Chapter 264: The Royal Family Comes
readx;
As a martial artist, every third, sixth, and ninth order, the strength will improve by leaps and bounds, in addition to these three orders, although each order will have a significant improvement, but relatively speaking, the gap is relatively small. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although the difference between the ninth order and the tenth order is a grade, but ten ninth orders are enough to deal with a tenth order, usually they are stubbornly victorious, the so-called two fists are difficult to fight against four hands, really fighting, just control skills and control spells can achieve infinite dizziness, how to fight such a battle? No matter how high the strength is, it can't withstand it.
Under the governance of Hana, the free city is developing at an astonishing speed, and the tax is changing with each passing day, after more than half a year of development, the tax revenue has increased more than ten times compared with the beginning!
With the development of commerce, other walks of life have also developed rapidly, and major mercenary groups, major merchant groups, and major knight orders have migrated over.
There are many merchants in the free city, and the merchants need the protection of the mercenary group and the knights, with the merchants, the mercenary group, the major chambers of commerce, and the merchant groups smell the smell of money and rush to establish branches.
With the influx of major teams, the price of land in the Free City began to rise wildly, and since all the shops belonged to the principality, the teams could only rent at a high price!
According to Lu Yi's philosophy, the land must be nationalized, no matter how much money you spend, you can only buy a temporary right of use, this right of use may only be a few years, the longest will not exceed ten years, if the expiration of the term, at the same price, have the right to leisurely renew the lease, that's all.
As long as you pay enough fees, you will never lose the ownership of the house, but this is not the case with all commercial shops, whether it is land or buildings, they are state-owned, and only sell the right to use them, and the term is not long, and the longest is not allowed to exceed ten years.
In order to make the business district more reasonable, Lu Yijiang temporarily slowed down the construction of the dungeon and mobilized 10,000 seventh-order architects to carry out an all-round transformation of the entire city.
All the buildings were bulldozed, and then new houses and shops were rebuilt on the flat ground, and the newly renovated Free City has wide roads, tall and neat buildings, and the façade houses facing the street are spacious and magnificent...... After the replanning, the free city was divided into several districts, including living areas, commercial areas, entertainment areas, and storage areas...... Each district has its own role, and it is not confusing or identical.
With the implementation of the plan, merchants from all over the country have been given the greatest convenience, goods extend in all directions, and the traffic on the streets of several major commercial areas and storage areas is endless, and at all times, you can see the traffic groups and crowds on the road.
The construction speed of 10,000 seventh-order earth mages is very fast, there are detailed planning drawings in hand, the construction is surprisingly fast, expanding at the speed of each street, in just a few months, the entire free city will be renewed, and the next thing to do is to take the Grand Duke's Mansion as the center, extend to the surroundings, and radiate ...... The great changes in the free city have spread to every city and even every village within a radius of thousands of miles with the spread of merchants from all over the world! It has become the most sensational news in the entire business circle.
Merchants are all chasing profits, with the rise of the free city, more and more merchants rushed over, the development of the free city has reached an astonishing level, 10,000 seventh-order mage construction team has been constantly building, can barely meet the needs of development!
The rise of the Free City did not affect the financial resources of the other principalities, on the contrary...... With the rise of the Principality of Freedom, merchants have come and gone more frequently, and each principality is a beneficiary, but even so, envy, jealousy and hatred are still unavoidable, but ...... Now we don't know much about the details of the free city, so it is still in the exploration stage for the time being.
In the passage of time, half a year passed in a blink of an eye, and the parasite of the brain-eating worm entered the maturity period again, and after fusing more than seven hundred parasitic brain-eating worm splitting bodies in the body of the eighth-order master, the brain-eating worm finally reached the ninth order!
For other magical beasts, once the strength reaches the ninth order, the strength will take a big step forward by leaps and bounds, but this is not the case with brain-eating insects, because the brain-eating insects themselves have no energy, and they do not have active attack skills, so they are reflected in their strength, and they are more passive defense! In terms of attack alone, there is still no power, and it does not reflect how strong the strength is.
After devouring all the splits, the brain-eating worm finally reached the strength of the ninth order, but the last ability was still not comprehended, which made Lu Yi more and more worried.
Brain-eating insects are different from other magical beasts, there is no energy in the body, so even if you learn combat skills, there is no energy to release, so Lu Yi does not dare to find a random beast skill to learn, but if you don't learn it, although the brain-eating insect is powerful, it can only defend and counterattack, but cannot take the initiative to attack, which is a very helpless thing.
After the strength reaches the ninth order, if you want to improve, you need a large number of ninth-order masters, at least you need to find seven hundred ninth-order masters, parasitized by brain-eating insects, and you can break through the brain-eating insects to the tenth order at one time, but the question now is, how can there be so many ninth-order masters who can parasitize you?
The two major demons, as well as the three major forces, are a total of five super powerful power groups, but together, there are only more than eighty ninth-order masters, and on average, each force only has a dozen ninth-order masters, which is already very strong.
Seventeen tenth-order masters, more than eighty ninth-order masters, this is Lu Yi's current high-end force, this is a huge force comparable to the royal family, but it is not enough to support the brain-eating worm to rise to the first order again!
Forced to be helpless, Lu Yi could only temporarily parasitize eight hundred brain-eating insects in the body of the horned sheep on the Guardian Island, although this is not bad, but the efficiency is too low.
After the division of the brain-eating worm enters the mature stage, it can continue to divide, but in fact, if it is divided again, it is the rank of the splitting body that is improved, and the overall efficiency is very low.
The division of the brain-eating worm itself has no rank, and it is parasitic in the body of several orders of organisms, and the strength after maturity is several levels, although the individual strength is very low and the energy is very small, but seven or eight hundred are gathered together, and it is enough to break the order.
If it is divided indefinitely, then as long as it takes two or three years, the brain-eating worm can exterminate the horned sheep on the Moon Island, but the actual effect is not good, the strength of the horned sheep is too low, even if all of them are parasitic and fused, they may not be able to raise the parasite of the brain-eating worm to the ninth order, and the efficiency is low, but now Lu Yi doesn't have a very good way, he can't make a random move, and if he sees the ninth-order, he will parasitize, right?
For the enemy, Lu Yi can be as cold as ice, but for strangers who are not enemies, Lu Yi can't be so mad, those who die in the hands of Lu Yi are all well-deserved, and they all have their own causes of death, and the others Lu Yi doesn't understand, so he can't take the initiative to take action and slaughter on a large scale.
Under Hana's governance, the free city is progressing step by step, watching the free city become more and more prosperous and rich under her own governance, Hana has a sweet smile on her face at any time, that kind of unparalleled sense of achievement, which makes her extremely satisfied, plus Lu Yi accompanies her and the child at home every day, life is here, Hana is really satisfied, there is nothing to pursue.
But no one can say for sure what is going on in the world, joy is always too short, sorrow is always too long, and just when Hana was about to invest a lot of money to expand the free city outward again, trouble came to the door.
In the huge and luxurious Grand Duke's Mansion, Hana stood at the gate with a smile on her face, and on the passage in front of the Grand Duke's Mansion, a luxurious carriage was slowly coming.
Of course, Hana will not be unaware of this pattern, this is the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Gary! The Duchy of Senhong is a principality under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Gary.
In the warm welcome of Hana and the staff of the Grand Duke's Mansion, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the Grand Duke's Mansion, and several eighth-order guards quickly ran over, placed a wooden bench in front of the carriage, and then respectfully opened the door.
At the door of the carriage, a middle-aged man about forty years old proudly walked out of the carriage with his chest held proudly, stepped on the wooden bench that had been arranged, and jumped to the ground.
Looking around, the middle-aged man in his forties took off his gloves and looked towards the welcoming crowd, and the moment he saw Hana, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up instantly, but he quickly covered up the past and did not attract everyone's attention, in fact...... No one dared to look at him!
As the tax inspector of the kingdom, he has always been in the hands of the royal family, and it is related to money and interests, which is not enough for any outsider, and only members of the family will pay more attention to the interests of the family and will not bend the law for personal gain.
Ketu is the fourth prince of the Gary Kingdom, and he is one of the most promising candidates to take over the throne of the next country, and the reason why he came to the free city this time is for merit! If he can get more benefits from the free city, then he has made great contributions to the family and laid a solid foundation for the future throne.
The development of the Senhong Principality in the past year or so has been very clear, and he has also investigated Hana thoroughly, including who she is, who her parents are, and even who her grandparents and grandparents are.
To put it simply, this is a woman without any background, without any background, with only an otaku husband, tired of being at home every day, accompanying her children during the day and her wife at night, never practicing, and a typical lack of ambition!
At the beginning of the investigation, Ketu was not without suspicions, but after a little understanding, he gave up, this nest of men has no status in the family, basically a nanny, everything in the Senhong Principality is decided by Hana, from beginning to end, Lu Yi has never been involved, and he has never interfered with any of Hana's decisions!
In the free city, Hana is the king, not to mention Lu Yi, let alone interference, has not entered the decision-making circle from beginning to end, not even a position, to put it simply...... That's a civilian!
