The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Xu Lai's day was particularly long.

Not long after Durr arrived, he told Xu Lai a secret related to the entire world situation, and then took the teleportation array back to the imperial capital without stopping.

He wanted to take at least tens of thousands, or even more than 100,000 believers, from the most central city of the empire to the grassland city tens of thousands of miles away.

Even if there were two temple knights to protect them and another crimson bishop to help, it was still impossible to be peaceful thousands of miles away.

As one of the responsible persons, Durr had a heavy burden on his shoulders, so he was unwilling to stay for long.

After receiving this latest news, Xu Lai could not calm down for a long time.

He and His Majesty the Pope had only met once, so naturally they did not have a deep relationship.

But as Durr said, the Pope was in critical condition, and when Kerrigan caught his breath, he would definitely not miss such a good opportunity.

However, in this situation, the Pope only ordered the transfer of the weak, and had no intention of transferring at all.

And if they did not leave, what awaited the people in the temple was almost inevitable destruction.

Xu Lai actually didn't know if he would accept the idea of ​​moving to Qingfeng City if the Pope and the high-ranking officials and elites of the temple had it in mind.

Once he accepted it, the great devil Kerrigan would certainly come out in full force to destroy them.

After all, the only two enemies he was concerned about in this world had merged into one.

This enemy he was concerned about did not include Xu Lai, and he did not have the confidence to do so.

The only thing that made Kerrigan concerned in Qingfeng City was the statue of the God of War.

After Dur left, people kept wanting to visit Xu Lai.

There were dignitaries who had just moved to Qingfeng City, bosses of large caravans, officials, etc.

They hit a wall in Qingfeng City. Xu Lai himself did not care about his identity as a small baron, and Su Ya, who worshipped Xu Lai as a god, certainly did not care.

These people, who could not get the privileges they wanted in Qingfeng City, had long accumulated too much dissatisfaction.

Before Xu Lai was not there, they had no choice. Now that they had finally waited for such a good opportunity, how could they let it go easily?

They were sure that if the Lord himself was not here, no one else would dare to do such a thing as erecting the statue of the God of War.

Therefore, they swarmed and blocked the entrance of the castle, leaving Xu Lai no way to escape.

The news that Durr brought to Xu Lai had already made him very irritated, and these guys blocked his door again, which was definitely adding fuel to the fire.

"Roland, go ask them what they want to do?"

Xu Lai's tone was cold, but not to Roland.

Because it was dark and he was in his own city, Xu Lai rarely rode a horse, but sat in the carriage to rest.

Xu Lai went deep underground for two weeks and had almost no rest.

It should be said that he had not slept well for a few days in the year since he came to this world, and he had long been accustomed to all kinds of running around.

But Qingfeng City is different. This is a city he has built with all his strength, and it is a place he regards as his home.

At home, Xu naturally wanted to relax, but now he was blocked at the door. How could he not be angry?

Xu Lai was not only angry, but they also ran into the muzzle of the gun.

Originally, he would usually let Jilong handle this kind of thing. The son of the Viscount's family was very good at dealing with these powerful and wealthy people.

If Jilong handled it, the situation would not escalate. At least in front of Xu Lai, Jilong would not allow the situation to escalate.

Because Jilong knew very well that Xu Lai should rest now. No matter what happened, it would be at least ten times easier to solve it after Xu Lai had a full rest and relaxation.

Just now, Jilong wanted to take the initiative to volunteer, but he didn't expect Xu Lai to not ask him at all, and directly ordered Roland to go.

Although Roland was a Holy Light Knight, he was not a good-tempered person.

Sure enough, Roland frowned and walked in front of the group of people. Before he said a few words, a conflict broke out.

Roland's attitude was not good. He frowned and asked them what they were doing here.

These nobles, descendants of nobles, ladies, and rich people who came from nowhere still pay attention to superficial work.

Before speaking, they have to introduce themselves for a long time, and then they have to bow to avoid being criticized.

If they are in front of people who admire them, they are calm and never lose their composure.

But in front of anxious people, if you talk nonsense for a long time and can't say a serious word, people will be anxious to death.

Roland immediately said angrily: "I don't care who you are. You gather here to make trouble. What do you want to do?"

"Making trouble, Mr. Knight, the people in front of you are all gentlemen and ladies with status in the empire. Why do you think we are making trouble?"

Roland frowned and was too lazy to argue with them. He said directly: "I don't care what you want to do. You are blocking my lord's way now, which is making trouble.

Now I ask you to leave immediately, otherwise I can only find a way to help you leave."

"Sir Knight, do you want to resort to force? This is your way of hospitality. I heard that your lord is also a nobleman, who seems to be a baron appointed by Earl Aini.

Do you know how many nobles are standing in front of you?"

A woman dressed as a lady was not afraid of the threat in Roland's words at all. She raised her head and stood in front of Roland.

Pa...

Roland raised his hand and slapped her in the face.

If it were anyone else, even Xu Lai, they would not be so decisive, because the person standing in front of them was a woman after all.

Xu Lai would not want to have anything to do with the other party in public, even if he asked someone to kill the woman directly.

But Roland was a pure paladin, and a die-hard paladin.

He had no scruples at all. When a woman with no fighting power stood in front of him, he slapped her in the face and asked her to get out of the way.

If it were a man in front of him, he might have drawn his sword directly.

"I tell you again, get out of here immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

Roland was so angry that he couldn't do it. Xu Lai asked him to come over to ask about the situation, but he was delayed for so long and didn't smell anything.

This group of birds was really slow and troublesome. How could Roland treat them well?

The main reason was that Xu Lai's attitude was not good. These generals who had always been loyal to Xu Lai naturally took Xu Lai's attitude as the standard.

If Roland didn't take action, it would just be a quarrel.

This slap was so powerful that the men present drew their weapons one after another.

The woman who dared to rush out at this time must have a very special identity.

This woman was a countess who came to Qingfeng City from the imperial capital with her husband, the count.

The couple originally wanted to seek a way out, but after arriving in Qingfeng City, they could not even see the shadow of the lord for several days.

If they could not see him, then they could not see him. The count and his wife would just pretend that Xu Lai was not there.

But it was not enough that they could not see the lord. The noble privileges they should have enjoyed were not enjoyed at all in Qingfeng City.

Not only did they not live in the castle, which was shabby in their eyes except for the larger space, they could not even live in a decent manor.

They found Su Ya, but the other party said that except for helping them adjust the guest rooms in the tavern, they could not help them with anything else.

In an instant, the count and his wife felt greatly insulted.

What a joke, who are they, how can they live in a tavern?

Moreover, it was a guest room. The most important thing was that Su Ya only said that she would make adjustments, and she had no intention of inviting them to stay.

This could not be blamed on Su Ya. Since she helped a group of heroes who jumped out last time and paid a fee that she should not have borne.

Su Ya no longer dared to make her own decisions on such matters.

Seeing that Su Ya was unmoved, this group of people also brought up their noble status.

Of course, it still did not achieve any effect.

After all, these people dared not make too much trouble in someone else's territory.

Besides, Su Ya was not the real boss, so even if they made a fuss, they could not get the results they really wanted.

So they took a step back. If Su Ya did not provide them with a place to live, they could buy it themselves.

They came to prepare a way out for themselves, and the most important part was to purchase assets such as land, houses, and materials.

After all, even if the nobles had a good relationship with you, they could host you for ten days and a half a month, or even for a year or half a year, but they would not live in someone else's house for a lifetime.

But what they could not have imagined was that there was a lot of vacant land in Qingfeng City.

Those lands that were only surrounded by walls, not to mention development, and even the weeds were not removed, should be worthless.

These powerful people are best at doing this kind of thing.

In a promising city, when the land is the least valuable, they purchase and develop a large amount of land, and then sell it or use it for their own enjoyment.

You know, the city wall that Xu Lai planned at the beginning was a very large piece of land.

There are so many hardworking farmers, many of whom have even advanced to the level of professional architects, but they still only have two walls, and the third is still under construction.

In such a huge city, almost three-quarters of the land is vacant and has not been developed.

But at this time, there are wars all over the world. The undead in the East Empire are getting more and more, while the South Empire has stopped recently, and even counterattacked into the underground city.

But after all, the wealth of the South Empire is well-known in the nine camps, and it is very easy to continue to be targeted.

On the contrary, this small town of Qingfeng suddenly appeared, and it also withstood the attack of the orcs in the stronghold, and it has great investment potential.

Just when these people thought they had picked up a great bargain, the staff of the city hall told them that if they wanted to buy the land in Qingfeng City, they must first obtain a household registration in Qingfeng City.

Household registration? What is that?

Although the dignitaries did not understand the rules of Qingfeng City for a while, this did not hinder their cleverness.

There are also various rules in major cities, and they have been prepared for this.

It doesn’t matter if they don’t have a household registration, the locals must have one, they just need to hire locals to buy it, and then transfer it to them.

However, in addition to requiring a household registration, the land in Qingfeng City has an upper limit on the amount of land that each person can buy.

Moreover, the land in Qingfeng City is divided into residential land and agricultural land.

Only land planned as a residential area is allowed to be bought and sold, and the upper limit of the maximum amount that each household can purchase is stipulated.

If the family size is relatively large, when they arrive in Qingfeng City, they can only split the house and form multiple households.

However, residential land is at least allowed to be bought and sold, while agricultural land is not allowed to be bought and sold at all, only leased.

Generally, cities don’t plan too much agricultural land, but Qingfeng City is different. There is a Swan Lake in Qingfeng City.

Every bit of water resources in the entire grassland needs to be used well and cannot be wasted.

Besides, Xu Lai has also built several new villages and towns outside the city, and the population that cannot be accommodated can be moved there.

In short, Xu Lai in Qingfeng City will not cram a large population, and he doesn’t like crowded environments, so there are still many agricultural lands.

The rule of Qingfeng City is that agricultural land can be distributed and leased. No matter how it is obtained, it belongs to the head of the household after it is obtained.

After the head of the household dies, it can be passed on to other direct bloodlines of the household. Non-direct bloodlines cannot be passed on and will be recovered by the city hall.

The so-called non-direct bloodlines are brothers and sisters who are not eligible to inherit, only children have the right.

Moreover, agricultural land is a lease relationship, all of which belong to the city lord Xu Lai, so other people are not eligible to buy and sell.

Of course, if you can’t buy and sell, you can hire other people to work on your land, and give the harvest of the land as a reward to the hired people.

The city hall recognized and protected such employment contracts.

However, since the land has been owned by Xu Lai, it is not so easy for others to merge with it.

Xu Lai has no time to formulate specific policies on land and trade. He just provided an idea for the people in the city hall to study and formulate a set of policies that are somewhat incongruous and temporary.

When the situation stabilizes and Xu Lai has a stable territory, he will really study these policies.

These dignitaries tried their best, but they could only get a small piece of land and some houses that they really didn't like.

If they go outside the city, the good places along the river have already been occupied by Xu Lai. Unless they go to the deep grassland to graze, they can't get the assets they want.

It happened that Xu Lai finally came back at this time, and he made such a huge noise at night.

The dignitaries who have always had a rich nightlife drank some wine, and after getting excited, they actually brought their guards to block Xu Lai.

Roland's slap was equivalent to slapping each of them in the face.

The nobles who have been passed down for hundreds and thousands of years value nothing more than the word face.

The Countess was hit so hard that she no longer cared about her image. Her sharp screams directly cut through the night sky of Qingfeng City.

Xu Lai suppressed his irritation and massaged his temples.

The dignitaries, together with the guards they brought, nearly a hundred knights in heavy armor, and the Crusaders also drew their swords.

Roland glared at these people. These bastards not only blocked Xu Lai's carriage, but now they dared to draw their swords.

At that moment, he and the dozen or so Holy Light Knights who came with him shouted together, drew their swords and rushed in.

Although it was a dozen people against hundreds of people, how could Roland be afraid?

Not to mention that they are all 8th-level Holy Light Knights, Xu Lai has hundreds of Holy Knight Guards in the back, and the city wall in front is a large group of Crusaders guarding the castle.

The moment the dignitaries were trapped from front and back and drew their weapons, they were doomed to die. (End of this chapter)
