When Su Yue returned, the rebellion in the Canaanite territory had been largely resolved.
"We have captured the traitor who poisoned the well."
"Sir, what do you think we should do?"
Su Yue said, "Eric, you can handle this yourself."
"yes!"
He planned to capture and imprison all these guys, interrogate them thoroughly, and see if he could get any useful information. Su Yue returned to his territory with a force of nearly 3,000, which had been further reinforced by a large number of ratmen and dwarves.
Besides fighting, most of these dwarves were sent by Su Yue to join the blacksmith shop to continue forging iron.
He lacks funds in his territory.
However, Abraham had previously transferred a huge sum of 5 million gold coins from the Silver Palace, which was about to arrive in the territory.
"And Abraham?"
Su Yue looked at Jin Xiuer with a surprised expression. He hadn't expected Jin Xiuer's appearance to have changed.
Overnight, Kim Soo-ah, who was like a young girl, seemed to have grown up.
She's grown into a graceful young woman?
It's like a girl suddenly transforms into a woman who doesn't know how to dress or put on makeup.
He wouldn't know unless he checked.
Upon inspection.
His expression was one of astonishment.
"Jin Xiuer (fifth-tier succubus bloodline, half-demon, unique in gold), profession: god-level architect..."
"Wow, you advanced?"
Jin Xiuer thought to herself, "I absorbed the Lord's spiritual power, of course I advanced!"
He's a succubus, after all.
The more spiritual energy she absorbs, the faster she can improve her strength!
Elisa, naturally busy in her own territory, was also a player and lord in the Dragon Kingdom. Su Yue distributed a portion of the spoils and gold coins to the players, and even helped them replenish the numbers of their fallen troops, which naturally drew cheers from Zhou Zhuo and the others. For those races without Dark Elves or whose troops couldn't be replenished, such as Elf troops, Su Yue directly provided money and gold coins!
If you don't have troops, just trade at the auction house!
Jin Xiuer said, "Master, we've reached the fourth level of the council! Would you like to take a look?"
"certainly."
Su Yue's main purpose in returning was naturally to develop his territory, now that the council has been promoted to level four!
He surveyed the territory, which was now much larger than before.
Lord's Log: "Your territory has been upgraded from Lv.3 to Lv.4, and you have gained a Tier 4 Council. However, the building level bonus does not apply to upgrading buildings. The Divine Architect trait has not yet taken effect. Please try again!"
"A fourth-tier territory has increased the size of your territory!"
Su Yue discovered that on the map shrouded in the fog of war, the area of his territory had increased significantly!
If the territory previously looked like an egg tart on the map, now that it's at level four, it looks more like a giant mango.
"Cool!"
This feeling of leveling up while lying down is truly unparalleled. Just thinking about how other players in the Turin world are working themselves to the bone while he can leisurely enjoy Jin Xiuer's service, sitting aside and drinking tea like a master, makes Su Yue not want to move.
"No, this laziness absolutely cannot be allowed to continue..."
He promptly stood up to check on the situation of the Fourth Order Council.
"Does the fourth-tier council have one more advisor position than the third-tier council?"
Who should we choose?
The current parliamentary attributes provide three types of support.
—"First Councilor: Charles Louis Napoleon Bonaparte (Napoleon III), the territory receives the Councilor's blessing: Productivity +40%, Territory Maintenance -40%."
—"Second Representative: Kim Soo-ah, Farmer Labor Demand -30%"
—"First General: Europa, Territory attack tempo +45%, movement speed +30%."
——"First Advisor: (Vacant)"
Su Yue opened the panel and looked at the council attributes of the lord's hall.
With 40% productivity and -40% maintenance costs, Abraham's influence allowed Su Yue's territory to gain an early lead over others, creating a significant advantage in revenue and expenditure without worrying about balancing the budget! Furthermore, there was no concern about excessive building maintenance costs; the nearly 50% reduction in maintenance fees meant that Su Yue's expenses for building maintenance, repairs, and renovations were correspondingly reduced.
Kim Soo-ah further increased the farmers' labor capacity and accelerated the construction of the territory.
-30% labor demand: what used to require 3 people can now be done by 2 people.
What is an advantage if there is one more person going out?
Europa, on the other hand, increased attack speed, marching speed, and attack speed, making Su Yue's troops exceptionally fierce! This was due to the lord's blessing, and there was also a hidden blessing attribute behind it.
Gregory's 'Noble One': The host's territory's citizens' rebellion probability -5%, territory residents' fatigue -10%, territory residents' endurance +10%.
This led to the integration of multiple ethnic groups in the Su-Yue territory.
Probability of defection.
Furthermore, the work cap for farmers in the territory has been increased...
"But who should be chosen as the first advisor to this council?"
Su Yue began to ponder.
He actually preferred to choose Idya, the noble lady of Cthulhu, and it wouldn't be unreasonable for her to be chosen. However, the members of the council have jobs to do; it's not like you can just make a choice and then they stop doing nothing.
"It shouldn't be a problem to hold a sinecure."
"But let's forget it. What if Idya leaves one day?" Su Yue's concern for Idya was understandable, given that she was an uncontrollable character. Assigning a position to a powerful evil god beyond the ninth rank without her consent wasn't a good thing; it might even damage his goodwill.
He asked, "By the way, Xiuer, after I left, did any other god-level special NPCs appear in our territory?"
"Oh, sir, how did you know?"
Su Yue covered her forehead. "Are you all so slow? You have news but don't tell me."
The lord's log is too long and too messy.
It's impossible for him to go through every single entry. The Lord's Log includes: people's livelihood, citizen status, war section, scout reconnaissance section, mining and harvesting records, system prompts, and so on. It's quite difficult for Su Yue to extract a single piece of information from so much data.
Therefore, sometimes we can only find out about it afterward.
"I am not an all-knowing and all-powerful god."
"You will become a god."
Kim Soo-ah smiled and said that.
She continued, "That god-level NPC is a bit special; it doesn't seem to be of much use for the time being."
"oh?"
Should we call him over and take a look?
"Now?"
"Yes, right now."
A god-level NPC? It would be a lie to say Su Yue wasn't curious. Just consider the development of their territory—just look at the immense advantage that a god-level architect like Jin Xiuer had provided! The council council beneath their feet, the shrine of the gods, all sorts of top-tier buildings, and the dragon port that Abraham and Su Yue were currently preparing—weren't these all advantages that only a god-level architect could bring?
Without a god-level architect, what kind of high-level blueprints can you build?
We can only build mud houses.
Architects also need to be proficient in engineering and various architectural disciplines; being at the god-level means possessing all of these construction skills, which Jin Xiuer has mastered. Moreover, now that she has advanced to the fifth rank, her looks and figure have become even more striking.
"You used to seem so childish, mischievous, and cute. How come you've grown up so much after this promotion?"
Looking at Jin Xiuer's flowing black hair, Su Yue felt a sense of 'a girl next door has just come of age, hidden away in her chamber, unknown to the world.' This change in the woman was fine if left unnoticed, but once Su Yue noticed it, he vaguely sensed that something was amiss.
