After a day's march, Bai Xiaowen could already see the tall walls of New Baishi City.
The fact that White Rock City can have such a large city wall is also due to the previous city lord, Ma Qi, who commanded the tireless plague undead and worked hard to have such a stable city defense. Otherwise, facing the zombie wave spreading in northern Xinjiang,
, it is difficult to defend a city wall with weak defense.
"Stop! Who are you?"
The sentry on the wall shouted loudly.
Kitts shouted: "It's the lord! Open the city gate quickly!"
The sentry shrank back, probably to report.
Bai Xiaowen said: "First, kill the zombies near the city gate and clear a safe area." He could see that there were groups of zombies wandering near the city gate.
A group of soldiers agreed with a bang.
However, just as Bai Xiaowen was marching, the city gate suddenly opened, and a heroic female general wearing white armor, with her cloak flying, rushed out with a team of crossbowmen! She gave an order, and the crossbowmen fired a volley, killing three
Five groups of zombies were shot to the ground.
The female general herself is even more powerful. She takes off her long bow and shoots arrows, specifically selecting elite individuals among the zombies who are tall and significantly stronger than other zombies. Almost every arrow can penetrate a zombie's body.
brain.
The dozens of zombies wandering around the city gate all fell to the ground in less than ten seconds.
"Put away the crossbow, change the knife, and chop off the heads of these monsters!" The white-armored female general said in a crisp voice.
The crossbowmen took out their daggers from their waists and ran towards the zombies who were lying on the ground and slowly recovering their health points. As long as their heads were not attacked, the zombies' health points would not die even if they were emptied, but they would only lose their health points temporarily.
Just mobility.
However, after the crossbowmen chopped off the heads of these zombies who fell to the ground, they were really "dead".
"Cecilia." Bai Xiaowen rode on the horse, smiling and nodding.
"Welcome back, Dio." This female archer general is none other than the female lord Cecilia. She rode up with undisguised joy on her face.
"I originally wanted to deal with them myself." Bai Xiaowen said. These are all psychic points.
Cecilia couldn't guess Bai Xiaowen's thoughts, and chuckled: "It doesn't matter, these days, every once in a while, I will lead the troops out to raid, just treat it as training. You see, these crossbowmen are originally ordinary
People can now be considered usable soldiers."
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said: "Thank you for your hard work...and, I'm sorry. You can't go back to your territory now."
"No, I want to thank you instead," Cecilia said seriously. "It is because of you that I was able to rescue some of the people in my territory, and the medicine provided by your subordinates gave them a second life."
Second life... Dio, I hope you won't blame yourself for the Umbrella Project. Without you, everyone in Northern Xinjiang will become plague undead sooner or later, and I will also lose my territory."
After a pause, Cecilia said with a smile: "Now, I have at least saved some of the people in the territory and have a place to stay. Dio, you won't drive us away, will you?"
"Of course not. Baishi City will always be your home, Cecilia," Bai Xiaowen said, "Besides, I'm in Northern Xinjiang... to be precise, I can't stay in this world for long. I
I also want to ask you to help me manage this territory...I wonder if you are willing?"
Cecilia had received hints from Bai Xiaowen before and knew about his identity as a visitor from another dimension. When Bai Xiaowen said this, she was not too surprised. She just said with some sadness: "I do."
Spiritual world rules prompt information:
"Lord Cecilia has joined your domain."
"It has been detected that you possess the permanent fiefdom order of the White Stone Territory issued by the Crown Prince of the Plantagenet Empire."
"It has been detected that you have a level 2 city: Hongye City, and you are located in Hongye City."
"Do you want Hongye City to be your main city?"
Bai Xiaowen led the army and entered the city side by side with Cecilia, while silently chanting: "Yes, I want to change the name of Hongye City to White Rock City."
Spiritual world rules:
"Modification approved."
"Your temporary lord page has been upgraded to the lord console."
"You can issue orders for city construction, personnel appointments and removals, material deployment, military operations, etc. through the lord console to the White Stone Territory. This power originates from the Plantagenet Empire's permanent fiefdom order contract and will last until the demise of the Plantagenet Empire."
Bai Xiaowen multitasked and opened the lord console.
A slightly illusory map of the Baishi Territory appeared in front of Bai Xiaowen's eyes. However, there was a large area of black fog on the map, and only Baishi City and part of the original Baishi Town territory were visible.
In the visible area of the map, there are various icons, including the castle icon representing Baishi City, the village icon representing Baishi Town, the iron ore icon representing the Cliff Iron Mine, and the small icon representing the silver mine in Baishi Town...
Bai Xiaowen clicked on the castle icon of Baishi City, and the console interface instantly switched to a bird's-eye view of Baishi City. There was a row of options next to it, including personnel appointments and removals, city construction, material allocation, military operations...
Bai Xiaowen opened the appointment and removal option and found that there was only one mayor of Baishi City who could be removed. He tried to appoint, and then the "appointable candidates" popped up, with a total of ten character avatars, including Bai Xiaowen himself.
It is worth mentioning that Kitts and Dr. Zombie are among the free options for the city director. In addition, there are Cecilia and several knights under her command.
"Li Shuyi and I have no choice... we can only stay for a few days and won't be here for a long time. Just appoint Cecilia."
Bai Xiaowen clicked on Cecilia's portrait.
"Do you want to appoint Viscount Cecilia as the Lord of White Rock City? Note: After leaving the world of Kane's plane, all your daily management instructions for White Rock City need to be completed through the Lord of the City. Please choose carefully."
Bai Xiaowen chose yes.
"You have appointed the Lord of White Rock City as: Viscount Cecilia. Please announce this appointment in front of the people of White Rock City. This represents your contract granting you the power to govern White Rock City and once again grant it to Viscount Cecilia."
"Cecilia can already communicate with you spiritually through silent chanting, whether you are in the spirit world or the earth plane."
Cecilia, who was chatting with Li Shuyi, suddenly looked over with an "ah" sound. She felt that there was an inexplicable spiritual connection established between her and Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen smiled at her.
Then there are building options. There is more information in this column.
Mill (level 1): can produce food [rye bread].
"Is this... the battle food of the Awakened, that kind of rye bread?" Bai Xiaowen was startled and asked quickly. After receiving a definite answer about the rules of the spirit world, he became even more surprised.
"But, after I leave the world of Kane's plane, how can I get the rye bread produced by the mill?" Bai Xiaowen had a new question.
The spirit world rules prompt message: "You can view the materials in the 'warehouse' in the 'material allocation' option of the lord console, and choose to transfer the materials to your private storage space. Tip: Transferring materials will consume a certain amount
Psychic point."
"How many psionic points are consumed?" Bai Xiaowen gradually calmed down. If too many psionic points are consumed, this function will actually be useless.
"Taxation will be based on the valuation of the materials themselves, and the collection ratio will be between 10% and 30%."
"Very good." Bai Xiaowen was sure, this ratio is not high!
Although it is said that all materials produced in Baishi Territory belong to the lord Bai Xiaowen, and transferring to private storage space requires additional charges, which is a bit unpleasant, you must know that this is an interdimensional transfer!
How much does it cost to charge such a small amount for shipping? Not much.
Bai Xiaowen instantly thought, now it is only a level 1 mill. When the building is upgraded to level 2, level 3 or even higher, it must be more than just rye bread, right? The high-end food seen at the quartermaster of Black Rock Fortress,
Food that can increase buffs after eating should also appear one after another.
In addition to mills, there are other buildings in Baishi City that can also produce other psychic items. These items can be transferred to Bai Xiaowen's storage space by paying 10% to 30% of the estimated value.
If the tradable items, such as food, are traded, isn't it close to making money in vain? What's more, the valuation of items by the rules of the spirit world is inherently conservative, and the actual selling price is generally higher than the estimated price.
Bai Xiaowen, who owns a territory, already has the potential to become a rich man in the awakened class!
With future development, the benefits this territory can bring to him will become greater and greater.
These thoughts flashed through Bai Xiaowen's super brain instantly. 0.1 seconds later, he began to look down at other buildings to confirm his guess.
Sure enough, below the mill, there are a blacksmith shop, a jewelry store, a stable, a research institute... all kinds of buildings!
Blacksmith Shop (Level 2): Produces low-quality gray equipment (substandard products), standard whiteboard equipment used by low-level awakened people. Currently, it can produce whiteboard hand crossbows, short knives and leather armor.
Jewelry Shop (Level 1): Produces low-quality, whiteboard-quality jewelry and accessories. Currently, it can produce whiteboard rings and decorative earrings.
Stable (level 2): produces ordinary horses and ordinary military horses.
Research Institute (Level 3): Produces various pharmaceuticals.
There is something special about the institute, that is, there are already several medicines to choose from, such as the Plague Buster series, D-03 camouflage liquid, D-03 induction liquid, etc., but the latter two liquids
They are all out of stock, with only Plague Buster on the shelves.
When you click on the research institute, you can also see the avatar of a person (?), which is the big head of Dr. Zombie. Once you choose to let Dr. Zombie leave the research institute, the research institute will immediately drop to level 1, producing various
All the special potions have disappeared, leaving only a "small life potion", which has the same effect as the "Silver Light Potion" in the Earth Pharmacy.
"I understand... these special buildings require talents with corresponding sub-professions to work in order to improve the building level!"
When Bai Xiaowen attacked the city and fought against the three leaders of the undead plague, many residents of Hongye City chose to run away.
Many residents who have the ability to run softly and do not worry about starving to death on the road or losing their livelihood in a new environment are those who have special skills, or are called "sub-professional talents". They left behind with an uneasy mood.
…Basically they are ordinary residents with no special talents.
Bai Xiaowen's heart ached when he thought of this. What are you doing running around, haven't you all turned into zombies now? Stay here, this lord can cure you!
Therefore, the current prosperity of White Rock City is very low, and the level of special buildings is not high. Fortunately, Cecilia brought a group of people, including some sub-professional talents, to fill some of the gaps, such as blacksmith shops and stables.
etc.
Moreover, with the current situation in Northern Xinjiang, there is no need to attract any foreign sub-professional talents in the short term. We can only rely on the talents in this city to study and improve the sub-professional level.
In the back, there are medicine gardens, mines, lumberyards, barracks, taverns and other buildings.
Lumberyards and mines are buildings that provide territorial building materials resources, and do not require any professional talents.
Barracks (Level 3): A special building for recruiting and training soldiers. In the current barracks, Cecilia is also the city lord. The soldiers that can be trained are: archers, crossbowmen, and light cavalry. However, Cecilia’s
The abilities obviously don't stop there. On top of these two arms, there are also "strong archers", "heavy crossbowmen", "heavy armored cavalry" and other arms, but they are limited to the level of the blacksmith shop and cannot be trained for the time being.
Medicine Garden (Level 1): Can grow some common psychic medicinal materials in Northern Xinjiang. Current output: cold root grass, silver thread flower, are all low-level medicinal herbs.
What is more interesting is the tavern, which is a place used to attract adventurers. Adventurers can be recruited to join the White Stone Territory, and mission contracts can also be issued for adventurers to complete.
But again, given the current situation in Northern Xinjiang, basically no adventurers will come. There are only two types of people who can come to the White Rock City Tavern, one is a fool who is lucky, and the other is someone with special skills.
Strong people. The ratio of these two types of people... is too small compared to the entire group of adventurers.
In addition to the above buildings, there are also some gray building options on the overlooking map of White Rock City, which are special buildings that have not yet met construction needs.
For example, the inscription shop is used to make magic scrolls, but it requires at least one magic apprentice who has received systematic education to build it. This is the official statement, which means that it requires a talent with the inscription sub-profession.
Bai Xiaowen summarized that this territory can be described as "a bright future for money", but it is still in a stage where everything is waiting for improvement. Fortunately, with Cecilia, a female lord with rich experience and high martial arts value,
The territory can develop normally without worrying about anything going wrong after he leaves.
Bai Xiaowen summoned the army and the people, displayed the permanent fiefdom order in public, and announced that Cecilia was appointed as the lord of Baishi City, with the right to make decisions on all matters in Baishi Territory, second only to the lord.
