"Okay, let him go to Far West City to contact the local players first, and gather together the players who are willing to join us."
Liu Xing looked at the detailed map of Boyang City that Meng Fugui bought with money, pointed to an open space in the southeast corner and said, "I see that the rest of Boyang City is full of people, so why is there still an open space here?
Is this because the map hasn’t been updated in time?”
Meng Fugui shook his head and said seriously: "This was originally a residential area, but a fire broke out ten years ago! You also know that the ancient buildings here are mainly made of wood, supplemented by masonry.
So when a fire came down, it burned everything; of course, in the past ten years, many people wanted to buy this vacant land. After all, this land has been cleared of ruins, whether it is used to build large houses,
You can build a warehouse or something, but the problem is that these people who bought the vacant land have encountered a little trouble, that is, they can't lay the foundation."
"This is a very standard story routine. There will always be some weird things happening in places like this. In short, it is impossible for you to build a house in this open space; of course, there are also some Taoist monks who go here
After reading the feng shui of this vacant lot, they all concluded that this vacant lot has become the residence chosen by the souls who were buried in the sea of fire. Therefore, it is impossible for you to build another house on someone else's house unless you can control them.
Or find a way to send them away."
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "This is indeed a very classic story routine, but I really didn't expect that the concept of soul would also appear in this martial arts module. Could it be that there are also some skills related to the soul?
?”
"This is true, but all the techniques related to the soul are basically only practiced by people in the demon sect. Of course, according to the routines of martial arts novels, there must be some important members of famous and decent families who can't help it.
Practice this technique secretly; in short, this open space is an unsolvable existence for ordinary people, because they have no way to suppress the souls below, and if they want to send them away, they will have to spend a lot of money.
So this open space is just empty, and the souls down there won’t cause trouble to the people nearby anyway.”
Meng Fugui pointed to the open space and said: "However, the price of this open space is very cheap, and the area is also large. It is a good location for our alliance. Not only can we build a comprehensive office building, but we can also provide a
The remaining land where Xiangyong trains can be used to build a dormitory area that can accommodate thousands of people."
"Ah? Do you think we have a way to solve those soul problems?" Liu Xing said in confusion.
"I'm definitely not sure now, but I think we can still give it a try, because buying this vacant land can obviously trigger a task, and as long as there is a task, we will have an idea to solve the problem, so this
We can try to buy a piece of land; although this vacant land is located in Boyang City, the fire that year burned an isolation zone, so we are separated from the surrounding neighbors by a certain distance, as long as we close the door
That way you don’t have to have too much contact with them.”
Meng Fugui introduced: "Besides, the city lord of Boyang City also thinks that it is ugly to have such an empty piece of land in the city, so no matter who buys this land and does what he does, he can be exempted from paying taxes for ten years! No.
Wrong, even if you have other businesses in Boyang City, if you buy this vacant land and make use of it, you won't need to pay a dime in taxes for ten years, and what do you want to do with it?
A piece of land is fine, even if you want to build a swimming pool! That’s why so many people who don’t believe in evil have come to try it out in recent years, so this piece of land has been transferred to so many hands, but the price has really dropped.
Come down."
"Then the conditions are really good, but then again, how come there is a city lord in Boyang City? Logically speaking, shouldn't he be called a prefect?" Liu Xing asked curiously.
Because "Liu Peng" is just a doctor living in the countryside, he has little knowledge or even no understanding of certain aspects.
"Oh, this is not because before the establishment of the New Dragon Empire, there were many large-scale sects and big families who did not want to be involved in disputes. In order to protect themselves, they chose to build Wubao castles in certain places, and then after the war,
It constantly attracts refugees to join, and gradually expands into new cities. However, the controllers of the cities are still the heads and clan leaders, so in the final analysis, the Boyang City of that year is actually the same as the Heshan where you, Liu Peng, are.
The county is almost the same; but after the new Dragon Emperor completed the achievement of unifying the world, the sects and families that control the city naturally became a thorn in his side, and the heads and clan leaders also realized the danger."
"However, the sects and families that were able to survive until that time basically maintained a good relationship with the new Dragon Emperor. After all, if the relationship was not good, the new Dragon Emperor would have dealt with it long ago, so except for a few who are ignorant of current affairs,
The sects and families still wanted to resist stubbornly, and were killed in the end to scare the monkeys! The other sects and families opened their doors to the city honestly; of course, these sects and families had helped the new Dragon Emperor before, and now they are so aware of current affairs.
, so the new Dragon Emperor let these sects and families continue to be in charge of their respective cities with a wave of his hand, but the taxes will be higher than other cities, so these cities will not have governors, only city lords!"
"But under the city lord is the assistant prime minister, and the assistant prime minister is nominally sent by the new Dragon Emperor to assist the city lord. In fact, he is responsible for monitoring the city lord's every move. If the city lord does something wrong, then the city lord's position
It may be hanging! If the new Dragon Emperor cancels the position of city lord of a certain city, then the assistant prime minister can directly become the prefect, and the city will become an ordinary city; then the city lord of Boyang City is
What's the origin? He is the leader of Feishimen, the largest sect in Boyang City! According to legend, he stood on the tower of Boyang City and could hit anyone in Boyang City by picking up a random stone."
I see.
In fact, Liu Xing had already guessed the origin of this city lord before this. After all, there is a very famous character in martial arts novels - Ye Gucheng is the city lord of Baiyun City.
"This is a bit outrageous. Although I admit that the towers of Boyang City are quite high, there is no way to see every street in Boyang City clearly, right? So this stone also has the ability to strike beyond visual range.
?" Liu Xing said in disbelief.
"That's not true, but I heard that the first lesson for the official disciples of Feishimen is mathematics! Yes, they will learn parabola and other knowledge in detail, and calculate the impact of wind on stones. In short, I think this
The formal disciples of Feishimen can directly serve as artillerymen after leaving the army; but the point is that although the official disciples of Feishimen claim to be able to pick up a stone and use it as a hidden weapon, the locust stone produced by the inner sect has
To be particular, this thing is divided into several types such as armor-breaking, blunt weapon, cruise, etc., which can adapt to various environmental needs."
"But the most outrageous thing is this specialized throwing locust stone, because this stone can indeed accumulate gravitational potential energy when it falls to the ground, thus causing greater damage to the enemy, but this is also relative. After all, the locust stone
After all, it is just a small stone, so even if it falls from a height of more than ten meters, the damage will actually be very limited, and the falling speed is not too fast, so if you are prepared, you can easily avoid it or use a shield to defend.
, even if you directly resist with a helmet on, there is no problem; but the flying locust stone thrown by Feishimen is outrageous. Not only can it directly break through some weaker defense methods, but its falling speed is also outstandingly fast. Compared with other weapons, it is very fast.
An ordinary stone weighing as much as one would fall twice as fast!"
Hearing this, Liu Xing was already dumbfounded, because Liu Xing really didn't expect that the Flying Stone Sect had such outrageous locust stone production technology.
At this time, Ding Kun, who had been drinking tea nearby, suddenly said: "Feishimen should have made the throwing locust stone into a spiral structure, so when it is thrown, it uses internal force to rotate it, so it falls.
In the process, it gained faster speed, and at the same time it was able to easily crack those weaker defense methods; it seems that the scientific research ability of Feishimen is quite good, and it has actually invented so many different types of locust stones! So!
If we want to recruit NPCs after establishing the alliance, the first choice would be the disciples of Feishimen, because we can completely use them as special forces."
"Well, is there any way for us to recruit the disciples of Feishimen now, or hire them to help hunt the Sky Fire Crow? I think with them, the success rate of hunting the Sky Fire Crow can be improved by several levels.
Liu Xing said seriously.
After being silent for a moment, Meng Fugui shook his head and said: "It's difficult, it's too difficult, because even the outer disciples of Feishi Sect will receive an invitation from the city lord after leaving Feishi Sect, so most of the outer disciples of Feishi Sect will
As soon as the front foot graduated, the back foot received a letter of appointment to stay at the school; therefore, Boyang City has a very special garrison - the Feishi Army, which often assists Wutai in doing things, and also acts as a police officer.
In a month, he should be able to take up the position of part-time archer."
"In short, after this year, there may be only one or two outer disciples of Feishi Sect who will choose to leave, but they are basically determined to go home to develop, or have found jobs elsewhere, so we
It is difficult to recruit disciples of Feishi Sect; as for hiring, it is also difficult, because the treatment of Feishi Sect is very good. After all, behind Feishi Sect is Boyang City, so if you want to hire disciples of Feishi Sect, you should do it.
It will cost a lot of money! And didn’t I just say that the disciples of Feishi Sect are under great pressure to study, so they usually don’t leave the sect easily.”
Is it so troublesome?
Liu Xing frowned, and after sighing, he could only give up the idea of hiring Feishimen disciples.
"But after a month, we have a chance to hire disciples from Feishimen, because the new Dragon Emperor has prepared a rule before, saying that when certain events occur, the assistant prime minister will temporarily exercise his rights as the prefect.
, so by that time, there will definitely be some outer disciples of Feishi Sect who will face the dilemma of unemployment, because as a city lord, recruiting disciples of his own sect is a kind of behavior, so in normal times, if the assistant minister does not pursue it,
It’s easy to say, but when it comes to certain special moments, it’s hard to say.”
Meng Fugui touched his chin and said with a smile: "I also know a few outer disciples of Feishi Sect, because they often went to my place to drink, so I can directly recruit them to join the alliance. If I'm lucky,
You can also ask them to bring some friends with them.”
Liu Xing felt happy. Just when he was about to say something, he heard a bell ringing outside.
Meng Fugui stood up immediately, and then listened to the bell outside with a serious face, and the originally noisy teahouse suddenly became quiet.
Liu Xing noticed that except for himself, Ding Kun, and Yin En, who could not find anyone now, the other local players belonging to Boyang City were listening to the bells with serious expressions. It seemed that the bells should represent something.
.
After a while, the bell finally stopped.
"Something happened, the lord of Boyang City passed away!"
Meng Fugui sighed, shook his head and said: "The bells in Boyang City can convey dozens of different messages depending on the number of rings, so people in Boyang City will start to learn the bells after they learn to walk.
Meaning, and the bell just ringing means that the lord of Boyang City has died of illness; this old city lord is also highly respected and has done a lot of good deeds over the years... But the problem is that his sons don't give in very much.
He doesn’t have to worry about it. In short, everyone has their own problems, so who the next city lord will be may have a huge impact on our alliance."
Meng Fugui snapped his fingers and called Goudan over, "Goudan, you go outside now to inquire about the situation and see if the old city lord has chosen someone to take over his position! In short, any news will be reported back as soon as possible.
"
Goudan nodded and went out.
"If the old city lord really died of illness, it would be easy to say, because the old city lord has been plagued by all kinds of diseases in recent years. If he hadn't built a good foundation in martial arts when he was young, he might have been gone long ago; but the problem is that some time ago, a famous doctor
I came to give the old city lord a check-up, and he was told that as long as he takes medicine on time and pays attention to rest, he is 80% sure that he can live for another three years."
Meng Fugui frowned and said: "Although the old city lord is not as old as the new Dragon Emperor, he is still in his seventies and eighties, so there is no chance that someone will be able to bear it!"
