Xia He infiltrated the imperial capital and directly contacted the intelligence agents left behind by Martin. This is a dark line, different from the surface, their identities are very reliable, and they don't see any relationship with the Marquis's Palace.

Xia He wants to take Ovilla away, which is at best a sin to kill the head.

The emperor asked her to stay, but Xia He refused, naturally she had other thoughts.

The Manpower of the Marquis' Mansion is about a hundred, and Ovilla helps deal with the documents belonging to the nobles of the House of Lords, and Xia He is named in it, although he does not hold a position.

This mess seems to be useless, but Ovilla has learned it very carefully.

The parliamentary system is still quite useful for forming an empire, and she guesses that Asra will definitely not be willing to be a small nobleman, and sooner or later he will establish a country overseas.

It was night, she lay on the long stone strip in the back garden, looking at the blue moon, and felt a little sad in her heart.

Trapped here, the emperor must not have any good intentions, and wants to use himself to control Asla?

But he cares about Asra, far less than Asra cares about himself.

I thought it would be good to come along, alas, Asra, you killed me.

When she complained like this, she suddenly felt a chill in the back of her head, and she wanted to shout, but her mouth was already covered.

"It's me. Xia He whispered in her ear.

"Why are you here!" Ovilla suddenly felt that his face was so hot, I don't know why, I thought I didn't feel deep for Asla, but now he suddenly appeared beside him, and Ovilla's heart beat very hard.

"I'm here to save you. ”

"Let's go back. Ovilla said nervously, she grabbed Xia He's hand, and turned into a small building in the garden. After entering the building, I went directly into the secret room.

Xia He released the imperfect grass house, isolated the inside and outside, and pulled Ovilla into the grass house.

"It's so good, you made it?"

Ovilla couldn't help but ask when she saw the delicate buildings in the cottage.

"You're really ......" Xia He didn't know what to say, why do women always divert their attention?

However, Ovilia recovered quickly, and she continued what she had just said, "I have to go to the House of Lords four days a month, and although it is a routine business, I cannot leave. You said you wanted to save me?"

"I don't have a captain, so I'll have to take you away, but for the time being you can't do what you are now. ”

"How are you leaving, are you ready to return to the Empire?"

"As for it. Xia He released a crystal coffin from his badge, and through the crystal coffin, Ovilla saw another self, closed his eyes, and fell asleep in the crystal coffin.

The clone wasn't wearing clothes, but Ovilla wasn't embarrassed.

Her spiritual power was sent into the crystal coffin, and she was stunned: "How is it possible? She is alive, but she has no soul!"

"What's so strange about that, plants are also alive, and likewise have no soul. ”

"Is this a plant?"

"Vegetative people. ”

"Can this be disguised as me?" Ovilla didn't believe.

"I'll teach you a spell that you can turn her into a living being, disguised as a soul. She can have your memories, and she's not a doppelganger, she doesn't even know you exist. The only connection she has with you is that if you die, she dies at the same time. ”

"I don't like it. ”

"Why?"

Ovilla was silent for a moment, and said, "I just say I don't like it, but if I can leave the city of Juno, I will have to accept her existence." ”

Xia Hedao: "It's not that I can't let you control her, but once you have this means, you can't hide it from that person." Let her develop naturally, she will mistakenly think that she is Ovilla. ”

"What about you?" asked Ovilla, subconsciously.

"I'm here for you. ”

Ovilla stroked the crystal coffin with his hand, the person inside was half the same as himself, how did Asra copy it?

"Alright, I'll go with you. ”

"So happy?"

Ovilla looked at Xia He seriously and said, "You also took a risk when you came to me. If I refuse, you'll be foolish to take this risk. ”

"Stupidity has to come. ”

"Okay, I know what you're thinking, then tell me how to make her alive. "Ovilla is resolute.

Xia He was in the grass house, teaching Ovilla spells. Because of Ovilla's cultivation, his soul is also relatively strong, and it is not a problem to release this half-hung Dao technique.

The two of them tossed the scene in the middle of the night, and Xia He saw that Ovilla was a little tired, so he said: "The grass house will be left for you first, and I will return it to me after you leave." ”

"You're leaving?"

"Well, I have to go to the fortress so that I will not be found missing. ”

"Alas...... Then how will I find you after I leave?"

"You just go back to Cape Storm, we will meet over there, and when the time comes, I will prepare a big ship for you, you can walk on the sea at will, even if the legendary warship of the Holy Thunder Empire is here, don't be afraid." ”

"What about Bloody Mary?"

"She is not so bold, after being injured by the goddess of wealth, she will have to cultivate for many years. ”

Xia He saw that everything was fine with Ovilla today, and he returned to his former calmness. He said a few more words and quietly left the Marquis's Palace.

One day back and forth between the imperial capital and the academy, Xia He was also very hard. After returning to the academy, he threw the plan for the next year written in the imperial capital to Qiu Xuanji and asked him to send it to Long.

The matter here is over, on the academy plan, there are all kinds of consumption clearly marked, Xia He took it out of his space equipment, and he has to put it in the academy, he wants to go to Rhode Island, recruit troops, and then go back to Cape Storm, it is impossible to work in the academy for the time being.

Xia He didn't leave immediately, but still gave some lessons to the students, brought the things to be prepared, and led a student from the lower class, this time he didn't bring the academy mercenaries, but took Medirli, and the group left the academy and went to Rhode Island.

Rhodes Island is on the east coast of the Arcane Empire, and is actually connected to the mainland.

When the tide goes out, there is a wide road that leads to the island.

The road is also more than ten miles long, and it is slippery and uneven, and no one has thought of transforming it into a passable one. Rhode Island is a large peninsula jutting out of the East China Sea. Such a peninsula would theoretically not have a problem feeding tens of millions of people, but Rhode Island has always been barren, with most people living on fishing and a population of several million.

The place was so poor that no nobles were willing to come to the fiefdom, and the empire basically did not collect much taxes here, and had to pay for disaster relief.

Since it became the fiefdom of Xiahe, this place has finally changed, and the people sent by the empire and Xiahe have built a city in the east of Rhode Island, and the location chosen is also a relatively rare plain on Rhode Island.

The area of this plain is not as large as the small plain under the jurisdiction of the city of Juno, and although there are mountains to the east, it cannot completely stop the typhoon. To make this plain suitable for farming, a lot of magical barriers had to be placed in the south. Speaking of which, the cost is much higher than what you get from farming.

Elsewhere, arable land is scattered and less fertile, so the huge island of Rhodes supports less than five million people.

This is a world with mages, and the land yield is much higher than in the normal world.

In the granaries of the empire, there was too much food to eat, and in addition to supplying cavalry mounts, it could also be used to make wine. Ordinary nobles, with a little thought, will not let the people under their rule starve.

However, in Rhode Island, there are still hungry people.

If you have too many children and can't afford them, you have to move out, so the population of Rhode Island has been maintained at this number for thousands of years.

Xia He brought few people this time, took a floating airship, and didn't want to have any trouble on the road, so he walked straight to the destination.

Su Qi is in the Marquis Mansion on Rhode Island, and the sensing distance between them and Xia He is far away, if it is not for the environment of the underground world, if there is no interference, it will be known four or five hundred miles away.

When Xia He's floating airship landed, he saw a group of soldiers standing solemnly in the small square, waiting for his arrival.

The hundred soldiers led by Su Qi looked quite elite, with their bodies wrapped in magic armor, and the badge on their chests was the emblem of the Xiahe family.

"My lord!" Su Qi greeted him and jumped off the demonized war horse.

"Don't be polite, this city has a small population. Xia He felt strange, because Freya would not spend money in vain, the city was not small, within a radius of five miles, but there were hardly any people moving.

The people on the airship all walked down one by one, and Su Qi led everyone to the Marquis's Mansion.

Xia He got on the mount, Su Qi accompanied him, and said to Xia Hedao: "The construction of the city is a drawing given by Lord Freya, you can check it when you go back, and there are detailed marks on it." ”

"Well, how many registered subjects are there in Rhode Island?"

"It's more than four million, and now there are almost five hundred thousand, and they refuse to accept the jurisdiction. ”

"Why?"

"They are all coastal fishermen, who say that they have not been protected by the nobility and refuse to pay taxes. ”

"What do you mean by Freya?"

"The construction of ports, the construction of shipyards, and the expulsion of those who refuse to be governed by Rhode Island. Those who are willing to accept the jurisdiction will pay taxes according to the standard in the future, and provide them with better fishing boat equipment. The other is to recruit armed fishermen, send magicians to train, and in the future, the navy will select people from this, fishing just can't let them starve to death, the income is not high, and the risk does not have to be small. ”

Xia He thought about it, and this is also the reason, ordinary fishing boats may not be able to come back when they go to sea.

In addition to the storm at sea, there are also powerful magical beasts, and when they encounter one, small warships may not be able to stand it.

"How many fishermen are willing to accept the jurisdiction?"

"It's less than 100,000, I've checked it in particular, the quality is okay, it's gathered in the middle of the east, there is a city nearby, there is no nobles in the local area, and it's a magician in charge. When we arrived, the magician said he was willing to take refuge with the adults, so he didn't start a war. ”

"Magician, please come over ......"
