Chapter 475: Independence (1)
The king of the Jun'en Empire, Elroy, did not stay long, and after saying goodbye to Li Xuan, he left the Maple Leaf Manor, and returned to the Jun'en Empire under the spell of a high-level great magician, while the princess Maria, the councillor Queen, and the Jun'en Steel Hillen stayed.
Quinn and the other two high-level mages talked to Li Xuan in detail about their plans.
In Jun En's plan, there will be dozens of high-level magicians to cooperate with Li Xuan, cast spells to go to various areas of the Gilwellin Empire, and then in the name of the new Dragon City Carostat, spread the news, and gather the homeless people on the front line of the battlefield, it is a certain period of time, Li Xuan once again cooperated with these dozens of high-level magicians to open the door of time and space, and teleport the homeless people to the Dragon City Caroston.
"It's going to be a big project, a great idea. Demon Lord Serren praised.
"Thank you for the compliment. Quinn nodded and looked at him, guessing in his heart the identity of this tall and strong man with a big hat, Li Xuan did not introduce him, but he listened to this plan, and this identity seemed to be very special. He knows the identities of the other two people around Li Xuan, one is the mysterious sorcerer Emma who is said to have mastered the "Divine Arts: Reincarnation and Rebirth", and the other is the cave demon sorcerer Jage who has an unusually deep study of occultism and divination.
"It's not an easy thing to do. Emma frowned.
Li Xuan looked at him.
"If there are some unexpected episodes in this plan, it is easy to bring you a lot of enemies, and even become the enemy of the Gilverin Empire, although the attack of the undead clan is fierce, but recently, the addition of the Archangel and the Golden Dragon camp has stabilized the occupation, and even began to have some counteroffensives, which I hope is much more important to the people of the Gilverin Empire than anything. Emma said slowly.
"Hope...... Li Xuan nodded, when human beings face the threat of life and death, often even the slightest hope will be infinitely magnified, unless they are really completely desperate, how many people will be willing to abandon their homeland.
"I'm not optimistic that the archangels and the golden dragons will be able to repel the undead, you know, Sandru has always been stolen, and once he joins the battlefield, I don't think the Gilverin Empire will be able to support it for long. Sandru is the most terrifying spellcaster I've ever seen besides you, and his mastery of magic is probably infinitely close to that of a master. There was something inexplicable about Emma's words.
Emma's words made the eyes of the three Jun'en Imperial magicians standing beside Quinn brighten slightly, but they still remained quiet, before Quinn had asked the three of them to cooperate with him as much as possible, and to be sure to maintain awe of Li Xuan. All three of them were the youngest of the top group of the Jun'en Empire's Magic Guild.
"Of course. Quinn said in the affirmative.
"Your nine-headed embroidered dragon will give you enough deterrent power, and there is still hope for survival. We will arrange some voices in each town at that time, and under the brewing of time and the shadow of death, these humans who are not in a good state know how to choose. Quinn said slowly.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Xuan finally nodded, this plan didn't need him to do much, and even he only needed to take 9 embroidered dragons to shuttle through the gates of time and space, appearing in one town after another, and he could do it. While there was a taste of abduction and predatory population, some of Quinn's words did touch him. He believed he could give refuge to those who were suffering.
Half a month passed quickly, and the communication between Li Xuan and Quinn became more and more, this old man was far wiser than he imagined, and he was very good at thinking and observing, and during this time, his relationship with himself and Emma became more and more warm.
During a conversation one day, Quinn even guessed that Li Xuan came from another face, because many of Li Xuan's worldviews and values were completely different from those of the magicians of this world. After Lee and Emma confirmed his hypothesis, Quinn began a variety of measured and coherent question-style exchanges.
From religion to people's livelihood, from science and technology to political power, from economy to humanities, from art to fantasy, the content covered is very rich, and the appropriate question content and communication methods did not arouse Li Xuan's disgust, and also made Li Xuan's memory of another face be activated a lot, and he recalled a lot of the past.
"If the utopia you are describing exists, then the human beings in the utopia are no longer human. Quinn lamented the idea of utopia that Li Xuan had mentioned.
Li Xuan nodded, he was curious how this wise old man would view the concept of utopia.
"There are many forms of war, depending on the strength of the regime, when a regime is strong, it is difficult for the war to affect it, and a strong regime will inevitably bring many privileges, which are all artificial, and it must be difficult to fulfill under the desire and uneasiness. And once the regime is weak and driven by desire, it will inevitably suffer from various forms of war. As long as human desires exist, utopia will always be just an illusion. Quinn's gaze was a little misty, and the last sentence carried very mixed emotions.
Li Xuan nodded, he didn't intend to build Carouston City into a utopia, but at least Carouston City should be a place of relative peace and harmony.
"What do you think, how will Carouston City be changed and built after it becomes an independent territory?" asked Li Xuan seriously.
His question made Quinn quiet down, and his expression was serious and thoughtful, after a long time.
Seeing Quinn fall into thought, Emma also cast a concerned gaze, although he has lived for a long time, in many places, Quinn's words can always make him give birth to a lot of new thinking.
"It is very important to change the tax first, and the tax law used in the current city of Carroston is the tax law of the Duchy of Zereva of the Arissanrete Empire, and it must not be adapted to the new Caroston, so it is very important to revise and reform them one by one at the beginning of the establishment of the Duchy. Quinn was the first to change the tax code.
This statement surprised Li Xuan a little, because he rarely paid attention to these places.
"The tax law is managed by Viscount Olin's Department of the Interior, and in fact I don't know anything about the tax law in Carouston City. Li Xuan replied.
Quinn nodded. He continued: "In addition to the tax law, there are still many things that need to be changed......
