Chapter 17 Changes

The addition of a new bank did not cause any waves. The impact was not as good as being splashed with feces in front of Count Rinares' door.

The damage caused is not great, but it is extremely insulting.

There are many ruthless methods of political struggle, but this kind of indiscriminate means is obviously the play of the market.

After the incident, Caesar IV was furious at the court and ordered the city guards to investigate thoroughly.

The ruffians caught a lot of them, but unfortunately they still couldn't find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

However, the deterrent effect was still very obvious, and all parties stopped one after another in response to Count Rinares' small actions.

Hudson, who was thousands of miles away, immediately showed a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth after receiving the news.

Although I don't know if anyone gave Caesar IV advice, judging from the performance in this matter, it is obvious that he has grown.

Despite his abilities, Count Rinares is the king's loyal dog.

It seems that he is causing trouble, but without Caesar IV's hint, Count Rinares will automatically choose to give up after realizing the trouble, and it is impossible to discuss it in the court.

In essence, he is taking the blame for the king and the reformers, and if he is abandoned at this time, the hearts of the reformers will be scattered.

There is no doubt that in the current complex situation, it must be a good thing for the kingdom to have a king with political ability.

Hudson has lived a very fulfilling life these days. The liveliness of the orc empire makes him have endless melons to eat every day.

The vast and sparsely populated prairie is a natural hunting ground for undead creatures and demons. Something happened, and I couldn't find out for a while.

Of course, Hudson must have a part of the credit behind this.

The prisoners captured in front of him sold everything that could be sold, and the rest was worthless, and Hudson did not waste it.

While the orcs organized an army to encircle and suppress the undead, Bear Ston was randomly thrown into the depths of the grassland.

First the lone orcs were unlucky, and then the small tribes suffered. After successive successful hunts, large tribes also became their prey.

It was not easy to quell the scourge of the undead, but the backyard caught fire again, and the orcs were exhausted.

The enemy is in turmoil, and the borders are too peaceful.

The freedmen on the border gradually settled down after harvesting a season of grain.

On an inconspicuous afternoon, the smuggling trade was reopened. It's just that both the scale and the types of commodities traded are far less than before.

No matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, and Hudson will not dislike having more money. Moreover, this kind of unequal trade is essentially an economic plunder.

Real money is rarely received anymore, and now the only commodities that the orcs can trade for are furs and slaves.

Cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock are now lacking in the Orc Empire. Fresh out of the drought, it will take a long time to recover.

Occasionally, some magic cores, magic crystals, and magic materials will flow out, but this is only a small amount. For these strategic resources, all ethnic groups are still very strictly supervised.

However, under the deliberate manipulation of some people, these goods are the only ones that will not be depressed compared to other commodities.

On the surface, no one dares to sell, but in private, for the sake of profit, some people can't help but take it out and trade.

After all, there is only one disease in this world that has no rule of law.

While doing things and playing trade and plunder, the Near East Command was very busy.

It can be said unceremoniously that the orc prairie is chaotic, and Lord Hudson has the final say.

……

In the laboratory, after examining the body of the fallen angel again, Hudson still returned to no avail.

It turns out that trying to redeem the fallen angels is not as simple as imagined.

The power system has changed from light to darkness, and then wants to change back, it is not at all Hudson's current knowledge reserve that can find a solution.

The matter was not resolved, and it still did not affect Hudson's good mood.

Whether it is an angel or a fallen angel, the biggest characteristic is that the power is pure.

There is such a ready-made template, which is the best reference for studying the laws of darkness.

If it weren't for the short time he spent in the eighth order, and the body, soul, and life seeds in his body had not reached the peak, he could have tried to break through.

It is difficult for others to comprehend one law, but he has touched seven or eight laws.

Although it was only a superficial taste, I finally touched the door, compared to those who have worked hard all their lives and don't even have thoughts, I don't know how many times better.

Every time he thought about it, Hudson was helpless.

The amount of comprehension does not mean that it must be powerful, the key is to understand deeply.

The path of the Sanctuary is a path of continuous comprehension of the law. The more profound the comprehension, the stronger your own strength.

When manpower is exhausted, if you want to go further, you must choose a path to specialize, rather than dabbling in multiple laws at the beginning.

According to the records of the dragons, there is also a conflict between the laws.

At the same time, he comprehended a variety of laws and wanted to successfully break through the Sanctuary. Either comprehend one law deep enough to suppress the others, or all of them develop in a balanced manner.

Hudson never imagined that Hudson would use these lessons to warn the dragon's ancestors and his juniors.

As for the authenticity, every few thousand years on Dragon Island, there will be a baby dragon who does not believe in evil to verify.

According to Maxim, a half-breed baby of the dragon clan, who inherited the talent of his parents at the same time, was born with two laws.

Among the dragons of the same age, he is a sign of a genius dragon at first glance, but it is a pity that he is arrogant and wants to keep the two conflicting laws in balance.

It dragged on for more than a thousand years, and it was not until Maxim left that he crossed the threshold of the Sanctuary.

People are dragons, not only can they eat talent food, but they also have a long life!

As long as you are willing to work hard, after trying thousands of times and 800 times, you will eventually be able to find a balance.

Instead of Hudson, the grass on the grave was cut stubble after stubble.

It is precisely because of this that Hudson is so happy when he is ahead of the other laws in his comprehension of the laws of darkness.

Anyway, let's break through the Sanctuary first. Anyway, there is no regulation, and after the Holy Domain, there will be no other laws to comprehend.

Even if there is a conflict of laws, it doesn't matter. Hudson was only comprehending, not trying to control.

"Alright, you can continue the retreat!"

Hudson said, waving his hand.

Even if you sign a contract, you still don't really belong to yourself.

There are doubts about the loyalty of the fallen angels, and Hudson naturally won't give them a hanging, and cultivation still depends on them.

Anyway, as creatures that everyone on the Aslant Continent shouted at, they had nothing to do other than retreat and cultivate.

"Duke, it's not good!"

"Something happened to the Cursed Lands!"

Seeing Tom's panicked expression, Hudson hurriedly asked:

"What happened?"

The Land of the Damned, a special being in the Snow Moon Realm.

Hudson built extensively except in the Cursed Lands, which were not developed.

Even for safety, a sealing magic circle could be set up in the cursed land, but the accident still happened.

"There was turmoil in the midst of the curse, and it was suspected that the opposite side was attacking the magic array. The mage group has passed to bless the seal, but the situation is still not optimistic! ”

Hearing Tom's answer, Hudson frowned.

The Cursed Lands have existed for too long, and I don't know what is sealed inside.

Unknown means risk, for the sake of safety, we can only bless more seals on the original sealing magic array.

"Immediately draft a document and report it to the kingdom, so that Your Majesty can send a master who is proficient in seals to come over for reinforcements as soon as possible, and inform the officers and soldiers who are on leave to return to the camp immediately to prepare for battle!

Send a letter in my name to invite all the strong people in the territory to go to the cursed land to bless the seal! ”

Hudson ordered decisively.

Today, unlike in the past, there were two or three kittens and dogs in the former Territory Wizard Regiment, and now the Territory Wizard Regiment has been able to rank in the top three in the kingdom.

The intermediate magicians and junior magicians who used to be the main force now only have the role of doing chores on the side, and those below the magister have to be low-key.

Looking at the magic towers under construction, you can see that the Snow Moon Leader Magician Group has already stood up.

To be able to develop so rapidly, it is definitely impossible to cultivate it yourself.

Most of the magical workers trained by Hudson were still mage apprentices, and only a few lucky ones became real mages.

The Wizard Corps was able to grow rapidly, all thanks to Lord Hudson's krypton!

Magical exploration is very expensive, as long as you are willing to spend money and resources, few mages can resist the temptation.

Even a magician from a noble family covets the magic potion in Lord Hudson's hands. It is impossible to abandon the family and run over, but it is still possible to do odd jobs under the name of a name.

Loyal or not, Hudson doesn't care at all. As long as you can come and help him with his work, then you can get a salary.

The effect is very obvious, in just a few years, the Snow Moon Territory has become a magical holy place on the continent, attracting a large number of magicians from the North Continent and the Middle Continent to come and settle.

The number of mages living in the Snow Moon Territory has surpassed the mage group in the kingdom. There are dozens of eighth-order magicians registered in the Light Lord's Mansion.

However, these guys are basically here to work part-time, and there are only eight people who really choose to defect to Hudson, and five of them only break through after defecting.

can run over neatly, mainly because they have no restraints. The family was wiped out in the previous continental war.

Most of the mages currently living in the Snow Moon Territory are from countries that were destroyed in the continental war.

It's just that some people still have families, and they still fantasize about reviving their families, and they only work part-time jobs for Lord Hudson just for the sake of compensation, and they are not officially included in the establishment of the territorial magician group.

Not only Xueyueling, but also the countries that survived have eaten a wave of talent dividends, and the number of masters has exceeded that before the war.

In addition to magicians, Hudson also recruited quite a few other professions. Especially after winning the title of Marshal of the Terrans, there is an endless stream of people who come to defect.

If Hudson had the heart, he would personally come to the door to get a corporal Lixian, and it was estimated that most of the strong people who temporarily lived in Xueyue Ling would defect to him.

It's just that Hudson doesn't like to be strong, and with a momentary touch, he fools people in, and he will still leave in the future.

Of course, there is another practical reason - can't afford it!

Officially joining the magician group, it is full of various benefits. On average, Hudson spends hundreds of thousands of gold coins per year on each archmage.

There is no way, although the cost of magic potions is low, but the cost of other magic materials, Hudson can't beat it.

What's more, in addition to these daily expenses, it costs money to build a mage tower, build a laboratory, and pay them a lot of salaries.

In contrast, temporary workers are much simpler. Say hello to something, and after finishing your work, send a few bottles of magic potions that are hard to find from the outside world.

The usual daily expenses are their own business, and they don't need to worry about it.

If they cooperated more often, Hudson would also provide them with a piece of land to build their own mage towers.

Maybe it's because the time is too short, and I still miss my homeland, and there are many strong people who have been authorized, but there is still no one who actually builds a magic tower.

In normal times, the mage tower of the territory is borrowed to conduct various experiments.

Naturally, the rent does not exist, and the arrogant Hudson does not account for this small account.

In addition to the jobs provided by Hudson, there is also the laboratory in the Mage Tower.

Magister or above can apply directly. The rest of the magicians need to queue up, usually once a month or two.

As the number of mage towers in the territory continues to increase, this situation of queuing up for appointments will gradually improve.

Spending a lot of money to build so many mage towers will naturally not be purely for public welfare. While attracting mages to settle down, it can also strengthen the defense of the territory.

Each mage tower is a natural defensive stronghold. In times of war, mages can use the magic circle on the tower to launch attacks on their enemies.

This method of defense is very popular in the southern continent. When the kingdom's army was operating in the Papal States, they suffered from the Mage's Tower.

There was no way to cause obstacles, mainly because the surrounding armies were defeated, and without the cooperation of teammates, the mage master alone was crispy.

The kingdom did not follow suit, the main thing was that the government was too poor, and the noble lords were too poor!

Build a mage tower and complete all kinds of test equipment inside, ranging from hundreds of thousands of gold coins to millions of gold coins.

After completion, the annual maintenance cost is also a large expense. It's okay for someone to use it, but it's pure blood loss if no one uses it.

The most important thing is that this thing can't be moved, and once it's built, it can only function in place, and the limitations are too great.

For the same money, it is better to add a few more magic crystal cannons and train a few more legions.

After all, orcs are not fools, and the border line between the two countries is so long, it doesn't affect anything to attack in another place.

What's more, it is not enough to have a tower, but also to have a great mage in charge to be able to play the full effect of the mage tower.

There are more strong people, that is, in recent years. In the past, the Grand Magus was a rare sight.

If it weren't for the end of the elemental tide, the Great Magister would still be a rare animal, comparable to the current powerhouse of the Sanctuary.

Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while!

It has attracted many strong people to settle down, and now it is time for them to play their role. Vaguely, Hudson had an ominous premonition in his mind.

The shadow of the "10,000-year catastrophe" resurfaced in his heart. Hudson has not forgotten that this year marks the 100,000th year of the sacred calendar.

Combined with the end of the elemental tides, the cursed land that had been silent for countless years on the continent with constant wars and frequent demonic disasters also suddenly moved, a proper sign of chaos.

Nervous, Hudson remained calm on his face.

"Maxim, Bear Stearns, let's go to the Cursed Lands first."
