The reason why Li Wei returned to Baicheng with great fanfare was not to show off the 'majesty' of the lord, but to calm people's hearts a little.

The Age of Discovery has only just begun to flourish, but the huge trade volume and wealth gains it brought have already had a real impact on everyone's life.

In contrast, the developed trade sea routes and the gradually accelerating information flow also gradually spread the news of the Lunar Sea War, which caused many merchants who relied on north-south trade to begin to intensify their panic.

And panic is 'contagious'.

Whenever this happens, a strong and powerful city lord occasionally shows up, which has quite a positive effect.

This is like the so-called national pride of a powerful country. Even if you are doing business in other places, even if something goes wrong, you still know that there is a powerful golden-legged father standing behind you. As long as you are reasonable, you will definitely have it.

Resolve the crisis in front of you yourself.

Or when playing a stand-alone game, you may have a sense of peace of mind when you turn on the modification function...

But when he was about to arrive at the council hall of the Seventh City, Levi suddenly had a headache about how to deal with the 'Necromancer' he brought back with him.

Although it has not shown any sense of threat so far, it is an 'evil species' after all, and it is definitely not a good thing to let it participate too much. God knows what trouble will happen in the future.

Levi even had the idea of ​​asking Calvin to come over and interrogate this guy, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

Since the last time they met, Levi noticed something was wrong with Calvin.

Compared with half a century ago, I, the most powerful 'professional manager' in the world, am undoubtedly more mature and experienced, and I am more proficient in handling all aspects.

It’s just that Li Wei found that Calvin no longer seemed too concerned about ‘rights’. Even when Li Wei proposed to let him become the general agent of the entire Hoge Mining, he was politely rejected by him...

He seemed... worried and afraid of something.

Levi even wondered whether, after forty-six years of continuous growth in Cavans' rat-man faith, the other party had already become a legend before him...

Or maybe he is like him, on the edge of the temptation of the majestic abyss of power, suppressing his desires at all times... to avoid losing control and entering madness...

This is the inevitable result of growing strength too quickly and too easily...

cost!

However, out of trust and respect, since the other party didn't take the initiative to mention it during the last meeting, he didn't say anything about it.

Just as Li Wei was deep in thought, Xia En VII, who was being dragged by his tail, was also thinking.

Compared to Corny and Maria, who have little knowledge and are relatively simple-minded, Shane VII Cromwell, who has been the emperor of Calishan for decades, is undoubtedly better able to see through the phenomena and see the essence.

It had to be said that the prosperous city-state in front of her was indeed beyond her expectations.

If Kony and the others saw the beauty and prosperity of the city, then what Xia En VII saw was the vitality, order and... cohesion that was a little difficult for her to understand.

This was a phenomenon that was difficult for her to understand.

Although the people I met along the way looked busy, most of them had relaxed and comfortable faces, and their eyes seemed to contain light.

She has seen this kind of look, that kind of look, which can only be possessed by people who have great faith in the future, their own future path, and who firmly believe that tomorrow will be better.

In her impression, this kind of look was mostly seen in the eyes of children with firm beliefs in some churches, but it was a little different.

The people in the city also felt awe and gratitude towards this silver dragon lord, rather than... pure fear.

If she could just get some people to have such an attitude towards her, she could do it when she was in office, and even become more determined, but she was unable to gain the heartfelt approval of the vast majority of people on such a large scale.

This seems a bit unreasonable to her.

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 the responsibility he needs to bear.

The glory of the Xia En Dynasty back then was based on a large and mature slave management system.

Cromwell has not yet realized that there are any major problems with the slave system and governance policies of their Shane. Even compared to the primitive slave utilization efficiency of other city-states, their Shane's system is actually more advanced.

In the eyes of Shah En VII, the main culprit for the collapse of the Xia En Dynasty was not the slave rebellion, nor Ivicola Sagran, but...

The power of the pashas in each city-state was too great, resulting in a separatist situation among the city-states!

Originally, after Cromwell succeeded to the throne, she was confident enough to reverse the situation, but at that time, Ivicola Sagran appeared and restricted most of her energy and resources, leaving her unable to spare any time.

Deal with those pashas.

In order to expand armaments, the continuous increase in taxes coupled with various natural disasters over the years finally led to the slave rebellion, causing her to completely lose control of the empire.

So after seeing the prosperous Minas Tirith in front of her, 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, Xia En VII is also a self-proclaimed open-minded person. He does not intend to continue to struggle with things that he cannot figure out. Maybe he will figure it out after reading more.

'It seems that this dragon is also a very talented person. When I return to full power in the future, I will conquer him and make him the Silver Dragon Duke of the North...'

But soon Xia En VII's "sweet dream" was interrupted, and he found that he had no chance to continue visiting...

Li Wei, who flew to the meeting hall at the summit of the Seventh City, threw Xia En VII by his tail directly into the hands of the former Baicheng Property General Manager and now the director of the Urban Management Bureau, the Tauren Ren, and ordered:

"Just find a place to stay, feed her some food, and treat her the same as Blaska did back then. I will take her away in three days."

The tauren warrior directly caught the confused Xia En VII with a princess hug. He didn't dare to be rude to the guests at first, but when he heard "the same treatment as Blaska back then", he felt like a mirror, and expressed appreciation.

He glanced at the stiff half-elf in his arms and said honestly:

"Okay, don't worry, boss. I promise to return you a fat and white half-elf in three days."

Only Xia En VII was left with questions in his mind.

How is this treatment... just like when she asked the captain of the guard to take good care of her beloved horse?

But before she could protest, she was carried away by the minotaur like a cat, and was left hanging in the air doubting her life.

Levi said to the shield warrior Sigard on the side:

"Send someone to invite Lord Kelben from the City of Water, as well as Ms. Alustriel from Silvermoon City, and Mr. and Mrs. Willama Landis. Tell me that I, Levi, have something important to discuss tomorrow."

With today's substantial increase in trade volume, it is imperative to free up Northland United Development Bank, which can have a great leverage effect at this stage.

Originally, he was hesitant before this trip to the south, but now that Woking has joined... it has become a completely different situation.

"Follow your will!" Sigard immediately bowed and responded.

"Why don't you let me notify Kelben on your behalf? I just have to go back to the Chamber of Commerce to handle some private matters." It was Xia Lanweilosi who said.

Almost as soon as she returned to the Northland, the magical communications from the little maid Benbasara piled up. Although she hadn't had time to read each one carefully, she estimated that if she didn't go back, Benbasara would probably collapse.

It's not easy to find such a clever and sensible little maid.

"I'm really troubling you these days."

Li Wei was naturally noncommittal about this. When he and the blue dragon were fighting, if the other party hadn't protected the ship, he might have been alone when he came back.

To thank Li Wei, Xia Lanwei Luosi just smiled and shook her head: "No, on the contrary, I should thank you."

For her, this kind of dragon birth experience is a rare experience.

And even though it was just a trip to Amn, it made her understand a lot of things and feel truly relieved.

Although the teacher Letres's choice before her death was to arrange for her to start a new life in the North far away from Amn and away from the Roznar family, the original intention was to let her put down all hatred and manage her dragon life well.

Live a happy and worry-free life.

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 of people who murdered the teacher with their own hands and took away his remaining inheritance and lived a 'happy' life from then on.

, just make her unhappy, why can't she go back for 'revenge'?

Anyway, wouldn’t it be fine as long as ‘don’t kill’ them?

As Levi said, for these guys who value money more than their lives, just taking away the industry they rely on for a living and destroying everything they are proud of is the most useful and most relieving thing.

punishment!

The Northland United Development Bank mentioned by Levi seems to be part of the preparation for this, although it is only incidental.

She is looking forward to this.

'So, work harder to make money! Xia Lanwei Luosi! If you continue to slack off, I'm afraid that Levi's guy will catch up!'

When Xia Lanwei Luosi thought of the scene of a certain silver dragon catching up with her, her cheeks turned slightly red.

So he patted his face, didn't dare to look back at Levi, opened a portal and stepped in.

After watching Xia Lanwei Luosi off, Levi was just waiting for him to think about whether to invite people to come over for a small meeting or simply go back to Gelthorne to have a look, when a cooing sound came from behind him.

He saw Ai Li holding his belly with both hands, looking like he wanted to cry out that he was hungry but didn't dare to make a sound. Levi couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

In order to hide from others these past few days, they had indeed not eaten a serious meal. The food that was enough to fill the stomachs of ordinary people was not enough for him and Alley to even fill the gap between their teeth.

He thought for a while and said to the Jackal Commander:

"Hotz, please just take Alley to have a good meal. When you come back, remember to ask the Department of Finance to keep accounts."

Before Hotz could react, Alley's eyes turned red with hunger. He grabbed Hotz's tail and ran towards the lower city, shouting as he ran:

"Jackal puppy! Let's go!"

"Ouch!" Hotz only had time to let out a wail of pain and joy before disappearing along with Alley.

Alley is now very self-aware. He knows that his father will be worried if he is a demon shopping dad, and he also knows that he takes a "devil herding dog" with him when he goes out.
To be continued...
