Chapter 438 Shocking News

After reading the battle power list, Lin You had a basic understanding of the strength of other ninth-level lords.

Especially those at the front, probably those old monsters who have lived for dozens or even hundreds of years.

Over such a long period of time, the accumulation of resources is extremely terrifying.

His greatest sources of strength now come from fragments of the godhead, the royal family, and mutation abilities.

This is also the reason why he is superior to other lords.

But those ninth-order old monsters are different. Over the long years, they must have acquired many powerful means to improve their strength.

Even if it can't compare to mutant powers and royal families, it won't be too far behind.

Therefore, his biggest advantage over these old monsters is still the fragments of the divine nature.

Because this is something that the old monsters most likely don't have, otherwise they would have been upgraded to level ten long ago.

Think of this.

Lin You continued to slide the leaderboard and continued to check the rankings above.

It was not until there were more than 300 people that the first person from the Great Wilderness Principality appeared.

No. 347: Wei Heng [Great Wilderness Principality] 32200 This Wei Heng should be the strongest ninth-level person in the Great Wilderness Principality.

Being ranked more than 300th in the entire continent is enough to show how powerful he is.

Lin You silently memorized the name and slid down the rankings again.

Then he discovered that the names of a small number of people were hidden, and only their country information and combat power values ​​were displayed.

“Is there a hidden function?”

Lin You looked puzzled.

After searching carefully, I found a hidden option under the list interface.

As soon as my fingers touched, a reminder suddenly sounded in my mind.

【Do you want to hide your name? 】

[Once hidden, others will not be able to view your name information, and you can unhide it at any time. ]

What a great feature!

I didn’t expect that this list would be so user-friendly, with the freedom to hide names.

In this way, there is no need to worry about one's specific strength being exposed.

"hide!"

Without hesitation, Lin You chose to hide.

Next second.

His name disappeared from the list, leaving only the words "Great Wilderness Principality" and combat power information on it.

It’s really convenient.

After looking for a while and finding nothing missing, he nodded with satisfaction, then closed the interface and went to rest in the tree house.

The surroundings of the territory gradually fell into silence.

No words were spoken that night.

The next morning, Lin You, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by a burst of busy sounds.

After Huangsha City was upgraded to the ninth level, the entire city became more lively.

Many people who received the news came by airship, and the people of Huangsha City also began to speed up construction and plan the new land under the leadership of Xue Changgui.

The first thing Lin You did when he woke up was to open the territory interface and take a look.

After a day, the liquid funds increased by more than one million.

At least there was no embarrassing situation of having no money to pay workers.

However, his territory had just been upgraded, and it was a critical time for outward development and expansion, so this amount of money was not enough.

Moreover, he still has seventy or eighty military positions vacant, and has no magic power to recruit troops.

We have to find a way to make money.

But the problem is.

Now that he can neither go to the monster plane nor the border battlefield, he has already sold all the treasures he can.

It's very embarrassing.

After getting up and washing up briefly, he walked down the tree house and came to the tower of troops.

Yesterday I had so many things to do that I forgot to research the arms.

I clicked on the building interface and took a look. The materials required for upgrading were already complete. Without hesitation, I chose to upgrade directly.

Swish! A flash of light passed by, and various materials quickly gathered together.

The Arms Tower, which originally had only eight floors, was quickly increased to nine floors.

[Building name: Arms Tower]

[Building level: ninth level]

[Building Introduction: You can research the advanced forms of existing soldiers to make them recruitable. This requires the consumption of magic energy. The level of the soldiers cannot exceed the level of the building.]

[Research speed: 30 days]

[Number of research: 0/2]

[Required for upgrading: 50,000 wood, 50,000 stone, 25,000 iron ore, 25,000 copper ore, 1 million mana, 9th-level territory essence x1]

Huh? The number of research items has actually become two? Looking at the changes in the upgraded interface, Lin You couldn't help but feel happy.

In this way, he can study two types of troops at a time, which is much more efficient than before.

Immediately open the research interface and find the research option for plant dragons.

[Researching the ninth-order common soldiers will consume 2.5 million mana. Are you sure? ]

So expensive And it happened to be when he was the poorest.

Lin You took a look at the 2.7 million magic powers left in his pocket from yesterday's mutation, gritted his teeth, and chose to confirm.

As for the remaining research position, we will have to wait until we have more money.

"My Lord, I need to see you for something."

At this moment, Xu Zhong's voice suddenly sounded outside the territory.

Lin You closed the interface, looked outside, and asked Qing Teng to make way for them.

After a while.

Xu Zhong, with an excited look on his face, hurriedly appeared with two followers.

"Greetings, Lord."

The three of them bowed respectfully to Lin You.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?" Lin You asked.

"My Lord, we just received news from the flying dock that the king's envoy has come to discuss the opening of a trade route with us."

"The king's envoy?"

Lin You was slightly surprised.

The king actually wants to open a trade route here? This is incredible.

If the deal goes through, then his Huangsha City will be connected to the capital of the principality, which will definitely be great news for him.

"Where is the envoy now?" Lin You asked hurriedly.

"We're already in the reception hall."

"Okay, you guys go ahead, I'll be there soon."

After saying that, Lin You turned around and went back to the tree house to change into the lord's clothes that the people had made for him. After a simple tidying up, he rode directly on the Demon Emperor Dragon and rushed to Huangsha City with Ling Xi.

Soon, he arrived above the reception hall in the center of the city and somersaulted to the ground.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"The Lord is here!"

Wei Gang, who was guarding outside the hall, hurried over with his men.

Lin You raised his hand to signal them, then quickly walked into the reception hall and saw the king's envoy.

It turned out to be the ninth-level lord, Shen Hui, who had exchanged the Origin Fruit for him before.

"Brother Lin You, we meet again. I hope I didn't disturb you."

Shen Hui, who was standing in the middle of the hall, turned around and looked at Lin You with a smile. He looked much kinder than before and even changed his address to "brother".

At this time, Lin You was no longer the same person as before. He had become a ninth-level lord like him.

Naturally, we can no longer be negligent like before.

Sensing his change, Lin You smiled slightly: "Brother, I welcome you so much, please take a seat."

As they spoke, the two of them came and sat down at the side seats.

After the servants brought the tea, Shen Hui took the lead and said, "The last time we met was about half a month ago, right? I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, my brother has been promoted to the ninth level. I will first offer you a glass of tea instead of wine, and congratulate you on your promotion."

"Brother Shen, you are too polite. I should be the one to toast you."

Lin You smiled and raised the teacup in his hand.

He dared not underestimate Shen Hui.

After all, he is a capable subordinate of the king, and his status and position are unmatched by other lords.

Moreover, Lin You also had the impression that Shen Hui's combat power was not low, and he was considered to be one of the stronger ones among the old lords of the ninth level.

And judging from his appearance, he must be at least 50 or 60 years old.

"I guess Brother Lin You already knows the purpose of my visit this time, right?"

After serving tea, Shen Hui put down the teacup and got straight to the point.

"Does the king really intend to open a trade route between the royal capital and Huangsha City?" Lin You couldn't help but ask.

"Of course." Shen Hui nodded. "I received an order from the king himself and came here to discuss things with you, brother. What do you think?"

"Of course there is no problem on my side."

nonsense.

That’s the royal capital.

It is the largest and most prosperous city in the entire principality and also the center of the entire principality.

As long as the trade route can be opened, his Huangsha City will definitely take off quickly and catch up with the old lord's territory level in a short time.

"Since you have no objection, I won't say any more nonsense. I will ask someone to come over to discuss the details. Please bear with me."

"Of course." Lin You nodded slightly.

Just leave this kind of thing to your subordinates. There's no need to waste time on it.

In addition to the opening of the trade route, Lin You has another very important thing to do.

So after pondering for a while, he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Shen, you are an old man around the king, you should know a lot of information, there is one thing I want to inquire about."

"You want to ask about the monster plane and the border battlefield?"

Shen Hui had a sharp eye and could see through Lin You's thoughts at a glance.

Lin You was not surprised by this. After all, this matter had become a hot topic and many people were trying to get information.

The reason why I asked Shen Hui was because he was the king's right-hand man and might know something.

As expected.

In response to his question, the smile on Shen Hui's face gradually faded and he became serious.

"This matter shouldn't be spread casually." His voice was very low and his eyes were solemn. "But since you asked, I will reveal a little bit. I hope you don't spread it casually."

"Okay!" Lin You nodded seriously.

Then Shen Hui took a deep breath and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Actually, I just heard from others that Emperor Shengyao seemed to be seriously injured!"

"Are you sure!?" Lin You took a breath and leaned back slightly.

Emperor Shengyao was seriously injured? How is this possible!

"It should be correct. I also heard that the situation of other emperors is not good either. They seem to have suffered varying degrees of injuries."

"this"

Lin You opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

My heart was shocked to the point where it could not be more shocked.

With Shen Hui's qualifications, the news network is definitely terrifying.

In other words, what he mentioned is very likely to be true!

What exactly happened?

How could so many emperors be injured?

"Have you found out the reason?" Lin You asked in a low voice.

"No." Shen Hui shook his head. "The higher-ups probably don't want to cause panic, so they blocked all the news. All we can do is wait."

"so."

Lin You murmured to himself, and his tense mood gradually relaxed.

Since the news can be suppressed, it should not have developed to an irreversible point, which made him feel relieved.

And just as Shen Hui said.

All they can do now is wait.
