Chapter 497: Mage Regiment (1)

After everyone finished speaking, Xia He said: "If you just want to be a marquis, or a duke, a grand duke or something like a nobleman, everything I have in Rhodes Island is meaningless." Say one thing that reassures everyone, sooner or later I will build an independent country, in my country, bloodline is a meaningless thing, whatever you want, you can rely on your own efforts to fight, what you can leave to future generations is only wealth, not power. ”

Xia He's words, everyone was listening carefully.

"I will abolish the aristocracy of the upper and lower houses of the empire, and what I give you is a relatively fair system, the citizen lord system. Once a citizen is a citizen, anyone can begin to accumulate merit and gain imperial power. I will compile the detailed system into laws, and these laws will ensure that the merits of each of you will not be taken by others. ”

Xia He was in the study, and explained in detail a set of systems that imitated the Shenzhou Empire.

Among the magicians here, how many of them are of noble birth, and even if there are a few noble mages, they are all barons or even lords with no hereditary power.

The system of the Shenzhou world has been relatively fair, and everyone has a chance. Except for the fact that power cannot be passed on to future generations, the rest of the wealth and the like can be inherited by future generations as an inheritance. However, there are rules for the inheritance of the Shenzhou Empire, and each descendant has the right to inherit, and the wealth will be divided.

For example, if you have accumulated 20 billion gold coins yourself, and you have five children, each child can only have 4 billion gold coins.

This avoids the unrestricted concentration of wealth, and encourages people to convert their wealth into meritorious deeds, albeit with a low conversion rate, but with a lot of balance. How much wealth you have and how much you donate is cost-effective, there have long been precise calculations.

Xia He first announced the recent developments to boost morale, and then announced the future development plan to stabilize people's minds. He observed very nuancedly, and the core members were satisfied with the system.

That's good, and it saves a lot of trouble.

"After the Dragon Island is completely defeated, I will support Lynch and continue to attack the Green Forest Continent, it will be a long process. But the Dragon Island, which does not belong to anyone, is ours. Xia He arrived word by word. Although Rhode Island is a behemoth, it is smaller than Dragon Island.

Both are called islands, and the area of Dragon Island is more than ten times the size of Rhode Island, but there are many places that are not suitable for human habitation.

"I will not take the Earl's territory of Notting Hill, if he succumbs, I will let him devote himself to my family and become a subordinate nobleman. If you refuse to give in, you will toss him slowly. My plan is to give priority to the development of the navy, I will march south along the east coast of the empire continent, attack the half-elf empire on the coast, and train the half-elves. ”

When Xia He said this, he suddenly remembered that the fleet that intercepted him, a powerhouse from the Holy Thunder Empire.

I don't know what the Holy Thunder Empire means, is it trying to meddle in the affairs of the Arcane Empire? But if you go from the sea, it is impossible for the Cape of Stormwind to be lost, and the entire Cape of Stormwind is now armed to the teeth, and the knights in the costume are concentrated there. Fortress cannons, magic cannons, flying battleships.

Even if a legendary powerhouse is dispatched, there is still a temple of the goddess of doom over there.

There are more and more believers in the goddess of doom, and if it weren't for Xia He's failure to become a yang god, her power would have broken through to become a true god long ago.

If the Holy Thunder Empire were to send out warships, the best route would be to pass through the southern end of the Green Forest, and the distance was still not close.

Could it be that beyond the East China Sea, there are loopholes in the moats?

This world is still a planet, and in terms of size, I am afraid that it is comparable to the world of Shenzhou, and it is definitely the scale of the main world. However, the eastern seas are not navigable at all, and all kinds of catastrophic weather are dead fields for the legend.

The Holy Thunder Empire, don't you want to attack the Green Forest first, and then come to the Arcane Empire, right?

Although the green forest is not unified, the temples of the gods are all over there, and it is not easy to attack the green forest.

Xia He simply didn't think about this sudden flying clip, the Holy Thunder Empire wanted to put some pressure on itself last time and dispatched the griffin knights, but for himself, this is not very powerful. The combat effectiveness of the griffin knight is definitely inferior to his own flying battleship.

The self-defense weapon of the flying battleship is a lightning attack, plus a large-caliber magic musket, which is difficult for flying monsters to get close to. After all, if you are electrocuted by an electric current, everything will fall to the ground.

He is now a marquis of the Empire, and it is impossible for the Holy Thunder Empire to find trouble for himself.

The power of the Marquis' Court began to operate in Rhodes, and the hundreds of thousands of so-called fishermen, after being blocked, began to be able to rely on their savings, and by the beginning of the second year, many began to starve. The Marquis's Mansion was tightly sealed, and there were all kinds of surveillance in the sky, so it was really impossible to get any supplies from outside the island.

In the middle of January, people began to escape quietly one after another, and were captured by the people from the Marquis's Palace, directly beaten as sinners, and sent to build roads and open mines.

Xia He also saw that the people behind the instigation of the Earl of Notting Hill were simply treating the Earl as a substitute for the dead ghost, and had no intention of coming forward. After all, instigating people from other noble territories to rebel is a mortal enemy. The Earl of Notting Hill didn't know what benefits he had received, so he did such a brain-dead thing.

Since there is no follow-up method, the situation in Rhode Island is stable.

Although the forces are concentrated in Sun City and Wumian City, but now that there are flying warships, the combat radius is amazingly large, and when Xia He has a floating airship to transport elite soldiers, the entire Rhodes Island will be unbreakable.

The cost of transporting elite soldiers on floating warships is also a bit high, and it is not impossible to do it.

Xia He has been here for many days, and the equipment on his body has almost been refined, which can be regarded as a wave of evolution, and the equipment of the students under his hands has also been improved, and the twenty-four new students have grown up fast, but they are still young and can't do official business.

Yelena's students, when they were in Cape Storm, in addition to learning spells, also had to learn management, and now they can take charge on their own, and it is not a problem for each person to command five hundred to a thousand people.

Xia He's heart was stable, and after the teleportation array and Storm Horn were connected, the consumption was much smaller.

He has eight skins that specialize in transporting goods, and he can walk through the teleportation array without adding any consumption. This is intra-world teleportation, different from interstellar teleportation, that is the real money-burning thing, and it has to have the technology of the Shenzhou Empire to be able to afford it.

The image and sound transmission functions of the badge have finally been developed, but there are only a few of the most powerful badges that can transmit sound directly from Cape Storm to Rhode Island. This function is too practical, the drawings designed by Freya can be quickly transferred, and the alchemy factory here does not have much design ability, especially the new weapons, and the magicians are at a loss.

With the drawings provided by Freya, the warships and flying equipment were gradually refined, and various prototypes were dismantled and remanufactured into standard weapons that could be equipped in large quantities.

The changes made to the flying battleship are mainly to reduce the consumption, and at the same time increase the cost of the external version. Ten thousand gold coins is too cheap and will cause an avalanche in the price of the airship. This is something that the royal family will never allow. Xiahe wants to raise the cost to a level that the royal family can tolerate.

Of course, it refers to the external cost, mainly the secrecy of the core components, which makes it impossible for people to imitate. For Shen Zhou, this is not a problem, the means are. Since it can't be copied, the price of this thing will be as high as more than 80,000 gold coins. This is the price of bare metal, excluding any supporting weapons, means of detection.

Ironclad ships are nothing, the magicians of the empire, in fact, can even make diving warships, but the cost is too high, and they have not started wars with other continents, so they can't be used.

Xia He felt that on the side of Rhode Island, only the rebellion had not been resolved, and other things had been on the right track.

On the sea more than two hundred miles away from Rhode Island, a warship has anchored and waited, several underwater exploration teams have dispersed, and it is not the first day that the low-level magicians trained by Xia He have received tasks and explored the surrounding seas.

All the magicians formed a team, dressed in the close-fitting leather suit of the Marquis's Mansion shooting, and the leather clothing had distinct magic patterns on it. If it weren't for this magic pattern, the icy sea water would be enough to freeze to death for a mage below level 10.

A team of eight people, in a kayak, was heading north, and next to the kayak, a huge whale bared its back and walked with the magicians. The whale was more than 20 meters long and had sharp teeth. But when it circled the kayak, it was also cautious, for fear of overturning the thing.

This is the most common beast in the offshore sea, and it can also be regarded as a type of monster, the multi-toothed whale.

The multi-toothed whale is huge, and the highest level can reach close to eighty, but the offshore waters are all low-level existences. This monster is harmless to humans and has an extremely high IQ. Because of its proximity to people, no mage will hurt a multitooth whale.

If they encounter a predator such as a shark, the multi-toothed whale will even fight with humans.

For fishermen, the multi-toothed whale is the patron saint.

Eight magicians, the first of whom was only fifteen years old, was the captain of the team. The rest of the magicians were uneven, the eldest one, who looked to be eighty years old, was only a great magician, just level twenty.

The eight of them were all relaxed, had just explored underwater, and it was time to rest, and there was something to eat hot on the kayak. The young mage at the head said: "Thank you for your hard work, this time, in my name, everyone can only share some gold coins, I'm really embarrassed." ”

The old mage said: "Where, this time we are under the sea, we found a shipwreck, and the thing is worth thousands of gold coins, and it has made a lot of money." You don't even want another gold coin, how dare we say that we took advantage. ”

A middle-aged mage said, "We got the gold coins from the sunken ship, won't we hand them over to the Marquis?"

"How could you not pay it. The old mage smiled: "These gold coins are very old, and they have some research value, so they must be handed over to the Earl's Palace, but the Earl's Court will return the same weight of gold coins, and the Marquis only collects about five percent of the tax from this kind of expedition of about three thousand to five thousand gold coins, which is less than the normal business income."
