Hanhai City is about to change its name again.

As soon as Zhou Shu and the Gray Witch entered the city, they heard a large number of merchants with sad faces talking about it. These people are all members of the Kou Chi Trading Company, and now Hanhai City is no longer the treaty port, and business cannot continue, so the name Hanhai City has naturally become a joke.

Strictly speaking, there is no half of the seaport city in the entire White Moon Country, and the whole country can only rely on land transportation for commodity exchange, transportation costs have risen sharply, and shipping companies have closed down. Now the economy of the White Moon Kingdom is basically in a precarious state, economic activities are gradually weakening, prices are rising, some port cities with no agriculture and only commerce have no cargo ships, and the people are about to starve.

Hanhai City is a typical city without agriculture, but it cannot be said that there is only commerce, and the fishing industry in Hanhai City is still very developed.

Although it is completely impossible to fish now, due to the huge scale of the fishery, the people and merchants of Hanhai City have their own set of pickled fish storage. Now the coastline is gone, leaving a large number of fish in the bare barren beach. The city lord of Hanhai City understood the crisis that the city would face after the trouble, and he didn't mention the economic aspect for the time being, but he definitely couldn't let the people go hungry. So the poor families of the city were hired to collect fish, pickle them, and store them in official warehouses until the Great Famine came to their own use.

Zhou Shu ate almond supplements, and walked into the city with the gray witch. As soon as he entered the door, he was stopped by the people of Kou Chi Trading Company. It's not a bad thing, that person was ordered by President Il to pick people up here. Zhou Shu was very easy to recognize, and he was decisively recognized at a glance.

"Mr. Zhou Shu, oh, and this lady. It's still early, and the two of you must have spent the night in the suburbs last night, so you can't have a good rest, right? Our president has arranged a place for you to live and a banquet......

Waiting for the rabbit at this gate was a gray-haired, pot-bellied old man. He originally wanted to be polite, take these two people to take a shower, have a meal, and then go to see his boss full of energy.

Zhou Shu waved his hand, he didn't have this spare time. "Don't bother, take me straight to Il. ”

Il has been busy lately, and the climate in the kingdom is starting to show signs of anomaly as the world's oceans are fleeing. The disappearance of major transport channels will be devastating to the economy. Gradually, the coveters of the new land began to act......

With so much chaos, Il, as the king of the business empire, needs to think no less than the royal council.

Unlike him, the sick princess woke up early this morning and received the expected good news. The encirclement and suppression of the Falcon mercenary legion, led by the five cities of Long Grass City, Garden City, Mangrove City, Tosu City, and Iron Stone City, ended with 47,000 deaths.

The sick princess learned about this matter from the official channel, that is, the incident report submitted by the five city lords.

She grabbed a note from a carrier pigeon at the usual morning meeting, feigned anger, and slammed the table.

"These guys don't want their heads, do they? What if they get into trouble and turn around and turn around against us?!"

"Got them in trouble. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said this with a tired and weak expression. He's too old. Cheng dù, who is so big that it is not strange to die at any time.

With the poor economic situation of the White Moon Royal Family, the Chancellor of the Exchequer has been able to survive until now without being crushed to death by pressure, which is already very unexpected by the sick princess. However, this does not mean that the old man can continue to persevere, and now there is a different price increase in the whole kingdom. The economic environment, which had always been able to communicate with each other, suddenly fell into a quagmire that could not help itself.

"Your Highness the Princess. The Prime Minister knocked on the table and reminded, "I think I should remind you that the main topic of our meeting this morning is 'reinventing the trade routes' and opening up trade channels that can replace the waterways." We used to rely too much on ocean ships and too much on land routes. Now instead of using precious time. To get angry at the nonsense behavior of individual city lords, it is better to seize the time to make amends for past mistakes. ”

The Prime Minister's words. It can be regarded as an understatement that the matter of sending troops to the falcon slayer in five cities is a personal act. The sick princess knew he would do this, but it was not surprising.

"I said Prime Minister. The sick princess stood up from her seat, crossed her hands on her hips, and stared at the nasty little old man in front of her. The prime minister's surname is Xili, the title of earl, only the sick princess has always called him the prime minister instead of the earl of Xili. "On the question of trade routes. I've already said that those energetic city lords will take care of it themselves. They have time to spend 50,000 lives to provoke the mercenary group, and they must also have the manpower and funds to open up a trade route. ”

The Prime Minister's eyelids were all over, "Your Highness Princess, I have personally received information that the Eagle Slayer mercenary army has slaughtered a small town in the Rough Plains region. The name seems to be Berry Town, so Long Grass City will unite with the rest of the city lords to clean up the Falcon Slayers. And their defeat is most likely due to the reason why Your Highness gave away the machine gun to that gangster. ”

"Berry Town?" the sick princess hadn't heard of this town. "You mean a town was destroyed by a mercenary group?"

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

"When is the matter. ”

"I don't know about that. ”

"The Falcon Slayer only left White Moon City for three days, and they used this time to destroy a small town located within the boundaries of Long Grass City. Then the Lord of Changcao City united with the four main cities, mobilized five legions at the same speed as light, and were completely wiped out at the same speed as light. Prime Minister, that's what you're trying to say?"

Just walking to the rough plains usually takes a day or two. The sick princess was accustomed to the prime minister lying to herself, but this lie seemed to be a little too perfunctory, which angered her.

The prime minister didn't speak, pretending that his old ears couldn't hear such long sentences. The sick princess smiled and said nothing, she knew that it was the prime minister who should be worried now, not herself.

As for the issue of the opening of trade routes, the sick princess forcibly ended the topic with the sentence 'no money'. Anyway, as the capital of the country, the Baiyue City trade road extends in all directions, and there is nothing to repair, and she can't care about the affairs of other lords. She was now immersed in joy and joy as 50,000 local forces had been wiped out, and the Prime Minister seemed intent on turning the Falcon Slayer into a bandit.

This is good news for the sick princess, and when the falcon slayer has made a mess and taught the restless lords of the kingdom a lesson, he can stand up and appease them. At that time, the Knight King can apply for abdication. It's up to yourself to put on the crown.

The sick princess was originally not interested in the throne, but now that she wants to marry Zhou Shu earlier, she is naturally more concerned about her coronation. If she marries Zhou Shu, a foreigner, as the first princess, then the order of succession of the sick princess will be shaken because of Zhou Shu's foreign blood. When she becomes queen, it doesn't matter.

In Yir's office, Zhou Shu and the Gray Witch sat in antique chairs. Looking around at the luxurious décor of the room. The two of them came directly to Yir's side, hoping to complete the mission and return to White Moon City sooner.

They didn't have much time to pay attention to the details of the décor, and one of the bookshelves in the room moved away from itself, revealing the door behind it.

Ilr grabbed a middle-aged man who looked haggard and opened the secret door to appear.

"That's him, Lord of Hanhai City, Duke Herodo. ”

Yir threw the Duke of Hanhai City in front of Zhou Shu very casually, and then turned around to make tea for the two of them and himself.

Zhou Shu was too lazy to take care of this guy Yier, if it weren't for the needs of work. He didn't even want to see this guy. The Grey Witch did the same, yawning and staring at the Duke who had fallen at her feet.

What Zhou Shu needs to do at the moment is to ask the whereabouts of the Ultimate Cultivation Magic Array from this guy's mouth. Master Zhou thinks that this job is more suitable for the sick princess, and even the fir princess was successfully trained by the sick princess back then, and this guy in front of him should be no problem.

Unfortunately, after making the tea, Il gave a little introduction to the punishment that the duke had suffered on his side in recent days. Zhou Shu listened casually, and no longer thought that he could solve this guy by ordinary means.

This duke has already been castrated, and it was castrated with hammers and pliers. This kind of punishment didn't make him speak. Il felt that maybe he really didn't know where the ultimate cultivation magic array went.

No, Zhou Shu spewed out a mouthful of white air. Summoned the Twelve-Armed Woman.

The twelve-armed woman is still a vampire who bites people and hurts, and her bare ass suddenly appears, making her face stinky and ugly. However, after seeing Zhou Shu, out of instinct, she still saluted her master.

"I know I've broken my promise. Zhou Shu said to the twelve-armed woman: "But I need your help now." ”

In fact, in the Book of Summoning of Zhou Shu, there are quite a lot of vampires who have landed. It was better to have an acquaintance, so he called out the twelve-armed woman.

She had been given a free identity, of course, verbally, and the Book of Summoning still bound her. Just now she was lecturing in a class of 80 people, and her job was a foreign teacher. Teach English. Zhou Shu's summoning made her, a beautiful female lecturer, disappear out of thin air, and only a pile of female clothes left on the podium was still warm.

As an English teacher, she is actually completely unqualified, so it is not very formal to ask her to be a cram school for diplomacy. The Twelve-Armed Girl believed that except for a few sleeping students in the back row, the rest of the students had seen her disappear into thin air. In other words, if she can be free again and return to first-world China, she will have to look for a job again.

The Twelve-Armed Woman wasn't a whiner, or she might have used her mouth to express her displeasure before she rebelled before. Faced with her master's request, she opened her mouth and leaked fangs, and bit the duke's wrist, who was lying very weakly on the ground.

The Duke quickly changed from a weak possessor of magic power to a weak possessor of vampire magic power, and he confessed that he had indeed obtained the ultimate cultivation magic array. As for where that thing goes......

"I have dedicated it to the Knight of the White Moon......" the Duke sighed, "I know that the Herodot family is not capable of possessing this treasure, so it is better to present it to the king than to keep him with me." ”

The Duke also said that one of his illegitimate children had cultivated two moon-level in the Ultimate Magic Array. The reason why bastard children are allowed to cultivate and not their own sons is mainly because they are afraid that outsiders will be suspicious.

Duke Herodotus said that his two illegitimate daughters must have been looking for him.

"They didn't get my surname, they didn't get any status, and no one even knew they were my children. But they got their father's love from me, and I was going to let them protect the family, but now it seems that they have harmed them. ”

"That's right. Zhou Shu sighed and killed the duke. He doesn't need this vampire duke to do things for himself, if there's really anything he needs. He will directly use the Book of Summoning to conjure it, anyway, this guy is not worth much, and he doesn't consume much mana.

The Gray Witch sighed, "I hope I don't meet his children, it's not so easy for me to deal with it." ”

"If you encounter it, kill it......" Zhou Shu didn't use the Book of Summoning to observe too strong martial artists. Not so nervous. Princess Fuhu is only a three-line moon level, and the children of this duke are much stronger than Princess Fuhu. Zhou Shu is only a third-series star now, and only relying on the power brought by the martial artist, he will be completely abused by the other party.

As for the place where the ultimate cultivation magic array went, in fact, Yier had already guessed it.

There is nothing in this world that allows a duke to be castrated and remain silent, except for the knight king.

The Knight King is a myth in the White Moon Country, and he is considered a living god. He was not short for 50 years, but he delivered the kingdom from disaster. The people have not forgotten the peace he brought.

Baiyue Kingdom is not China in the information age, and the information that the people receive every day is limited, so they are not as forgetful as the Chinese, even if there is nothing to remind them all the time, they will be grateful and worship the Knight King.

Zhou Shu knew what kind of person the Knight King was, and the Book of Summoning had already recorded the appearance of this old man, which was a strong Gundam. An old man with white hair and a long beard.

He has a little less summon points than the Golden Knight, which means that he is a warrior. can't beat the Golden Knight, who is also a martial artist. Compared to the image of the Knight King in the Book of Summoning, Zhou Shu also prefers to see the Golden Knight.

Although the Golden Knight is also as muscular as Princess Fuhu, the lines are very beautiful. The back of her back is thick enough to make her back have a beautiful slit, and with the super long blonde hair fluttering in the wind, it looks very powerful.

However, the back of the Knight King is not completely unsightly. There is a black birthmark that looks like a map of Italian boots, which is also recorded in the Book of Summons as a creature called 'Shadow of Calamity', with one summon point.

The Book of Zhou can't summon this thing, and the Book of Summoning is not omnipotent. This shadow symbolizes trouble. According to the Golden Knight's description of the events of the year, this thing can't be killed at all, and after sticking to people, it can make people change their minds like ghosts.

In Zhou Shu's view, the Knight King's mind changed dramatically because the two femme fatales, Shireen and the Golden Knight, wanted to kill the Knight King and the Shadow together......

Anyway, the shadow is a nuisance anyway, and so is the Knight King. If this guy is really restless, using the Ultimate Cultivation Magic Array and his brainless powder in the kingdom, he will soon be able to create a large number of super armies.

Zhou Shu and him have this conflict of interest, Master Zhou needs to conquer the world as much as possible, and this knight king is obviously a stumbling block.

Leaving from Il's side, Zhou Shu and the Gray Witch decided to rest in Hanhai City for a day, and then go directly back to White Moon City. They didn't have time to pass the news to the sick princess, and the guy only had time to answer the phone at night.

The two of them turned down the accommodation that Il had prepared and found a small inn to stay in, and they liked the tune of the people. In the room, a man and a woman sat in the only chair seat next to the bed, and talked about the 'Shadow of Calamity'.

How all the Chinese characters that appeared in the Book of Summoning, that is, the names of those creatures, were formulated, Lord Zhou was completely unclear.

The Gray Witch had never heard of any 'Shadow of Calamity', and for Zhou Shu's description, the Gray Witch, the Shadow Witch, thought for a while from a professional point of view, and did not find anything similar in her memory.

"It seems to me that the shadow you're talking about is just a self-aware shadow. The shadow summoned in shadow magic is nothing more than a projection of a high-latitude creature that cannot be detected by a three-dimensional creature, and strictly speaking, I control a high-latitude demon, not a shadow. So you only described the shadow, and I can't tell what kind of demon the shadow belongs to. ”

The influence of high-latitude creatures on this world is not very high, otherwise the gray witch would not have lived as a **silk for so many years, and shadow science would not have become an unpopular discipline.

Back then, the Gray Witch considered her employment after graduation, so she chose an unpopular major to sign up, but this thing was too cold, and she had to come to China with her brother to open a small bookstore and become a magician who fell into the secular world. This is worse than the angels who fell from heaven to hell.

Zhou Shu was a little disappointed in the expert Gray Witch, it seems that as long as all the experts speak seriously, they will only put forward some negative news, and there is no solution.

This time, he had wronged the Grey Witch, "Actually, I have a way to deal with that shadow monster." The Grey Witch shrugged, "I can use my demons and let them fight, if everyone lives in the same dimension." ”

Zhou Shu didn't understand what the so-called dimension was at all, he only knew that the zero dimension was the point, the first dimension was the line, the second dimension was the surface, and the third dimension was the world he lived in. As for the fact that the fourth dimension is a yarn, he doesn't know.

With the major he learned in college, he read a lot of science fiction, but he didn't understand it very well. Compared with those hard science fiction, he likes the kind of suspense novels with exquisite design in the background of science fiction, and he especially likes the theme of time travel.

Now that he's done crossing himself, he's now running into pretty scientific topics like hard sci-fi and magic, which makes his headaches worse. (To be continued......)
