Chapter 417 Her Majesty the Queen asked me to bring you a message
Lu Yao's gaze was immediately noticed by the gods and apostles.
【The White God prays to you. 】
In the center of the city, a huge stone statue knelt on one knee and saluted Lu Yao.
This scene surprised the little monsters in the city, with question marks and exclamation marks popping up above their heads. But soon, they realized something and whispered to each other.
"It's the divine power of Lord Yaoshen, right?"
“The Lord God has finally come to visit our Sifang City! I beg you to bless me to be promoted to captain, then captain, and then commander, hehehe…”
"Hush, don't talk nonsense about gods."
…
Lu Yao clicked to enter the city’s temple.
Bai Shen immediately knelt down and saluted: "Master Zhengshen."
Lu Yao asked him to tell him about the situation here.
"Lord Zhengshen, the Sifang Kingdom has developed steadily over the years, and I have been laying the foundation according to your instructions. Botu and his men have transformed the entire city, reintegrating the planting industry, animal husbandry, simple handicrafts and basic distribution system. This is a localized improvement based on the Yancheng model."
Although the Sifang Kingdom is nominally a country, it is actually more like a small city.
In the past, the population here was around 60,000, and most of them were low-level extraordinary people. Compared with ordinary people, they were just a little tougher and thicker-skinned, and their abilities were unremarkable.
The memory and intelligence of the Rock King were sealed, resulting in stagnation of urban development, serious internal friction, and solidification of classes.
The actual production situation in cities is more dangerous than it appears: the food gap is getting bigger and bigger, interest groups are clinging to each other, and a large number of urban residents cannot get basic survival guarantees.
After Lu Yao unsealed the Rock King, sent out Baishen to take charge, and transferred in governance experts such as Botu, the situation was quickly curbed and improved.
Urban inertia and residents' cognition cannot be completely changed in a short period of time.
The drastic reforms of the Sifang Kingdom lasted for ten years before the residents accepted and got used to the new way of life. With confidence and expectations, people were willing to exert their subjective initiative and participate in various urban production and construction.
After decades of stable development, the Four Kingdoms have now undergone a major change.
The city's infrastructure was gradually improved, and its inner spiritual culture was assimilated by the Yao people. The monster residents in the city became more adventurous and adventurous, and they respected knowledge and talent, which finally accelerated the operation of the small society on the fourth layer.
Having transitioned to this stage, Bai Shen began to consider the next step for the Four Kingdoms.
In fact, before this, Rock King Bartfrey and Evil One Haizhe had suggested several times to send people into the fifth layer of the abyss to explore and try to expand, which would bring greater benefits to the Four Kingdoms.
These proposals were all rejected by Bai Shen.
He adheres to the development strategy of the Quartet: steady development, solid foundation, and no reckless advance.
Mayor Potuo and Bai Shen are on the same side.
Botu said: "The situation in Sifang Kingdom is different from the traditional cities of the Yao people. The majority of the residents here are extraordinary people, and it is located in the abyss. The residents have been living in depression and panic for a long time."
"We need more time and patience to stabilize everyone's emotions and make residents believe that the city is worth relying on and worth their efforts."
"If we rush to the fifth level, it will have an adverse impact on the Four Kingdoms that have finally stabilized. All our efforts may also go to waste."
Bai Shen made a hundred-year plan.
Within a hundred years, the four countries will maintain recuperation and never take any rash actions.
The only time they participated in a war during this period was to aid Zhou Island, when the Evil Legion took action against the Ben Cavalry.
As time went by, the situation in the city became increasingly stable, and Baishen began to investigate and explore the fifth layer of the abyss.
At this time, the millions of killer locusts left over from the past came in handy.
They are excellent scouts and pathfinders. They are not likely to attract attention or attack, but can rely on their numerical advantage to cover a large area.
At this point, a pig-headed smiling face appeared on Baishen's head: "Lord Zhengshen, the locust scouts have accomplished this mission brilliantly. They have traveled a long distance to investigate on the fifth layer, actively passing on information to each other, and successfully collected all kinds of information on the fifth layer of the abyss."
"I compared these first-hand intelligence with the description of the wise insect and verified it. Considering the changes over the past century, what the wise insect said is basically true."
"Based on the current situation on the fifth floor, after repeated discussions and deductions, we decided to formally contact some of the regional controllers on the fifth floor."
"The situation on the fifth floor is complicated. The crack passage through which the Four Kingdoms entered is adjacent to the territory of [Magic Bag] Norland, and there are many wizard towers there..."
Lu Yao listened patiently to Bai Shen's statement.
The road for the Sifang Kingdom to enter the fifth layer was not smooth, because no matter which crack it was from, south, north or west, it could only enter a specific area of the fifth layer.
That area is adjacent to the jurisdiction of the demigod [Magic Bag].
The fifth layer is much larger than the fourth layer, and its area is even larger than the East Continent, West Continent, North Continent, and the New Continent in the South combined.
The number of demigods imprisoned here is also far greater than in the previous levels.
Counting only those who are still alive, there are currently nineteen demigods with fixed territories on the fifth level, three of which are far more powerful than their peers.
[Magic Bag] Noland controls the vast areas in the central and southern parts of the country and occupies the wonder [Inherited Mage Tower]. He has the ability to build a mage tower and is the most powerful demigod lord. It is said that he once briefly squeezed into the ranks of titled gods.
[Priest] Hu Yizi occupies a large territory in the north and possesses the wonder [Human Horse Stable]. The human and horse cavalry under his command are good at guerrilla warfare and encounter warfare.
[Duke Blackheart] Stoker, the ruler of the western region, has a wonder [Ertang Galan] in his territory. He leads a clan of vampires, dormant in the mountains.
Apart from these three giants, the remaining sixteen demigods are not much different.
The rift connecting the Sifang Kingdom and the fifth layer, besides being close to the magic bag Noland, also borders the territories of the three demigods.
The team that came to trade this time was this team of three demigods.
Lu Yao looked down at the ground.
The team on the south road is a kind of rodent orc superhumans. They have small ears, slender bodies, walk upright, and have furry tails behind them. They look nimble and agile.
The name of this group is [Chengwei].
The leading weasel was called Cheng Xin. He said, "...This time, I hope to exchange some garlic and potatoes from your country. If you can get grapes, that would be even better."
The person in charge of it is Mayor Potu.
Botu told it bluntly: "I'm really sorry, because the consumption of garlic is increasing year by year, and the demand of the residents is also very great, so the amount available for trading is not much. We can only trade 10 stones of garlic with you, and the potatoes are the same as last time, 100 stones. As for the grapes, I can only give you some jam."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
A sighing expression appeared on Chengxin's head.
It rubbed its hands and said, "Mayor Botu, Lady Dalia has always been the most loyal and reliable partner of the Four Kingdoms. Can you give us a little more garlic? You know, the Chengwei clan likes garlic very much. After eating it for the first time, everyone likes the spicy aroma very much. It can also help us treat teeth and stomachaches..."
“…”
Botu thought for a moment and asked the clerk beside him, "How much more can be spared?"
"Mr. Mayor, there's not a stone left." The clerk shook his head.
"Take out another 2 stones."
“That’s impossible.”
"We just need to take a little bit from other places, that's all. Mr. Dalia is our old friend, and we should give some preferential treatment to old friends."
Hearing this, Cheng Xin immediately smiled and said, "An extra 2 koku is good too. Thank you, thank you!"
Lu Yao was a little confused by this scene.
He asked the White God.
In theory, whether it is garlic or potatoes, as long as there is soil, they can be cultivated. With the current technology of the Yao people, it is impossible to block breeding.
As long as the Chengwei clan plants them in the soil, they can harvest these two types of crops for a long time.
Could it be that there is no soil on the fifth floor? "Master Zhengshen, the fifth floor has various geographical environments, so it is not impossible to grow crops."
Bai Shen explained: "It's just that there are many extraordinary species underground in the fifth layer of the abyss, including various weed monsters, insects and mice. Although they have low abilities, they are tenacious in survival. Garlic and potatoes have been planted many times on the fifth layer, but they are eaten by insects and mice before they grow up, or strangled and swallowed by weeds."
"Over time, demigods like Dalia can only be obtained through continuous trade with us. This is in the interests of both of us."
"Dalia is known as the Chicken King. The free-range chickens he breeds grow fast and have delicious meat. Everyone loves to eat them. He is the only one who can raise this flock of chickens well, so the trade between us has always been mutually beneficial."
Finally, the weasels pushed their carts, carrying garlic and potatoes, and left contentedly, singing songs. What they left behind were a group of white-feathered chickens, 100 local pure omnipotent stones, and several bags of shed wool from the weasels.
Lu Yao clicked on one of the chickens.
…
【Free range chicken LV1】
HP: 12/12Mana : 1/ 1Damage: 1Defense : 1Speed : 2 [Iron Stomach]
【Eating dirt】
When hungry, it can even use soil as food, and its survival ability is very strong.
…
These are truly the best local chickens from the Abyss. The extraordinary people have tasted them and found that this group of weasels are good at raising chickens.
Lu Yao continued to observe.
The one who made contact with the outsiders on the north road was Rock King Bartfred.
A werewolf wearing a bone horn helmet stood in front of it, bowing humbly: "Your Majesty, the King of Rock, Her Majesty the Queen asked me to bring you a message..."
"He asks you, does the 'fist alliance' we made back then still count?"
Rock King Bartfred was silent.
The werewolf suddenly dared not move.
However, Lu Yao smelled a scent of gossip.
This kid Yan Wang looks honest, but it turns out he is good at both work and love.
Let me see what kind of queen you hook up with.
Thanks to: Mao Yi Mei Yang for supporting 846 Qidian coins, and Pian Pian Jing Hong for supporting 250 Qidian coins.
