Chapter 744: Imperial Expedition

"So what the hell are you doing with me. ”

Listening to Colin talk about the history for more than two hours, Kylot still couldn't help but ask the question hidden in his heart, the origin of the Holy Blood Hermitage is very important, right, so there is no need to tell him specifically, right?

"Hmm...... At first, I just wanted to confirm some things, anyway, you broke into RhΓ΄ne Mountain, I have to confirm that you are not a guy similar to the members of the Holy Blood Hermitage, one Holy Blood Hermitage is enough for us to have a headache, and there can be no second one, so this is a small test, you dare to come to the door, plus the two hours of conversation just now, you have passed, as long as you are not a guy who is ready to do bad things, RhΓ΄ne Mountain...... It doesn't matter if you break through once, anyway, the only thing you lose is the majesty of the royal family. ”

"What if I don't make it?"

"This morning...... What breakfast did you have on Bissenbao Street?"

"Hmmm......"

"Got it?"

"Got it!"

What does it mean that if Kailot doesn't come today, Colin will go to him, and then it may not be a relationship where he can sit under the banyan tree and chat, and the spirit can walk sideways in many places on the continent, but in front of these top powerhouses who have experienced the dark ages, at most it can be regarded as the degree of turning from an ant to a beast, and the ant does not use a shotgun, just step on it, and the beast may have to work hard, that is, a matter of pulling the trigger a few more times.

The conversation was almost over, and Kellot said goodbye and left very interestingly, before he came, he also thought about whether it was possible that Colin found out that he was actually the chosen one and gave him a magical treasure and other plots, but unfortunately he still overestimated himself and underestimated Colin.

Is it worth it to walk on the edge of life and death in exchange for the pile of altar fragments in the space ring? Kylott didn't know, it depended on how much help the altar could provide him.

Kailot left the manor, and before he had gone far, he saw Bashas standing outside the manor waiting, he was arranged by Kailot to stay in the hotel yesterday, and now that he thinks about it, this decision is really correct, if Colin sees a guy with demonic blood with him, maybe he will kill the two as cultists.

"Boss, how's it going. ”

"Talking to the Great Magus, I learned some more important information, and then there was nothing else. ”

"So where do we go next?"

"Go visit...... Wait a minute. ”

The compass in the Spatial Ring signaled, and Kylot took it out and put it on his hand, revealing Femia's avatar.

"Kailot, you need to get back to Gonza as soon as possible. ”

"What's wrong?"

"The Lorraine Empire has sent a team to inspect the territory, and there will be people from the Sunline Sect to follow, and it is very likely that a church will be opened in Gonza, you have to prepare in advance, there are some things that they can't find out for the time being!"

"Isn't it the year-end inspection? Why is it so much in advance, it's only October now!"...

According to the rules of the Lorraine Empire, in February every year, the empire will send an inspection team to the territories of various nobles to inspect and confirm the development of the territory, and use this to determine the amount of tribute in the next year and other matters, which is very normal for other noble lords but is a little tricky to deal with on the Gonza side.

Kailot is currently a baron, and the territory under his control, not counting the Qingshu Islands, is almost equal to the Abraham family (most of them are peripheral grasslands and small towns, and the only cities that have developed in the real sense are Gonza at present), and the Lorraine Empire's algorithm for the territory is not based on the size of the main cities, but on the evaluation of the entire territory, in other words, according to the land area.

There is a saying that the amount of land occupied by the nobles depends on their own ability, but in fact, there are certain restrictions, such as this kind of giant occupation area, if the development goes well, Gonza City may be able to occupy most of the territory of the size of the Sambia region, and then it will be like a small kingdom, a baron?

The above can be summed up as a problem, Kailot can try to negotiate terms with the empire through the Abraham family, what really worries him is the entourage of the Rimai sect, whether he comes early or late, but comes when the city construction is improving, and it is clear that he is here to pick fruits.

"Let's go, go back to Gonza. ”

The planned expedition to the northern region will definitely not be carried out, since the imperial expedition has come in advance, he, the head of the Affleck family, will naturally be present, fortunately, the most important things have been done, and there is nothing to pack up, so he will leave immediately!

**

On October 20, Kellot returned to the southern border and rode into the Giants' territory.

"It's just ahead...... It's finally here!"

Riding a horse, Bashas took the map in his hand and compared it to several hills not far away, clamped the horse's belly, hurried a few steps, and followed the path between the hills into the valley, which seemed to be empty, and after a few minutes of the sound of the horse's hooves, two people with earthy yellow heads and sticky grass and fallen leaves stood on the small hill on the right.

"Chief!"

That's right, this is a small stronghold set up by Qingshu in the area occupied by the giants, not to guard against anyone, but to establish an outpost position, specially used to reconnoiter the movements of the revolutionary army, and by the way, to provide a more convenient way for some personnel to move.

"How is the spatial teleportation circle arranged, can you use it?"

Kailott dismounted, handed the reins to the member of the green tree next to him, and entered the valley together, and the other member blew the whistle in his mouth, making a sound similar to the cry of a bird, and after a while, several more people appeared in the valley.

"A week ago, it was set up and tested and ready to be put into use, go this way. ”

Led by the members to a rock wall, someone went over to twist an inconspicuous stone nearby, the outer layer of the stone wall gradually blurred, and then a stone cave about three meters high appeared, which looked a little rough, and the inner rock wall was being reinforced.

"You go on with your own business, leave me alone. ”

The stronghold in the mountain, the place is not cramped, the cave dug out can accommodate seven or eight people to move freely, and the space circle is in it, after explaining the intention, the members immediately activate the circle, confirm the safety of the situation at the other end of the Gonsar City, and open the portal.

Stepping in, the next second, Kailot appeared in an underground facility in Gonza City, the space teleportation technique is still top secret, so the teleportation points in both places are extremely tightly arranged.

"Chief!"

Stepping out of the space door, the members of the Qingshu greeted one after another, and there were acquaintances, and Tom, the current leader of the Qingshu Alchemy Department, was present.

"Tom, this is your underground lab? ”

Looking around, Kylott noticed that this place was different from the usual basement, with the iconic altar of alchemy, and the nearby test bench with a number of alchemy circles depicted.

"Yes, the laboratory on the Bluetree Islands is currently being used by Mr. Dryden, and is currently working with the Shining Gold Pirate Group to develop war puppets, and some of the defensive puppets have been transported through the Aoki fleet one after another, and I am here to conduct the final inspection and refine the magic circle to ensure that the daily operation of the puppets will not go wrong. ”

According to the regulations, the baron's private soldiers cannot exceed 3,000, under the premise of annual inspection, in order not to fall into the truth, the Qingshu team stationed in Gonza has actually maintained a level of about 2,000 people, and most of them are human members, as for the remaining 1,000 people, the team is distributed to the people in the current Gonza City, just like the humans and half-giants on the Qingshu Islands had to take care of, as the mayor of Gonza City, Qian Ning is also trying to create a balanced situation at this time.

This point of strength needs to consume nearly 500 people as a rotation and patrol team in maintaining security outside Gonza City, and the hedron vein also needs to be taken care of by Qingshu's core team, and the team sent by Abraham and the Bennett family should have arrived at this time, and the excavation efficiency of the mine is increasing, and there must be no chaos, so these defensive and combat puppets are very important.

"I still have some things to do with you here, I got some fragments of the altar in the Duchy of RhΓ΄ne some time ago, and I took some time to find valuable information on it. ”

Tom didn't need to bother with Kellot here, opened the spatial ring, and the fragments inside were scattered on the ground, Tom stepped forward to pick up a palm-sized fragment, and soon fell into the lines on it, rummaging through the pile of debris with his eyes shining.

Without bothering Tom again, Kylot left the lab and went to the surface, only to find that the basement was not far from the mayor's mansion, so he simply walked over.

The development of the tourism project in Gonza City has been very successful so far, after all, the city itself followed this path before the Giant Tide, and many facilities can be re-used after a short break, coupled with the attractive hotspot as a documentary filming location and the vast meadows in the safe zone outside Gonza, where visitors can enjoy the sand and sun of the general coastal city, and can also rent a horse or two to explore the mountain scenery on the meadows, and if you are feeling adventurous, the city has recently developed a project to get out of the safe zone and get up close and personal with the giants (giants controlled by giant controllers) I don't know how many people rushed to sign up for this last item alone.

To sum up, it is not surprising that it has quickly become a new popular tourist city, and the economic benefits brought by the huge consumer population are also very considerable, and the citizens who have contributed a lot in the urban reconstruction and have become government workers will be more or less allocated to housing, and these people have become the first batch of people to get rich after the city has opened up, and it is very natural to become a model for the second group of foreign population, which is also a policy in another sense to make some people rich first.

"Chief, Lord Channing is in a meeting, shall I go to him?"

"Work is important, I'll just wait for him outside. ”

After becoming the mayor of Gonza, Channing's workload has doubled compared to the Qingshu Islands, which Kailot can't do, he used to manage more than 20,000 people, either members of the Qingshu or slaves, and the overall discipline is strict and there is no chaos; now he manages nearly 80,000 ordinary people, and the city is just starting.

However, it turns out that Kailot was not wrong at the beginning, Qian Ning may only be in the middle and lower reaches of the Qingshu in terms of fighting, but in terms of the ability to govern the city, he must definitely surpass the vast majority of the Qingshu, even including him, the two years of management experience in the Qingshu Islands have allowed Qian Ning to form a very efficient team, I believe that as long as he is given another period of time, the team on the side of Gonza City will be much easier after it is slowly formed.

After waiting for half an hour in the garden next to the mansion, Channing trotted all the way over.

"I didn't expect you to come back so quickly, and it was rude not to be able to greet you. ”

"I also learned about the matter of the imperial inspection team and hurried back, there is no rudeness, what is the specific situation, there is a notice?"

At present, the most important thing is to fool this expedition to the past.

"Yes, in a week's time, a delegation of representatives of the Imperial Government, the Rimai Sect, and the nobles of the Sambia region will come to Gonza for a three-day expedition. ”

For this kind of government-level activity, it is necessary to notify in advance so that the local government can be well prepared.

"Imperial government, Sect of the Sun Mai...... What are the people from Sambia doing here? I don't have anything to do with Osmond, Prudence, or Lorel!"

Kailott was too lazy to analyze why this kind of imperial government's investigation of the local aristocracy was accompanied by people from the Rimai Sect, the Ramarche area, where the core cathedral of the Rimai Sect is located, has long had the second capital in the mouths of some people, which makes the Lorraine royal family hate the itchy name, and the problem is the nobles of Sambia, and the following of these people is intriguing.

"Have you forgotten? We still have a ban on them, and the chambers of commerce of the three major families have not been able to come in, and now our development here has long made them red-eyed, I think they must have come here this time to force us to open the market." ”

At the beginning, because of the agreement with Mina and Yueyong, the first batch of chambers of commerce introduced by Gonza City to the outside world were only them plus the three Aoki Consortium and quickly seized a large market with the tacit consent of Kailot, and the second wave of market opening was after the documentary began to be released, a large number of people poured into Gonza, and the three hotels, inns, and travel agencies have completely earned back the previous investment with the income of these few months alone, and the rest is to sit and wait for the money.

And the three top families in the Sambia region have been stuck outside because of the hostile relationship at the moment, one step at a time, one step at a time, looking at the trend of Abraham and Bennett's two families making a lot of money, who will not be able to get along with money?

It's just that Gonza City directly refused any communication from them, and for three months, they didn't even see each other, and this time they seized the opportunity, I'm afraid they wanted to force Kailot to make a statement.

"Contact Gary Prudence and ask him to find out. ”

The shadows that were planted before have finally come in handy.
