Knight of the Light

Information from other worlds is transmitted slowly, word of mouth is often distorted, and many errors and subjective judgments are mixed. All the forces seem to be deaf and blind, even if they get the news, it often takes a few days, a dozen days or even a few months ago.

Relative to the highly developed real world, Zhou Qingfeng is faced with extremely poor timeliness, and even mistaken realms. He used 'Holy Light' to build a very small social structure. For a larger area, he is like a blind man in a blind image.

Adventurers who come to Harmony Village will provide half-clawed outside information. However, most of them have low social status, are illiterate and illiterate, and have limited contact with them. For the North in the macro sense, no one has been able to say clearly.

Inessa fled from the south to the Black Forest, and she hid for ten years. Kelly was also wanted outside and fled to Cold Wind City in one breath, and was recruited to Harmony Village by Cyric. They are already quite knowledgeable, but they are still new to the North.

It is this sense of strangeness that makes people feel at a loss in the face of a vast world. When it is necessary to make a choice, it is like ‘the blind man rides a blind horse, and the midnight abyss’ is not wrong.

Justin and Mondino can provide more information, providing Zhou Qingfeng with a hazy summary of the north. But these two are also marginalized people who are excluded by mainstream society. If it were not for Harmony Village, they would not find a place to stay.

Although Marbury Long Legs is a sister-in-law, he can sit down with a cup of hot tea in his hand, and he relaxes and digs out his stomach. He knew everything about Zhou Qingfeng's inquiry, and said it as if he was a confidant in life.

What cities are there in Northland? Who is the monarch of the city? How powerful is the monarch? How is the relationship between the monarchs? There are even trivial gossips, and the grudges and grudges of Chenma Langu.

The tea was hot and cold. After talking for a long time, Marbury suddenly felt a little breathless, and asked tentatively, "Her Hugo, do you want to get involved in the imperial war in the north?"

Zhou Qingfeng was curious, "What is a 'monarchy war?'"

"There are 17 large cities in the North, with populations ranging from 20,000 to 30,000. The 17 cities form alliances and watch each other against foreign enemies. The owners of each city have the right to become the" King of the North "and coordinate Affairs within the alliance. "

This 'King of the North' sounds more reliable than the 'King of the Black Forest'. Anyway, they lead a dozen cities and hundreds of thousands of people. It's better than Uncle Zhou, who has only one village.

"The Northland is too weak, everyone must die without holding the regiment. The King of the Northland is a lifetime system. After each death, 17 city owners negotiate and re-election. It can be said that negotiation is actually war. Divide into three or four factions and attack each other.

The current King of the North is Phils, the lord of the Banshee Castle. We were defeated by him that year and had to surrender our diplomatic and trade rights. That guy has been the king for more than ten years, earning enough wealth by collecting taxes and doing business.

Old Phils was dying, and his son wanted to inherit his kingship. But the other sixteen families have long been fed up with the oppression of the Phils family, and they will certainly unite to suppress them. My father wanted to develop 'Silver Leaf City' to earn military expenses, but now "

Marbury stopped suddenly, but Zhou Qingfeng already understood the other party's meaning. The old long legs were afraid of getting sick, but this time they spent a lot of money exploring ‘Silver Leaf City’ but they did n’t get any good. The next day was sad.

At that time, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pursued his pursuit of the north, the prestigious name was inexhaustible, but the wealth accumulated by the grandfathers of the two generations was consumed by seven or eight. There is no agriculture in the north, and some local products are used for foreign trade for a living. The cities' economies are extremely fragile, and once setbacks are devastating disasters.

Zhou Qingfeng had a high-quality soul crystal to do transactions with the succubus to maintain his own internal economy, but he could only gather more than 2,000 people. I can't afford more. With a population of 20,000 in Cold Wind City, think about how sad the old long-legged days are now.

"What do you want?" Zhou Qingfeng asked back. The two sides finally entered the formal negotiation topic.

As a puppet, Marbury had no experience at all on this topic. But the reality forced him to use his brain and meditate to remember his father's usual words and deeds, hoping to get some inspiration, "We want to explore 'Silver Leaf City' again."

"Of course, I don't stop outsiders from going to the Elven Ruins." Zhou Qingfeng smiled. "But I suggest you buy the adventure services we provide."

Uncle Zhou now controls the Black Forest and has considerable influence on the Maglu tribe. It is impossible to collect tolls. "I hope that items obtained during the expedition will have priority to purchase at a reasonable price."

Marbury immediately realized that this might be a big pit, but Zhou Qingfeng continued: "We can pay with gold coins, food, weapons. These are all indispensable commodities in war. Once the war starts, prices will rise, and even out of stock."

The development of 'Silver Leaf City' is to make money, and to make money is to prepare for war. If Harmony Village could provide combat preparation materials directly, it would not be unacceptable to deal with it. Mabri felt that this matter could agree in principle.

"Her Hugo, are you willing to join us in the Cold Wind City?" Marbury asked. "The battle for kingship usually lasts two months, but preparations often take two years. We have already begun preparations."

This question is too naive, Zhou Qingfeng smiled, "I'm just a village here, to accept guests from the Quartet. But there are not many troops to participate in the war. From the current point of view, I prefer to be a businessman."

Marbury didn't understand what Uncle Zhou meant, thinking he was just staying in the Black Forest to avoid war and stay neutral. However, he felt that the trip was already fruitful and not worthless.

At the end of the talks, the two sides did not even have a formal agreement, and Marbury hurriedly left the Harmony Village in a carriage and returned to Cold Wind City.

As soon as the grandfather and his grandson left, Uncle Zhou held up his hands and ran out of his office happily.

Inessa was in the room next door, listening to the movement and came out, being held up by Zhou Qingfeng. She exclaimed in surprise, "Victor, why are you crazy? Put me down."

"The Northland is about to fight, and we are just taking this opportunity to jump out of this small place in the Black Forest. I want to be an arms dealer and sell weapons to everyone involved in the war. When their exhaustion is exhausted, I will run out to pick peach."

Zhou Qingfeng hugged the elder sister for a few laps, and then ran to the forging yard in the village. As he walked halfway, he shouted, "Will the **** wind forging machine work? Can I run out of the Black Forest and rely on it?"

Hurrying to forge the field, the gray dwarf artificial head who manages the area is scratching his head and walking out. Uncle Zhou felt cold, and Shen asked, "What happened? Don't tell me, you have been tossing for so long and you haven't finished that forging machine?"

The gray dwarf blacksmith looked up slightly, yawned, and said, "It's a good forge, it can work for a day or two without errors. Everyone is very happy."

Zhou Qingfeng was even more upset. "Then why do you look discouraged, what does it mean? Something happened at home? Or is it too much ale?"

The gray dwarf sighed, "I have been thinking about a philosophical dwarf these days, or a dwarf? But no matter how hard I hit the iron, I can't compare to that forging machine? What should I do? The meaning of being alive is what?"

Sure enough, ale was too little to drink, and the dwarves began to learn to use their brains.
