does not have much strength growth, but because of his particularity and immortality, even if he is overthrown, it will not help - on the contrary, it may be because he killed Mammon, It is not cost-effective to become the king of the new kingdom of wrath and death, and thus become the target of other kings, because the new demons, without the symbol of original sin and sufficient strength, can easily be killed on the throne that is not yet hot.
This is hell, many things need absolute strength to guarantee, and many things cannot be understood according to normal logic and the laws of human history.
Beria did not do this for the sake of gain and consolidation, but simply because of his grace and nobility, and his laziness—he hated seeing the devil in his form, and he did not like the desolation of hell, but he wanted to change it. So he took the purchase and order, while ordering that all demons in Babulaka need to dress and take human form, while buying the necessities needed to build his kingdom, building stones, decorative materials, food, clothing, etc., while collecting taxes from Babraka's commerce, and his men also plundered. Mining gold. and the manufacture of necessities to offset and continue to exchange for the gold needed to support the economic functioning of the entire kingdom.
I have to say, for the elegance and nobility of his own kingdom, and for the laziness of being too lazy to take care of things. Beria is on the system of self-development of the country. Still well done.
And because of that. Beria is also one of the main forces of the denial faction who is reluctant to return to the ground, and the kingdom is developing well, and returning to the ground is rejuvenating. And he also needs to rebuild the kingdom, and at the same time he needs to face the church and heaven, so Beria, who is lazy and may still want to return to heaven, is naturally reluctant to do so.
If there is no ambition and desire, and no motivation for revenge and revenge, who wants to abandon the country that has been formed and is running well, and move and conquer the whole country?
So perhaps the most difficult to convince is Beria.
Therefore, Zhou Chu just planned to take a look and pass by, although Beria was against it, he would not stop it, at this point, the possibility of a conflict between the two was not very high.
"So, there is a place in Babraca City that specializes in buying and exchanging gold coins?" Zhou Chu asked.
"Yes, and in addition to the seasonal and irregular release of the acquisition list, the lord of Babraca, as well as the levy office set up by Beria, and some big merchants, have been using Hell Gold Coins for a long time to purchase jewelry, gems, monster materials, etc., so there is no need to worry about not having a place to exchange gold coins."
The reason why Lika said this was also to consider that Zhou Chu and the others did not have many hell gold coins.
But in fact, it is not nothing, as the city lord of Killiri, when leaving, he naturally brought out all the hell gold coins and wealth that he could use, and after signing the soul contract, all his wealth is also Zhou Chu and Alaisa's, although he is still in custody, but Zhou Chu and Alaisa both know that as long as they open their mouths, Killiri will undoubtedly hand them all over, at this point, once the demons are loyal, their loyalty is often undoubted, and in this regard, it is even much better than other races.
And Zhou Chu didn't plan to ask for the hell gold coins of Killiri, they were not without wealth, half of the royal wealth of Noorliste that they plundered was given to the British Empire, and the remaining half, one-third bribed Mammon, and in their hands, there was still two-thirds of the half left, which was still a considerable amount of wealth, and only needed to be exchanged for hell gold coins, of course, if it was only for Ralmi and Alesa to consume, it wouldn't cost much at all, even if there was something they wanted to see, if they were bleeding heavily, It is still supportable.
So Zhou Chu quickly determined the approximate itinerary.
"Then after we enter Babraka, we will find a place closer to the levy to live, and then go to exchange gold coins, and then stay for a day, and then move on, Kiriri you contact Marki, see if he can get to Babraca during the time we stay, some things and plans need to be changed, and at the same time let's see what the demons of Babraka think of us and returning to the ground, after all, after entering the realm of laziness, we have not officially contacted the demons here, The news should spread soon, and the time spent here is just right to see the reaction. ”
Killiri agreed, and the others began to discuss and express their opinions about the view from the carriage window, or the demons who behaved somewhat differently from humans, and the buildings.
As the road became more and more wide, and the carvings and buildings on both sides became more and more dense, as well as the increasing number of carriages and convoys, pedestrians, at night, Zhou Chu and his party finally saw rows of walls like street lamps, tall stone carved magic light source columns and the end of the road that continued to stretch, but a wall that was as white as the moon.
The wall seemed to be more decorative and symbolic than defensive, not high, but long enough, that the continuous wall stretched to the end of the horizon without showing any signs of turning a corner, and not far away, a little white light could be seen like the stone carved magic light pillars of the road.
"It seems that Babraca is the biggest city in hell, and it lives up to its name." Zhou Chu said that with the limit of his vision, he still did not see the end of the wall.
"Cut." Gao Ming appropriately expressed his disdain, "Is there an imperial capital that is big?" ”
"Are you kidding?" Zhou Chu glanced at Gao Ming, "Compare the real and modern city with the Middle Ages, and it is still an ethnic group that constantly survives the fittest as the basis for development and survival?" ”
"You can't tell the area and population of the imperial capital, right?" Gao Ming was proud, and dared him to mention this stubble, just for this.
"I'm not a computer or a database, so how can I know everything."
But Gao Ming's smug smile had not yet faded, and the voice of Larmi next to him rang out.
"The land area of the imperial capital is 16,410 square kilometers, of which the plain area is 6,338 square kilometers, accounting for 38.6%, the mountainous area is 10,072 square kilometers, accounting for 61.4%, the urban area is 87.1 square kilometers, and the permanent population is 20.693 million according to the population statistics in 2012."
Gao Ming's smile immediately froze there, and then he said with a grudge on his face, "Do you want this?" ”
The butterfly applauded gloatingly, but Zhou Chu noticed that the soul fire in Killiri's eyes flashed continuously, so he asked.
"What's the matter, Killiri."
"Although I don't understand the vocabulary of your world's calculating size, but the number of people should refer to the number of people, right?"
"Yes." Zhou Chu nodded.
"Are you talking about the imperial capital a country or a city?" To be cautious, Killiri asked such a question first.
"It's the capital of our country, the same place of rage and death in the Land of Wrath and Death."
Killiri was silent.
Everyone looked at the necromantic knight with some curiosity, and Gao Ming urged: "Killiri, you ghost, what do you want to say." ”
"Forgive my ignorance and short-sightedness, I ......," Killiri was silent for a moment, "I can't imagine what a terrifying presence and sight a city of more than 20 million people is, how it exists, and how it works, I have to admit that it shocks and incomprehensible, and ...... fear."
Zhou Chu looked at the others, and when he spoke in Kiliri, Lika, who had already reacted, also looked sluggish, he looked at Gao Ming a little helplessly, when new knowledge and incomprehensible facts and existence appeared, people who held old knowledge systems and cognitions encountered shocks, they were all like this, maybe for modern people, this does not seem to be an incredible thing, in China, cities with a population of millions abound, but for the medieval continent, Even for hell, which may have a larger population than the medieval continent, a city of tens of millions of people is indeed beyond imagination, not to mention that Killiri died during the Second Holy War, and the continent at that time may only have a population of a few million.
"I won't be able to explain this for a while, but what are you afraid of, Killiery?"
"Quantity." Because he had already dedicated the soul fire to Aretha, Killiri had nothing to hide, and said truthfully, "Even if it is not according to the ratio of every ten low-level demons in the demons, there will be a middle-level demon, but according to the fact that every hundred human beings can appear soldiers who can fight well, every thousand people can produce one excellent magician and general, and every ten thousand people can appear a person with wisdom or strength like Lord Cadias's companion, I can't imagine, If the city that Lord Kadias spoke of came to this worldly realm, or descended to hell, would we be able to resist?
