Lord of Rot

Chapter 518 Millions of Wealth
High Blood City fell into unprecedented chaos, but after one day, the chaos ended.

Because the "dead" three apostles of Avada appeared in front of everyone with expressionless faces and safe and sound.

As a huge town that ranks among the top ten in the entire desert and even the entire Lurea continent, there are not only slave owners and slaves in High Blood City, but also many caravans and merchants who come to buy slaves.

Alang Zharti, who was wearing a roller hat and covering his face with silk cloth to protect himself from the wind and sand, looked up at the three people sitting at the long table above the hall.

It can't be said that the dead were really resurrected. After all, everyone only saw the three apostles disappear and did not actually see them die. The news about their deaths was all speculation. Instead, after their "deaths", other members of their family came forward and wanted to Seize power, leading to increasing chaos.

Now everything is calm, business is going on as usual, it looks harmonious, and all the outcroppings have shrunk back.

Sava kept a stiff and unnatural smile on his face and said loudly: "We are very sorry for yesterday's confusion. There were just some misunderstandings. Now the misunderstanding between us and Princess Sofia has been resolved."

Indeed, if we just say that dozens of people were accidentally killed yesterday because of the chaos, it is really not a big deal. None of you here regard human life as a good thing. The only thing in everyone's mind is what kind of deal they reached. Quite a few people know very well that Princess Sophia is actually from Dongxia Porcupine.

Alang held his chest and asked in a voice that only the people around him could hear: "What do you think?"

"Let's take a look first. I guess there will be any deals after I win... Is that person yesterday really Li Qi Clarence?"

They only protected themselves in time during the chaos and did not directly participate in the battle. However, after witnessing the scene yesterday in which one man fought tens of thousands of people, no one dared to say so brazenly that he could do anything to me.

The rain of arrows in the sky can be shot away with a slap, and a big jump can be compared with the birds in the sky. How can this be called a human being? It is simply a god.

"Not sure, probably not."

They have heard of Li Qi's name. He is relatively good at fighting. There is no doubt about his identity as a transcendent. But flying to the sky and escaping to the earth, being able to defeat ten thousand people is a bit unreasonable. It is too fake. Even if you see it with your own eyes, you won't believe it, let alone everyone present. In fact, no one knew Li Qi. They only guessed the identity of the strong man through Princess Sophia.

There are even people who are enthusiastic, thinking of the recent "White Dragon in the Capital" incident that has been in the limelight. If it is not Li Qi, but just loyal to Princess Sophia, can he go over and talk about the conditions, as long as he can give more than Sophia? The princess has higher interests and believes that the other party is willing to follow her.

Everyone has their own thoughts, just quietly listening to the chat of the three apostles above.

Sava said: "Starting from today, High Blood City will not sell slaves to outsiders for the time being."

"what!"

"No more selling? What should we do?"

"We have already bought it, can we take it away first?"

"You first remove the soldiers guarding the city gate and let us go!"

"I don't want to buy it, just let us go."

The scene was in chaos.

Li Qi, who was watching the situation here through the ghoul network, shook his head slightly. If it weren't for the large number of people coming to Gaoxue City, all of these people would have died.

He turned his attention away from the "press conference" over there and listened to those who were willing to listen. There were other ways to deal with those who didn't want to listen.

At this time, Li Qi was standing in the huge treasure house on the lower level of the High Blood City bunker.

Glittering gold.

Jinshan!

Even though he had long known that human trafficking was very profitable, and after countless generations of accumulation, the three apostles already had a lot of wealth in their hands, he still couldn't help but feel trembling when he saw it with his own eyes.

"At least a million gold days"

And these are not golden suns, but gold, jewelry, etc. The mountains piled up have to be looked up at.

On the contrary, he didn't care much about the little spells about the arrival of Avada'o's projection in the memory of the three apostles, so he just didn't summon it.

Judging from the memories passed down by word of mouth, Avada'o should be some kind of evil god similar to the Night God, who accidentally came into contact with this material plane and left a seed here, and the little guy with the sparrow, It is the body needed for projection, and there are actually countless bodies like his, as long as they have blood.

When they were young, they were mascots. When they grew up, their only role, regardless of gender, was to produce, non-stop.

Therefore, for the ignorant little guy, Li Qi just chose to take special care of him in case of emergency, but did not take action. First of all, the ignorant child is innocent, and secondly, he cannot kill him cleanly, and no one can. It is known how many slaves brought the bloodline of Avada'o's seeds out, and how many generations have been passed down in this unknown number of years. Their bloodline may have spread throughout the entire continent.

Li Qi took out the snakeskin bag, shook it, and then opened the bag.

The mage's hand moves.

Put a lot of money in it.

Soon a snakeskin bag was filled.

"Pa" the black dragon Duo appeared next to Li Qi. Li Qi put the bag in front of the black dragon's mouth, let it bite, and said: "Send it back to the crypt, pour the things out, and then come back."

Black Dragon Duo nodded slightly, and his figure disappeared without a trace with a slight "pop".

Appear again after a while.

In this way, after going back and forth several times, Jinshan was installed.

"There are two more."

How could the three apostles just pretend to be one family? However, with this windfall, Li Qi dared to say that he was not afraid of the hundreds of thousands of people developing wantonly within ten years.

Of course, it would be better if the money is spent faster, which means better development.

How to spend money on development and construction is also a technical problem. The worry is a problem for the future. Leave it to yourself who will worry about the money in the future. Now Li Qi only thinks about Jinshan.

Except for the gold, he didn't even look at the silver products, silver moons, and bronze stars, etc. He just left them for Gaoxue City for the time being, there was no need to take them away.

……

"This is a family fortune worth tens of millions?"

When Li Qi got the letter from Lin Yu, he was still in a daze. He only got 400 million gold days in assets in Gaoxue City, which was not an insignificant sum. After plundering Oasis City, Li Qi was even more shocked. He was immediately five 600 million assets made him numb from head to toe.

He still remembers that a logbook he obtained said that the Duke of Dongxia's ship was transporting millions of assets. At that time, he didn't even have a gold sun in his hand.

The year before last, I had been working vigorously for a year, and it looked like I was making a lot of money. However, I destroyed a lot of crypts and made a lot of money. At the end of the year, I made 50 gold days.

Last year's accounts finally looked better.

But compared to this year, that really pales in comparison.

A classic ringtone suddenly echoed in Li Qi's mind: I'm making money, I'm making money, and I don't even know how to spend it...

The highest palace in Gaoxue City has changed hands.

Li Qi was wearing a silk robe and sitting cross-legged in front of a low table.

Next to him, a big box that shook its head was blowing cool breeze out.

This is a very simple technique for using magic combinations.

Through ice enchantment, a large amount of ice is quickly created. With Li Qi's current mental strength, a small river can be frozen.

The crushed ice cubes are put into the box, and then a three-blade fan is used to rotate and blow on the ice cubes to create cold air to cool down.

The only difficulty is not how the fan shakes its head, but that it does not have any technological content. How can a purely magical thing ensure that the fan can always rotate and provide kinetic energy? It is still a difficult problem for Li Qi to solve. After all, science and magic are completely different. The two development routes may lead to the same goal, but in the initial stage, each other really finds the other magical, and it is difficult for each other to learn from each other.You can enter the technological world of stars and seas, but you can't teleport, and distance is still a limitation.

In the magical world where a person can fly to the sky and escape from the earth alone, he cannot change his heart or lungs, and medical treatment is still at the stage of prayer and bloodletting.

Li Qi wanted to feel comfortable and cool, but he didn't want to be distracted by using magic to control it.

Fully automatic is the enjoyment.

In terms of enjoyment, Lord Li Qi must remain at the forefront of the world. No one can surpass him. If you don't enjoy being a lord and making money, what's the point?

The solution is not difficult at all. Every once in a while, he throws a wind-control magic to make the fan blades rotate. This requires a lot of mental power consumption, but compared with the mental power consumed, the recovery speed of his mental power is faster. This is This is also one of the advantages of the palace level. The evolution of the life level is not just as simple as the blue bar getting longer, but the recovery speed of mana is also greatly accelerated.

If he wasn't familiar with the magic circle, it wouldn't be that difficult to directly draw the magic circle on the fan and let it rotate automatically.

The cooling effect of the cool breeze is no worse than that of central air conditioning. The main reason is that the palace is well insulated. Even if there is no cool breeze, the temperature will not be too high. Moreover, with Li Qi's strength, he is not afraid of the cold or heat, so he can You may not be able to sweat much even by the fire in the summer.

But just now I was sweating a lot.

An arm reached over, gently hugged Li Qi's neck from behind, and rubbed his cheek like a kitten.

It has to be said that even at the palace level, there is still a clear gap in the heavier competition between Niu and Tian.

The oxen in the palace cannot plow the fresh fields.

Regardless of how fiercely Desert Pearl begged for mercy just now and whether her voice was hoarse or not, when Lord Li Qi finished trembling, it was true that his legs and feet were weak. Looking at Desert Pearl who was sweating profusely, he was satisfied and could not watch. He didn't show any signs of fatigue, but his complexion became extremely good.

Take a sip of water to stay hydrated.

Li Qi focused his eyes on the map of Gaoxue City. There was really no need to stay in this corner.

In his plan, the desert was obviously not a place suitable for development and survival, so these 50 people had to be taken away.

"First divide it into batches and slowly transport all the slaves back to the East Gorge using the Oasis City's ships." Li Qi thought: "It is a waste to have so many manpower left in the desert. Porcupine Collar and Iron Valley can easily accommodate so many people. , but with the population of Monkey Island, the arrangement and adaptation period of the porcupine collar is not over yet, so we have to do it slowly."

It is natural to be able to feed such a large population, but being able to feed does not mean that trouble will not occur.

"Send it to the water stream."

With the resources of Shuijian Land, it would be easy to support hundreds of thousands of people.

And now the place is completely under Li Qi's control. The garrison has been replaced by the latest batch of trained soldiers. The stewards and noble knights are also Li Qi's own people. Not to mention that Mrs. Jie Lin has no second thoughts, even if If you really have any ideas, they can only be nonsense.

"Where is Oasis City?" Desert Pearl hugged Li Qi and gently held him in her arms, her neck just stuck in a comfortable and soft position.

Li Qi closed his eyes, turned his head and felt it, and said: "The population of Oasis City is not large, and the businessmen are not very obedient. I don't intend to take that broken city."

Without the "soup" in the cauldron of abundance, the oasis has begun to decay. In a few months, it will turn into a piece of yellow sand again, and the Utopia will become a joke. It is hard to say whether it can retain people.

Although he could use "soup" to nourish the desert and ensure abundance, Li Qi had no intention of throwing living people into the pot as coal to provide nutrition.

There is a lot of open space in the Lulea continent. With only a few hundred thousand people, any territory can fit into it.

"The money has been obtained, and those who are willing to join the caravan have also joined. Those who are unwilling to join have not made it difficult for them. Our caravan is growing, and there are also those extraordinary people who are willing to join." Li Qi paused, and he asked what he wanted It’s not that the extraordinary being holding his thigh is against it, it’s just that he doesn’t value it that much. If my wing cavalry team charges, you will be smashed by extraordinary beings. Let’s talk about it first when we get to the palace.

It can be said that everything is moving in a better direction.

The total population is rushing towards 60. Compared with the wealth of tens of millions of gold days, the wealth of the population is the greatest gain.

"Shui Jian Land is a good place, but not good enough... The Royal City is better."

"Huh?" Desert Pearl was confused. She didn't understand what Li Qi meant. She just raised her hand to gently massage his head to relieve the pressure.

The concentration of population in large towns is an inevitable trend of the times, and Li Qi also intends to promote it in this way. It will make management more unified and easier, and the provision of educational resources will be easier, and the social circle will be expanded larger. Generally speaking, it will facilitate development, and he Now there is not so much energy to develop places that are not very wealthy.

Not that necessary.

For example, Iron Valley is neither suitable for industrial development nor agricultural cultivation, except for the extraction of kerosene.

The Porcupine Territory occupies a small advantage in the wharf and can develop handicraft industry.

There is really nothing to develop in the desert area. There are a few salt mines that can provide a lot of money, and there are special crops such as spices, but in general they are not suitable for cultivation, and there is no need to leave too many people.

"Let's do it step by step, and move wherever there is a shortage of people."

"Hmm!" she nodded.

……

The dull slaves had no idea what was happening.

The slave owner Bangbang, whose teeth were black due to years of smoking his wife's orchid, swung the stick in his hand and shouted to the slaves who were staggering behind him: "You are lucky, you can go to a good place by boat this time!"

Looking at the slave who was dawdling in front of him, he subconsciously wanted to throw the stick in his hand away.

The opponent doesn't walk too slowly, but his two-legged walking posture is a bit sloppy. He doesn't like it. He's a slave. If he doesn't like it, just beat him. As long as he can't be beaten to death.

But he suddenly seemed to have thought of something and forced himself to hold back.

The companion walking beside him gently nudged him with his elbow: "Tell me, what is going on?"

"What's the matter?"

"That man who could fly some time ago killed a lot of people. Both adults were picked up by the neck and carried away."

"Mind your own business, don't you want your head anymore?" Bang Bang glared at his companions, looked around, and found that the slave soldiers were not looking at him, then lowered his voice and whispered: "Do your job well, and don't wear these out. The gentlemen will be sent to Dongxia and they can come back after collecting the money."

"I think it's weird." The companion also lowered his voice: "We have sent slaves so many times, but I have never heard that slaves cannot be allowed to die or be injured. If something happens to one of them, you have to take your own life."

Bang Bang said: "The money given is quite a lot. If one person draws 2 silver months, we can earn at least 10 gold days for this trip."

Thinking of money, the two collided and laughed.

If you give me enough money, it doesn't matter what you ask me to do, I can do whatever I want.

Li Qi, who was standing on the highest floor of the palace, looked at the long procession of ants moving through the gate below. The "tails" of the ant procession were still in the high-blooded city, but the "heads" had already plunged into the desert, and their figures slowly became Vague.

This is already the tenth group of slaves to leave in the past month. They go to the port of Oasis City, and then take a boat to the East Gorge. After simple training and education from Monkey Island, they will be disrupted and reorganized through the simplest talent screening. and other methods to transport it to various territories.

Some may enter a porcupine collar factory and become a screw on the assembly line. Although the work is a bit harder, they earn a lot and have good living conditions.

Some of them may be tired from the infrastructure work in Iron Valley, but these people are basically the senior technical talents in the construction industry in the future, and you can't avoid them for anything.

Others will go to the water stream land, which is the largest group of people. Farming and fishing to fill their stomachs is definitely better than being a slave.

Finally, some returned to the desert, but no longer were slaves.

As for detailed workers, scholars, or soldiers, the future is even more confusing. No one can imagine what will happen in the future, but at least it will be better than what we have now.
