The bodyguard narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him. His feelings were like the storage in the forest on a snowy night. There were countless and unspeakable changes - all kinds of feelings.
Snow night is definitely not a suitable place to live. If you have the means and ability, you will definitely move out of here.
This has been the case since the first Archduke appeared on a snowy night. He has not changed completely, but he has the means and ability but has not chosen to leave?
Apart from the Duke on the snowy night, there are only the descendants of their followers and bodyguards who followed the first Duke in those years.
Not that I don''t want to leave, but that I can''t give up this honor.
After all, from the time they got the "development certificate" to the establishment of the snow night castle, they paid all the efforts of nearly two generations - the first snow night Archduke with the strength of a great wizard died after only five years in office, while those who followed him died earlier.
The second snow night Archduke obviously didn''t have the strength of his father. He was old when he was in power. Even if he tried his best to serve the snow night castle, he was just more than willing but less than able. Similarly, he passed the throne to the third snow night Archduke less than three years in office; And died in the same year.
In less than ten years, three Archduke changed.
For other places, this is incredible, but it is regarded as common sense in the snowy night - after all, when the first snowy night Duke applied for a "development certificate", everyone was not optimistic about him and the place he chose; In fact, it has proved so.
However, similarly, if it is really a good territory, where is the first generation of snow night Archduke?
You know, in the hundred years since the founding of the wizard Dynasty, half of the land of Lorant has its own owners.
As for the rest?
Either the weather and environment are as bad as the snow night, or there are too many fierce animals, which are not suitable for living at all.
Therefore, every snow night Archduke is distressed about anyone''s departure, but there is no reason to block it - as the Lord, you can''t provide a comfortable and safe living environment for the leader, so you can''t let the people contribute their obligations.
Rights and obligations are always mutual!
Even though some wizard nobles and lords don''t care, they still follow the rules on the surface - because this is the rule set by the first wizard emperor, his majesty Shure.
No one dares to object to this.
Moreover, every snow night Archduke is famous for his kindness and kindness. It is obviously impossible for such a lord to do anything without heart.
However, it is precisely because of such kindness, kindness and following morality that there is no lack of followers around every Archduke on a snowy night.
Just like this Lord Ike, as the bodyguard of the Grand Duke of snowy night, his family has served snowy night for more than five generations. Although it can not be traced back to before the fifth Grand Duke of snowy night, their family has served him from the sixth to the eleventh Grand Duke of snowy night.
Therefore, the bodyguard is definitely familiar with the snowy night. It''s not too much to say that he has seen the thousands of changes in the snowy night - from the isolated inner castle with less than 1000 people to the current outer castle with complete villages and towns and a population of 50000. Such changes have attracted the participation of the bodyguard''s family one after another.
Therefore, he knows very well how much each snow night Archduke has paid.
In fact, every snow night Archduke doesn''t live long. Compared with their own strength, they are even short-lived. The reason for this is nothing more than overwork - imagine that a person often doesn''t rest for weeks. All problems are not so difficult to confirm.
The tenth snow night Archduke died at the age of 40, the golden age of a man.
The 11th snow night Archduke succeeded to the throne at the age of 12 and began to take charge of the whole snow night principality at an incredible young age. Although he was an adult at the age of 16 in the wizard Dynasty, there was still a four-year gap between the age of 12 and the age of 16, and even... He was just a child.
However, it was such a child that the snow night principality did not collapse and separate, but prospered day by day.
Most people think this is a genius and is recognized by people.
However, only a few people, such as the chief bodyguard, can understand what their grand duke has done for the snowy night principality - reading all documents all night, seizing all the time to learn everything that can serve the snowy night, without any private time; If it weren''t for his and hocha''s rigid regulations on the rest time.
I''m afraid their Archduke will be the shortest living Archduke on a snowy night.
They think that their Archduke has done well enough, both in terms of his age and ability.
However, even so, some unprovoked "censure" always fell on their young Archduke.
The so-called "King (Archduke) assembly" will target their Archduke every time and start to find faults in all aspects.
The bodyguard knew very well that it was just that the Archduke wanted to have some fun in the boring life.
But it was because of this that he became more angry.
Because, for each other, this is just a fun, but for them, it is a real insult!
However, such insults will not last, because... They have an opportunity that other principalities cannot imagine, or ''genius''!
As the grand duke''s bodyguard, he was always cautious in his words and deeds, but he respected Master Qiao; On more than one occasion, he praised the "genius" in public, but everyone who heard it did not oppose it, and they praised it together.
Because the "master Qiao" not only selflessly took out his improved medicine as a chip to open up the business Road on the snowy night, but also let the initiative of the business road always be in the hands of the snowy night - when I think of the ugly faces of those businessmen when I went to buy food before the winter of previous years, as well as the humble and flattering appearance now.
The bodyguard couldn''t help sighing at the bottom of his heart. However, there should be none less!
Although as a man, it''s not right to bear grudges, in the face of those hateful businessmen, the bodyguard''s memory is quite good - it only costs them half, or even less, to buy food than in other places, and they not only need to spend more, but also need to be despised.
"Oh, poor people on a snowy night!"
"Damn it, they always show up on time every winter!"
"It''s said that their eldest daughter doesn''t even have a skirt!"
……
Every time such words are recalled, the guard captain''s inner anger increases by one point.
Therefore, when "master Qiao" proposed that he must obtain the "qualification" to buy medicine from him, and defined the "qualification" as food, medicinal materials, etc., the bodyguard did not hesitate to give a fairly accurate quantity - as a snowy night man, of course, the bodyguard knows everything around him better than "master Qiao".
Of course, the discussion on that day did not just say that, but also the extension from here - for example, how to attract more people with a better environment.
Whether it is a snowy night or any other principality, population is always the most important.
Therefore, the "welfare" of porters has been put forward in this way - only when outsiders see the different side of the snowy night, can they get more recognition.
This recognition will undoubtedly be a good start.
All the people involved in the discussion were very aware of this, but what everyone did not expect was that it would take a long time for them to have a successful plan. Unexpectedly, it appeared so early——
"What are you talking about?"
Even after countless battles, at this time, the bodyguard still took a deep breath, alleviated his inner excitement, and asked in a calm tone as much as possible.
"Sir, sir, do you accept free people here?"
The newcomer of the caravan looked at the big man in front of him and asked again; However, compared with blurting out under the impulse before, this time he returned to God, but he became a little trembling - he had some regrets about his impulse. You know, every master is very busy. How can he pay attention to his poor boy.
Maybe you''ll get a whip?
The newcomers to the caravan thought in frustration.
"Can you do anything? If you can do any of ironmaking, weaving, medicine, brewing, etc., you can become a free citizen of the snow night after verification... However, if you can''t do anything, you must serve in the militia of the snow night for six months free and participate in the expansion of the snow night fort in the summer of next year and the next year - the latter can receive wages."
Calmed the excitement in his heart and returned to normal, the bodyguard immediately asked according to the results of the discussion that day.
This was the result of the discussion between the "master Qiao" and their grand duke. He and Huo Cha listened in the whole process and had no objection to it. After all, there were not a lack of hunters and some pharmacists in the snow night, but there were very few talents in iron making, weaving and brewing, and even almost disappeared.
It is also a big expense to buy iron, cloth, wine and so on.
Therefore, if we can attract such talents, the finance of snow night will be much better.
As for the expansion of snow night castle?
It is indisputable that a larger population will inevitably need a larger place.
"I, I will brew!"
There was no expected whip, but a series of check-in conditions. After a little stunned, the newcomer of the caravan immediately said with great joy, and even his words became stuttered.
"Well, brew? Go to the third house on your left. If the test passes, you are the snowy night man!"
The bodyguard glanced at the young man in front of him, then pointed to the house in the distance and said that there was more expectation in his tone - in the ice and snow climate, alcoholic drinks are always available in the snow night. Even if the bow operator and marksman are forbidden by decree, they will drink a little.
"Yes, sir!"
The young men of the caravan saluted and then ran quickly to the house.
About ten minutes later, there was a round of applause in the house - congratulations.
When he heard the applause, the captain of the bodyguard couldn''t help turning up the corners of his mouth - an immigrant population longer than expected, and a young man who could brew.
All this is so beautiful!
The bodyguard took a long breath, and then couldn''t help shouting at the bottom of his heart: "praise our great master Qiao!"
……
[power of faith + 1]
When the bodyguard sincerely praised Ye Qi''s pseudonym, there was a beat in Ye Qi''s system column, which made Ye Qi, who had just completed a potion production, squint.
It was Yeqi''s plan to expand his reputation with potions and seek corresponding benefits for the snowy night.
However, the emergence of the power of faith surprised Yeqi.
The power of belief, which is very similar to the power of kingship belief, appeared at the celebration banquet two weeks ago, and ye Qi was really shocked.
Because once the fluctuation of the power of faith appears, he will definitely be watched in this era of gods and Demons dancing together.
But then there was no movement at all.
The scene in the speculation did not appear, so that after ye Qi experimented several times, he denied the original speculation and there were more and new guesses.
The gods can''t find the power of faith about kingship?
Or... Can''t find a very subtle power of kingship belief!
The emergence of the first guess was quickly added to the second by Yeqi when it was associated with the original ''great emperor'' Delphi.
After that, everything seems to be indicating that their guess is correct.
However, even so, ye Qi is carefully "Exploring" all the changes around him. Since such an irreversible thing has happened, worry and fear is not ye Qi''s way. What he needs is a more active way, and the exploration of the surrounding magic eyes is the first thing to arrange.
After all, as a participant, he cannot change history.
But... The fall of the gods is real history!
And he doesn''t mind repeating this history; However, accordingly, it is absolutely impossible to start a war on a snowy night and Lorant. The spread of immortal level combat is enough to destroy the country.
Since Yeqi is unwilling to change history, he needs to choose a battlefield.
On the premise of being unable to enter the war place of the gods, Yeqi undoubtedly has only one choice - the endless sea!
The vast sea is undoubtedly a very ideal place to fight.
Once the magic eye finds something wrong, Yeqi will attract the possible gods there at the first time.
However, from now on, everything is calm.
After putting aside these worries, the power of faith is still very good - since the tenth day, Yeqi has increased his power of faith by nearly 500 every day.
This is very good for the population on snowy nights.
The belief of ordinary theocracy is one out of a hundred.
The belief in kingship is one out of ten.
Yeqi is undoubtedly quite special. In most cases, he conforms to the rules of kingship belief - for all this, Yeqi is summarized in his special specialty [King''s potential].
However, sometimes, it can not be explained by the king''s potential.
Because he had never heard of the one to one ratio of the power of faith.
It''s as if ye Qi was frightened by such an exaggerated proportion when he was in Qianzhao district. Therefore, he couldn''t ask more from his contract partners.
Such a secret is almost the same as the existence of the system.
Ye Qi needs to be buried in his heart and can''t be known.
"We must enter the land of the gods as soon as possible!"
Ye Qi looked at the increasing power of faith every day, but his heart became more and more urgent to enter the place where the gods fought; After all, only when the gods appear at that time and participate in the war, will he use the power of faith to transform it into existing combat power, which will not attract attention.
After all, if you hide a leaf, the best place must be the forest.
However, Yeqi is very clear that he still needs time to brew; At least, it is possible only when his medicine spreads around and everything in the snow night principality is built effectively.
As for now?
Naturally, we need to wait.
Not only waiting for the announcement to be broadcast, but also waiting for the high-level praise of the wizard Dynasty.
Ye Qi believed that the wizard dynasty would express itself by killing the strong man of the sea nationality with his demonstrated strength - like some tricky things in the supreme government, they would not appear in the wizard Dynasty at all.
After all, powerful wizards really have too many ways to find the truth.
Therefore, as long as you are a clear-minded person, you will never do such a bastard.
While ye Qi was thinking, bursts of calls rang——
"Master Qiao, master Qiao..."
On a snowy night, the Archduke looked at his absent-minded adviser with some helplessness.
After two weeks together, the female Archduke accepted the young wizard master more and more, not only because the other party''s strength and ability were outstanding, but also because the other party did not hesitate to take out his potion as the cornerstone of the development of the snow night - for some wizards'' brooms, or... This is a tradition.
The female Archduke knows it.
Therefore, the gratitude to Yeqi is obvious.
However, for this consultant with the title of "genius", the female Archduke also has quite helpless places, such as this appearance of being absent-minded from time to time.
You know, they are in class now!
It would be unforgivable for a teacher to be distracted if he were placed elsewhere; At least the statement will be damaged, at worst it will be questioned and even discredited.
However, the female Archduke will never embarrass a consultant who deserves her gratitude.
"Master Qiao, we are in class!"
Although it will not be difficult, but out of good intentions, the female Archduke''s reminder is still necessary.
PS about the wizard emperor conference, decadent made a small mistake. Connected with the dead Shure, there are 15 wizard emperors - a reminder of the white night of gratitude~~
