Chapter 64: The General Trend
In one of the halls, Baird bowed slightly to Artis before leaving. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It wasn't until he left the hall where Artis was far away that he took a sharp breath, looking at the ordinary hall behind him, with fear in his eyes.
"This feeling is even more terrible than the ancestral god, is he really a human?" he stroked his chest in a daze, feeling the sweat-soaked dress, a little afraid.
At this time, I saw him come out, and outside the door, several guards greeted him: "My lord, what's wrong?"
"Didn't the other party agree to our conditions?" a sturdy middle-aged man asked with some confusion as he looked at Baird's appearance.
"No, the other party agreed. Baird smiled wryly.
"Let's go, let's find a place to rest first, and while there is still some time, let's take a look here. He looked at the other man and said.
To this, the middle-aged man nodded.
And in the hall, beside Artis, Bazel looked at the other party's distant figure, and couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, why did you agree to their conditions?"
Artis looked at the other party in some surprise and said with a smile: "What's the benefit of not agreeing?"
Hearing Artis say this, Bazel hesitated, and then knelt down on one knee: "Although I don't understand the reason why His Highness did this, a considerable part of this group of nobles are the lords of the other party. ”
"As long as these lords are detained, the number of soldiers that can be recruited by the Duchy of Barlow will be greatly reduced in the case of temporarily losing a large number of lords, plus the five thousand people lost before, we can directly attack Barlow. ”
"Even if you can't capture Baluo City, there must be no problem in taking the opportunity to seize their territory in the wild. ”
Bazel bowed his head to the ground and said.
Seeing him say this, Artis was a little surprised: "Sure enough, it is a person with a high destiny, must there be something extraordinary?"
"Get up, Bazel!" he said, looking at Bazel, who was already kneeling in front of him.
"It's good that you can think so. ”
"But now, it's too early. He shook his head.
Seeing Artis say this, a trace of doubt flashed in Bazel's eyes, but looking at Artis, he didn't dare to say anything, just retreated silently.
When he had retreated, Artis looked to the north and sighed.
As Bazel said, this victory over the Duchy of Barlow was supposed to be a good opportunity, but for now, it seems a little out of place.
He looked at the north, causing a faint wave in his heart, and there was a kind of traction in the darkness that attracted him.
For Artis, even if he captures Barlow, he won't be able to increase his strength much in a short period of time, but the threat from the south is getting deeper and deeper.
In the darkness, he clearly sensed that not far from him, in the south, a pillar of heaven corresponded to the stars, and it was erecting.
"I have a hunch that it won't be long before I will come into contact with each other. Watching the two pillars in the sky get closer and closer, Artis muttered to himself.
In his senses, the other party's destiny was full of killing and sin, and it was raging throughout the northern region, almost completely unifying the south.
Perhaps, in the original destiny of heaven, the other party is the destined son of destiny in this northern region, and he is blessed by the luck of this side of heaven and earth, and wants to unify this northern region, and then go south.
If you use the words of the previous life, this is the hidden dragon.
Sensing the huge blessing of the Heavenly Destiny on the other party's life grid, he thought so in his heart.
At this moment, the other party has swept through half of the Northern Regions, the general trend has been achieved, and the destiny of heaven has been erected. In this case, it is almost impossible to confront the other party, so to speak, against the general trend.
Even if he is the reincarnation of a god, he feels extremely troubled in the face of this situation.
"The only way is to open the road to the north before the other side completely unifies the south. ”
In the depths of the North, there are millions of his followers. After these decades of development, the strength has been accumulated to an extremely terrifying level.
As long as the road is opened before the other side completely unifies the south, the forces of the believers are gathered, and then the north is swept away, it is completely possible to break this general trend before the other side completely sweeps away.
"Duchy of Brooke?"
He looked outside, and in his heart, a little bit of thought gradually drifted farther and farther away.
A few days later, in the outside world, caravans gradually moved through the vast city of Cecil.
"There seem to be more and more caravans around here..." Looking at the caravans outside the city, a handsome young man looked a little surprised when he looked at this scene.
"I originally thought that there would be a rebellion in the Duchy of Cecil and there would be some opportunities, but I didn't expect it to recover so quickly. ”
He sighed, a look of regret in his tone.
Behind him, several guards stood silently behind him, not saying a word.
"Young master, it is said that it is because the new king has cleared the various bandits and bandits that have wandered in the territory in these days, making the surrounding roads much safer, so that so many caravans choose to pass through Cecil City. ”
An old man said silently.
Seeing him say this, the young man nodded, and the crowd of followers walked in, not at all conspicuous in the crowd.
After entering the city, with the knowledge and experience of young people, I can see the differences and changes in the city at a glance.
On the streets, pedestrians walked on the road with a serenity on their faces that was not found in other cities, and in the surrounding area, you could see people in white robes praying silently.
Compared to other cities, after the Ardiste order, Cecil City looks relatively tidy, with not much dirt and blood on the streets, and no corpses and stench everywhere.
In between, you can also see official shops and churches, in which you can constantly see people walking in and out.
"What is this?" the young man looked at the shops with tree-shaped flags in front of them, and was a little stunned.
"It was a shop in the name of the king, and it was opened in every town to buy and sell the necessities of the people therein. ”
This is what Artis used to balance prices.
The goods of the shops opened in various towns are backed by the savings of the state treasury, and the prices can be controlled by regulating the prices according to the will of Artis, so as not to make the prices of some necessities too high, and can also set a minimum recovery price for some goods of the people, so that they will not be maliciously lowered by some foreign merchants.
The young man casually looked at a large shop and walked in.
The interior of the store is very simple, with a natural fragrance.
The young man looked intently and saw that all kinds of wheat, rice, and other crops were being sold here.
In addition to these, on another frame, there is also a display of seeds of crops for preservation.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but be shocked and a little surprised.
Don't underestimate the importance of seeds, in fact, they are very important for this day and age.
Moreover, because of the difficulty of communication in the world, there are often very few varieties of crops in one place, and it is almost impossible to see so many varieties of seeds.
Not to mention, these seeds are carefully cultivated by the sacrifice of the god of nature with divine magic, and each seed is full of seeds, and at first glance it is the best seed.
The young man endured the shock in his heart, pretended to be indifferent on his face, and said to one of the sacrifices in it very normally: "How do you sell these seeds?"
The originally busy priest on the opposite side was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the young man in front of him with a smile, "The seeds are distributed for free, and everyone only needs to show their own proof to receive a limited number of seeds." ”
"Proof?" he looked to the side.
In the surrounding area, the people walking through it held a nameplate with a tree-like texture, engraved with information such as the name of the village and town.
Seeing this scene, the young man nodded thoughtfully, and didn't ask much, just motioned to the guards around him to come forward and buy some wheat and other food.
To his surprise, the price of these grains, although not cheap, was not expensive, which was quite rare in this era of continuous war.
However, there are also restrictions on the purchase of food. Leaving aside the fact that the price of food purchased by outsiders is slightly higher than that of the people in the territory, there is also a limit in quantity.
Each person is only allowed to buy a month's worth of food for his own person, and it is even harsher for outsiders.
As for the checking, the nameplate has a trace of its own breath, which will naturally be recorded when it is used.
In the venue, the young man walked out silently, watching the pedestrians in the city wandering among them, and his mood was a little complicated for a while.
