The residents of Kumu Town and Yeliu Town were the first to dispel their worries. Although Ding Kui's leaflet was not printed out so quickly, the newly appointed mayor conveyed the lord's policy.
Growing grain can guarantee that the purchase will be more attractive than the two-year tax exemption. The two mayors, Xing Hui and Guo Qing, also guaranteed that the purchase price will be the same as the market price.
The Welfare Institute has launched a new assistance measure. New immigrants who plan to settle in Kumu Town and Yeliu Town can receive a one-year interest-free loan from the Welfare Institute to purchase living materials and farming materials.
Charge very low interest rates.
As soon as this measure came out, the homeless people in the city went crazy, queuing up in long queues at the welfare homes and fighting for loans to go to Kumu Town and Yeliu Town.
There is internal news from the newly formed tax bureau that the lord will not increase taxes in this city in the future, and will basically keep the tax rates at the same level as those in surrounding cities.
As more and more news emerged, the dark clouds hanging over the people of Juyang City finally dissipated, and everyone was preparing to welcome the New Year with a happier mood.
There is a volcano group at the junction of Zhongwangzhou and Linhaizhou. There are several active volcanoes there that erupt from time to time. No one wants to live around them.
This volcano group is called the Nine Lanterns Mountains because nine volcanoes once erupted at the same time at night, just like nine lanterns lighting up the night sky.
The Nine Lanterns Mountain Range is a holy land for practicing fire-based exercises, but royal knights and fire-based magicians are rarely seen because it is controlled by an extremely powerful organization.
Zhixin Palace was originally an organization of fire magicians. The founder, Zhixinshen, built a magic tower in the Jiuzhandeng Mountains, and it has been passed down to this day.
Later, because the area near the Nine Lanterns Mountain Range was too desolate and sparsely populated, it was extremely inconvenient for magicians to live in the magic tower. Zhixin Palace began to absorb fire knights and some high-level warriors as peripheral members to serve the magicians.
The Zhixin Palace, backed by the Dharma God, is similar to the Ice and Snow Palace in the Shaodian Kingdom. The royal family is not willing to provoke them easily and acquiesces to their control of the Nine Lanterns Mountain Range.
Even if the peripheral personnel of Zhixin Palace were operating in Shaodian, the officials would turn a blind eye. The people Ding Kui and Ao Yu met in Huolu Mountain were the peripheral personnel of Zhixin Palace.
There is a magic tower in the middle of the Nine Lanterns Mountains, built in a valley, surrounded by three volcanoes, with black smoke lingering on the top of the mountain all year round. Reddish-brown thorns grow on the surface of the mountain, and messy weeds are scattered around the thorns.
No plants taller than a human can be seen.
The Magic Tower is completely black, with its base built on an uneven gray rock surface. There is a dark red crystal on the top of the tower. If you look closely, you can see that the crystal is absorbing the surrounding fire.
The height from the top of the tower to the ground is about 150 meters, which is comparable to skyscrapers on Earth, but it is still short compared to the surrounding volcanoes.
If you come here and happen to encounter a volcanic eruption, you can see that the Magic Tower will raise a huge protective cover to prevent the volcanic eruptions from harming the Magic Tower and the people inside.
There is no doubt that this magic tower is the headquarters of Zhixin Palace.
Those who can enter and leave this valley must be at least level 4 combatants. However, during the volcanic eruption, those with level 6 or below dare not run around. If you are not careful, you will be killed in the sea of fire.
With less than half a month left before 4878, a figure was quickly approaching the valley where the Zhixin Palace headquarters was located.
"Stop comers!" A person jumped out in front of the valley. Judging from his clothing, he was a peripheral employee of Zhixin Palace. "You are not from Zhixin Palace, what are you doing here?"
The visitor stopped and saw an old man who thought he was missing an ear.
"I'm here to deliver a message to Palace Master Zhixin on behalf of my ancestor," said the old man with missing ears.
"Do you think anyone can see our palace master?" the Zhixin Palace guard shouted.
"Hmph!" The old man with missing ears swayed and dodged behind the Zhixin Palace guard at a very fast speed. "Whether I can see you or not is not up to you. My ancestor is an epic knight!"
The guard of Zhixin Palace was shocked. He was a fearless knight. Judging from the movements of the missing-eared old man just now, his combat power was one level higher than his. He was clearly a great archer.
The Grand Archer is quite acceptable. The Nine Lanterns Mountain Range is not easily accessible, but the Epic Knight's messenger is a bit bluffing. You must know that the current Lord of the Burning Heart Palace is a regular magician, and his combat power is at the same level as the Epic Knight.
"Then come with me, and please don't barge in." The tone of the Zhixin Palace guard became much more respectful.
The guard brought the old man with missing ears to the magic tower. A white-robed magician descended from the sky and briefly asked the guard a few questions.
"Give me the letter from your ancestor, and I will forward it to the palace lord." The white-robed magician said to the old man with missing ears.
The old man with missing ears took out a stone slab from his waist and handed it to the white-robed magician.
"Is this the letter?" Magician Bai Xing frowned and looked at the slate.
"The ancestor has set up a restriction, I believe your palace master can see it."
Hearing this, the white-robed magician became more convinced and said, "You wait here. If the princess has a reply, I will tell you."
"Thank you, Your Excellency." The old man with missing ears may have felt that the white-robed magician was of equal strength to him, so his attitude was very polite.
The white-robed magician turned around and walked into the tower.
After about a cup of tea, the white-robed magician returned to the tower.
At this time, a red light suddenly shot down from the high tower, and the target was the old man with missing ears.
The old man with missing ears was horrified. The red light was moving too fast and he had no time to dodge. However, the red light stopped when it hit the top of his head and turned into a ball of flame floating above his head.
The white-robed magician had a calm look on his face, as if he had known this would happen for a long time, and said, "The palace master has already replied to the letter. Just go back and see your ancestor immediately."
The expression of the old man with missing ears returned to normal, and he bowed respectfully to the top of the tower, "Thank you, Lord Palace!"
"I won't send you away." The white-robed magician made a gesture of invitation.
The old man with missing ears nodded, turned and left without saying a word.
He ran out of the Jiuzandeng Mountains and came to Linhai Prefecture. He did not dare to walk on the main road under a ball of flames, so he had to choose a less traveled path.
Before dark, he came to the small town closest to the Nine Lanterns Mountains.
Before he entered the town, a man suddenly emerged from the ground in front of him, a middle-aged man.
"Have you offended Zhixin Palace?" The middle-aged man's face darkened.
The old man with missing ears shouted that he was wronged and recounted what happened to him in Zhixin Palace.
The middle-aged man's face softened slightly and he said, "Ning Huang has such a big temper. Didn't he scare his watchdog? He actually used this method to retaliate."
He stretched out his palm to grab the flame, and somehow managed to grab a piece of flaming red letter paper.
The old man with missing ears watched nervously as the middle-aged man finished reading the letter, and then asked: "I wonder if my subordinates have completed your instructions?"
I'm out of town these days, so it's hard to update normally. I'll try my best to write, and I'll try to make up for what's missing in April.
