Chapter 666: How to Govern the Territory
Riding on the flying carriage, Avis and his party quickly arrived at their destination.
Silver Gull City is located west of the Migaro Mountains, on a plain where a tributary of the Yanila River passes. It is the only large city in Fiona's territory and is named after the large number of silver-winged seagulls that migrate through the area every autumn.
The smaller Iron Forge City, Black Rock City and others are located hundreds of miles away from Silver Gull City in a pincer-shaped formation, helping each other.
Originally, these cities and nearby territories belonged directly to the Olivendi family and did not have an independent name.
But now, with Fiona taking office, this territory has a new name [Star Territory].
The original officials in each city are still in charge of their original positions, but now their allegiance has changed to Fiona.
As a girl in a solemn white dress stepped down from the carriage and showed the lord's seal ring representing supreme power to several consuls who had been waiting there, the lord's position was officially handed over.
This scene was recorded by magic by countless people nearby with different thoughts, and quickly sent to the forces behind them.
Soon, the news that Fiona officially became the lord exploded across the empire like a bomb.
Due to the numerous rumors about the girl, the name Fiona was already a hot topic in the empire. Now that she had become the lord, the popularity had reached its peak.
Many famous newspapers and magazines, such as the Imperial Morning Post and Magic Times, published the news of Fiona's appointment as the lord of the Star Territory on their front pages, and spent a lot of space describing the currently known information about the girl.
Although there were not many details, it was enough for more people to have a basic impression and understanding of Fiona. Fiona's appearance became a household name, which made the girl who had never experienced such a scene very uncomfortable.
The Olivendi family didn't care about this at all. After all, their purpose was to fish, and the increased public attention Fiona received would not harm the outcome.
Moreover, as the news spread, the number of players in the Star Territory suddenly began to increase dramatically.
Fiona's pure and flawless temperament and delicate, doll-like cute appearance won the favor of a large number of players at the first sight of her photo in the newspaper.
The lsp players were very happy to see a beautiful girl become the city lord, and many players came specially to see with their own eyes this girl who was praised as the legendary star of prophecy.
After all, she is so cute, she will definitely be an excellent lord.
While the various forces in the empire have not taken this situation seriously, Anvis also met with some club representatives in the Secret Ceremony and asked them to use the "foreigner channel" to let as many players as possible know about Fiona's reputation.
Avis would pay them with the cultivation resources and gold coins of this world. Since he could see the player's panel, Avis didn't worry that they would not work hard.
He knows the players' personalities too well. Most of them are appearance-oriented and believe that beautiful girls are justice.
With this promotion today, when the empire is in a full-scale civil war in the future, many players will naturally stand on Fiona's side, unless the leader of the other side is more to their liking.
And most importantly, with the development of time, there are now more than 100,000 first-tier players who have successfully completed the job transfer task through various means, officially breaking through to level 40 and becoming mid-level professionals.
Players whose characters are not talented enough, or who took drugs in the early stages and made the mission too difficult, chose to restart the game.
The job transfer tasks clearly displayed on the players' panels are their biggest advantage.
Since they already had the experience of breaking through to the fourth level the first time, it was almost certain that they would be able to break through when they faced this hurdle again.
This is a pretty terrifying thing, representing that the influence of the player group in this world has broken through a critical dividing line.
At present, the population of the entire Yar continent is only about a few billion, and on average one out of every ten people has the talent to become a professional.
However, among hundreds of first-level professionals, there may be one person who successfully condenses the spiritual power crystal/completes the first physical transformation and breaks through to the fourth level.
In the small and medium-sized kingdoms of the Federation, fourth-level professionals are at least at the officer level in the army.
Under such circumstances, the group of foreigners has gone from being a concern only for a few far-sighted high-level people to an existence that most indigenous people have to take seriously.
The culture belonging to players began to quietly become popular in this world.
During the first few months in office, Fiona felt very fresh about being a lord. She was very enthusiastic to follow Anvis in handling daily affairs, wanting to learn how to govern her own territory.
But as time went by, the repetitive work day after day soon dampened the girl's initial excitement.
So, Fiona started to try to slack off again, and like the lords of other cities, she entrusted daily affairs to her adjutant Anvis, while she was responsible for public appearances, approving applications, and changing her appearance to take the two little ones to play in the city.
All these developments were completely within Avis' expectations.
He specifically applied for the position of Fiona's adjutant in order to take the opportunity to develop this territory in an honest and upright manner.
Governing a territory does not require the girl to do everything herself. Fiona's greatest value as the lord of Star Territory is her own extraordinary destiny and her role as an idol. Through her fame, more people can know the news here.
The legendary Star of Prophecy, this resounding name will attract many curious people to come to the Star Territory.
Therefore, under the wise rule of Lord Fiona, Silver Gull City gradually began to expand, and the proportion of foreigners among the town residents continued to increase.
The arrival of a large number of players is a double-edged sword. The advantage is that it brings a lot of fresh blood to the city, but the disadvantage is that public security problems begin to increase.
Fortunately, after a long period of gaming, the performance of many players in the game has returned to normal.
At least that's what the players themselves think.
High-level players tend to be more restrained because they usually die several times in the early stages, and each subsequent resurrection opportunity is extremely valuable, so dying once is a huge loss.
Some clubs with a keen sense of smell have even begun to invest in Yinou City in advance, acquiring a large amount of land and shops that are open to outsiders.
Avis spared no expense in asking them to build momentum among the players for the young lord named Fiona. I'm afraid he had big plans for this.
Since Anvis met with them in the identity of Fiona's adjutant Levin Boley, the club's plot analysis team believed that this was most likely the intention of the top management of the Olivendi family.
They are betting that Silver Gull City will become the next super city in the province of Karlas in the future, and their investment today will also bring huge returns.
