Black Knight From Blue Star

Chapter 252 Players are very curious

To be honest, the influx of a large number of female players into Louisian County is actually a good thing.

 Let’s not talk about the beauties, even ordinary women still have a few spare tires and are willing to lick the dog.

　　They came to Louisian County and brought a large number of licking dogs and spare tires.

 Then because there were so many players here, it seemed lively and attracted a large number of business teams.

 The arrival of the business team further increased the prosperity of Louisian County, and then attracted more people.

 A perfect positive cycle.

In just less than half a year, Luisian made a name for himself among players with his infrastructure project, and then used the "hidden profession" to hype up the game, making it even more popular.

 Now Louisian County has a permanent population of nearly 100,000.

 Although most of them are players.

 This is only a short period of half a year.

 Hardy was sitting in his study, looking at the tax officer's report, quite speechless.

 “These undead people are really interesting.”

Sophie smiled and said, "Isn't it good to make you so much money?"

 “Very good.” Hardy also laughed.

 Due to the high cost of infrastructure construction, he spent nearly a thousand gold coins in half a year.

 But in the past three months, Lewis County’s taxes have increased at an exaggerated rate.

  In three months, a total of more than 1,200 gold coins were collected in taxes.

 Having made my money back, I even made a small profit.

I have to say that players are too rich and very willing to spend money.

 At present, the city of Ruisian has only been built in prototype, and many municipal functions have not been really started.

If I have to say it, it is the opening of an entertainment street!

 Eating, drinking and having fun are all available.

 Especially playing... In this world, it is impossible to avoid the ancient occupation of nightingale.

 So Hardy simply legalized it and required all nightingale shop owners to take nightingales to the Temple of Light for an exorcism every ten days.

Those curious male players often go there and want to know whether this game is realistic or not!

 The highest taxes are also those in the Nightingale stores.

 In total, they contributed a little more than one-third of the tax revenue.

 At present, there are only 100,000 players here. If the permanent population reaches more than 200,000, Hadi believes that his financial resources can become as rich as the country within five years.

 Having money, Hardy had an idea.

 He built himself a very luxurious magic laboratory.

All kinds of expensive magic tools, all kinds of magic materials, almost everything you need.

 They are all acquired from players by Hardy using "missions".

 Hardy can get materials quickly, and players can get experience and coins, a win-win situation!

Although Sophie is a succubus, she does not pester Hadi every day like in the legend.

 She also has a career and pursuits.

 Hardy spends most of his time in the magic laboratory.

He can almost recite the alchemical notes that Patience gave him.

 He already knows the theoretical content, and the rest is practice.

 He started to carry out alchemical synthesis with full confidence, but... he failed five times in a row in one day!

 The lost magic materials are equivalent to twenty-one gold coins.

 Looking at the calculated price, Hardy felt a headache.

No wonder Peixingsi complains about being poor every day and wants to invest. It turns out this is what happened. No wonder... ordinary magicians stop learning new magic after learning a few practical basic magics.

 Just exercise your mental strength.

 You can’t learn how to be brave.

Hardy packed up the magic laboratory and had a good rest for a day before going to conduct alchemy experiments again.

After losing eleven gold coins of magic materials, Hardy finally carved an alchemy circle on the surface of the steel.

If it can be engraved on steel, it can naturally be engraved on the thick armor of the Nightmare Knight.

 Alchemy has opened a crack in the door for him.

 The next step is to consider how to 'divide' the Nightmare Knight's body.

According to E.P.R's theory, the Nightmare Knight itself is made of magical energy, so it can naturally be cut into pieces.

As long as the souls and consciousnesses on each block are still connected, the nightmare knights who are divided into blocks will not be injured.

After dividing the Nightmare Knight into blocks, people can carve magic circles on each block to achieve the purpose of integrating various abilities.

 How to divide it into chunks?

There is also an inference in E.P.R's book that it requires spiritual magical assistance.

 Spiritual magic is not Hardy's strong point.

The elves are better at this, and natural magic requires sincerity and spirituality.

Hardy then thought of Philaire.

Oddly enough, Hardy hasn't seen Philaire for several months, and he doesn't know how she's been doing outside recently.

Hadi was drinking precious purple leaf tea while thinking about how to find Philaire.

While he was thinking about the method, the guard came to report: "Your Excellency Hardy, there are envoys from the north asking to see you."

Hadi was stunned for a moment and said, "Invite him in."

　　When the two countries are at war, they will not kill the envoys. This is the tacit understanding between all the countries in the Aroba region.

Soon a middle-aged man with a beard walked in from outside. He saluted first and then said: "Sir Hardy, I have brought you a confidential letter from the great elder of our northern sect. Please read it in a place where no one is around. Thank you. ”

 Hardy took the letter and found that it was sealed with gold paint. If someone had opened it, the gold paint must have broken.

  It is a simple but practical means of anti-tampering.

Hadi opened the envelope, took out the elven bamboo paper filled with words, and quickly read the letter.

Then he shook his head and said: "This is absolutely impossible. Please go back and convey my words to your great elder."

"The Great Elder has long guessed that Your Excellency will have this idea." The messenger waved his hand and said with a smile: "So we can also do what the Southerners do."

Hardy still shook his head,

It would be nice to have an extra piece of territory, but if he really agrees to the terms of the northern elder, then Hardy will only have one way left to go.

 Being used as a dog to others will bring disrepute into disrepute.

“Your Excellency, in the words of the elves, those who know the current affairs are distinguished! The climate in the south is over.”

"No, I think the north is about to be unable to hold on." Hadi smiled: "After all, your economy is very, very bad, and the people's labor is very hard, and you will soon have no money to support the army."

"Your Excellency, you underestimate us." Seeing that Hadi was unwilling to agree to their chief elder's solicitation, the northern emissary had no choice but to give up and leave.

At this time, Sophie came in from the outside, picked up the letter on the table, and exclaimed: "Wow, they want to let you conquer these important cities with nothing, and then they will give you some gold coins. This can also be done It’s conceivable that the top leaders of the northern faction are not very good either.”

"Actually, they are trying to alienate each other!" Hardy hugged Sophie and said softly: "The northern emissary will go to Andrew Spencer of Kaldor next."

“Do you want my troops to move?” Sophie leaned back, her face half painful and half happy, and said, “It’s time to give those girls a chance to fight.”
