What is the concept of five hundred million silver cords?
Just one thousand silver notes alone filled a whole cart.
Rod's weekly salary is 10,000 silver cords. Calculated based on 515 days per year, he would have to work for 136 years to earn so much money.
Hmm... Thinking about it this way, it doesn’t seem like a lot?
Of course, this must be an illusion.
The ultra-rapid development of Fanxing Town is due to Rhodes’ crazy spending of money.
He told Vilas, who was far away in the royal city, asking him to spread the word about the pioneers of Fanxing Town, the first rising star of Trolian in 1325, the great black bastard Rhodes, throw away the money!
All residents who move to Fanxing Town will not only be allocated a house for free, tax-free, but also receive a monthly resettlement subsidy.
Such favorable conditions immediately broke through the psychological defenses of the residents of the royal city.
Especially the residents of the slums in the outer city. Their lives are extremely crowded. Dozens of people are crowded into a hut. Some people even have to sleep on the streets. They are often attacked by monsters at night. In the fantasy, they are surrounded by sacred fire and have high walls.
The protected royal city is far less safe than imagined.
They are extremely poor. They don't have their own houses or lights. They work in dark workshops day and night and can only earn a meager salary.
Now that this is the case, why not give it a try in Star Town?
At least it can make a contribution to mankind.
Vilas cleverly took advantage of this psychology.
When he gave speeches everywhere in the royal city, he highlighted Rhodes' identity as a pioneer and built him into an image of a lone hero. He told a touching story of him going deep into the darkness alone, igniting flames, slaying monsters, and opening up a space for human survival.
story, and imply that the hero needs their help.
Of course, the facts are quite different.
As a result, the residents of the Royal City, who had both spiritual and physical power, broke away from the high walls and sacred fires they once dreamed of, and took the direct line to Fanxing Town provided by the giant merchants in Maihara, starting their new lives. When they crossed the endless darkness, passed through the rolling black fog, and arrived at Fanxing Town, they looked at the huge town bathed in bright firelight, the wide and clean streets, the buildings full of classical artistic atmosphere, and the lively crowds,
As well as the bright copper lamps hanging in front of each house, the shock that hit everyone instantly made the regrets in everyone's hearts dissipate.
When they settled in with the help of the newly hired staff from the Fanxing Town Administration Office, and found that Fanxing Town was far from being as dangerous as they thought, their admiration for Rhodes rolled in like a torrential river.
And when they returned their letters through the Fanxing Town post office, the number of people trying to move to Fanxing Town increased explosively.
The special line established by Maihara's giant businessmen was full, and they added dozens of large psychic mechanical transport vehicles overnight, but it still couldn't be relieved. Every day, the front of the station was crowded with people from the slums in the outer city.
Everyone stretched their heads and looked to the west, eagerly awaiting the arrival of empty vehicles.
This grand occasion also spread to the Royal City Government Affairs Office and the Supreme Council.
Two of the three chief consuls had a greatly improved impression of Rhodes, and the elders even changed their previous harsh image and took turns bragging about Rhodes' achievements.
Some elders even severely criticized Guardian Qingyu for marrying more than 300 potential partners, including the great hero Rhodes, as a huge insult to him, and asked her to break off the engagement immediately so as not to block the position of the dozens of elders’ granddaughters behind her.<
/p>
The opponents could no longer sit still. The three justices, Karama, Amorri, and Laiweil, were particularly miserable. The large number of poor people fleeing greatly affected their workshop business and the income of the Kuyao mine.
After Chief Consul Talinas and Manolo Bana came to visit in person, the three justices made up their minds and decided to make a desperate move.
At the same time, the opponents are uniting more closely around Jon, the candidate for king, providing him with a large amount of materials and money, hoping that he can provide convenience to eliminate Rhodes.
Jon took it all.
He gave part of it to Rhodes, cut off part of it himself, and informed Rhodes of the conveniences he provided through Vivian one by one, asking him to be careful.
At this moment.
Rhodes has only one feeling, that is, the universe and the earth are all working together.
Everyone is trying their best to help him, and everything goes smoothly.
The reconstruction speed of Fanxing Town is beyond imagination. Not only the professional builders hired, but also all the residents here are very good at building, renovating and renovating old objects. Once they got their own houses, they spontaneously started to renovate them.
Work.
Not only your own house, but also the surrounding environment is changing rapidly.
This ancient town, which was destroyed 1,500 years ago, is now glowing with new vitality.
But Molly and others turned a blind eye to such things.
When Rhodes asked, they were quite surprised.
"Isn't that how it should be?"
"Isn't that how you think about it?"
In order to maintain his image, Rhodes had no choice but to cough: "I'm just testing you."
Molly's serious expression did not change at all.
Vivian gave him a huge eye roll to express her dissatisfaction.
At present, they are responsible for the work of the newly built administrative office.
Although Rhodes is the supreme leader who controls everything, the specific affairs are handed over to Molly, and Vivian is Molly's capable assistant. This means that most of the affairs in Fanxing Town are handled by these two women, only the decision-making
The affairs committee will come to ask Rhodes for instructions.
But even so, Rhodes is very busy, and the busiest affairs are matters related to combat and defense.
The defense master of the city defense army who made a special trip to Fanxing Town told him.
Fanxing Town is currently very dangerous. To the south is Ghost Lake, to the north is Blackwater Swamp, and to the west is the extremely dangerous Yin Soen Ruins. They are all crimson-level areas. The wandering monsters may change at any time due to changes in Fanxing Town. There are no city walls, no psychic barriers, no psychic generators, and no defensive facilities on the outside of Fanxing Town. Once attacked by monsters, it will cause huge losses.
Rod knew this very well.
But he did not accept the advice of the defense master. He only built sentry towers around the area and took the initiative to eliminate the incoming monsters.
The defense master admires Rhodes for pioneering darkness, and is therefore very anxious.
"Sir Rhodes, this kind of defense is very weak. After countless years of permeation, the black mist has a strange balance. If you light the fire and disperse the black mist, the balance of this area will be broken. Monsters will definitely
Something unusual happened."
Rhodes asked: "Are there any exceptions?"
"Unless there is good weather, the black mist will become dull due to the influence of the sun, moon and stars, and the influence of fire will be reduced."
"Yes, isn't tomorrow a fire sun?"
The defense master asked angrily: "What about the day after tomorrow?"
"Sunday."
"What about the day after tomorrow?"
"Sunday."
"Where does it end on Sunday?"
"Fire Sun."
The defense master was enraged: "You are farting, how do you know?"
Rhodes smiled and said: "I watched the sky at night, my sharp eyes penetrated the dark fog, my profound wisdom understood the trajectory of the stars, and my handsome face moved the stars, the sun and the moon, and they decided that the weather would be good for the next period of time.
”
The defense master was so angry that his dentures spit out.
"You brat, what are you talking about? This kind of rare good weather was not predicted by the White Tower full of masters of prophecy and astrology. How could you possibly predict it with your rookie astrology?"
Rhodes rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Master, how about we make a bet."
"Just fight, I've never lost a stick bet on Tongchui Street. If anyone loses, whoever loses will eat the other's shit for a week!"
How much do you like gambling and eating shit... The corner of Rhodes' mouth twitched.
"Big stick... Master, I think it's better for us to be more harmonious and hygienic. If I lose, I will become your teacher and obey any of your instructions. If you lose, you can work for me for free for one year. How about that?"
?"
The big stick blew his big brown beard and said loudly: "Okay! What you said, Miss Molly, you are a famous beauty in the Supreme Military War Department. You will be a witness, okay?"
Molly gave Rod a questioning look.
The latter gave her a look full of confidence.
Molly nodded: "In the name of fire, I witness that the agreement between Mr. Vic Big Stick of Tonghammer Street and Mr. Rhodes of Red Rock Village is valid."
The defense master walked away angrily, and Rhodes gave a victory gesture to Molly.
Molly looked at him with serious eyes like a class teacher, and pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses.
"Lord Rhodes, I have to remind you that the possibility of your victory is extremely slim."
Rhodes didn't pay attention to her words at all. He pointed at her slender legs and shouted: "Where are the black stockings?"
"During non-combat periods, there is no need to wear combat equipment."
Rhodes said angrily: "Why is it a non-combat period? Don't you see how dangerous it is now? What if I need you to possess me when I go out to fight? And I work so hard that I can't even see the black silk, which will affect me
If you feel like it, go and put it on quickly. You are not allowed to take it off again without my order."
Molly gave him a cold look and walked away expressionlessly.
And Rhodes immediately entered the dreamland on the spot, and once again confirmed the trajectory of the stars and the shape of the sun and the moon in the huge Star Square. The weather will be good in the next dozens of days.
"Haha, I deceived another master."
The book of knowledge has been running around me all the time, and two words are written crookedly in every word gap on the page.
"Divinity!"
It has been like this during this period. As soon as Rhodes enters the dreamland, it will chant sutras crazily in front of him.
There is a lot written on the page, but if you look closely, you can see that the word "divinity" is written all over the page.
Rhodes was extremely annoyed: "I know, isn't this what I'm doing?"
The Book of Knowledge also wrote: "Star Town is your territory. Its prosperity and output directly determine your contribution. The stars have begun to move, the shining moment is approaching, and the dreamland will soon gain divinity! You must work hard
Work! Every bit of divinity is our hope for survival!"
"Okay, okay, I understand."
The Book of Knowledge has written a lot more, all of which contain various details on how to obtain divinity.
Rhodes couldn't stand it anymore and had no choice but to escape from the dream.
But after a while, the book of knowledge started making noise in my mind again, and another spiritual monster tried to attack the dream bubble.
Rhodes could only return to the dreamland and control the air bubble to throw away the monster at the Light Platform.
Then he left the dreamland to receive new visitors.
These people only recognize Rhodes, not because of him. They are not willing to come to such a dangerous place deep in darkness.
Therefore, he can only do these reception tasks personally and cannot shirk them.
After all, every bit of power now will make Fanxing Town stronger.
The more powerful Fanxing Town brought him more divinity.
More divinity will bring greater power to the dream and give him more protection.
