Lord of Hyranza

Suldak opened the door first and walked in, and saw two beautiful female receptionists in the hall, one was a young girl dressed as a rebel army on the dry cloth plane, she was wearing simple fabrics, vines and leather, The mixed and matched rainforest outfit, the exposed skin has a natural wheat color, and the eyes have a kind of wildness from the jungle. At a glance, you can tell that they are the southern natives of the dry cloth plane, and they have a lot of personality.

The other one is more special, standing under a water waterfall, and only people who come to the door will get out of the water waterfall.

It was a beautiful Janna, the lower body still kept the fishtail covered with scales, the mermaid line and belly button were exposed, and the bear had two scallop shells attached to it, which looked heavy, much more predictable than Siya. Walking out of the waterfall, with wet hair, he smiled decently towards the door.

Siya, who followed Suldak, came out, and the two girls were obviously relieved.

"How's business today?" Xi Ya asked the two female receptionists.

The Janna mermaid said in a slightly convoluted Imperial language: "I just sent away two waves. Recently, the trip to the Sai Ruoman Plateau is quite popular. Boss...you have to consider raising the price."

"Let's do this for now!" Xi Ya said casually.

Xi Ya did not introduce the identity of Surdak, but took out two picture albums and introduced to him the tourism projects of the tourism commune in detail. In fact, the tourism commune of Xi Ya currently only has two tourist routes, one is going north via Mukuso , Arrive at Bellanoma Lake on the Sai Ruoman Plateau, and follow the Norma Glacier to see the upstream waterfall. The other one is from Mukuso City, passing through the town of Hatangada, the ruins of Takale, and arriving in Bansko Town to visit the land of collapse, along the river on the edge of Black Crow Ridge in the rainforest, take a boat to the canyon town.

From the perspective of Surdak, these two tourist routes are obviously more interesting than the second route, but because there is a group of Janna mermaids in Lake Noma, most tourists will choose to go to the Noma River to see the snow-capped mountains and waterfalls ...

"How many tour groups can you have in a week?" Surdak asked Siya.

Xi Ya replied: "There are one or two almost every day. There are about ten people in a tour group, which can just fill a magic caravan. If there are too many people, they will be more picky. Such a small group is just right. In fact, Many young adventure groups will also choose our tour group."

While chatting, a group of young people unexpectedly opened the door and walked in...

Chapter 1342 Ruyt City

After these young people walked into the tourist commune, they went straight to the front desk. They were wearing light leather armor, some accessories were hung on the weapons around their waists, and exquisite gold and silver ornaments were worn on their wrists. There was a sense of lightness in their steps. .

Suldak couldn't help but take a second look at the two beautiful girls.

In fact, he was not attracted by the beauty of young girls. In terms of the beauty of their faces, few girls can compare with Sia and Samira. elf.

Suldak only saw the shadows of Hathaway and Beatrice from them. It seemed that they had just walked out of the Swordsman Academy and faced the outside world with freshness, curiosity, and a little arrogance. , the young men next to them took good care of them.

Among them, the most shrewd and capable young swordsman asked the waitress in front of the bar:

"Hello, if we want to go to the Noma River to see the waterfall, how much does each person need to pay?"

The body of the mermaid girl from the Jana tribe was covered with wet water droplets, which kept dripping down... The charm of the alien race was infinitely magnified on her body.

She introduced in a strange imperial language: "If you don't need any additional items, each person only needs three gold coins, and the travel period will be about three weeks. We will arrange professional tour guides to provide you with professional services throughout the journey. These three gold coins include the two gold coins that need to be paid for crossing the portal, and the other gold coin will cover your three simple meals a day, the cost of the magic caravan, and the cost of accommodation along the way. Stay in the most comfortable hotels in every town."

"Of course, if you want to eat something different along the way, you can choose to go out and find something to eat in an eye-catching restaurant, or you can choose our luxurious catering service, which will definitely let you experience the flavors of every town along the way. Delicious food."

"If you have any ideas about a hotel with four people in one room, you can also choose luxury accommodation service, and you can live in one room for one person throughout the whole process..."

"If you all want to enjoy the sunset on the prairie with those mermaid ladies after arriving at Lake Noma, this part of the fee will be added."

It can be seen that she has said these words many times, and can even recite them fluently with her eyes closed.

At this time, Xi Ya was not in the hall, she had just walked up to the second floor to handle some official business.

Suldak was alone on the sofa in the lounge area of ​​the lobby, with a cup of black tea on the table in front of him. He was also listening to the introduction of the mermaid lady of the Jana tribe. He didn't expect that the travel agency of Xiya and the others was so cheap For a trip across planes, ordinary people would need to spend at least two gold coins to pass through that portal.

The remaining one gold coin has to bear 21 days of living expenses and travel expenses. It is hard to imagine where the profit point of this tourism commune is... Is it also a compulsory consumption?

Suldak thought about it, and planned to mention it to Xiya later. If this kind of thing is done too much, it may have a certain impact on local tourism.

Just when he lowered his head to think about something, a gentle voice suddenly came from beside him: "Mr. Knight, are you also going to travel to Ganbu? If it is to visit Lake Noma, we just happen to go along the way..."

"...No, I chose another route. I want to try my luck in the land of collapse." Suldak raised his head, nodded slightly to the sweet-looking young female swordsman, and said casually.

The young female swordsman showed a regretful expression, and stepped back lightly. Her big white legs exposed under the leather armor moved like a light deer.

It's just that when she walked back to her companion, her voice became less gentle immediately, and she covered her face with her hands to ease her embarrassment, and said with some complaints:

"Gakitru, why don't we go to the canyon town to see those strange houses on the rock wall?"

The shrewd and capable male swordsman said gently: "Didn't everyone discuss last night that we will go to Lake Noma to watch Miss Mermaid's water dance performance..."

Someone on the side immediately echoed: "Please, let's stop arguing about this."

Another young man took the opportunity to say: "Actually, I think the most worthwhile place to visit in Ganbu plane is neither the canyon town nor Noma Lake, but Mukuso on the other side of the portal. The streets there are full of fresh elements now.”

"It's not easy to go to Mukuso, as long as we line up, we can step through that gate." The young swordsman named Gakitru said casually.

Although their chatting voice was very low, it still couldn't escape Suldak's ears.

A group of young people paid the deposit quickly, and that Gakitruu actually took out three magic crystals.

When they reached the gate of the tourist commune, the sweet-looking girl suddenly turned around, strode towards Suldak, and said softly:

"Mr. Knight, can I have lunch with you? I know there is a restaurant not too far from this that has a very good barbecue."

Suldak was thinking about how to reject this group of young people from other places, when he saw Xiya stepping down from upstairs. She was gently holding a long skirt with shark pattern in one hand, with light makeup painted on her face, showing a trace of A suppressive smile before saying:

"Sorry, he has promised me... to have lunch with me."

The young female swordsman looked at Siya, then at Suldak, with a hint of indignation towards Siya and a little disappointment on her face, she pouted and turned away without saying a word.

Xi Ya sat next to Surdak gracefully, and teased him: "I didn't expect you to be quite popular with little girls..."

……

When Suldak and Xiya left the tourist commune, they saw several young people walking in together. They were also dressed as members of an adventure group, and they were also talking about traveling to the Ganbu plane. Prepare some daily necessities here in Techeng. Many commodities here are very cheap.

Suldak opened the window and waited until the carriage drove away from the street and merged into the traffic on the street, then he smiled and asked Sia:

"Do you provide any free services to young members of the adventure group... How come so many members of the adventure group come to you?"

Xi Ya squinted her big blue eyes, stared at Surdak suspiciously for a while, and then explained: "I will teach them how to save money and enjoy better services when living outside, whether it is Whether you choose a restaurant or a hotel, there is a lot of learning involved.”

"That's all?" Suldak was a little disbelieving.

Xi Ya patted her chest and assured: "Well, that's all! It's very simple, isn't it? Many people choose the simpler way when they travel because they are afraid of trouble. After all, three gold coins are beneficial to many rich people. It's nothing at all."

"Didn't you drag the guests into a cabin and not allow them to come out unless they paid for some stones?" Suldak asked tentatively.

"Why do you have such evil thoughts?" Xi Ya glanced at Suldak with disdain.

Suldak said: "I just feel that the cost of three gold coins is not enough for them to complete the three-week journey to the plane."

The topic went back to how to save money. She seemed to have a lot of experience with this Siya. She pinched her white-eyed fingers like suet jade, and carefully calculated to Suldak: "Actually, saving money is still possible. The tour group When passing through the portal, we only pay the toll tax according to a passenger magic caravan. In fact, only five gold coins are needed. In addition, every hotel and restaurant in the small town has a negotiated price. The magic caravan is our own, and a coachman You only need to pay [-] silver coins a month with a guide, which is the highest commission standard in the industry in Ruyt City, so there is still money to be made, but the profit is small, but you also said that when we dry the cloth plane The fame has been established, and more people are willing to come here to play in the future, and more and more profit points will be made. What we need to do now is to accumulate word of mouth..."

"What's more, those who are willing to participate in this kind of tour group always hope to live better and eat better." Speaking of this, Siya sneered like a cunning fox again.

Suldak thought about the tourism industry that the Ganbu Plane was about to develop, and said: "Yes, in the future, the Ganbu Plane will establish a reputation for tourism. The streets are clean and tidy, and the hotels and restaurants... even street food To have some features, we need to make great efforts to build some public facilities, at least to make the road level..."

The magic caravan left the central square. There are a lot of vehicles on the streets of Ruyt City, half of which are trucks carrying various supplies. When these trucks pass through the portal, they still enjoy the subsidies from Mucuso City. , that is, the toll tax can be deducted from the commercial tax of Mukuso City.

The central square is very lively, and there are many people busy here.

It is rare to see those idle homeless people on the streets. It is said that these homeless people are currently under the unified management of the City Sanitation Bureau. As long as they can still work, they have to come out every morning to sweep the road and take out the garbage.

There are no street children to be seen on the street. According to Suldak's request, all these children will be rescued by Ruyt City, and they will work for this city when they become adults, or they will simply be transferred to the small town of Ganbu Plane Li is a civil servant until he pays off all the debts he owes before he can regain his freedom.

So the public benches on the streets of this city are not beds for homeless people, the trash cans in the alleys behind restaurants are not dining tables for homeless children, and the bridges are not temporary shelters for homeless old people.

Although these systems have been implemented, and Suldak will mobilize a large amount of expenditure on this every month, there is no detailed research on the specific effects.

In any case, at least it was hard to see those homeless people on the street.

The magic caravan has come to the catering plaza, and today the catering plaza has been fully completed. The entire food plaza has public drinking water facilities, toilets, and public dining areas. Rows of shops can’t wait to put their kitchens outside. The smell of barbecue and seafood flooded the entire street.

The entire dining area was crowded with diners, and the bustling crowd gathered into a stream of people pouring into the eating plaza, which seemed to be the most prosperous place in Ruyt City.

Suldak and Siya did not follow the crowd into the dining plaza. They sat in the magic caravan and looked at the bustling scene through the window. It was just a magic caravan standing still on the side of the street. It caught the attention of the guard battalion patrolling knights.

Xi Ya asked enviously, "How do you know this place will become more and more lively?"

"Although this is a slum area, it is located near the gate of Ruyt City. It has natural geographical advantages. This is the first place that foreign businessmen will see when they enter Ruyt City. And when it comes to catering, many restaurants require Gathering together has a competitive advantage, because when many people want to eat something good, they actually don’t know what they want to eat at all, and it’s always good to have more choices, so there is such a dining plaza.” Suldak said slowly.

"There is another group of consumers here, that is, some foreign businessmen. Look at that group of people. They have just arrived in Ruyt City, and they are newcomers. Naturally, they will choose to eat in crowded places, because crowded restaurants, The taste must not be too bad."

"Since these restaurants are open to the public and not dedicated to serving nobles, of course they should be built in places with the largest passenger flow."

Looking at the bustling market, Suldak couldn't remember how the steel workshop was full of chimneys.

"This has become the busiest place in Ruyt City at night..." Xi Ya continued to sigh.

Two guard battalion knights on steeds walked over slowly and stopped beside the magic caravan.

Suldak's magic caravan does not have any noble insignia, and it looks only a little more luxurious than the magic caravans that can be hired on the street. Hurry up gesture.

Another knight from the guard battalion said to the coachman with a serious face: "There is so much traffic here, why do you still park here? Do you recognize the sign of the no-parking area in front of you? Leave quickly, or you will be fined... ..."

The coachman was slightly startled, and just about to reveal his identity, the front window of the rear compartment was pushed open by Suldak, and Suldak said to the two knights: "Let's go here... ..."

Hearing the words of the consul of Suldak, the coachman looked at the two guard battalion knights speechlessly, raised his whip and tapped it on the buttocks of the horses.

The magic caravan began to move forward slowly, and then mixed into the crowded traffic.

"Hey! There are guard battalion knights who don't know you..." Xi Ya sat in the carriage and smiled.

"What's so strange about this? You can't expect everyone in the [-] guard battalion knights to know me. Besides, even if they know me, there's nothing wrong with enforcing the law like this. I have to abide by these rules!"

Suldak replied in a good mood, leaning on the leather sofa in the carriage.

Chapter 1343 Golden Whistle

The magic caravan stopped at the south gate of Ruyt City, and Suldak opened the door first and jumped out of the car.

Looking up at the tall city gate, there are six magic bed crossbows placed side by side on the huge arrow tower at the top, but these magic weapons are covered by thatch and are tied with black chains around them. Below the city wall are some warehouses for military supplies. Although the entire city wall It has been well repaired, and many broken places have been filled with pozzolanic cement, and the craftsmen have retained the original wall joints.

The hanging garden at the gate of the city has almost been built. Stone pillars more than 20 meters high rise from the city wall, dragging huge arched stone beams, and these stone beams form a huge aerial corridor above the city wall.

Those dense construction wooden frames have been removed one after another, revealing the entire city gate. At the top of the city gate is a beautiful sky garden.

When many businessmen from other places came to Ruyt City for the first time, they would be attracted by the magnificent buildings above the city gate.

The passage at the gate of the city was full of traffic, and a large number of four-wheeled carriages carrying supplies entered the city of Ruyt from outside. Surdak saw that these four-wheeled carriages were not only loaded with food, but also some meat and dry goods. , Cloth, ironware, the items are very mixed, it can be seen that they are all transported to the dry cloth plane.

"Where are so many supplies shipped every day?" Surdak didn't think the residents of the Ganbu plane had such a high spending power.

"Well, the Ganbu plane won the war against the low-level demons. Many lords of Tarapagan will secretly go to Mukusuo City. It is said that they want to learn some details of the battle in the city. God, they will also encounter similar situations." Xi Ya said as usual.

"The first was the lords, and then there were some knights and adventure groups who wanted to enter Ganbu and visit some famous war sites. In fact, our travel agency also has such tourism projects. The war sites along the way are all our tours. Attractions, otherwise why do you think there is an adventure group willing to come to us."

"Now the resident population of Mukusuo is less than 50, and the floating population is nearly 30. Even the townhouses in the outer city are almost full of residents. In addition, your outer city wall is constantly being repaired. It has been so long, and it has not been repaired, and I heard that many citizens are complaining about it."

"You may not know it yet, just because Mucuso City implements a subsidy for transmission tolls, and after the road leading to the town of Hammond is opened, supplies are sent to Mucuso City from the small towns around Mucuso City , far less costly than transporting materials from the southern area of ​​Tarapakan around Ruyt City, so many merchants will buy materials from Tanan and send them to Mukuso.”

"At least half of the daily necessities of 80 citizens will be transported from Ruyt City, so there are so many trucks in the city now."

Hearing Siya's words, Suldak patted his forehead. Originally, the meaning of the existence of these planes was to import resources into the Grimm Empire and maintain the prosperity of the Grimm Empire. Once the resources of these sub-planes were exhausted, the lord They abandoned.Unexpectedly, the current Ganbu plane is doing the opposite, and is currently absorbing various resources from Tanan to feed itself.

However, it is precisely this kind of business model that allowed Ruyte City and Mucuso City to return to their previous appearance in just two years, even more prosperous than before.

Now there are many business houses in the two cities, and the whole city can feel the vitality.

Suldak climbed up the city wall along the narrow steps. There is no vertical lift in the hanging garden. In order to climb the hanging garden, in addition to using the steps of the city wall, he has to climb six floors. Tall simple wooden ladder.

At present, the construction section at the gate of the city has been basically completed, and the sky garden has taken on the appearance it should have.

In the early spring, many green plants have been transplanted to the beams of the arch bridge. In the Suerdak plan, the columns and the construction bridge will be covered with ivy, and the upper corridor needs to be planted with two rows of tall hibiscus trees. A sky garden will surround half of Ruyt city.

Now that the part that has been repaired has revealed the tip of the iceberg, the citizens know that Suldak has such a big hand, and in order to collect money to build the sky garden, he still launched a plane war.

Last autumn, there were still countless people who criticized this matter, but with the victory of the Plane War, all these opposing voices were washed away by the tidal wave of cheers after the victory.

It was only this spring that many people in Ruyter began to seriously observe the building under construction.

"It's really grand..." Siya, who was halfway up, knocked on her legs and complained.

For a Jana Sea Clan, asking them to climb stairs with their phantom legs is definitely a cruel thing to do.

Suldak stopped, hovered on the slow wooden steps, and said to Sia:

"In my design blueprint, this sky garden has more than just one floor, but this battle of the Bailin plane can at most build up the floor in front of me."

Xi Ya asked in surprise: "...How many layers should it have in your plan?"

"Fourth floor." Surdak replied.

Baron Martineau walked down the wooden stairs from above, and said with a serious face: "If it is built higher, the bottom stone pillar will not be able to bear the weight of the top..."

Suldak did not answer, but pointed to the eighteen marble-covered columns that had already been built in front of him, and praised:

"Martino, you have built this garden very well, which has exceeded my expectations, especially the reliefs on the pillars are exquisite."

Baron Martino said nonchalantly: "You can continuously deliver volcanic ash cement from the barren land. I'm just in charge of supervising the construction. It's not difficult. As for those reliefs, they are just carved by stonemasons on stone slabs. Then stick these relief slabs to the columns with pozzolan cement."

He is a stubborn person, and he is a very thoughtful architect. Once he decides on one thing, he must argue whether it is right or wrong.

"But what you said just now is that you want to continue to build this hanging garden upwards. I don't agree with this!" Martino said to Suldak again: "These pillars are only so thick. You want to continue to build up the building blocks. Next We need to add new load-bearing columns..."
