"The King of Zion wants to kill a large number of people. In the chat channel, Pratt said, "It's the same group of people who shouted 'The North has prospered, it's time to abolish the privilege of pioneering.'" ”

"I'm for it!" Loma immediately said, "I can make a cameo if he needs an executioner." I am also quite skilled in using the weapon of the guillotine axe. ”

"I'm in favor of it too," Atlas said, "I can also make a cameo as an executioner, and I have an advantage." ”

"What advantages?" asked Laisha curiously.

"Ugly!" Atlas didn't really care about the topic himself, but hated it to be brought up, "As an executioner, I'm at least one castle uglier than Loma." ”

He specially marked the word "high" in red, which appeared to be very spiritual.

Sure enough, Loma immediately went berserk.

All dwarves, including traversers, are taboo about being "short". Although they occasionally make fun of their own shortness, if someone else mentions this, they are basically going to be mad - much more taboo than Atlas's "ugliness".

As for Loma and Atlas's confrontation, to be honest, there is no nutrition, it's just one spraying each other's various ugliness, and the other spraying each other's various short, outright personal attacks, not even a word is the kind of smile that hides a knife in the courteous but contains murderous intent.

Ugly people and dwarves don't have that quality, they will only start by greeting each other, and then develop in a balanced way to the lower three paths, relatives...... Even the other party's house, pets, and household goods...... Anyway, in a word, stick to the center and do not relax.

Panda, who had just woken up and was eating and didn't know whether to count dinner or breakfast, naturally saw this chat log, he was stunned for a moment, contacted Pratt in private chat, and asked, "Zion wants to kill someone?"

According to Princess Fisna, it was these people who used business as a pretext to put pressure on the royal family, which caused the old king's illness to worsen. Zion had long held a grudge against this, and when he talked about state affairs with his father and sister, he was ruthless more than once to kill them. Now that he is king, he must kill people, and most of them will kill this group of people. ”

The panda thought for a moment and asked, "How many people are in that group?"

"There are two counts at the meeting of the nobles, and the viscount doesn't know whatever...... If you want to know, I'll ask Jenny to ask Fisna tomorrow?"

"No, no. Panda smiled and said, "I'm just a little curious." The political struggle at the top of the Trera Kingdom, no matter who kills whom, has nothing to do with me. ”

"You're right! Zion wants to kill Liwei, and the one who kills him is also the one who troubles him, and it's none of our business! As for the 'resumption of taxation on goods from the North' or something...... If you collect taxes, you will collect taxes, and we don't lack this amount of money anyway!"

The traversers are very rich, they are already rich, and after controlling several small worlds, their wealth has increased greatly. Now they have nothing else, gold, silver, precious stones, and the like. Especially in the world of "whirlpools and archipelagos", there are open-pit gold mines on more than one island. Now the only thing that limits the speed at which they can make money is manpower – everyone thinks that it is not worth wasting on things that they can neither eat nor drink.

They want to do business, not really greedy for the money they can make in business, but want to strengthen exchanges with other territories through commercial means and promote their influence among the people.

For the traversers, every caravan that comes to the north is a potential propagandist about the prosperity and stability of the north, and every merchant who goes out of the north is a messenger to expand the influence of the north's propaganda.

That's what they care about the most.

As for the question of money...... They really don't care, it's a big deal to give subsidies to merchants in the north.

In fact, Locke had made this suggestion at the beginning, he felt that there were too few merchants in the north and there was not enough propaganda power, so he planned to attract more merchants by paying subsidies out of his own pocket. But after discussion, his proposal was rejected. It's not that they're afraid of "shooting a bird in the head", but everyone thinks that this will easily cause trouble for those merchants in the north.

The traversers themselves are not afraid of trouble, but they are not willing to cause trouble for their subordinates or friendly units.

Even if you don't get a subsidy, you can solve the problem slowly with time, and it's not worth causing trouble to others.

Locke was not unreasonable, and the matter was put aside.

If the merchants of the Northland were to be taxed by the lords along the way, then Locke's original proposal would inevitably be represented. This time, it probably won't be denied again.

Of course, Panda also knew these things, and he was the only one who persuaded Locke in the first place. So he really didn't pay attention to the fact that the noble lords wanted to collect taxes on the caravans in the north - the question of money, there was nothing to worry about.

For the traversers, the only "money problem" worth caring about is probably a plan proposed by Liu Daoqing some time ago.

He intended to build a huge temple on the outskirts of the "glorious New Elantz", the capital of the Elantz Kingdom.

The main building of this temple is an altar with a four-sided cone, the base is 9,999 feet long, 3,650 feet high, and is divided into three levels, the first is the monument and memorial hall of various heroes and historical events, the second is the branch of the major churches, and the third is the top one, which is purely paved with yellow stone, without any equipment, to symbolize the majesty of the yellow sky.

How much manpower and material resources will be required for this huge altar? Locke, who was dragged by Liu Daoqing to make a project estimate, was very optimistic about this, and he said, "I am afraid that this project will not be completed until your grandson's generation."

Liu Daoqing didn't care, he said that it didn't matter if it was longer, just take your time.

This remark naturally attracted a lot of criticisms such as "Wonders ruin your life", "Wonders attract thieves", "Wu Na bird fish, dare to secretly create wonders", but Liu Daoqing also didn't care.

Anyway, he has already planned the place, and is currently leveling the land in preparation for the construction of the first floor.

Compared to the spectacle that Liu Daoqing was about to build with the power of the whole country of Elantz, King Trella wanted to hack down some nobles who were making trouble with his father, what kind of big deal was it?

A few days later, it happened as expected.

At the meeting of the nobles, the king took out evidence that several small and medium-sized nobles privately transported dangerous weapons such as heavy crossbows to the royal capital, and insisted that this was an attempt to rebel, and without saying a word, he ordered the army to raid the house and arrest people.

The nobles were shocked, and some tried to persuade them, but they were stopped by their friends.

In the end, the only one who really opened her mouth to persuade was Her Royal Highness Princess Fisna.

For the sake of his sister's face, His Majesty spared the families of some nobles who had relatively minor circumstances, but all the main culprits, as well as most of the members of the noble families with several serious cases, were finally guillotined.

Lomara, who had been eliminated because of his short stature, visited a hotel where he could see the execution ground, and after watching it for a long time, he shook his head and said, "You all say that Zion is cruel, but it's actually quite good—even those who hit the streets with their whole families, he spared a few of them from each family." Those guys provoked the king, and almost made the old king angry to death, and in the end, at least he didn't die a household register, which should be considered gratifying!"

For this statement, Pratt can only smile bitterly.

"Yes, after all, I didn't die a household register......
