Chapter 110 Talent [Gluttony] and the new lord (for subscription)
When Xi Luo woke up again.
Was woken up by Alice.
He turned his head and looked out the window in a daze, it was dark.
"It's not even dawn, why did you wake me up?"
Seeing the half-breed boy who was already dressed beside him, Xi Luo couldn't help asking.
"It was Uncle Andy's people who came to invite us to the castle. They must ask us face to face about such a big thing that happened today.
Mr. Ciro, hurry up and go with me.
People outside can hardly wait. "
Alice replied.
"What a bunch of quick-tempered people."
Xi Luo muttered helplessly, straightened up from the ground, arched his body like a cat, and stretched his waist.
A little lazy, he walked outside the door with Alice.
A group of knights and soldiers holding torches had already gathered here.
After seeing Xi Luo and Alice appearing, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
The leading knight was the first to rush to the present before, looking at Xi Luo and apologizing:
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Ciro... After Mrs. Andy listened to my report, I must take you and Alice there."
"Forget it, it's not your fault, let's go."
Shiloh didn't get angry at these little things either.
Just follow along for a quick trip to the castle.
just reached.
Ciro saw the gloomy paladin Andy standing at the gate of the castle with a group of people.
Don't wait for the other party to speak first.
Shilo said:
"What happened, you should have confirmed with those two guys, right? I didn't lie."
"I've confirmed it. I didn't expect that Tai Long, who is usually silent, would do such a thing. Killing brothers and sisters is like a wild beast!"
Paladin Andy sighed.
Generally, the heirs of the nobles competed for power and profit among each other. Even the final winners rarely waved the butcher's knife at the losers.
Most of them just take away everything from the other party, and then exile, or even arrange in some small towns below themselves to be a small lord.
Originally, he thought that the three brothers would do the same, but he didn't expect to kill each other directly.
"Your Excellency, do you know?" After receiving the reply, Xi Luo couldn't help asking again.
"He knows...it's impossible to hide this kind of thing.
I couldn't hold on for a few days, and now I'm afraid I won't be able to see the sun tomorrow.
I am waiting for you here, just to let you see him for the last time.
Go...Miss Alice, go and see your father one last time. "
The paladin looked at the half-blood girl and said in a low voice.
His face was full of melancholy and helplessness.
"Father!"
Alice exclaimed in a low voice, and rushed into the castle with a sad face.
Xi Luo immediately followed quickly.
Came to the old lord's room again with Alice.
This old man was much worse than what he saw last time, as if he would die at any moment.
Couldn't get out of bed at all.
He could only stretch out his hand, call Alice's name softly, let her come to the bedside, hold her hand, and explain the funeral.
Shiloh listened silently.
It is nothing more than to hand over the position of lord to Alice, and ask her to listen to Andy carefully, saying how reliable Andy is, and can assist her well in the future.
And get along well with Xi Luo and so on.
This continued for about 10 minutes.
In the end, the old lord handed Alice a platinum-gold ring, telling her that it was the symbol of the Neite family, and swallowed his last breath.
Alice then burst into tears.
The door was pushed open, and the paladin Andy and the old housekeeper Andre also walked in.
A silent tribute to the dead old lord, comforting the weeping Alice.
Shiloh just watched silently.
I have been waiting by the side.
Wait until the next morning.
The lord's three sons all died by cannibalism, and the old lord couldn't stand the blow and was pissed off to death. The news that Alice succeeded to the throne began to spread wildly in the city.
A few kilometers outside the city of Nile.
A figure in a black robe looked annoyed at the distant city, gritted his teeth and said:
"Damn it! It's hard to find out the location of the Lord of Desire of Alexander the Great, the demon king of the undead.
It took so much effort to accept Tai Long as a disciple, hoping to wait for him to become a lord and rely on his power to find the whereabouts of the ring.
As a result, when he was about to succeed, he fell short!
Damn blue dragon!Damn Ciro Utraxis!I can't spare you! "
The black-robed figure kept cursing angrily, and the black energy surged all over his body.
After a long while, he regained his composure:
"Do you want to leave now? No! Absolutely not! The Lord of Desire is a legendary treasure. Owning it is equivalent to having the opportunity to become a legend. I must never give up!
Now leave in despair.
After 30 years, when the undead demon king revives, everything here will turn into a dead zone and become a paradise for the undead.
Even if I do find it by then, it won't be something I can get my hands on at all...
I have to find it!Otherwise my whole life would be over! "
At the end, the man in black robe showed firmness on his face.
The figure slowly twisted and finally disappeared.
a few days later.
The old lord's funeral is over.
The ceremony of succession to the lord started non-stop.
It is presided over by the paladin Andy and the bishop Sivir of the Church of the God of Wealth, which is the main faith of the city.
On the most central high platform in the city.
Dressed in a pure white armor, a sacred paladin Andy.
Sivir sub-stationed on both sides with a golden radiance.
Alice, a mixed-race girl, was wearing a formal attire and was receiving the congratulations.
A group of people gathered around the stage.
Closest to the central location is Xiluo and some noble lords nearby.
After that came the soldiers who maintained order, and the ordinary citizens who were separated.
under the stands.
"Even if His Excellency Xi Luo is among the giant dragons, he should be an extremely outstanding dragon.
Even at a young age, he is superior in strength, even more courageous and resourceful. "
"I never thought that in a human city, I could see a dragon showing its real body. The relationship between His Excellency Xiluo and the citizens of Nile City is very good."
"Your Excellency Xiluo, I think our two cities should be able to cooperate more and develop together in the future. What do you think?"
A group of nobles whispered to Shiloh.
Xi Luo also responded with a gentle face.
However, his pair of dragon eyes unconsciously glanced to the side.
A middle-aged man who claimed to be the emissary of Marquis Dorian.
To be more precise, it was the figure in silver armor beside the messenger.
Compared with the last time we met, he didn't have the dragon-slaying weapon in his hand...
"Your Excellency Xiluo, did you recognize us?"
Beside, the well-dressed envoy smiled lightly.
"Well, after two and a half years, I didn't expect to see you again in this form."
Shiloh nodded slightly.
He is not afraid of the two people around him.
After all, this is his territory. Besides his own dragon, there is also a level 14 paladin, a level 13 priest and a group of soldiers.
Even if the two had dragon-slaying weapons and knew their origins, they didn't dare to do it.
How can I say that his identity on the surface is also Lord Alice's life-saving grace dragon, a big good dragon!
"We didn't expect that either.
But now counting, they are all under the command of Marquis Dorian.
If you have the opportunity in the future, you can contact more. "
The messenger smiled, and suddenly pulled out a black card from the space ring in his hand, and handed it to Xi Luo.
"This is?"
"I think Mr. Xi Luo should be a dragon unwilling to be lonely?
You should have a wider, more fertile land, not be bound to this small territory.
This is the invitation card from Lord Marquis, you can come to O'Mara as long as you like.
Lord Marquis can give you the qualification and right to open up territories to surrounding or enemy countries through cooperation.
And I will lend you soldiers and equipment. Of course, you can discuss with the Marquis in person. "
the messenger replied.
"Roar?"
Xi Luo was a little surprised. Didn't expect the Marquis to be so optimistic about him?
He was given the qualification to go out and was willing to borrow troops.
But the price... how much is it?
This marquis, wouldn't he rely on this to increase his business income?
Before thinking of the matter of borrowing troops to go out to the green forest.
Xi Luo always felt that the price was not small.
Of course, he has no idea of dealing with someone he doesn't know.
When the surrounding nobles heard the words, they all showed envy.
No matter what, this represents the marquis's importance, and it is a great honor for ordinary little nobles and little lords.
"Master Marquis may have misunderstood me. I, Ciro Utraxis, just want to pass through the life of a dragon in a normal way and live peacefully with others. This has always been my ideal.
It is not my wish to open up the territory and attack others, but no matter what, I still accept the kindness of Lord Marquis. "
A hint of embarrassment appeared on Xi Luolong's face, but he finally accepted it reluctantly.
"It doesn't matter, no matter what, you will also be Lord Alice's Enlong in the future, and a member of Nile City.
Hope you enjoy your stay here. "The other party responded mildly.
Then he turned his attention to the stands again.
The succession ceremony was completed quickly.
After that, the lord needs to ride a horse to patrol the city for a day. These are troublesome things, and Xi Luo and the paladin Andy accompany him.
The busy work will not be over until the evening, and we will return to the castle together.
Just met Andre Butler.
Xi Luo couldn't wait to say:
"Housekeeper Andre! Where is the treasury of the old lord of the previous generation? Since Alice has inherited the position of lord, she should take a good look at the property she currently owns, so that she can better plan for the future."
"Well……"
The old housekeeper couldn't help but glanced at Alice when he heard this.
"Mr. Siro is right. Go to the vault and see how much property my father left behind."
The new female lord, who was dressed in a dress and could not conceal her beauty, nodded slightly.
"Then please come with me, both of you."
The old housekeeper nodded.
With one dragon and one person, they came to a spacious basement together.
It contained a pile of silver coins, gold coins, and several weapon racks, on which were placed more than a dozen weapons and armors.
Xi Luo stepped forward, scattered the accumulated gold and silver coins, and roughly estimated them with his eyes.
About two thousand gold coins.
More than a dozen weapons are not particularly powerful equipment.
It's more like an antique with some collection value, but it's not worth much, probably more than a hundred gold coins.
A lord in charge of a city with a population of 8 to [-], with only two thousand gold coins in the treasury?
This is less than expected.
Xi Luo's eyebrows furrowed unconsciously.
Probably seeing Xi Luo's thoughts, the old housekeeper whispered at the side:
"Your Excellency, Miss Alice, you don't know anything.
For now, the taxation of the territory is collected by the tax collector, but in the future, this tax will be divided into two parts.
Some of them were sent directly to the lord's castle.
Another part will be sent to the Office of the Interior, who will distribute and distribute it to pay officials, soldiers, etc. a series of expenses. "
"Administrator and tax collector?"
Hear both posts.
Xi Luo was taken aback, thinking of the dinner that Tai Long had a few days ago, he couldn't help but ask:
"Are they dead now?"
"The internal affairs officer was lucky enough to escape, and the tax collector is dead." The old housekeeper sighed.
"This time, too many officials have died. I would like to ask Miss Alice to issue a decree early tomorrow to hire some people to replace the dead. Otherwise, there may be chaos in the city after a long time."
"I will, but many people don't understand when I take over as the lord for the first time..." the half-breed boy said worriedly.
"The Internal Affairs Officer and Paladin Andy will teach you." The old butler comforted.
Xi Luo was not in a hurry to move this sum of gold coins afterwards.
Hmm... At least it's not convenient to move in front of the old housekeeper, he and the two exited the vault together.
Then he rested with the half-breed.
Xi Luo just fell asleep.
Once again entered the mysterious sea.
[Dragon Behind the Scenes]: You become the dragon behind the scenes of one lord, the actual controller of one territory.Award 5 achievement points.
Current Achievement Points: 30
"Finally collected 30 achievement points!"
Seeing this line of dark black characters, Xi Luo took a deep breath and showed joy.
Then he couldn't help but look down.
[Gluttony]: Your food intake will be greatly increased, and when paired with [Rapid Growth], it can further enhance the growth rate of your body. (Consume 30 achievements)
[Spell Genius]: You are born with an extremely strong talent. When learning and improving spells, you have special perception and understanding. (Consume 60 achievements)
Which of these two should I exchange for?
Shiloh couldn't help thinking.
The former is redeemable now.
The latter also needs to accumulate 30 achievement points.
30 achievement points... If there is no big event or luck, it should take a long time.
In addition, these two talents are also full potential talents.
There is no improvement in real-time combat power.
【Gluttony】Looking at the comments, you will know that the sooner you exchange, the greater the benefits.
Huge physique, for ordinary creatures, can be regarded as both good and bad.
A larger physique means better strength, defensive ability, and resistance stamina, but the sensitivity will be reduced, and it is easy to become a living target.
But overall, the pros definitely outweigh the cons.
What's more, the dragon also has spells, which can shrink itself. In the face of unfavorable situations, shrinking the body can solve the problem.
[Spell Genius] is also a potential talent, but it seems to be a little different from [Gluttony].
It does not belong to the earlier exchange, the earlier benefits.
This is somewhat like those gifted students of Blue Star.
No matter how talented a person is, in a certain direction, if he wants to achieve some achievements, he also needs primitive accumulation.
Such as those world-renowned great scientists.
If they didn't study hard at an early age and didn't accumulate enough knowledge, how could they become famous all over the world?
Thinking so far.
Shilo thinks.
[Spell Genius] It seems that this talent can be redeemed after he has mastered more spell knowledge.
In that way, his understanding and research of spells should also be greatly improved.
At the same time, it can also avoid the fate of the new spell that I finally came up with, and I will soon be left behind because I learned the new spell.
Think so.
He focused all his attention on [Gluttony].
finally.
Current Achievement Points: 0
Current talents:
【Breath Enhancement】
【strong】
[rapid growth]
【Sharp Minions】
【High Speed Healing】
[High-speed casting]
【Storm Breath】
【Gluttony】
Dream twists.
When Xi Luo woke up again, it was already morning.
This time it wasn't Alice who woke him up, but the hungry growl, waking him up by himself!
"Mr. Siro, I remember you only ate once four days ago, right? Are you hungry again? Why don't you go back and catch some food first?"
Alice had already been woken up at this time, poked her head out from the bed next to Shiloh, looked at him and said.
"Forget it this time! Tell Andre to prepare some food for me, eat it early, and go to the Internal Affairs Office to have a look, those bastards! If you dare to steal our gold coins, I will crush them to death!"
Shiloh said something.
Then let Alice get up quickly.
He was right at the door, silently watching the mixed-race man change his clothes.
Looking at her uneven body and delicate white skin, she was a little dazed.
With such a beautiful body, wouldn't it be a pity if she didn't do some Korean dances?
Hmm...Maybe I can find an opportunity to teach her in the future, and appreciate it when I'm bored?
He thought sullenly in his heart.
Waiting for her to put on her clothes and come to the restaurant together.
There was some breakfast prepared on the dining table, but for him, it wasn't enough to look at.
Alice immediately said:
"Grandpa Andre, I trouble you to prepare some more breakfast for Mr. Ciro. You should have heard that, right? Mr. Ciro is very hungry right now."
"According to Miss, how much do you need?"
"Well...at least fifteen hundred pounds. By the way, these foods don't need to be processed, they can be brought directly."
Alice paused, and said after thinking about Xi Luo's appetite.
"Fifteen hundred pounds?"
The old butler was taken aback for a moment, a little surprised, but immediately bowed and retreated.
Xi Luo immediately grabbed a pot of barbecue on the dining table and stuffed it directly into his mouth, followed by cheese, goat milk, tomatoes and other fruits.
After a while, most of it was wiped out, and it was sort of stuffed between the teeth, which made my stomach feel better a little.
Then he waited.
in the process.
He still glanced at his attribute bar:
[Strong alienated blue dragon baby dragon]
Grade: 10 "68.3" (excellent) "34.1%"
Alienated Bloodline: Thunderwater Dragon (30%), Extreme Thunder Dragon (10.3%), Storm Dragon (24.7%)
After redeeming [Gluttony], the level and template progress hardly moved.
The increase of a few tenths can be regarded as a natural increase in the past few days.
In this regard, Xi Luo has long expected, but it is not surprising.
After half an hour.
The old butler brought in a few soldiers and brought in a large piece of meat.
Xi Luo was not polite either, and stuffed them into his mouth one by one.
It was all gone in no time.
"How many pounds are these meats in total?" Xi Luo asked gently stroking his stomach.
"Although the lady said I needed 1500 pounds, I bought 200 pounds more."
The old housekeeper took a deep breath.
In my heart, I was secretly startled.
Isn't the amount of food for this dragon too big?
This meal ate 1700 pounds of meat!
1700 pounds of meat!The price per pound is about 20 copper coins even if it is wholesaled in large quantities.
A total of 3 gold and 40 silver were spent!
Miss Alice, are you sure you want to raise him like this in the future?Are you not afraid of being poor?
The old butler's heart twitched a little.
No... Wait, we don't have to prepare ground meat for him every day, some cheap meat should be fine too.
In this way, it may be reduced to about 1 gold coin.
so far so good.
The old butler's face recovered a little.
"1700 pounds... I can barely eat half to sixty percent full, it seems that my appetite has increased again.
Before 1600 pounds can almost completely fill the stomach.
Counting the time issue, the food intake for a week is probably about 2700 pounds. "
Xi Luo looked thoughtful and whispered to himself.
"2700 pounds!"
The old butler clutched his chest, unable to bear it.
The Nites clan, wouldn't they be eaten up by him, right?
"Okay, let's not talk about this, go to the Internal Affairs Office now, and finish it quickly, I am going to pick up the goods that the Temple of Wealth prepared a few days ago!"
Shiloh couldn't wait.
He took Alice, the housekeeper Andre, the paladin Andy, and his only Blue Star family member Depp to the Department of Internal Affairs.
The first thing he did was to look through the tax accounts and some expenses.
Nile City, a city with a population of [-] to [-].
The annual income is actually very good, about [-] gold coins.
Seeing so many gold coins, Xi Luo was speechless.
No wonder so many five-color dragons like to rob human cities, or become lords themselves.
Those who collect other people's taxes have a lot of gold coins!
However, it is not easy to manage a city well.
There are more than 2000 soldiers in Nile City alone.
These people need to pay more than 500 gold coins per year.
The free three meals a day cost more than 1000 gold coins.
There are also expenses for some officials and administrative staff, and the salary adds up to more than 2000.
Repairing dilapidated public places and adding new supplies cost more than 2000 a year.
This adds up to almost seven thousand five hundred.
A bunch of miscellaneous stuff, deductions.Also set aside a part of the Office of the Interior.
In the end, only seven or eight hundred gold coins can flow into the castle.
Some of the accounts made him feel outrageous at a glance.
E.g.
The salary paid to Paladin Andy is two hundred gold coins a year...
Made!That dog's annual salary is actually two hundred gold coins?
If Barbara's female dragon saw this, she would have to burst into tears.
The female dragon hangs out with the mistress of the dragon, and after so many years, she only saved four hundred gold coins.
A human paladin, casually, two hundred gold coins a year...
No wonder this dog is worth a lot of equipment.
Of course, after all, this is hiring a master. In fact, it is understandable if you think about it carefully.
But are there any more in the back? Xi Luo's eyelids twitched when he saw it.
Buy a high-end magic sword produced by a certain wealthy businessman to arm the city patrol captain and spend [-] gold coins.
Buy high-grade stone materials used by a certain rich merchant to repair the castle, and spend [-] gold coins...
The sewers in the city are clogged, and people are hired to clean it up... an accident happens... one hundred gold coins are spent.
Many things are deceitful in Xiluo's view.
He was so angry that he wished he could directly crush these dogs to death.
But considering the current shortage of manpower, he also resisted not to move his claws.
In the end, let Depp stay and supervise each other with the people in the political department.
Because Alice is now protected by the paladin Andy, Xi Luo feels more at ease.
After that, he hurriedly alone, ran to the temple of the God of Wealth.
He still has a few thousand gold coins!Need to spend it!
(End of this chapter)
When Xi Luo woke up again.
Was woken up by Alice.
He turned his head and looked out the window in a daze, it was dark.
"It's not even dawn, why did you wake me up?"
Seeing the half-breed boy who was already dressed beside him, Xi Luo couldn't help asking.
"It was Uncle Andy's people who came to invite us to the castle. They must ask us face to face about such a big thing that happened today.

Ciro saw the gloomy paladin Andy standing at the gate of the castle with a group of people.
Don't wait for the other party to speak first.

"I've confirmed it. I didn't expect that Tai Long, who is usually silent, would do such a thing. Killing brothers and sisters is like a wild beast!"

Generally, the heirs of the nobles competed for power and profit among each other. Even the final winners rarely waved the butcher's knife at the losers.

I am waiting for you here, just to let you see him for the last time.
Go...Miss Alice, go and see your father one last time. "
The paladin looked at the half-blood girl and said in a low voice.
His face was full of melancholy and helplessness.
"Father!"
Alice exclaimed in a low voice, and rushed into the castle with a sad face.
Xi Luo immediately followed quickly.
Came to the old lord's room again with Alice.
This old man was much worse than what he saw last time, as if he would die at any moment.

At the end, the man in black robe showed firmness on his face.
The figure slowly twisted and finally disappeared.
a few days later.
The old lord's funeral is over.
The ceremony of succession to the lord started non-stop.
It is presided over by the paladin Andy and the bishop Sivir of the Church of the God of Wealth, which is the main faith of the city.
On the most central high platform in the city.

Just met Andre Butler.
Xi Luo couldn't wait to say:
"Housekeeper Andre! Where is the treasury of the old lord of the previous generation? Since Alice has inherited the position of lord, she should take a good look at the property she currently owns, so that she can better plan for the future."
"Well……"
The old housekeeper couldn't help but glanced at Alice when he heard this.
"Mr. Siro is right. Go to the vault and see how much property my father left behind."
The new female lord, who was dressed in a dress and could not conceal her beauty, nodded slightly.
"Then please come with me, both of you."
The old housekeeper nodded.
With one dragon and one person, they came to a spacious basement together.
It contained a pile of silver coins, gold coins, and several weapon racks, on which were placed more than a dozen weapons and armors.
Xi Luo stepped forward, scattered the accumulated gold and silver coins, and roughly estimated them with his eyes.
About two thousand gold coins.
More than a dozen weapons are not particularly powerful equipment.
It's more like an antique with some collection value, but it's not worth much, probably more than a hundred gold coins.
A lord in charge of a city with a population of 8 to [-], with only two thousand gold coins in the treasury?
This is less than expected.
Xi Luo's eyebrows furrowed unconsciously.
Probably seeing Xi Luo's thoughts, the old housekeeper whispered at the side:
"Your Excellency, Miss Alice, you don't know anything.
For now, the taxation of the territory is collected by the tax collector, but in the future, this tax will be divided into two parts.
Some of them were sent directly to the lord's castle.
Another part will be sent to the Office of the Interior, who will distribute and distribute it to pay officials, soldiers, etc. a series of expenses. "
"Administrator and tax collector?"
Hear both posts.
Xi Luo was taken aback, thinking of the dinner that Tai Long had a few days ago, he couldn't help but ask:
"Are they dead now?"
"The internal affairs officer was lucky enough to escape, and the tax collector is dead." The old housekeeper sighed.
"This time, too many officials have died. I would like to ask Miss Alice to issue a decree early tomorrow to hire some people to replace the dead. Otherwise, there may be chaos in the city after a long time."
"I will, but many people don't understand when I take over as the lord for the first time..." the half-breed boy said worriedly.
"The Internal Affairs Officer and Paladin Andy will teach you." The old butler comforted.
Xi Luo was not in a hurry to move this sum of gold coins afterwards.
Hmm... At least it's not convenient to move in front of the old housekeeper, he and the two exited the vault together.
Then he rested with the half-breed.
Xi Luo just fell asleep.
Once again entered the mysterious sea.
[Dragon Behind the Scenes]: You become the dragon behind the scenes of one lord, the actual controller of one territory.Award 5 achievement points.
Current Achievement Points: 30
"Finally collected 30 achievement points!"
Seeing this line of dark black characters, Xi Luo took a deep breath and showed joy.
Then he couldn't help but look down.
[Gluttony]: Your food intake will be greatly increased, and when paired with [Rapid Growth], it can further enhance the growth rate of your body. (Consume 30 achievements)
[Spell Genius]: You are born with an extremely strong talent. When learning and improving spells, you have special perception and understanding. (Consume 60 achievements)
Which of these two should I exchange for?
Shiloh couldn't help thinking.
The former is redeemable now.
The latter also needs to accumulate 30 achievement points.
30 achievement points... If there is no big event or luck, it should take a long time.
In addition, these two talents are also full potential talents.
There is no improvement in real-time combat power.
【Gluttony】Looking at the comments, you will know that the sooner you exchange, the greater the benefits.
Huge physique, for ordinary creatures, can be regarded as both good and bad.
A larger physique means better strength, defensive ability, and resistance stamina, but the sensitivity will be reduced, and it is easy to become a living target.
But overall, the pros definitely outweigh the cons.
What's more, the dragon also has spells, which can shrink itself. In the face of unfavorable situations, shrinking the body can solve the problem.
[Spell Genius] is also a potential talent, but it seems to be a little different from [Gluttony].
It does not belong to the earlier exchange, the earlier benefits.
This is somewhat like those gifted students of Blue Star.
No matter how talented a person is, in a certain direction, if he wants to achieve some achievements, he also needs primitive accumulation.
Such as those world-renowned great scientists.
If they didn't study hard at an early age and didn't accumulate enough knowledge, how could they become famous all over the world?
Thinking so far.
Shilo thinks.
[Spell Genius] It seems that this talent can be redeemed after he has mastered more spell knowledge.
In that way, his understanding and research of spells should also be greatly improved.
At the same time, it can also avoid the fate of the new spell that I finally came up with, and I will soon be left behind because I learned the new spell.
Think so.
He focused all his attention on [Gluttony].
finally.
Current Achievement Points: 0
Current talents:
【Breath Enhancement】
【strong】
[rapid growth]
【Sharp Minions】
【High Speed Healing】
[High-speed casting]
【Storm Breath】
【Gluttony】
Dream twists.
When Xi Luo woke up again, it was already morning.
This time it wasn't Alice who woke him up, but the hungry growl, waking him up by himself!
"Mr. Siro, I remember you only ate once four days ago, right? Are you hungry again? Why don't you go back and catch some food first?"
Alice had already been woken up at this time, poked her head out from the bed next to Shiloh, looked at him and said.
"Forget it this time! Tell Andre to prepare some food for me, eat it early, and go to the Internal Affairs Office to have a look, those bastards! If you dare to steal our gold coins, I will crush them to death!"
Shiloh said something.
Then let Alice get up quickly.
He was right at the door, silently watching the mixed-race man change his clothes.
Looking at her uneven body and delicate white skin, she was a little dazed.
With such a beautiful body, wouldn't it be a pity if she didn't do some Korean dances?
Hmm...Maybe I can find an opportunity to teach her in the future, and appreciate it when I'm bored?
He thought sullenly in his heart.
Waiting for her to put on her clothes and come to the restaurant together.
There was some breakfast prepared on the dining table, but for him, it wasn't enough to look at.
Alice immediately said:
"Grandpa Andre, I trouble you to prepare some more breakfast for Mr. Ciro. You should have heard that, right? Mr. Ciro is very hungry right now."
"According to Miss, how much do you need?"
"Well...at least fifteen hundred pounds. By the way, these foods don't need to be processed, they can be brought directly."
Alice paused, and said after thinking about Xi Luo's appetite.
"Fifteen hundred pounds?"
The old butler was taken aback for a moment, a little surprised, but immediately bowed and retreated.
Xi Luo immediately grabbed a pot of barbecue on the dining table and stuffed it directly into his mouth, followed by cheese, goat milk, tomatoes and other fruits.
After a while, most of it was wiped out, and it was sort of stuffed between the teeth, which made my stomach feel better a little.
Then he waited.
in the process.
He still glanced at his attribute bar:
[Strong alienated blue dragon baby dragon]
Grade: 10 "68.3" (excellent) "34.1%"
Alienated Bloodline: Thunderwater Dragon (30%), Extreme Thunder Dragon (10.3%), Storm Dragon (24.7%)
After redeeming [Gluttony], the level and template progress hardly moved.
The increase of a few tenths can be regarded as a natural increase in the past few days.
In this regard, Xi Luo has long expected, but it is not surprising.
After half an hour.
The old butler brought in a few soldiers and brought in a large piece of meat.
Xi Luo was not polite either, and stuffed them into his mouth one by one.
It was all gone in no time.
"How many pounds are these meats in total?" Xi Luo asked gently stroking his stomach.
"Although the lady said I needed 1500 pounds, I bought 200 pounds more."
The old housekeeper took a deep breath.
In my heart, I was secretly startled.
Isn't the amount of food for this dragon too big?
This meal ate 1700 pounds of meat!
1700 pounds of meat!The price per pound is about 20 copper coins even if it is wholesaled in large quantities.
A total of 3 gold and 40 silver were spent!
Miss Alice, are you sure you want to raise him like this in the future?Are you not afraid of being poor?
The old butler's heart twitched a little.
No... Wait, we don't have to prepare ground meat for him every day, some cheap meat should be fine too.
In this way, it may be reduced to about 1 gold coin.
so far so good.
The old butler's face recovered a little.
"1700 pounds... I can barely eat half to sixty percent full, it seems that my appetite has increased again.
Before 1600 pounds can almost completely fill the stomach.
Counting the time issue, the food intake for a week is probably about 2700 pounds. "
Xi Luo looked thoughtful and whispered to himself.
"2700 pounds!"
The old butler clutched his chest, unable to bear it.
The Nites clan, wouldn't they be eaten up by him, right?
"Okay, let's not talk about this, go to the Internal Affairs Office now, and finish it quickly, I am going to pick up the goods that the Temple of Wealth prepared a few days ago!"
Shiloh couldn't wait.
He took Alice, the housekeeper Andre, the paladin Andy, and his only Blue Star family member Depp to the Department of Internal Affairs.
The first thing he did was to look through the tax accounts and some expenses.
Nile City, a city with a population of [-] to [-].
The annual income is actually very good, about [-] gold coins.
Seeing so many gold coins, Xi Luo was speechless.
No wonder so many five-color dragons like to rob human cities, or become lords themselves.
Those who collect other people's taxes have a lot of gold coins!
However, it is not easy to manage a city well.
There are more than 2000 soldiers in Nile City alone.
These people need to pay more than 500 gold coins per year.
The free three meals a day cost more than 1000 gold coins.
There are also expenses for some officials and administrative staff, and the salary adds up to more than 2000.
Repairing dilapidated public places and adding new supplies cost more than 2000 a year.
This adds up to almost seven thousand five hundred.
A bunch of miscellaneous stuff, deductions.Also set aside a part of the Office of the Interior.
In the end, only seven or eight hundred gold coins can flow into the castle.
Some of the accounts made him feel outrageous at a glance.
E.g.
The salary paid to Paladin Andy is two hundred gold coins a year...
Made!That dog's annual salary is actually two hundred gold coins?
If Barbara's female dragon saw this, she would have to burst into tears.
The female dragon hangs out with the mistress of the dragon, and after so many years, she only saved four hundred gold coins.
A human paladin, casually, two hundred gold coins a year...
No wonder this dog is worth a lot of equipment.
Of course, after all, this is hiring a master. In fact, it is understandable if you think about it carefully.
But are there any more in the back? Xi Luo's eyelids twitched when he saw it.
Buy a high-end magic sword produced by a certain wealthy businessman to arm the city patrol captain and spend [-] gold coins.
Buy high-grade stone materials used by a certain rich merchant to repair the castle, and spend [-] gold coins...
The sewers in the city are clogged, and people are hired to clean it up... an accident happens... one hundred gold coins are spent.
Many things are deceitful in Xiluo's view.
He was so angry that he wished he could directly crush these dogs to death.
But considering the current shortage of manpower, he also resisted not to move his claws.
In the end, let Depp stay and supervise each other with the people in the political department.
Because Alice is now protected by the paladin Andy, Xi Luo feels more at ease.
After that, he hurriedly alone, ran to the temple of the God of Wealth.
He still has a few thousand gold coins!Need to spend it!
