Chapter 522 New Official Takes Office



In the two days since entering Xuelong City, Annuo has been trying to understand the relevant matters in the city.

If I had to describe it, this city is somewhat similar to the city previously governed by Earl Wei.

Although it is a city of 100,000 people, it lacks vitality.

Apart from the soldiers, there were only a few hundred professionals.

The strongest professional instructor in the city is only level 20.

Moreover, the previous lord, being an aristocratic noble, did not have a very good attitude towards the people.

The most obvious are various taxes.

Because of the high taxes, except for a few individual merchants, there are very few businessmen coming here to do business - this is actually a common problem among the nobles.

In fact, because Kuala Lumpur has been developing better and better recently, many people from Kuala Lumpur and Selangor who are willing to venture out have gone to Kuala Lumpur to seek development.

After An Nuo came here, he naturally would not continue to do this.

Although he had no experience in managing a city, he knew that only frequent trade and flow of people could lead to development.

It is obviously a relatively rich territory, with enough resources to support the city of Xuelong with a population of 200,000. However, it has not grown and developed over the years.

However, regarding the new policies for the residents in the city, Annuo only gave general guidelines, and left the specific matters to Ella and the housekeeper to discuss.

In addition, Annuo also sent soldiers to the surrounding villages to publicize the new lord's appointment.

During these three days, the people in Xuelong City and the surrounding territories basically knew that the new lord was named Annuo, a seventh-level summoner!

A powerful lord will give his subjects a great sense of security.

As the news spread, Annuo was even rumored to be a dragon knight.

But they were worried that Anno would become like the previous lord.

In response to this situation, Annuo gave an inaugural speech at the city's central square at noon on the fourth day, explaining the policy of reducing taxes to the public.

Annuo’s price didn’t drop too much, it was just 20% lower than the average.

Even so, ordinary people began to get excited.

Because the various taxes collected by the previous lord were 30% higher than the average!

In other words, the area near Kuala Lumpur and Selangor is not bad, with abundant resources and the people don’t have to go hungry every day.

But it is true that after a day of hard work, ordinary people can only barely get enough food and clothing.

At the same time, the steward opened an Adventurer's Guild in a place in the central square area of ​​the city and recruited a group of staff.

The individual professionals who had heard of the Adventurer's Guild a long time ago couldn't wait to register as adventurers.

Of course, there are also mercenaries in the city.

However, these mercenaries are not as large as those in the royal city, and are composed of low-level professionals.

Upon hearing that the lord was the rumored president of the Adventurer's Guild, they immediately rushed to the guild to register as an adventure group.

Anyway, as long as they have the identity of adventurers, they can also enjoy the benefits of the Adventurer's Guild, which has no impact on mercenaries like them.

In just one day, hundreds of professionals in the city became adventurers.

There is an adaptation period for a newly opened guild, and adventurers need to adapt to various rules.

As the lord, Annuo began to consider issuing various commissions to the guild.

This is simple. Adelaide and Liz have basically been patrolling the territory these days.

The locations of various monsters in the territory, and even some bandits, were recorded by Liz.

All those who posed a greater threat to the villages and towns were eliminated by Liz.

The remaining ones that were not very strong were commissioned by Annuo and sent to the guild to be used for training adventurers.

These small commissions don't cost much at all.

Moreover, Anno made a lot of money during the time he stayed in the Dwarf Kingdom.

Annuo now has tens of millions of gold coins in his hands.

But although it seems like a lot, if you want to expand the city, tens of millions of gold coins are not too much.

But Annuo had no intention of directly developing Xuelong City into a city like the royal city of Sodar.

Moreover, as long as Xuelong City develops, it can continue to create wealth for Annuo.

"My Lord, the professional instructor in the city has been brought here."

After a few days of adaptation, Ella has gradually adapted to her new identity.

When you meet Anno in public, call him "Lord".

Only when no one is around at night will I call Master Anno.

An Nuo, who was sitting in the office, was processing the various documents in front of him. He replied without even looking up: "Let them in."

Less than two minutes after Ella left, several professionals walked in with their heads bent.

After seeing An Nuo, several people said respectfully: "Lord, we have submitted an application to the headquarters, asking them to send a stronger mentor to Xuelong City to serve."

The strength of these people are all at level three, which is already among the top among the professionals in Xuelong City.

However, in Annuo's opinion, their strength was too weak.

The strength of a city’s professional mentors is also an important factor in attracting talent.

The higher the level of the mentor, the more likely it is to retain local talents and prevent them from moving out, and also to attract professionals from other places to Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.

Other cities can only learn third-level skills.

Xuelongcheng can learn fourth-level, and even fifth-level and sixth-level skills.

When professionals reach a bottleneck in their strength and want to improve their strength, they will naturally gather in Xuelong City.

Even if these people come to Kuala Lumpur and Selangor City just to learn a skill, they can still make contributions to Kuala Lumpur and Selangor City. After all, learning skills costs money.

Of these tuition fees, the professional mentors will keep a portion for daily expenses and hand over a portion to the Six Temples. As the lord, Annuo can also collect 20% as tax.

After An Nuo put down the documents in his hand, he looked up at the few people and said with a smile: "I just had someone discuss the development of professionals with you yesterday, and you have already arranged it today. You are quite quick."

The six professional mentors smiled awkwardly.

They wouldn't want to do that if they could.

Being a mentor in the city, you can earn a lot of money without having to fight monsters.

They stood out from hundreds of competitors for this comfortable job.

But Anno had his soldiers approach them yesterday, asking if they could teach anyone who wanted to learn intermediate skills.

The six people had the same thought at the time: It’s bad, we’re going to lose our jobs!

These third-level professional instructors can't teach any intermediate skills.

It was obvious that Annuo was dissatisfied with their low level and wanted to replace them.

But even though they knew this in their hearts, they didn't dare to refuse.

The person who spoke was not only the lord, but also a high-level powerful person.

To go against An Nuo is like an old man hanging himself - enough of life!

At the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city suddenly saw a convoy appearing on the official road.

There were many adventurer soldiers protecting both sides of the convoy.

"Whose convoy is that?"

"Look at the flag, it's Viscount Renault from Gray City!"

The two soldier captains looked at each other and waited for the convoy to slowly approach.
