Chapter 157: Persistence
"That's why I need to hurry to the Isle of Truth and ask for help!" Ronnon's question replied frankly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Regarding the matter of seeking the support of the White Tower of the Nine Rings and building his own territory, Luo Sheng did not mean to hide it. In fact, this matter not only requires the approval of multiple high-level leaders, but once successful, the implication will be very extensive and will last for a very long time, and there is no possibility of secrecy at all. So when asked by a figure like Lunnong who held real power in the White Tower of the Nine Rings, Luo Sheng directly expressed his request.
"Ask for assistance from the White Tower of the Nine Rings? It seems that Luo Sheng wants to build the territory as soon as possible. Lunnon was slightly stunned, and immediately understood what Luo Sheng meant.
Regarding the information of Luo Sheng's territory, Lunnon also did some understanding. Although the population is relatively small, the environment and topography are not bad, and it also produces some wood and stone. If Luo Sheng is going to follow the normal development method of the territory, he only needs to build a smaller castle as the core of the territory in the early stage, and then slowly expand outward, enriching his territory little by little.
In this way, although the development speed will be relatively slow, fortunately, most of the construction materials can be solved locally, so the cost is not too large. Even if Luo Sheng is a commoner and doesn't have much savings, he should be able to support himself and don't need to ask for help at all.
However, since Luo Sheng is ready to ask for assistance from the Nine Ring White Tower, it means that Luo Sheng is not ready to take this steady but very slow path, but wants to use the strength and resources of the Nine Ring White Tower to carry out infrastructure construction in the territory, and build the territory in a short period of time.
"Well, starting from the basics, if you develop the territory little by little, the speed is too slow. I want to build the territory as soon as possible, and at the very least, build a small town that can shelter the people and lay the foundation for attracting the population. Luo Sheng nodded and replied affirmatively.
Luo Sheng fought desperately in order to establish his own power before the drastic changes in the situation on the mainland, so of course it was impossible to adopt the most traditional territorial development method like the Cook family did back then. Although it is relatively stable, it will take at least a dozen or decades to develop the territory. In that case, it will not be of much use for the future situation.
However, it is not easy to build a castle in Hokuriku quickly. Don't say that it only relies on Rasen, even the Elson Kingdom doesn't have this ability now. In the entire Northland, only the Nine-Ring White Pagoda can be freely navigated in the North Sea, easily communicating between the North Continent and the Northland, so only the Nine-Ring White Pagoda can transport a large number of manpower and materials needed to build the city from the Northland countries to the North Continent to support the construction of Rasho's territory. That's why Luo Sheng had to go to the Isle of Truth to seek the support of the White Tower of the Nine Rings.
"Building a city directly in the Hokuriku? I'm afraid it's a bit difficult! Not only does it have the support of the high-level, but the cost required is definitely not a small amount!" Lunnon was slightly stunned, and then said with a frown.
With the powerful power and energy of the White Tower of the Nine Rings, not to mention building a new territory, even if it is to rebuild a small country, it is actually not a problem. Although Luo Sheng's territory is far away in the North Continent and is barren, as long as the White Tower of the Nine Rings is willing, it will not be too much of a problem to build it into a city that is not much inferior to Snow Dragon City in a short period of time. As one of the most powerful organizations in the Ymir Continent, the Nine Rings White Tower has this confidence and self-confidence.
However, although the Nine Ring White Tower has this ability, it does not mean that the Nine Ring White Tower will really do this. From scratch, to build a territory in such a desolate place as Hokuriku, the resources, manpower, and ship capacity required are not a small amount, and even a large fleet of ships must be directly mobilized. Without the explicit support of the top, even a powerful figure like Lennon would not be able to mobilize so many resources to do such a thing.
Moreover, one of the major principles of the organization of the Nine Rings White Tower is to trade equally. Everything you do requires a corresponding return, and what kind of resources you want to get also needs to pay a corresponding price. This is a principle that even legendary spellcasters must basically abide by.
In other words, if Luo Sheng wants the Nine Ring White Tower to support his own construction of the territory, he must not only get clear support from the top level, but also must come up with the corresponding price, otherwise the Nine Ring White Tower will not support Luo Sheng in vain. And the cost of building a territory will be staggering, and the fleet that can navigate the North Sea is definitely not something that Luo Sheng, a civilian born and a teenager with little accumulation, can easily pay.
"I knew it was going to be difficult, but I was prepared. As long as you have high-level support, the cost is not a problem. Luo Sheng replied confidently.
As a person who had been in the White Tower of the Nine Rings for a period of time and had in-depth contact with the high-level people, Luo Sheng was quite clear about the style of the White Tower of the Nine Rings, and he also knew the difficulties he would face, so he was ready before he set off.
In terms of high-level support, Luo Sheng will soon join the Nine Rings White Pagoda and become a disciple of Kuniel. There is this layer of identity, although it is far inferior to Lennon, Bunier and others in terms of actual power and influence, but in terms of identity alone, it can be basically equal to the two of them, and it is the core of the White Tower of the Nine Rings, and it is not difficult to persuade some high-level people through Quinir.
And in terms of spending, Luo Sheng is also prepared. Before, Luo Sheng killed in the Snow Dragon Pass, and the loot obtained was quite rich, except for a small amount of the part that Luo Sheng himself could use, the rest were sold by Luo Sheng to the Chamber of Commerce under the Nine Rings White Tower. Not only did he exchange all kinds of materials for Luo Sheng to be promoted to silver, but he also had a lot of money left. In addition, Luo Sheng has the formula for a hemostatic bandage in his hand to make a move, although the money is not enough to support the construction of the territory, but the cost of building the castle framework in the initial stage is basically enough.
As for the follow-up costs, Luo Sheng also has a plan. In memory, there is a more suitable relic that is about to be opened. After being promoted to silver, Luo Sheng will go to the ruins to explore, and use the wealth inside to make up for the subsequent deficit.
"Oh, it seems that Luo Sheng, you have a plan!" Lunnon glanced at Luo Sheng and said with a smile.
If other people said so, Lennon would probably think that the other party was bragging, after all, the money needed to build a territory was definitely an astronomical amount for ordinary professionals. Even a gold-level mage like Lunnon, unless he used the public resources of the Nine Rings White Tower, he couldn't support such a large project with his own savings alone.
However, when these words came out of Luo Sheng's mouth, Lunnon directly believed seven or eight points. After all, Luo Sheng has created a lot of miracles before, and things that are difficult to compare to others seem to be nothing here in Luo Sheng. In terms of money, although Luo Sheng did not have too amazing performances, his ability to create wealth is definitely not small. Not to mention the rest, just the alchemy formula of hemostatic bandage can bring Luo Sheng a lot of income. If Luo Sheng could really come up with a few more similar alchemy recipes, there would be no problem in making up enough money to build a small town.
"This is my father's wish for many years, and it is also the foundation of my future, of course, I have to pay more attention. Luo Sheng said with a smile.
"The foundation of the future, in this way, Luo Sheng, do you really want to set up your own portal, manage your own forces alone, and are not ready to stay on the Island of Truth?" Hearing Luo Sheng's words, Lunnong frowned slightly, and said with some hesitation: "You are now setting up your own portal, will it be too early?"
In the continent of Ymir, it is not easy to stand on its own. Take the Cook family as an example, they have been royal vassals for hundreds of years, and the strength they have accumulated exceeds that of ordinary real power marquises, so they have the qualifications to stand on their own. Ordinary viscounts, barons, and even counts simply can't do this.
Rasen's desire to create an independent force is not as difficult as the independence of the Cook family, but it is not an easy task. Not only does it need a material base, such as a good town, a perfect team, and a trustworthy team, but more importantly, it requires Luo Sheng to step into the golden rank. Only the Golden Rank can support a faction, this is the rule prevailing in the Imir Continent.
And although Luo Sheng has killed the Golden Rank, after all, it is with assistance, and his own strength has not really entered this level. Coupled with the lack of materials and people, in Lunnong's view, the conditions for Luo Sheng to stand on his own are not ripe.
"It's still a bit early, but it's always going to be in that direction. Luo Sheng replied with a firm expression. Luo Sheng, who is difficult to stand on his own, naturally knows it, otherwise Luo Sheng would not still be alone when he stepped into the legendary level in his previous life.
But now that the goal has been determined, Luo Sheng will work hard to achieve it. Although the conditions are not yet ripe at the moment, Luo Sheng believes that with his own ascension speed, he will soon be able to meet the basic conditions of the self-reliance portal.
"But in this case, Luo Sheng, I am afraid that it will be more difficult for you to apply for support!" Seeing the firmness in Luo Sheng's eyes, Lunnon shook his head and said with some emotion.
If Luo Sheng wants to develop in the Nine Ring White Tower, and the territory is just a side business, then the Nine Ring White Tower should be willing to provide support. After all, this is a good opportunity to win the hearts of the people, and the high-level management is very happy to exchange materials and manpower for the loyalty of Luo Sheng, a potential stock. In fact, it is not uncommon for an accomplished spellcaster to want to get a territory in their hometown or elsewhere as a backup asset to settle their family and relatives, and the White Tower of the Nine Rings is happy to provide support.
But if Luo Sheng wants to stand on his own, the situation is different. Luo Sheng stayed on the Island of Truth, he was considered an insider, and supporting the construction of the territory was regarded as an 'employee welfare', and no one would say anything. But if Luo Sheng wants to set up his own door, then the two sides will have a trading relationship. Not to mention whether Luo Sheng can pay the price required for the transaction, even if Luo Sheng has the ability to pay, it is difficult to say whether the high-level will agree to support Luo Sheng.
"I understand, but I'm sticking to my ideas. Luo Sheng said with a smile.
"Alright then, I'll do my best to help you out. However, whether you can succeed or not depends on how many things you can come up with, and whether you can impress your Excellencies. Lennon shook his head, a little helpless, and a little admiring.
"Then thank you Master Lennon. ”
