Jinus brought a group of outsiders to take charge of the ancient city of Stone. The notice boards in the city were filled with portraits of the new city lord, and the latest regulations he promulgated. Anyone entering the city must pay an entry fee, and merchants with carriages are required to pay.
Charges based on weight. These two points alone are annoying. This is a catastrophe for free trade wandering merchants.
So as soon as the new regulations came out, a group of small traders gathered in front of the ancient castle to protest. Coupled with the road repair project in Stone Ancient City, many road sections became crowded. The biggest impact was on the merchants of the Dragon Boat Empire, who transported goods
The truckloads of goods that came over required a large amount of tax. Naturally, they would not pay this amount. Many merchants did not enter the city, but chose to camp outside the city.
At this time, a temporary camp built by an unknown person attracted the attention of the merchants. The trees there had just been cut down, and a road was built for carriages to travel. It is not known when three hotels were built. And the bread in the hotel was very delicious.
It was soft and delicious, and the food came in a variety of styles. The three hotels were packed with people at once.
A large number of carriages are parked outside, and businessmen like to exchange information while drinking in the tavern. No one knows who the owner of this hotel is. The people who run it are a group of people who don't like to talk. The only characteristic is that they have a tattoo on their right arm.
Some ancient runes.
Businessmen are people who are always looking for opportunities to make money. Soon someone set up a temporary trading station here. For some reason, the businessmen who came to this temporary trading station have heard such a rumor:
Go east from here and step into the territory of the demons. There is a city called Wusen there. The demons there are willing to trade with humans. They have gems and food that make merchants make a fortune, and what they need
, just ordinary daily necessities produced by humans.
Of course, most people treat these rumors as rumors. Over a mountain to the east is the territory of the terrible demon clan. It used to be the territory of the Demon King of Hades, but after the Demon King of Hades was eliminated, it was rumored that the Demon King Beast
The emperor annexed it. Orcs are very terrifying warriors. How can ordinary merchants dare to risk going to such dangerous places?
But there are exceptions. Among wandering merchants, there are many people who are desperate for their lives. They are willing to take risks for high rewards, but such people have not yet appeared...
Rael finally signed a contract. She would help the Demon King build a city that could replace Stone Ancient City and conduct trade with humans. After two days of rest, Greno's injury recovered well. After the Demon King told her that these two days
After the incident in Tonggu City, Leer hurried back in the carriage arranged by the Demon King.
She didn't expect that such a thing would happen, so she rushed back before the conflict broke out between the Dragon Boat Empire and the Luas Empire.
The Demon King is preparing to start his expansion plan. The hibernating lizard tribe has woken up and the lake has begun to thaw. He will develop fisheries in the lizard tribe's territory, that is, the lake and swamp, and carry out a large-scale fish farming plan.
The territory of the Leopard Tribe and the Dog-Head Tribe is mostly grassland, where the Demon King will breed a large number of cattle, pigs, sheep and other livestock. The Ketu Tribe will continue to serve as a planting area, providing food and feed and pasture for breeding.
.
The Ufa Forest itself has a large number of trees, which is an amazing wealth. As long as it is properly utilized, it can bring inexhaustible harvests. The minerals mined by the mouse tribe will be processed into tools and weapons by humans.
The Half Horse Tribe is the race that is most familiar with the Ufa Great Forest. They will open up roads that will spread out from the Kotu Tribe and connect every tribe in the Ufa Great Forest.
This plan will be completed within three months. After one winter, the Demon King has unified the entire Ufa Forest, and many demons who have fled from outside have defected to his command. Although the Ufa Forest is rich in resources,
The water source is not abundant, there are no big rivers, only small rivers and streams. It is destined that there will be no way to form a large city here, only the decentralized division of labor like now.
Therefore, the devil wants to find a new territory and build a large city.
Originally, he wanted to directly seize the city of Demon King Mingtian, but the appearance of evil spirits forced him to give up the territory of Mingtian. The appearance of evil spirits shocked the demons. The demonic trees they planted actually provided nutrients for the evil spirits.
, when evil spirits eat fresh life or that disgusting, mucus-filled fruit, they will change, become more powerful, and even gain intelligence.
In the territory of the Demon King of Hades, after countless battles, evil spirits are rampant there and it is very unstable. Neither the demons nor humans are willing to come close, so the Demon King will naturally not clean up this mess.
So he had to find a new place, a place that was broad, suitable for development, rich in resources, and suitable for building a city.
But how could such a good place be waiting for him empty? But it was, and he found such a suitable place right away, and it seemed to be tailor-made for him.
That place is the Lost City-Gotham.
There is only one resident there now, and that is the demon king who claims to be the most powerful, the former hero Besis. For more than ten years, he has guarded the vast territory alone without any of his subordinates. Both humans and demons have always wanted to occupy it.
That place.
Lost technology, the once most prosperous city of mankind, is located there. The Dragon Boat Empire only obtained a small part of the technology, and it was able to transform from a second-rate empire to one that can compete with the Luas Empire, the Ross Empire and other great powers in the blink of an eye.
giant.
This caused various empires to continuously send troops and survey teams in the early stages, but each time they suffered heavy losses and returned without success. The Adventurer's Guild also intervened, but one day, the guild leader An Mihu ordered that no one be allowed to do so.
For any adventurers to participate in related missions, Gotham has also become the first black area of the union.
No one knows the specific reason. Some people speculate that it is because of the relationship between the president Anmihu and Besis. There are also rumors that Anmihu tried to destroy the brave man who became the devil, but failed.
The Demon King walked out of the balcony and looked at the scenery outside. At this time, the town of the Ketu tribe was already quite large. A wooden spaceship skeleton appeared in the town, with human carpenters working on it, and the flying chicken tribe holding it with their claws.
Construction materials are transported to high altitudes on sails.
This will be a spaceship, built according to the devil's drawings, and made of thousand-year-old hardwood from the Ufa Forest. It is even as strong as a steel ship. And it can carry more weight, and it is strong enough to carry
It can move an entire tribe and can transport dozens of tons of cargo.
When this spaceship is built, it will be time for the Demon King to set out for battle.
But it won't be completed for a while, and there is still a problem at hand that has not yet been resolved.
