Chapter five hundred and forty-eight things in the north
People come and go on the streets of Miracle City. Under the unrelenting policy tilt of the Hunter family, Miracle City has shown an almost abnormal prosperity. In less than a year, its development level has not only exceeded its original
Ironwood City is catching up with Piaoxue City, the original largest city in the North.
Nowadays, Piaoxue City still has a certain advantage in terms of population, but its economic prosperity has fallen behind compared to Miracle City. Moreover, one has reached a state of rapid development and the other has completely embarked on a gradual downward path. Although Richard has never
They intend to suppress Piaoxue City, and are even trying their best to maintain the prosperity of Piaoxue City. However, with the transfer of the center of the Northland, the decline of Piaoxue City is completely unavoidable.
Not only because the dignitaries of the North have attacked the Miracle City, but also because the things within the Miracle City that are more suitable for cultivation have become the consensus of the Northland nobles. The Northland nobles who were originally hesitant to give up their land and castles began to work hard.
Many people flocked to Miracle City, and even sold off the land and castles they originally owned to buy a house in Miracle City. In less than a year, the land price in Miracle City increased dozens of times, and almost all the land nearby was in Miracle City.
In Richard's hands, Richard made a lot of money, and the Hunter family's finances can now be said to be extremely rich.
As for the rumors of Miracle City among the common people, it is even more evil. Originally, some farmers who did hard work in Miracle City felt that their physical strength recovered faster after working here, and some hidden injuries seemed to have occurred after staying for a long time.
He got better and his strength increased. Once he returned to the countryside, it was as if he could live a long life by living in the Miracle City.
The combination of several factors caused a huge siphon effect in Miracle City. The wealth and population of the entire Northland were desperately concentrated in Miracle City. On the periphery of Miracle City, kobold slaves continued to expand the city without stopping for a day.
Although it has passed, it still cannot meet the demand for housing for the influx of people.
When Richard returned to the North this time, he was not in a hurry to use teleportation to return to the castle directly. Instead, he stopped from time to time to observe the situation of the territory after arriving at the boundary of the river valley. As the supreme ruler of the North and the river valley, he
It's been a long time since I took a closer look at the territory I rule.
The river valley has basically returned to its homeland under Catherine's combination of force and softness. The group of people who have not returned have been saved by Moriel earlier using physical means. After the implementation of the new ruling system, the population of the river valley has not only declined due to
The previous unrest decreased, but because the strict household registration system cleared out the population that had been secluded by the nobles in the river valley, coupled with the refugees attracted from the southern kingdom's territory, the population of the river valley increased from the previous 600.
The number increased from tens of thousands to more than seven million.
Richard casually asked Catherine if there was any backlash in attracting refugees from the southern kingdom, but the answer he received was that none of the surrounding nobles dared to say anything.
The name of a person, the shadow of a tree. In addition to being famous for his top combat power in the kingdom, Richard is also another label for him. No one dares to trouble Richard because of some refugees. In addition to being incompetent and furious, they are also the most
We can only strengthen the management of the civilians on our own territory.
…
"In just a few short months, Miracle City has taken on a completely different look."
After leaving the river valley, Richard and others spent almost a day returning to Miracle City, stopping and walking.
Although Richard would return to the Northland every month to buy newly refreshed treasures in the store, but because of the war at Longxi Pass, he would leave in a hurry every time and did not dare to stay too long. He had not taken a closer look at the Miracle City for a long time.
At this time, Richard and his entourage returned to Miracle City, and after covering up their appearance a little, they walked together on the spacious streets of the city.
The main street, which can accommodate twelve horse-drawn carriages, has a constant flow of people. It is no exaggeration to say that almost all the people are waving their sleeves here. Whether they are wearing brocade clothes or linen, the faces of the pedestrians are basically rosy. At first glance,
At least he had enough to eat and was not hungry, which was in sharp contrast to the plain-looking civilians in other places.
"Only after traveling all the way from Longxing Pass, I feel that this land is the real paradise on earth."
Compared to Richard, the sword master next to him was dressed in linen and had almost no characteristics like most civilians in the city. The only thing that caught people's attention was the simple-looking long sword he went to the north. If you look closely, you might be able to see that long sword.
The sword is extraordinary. The sword master dressed like this follows Richard like a long follower following his young master out.
Strictly speaking, from the perspective of modern people like Richard, the living standards of the civilians in their own territory are just that. Most people are in a state of being able to eat enough. If they want to eat meat casually to achieve nutritional balance like modern people,
That is almost impossible. If there is some natural disaster, the ability to resist is simply pitiful. But in this era, it is definitely a situation of great governance, and compared with the miserable life of the common people under the rule of the nobles of the kingdom, Keshid can't help but feel
Made this sigh.
After admiring the prosperity of Miracle City, Richard also aroused some pride in his heart. When faced with Keshid's praise, he did not be as modest as usual, but responded.
"A paradise is not a paradise. Only when everyone can live a life of food and clothing can it be considered a paradise."
In front of Keshid and others, Richard had no need to hide his ambitions, and directly stated his ambitions, which made Keshid's eyes flash with a sparkle.
"Keshid is willing to use the sword in his hand to create a paradise for you."
…
"Master Richard is back!"
After passing through the bustling main street, Richard and others arrived at one of the core places of the City of Miracles, the Hunter family's castle.
Because there was almost no warning for Richard's return, and no one was sent to greet him in advance, the people in the castle didn't react until they reached the door.
The waiters and guards in the castle paid attention and saluted all the way. After Richard walked some distance into the castle, they saw Mrs. Kellyn who was full of joy and had come out to welcome him.
"Mother!"
Before Mrs. Kailin could say anything, Richard went up to him and bowed, and then Mrs. Kailin grabbed his hand and began to inspect him.
After confirming that Richard was not injured, he felt relieved.
"It's good that it's not hurt, it's good that it's not hurt."
"You went to Longxi Pass to fight. I couldn't eat well or sleep well every day, for fear that something might happen to you."
"I am the most powerful person in the kingdom, so there will be no surprises."
Richard comforted Mrs. Kailin indifferently, and picked out some of the battles at Longxingguan to talk about. Anyway, he won the battle easily, or it was a battle to protect himself, as for being assassinated by a shadow assassin.
It was a thrilling thing to hear, so of course Richard didn't say a word.
"Where has Father gone?"
"He went out with your second and third uncles early in the morning, saying they were going on patrol, but who knows that they just wanted to go hunting together. This old guy doesn't know how to share things with his son, and he just wants to have fun all day long."
Mrs. Kailin always couldn't help but complain a few words when she mentioned Richard's father. Richard was already used to it, so he just called the personal guards on the side and said:
"Go and find my father, second uncle, and third uncle together. During this period, my father, second uncle, and third uncle should not leave the city to hunt, but stay in the city. If you must go out of the city, you must bring enough
Guard."
"Yes, sir!"
Even shadow assassins have appeared, and Richard is worried about the dangers Sauter and others will encounter when they go out of the city.
"Why isn't the Messiah here?"
The Messiah will live a little far away from the front yard of the castle, but while Richard and Mrs. Kelly are talking, it is time for the Messiah to come.
"You still remember the child Messiah. She said she must learn magic well so that she can go to the battlefield with you next time. She went to Snowfield City with Mr. Gandolf and the others some time ago."
Richard nodded, as long as he knew where to go, Snowfield City should be the most active place for magic in the entire continent because of the energy tower. He was also the one who made the decision to move the magic academy in the North to Snowfield City. The only one
The problem is that Snowfield City is too cold and not a suitable place for survival.
However, the issue of Xueyuan should also be resolved. When Richard returned to the North this time, the first thing he wanted to solve was the issue of Xueyuan's rule.
Normally, Richard would not have much interest in a land like the snowfield. The reason is very simple. The climate here is harsh and is completely unsuitable for human survival. It is also impossible to farm. When you hoe, you will either find glaciers or frozen soil, which is white all year round.
The wind can blow people into ice sculptures at every turn, and it is too cruel to exile criminals. In comparison, the ogre wilderness can at least graze and settle, and it has no value at all in ruling the snowfield.
And even if you control a strong fighting race like the Snow Giant, it doesn't mean much. These guys are strong, but their performance is greatly affected by the climate. They are severely afraid of heat. The limit of their range of action is the area between the snowfield and the wilderness border.
, it is basically unbearable if you go further south, and there is no point in using it as a soldier.
Before, the Snow Giants basically lived a life of harmony with humans, but it changed after the establishment of Snowfield City. No matter what others thought of the Snowfield, it was very important to Richard to rule the Snowfield, at least.
The only reason to nominally complete the rule of the snowfield is to complete the task of unlocking the seventh-level soldier of the tower force, rule the snowfield, and make the snow giant clan surrender to him.
Of course, before setting out to completely conquer the snowfield, Richard had something more important to do first.
After picking up some information that Mrs. Kailin liked to hear, and continuing to chat with his mother for a while, Richard left the Hunter family's mansion and went to the core of the City of Miracles, the Rock Castle.

…
Soldier Type: Holy Dragon X1
Introduction: Neutral troops are also the topmost existence among the dragons. They are recognized as the strongest troops in the entire world of Invincible Heroes. They can possess holy-level combat power as adults.
Resource category:……
After glancing at the new products in the store, I saw that holy-level troops finally began to appear among the arms, which was considered a step forward.
The potion is no longer a basic potion, but a potion that can help break through the holy level. Of course, this thing is still of little use to Richard. If it had appeared earlier, it could still be regarded as a treasure by Richard. Now it is
We can only use it as a carrot, a huge carrot, to exchange credits for resources.
The Knight's Stigma Potion is indeed of little use to Richard, but to the talents of the entire kingdom, it is undoubtedly like throwing a king bomb on a calm lake.
In the context of energy recovery, many sky-level masters will inevitably appear in the future, and there may even be hidden earth knights who have succeeded in breaking through. However, when it comes to the threshold from sky to holy level, I don’t know how many outstanding people have been blocked from crossing the threshold.
At that time, Rand, one of the three top Sky Knights under Aragorn, was suspected of betraying him because of an opportunity to break through to the holy level. This shows how rare this opportunity to break through the threshold is.
As for the treasure war shackles, although it does not seem to have any attributes and does not seem to have many special benefits, it is a great weapon in Richard's eyes.
The game is not like reality. In a real war, Richard can use war shackles according to the battlefield situation. If he can't beat him, he will run away. If he can't beat him, he can use war shackles directly on the opponent's important figures, putting the opponent in a dilemma. If he uses it well, it is simply a killer.
A strategic artifact.
As the quality of the treasures continues to improve, the prices of the goods are also rising. The total price of the goods this time has reached 100,000 gold. A similar expense once a month is enough to overwhelm a marquis-level noble. Maybe
Even the kingdom's finances will be overwhelmed.
In the past, Richard had to live a tight life when purchasing these goods, but with the development of the Northland, especially the increase in value of the large areas of land around Miracle City, Richard is now rich and can hardly put aside more than 100,000 gold.
In my eyes.
Without any hesitation, I bought these new products from the market, and then patrolled the Stone Castle for a while, waiting for nightfall...
