Chapter 402: Siege Luskan to Save Moon Shadow Island?
The reason why Levi returned to Baicheng with great fanfare was not to show the lord's 'majesty', but to have a slight soothing effect.
The Age of Discovery, which was just beginning to flourish, brought about huge trade volumes and wealth gains that had already had a real impact on everyone's lives.
On the other hand, the well-developed trade routes and the gradual acceleration of the flow of information also gradually spread the news of the Moon Sea War, which caused many merchants who relied on the North-South trade to begin to panic.
Panic, on the other hand, is contagious.
Whenever such a time comes, a powerful city lord occasionally shows up, which is quite positive.
This is like the so-called national pride of a strong country, even if you are doing business in other places, even if something happens, you know that there is a powerful golden thigh father standing behind you, as long as you take advantage of it, you must have it to resolve the immediate crisis for yourself.
Or when playing a stand-alone game, I opened a modification and hung the same 'sense of security'...
However, when he was about to arrive at the council chamber of the seventh city, Levi suddenly had a headache about what to do with the 'necromancer' he brought back with him.
Although it has not shown any sense of threat at the moment, it is an 'evil species' after all, and it is certainly not a good thing to involve it too much, and God knows what kind of moth will emerge in the future.
Levi even had the idea of having Calvin come and interrogate the guy, but after thinking about it, he forgot about it.
Ever since the last time they met, Levi had sensed that something was wrong with Calvin.
Compared with half a century ago, I, the strongest 'professional manager', is undoubtedly more mature and sophisticated, and I am more familiar with all aspects of handling.
It's just that Levi found that Calvin doesn't seem to be too concerned about 'rights', and even when Levi proposed to make him the general agent of the entire Hogg Mines, he was rejected by his euphemistic shirk...
He seems... I'm worried about what I'm afraid of.
Levi even wondered if the other party had already achieved a legend before him after the impact of the Cavins Rat Faith that had continued to grow for forty-six years...
Or like him, on the edge of the temptation of the majestic power of the abyss, suppressing his desires all the time... lest you get out of control and go crazy...
This is what it takes to grow too fast and too easily...
Price!
However, out of trust and respect, the last time we met, since the other party did not take the initiative to mention it, he did not open his mouth in this regard.
Just as Levi was deep in thought, Shane VII, who was being dragged by his tail, was also thinking.
Compared with Connie and Maria, who have little insight and simple-mindedness, Chahn VII Cromwell, who has been Emperor Karinshan for decades, is undoubtedly more able to see the essence through phenomena.
I have to say that the thriving city-state in front of her is indeed a little beyond her expectations.
If Connie and the others saw the beauty and prosperity of the city, then Sean VII saw the vibrancy, the order, and the incomprehensibility of her... Cohesion.
It's a phenomenon that's hard for her to understand.
The people I saw along the way, although they seemed to be busy, their faces were mostly relaxed and comfortable, and their eyes seemed to contain light.
She has seen this kind of look, that kind of look, only people who have great faith in the future, their future path, and firmly believe that tomorrow will be better.
She was under the impression that most of these eyes were only seen in the eyes of the faithful children in some churches, but there were some differences.
And the people in the city are also in awe and gratitude to this silver dragon lord from the bottom of their hearts, not... Pure fear.
If it is only to let some people have such an attitude towards herself, she can do it when she is in power, and even more desperately, but she can't gain the recognition of the vast majority of people from the bottom of her heart like this.
This seemed to her to be somewhat unreasonable.
Because the rise of a city-state or even an empire is bound to be built on the blood, tears and sweat of a group of people.
If you want to gain something, you must first lose something.
This is the trade-off of being a king, and it is also the responsibility that needs to be assumed.
The glory of the Shane dynasty was built on a large and mature slave management system.
Cromwell still didn't realize that there was anything wrong with their Shane's slave system and policy, and even compared to the primitive slave utilization efficiency of other city-states, their Shane's system was more advanced.
And the reason for the collapse of the Shane dynasty, in the eyes of Shane VII, is not in the slave rebellion, nor in Ivy Korazagran, but...
The power of the various city-states Pasha is too large, resulting in the separation of the city-states!
Originally, after Cromwell succeeded to the throne, he was confident enough to reverse the situation, but at that time, Ivy Korasagran came out, restraining most of her energy and resources, causing her to have no time to deal with those Pashas.
In order to expand the armament, the continuous increase in taxes and various natural disasters in successive years finally led to the Great Slave Rebellion, which made her completely lose control of the empire.
So after seeing the thriving Minas Stirris, she inevitably compared the two to summarize the reasons for her failure.
At the same time, I am also curious about how the silver dragon in front of me takes care of all aspects.
However, Sean VII is also a self-proclaimed open-minded person, and he doesn't plan to continue to entangle himself with things that he can't figure out.
"It seems that this dragon is also the head of the treasure, and in the future, when I regain my full prosperity, I will take him in and canonize him as the Duke of the Silver Dragon of the Northland..."
It was only that Chaun VII's 'sweet dream' was soon interrupted, and he found himself without a chance to continue visiting...
Levi, who flew to the summit chamber of the seventh city, threw the Xia En VII with his tail directly into the hands of the former general manager of Baicheng Property and the current director of the urban management bureau, the bull-headed man Ren, and ordered:
"Just find a place to settle down, feed some food, just treat her the same as the braska back then, and I'll take her away in three days." ”
The minotaur warrior directly caught the stunned Shane VII with a princess hug, and originally did not dare to be rude to the guests, but when he heard the 'same treatment as Blasca back then', his heart was like a mirror, and he glanced at the stiff half-elf in his arms with an appreciative gaze, and said honestly:
"Okay, don't worry, boss, I promise to return you a white and fat half-elf in three days. ”
Only Sean VII was left with question marks in his head.
This treatment... How did she tell the chief of the guard to take care of her beloved horse?
But before she could protest, she was carried away by the minotaur like a cat, dangling in the air and doubting her life.
Levi said to the shield warrior Sgard on the side:
"Send someone to invite the Kelben lord of Drawing Water City, as well as Lady Erastro and Veramarandes and his wife from Silvermoon City, and say that I, Levi, have something important to discuss tomorrow. ”
With the current volume of trade increasing dramatically, it is imperative to free up the Northland United Development Bank, which can be very leveraged at this stage.
Originally, he was a little hesitant before this trip south, but now that Woke has joined... It's a completely different situation.
"Do your bidding!" Sgard replied immediately.
"It's better to... On Kyleburn's side, I'll inform you on my behalf, and I just happen to be going back to the Chamber of Commerce to deal with some personal matters. But it was Charanvilos who spoke.
Almost as soon as she returned to the Northland, the magical communications from the little maid Bemba Sala were piled up, although she hadn't had time to read them carefully, but she estimated that if she didn't go back, Bemba Sala would probably collapse, and it would not be easy to find such a smart and sensible little maid again.
"It's really bothering you these days. ”
Li Wei was naturally noncommittal about this, when he was fighting with the blue dragon, if it wasn't for the other party escorting the boat, maybe he would have come back alone at this time.
To Levi's thanks, Xia Lanwei Luosi just chuckled and shook her head: "No, it's that I should thank you." ”
For her, such a dragon life experience is a rare experience.
And although it was only a trip to Am, it made her think about a lot of things and get real relief.
Although the choice of the teacher Letress before her death was to arrange for her to start a new life in the Northlands, far away from Amm and away from the Roznar family, the original intention was to let her let go of all hatred, manage her dragon life well, and live a happy and carefree life from now on.
But since this memory, this hatred has been entangled in her heart like a vine, whenever she thinks of the teacher's death, when she thinks of the group who murdered the teacher with their own hands and took the rest of his inheritance to live a 'happy' life from now on, why can't she 'revenge' back?
Anyway, as long as you don't kill them, wouldn't it?
As Levi said, for these guys who value money more than their lives, as long as they take away the property they rely on for their livelihood, and destroy everything they are proud of, it is the most useful and relieving punishment!
The Northland United Development Bank that Levi is talking about seems to be part of the preparation, albeit in passing.
She is looking forward to it.
"So, work harder to make money!"
Xia Lanwei Luosi thought of the picture of a certain silver dragon catching up with her, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
So he patted his face, and didn't dare to look back at Levi, so he directly opened a portal and stepped in.
After seeing Xia Lanwei Luosi, Levi was thinking about whether to invite someone to come over for a small meeting, or simply go back to Gelthorn to have a look, when a cooing sound came from behind him.
Seeing Alley holding his little belly in both hands, looking like he wanted to shout hungry but didn't dare to squeak, Levi couldn't help but laugh and felt a little guilty.
In the past few days, in order to hide people's eyes, they really haven't eaten a serious meal, and the food that is enough for ordinary people to break their stomachs is not enough for him and Alley to even stuff their teeth.
He thought for a moment, and said to the Jackal Commander:
"Holtz, just take Alley to have a good meal, and remember to keep accounts with the Finance Department when you come back. ”
Before Holtz could react, Alley's eyes turned out to be a hungry red light, and he grabbed Holtz's tail and ran towards the lower city, shouting as he ran:
"Jackal puppy! Let's go!"
"Woo!" Holtz had time to let out a painful and happy wail before he disappeared with Alley.
Alley is now very self-aware, knowing that he will not be at ease if he is a demon shopping father, and he also knows that he will go out with a 'demon dog'.
Everywhere you go, the road is full of smoke.
However, in the face of a 'descending demon king' like Alley, the merchants of Minas Stiris have also changed from fear and panic at the beginning to their anticipation and enthusiasm now, which can be described as dramatic.
Because all the shops that have been baptized by her will be compensated by the market price afterwards.
Some may hoard at least half a month's worth of consumption, which may be directly converted into cash flow.
How can such a big customer be unpopular?
Alley's existence has become a legend in Minas Stirris:
Some people say that she is the deepest dragon knight hidden under the Silver Dragon Lord, and she must have a lot of strength after eating so much!
Don't you see Holtz, the powerful leader of the Gnolls, being dragged like a dog in the back every time...
Some people say that she is actually a dragon, too! She may even be the true daughter of the Silver Dragon Lord! Only a dragon can have such an astonishing appetite.
However, there are also rumors that she has a demonic aura on her body, so she must be the demon tamed by the Silver Dragon Lord when he conquered the lower plane or even the bottomless abyss!
It's just that whenever someone throws this point of view, it's always easy to get beaten by the crowd...
The reasons are:
His Highness Alley's voice is so good!
How could it be a demon!
I think you're the devil who deceives people's minds and tells the truth!
Call me!
...
After arranging everything in front of him, Levi finally chose to travel from the Northern Tunnel to the Zelandia Institute of Magic in the Dark Regions.
It was just that he had just changed his form, and as soon as he stepped into the research institute, a violent vibration sound came from the entire underground space.
Like something blew up...
However, Levi had long been accustomed to this, in fact, long before he fell asleep for the last time, there was a plan to move the entire Zeellandia Institute of Magic to Minas Stirris, but this relocation plan had to be terminated only a little way through the beginning.
The reason is simple, the path of magic research is always prone to be accompanied by the explosion of various 'arts'.
And the white city on the surface is currently a city dominated by commercial trade, and such an explosion at the two ends in three days will affect business.
So in the end, I discussed it with Iger, yes, I still don't want to move, the underground is very good, and if there is not enough space, I can expand it a little, as long as I don't go to the 'fraudster'.
"What just blew up?" asked Levi, knocking on the door, toward Ig.
Eagle seemed to have long been accustomed to this, and said very calmly:
"The No. 4 deep diving plan laboratory should have simulated some air tightness problems in the diving deep pressure. ”
Li Wei smashed his mouth and said: "Let's suspend the research and development of submarines, it should be too late in terms of progress, but the Intrepid ironclad can start mass production." ”
Luskan has already acted in advance, and when the iron shell is produced, it is estimated that the daylily will be cold, and there are constraints anyway.
"That's what we're doing at the moment. ”
Suddenly as if an important message sounded, Eagle said:
"Tiberius, we have just received the news today that the Iron Fortress has been captured by Luskan, and that the Candic dynasty has formed a government in exile and sent a 'letter of help' to the coastal city-states. ”
He paused, and continued, "The Lord of Kel's side has made a suggestion to unite the forces of Zelandia, Drawing Water City, and Silvermoon City to form a continental alliance and march north to force Luskan to solve the crisis on Moonshadow Island. ”
