In general, it is very difficult for a settlement to be upgraded to a town within the Bato faction.

Among them, it not only involves an incomparably large number of audits, reviews, personal relationships, and countless formalities.

What's more, each town is equivalent to a territory, and the devil who owns his own territory will become the lord of Batzu .

Becoming a Lord of Batzu is a privilege that many devils dream of.

According to legend, the one who removed Nessus, the eight remaining high lords of the Nine Prisons of Bato, were originally all ordinary lords of Batzu.

One can imagine how attractive it would be for a devil to obtain such a top-level entry level.

However, power and duty are always indivisible, and in order to have power, it is necessary to fulfill reciprocal obligations.

Every Lord of Batzu must manage his territory with his heart - if he does not manage it well, he will lose the favor of Bato's power at the least, and at worst he will directly suffer the humiliation of demotion.

In the world of Bato, where mercy is withering and treacherous, Lord Batzu not only has to face the pressure of managing his territory, but also has to be careful of the calculations of other demons around him.

However, "open guns are easy to block and dark arrows are difficult to prevent", and cases of being cautious for thousands of years but losing all hands with one move are everywhere in Barto.

There are some extremely powerful devils, even if they are very confident in their own strength, they will not go to enclose a territory and take the initiative to become an independent Lord of Batex.

Because the stakes are too high to do so, and most sane devils can't make that kind of determination.

So in the end, if you want to become a lord of Batzu, you need to at least first seek refuge by swearing allegiance to a certain devil duke.

But what does this have to do with Quest?

He is not the devil of Batzu and whether he can be favored by Bato's power or not does not matter to him at all.

What Quest really wanted was that he would be able to get the autonomy granted by Barto after the settlement was elevated to a town.

And this is closely related to the preparations formulated by the Blue Dragon in order to deal with possible troubles.

"Are you sure you want to ...... Boom Town, as your own territory?"

To Quest's surprise, after he submitted the application form, Director Tieflin, who didn't seem to be very easy to deal with, didn't embarrass himself too much, and even double-checked whether he really made up his mind.

"Of course, I will manage this territory with my heart, implement Bato's will, and ...... the glory of the Nine Prisons"

In the personal study notes of Count Devil Kunini, there is a summary entitled "Thirteen Standard Ways to Deal with Questions from Superiors", at which point, in order to make the answer more standard, Quest chose one of the passages and repeated it completely.

"Well, in that case," Director Tieflin tilted his head in contemplation, and the young blue dragon felt a looming spell fluctuation appear, and it seemed that the other party was reporting the situation to a higher-ranking Bato official, "Well, I'll provide you with the appropriate authorization procedures." ”

"So, what else do I need to do, like fill out some forms?" asked Quest.

"That's not necessary, but you'll need to pay three soul prisms as a fee for this business. ”

Collecting money is easy to do, which is an unwritten iron law of Bato's Nine Prisons.

After receiving Quis's payment, the Tieflin waved his hand and summoned a spell that resembled a typewriter.

Stretching out his finger and pressing it on the keyboard with a few "crackles", a purgatory-language authorization letter was spit out by the machine.

Quest left his own secret seal on the power of attorney, and the Tieflin stamped his own seal.

After completing this last step, the originally ordinary parchment authorization letter suddenly emitted a pitch-black glow.

Director Tieflin breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and solemnly handed the power of attorney to Quis, "Now, you are the lord of 'Prosperity Town', and given that this Bato town is located in the bottomless abyss, the taxes that need to be paid this year can be halved......"

After patiently listening to the other party's advice, especially the detailed explanation of the need to pay taxes, Quest warmly thanked him with a "grateful face" before walking out of the office of the Bato logistics department in the Acid Mist Canyon plane.

"That horned demon really doesn't know whether to live or die, and he actually dares to apply to become the lord of Batzu in the bottomless abyss. However, this stupid guy has given me a way to make money. ”

Because of the difference in rank, Director Tieflin couldn't see through the young blue dragon's body, and his authority was not enough to read the details of the letter of appointment that Ques obtained when he returned to the front line of the bloody battle yesterday, so he thought that Ques was a horned demon.

Although Director Tieflin is not optimistic about Quest's behavior of demarcating the territory in the Acid Mist Canyon, based on the regulations of the logistics management department of Bartow, he will still prepare a logistics material for infrastructure construction.

However, the Tifflin supervisor personally felt that it was better to postpone the distribution of the supplies, so as not to be wasted.

"That thriving town...... Oh, with such a lord, I guess this town doesn't have many days to live. ”

Therefore, the reason why the young blue dragon was able to complete the procedures so quickly was actually because this Tieflin wanted to get a "kickback".

So, isn't it true that Quest doesn't know what's going on here? Well, he really doesn't know.

However, the young blue dragon has achieved his goal, and what he is interested in is not those petty profits - he is still busy amassing wealth.

That's the number one priority!

And for a five-colored dragon, especially a blue dragon with red roots, it is normal to urge some "old acquaintances" who have had a holiday with themselves and want to pit themselves to pay taxes according to the law.

After all, the law of the ancestors cannot be abolished.

After completing the formalities and returning to Prosperity Town, which had just acquired his name, Quest rushed into his camp before he could arrange other affairs, and began to learn some permissions by reading the authorization "Prosperity Town Lord Authorization Letter".

"The lords of the town of Bato have the right to recover the commercial tax from the merchants who evade taxes. ”

"The lords of the town of Bato have the right to set different rates of taxation for different vendors, depending on the circumstances. ”

"The lords of the town of Bato have the right to set prices for certain goods, and to make a reasonable premium depending on the circumstances. ”

......

"Within the limits of the town, the final interpretation of all matters concerning business operations shall be vested in the lord of the town of Bato. ”

Seeing these kind terms, a smile of relief appeared on Quis's face.

It's good to be in order.
