Chapter 124: A New Look
Ciri has been putting a lot of effort into the research of space-time summoning spells, but not everything pays off as long as you pay for it. There is no one to guide the knowledge of time and space, and there is no way to achieve something quickly without systematic learning for a long time. Associate Professor Hobert's main research direction is still on the traditional space-time summoning technique, and it is not helpful for Ciri to study new spells. Due to the particularity of chronology, there is no academic mage in the entire Blossom Academy who specializes in this aspect of knowledge.
Without the guidance of professionals, Ciri's experimental research progress is very slow, and he can only use one [Half-time Acceleration Technique] until now, and can only rely on magic props. The [Forbidden Stone] is an accident, and magical experimental research cannot always rely on accidents to achieve results.
If he can obtain the qualification to enter and exit the City of the End freely this time, I believe it will definitely help Ciri's research in time and space, so he himself very much hopes to successfully pass the test of the City of the End. However, even the headmaster of the Final City test does not know the content of the test, it is said that it is a test of future talents, if this is the case, now Ciri can't change the test results no matter what he does, so he can only resign himself to fate.
For things that individuals cannot control to change, it is better to go with the flow, and people should hold on to what they can control.
Ciri took a day out to tour the changing city of Montenegro, accompanied by Kayla and Bruno.
Montenegro City originally started with energy stone complex mines, but it was difficult to make money from complex ore mining in the past few years. In recent years, Bruno's policy has also abandoned the aspect of complex mines, so it is difficult to see the original streets full of complex miners on the streets.
The streets of Montenegro are now filled with mercenaries and merchants transporting magical materials who serve these mercenaries. Many old forces with a slow transformation speed have begun to decline in a few years, and a number of new forces have risen in Montenegro City, beginning to replace the previous generation and control part of the city's discourse.
The newly rising wealthy class is dominated by mercenary service merchants and material transportation merchants, with some mercenary group leaders, while the town's voice is dominated by mercenary group leaders, with some merchants interspersed.
Walking down the street, the old scene of the city being twilight and full of gloom has disappeared, replaced by the lively and noisy scenery of the new city.
Bruno expanded the entire city of Montenegro, dedicating part of the city to the garrison of mercenary groups, and part of it to mercenary trading and trading. At present, the construction of these two regions is developing the fastest.
A large number of mercenary groups began to move from the original town to Montenegro City for stationing, after all, Montenegro City belongs to the city level, it is more convenient to buy and sell, and now the mercenary service items are more complete. Originally, because of policy reasons, everyone had to choose remote towns, but now the policy has been changed to the direction that is conducive to the development of mercenaries, and it will not change for a long time, depending on the situation, and the mercenary group will naturally choose to be stationed in more convenient urban areas.
The loss of the mercenary group did not cause the town to decline. Because of the establishment of a large number of new mercenary groups, coupled with the continuous transfer of old mercenary groups to the area of Montenegro, the daily needs of mercenaries have increased, and the town has turned to the production and development of mercenaries' daily needs. At present, the pattern of the entire Montenegro city area is to Montenegro as the main center, and various towns work together to support it.
Looking at the lively streets of Montenegro, the smiles on the faces of pedestrians coming and going, and the vitality of the whole city, I have to say that Bruno has indeed made a lot of contributions to the development of the city, and what he has done is very effective.
Ciri decided to allocate a part of the funds from the treasury of Montenegro City to Bruno as a reward for his work during this period of time. Bruno didn't work for Ciri for wealth, he genuinely wanted to develop Montenegro for no other reason. However, seeing that Ciri values himself so much and acknowledges the results of his hard work during this time, Bruno is still very happy to accept these rewards.
It's a pity that Ciri didn't see Benson this time. Bruno left everything to Benson for his transport line, and after some initial ups and downs, Benson built the line well. There has been a lot of traffic line transportation, which has been developed little by little by Benson. He rarely returns to Montenegro now, and is always on the go. However, I heard that this kid has met a young female combat mage in the mercenary city of Kelila, and is trying to pursue the other party, maybe it won't be long before Ciri can attend the wedding banquet of the two.
After inspecting Montenegro City, Ciri asked Bruno to go back to work, and he took Kayla to the area where the Black Mountain City mercenary group was stationed.
The Leo Mercenary Group has now developed into a medium-sized mercenary group with a small reputation, and the headquarters has also been transferred to the area where the Black Mountain Mercenary Group is stationed.
Now the mercenary group is not large, but there are many elite mercenaries and potential mercenaries. What attracted these mercenaries was not only the fact that the Leo Mercenaries were superior to other teams, but also the latest high-end version of the Numercer that was released as a reward from time to time in the group. [Numerical Explorer Type IIIb] is difficult to buy in the outside world, and the price has been speculated on the black market, and it is still in short supply.
Leo and the others relied on their connections to get some of these high-end and latest version of the numerical explorer from Ciri, and distributed them as a reward for outstanding contributions, attracting many excellent mercenaries to join. If it weren't for the fact that they had been recruiting people based on the principle of being more expensive, they would probably have met the number of people who would have been promoted to a large mercenary group.
Ciri hadn't told Leo in advance that they were coming, so the crowd was surprised to see him. Leo and the others did not announce that Ciri, the inventor of the numerical explorer, was the boss of the mercenary group, but this did not prevent them from admiring Ciri.
Now the Numer Finder is a must-have magic item for mercenaries of all levels, and a mercenary can go on an adventure without weapons and equipment, but he must bring a Numer Profiler. Without weapons and equipment, mercenaries can rely on the numerical probe to identify and collect materials, and sometimes they can also make a lot of money, but if they don't bring the numerical probe, they can't make much money after a hard trip.
The numerical explorer invented by Xi Rui can be said to have changed the development of the entire mercenary world from the bottom, especially some newly established and developed mercenary groups, which have been greatly helped by the numerical explorer. Many of the emerging mercenary groups have proposed to record Ciri and his invention of the numerical probe in the history of mercenaries and permanently display them in the hall of the mercenary union.
Leo and the others warmly entertained Ciri and his wife, and gave Ciri a brief report on the development status of the mercenary group.
The Leo Mercenary Group had a very good opportunity, first with the support of Ciri, the powerful power and rapid popularity of the Numerical Profiler, which led to their rise, and then Bruno carried out reforms in Black Mountain City to vigorously develop mercenary-related industries, and Leo and the others caught up with it. Now they have developed into a standard medium-sized mercenary group, and with the support of Ciri, the recruited members are generally of high potential and are all elites.
Leos rarely go out on adventures now, and are now mainly responsible for the day-to-day operation and logistics of the mercenary group.
