Su Yue vaguely sensed that the rules of the Turin world were changing slightly again!
Perhaps it was because of Hastur, the Wind King, and the invasion by the Cthulhu God.
His vision began to blur again.
This time it seems we're not traversing Cloud City!
It wasn't an attack by some kind of terrifying, god-like force that affected Su Yue, but rather a change and evolution of the world's rules!
—Server-wide announcement: "The world of Turin is about to undergo a system update, and the version change will take place in 8 hours!"
"???"
"Holy crap, the version has been updated?"
"Huh? Really? An updated version?!"
The gaming forums exploded!
The previous version involved exchanging money; what new content will appear this time?
Su Yue couldn't help but feel curious. He had just finished allocating his skill points, and now Ereda Gnor had recruited a large number of elven rebels—no, he was the lord of that elven army himself, and was just recalling his old troops!
The high elf troops in Qiwiel originally regarded Ereda Gnor as their supreme commander.
Su Yue rode a giant dragon and headed towards Qiweier City!
"Sleipnir seems to have become increasingly irritable ever since Sebastian appeared! I wonder if he'll be able to fly after advancing to the 6th rank?"
The five-legged horse is based on Odin from Norse mythology.
Su Yue couldn't help but have high expectations for Sleipnir's future development.
But for now, let's examine the situation in Turin, 8 hours?
"Another version update?!"
Gu Longqing: "Boss, did you see the announcement broadcast across the entire server?"
Su Yue asked in confusion, "I see, what are they going to change this time?"
Gu Longqing said, "We don't know either. Logically speaking, the recent update to the gold coin exchange system gave our Dragon Kingdom a huge strategic advantage. The gold coin rankings are basically dominated by the Dragon Kingdom, and we also obtained a lot of powerful resources through this money! After the increase in purchasing power, the overall level and quality of Dragon Kingdom players have risen. Our Dragon Qing Guild is now saying, 'We've never fought such a wealthy battle before.'"
Su Yue laughed and said, "I almost forgot, I haven't spent much of this large sum of money yet."
Gu Longqing said, "However, the content of this version update is quite strange."
"Turin has always been like this."
"Too."
As night fell and dusk swallowed the evening glow, Elisa sent Su Yue a message, seemingly missing him. She promised to cook for him when they returned to reality.
You also need to give him noodles.
Su Yue shook his head. Beauty is a double-edged sword; he has now completely resolved the first internal crisis of the High Elves! Kavlwit has also been dealt with. If he's not mistaken, the Barto Empire is now facing a life-or-death crisis!
If Canaan wants to expand from its sea outlet, the territory of "rowinland" is the best option for a new target. After all, although the Golden Goblet tribe of the Dwarf Empire has launched an attack despite the king's orders, the initiative in the northern fortress is now in the hands of Su Yue.
He hasn't finished digesting the gold mine yet, and the gold mine on Walden Peak is also in dire need of mining. To put it bluntly, Su Yue urgently needs to digest his internal power, just like he does with attribute points, instead of continuing to expand outwards!
The reason for this demand is very simple.
The territory of Qiweier City has a total of seven or eight fortresses, all of which have been looted and destroyed. The reconstruction of these fortresses alone will cost a huge amount of money and time! He also needs to handle and resolve the numerous mines, lumber mills, gem mines, city and base buildings, and the internal affairs of the earldom himself!
"The nobles of the Bato Empire are still somewhat useful; at least they are familiar with ruling their own territories. I should make time to meet with them."
Having expanded the entire Canaanite territory to its current extent, Su Yue felt extremely satisfied and content.
It's not just about improving personal strength and attributes.
His power!
His territory and domain were expanding to the point of encompassing an entire earldom. Canaan's system update was just a glitch, something that would happen in 8 hours anyway.
Su Yue immediately led Gregory to inspect the city of Qiweier. Nothing interesting happened; the entire city of Qiweier was deeply grateful to Lord Su Yue of Canaan!
Those big businessmen, who were originally political figures in the Bato Empire, frantically invited Su Yue to drink and feast.
"Lord Su Yue, let's go enjoy the opera 'Okramere' together tonight! The male lead has been replaced with your avatar; we've found an actor who bears a striking resemblance to you!"
"Lord Su Yue, my family has a daughter who is eighteen years old. I'm afraid you don't have any concubines yet! Our whole family is willing to become your private servants!"
"Lord Su Yue, is your court lacking doctors and maids? Even a wine-serving official will do. I wish to go to the council of Canaan!"
"My lord, do you lack knights? I... I can help you train cavalry!"
Once he gained power, all sorts of attempts to win him over, vie for his favor, and even grovel and beg for his attention came flooding in. Nobles, wealthy merchants, and important figures—rarely seen in Qiweier City before—were now fawning over Su Yue and showering him with attention!
"Lord Su Yue, you are simply a divine being descended to earth! Even the gods in heaven cannot outshine you! I have a mistress who is so beautiful she drives me mad... How about tonight...?"
"Please have a glass of wine with a golden crescent shape to thank you for saving the city of Qiweier!"
As Su Yue walked down the street, he thought to himself that he was not the one who led the attack at all. It was mainly Malekith who defeated Remiel City, triggering a series of chain reactions... But these nobles of Qiwell City were completely different from those stubborn high elves who were not human.
Each one of them was a master of flattery, and each one was more exaggerated than the last.
Some offered their daughters and treasures, hoping to become his cavalry attendants; others wanted to serve him wine in the palace; still others wanted to be his maids, to secure a future for their children; some unscrupulous merchants hoped to bribe him with donations; some municipal officials wanted to repair damaged land, demanding a whopping 500,000 gold coins! And some nobles hoped for a restoration, yearning for him to bestow upon them an official position.
Su Yue thought to himself, "Humans are still the most interesting... Damn it, when I got to Remiel, not a single one of them fawned over me. Well, Chiwell City is the only city in Kavlwit that hasn't been completely conquered, and it's also a prosperous merchant capital with thriving maritime trade!"
"They really enjoy the feeling of frantically licking him."
Su Yue wasn't heartless; in an attempt to win him over, he casually recruited a few special NPCs whose attributes were indeed quite good.
—Frey Bares, the top fishing tycoon in Chiwell City; this guy has a thick beard, wears a horned hat, and is dressed in dark clothes with leather and boots. His face shows a sharp glint. This guy is a level 5 special NPC, a fishing tycoon.
Schneider Lancelot, the guild leader, always had a serious expression. He was highly respected and had a great reputation in Qiweier City; he was the kind of refined, elderly gentleman who was almost like a sage.
As for the groveling priest from the Holy See standing nearby, Su Yue completely ignored them. His main church in Canaan was, on the one hand, a demonic cult, and he had absolutely no interest in the Holy See. What? Archangel Europa is your core subordinate? You want to follow the Holy See? Between the Abyss and Cthulhu, which of these two demigod powers has a friendly relationship with Heaven? Europa is on the verge of falling!! She can't return to Heaven any longer!
Su Yue chose the old man Schneider Lancelot because the city of Chiwell really needed the support and help of the union. For example, the predecessor of the Eastern Expeditionary Rebellion was a group of "poor people"—the union members of the textile workers of Bruj.
A guild is not a union.
The union is a spontaneous organization composed of the working class of Qiweier City. Unlike the guy Frey Barres, whose face is full of self-interest and personal desires, Schneider Lancelot, the union leader, is a rare existence with a holy soul. With Su Yue's current status as a demigod, he can clearly sense the difference in the nobility and baseness of souls!
Is it a pure soul, an ugly and despicable soul, or a normal, ordinary soul? Schneider Lancelot, this guy, is incredibly noble, seemingly dirty, and his eyes aren't sharp. When Su Yue specifically named him for recruitment, even he himself was somewhat surprised!
Everyone was shocked and exclaimed, "Lord Su Yue is actually so wise?!"
"Schneider Lancelot was recruited by the Su Yue ruler without even saying a word?"
"Truly a hero on the white horse!! Heroes appreciate each other. Lord Schneider Lancelot was also a hero who saved people from suffering when he was young!"
Schneider Lancelot said, "My lord, I will manage the workers of Chiwell City for you!"
Su Yue patted him on the shoulder. These were all characters from his own territory, different from those in the High Elves' Remiel territory, and also different from the situation with the Dwarves!
The northern fortresses are all inhabited by dwarves!
Damn it, Su Yue is really hard to communicate with. On the other hand, Qiweier City not only controls a large amount of Canaan's local goods, but it is also the only complete human territory with an intact overall layout among the ruins besides Canaan and Kafulwit!
This gave Su Yue a special feeling about Qiweier City. Their social class, power structure, and status were all very worthy of study and learning! So, while it seemed that Su Yue was appointing and dismissing people, he was actually learning and adapting to the urban power structure of the Bato Empire! This was a very important lesson for a lord.
Su Yue learned a lot.
The third one is an extremely beautiful female writer named Ellisine, a socialite in Qiwei City!! This woman is a famous writer who claims to be publishing a biography of the Canaan Territory. Su Yue doesn't care whether she's publishing a book or a biography; the important thing is that the blonde, blue-eyed woman in front of him is really beautiful!! She looks exactly like his ideal woman.
As a ruler and a monarch, Su Yue naturally had the right to choose the people he liked to support.
Jane Ellersteen gazed at Su Yue with a gentle expression, her gaze softening further.
She realized that she had only seen Su Yue, this important figure, once in a noble council meeting, and it was as if she had fallen in love with him. Her feelings and needs perfectly overlapped with those of this valiant and domineering lord who had saved Qiweier City from peril!
Fourth place went to Viscount Anleg, a local nobleman from Qiweier City! He swore allegiance to Su Yue, kneeling on one knee to express his loyalty and asking for help in resolving Su Yue's troubles and in gaining control of a powerful army and influence!
The fifth one is Magnum, the sailor Su Yue had met at sea before!
Magnum had met Su Yue once before, when the High Elves went to the Barayamakan mudflats to fight. Now, upon seeing him again, Magnum knelt down excitedly and kissed Su Yue's instep.
It's gotten to this point!
Su Yue also planned to give this Tier 4 NPC "Captain" a new position: the Governor of Ships of Qiweier City!
Magnum exclaimed in shock, "My lord, I am but a mere sailor!"
Su Yue thought to himself, "Your attributes don't lie. A talented NPC is a talented one." He waved his hand and confirmed the appointment, issuing the appointment and dismissal documents through the clerks of Qiweier City.
In terms of personnel appointments and removals, Qiweier City basically maintained the original power structure of the Bato Empire, except that the core personnel had changed, and they had all become Su Yue's subordinates and confidants.
As Su Yue possesses the power of a divine ruler, his subordinates and troops are 100% loyal to him!
Since their loyalty is 100%, neither Free Bares nor the guild leader Slander, nor Magnum and the others could possibly betray Su Yue. Moreover, they are indeed capable and valuable individuals!
After all this arrangement, it was already night.
The victory celebration was held in Chiwell.
That night, amidst the clinking of glasses and lively conversation, the Canaanite territory entered a brand new chapter!
