Chapter 506 CXL. Drifting City

Holy Spirit Calendar 2690, July 5.

Drifting City, in the middle of the Principality of Mulong.

Different from the highland tundra climate of Kolor City, the Hengduan Mountains block the cold current from the north. It is hot and dry in summer. Affected by the tropical high pressure and trade winds of the narrow sea, the air flow sinks. Because it is close to the natural canal that runs through the narrow sea, it is also relatively close to the coastal area, which is a very typical narrow sea climate.

The world's second largest slave trade center was once here. Slaves east of the narrow sea had to be sold from here to the west.

It is called a natural canal, but in fact, you can't see the other side at a glance. According to the professional mapping of Yalan personnel, the narrowest river channel is seven miles.

The vegetation on both sides is lush, and there are lush palm trees in groups, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.

And Drifting City is also the most special city that Li Site has visited.

There are huge natural brown-red rock forests here, and the roads are intricate. The rock composition and structure are peculiar, and it is extremely stable without supporting pillars and will not collapse.

Every household, the shops on the square brick streets, and even the lord's mansion are also carved out of the mountain. The ancient city of Petra is generally called a small drifting city.

On many high-hanging mountains, there are some artificially built spiral plank roads. Walking along them, you can pass by mountain caves sealed with iron fences, which are as dense as bird cages. Obviously, they were once shopping malls used to detain slave goods. However, due to the change of times and the rise of nationalism, slave trade has become history and has become a slum where the distressed survive.

Because of its unique geographical nature like a maze, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is an iron fortress. If it does not rely on long sieges to cut off food, it will pay a huge military price.

It is also the next strategic goal of the Alan Army General Crocodile Island, the only way for the railway.

Li Site and Uporio, the chief leader of the Muron resistance, have already met and vacated a mountain castle in Drifting City for Black Sail to station troops.

Before the Emperor's army entered Muron's small territory, Drifting City, Black Rock City, and Muron's capital were the most prosperous cities in the country except for Golden Palm Harbor.

So Drifting City was once directly under the government, and it was managed by a council composed of nobles from various parties, and the environment was the same as that of Bemarinden City.

There are also many castles, and Black Sail is now stationed in a fortress carved out of a huge rock.

Even in wartime, the residents of Drifting City live as they did before. If they want to leave Drifting City, they must obtain permission from the resistance army and hold a pass before they can leave.

But things are very difficult to get. If you are a civilian, you basically have no way to go out. If you are a wealthy businessman, they have to search your house first before letting you go.

It can be seen that Ubolio wants to fight to the end. He is not a fool. He knows that he can't beat Alan in a head-on fight, nor can he beat Alan in a tug-of-war. He just needs time. He has to waste time even if he can't afford it, waiting for some unlikely miracle.

In the Black Sail Stronghold.

The hall located in the high-rise of the mountain rock was once the living room of the nobles here.

Through the unobstructed wilderness porthole, overlooking the magnificent and fantastic scenery of the Drifting City, this city is endless. Mulong's ancestors were also rich. During the slave period, this place was a glorious city that never sleeps. Now it has become a victim of the Continental Transportation Act.

The furniture in the room is not made of stone. They are all good goods used by nobles. They are extremely exquisite. The tables and chairs are all gilded with horseshoe legs, and the edges and corners are also inlaid with precious mineral edges.

Framed with impressionist oil paintings created by famous artists, the indoor swimming pool reflects the shimmering light on the stone wall under the reflection of the scorching sun. The carving patterns are also from the hands of masters, and they are ingenious.

It was requisitioned by Black Sail as a command room, and the magic energy amplification radio transceiver that Finn brought from the Port of Heaven was also placed here.

Li Site sat on the sea beast leather chair with a cool effect, with his legs on the table, but his face was full of worry. He was holding a brick-like audio input device and talking to Mo Yutong.

It was bad news in the first place, and the delay of more than two minutes in the round trip was almost killing him, not to mention the time the other party took to answer the call and think about what to say, which was almost five or six minutes.

Half an hour passed, and it was still not clear.

"I know the financial report is in deficit now, but the salaries of those workers, the money of those thugs, and the operating costs of all aspects should not be so fast. There are so many public funds that can't be spent in the next few months. You tell me that the new season has started again? Is it that Taylor and Planck are no longer willing to cut, or are these bastards in the East China Sea arrogant?"

Li Site put down the walkie-talkie and felt a headache.

Xiadi, Ryan, Morrison and the others were playing in Drift City without any care. Archer didn't know where he died and drank heavily. This place was different from the Coral Highlands. The commercial area was still operating normally, and the local customs and customs could be felt.

Finn stood by and thought, if it was a small problem, the party he had formed there could handle it.

In short, something happened in Tianguo Port. Pirates came to the construction site of Tianguo Port New District every now and then to find trouble. It was not a small fight, but a bloody fight. There were many cases. It was not drunken trouble. Someone was deliberately making a black sail.

As the saying goes.

Emblems of dragons and tigers are used to intimidate the government.

Don't even think about working. You must go to Tianguo Port when you are in trouble.

The location advantage of the East China Sea is too strong. Unlike the semi-militarized and disciplined privateering pirate group in the Narrow Sea, going to the Narrow Sea to hide is mostly caught, but there is no such risk in the East China Sea.

The Red Sea industry can make money, the mountains are high and the emperors are far away, and you can find refuge. Guys from all over the world like to come here. The seasons are going too fast, regardless of whether the awesome or stupid people are happy to come.

In the past, he was the strongest king but was taken in as a dog by Dollinger.

Now there is a slight change. After fighting against the strongest king, you may have to compete with Li Site.

"My friend can handle it, as long as it's not a massive commotion. What are your ideas?"

Fenliang and those people don't have the guts to go up to the intensity, and they are still testing the edge.

"My idea? Show off, I'll let him fly!"

Liszt made a black hand gesture.

"The elderly and children will fly first."

Wollman is also in the command room. Unlike Xia Di and others, he has the heavy responsibility of restoring the country.

Five minutes later, Mo Yutong's reply came.

"Taylor sent people to investigate. It was led by the United Chamber of Commerce of some casinos and brothels in the Narrow Sea, as well as the workers' union over there. You know that Dollinger has always been open to foreign investment, and everyone can come to Heavenly Port to do business at will. Yes, he doesn't do any management either. The big businessman who used to pay dividends to Dollinger saw that the new district planning was progressing smoothly some time ago. We have also invested a huge amount of money to acquire land and prepare to open casinos, brothels, and commercial areas. Some merchants from the mainland have also targeted the angel round and invested money to rent land. The progress of the project is very good, and most of the projects will be completed early next year. The merchants on the other side of the narrow sea are looking for trouble. All the gold diggers who went to Iron Soul Island have been killed, and now people are in panic. "

Mo Yutong finished his speech.

All three of them looked solemn.

That's what happens when the market is big. The Matthew Effect is good, but there are many people who sit still and kneel to invest.

But the price is that no one has any grievances, and people who are beyond your reach will come to mess with you, because you have squeezed the market and eaten the meat that others should eat.

Because the pirates in the Narrow Sea are militarized and disciplined, they will not accidentally injure civilians. It is now the gold-selling cave that people in the Western Continent like to go to in pursuit of depraved pleasure. There are also many nobles, and safety guarantees are there.

Now that the East China Sea has opened up, it is even more powerful than the Narrow Sea. The Narrow Sea is just for fun with countries like the Western Continent.

The East China Sea is the Western Continent, the Southern Continent, and the Far East Islands. Brothers from these places will go to play. The biggest problem is the inconvenience of transportation, but now the situation in Tianguo Port is stable, and the dedicated transportation line is running away. But for wealthy vacationers who have time and money, doesn’t it become a must-check-in place in life?

I won't mess with you? If I don't kill you, I lose.

Serin sighed and said earnestly to Li Site: "I told you, the lack of order in the East China Sea is the biggest reason why Daolinger dare not open a country to collect taxes. As a junction of multiple continents, it can only Chaos, this is the consensus of many parties. Now there are just some signs. In the future, it will not only be merchants who will mess with you. I heard that Oaks is also planning to operate the trade of Mirror Sea in Tianguo Port. You will become the fattest meat in the world. Everyone is going to eat you."

Li Site was silent for a while.

"Can I make money from this?"

Li Site threw the white fur cloak on the table. Brother Donghai had limited skins, but it was too hot in Drifting City to wear it.

"Of course, but you have to have a sense of boundaries. Don't be a savior. Give the construction workers 1.5 times the salary and provide food and accommodation. Let it go. Your new district plan, the Century Casino that the merchants expropriated the land for, Century Casino Brothels should also shrink and run them directly. Don’t wait for United Capital to grow too strong and continue to suck the blood of Narrow Sea. No one will let you go.”

Celine suggested sincerely.

"That's kneeling."

Wollman complained.

Li Site slapped the newspaper of the Eighteenth Formation of the Sword of Time of the Eternal Sect on the table, "Add this to make money while standing. I'll go and get Zotte, the deputy director of the old Aran Witch Hunting Secret Service." Chopped, who dares to disapprove?"

What he didn't finish was that Mulon became his puppet government.

Serin clapped her hands with a wonderful expression on her face, "I said I'm going to let you wait until the end of the year, but your submission is so good that our director will invite you to dinner during the Chinese New Year."

Li Site said to the radio: "I haven't gone to trouble the Narrow Sea yet, but these Bi people came to the door on their own. For those who come to cause trouble, kill first and ask questions later. I will take care of the Narrow Sea, Emperor There’s no guarantee, I’m telling you. Find out the masterminds and bring their families directly to the island to enjoy themselves. These gangsters have never seen the underworld.”

He hung up the radio.

Mulon still has a bunch of problems to deal with. There are still more than 2,000 and nearly 3,000 miles until the railway is built here. In the next few days, Crocodile Island may have to go to surrounding towns to set up sites. Soldiers will bring surveyors and so on.

Black Sail's people, as well as Uborio's people, were already on the alert in advance to search for the enemy.

At that time, I will definitely block him and give these military masters a show of strength.

"Following Li Site, this is what I have to do every day if I don't have to worry about it."

Wolman gave a thumbs up.

"It's human nature."

Serin had already seen that Li Site had a self-destructive tendency.

Fin wanted to add that it was quite the opposite, and he agreed, but didn't say it.
