Lord of terror

Kunz nodded. He really revealed it on purpose: "Upgrade well." In the future, the two parties will indeed communicate, but it will only be limited to a few high-end players. The guy talking nonsense in front of the natives.

[Actually, we can still afford part of the government’s work. Please don’t get me wrong. We don’t mean to seize power, but it’s good for us to establish Monroe Fei faster and better. ]

"The one in charge of Geji Geji?"

[Yes.And it's not impossible to communicate, some of us have mastered the writing of common words and they can communicate with your warriors. ] It is better to bring this matter up as soon as possible. If Kunz finds out by himself, it will be very embarrassing for both parties.

"You can get the information you want from the soldiers, but I also want a copy of what you collect." Kunz's reaction was still very fast.

[make a deal. ]

"Wait, don't leave yet." Kunz stopped Wan, "Moria."

"At your command, my lord." He came out from the shadows around the corner.

"What can we sell here? The kind that can attract businessmen."

Moria's answer was extremely straightforward: "No. Although the surrounding trees are lush and there are abundant beast resources, several cities in the Duchy of Huerta have similar resource types to ours, and are more prosperous and safer than ours. Many. Or do you want to sell the cook?"

"No, I don't want to."

[The prospecting team just set off the day before yesterday, and there are no results yet. ] Just in case, the prospecting team organized by the players hasn't set off yet.This refers to the official prospecting team.

"In the final analysis, it is population and construction...made out of paper?"

[Yes. ]

"Moria, do you see the paper?"

[Sorry, I haven't seen it yet. ]

"Or do you bother to read it?" Kunz waved his hand, signaling Moria to stop talking, "Go and see with Mr. Wandian, and come back to me with a few pieces of paper after reading."

In case he just said that his staff has mastered the writing of commonly used words, Kunz will know that the paper has been successfully produced, otherwise how can he communicate with the knights in words and write on the ground?Those proud guys wouldn't look down at the ground, or even kick Gejigeji away, but now it's different on paper.

The papermaking industry has been tossing around for a while, but papermaking is simple, and kindergarten children can play it. That is under the condition that the acquisition of various raw materials in modern society is also very simple. Monroe is not only an industry, but agriculture is still slash-and-burn in primitive society. stage, it will not be so easy.

When Kunz finished eating the buns, Moria finally came back, holding some papers in his hand.Sure enough, the paper was yellow, but it was very thin and smooth, with a faint fragrance of grass and trees.

As for Moria, his face was still bloodless and pale, but his eyes were bright, and he couldn't tell whether it was greed or longing.

Kunz stood up holding the paper: "I'm going to find the captain."

Moria's lips moved, but she didn't say anything after all.

The volume of the captain's hair can make many people envy and hate, right?Kunz boldly approached the window. When he was still one step away from the window, the captain turned his head. The long bangs that originally covered his eyes were now longer, and the shortest ones went past his nose. Now they covered his entire face. They are all covered up, only when he eats every day, he will part his long hair to reveal his mouth.But even so, the captain was still elegant when eating.

Kunz thought about what was there, and handed over the paper in his hand.

"?" The captain touched the paper and smelled it, "Did you discover a new monster?"

The captain spoke softly and sounded elegant and polite, but in fact he was indifferent to everything. As expected, he also had a little interest in paper.

"Made of wood."

"..." Although the captain's face could not be seen, his movements obviously froze.

"I want slaves, at least 3000, all of whom must be strong men and women or middle-aged men with skills, including at least a hundred who can write." After finishing speaking, Kunz turned around and left without even waiting for the captain. answer.

"It's really courageous." The captain tilted his head, a few strands of hair slipped, revealing his golden-green eyes.

Moria came out of the shadows at Kunz's closed door: "Master!" He was indeed very excited.

What paper represents is self-evident.This is wealth, knowledge, and power and status.

"If you want to go back, go back." The captain handed the paper to Moria.

"You...you can..."

"I can't, you know."

Moria pursed his lips, his voice even trembling: "You have more choices, Your Majesty will..."

Moria flew out and hit the wall. When he slid off the wall, he could only vaguely see the aurora-like color from where he was standing just now.Moria was not only knocked into the air, his clothes on his chest were torn, and two bloodstains appeared.

"It's impossible for anyone. I'm in my own hands. If you want to go back, you can go back, as long as you get five thousand slaves. Get lost."

From the beginning to the end, the captain's voice was steady, even if Moria was shot, even the last "roll".

Moria got up, he covered his wound and saluted to prevent his blood from staining the lambskin carpet, and disappeared into the shadows with the shredded paper.

The captain rubbed his temples and leaned against the window sill again.

"I made a deal with your papermaking skills, I'm sorry I didn't tell you in advance."

Although Wandian took Moria to the paper-making workshop, showed him the paper-making process, and gave him the paper, it meant that Wandian had reached a consensus with Kunz, but just took this matter as a matter of course. Yes, that's also impossible.

Wan Dian smiled, did not refuse, and was not polite, and accepted Kunz's apology [What did you exchange for papermaking? ]

"Slaves. I need people who absolutely obey my orders." Actually, there are many talents in the castle now, but even if the ceremony is held, Kunz dare not really use them. Keepers of the Light, even their followers, those warriors, Kunz Kunz tried not to communicate with them as much as possible. She feared that he was very vengeful. Kunz remembered how those people treated him before the ceremony.Even if he didn't hold grudges, Kunz didn't think that the ceremony really made them worship.

However, the most disgusting ones are those craftsmen. The serious craftsmen live in his castle, but except for the occasional delivery of some Mo Re Ya Command Order items, the rest of the time it is like hiding from an infectious disease. kuntz.

Even if the apprentices of those craftsmen were willing to come out to work for him through Moria, they were all very airy.It is only natural for them to ask for the modification of those workshops for their own work, but after the renovation, they are still like uncles. They not only push back and delay the work when players go to buy goods.Up to now, the players don't have any newly-made weapons, and the fast-developing Flying Cloud Sea they still use the tattered weapons that Kunz rented out to them.

In addition, the player asked the blacksmith to make an iron plow, but it has also remained unchanged until now.

Kunz thought they had some difficulties, so he asked them. As a result, those people smiled all over their faces and said meaningless compliments, and the contempt for Kunz in their eyes almost overflowed.

Moria apologized to him afterwards, but also said that those were the only apprentices willing to work for him, in short, they couldn't be changed.

The word slave still makes Wan a little uncomfortable, but the national conditions are different, Wan will naturally not speak the words of the Virgin Mary, and judging from the current situation of Monroe, Kunz made the right choice. Neng nodded silently.

"Do you have craftsmen under your command?" Kunz asked in case, "Do you want to rent a shop?"

This is today's dinner. After a few days of cooperation, Kunz and the official have established the initial trust and can go further.

[How much is the rent? ]

"This year, each shop will receive fifty low-level enchanted crystals per month."

[35. ]

Kunz shook his head: "Fifty, if it is rented to other Gejigeji, it will be one hundred."

[…This year means from September to December? ]

"From September this year to September next year."

[make a deal.Blacksmith's shop, tailor's shop, cobbler's shop, carpenter's shop, whatever you have now, give us a copy.In addition, I have to build more shops. ]

"As long as you want, you can build it. There are some scraps of iron in the castle, do you want to buy them?" This is not selling junk, Kunz refers to the completely destroyed weapons and equipment, and those helmets, the player's head is big, Or the head shape is weird, and they can't wear the helmets of normal people.Small short legs, small short arms, part of the hand armor and leg armor can only be given up.

It just so happens that the prospecting team has not yet harvested. Wood and leather are easy to talk about, but there is too little metal.

[how to sell? ]

"Forge me a sword and a leather vest."

[it is good. ]

[Time-limited construction tasks are released, players of life professions, the construction of Monroe Fei continues, the lord needs a new blacksmith shop, carpenter shop, cobbler shop, cast iron workshop, wood workshop, tanning workshop, textile workshop, tailor shop, flax plantation garden……】

Brick-moving life players quickly got special missions. This kind of missions are all quick and slow. As a result, many people only heard the complete system prompt and read the full mission content after receiving it.

[Why?Why build a blacksmith shop again? ][Those NPCs are not satisfied again? ][Are the NPCs from the castle responsible for those behind? ]

The old players suddenly complained, and the life players who just came in didn’t know why—most of these players passed the “building bricks” assessment. Manage and build games, and play with flowers.

[Boss, what's going on? ][The most annoying Party A. ][Colorful black. ]

But the missions are accepted, this game currently does not have the option to refuse missions, and you will be punished if you leave them alone.It is not easy to move bricks in life occupations, and players can only build houses.

The announcement was the same for everyone, but the missions they received were still different. No one arrived at their mission location according to the mission guidance. As a result, the players waiting there were also players.

Mu Qingyun is one of the new players. Playing games has always been in the construction mode, and his favorite is "My X World". He has posted countless construction videos on Xiaopozhan, and he is a giant-like character.He went straight to the brick-moving construction site when he came in. In reality, brick-moving people are really not too cool, but this game can only synthesize various building materials now, not tools and furniture, which is really a pity.

[You are the players who picked up the wood workshop, right?Thanks for your hard work. ]

The phantom of the lumber workshop appeared at the place where the other party was standing. The structure of the building was very simple. After all, it was a place for rough processing of wood. Although it occupied a large area, it was basically reserved for wood storage.

[I want to ask, are you renting the shop, or working for the lord? ] The old player in the team asked.

[The store is rented. ] The player who is the shopkeeper did not hide it either.

[Fuck!This is the shop? ][Dude, how much is the rent? ][How do you open a wood shop?Anyway, come to an alchemy potion point. ][Now there is a fart alchemy potion. ]

[One hundred crystals a month. ]

[It's so expensive...] [Can't afford it, can't afford it. ][Is there a rich woman?I don't want to struggle anymore! ]

[Boss, I want to ask, how did you get the blueprint?magic? ] Mu Qingyun is also envious of opening a shop, but he is very clear that he is currently a poor class, and besides that, there are other things that interest him more.

[Draw the blueprint, and after confirmation by the lord, the frame of the blueprint will appear at the desired location. ]

[Then what if I just find a place to build it? ]

[I don't know about this, because I haven't done it before, I can only say, it's better not to do it. ]

[Thanks for the reminder, I just asked. ]

The other party nodded [I'm also curious, how did you get this color? ]

The basic image of the male player is transparent, but the transparent person can still see the outline clearly standing there.Mu Qingyun's transparency is so completely weird, if it wasn't for the name on his head and the hemp rope and sack on his body, he wouldn't be able to tell that there was a person, not to mention the outline of the body, he didn't even have facial features.

The owner of the lumber workshop was actually amazed by Mu Qingyun when he saw him—this is the real camouflage pattern for stealth!

[When pinching people, select the basic type, the special effect option of the skin, cancel the stroke, pull the transparency to the highest, and pull the reflection to the lowest, and that’s it. ]

[Thanks! ] The owner of the workshop would like to express his sincere thanks.

The conversation between Kunz and Wandian is not over yet, and the two are studying the issue of transportation.Don't worry about the transportation, someone will send it in for them, but Meng Luofei will go out in the future.

It is a pity that Monroe does not have geographical advantages to a certain extent like the territories of the protagonists in those infrastructure novels that Kunz has seen in the past.

Monroe is located inland, not close to any major river as a hub, and there are no famous commercial cities around it. The largest is Tarian City in the Duchy of Wenerta, but that place is also a rural city, a poor country, and a city. The total population is only about [-], and even a larger town of Flower Planter would have more than this population.

Monroe is not a no-management zone. It is surrounded by a border area, but the farthest neighboring country is separated from here by the Santofia Forest Sea, the Span Rita Mountains, and the Bloody Skull Sand Sea. It is said that thousands of years ago, It is true that this place borders certain countries, which is why Monroe has such an ancient castle, but now...there is really nothing left in this place.

It would take more than a month and almost two months for Beier Dong to come here with his people on horseback. If he was a merchant with goods, he would have to go in a lifetime.The original owner didn't even have a trace of the merchant in his memory. Only around October every year, the former baron would bring two knights and some guards to go to Tarian City to pay taxes on a grain cart.

Of course, Tarian City is not eligible to collect taxes from Baron Meng Luofei. The duke has a higher title than the baron, but he is not the baron’s boss. It’s just that the tax collector sent by the emperor is in Tarian City and refuses to enter the backcountry of Mon Luofei. .

In short, all of this once again confirms one thing - the Barony of Monrofi really has no advantage other than being a little larger than other baronies.

In such a broken place, how can you ship things out, sell them, and then attract other merchants, and even attract immigrants?

Kunz was so sad that he wanted to cry, but he didn't hide anything. He told Wan Luofei all the situation, and wanted to hear his opinion.

[There is a saying in my country that 'the smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley', but I have to admit that there is no wind here, and it is just a pool of stagnant water. ] In case he was not polite at all, Kunz’s narration made him sigh. If it is poverty alleviation, it is definitely the most difficult area. There is state support for poverty alleviation, and Monroe really has nothing.

To make matters worse, there is such a behemoth as the Duke of Huerta next to them. Once Meng Luofei develops, no, there is no need to develop, as long as it has just shown some sweetness.So, is Duke Huerta joining in very enthusiastically and kindly, or is he greedy and immediately wants to pounce on him to suck blood?

[Business matters, don't rush for a while.After all, we don't even know what to sell now. ] Wanwan thought for a while, and said [You need to have the ability to protect yourself, and you need more information about the outside world.At least until your slaves have arrived and settled down, and we've formed a fighting force. ]

[You are right. ] Kunz also sighed, although it is said that people have short-term worries without long-term thinking, but sometimes it is not good to think too much.

After finishing the conversation with Wan Wan, there is still half an afternoon of study time left. It is not surprising that the afternoon class is "the surrounding nobles of the Barony of Monrofi", and the first one is the Duke of Wen Erta.Since he is a duke, his ancestors were also brilliant, anyway, more brilliant than the Baron Monroe family, but Moria only has one comment about the current generation of dukes.

"I don't know much about this duke. From these 'not much', I can only say that this duke is just an ordinary territorial noble who guards his ancestral inheritance, neither absurd nor shining."

Giving Kunz some time to think, Moria continued: "So, the invasion of Berton Monrofi must have nothing to do with the Duke of Huerta, because what is certain is that the Duke is very old-fashioned and doesn't I like variables."

"... Besides, don't you look down on Meng Luofei? You think that even if you take down Meng Luofei, he won't have much benefit." After all, the difference between a duke and a baron is too great. In the eyes of a duke, there are as many barons as It is the pebbles on the ground, that is, civilians such as sand and dust have limited strengths.

Moria smiled and praised Kunz for his wisdom.

So what is certain is that Duke Huerta is not a threat when Meng Luofei does not move too much.

"The one who should draw your attention is Viscount Kirke, who only borders you on a small territory in the north. He is a young and militant nobleman. The rumors about him are not good..."

According to Moria's introduction, the rumors about the Viscount Kirk are not only bad?It's just insane.He let the serfs level the swamps to expand the farmland.In order to hunt monsters, young children are used as bait.He personally led his knights to pretend to be robbers, robbed merchants and small landowners in his own tie, and even robbed other nobles' territories.He is also extremely lecherous. The women in his territory, regardless of their appearance, except those who are over 50 years old, have had sex with him voluntarily or involuntarily.

I don't know if this Viscount Kirk is really stupid, if he is too arrogant, or if he has some special hobbies. He is very proud of these things he has done, so these rumors are all spread by himself.

"He didn't see you in the past because your land was too barren, but once Meng Luofei developed... you know, his title is a bit higher than yours."

At the end of the day, when he returned to the north tower, Kunz felt that his head was bigger.

"Captain... are you leaving?" Kunz grabbed the quilt, half covered his face, and looked at the captain with two eyes. He was ready to be bullied or even kicked out.

"Don't go."

Kunz was elated at that moment, knowing that he heard the sound of leather cracking—the quilt had been torn away by him.

"Do you... miss the imperial capital?"

"I miss it a bit. Although the food is not very good, there are gorgeous clothes and a magnificent palace."

Um?Clothes and palaces?This does not fit well with the image of the captain that Kunz understands.

"Captain, I awakened the second talent, but I haven't found it yet."

"The awakening of your first talent seems a little too smooth."

"!" Kunz trembled in fear.

"Remember what you were thinking when you were approved by the rules?"

"I thought? Uh..." It seems to be you, "Well, it seems to be the sun?"

"Then keep thinking about the sun."

"Continue to think about the sun?" Continue to think about you who are shining in gold?

"Boom—" flames shot up into the sky. Kunz's quilt, which had been with him for two years, was torn apart and then burned. When the flames were extinguished, it turned into a black wreck.

Looking at the ashes, Kunz was a little disappointed. It was either a rare talent or a very common flame.But soon cheered up, he finally had his true gift, his own personal power.

Of course it was embarrassing too, after all, he burned down the captain's room.Kunz's toes were tense, he grabbed the wreckage, hugged the cat's nest tightly and jumped up, wanting to get out of here as soon as possible.It's better to leave by yourself than to be kicked out by the captain later, right?

The author has something to say: Captain: Dead fish eyes.jpg... The golden light me?You can flirt with me like this? ? ?

Kunz: (*/ω＼*) It’s super pretty!

Captain: This... can only be said to be true love.
