Lord of Plenty

The luxurious carriage with the blue Holy Dragon emblem is driving on the official road of the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

Between the major cities in the Holy Dragon Kingdom, there are smooth official roads built with state funding to facilitate travel.

It is said to be an official road, but it is easier and flatter than the rugged mountain paths.

Even the gravel road is only in a small section close to the city, and the remaining part is still just a dirt road.

There is no way to compare it with the stone roads in the city, or the roads that have been consolidated and fixed using magic.

But even this path can be regarded as a remarkable progress and a manifestation of the progress of civilization.

At least in the northern countries, there is no similar country at all.

But don’t underestimate this. The smoothness and number of roads are the best way to show the overall strength of a country.

You must know that building roads between cities is a very huge additional expense.

The even greater expense is the wasted gold coins needed to maintain these roads.

If it is a country with weak national strength, it will not even be able to pay for the initial paving of the road.

The subsequent maintenance of the road is also inseparable from the support of city lords, lords and nobles from various places.

and exploitation.

Anyway, no matter what kind of national policy, in the hands of the noble lords below, it is a good and profitable business.

If you are not making money from common people, you are making money from the country.

Nobles, wherever they are expensive, that’s where they are.

So you can even tell from the smoothness of the road or the number of renovations per year that the power of the country's rulers and the deterrent power they have in front of nobles everywhere.

A strong country must be centralized.

And the more concentrated the power, the greater the probability that the country will become stronger.

Because under the aristocratic system, the power of the king is actually divided among the nobles.

The strength of the king means the weakness of the nobles and the concentration of power.

Therefore, roads, which can be seen everywhere and are closely related to the power of the country, can best intuitively reflect whether a country is strong or not.

Kun had previously wanted to build a road in the Fertile Territory leading directly to Krag City to facilitate the entry and exit of merchants.

Before leaving the Plenty Territory, Kun left the matter entirely to Vittorio to handle.

But now it seems that Vittorio is more likely to choose to lay this road directly to Lobos City, which is farther away than the city of Krag, which is closest to the Plenty Territory.

After all, Earl Lasse of Lobos City was the first to offer an olive branch to the Harvest Territory, and also provided sufficient preferential policies.

As for doing this, the road paved will undoubtedly be much longer, so there is no need to worry at all.

It is very simple to leave it to the players to pave the way.

After all, they are all professionals, their work efficiency is incredible, and their wages are relatively small.

Or simply make paving roads a daily task and give it a dozen or so fertility points, and players will be satisfied.

(OS: Do you always feel like you are throwing a few melon seeds to a hamster every day?)

Don't ask, asking is the classic routine of game manufacturers.

Players have long been immune to the (toxic) poisons and (wood) invading the (benevolent) people.

The carriage rattled along the official road, and from day to night, there were several magic stone lamps on the carriage.

Suddenly the carriage was forced to stop, and there was a noise outside. Kun, who had closed his eyes in the carriage and was concentrating, opened his eyes in time.

[Ding~, you have triggered the 2-star difficulty mission "Cleaning Up Bandits"!

You will always encounter many hateful thieves and traitors on the road of life. Don’t be afraid and give them the belated justice.

Look, the iron fist of justice fell as promised, with just the right force.

Reward: 0~1500 experience. 】

It turned out to be some robbers lurking around the official road, and they thought it was the guy delivering the box who showed up.

Quin suddenly lost interest.

The existence of bandits is not a specialty of certain regions. Instead, it exists widely throughout the world.

There are many types of robbers, and those outside are the least technical ones.

If it's a 2-star difficulty, there are professionals mixed in with the bandits, but they won't be very strong.

There is a high probability that they are only at the level of low-level professionals. It is said that there can be two or three people at most.

As for why the rewards for this mission range so widely, from zero experience points to one thousand five hundred experience points?

Because players can completely turn a blind eye and drive away these bandits, and the reward will naturally be zero.

Or the player cried bitterly due to the robbers, knelt down and begged for mercy, felt pity, and let the robbers go, the reward was also zero.

But if the player chooses to clear out all the bandits, he will get the highest level of rewards.

There are no fixed options. It is an open world game. Everything depends on the player's own thoughts and choices.

But in fact, the reward mechanism for this type of mission encourages players to kill all the bandits.

Kun didn't believe in the idea of ​​putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot, which was just like gods fooling the public.

Unless this knife cuts on me, I will never know how painful it is, and I will naturally speak lightly.

To persuade people to be kind, it is only effective to persuade people who are kind-hearted.

To persuade those who have done all bad things to do good things is just stupidity and a useless effort.

Only when the punishment really falls on them will they truly realize that they have done something wrong.

Of course, it is the judge's responsibility to identify crimes.

As for these scum who raise their butcher's knives to innocent people, the apostle of abundance only needs to clean them up when they encounter them, and there is no need to worry about anything else.

If you are guilty of killing these people, you can blame it on Fenghao.

He bore this sin.

As soon as he saw the mission coming, Mala Tutou, who had been dozing off at leisure, suddenly became energetic.

"Are there any soldiers? Leave me alone."

"Two low-level professionals and eight fellow robbers, can you do it yourself?"

"What do you mean I can do it?

Master, I won’t allow you to belittle yourself like this! "

Um?

What has he demeaned about himself?

Kun was a little confused.

The spicy rabbit head had a serious expression and said righteously:

“When I’m away from home, my spicy rabbit head is your face, Li Hotpot.

Spanking me would be like slapping you in the face.

Looking down on me is equivalent to seeing yourself clearly, Master.

Just a few robbers, look at my apprentice, I can catch them, ah ah ah, little thief, hurry up and catch me without a fight! "

Singing the tune, Spicy Rabbit Head jumped out of the carriage.

Kun:……

What does spanking you mean mean spanking my face?

Kun was deeply suspicious of Spicy Tutou's unwarranted confidence.

Outside the carriage was the driver's begging for mercy, five or six torches shining brightly in the night, and darkness beyond.

In the Holy Dragon Kingdom, only those madmen who are the most unafraid of death who have their heads tied to their waists would do this to rob carriages with the Holy Dragon emblem.

In fact, most robbers still have some professional qualities.

Yes, robbers also have robber rules.

What kind of people can rob and what kind of people cannot rob are all matters of opinion.

There are even some robbers who are simply sent by the surrounding little nobles to pretend to be thieves.

It is justifiable to collect tolls.

But the group they encountered obviously did not fall into this category.

They robbed people who shouldn't have been robbed, or these people were so stupid that they couldn't even recognize the badge of the Holy Dragon Kingdom on the land of the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

Or, just not afraid at all.

Kun estimated that these were most likely rogue bandits.

There is no fixed camp or plundering territory. They change places every time they rob, and they are not afraid of being traced by others. They are also the most ruthless type of robbers.

"He is a professional of the orcs."

"This is top quality stuff, don't let her escape!"

There was a lot of noise outside the carriage. It was obvious that because of the appearance of Spicy Rabbit Head, the target of this group of gangsters had changed from seeking money to seeking people.

Of course, there is actually no essential difference.

In the human world, beautiful or cute orcs or even elves can be sold for a sky-high price.

You can earn much more than just robbing.

If you happen to be a professional, it will be even more valuable.

"Burst fireball."

The cold light of the sword intertwined with the blazing firelight, and with a scream, a burning smell filled the surrounding air.

Spicy Rabbit Tou's fire magic took over the city first and turned an unlucky bandit into a blazing torch.

The two professionals among the robbers looked at each other, with obvious fear on their faces.

Instantly casting low-level magic is something that only a strong master at the archmage level can do.

Could it be that the little orc in front of me is already a high-level professional?

This was not an iron plate, but a fine gold plate. He was looking for death.

However, the spicy rabbit head's next move made the two professionals confused again.

"God-blood slime, the decision is yours. Use impact!"

I saw a big white cloud swishing towards everyone, and then flew past with a whooshing sound.

Apart from wetting everyone's clothes and extinguishing the torches, no harm was done.

"It's not this, it's the impact of the cliff goat, not the impact of the clouds."

Spicy Rabbit Head danced, hoping that the divine blood slime would understand what she meant.

But how can you expect a slime to understand any complex instructions? The description is so unclear, it doesn't even have a brain.

A thief saw the right opportunity to hide himself in the night, and quietly touched the back of Spicy Rabbit Tou.

Lan Youyou, the dagger that was obviously quenched with some poison, pressed towards Mala Tutou's neck.

But before the dagger could get close to his neck, a magic barrier activated itself with a buzzing sound.

It's the magic bracelet given by the blue dragon Willibar, with defensive magic engraved on it.

The few skills he had were all on CD, and the pets were not very useful. The spicy rabbit head could only run around in the hands of a few bandits.

You must know that these enemies are not game AIs with simple intelligence and NPCs that will be refreshed after death.

The game in the eyes of the players, in their eyes, is a life-and-death battle that must not be lost.

They are dead, but really dead.

So they will set traps, they will unite, they will go all out, and if they fail, they will cry bitterly and desperately beg for mercy.

This also makes the tasks related to intelligent creatures in the game "Lord of Plenty" very difficult to complete.

Humanoid creatures are often much more difficult to deal with than more powerful monsters and demons.

Fortunately, the defensive magic that comes with the equipment in Mala Tutou's hand is extremely strong, and the two low-level professionals can't attack it at all.

But Kun didn't look at it.

A high-ranking priest was chased by a few little frog thieves until he had no way to go to the sky and no way to the earth.

You have to use legendary level magic equipment to save your life.

Are you okay?
