From the hustle and bustle of the night to the bustle of the rising sun, there was only an interval of five or six hours in Liberty City.

By the time the sun was shining on the heads and faces of the people, the shops on the streets had already opened, and the houses around them were tall and concave, the short ones were the houses of the past and the tall ones were the new buildings, which were the changes brought to architecture by the massive use of fossils into mud and mud into stone with magic arrays, and the beginning of the appearance of cement.

Compared to when Solomon first arrived in the city, the changes here have been drastic, and they are still changing.

For example, the construction of the city wall to protect the city has been stopped, and in the past, when expanding the urban area, especially the area near the orcs, it was always carefully planned to expand a area, and then the city wall and the fortress were built to connect them, so that it was much safer, and the area of the city was effectively expanded.

This is a helpless situation in the face of war at any time, if there is no large army stationed, so that the orcs will not dare to attack, and the only way to complete the expansion of the city can be completed by building a wall enclosure through Guò.

However, this traditional model of enclosure and redevelopment has not kept up with the development of Liberty City, and in the expanding area of Liberty City in recent years, you can see some ruins and ruins in the area. It was a city wall that was still under construction, and it had not yet been repaired, or it had just begun to be repaired, and the needs of the municipal government had exceeded its limits, so it had to be abandoned and moved forward to reselect the limit, so that the broken wall was left there.

Eventually, the rulers of the Free City chose to abandon the old enclosure and siege model, and instead of using the walls to chase the pace of development, they allowed the city to expand.

In fact, such a scene is not only in the Free City, but also in San Quentin than this. Therefore, the constraints of the city wall on the development of the city have also been abandoned. Especially after those workshop districts were established.

in other cities of the kingdom. With the rapid development of the handicraft industry, the boundaries of the city that had been fortified by the walls disappeared, and only some of the most stubborn aristocratic domains and frontiers were still being built with new walls.

Of course, the reason why the Free City gave up on building a new wall enclosure was that in addition to the fact that the speed of the siege could not keep up with the development, there was one of the most important reasons.

Peace!

Since that battle, peace has remained to this day, and the Terrans and Orcs have become more and more harmonious in the city.

The later and later nightlife is the change that the orcs have brought to the city. Many of the orcs are accustomed to sitting around the campfire at night, roasting animal meat, drinking and chatting until late at night.

The city has grown accustomed to the presence and exit of the orcs, and for this habit, places like eateries and taverns have extended their business hours.

And in the morning, the orcs who are also accustomed to the city will live like Terrans, although the Pygs hired by the Terran boss have the privilege of waking up an hour later than the others, but they will also finish work an hour late, and as long as the Pigs feed them, their strength to do heavy lifting will make the boss very satisfied. It's hard to imagine that the always lazy Pigs could be so industrious. But that's the case, just because they want to stay in the city.

The Fox opened jewelry and clothing stores in the city. But they are usually the ones who manage and design, and the real processing and sewing are hired by the Boai Rabbits, who are the most popular hired everywhere they go, because they are the most honest and willing to work, and have few complaints, and they are good at farming, and they are equally hard workers as workers.

The Boai Rabbits are also very happy about their current situation, because although they are also very tired to be hired, it is far better than they were forced to work by other tribes before, and they will be eaten as food when famine comes, so all the Boai Rabbits under the rule of Walls and Rhine want to be hired by the inhabitants of the Free City, whether they are Terrans or the Rhine Lord, the Walls Lord, Miss Fawkes, and the Munk merchants who settled down after making a fortune.

The Munks are still the largest group of orc merchants, perhaps due to their natural tendency to make money on the move, rather than being factory owners and shopkeepers like the Fawkes.

On the street, there are also Walls in black police uniforms and the more majestic Rhine, who are Chris patrol houses, full-time law and order, replacing the old city guards, patrolling fixed areas and routes every day.

Of course, there are also some orcs who bring dirt, such as the Ritters, who also yearn for the city and want to stay, but they are not willing to work hard, so some people do what they usually do in the wild, stealing, making the words Ritter and thief almost synonymous.

This is the city of the free, which has changed since Solomon's departure, more open and more integrated on the basis of the original.

Solomon was sitting in front of Frangreen at this time, and he returned to Free City to visit Frangreen and Chris.

"Solomon, Agatha has caused you trouble, hasn't she? Last time she wrote me a letter saying that she had secretly followed you to Fadel. I only found out that you were so dangerous after Fadell had returned to the kingdom, and that child was so ignorant. Franklin said reproachfully.

Solomon, of course, knew that he actually cared about Agatha, but politely in the form of superficial reproach, wanting to hear what Solomon had to say about the day.

But in front of him, Solomon could not say anything about his actual relationship with Agatha, and could only vaguely say what happened to Del.

Fortunately, although the battle of Fadell was dangerous at the time, Franklin knew that when Solomon deliberately brought the topic to the amazing places where the undead wanted to build an immortal kingdom, Franklin did not pay attention to the details about Agatha.

"It seemed that it was really dangerous at that time, and the kid couldn't let her go on like this anymore. At last Franklin frowned, "I'll have to go to St. Quentin myself and bring her back." ”

"I don't think I need this, because she also knew that she was wrong, and knew how risky it was at that time, and dared to follow me out without permission. So I also taught her a hard lesson when I returned to St. Quentin. Solomon smiled involuntarily as he remembered how he had "taught" her, and it was a long night that ended until Agatha realized her mistake and begged for mercy.

"So, it won't happen again. Me with her mentor. The lady Cecilia had said the same. Now that Archmage Cecilia has joined the Kingdom Wizard Institute, and Agatha has entered as her assistant, the place is much stricter than in the Academy of Magic, and most importantly, I think Agatha likes to study these things with her teacher, and will not do anything to worry us about anymore. ”

"Really? That's good. Franklin's brow furrowed, and if so, he wasn't going to interrupt Agatha's continued education at St. Quentin, especially with Cecilia, which was a rare opportunity. If he had to bring her back, it wasn't necessarily good, and Franklin didn't want his daughter to inherit this kind of city, he felt that he owed her a debt to her, and that he wanted to see her develop freely and do what she wanted to do and follow the path she wanted to take while ensuring her safety.

When Solomon saw that he no longer insisted, he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was not easy to stuff Agatha into the Magic Research Institute, which could not only allow her to learn useful things, but also sharpen her temperament. Avoiding her trying to occupy her time all day long is the best of both worlds. If caught by Franklin. She will become aimless again, and maybe crying and crying to follow her, in case she doesn't talk about her relationship with her, although there will be no unbearable consequences, but there will always be some trouble.

"Solomon, are those firecrackers you just gave Chris really as powerful as you say?" Franklin changed the subject, talking about the batch of firecrackers that Solomon had brought with him this time.

"The lethality of a single branch is limited, but if your soldiers use it, their combat power will be greatly improved, and even the originally weak city guards can have the possibility of hurting the Rhine. Solomon said.

"How many against one?"

"No, I'm talking about one-on-one. Solomon shook his head.

"You mean one-on-one?" said Franklin, surprised, and sat up straight.

It's no wonder that Franklin was surprised, the strength of the Rhine is a third-order creature, even if Franklin's most elite subordinate guards have to be one-on-one with the Rhine warriors in the same equipment, it is more than one win and loser, among the Terran troops, only the heavy cavalry can defend head-on, and the premise is that the other party does not have full equipment, otherwise there are only those who dispatch ranks, and in the Terran army, those who rank can generally become squad leaders.

It was impossible for Franklin to come up with so many stalwarts of force, so when he needed to defend against orcs in the past, he relied on the terrain, city defense, and concerted efforts to make the orcs feel that the gains outweighed the losses.

But when it comes to winning one-on-one against a Rhine, it must be a non-commissioned officer at the level of a squad leader.

"No, it's not that with this thing, one of your most ordinary soldiers will be able to defeat a strong Rhine or a fierce Walls, but it will hurt them more easily, dealing more damage than with a weapon like a spear. Solomon explained.

"I see what you mean. Franklin quickly understood what Solomon meant, this was an offensive and not a defense, "This is also remarkable, if we had the firearm you mentioned in those years when the relationship with the orc tribe was tense, Chris and I would have had it easier." ”

"For tough orcs, light energy is not enough. Solomon said.

Franklin nodded, the injured orcs are more dangerous, and to deal with the strong clans among the orcs, the weapon in his hand is best to be able to give a fatal blow, otherwise the opponent will suffer heavy losses by counterattacking.

"So this thing needs to be organized into equipment, and then cooperate with queues and drills. Under the concentrated fire attack of a large number of firebolts, except for the legendary powerhouse, no one can withstand the concentrated fire attack head-on all the time. "Solomon said, this was also tested in Fadell, and the two brothers of the Sand Nation Lord Lan Fangso were surrounded by two squadrons of elite dwarven musketeers in a wounded state, and then continued to shoot.

As a result, Lansol was the first to die, and then Lanfonso, although they were both able to resist the fire bullets, but after the fighting spirit was exhausted, their bodies would be broken by the bullets and penetrate the body. They can kill some enemies, but they can't escape the fate of a thousand holes.

If you deal with a mage, it is more difficult, because if the mage has the opportunity to fight back, especially the high-level mages usually have mastered the range of attack magic, one by one, and the fire gun only increases the soldier's damage ability, but it is possible to be overturned in the face of the mage's counterattack.

However, the firecrackers have only begun to become a built-up equipment in Asturias, and they are not skilled enough in drills, and their combat effectiveness has not yet been formed, otherwise this time Edward brought a large number of firecrackers over, although it has no impact on the battle between the top legendary powerhouses, but it can shine in ordinary battles.

Solomon had some firecrackers that he could use, but it was inconvenient for Edward to use them, as they were made up of Black Rock Dwarves.

He had given the firecrackers to the Stonefist Nation to use, and he had trained some dwarven apprentices for them, who could repair and manufacture some firebolt parts for the Stonefist Nation.

As long as the arms business is in Solomon's hands, Solomon is not too worried about Tieye daring to rebel again, not to mention that he only has help for the country of Stone Fist now, and he doesn't want to rule there like a kingdom.

Therefore, the process of defeating the other Black Rock Dwarf tribes in the Land of Stonefist is also a history of firearm experiments, and in the process, the Blackrock Dwarves have born a group of elite gunners who can use firearms, and now they have become one of Solomon's mercenaries.

Footsteps rang out, and Chris walked in, holding two firearms, one long and one short, in his hands.

"Solomon, this is indeed a good thing, although we now have a very good relationship with Rhine and Wolf, but no one will dislike this thing. ”

"No problem, if you want to buy, I can order for you, but you have to wait for the Kingdom Legion to install a legion before you can start supplying you, if you want to master your own production, according to the latest laws of the Kingdom, you need to pay a patent fee to the Dwarven Clan, and then you can be allowed to open an open factory for your own production, and you also have to sign a confidentiality agreement not to spread the word, because the Kingdom's patent law is only valid in the country. Solomon said.

"We'll consider your decision and tell you before you leave. You're here mainly to sell us firearms, and I've heard that you've invented a new thing in St. Quentin called a stock?" laughed Franklin.

Solomon casually explained a few words about stocks, "This thing is not exclusive to me now, and some people have already started to issue stocks like me, but this thing is risky, and people will know about it in the future." As for my visit this time, the fire gun is just by the way. There are two main things, one is to talk to Chris, I hope he will agree to convert the half-base, half-academy established in Free City into a branch of the Academy of Magic, and the second thing is that I want to meet Joseph of Wall and Rockefeller of Rhine, if it is convenient, you can make an appointment for me, I want to meet them in Free City.
