Extraordinary Mechanical City

Chapter 296: The shock of the mission

On this day, a team under the banner of the Golden Griffon of the Omar Empire passed through the Black Dragon Pass and came to the Black Dragon City.

A group of hundreds of people, the majestic silver knights in the team opened the way, and a huge team of servants and servants. The clothes of these people are embroidered with the family heraldic pattern of the double-headed eagle, which is surprisingly from the "Spencer family" of the top veteran nobles in Omar.

Today's Black Dragon City, the city area is more than ten times larger than before.

The city is backed by the Alcoron Mountains, and there is no shortage of stones here. Under the unified planning of the municipal officials, the refugees quarried stone and built a wall of tens of meters high, the first ring, the second ring... until now it has reached the sixth ring.

Seeing this male city built on land in the distance, the members of the Omar Mission were all shocked.

In the team, a middle-aged man with a brown mustache and a handsome white-faced young man talked.

"This Black Dragon City is really incredible. It has developed into such a sight in less than a year. It is indeed a miracle. With such a population size, in the empire, I am afraid that only the imperial capital Usenbar can compare..."

"Hehe, my father, it's just that the location of the Black Dragon City is good enough. Ymir doesn't know where such good luck really made her find such a pass and build a new city west of the Alcoron Mountains. .There are high-level monsters, corpse tides, and rich coal mines in this basin. I heard that large-scale gold and silver mines have been explored in the north recently... This Black Dragon City really has all the advantages. Oh. If this place is given to me, I can also make a heroic city!"

"Frank, don't underestimate Ymir, her talent is recognized by the empire. At least, it is not something ordinary people can do to make those savages tamed to do things for her."

"Father, don’t forget, no matter how powerful she is, she is nothing more than a woman. However, I did not expect that there are so many subdragon species of beasts here. If the flying dragon legion is in our control, our Spencer family must Will become the strongest family in the empire!"

"Indeed. If you can master the ‘Invincible Legion’ of the Flying Dragon Legion, this Black Dragon City will naturally be out of the question. But then again, how did Ymir make those savages so obedient..."

"Let's just ask Yumir directly. Anyway, after seeing you, your father, she will call you uncle..."

"..."

A group of people walked unhappily.

Not long after, a spy from Heishuitai came over and brought a dense scroll of intelligence written.

"Master Duke, all information has been confirmed. Her Royal Highness is the'Prime Minister' of Black Dragon City, um...the most powerful person in the city."

"Hehe, isn't this the lord yet? It's just a confusing remark. What about Ren Hermes?"

"We have determined that City Lord Rennes has no real power, and he hardly participates in political discussions on weekdays, and is managed by Her Royal Highness the Princess and the council. But..."

"But what?"

"However, I heard that City Lord Wren is the man of the eldest princess."

"..."

The system of Black Dragon City is different from any other city, and the names of many positions are completely unknown to people.

As soon as the middle-aged eight-character Hu heard the report from his subordinates, his eyes were as expected, even slightly sarcasm.

Hehe, what is the "Prime Minister", isn't it just the lord who changed his term?

Hearing this, the young man on the side didn't look pretty, and he asked: "Then Renn is Yumir's man?"

Spy: "Yes. But it's just a rumor from the people in the city. As far as I know, Her Royal Highness Princess has not admitted this relationship in any public."

Hearing this, the white-faced young man's expression was slightly relieved, and he murmured: "This is strange. Since I didn't admit it, why not stop the rumors..."

The shrewd luster in the middle-aged eight-character Hu's eyes flashed, but he felt as if he had guessed the truth, and smiled: "So, this Ymir is as smart as ever."

After a pause, he said: "If what I expected is not bad, she probably expected the empire to make a fuss about the marriage, so she made such a half-truth shield."

As the young man listened, his brows were completely loosened.

The corner of his mouth raised slightly, and said, "That's right. At the beginning, the imperial capital looked down upon Junjie, so how could he find an unknown person to be a man."

.......

And when the Omar delegation came, it was a mountainous area hundreds of miles away from Black Dragon City.

Here dark clouds obscure the sun, lightning and thunder, it is a rainy day with a large thunderstorm.

Under this kind of bad weather, even large monsters can't be avoided. On the highest mountain, a burly figure was meditating cross-legged.

"Crack!"

From time to time, a beam of strong lightning pierced the sky, as if being pulled, and smashed precisely on the figure.

After the lightning strike, the figure stood still.

Until half an hour later, the thunderstorm gradually dissipated.

The slashed figure stood up. He looked up at the scattered thundercloud and said to himself: "It's over again. The body can resist 500 million volts of lightning. Look. Next time you can try stronger lightning..."

As the voice fell, the golden lacquer-like metallic luster on his body gradually disappeared, returning to his normal complexion.

And those wounds burned by thunder and lightning also healed instantly under the warm sun of the healing technique.

After beckoning, a huge thunderbird flew down from the clouds and turned into a palm-sized thunderbird. It landed on his head and pecks affectionately.

This person is naturally Wren who practiced alone in the wilderness.

The method of thunder and lightning is also familiar, and there is no need for someone to follow it to prevent accidents. Although the Karatwa Basin has entered the thunderstorm season, it is not always near the Black Dragon City.

There are thunder crows that can accurately perceive thunder elements in the air, and Renn can always accurately find areas of thunderstorms. So in the past half month, he has been chasing thunderclouds outside and running around.

Walking to the stone wall in the distance, Ren picked up his clothes and put them on.

Only then did I find that the clothes were a little tight.

He raised his eyebrows, feeling quite satisfied, and murmured: "The muscles have grown again..."

His arms crossed for a night, his clothes covered his whole body with knotted muscles, his body like a humanoid monster was covered, and his domineering aura also dampened.

In the past six months, [Voodoo Master]’s potions have been digested, the vindictiveness has skyrocketed by a factor of two, and the number of gong threads has also skyrocketed; and because of this secret method of tempering the body by lightning, his body has become stronger and stronger, [Hercules Jue]’s body refining progress is incredibly fast, and it has reached the point where it is small in the "Shengang Realm", and its strength is nearly three times that of the previous one.

Even Kanosa was shocked by this progress. Not to talk about the transcendent realm, she can only be worthy of the "shengang realm" by just talking about the secret method of refining the body.

The results of Rennes's practice in the past six months are comparable to her ten years of hard work.

Rennes got dressed and wanted to leave, but at this moment, a black shadow passed by and leaped straight towards Renn's back.

It was a Tier 4 [Dragon Scale Snow Leopard] that had been lurking for a long time. It was eight meters long, and its feet and head were covered with scales. This is a common dragon creature in the basin. It is fast, can spray frost, and has amazing bite force...

This kind of warcraft, even if the ordinary fourth-order transcendent encounters, it will have a headache.

The fishy wind rushed its nose, and it bit towards Renn with its mouth wide open, as if it was planning to eat this lone human.

Renn listened to the movement behind him, his ears moved slightly, his eyes shot out a bit of bitterness.

The conditioned reflex was normal, his right fist condensed a strong purple vindictiveness, and he turned to face the huge figure with a punch. Xingyun Liushui's fist seemed to have eyes, and hit the snow leopard's back waist.

"Boom!"

As if to hear a fragile sound of bone cracking.

That cheetah weighing several tons was blown out by a punch!

The claw that was originally enough to break the Tier 4 magic shield left only a few painless scratches on Renn's golden skin, which disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Snapped!"

With a bang on the ground, Ren's figure rushed into a hundred meters, his fists smashed past it like rain, and the snow leopard that had not yet reacted to the ground with a violent hammer.

One person and one leopard started fighting on this hillside.

A quarter of an hour later, there were potholes blasted by external forces everywhere on this hillside. The snow leopard, which had been alive and well, was soaked in blood by the hammer, lying on the ground unable to move.

Ren stood up, looked at the monster body on the ground, and took a few breaths. In a blink of an eye, all the bite wounds on his body that were famous enough for ordinary third-order transcendents were all healed.

Traveling alone in the wilderness, encountering monsters is normal, and he is also used to it.

In the realm of the black wind collar, he encountered this Tier 4 [Dragon Scale Snow Leopard], and he might not have been able to beat ten of them.

But today, martial arts have long been integrated.

In the system dream, there are no more than ten moves against the "Umm". The skyrocketing power and martial arts allowed him to easily kill the old opponent before.

Ren put away the snow leopard's body and put on his clothes.

At this moment, Ymir's voice sounded from the strange conch-like device next to the clothes.

"Rene, you go back to the territory, Omar is here."

"Great."

This is the "Goblin Communicator", a biological communicator created by Father Tuster based on the goblin blueprint.

The function is a bit like a walkie-talkie, which can be used for long-distance communication under special conditions.

But it is not electricity, but bioelectricity.

This "communication snail" is alive, a pair.

He has one in his hand, and Ymir has one.

.......

Because the Black Dragon City was built on the ground, the streets were not as narrow as the Mechanical City.

The roads are paved with bluestone and people come and go, which is very lively.

The visiting group from Omar entered the city with a high profile, and this line of gorgeously dressed aristocratic masters naturally attracted the attention of passers-by.

However, unlike the treatment in other territories, facing this team that clearly bears the title of Duke, instead of bowing their heads to evade, some bold guys are pointing at them and whispering.

Seeing this, the white-faced youth in the team didn't look pretty, and muttered: "Humph! This wild citizen is really lacking in education. The common people dare to look directly at the nobles, and they really don't know the etiquette at all. If this is true, Omar, has been flogged long ago..."

In Omar, nobles have an absolute status.

The common people must avoid the noble ranks when they encounter them on the street.

Especially in the territory of their Spencer family, the Lord Duke travels, and the leader has to kneel on the street and wait for the team to leave before raising his head.

Grand Duke House frowned slightly, and he felt offended, but he didn't say anything.

After all, his perspective naturally also sees that Black Dragon City can attract so many refugees in a short period of time, which is directly related to the city's policies.

The white-faced youth was full of disdain, and continued: "My father, this is the legendary'all people are equal'? Haha, being equal with a group of untouchables is simply an insult to the blood of the nobles. Sure enough, the'New Deal' was not implemented. That’s a good thing. It would be ridiculous if the common people could have the same status as the nobles."

Although he also didn't like being pointed at by a group of civilians, Grand Duke House looked deeper and frowned, "This Black Dragon City cannot be underestimated..."

The style and appearance of the residents of Black Dragon City made him feel incredible.

In other territories, when he saw the nobles, the civilians only had numbness and panic on their faces, and they always felt lifeless.

There was no comparison before, and he didn't find out where the problem was.

When he saw it now, he realized that everyone in this Black Dragon City had a different look on their faces. It was satisfaction with life, hope for the future... it was an emotion called "happiness".

This style can only be seen in the wealthy aristocratic class, is this Black Dragon City full of?

Everyone is busy.

The Duke and his party were not welcomed by the residents.

Craftsmen are busy building the city, the security team is busy patrolling, the famine hunters are busy out of the city hunting famine, the merchants are busy yelling...

In the shops on the street, all kinds of shops selling fruits, cakes, clothes, daily necessities are crowded...

Seeing this, the Grand Duke House thought he had come to the royal capital of Omar.

Because only in the affluent Omar capital, ordinary people can have spare money to consume, and shops can be so prosperous.

In this city that has been around for less than a year, so many people can really afford daily necessities such as fruits and cakes for noble families?

In his impression, isn't the hunting city only a shop that sells all kinds of equipment that can be managed?

These issues are not written on the intelligence.

When Duke House saw this place, he only felt that the people here were incredibly wealthy.

He knows about low taxes, but... how can simple low taxes support the operation of such a large city?

The commoners and the nobles are equal, how can the lord ensure that his rights are stable?

Questions came up one by one, but they entered a dead end again.

He was still enjoying the dividends brought to the nobles by the centralization of power by the lord, but for a while, he couldn't understand this social system that had transcended several stages of the entire era.

Everything in front of him felt very "illusory".

It's like someone deliberately set up a stage play for them, letting them see this completely incredible scene.

.......

The more I look at it, the more I am surprised, everything in the city makes the members of the mission from Aura Emperor dazzle.

I thought it was to come to a remote country to "go to the countryside", but I didn't think about it, but it seemed that I had come to learn more.

The Grand Duke of House also pricked his ears, and wanted to hear what the residents were saying.

And on the street they were passing by, a pair of young men and women were kissing and embracing each other, as if celebrating something.

"Oh, Ilona, ​​let me tell you the news that I passed the selection and successfully enlisted in the army. Not only do I have free board and lodging, but also the distribution of genetic potions. After three years, I will be able to obtain permanent residency!"

"My dear, maybe it won't take three years. I heard that Uncle Carter's son joined the army only a month ago, but he is already a second lieutenant officer because of his meritorious service in the battle. Now the whole family are permanent residents of the city. "

"Oh, praise our great Lord Rennes! I will also work hard..."

".."

Duke House frowned.

This special military service system is also written in the intelligence.

He knew that Black Dragon City recruited a large number of troops, but it was not a noble knight.

This is simply unimaginable in other territories.

The army is not a noble knight, how to ensure their loyalty to the lord? .

Grand Duke House walked forward slowly with doubts.

At this moment, his attention was drawn to the past, and scattered sounds came from his ears.

"I heard that the Great Swordsman Lambert is also here. Yesterday he went directly to the Black Dragon Academy to apply for a swordsmanship teacher. Such a powerful swordsman, because he offended the nobles in Omar, no one dared to use him..."

"Machinist Fielding also came. I heard that it was because of the inheritance of mechanics who are more top-notch than the Royal Academy of Sciences in Black Dragon City..."

"Anyway, I'm here for Master Kavo. I heard that he is the honorary dean of the Black Dragon Academy, and occasionally teaches in person..."

"Have you bought the'social pension insurance' that the city hall just issued?"

"Of course! It doesn't cost much. Anyway, the money is tax deductions. When you are old, you can't hunt wasteland and can't participate in labor. The territories will pay for the pension..."

"Are you going to hunt wasteland? There are extra rewards for contributing to the wasteland west..."

"..."

There are people from all walks of life on the street, and they talk about all kinds of topics.

The Grand Duke of House heard it more and more solemnly.

Although I didn't understand what those policies were about.

He also saw that the residents' satisfaction with these policies is very high.

Moreover, in less than a year in the world, the residents of this city actually have a "sense of identity" and "a sense of belonging"?

In these residents' words, all are aimed at becoming a "black dragon city permanent resident"; they are proud of being a "permanent resident". UU reading www.uukanshu.com

This is what scares Duke House the most.

The Black Dragon City was born, and the two empires are facing the problem of population loss.

Originally, this problem was not a big deal. After all, the influx of population, whether it can be retained is the key.

Once the Black Dragon City collapsed, everything disappeared.

It seems to everyone that the "low tax" and "equality for all" policies of Black Dragon City will be noisy for a while and will collapse sooner or later.

Glory City can be turned into a noble kingdom, and Black Dragon City has always followed in their footsteps...

But now instead of crashing, it's getting more and more prosperous!

Seeing this, Grand Duke House realized that if the Black Dragon City continues to develop, the aristocratic system may usher in an unprecedented crisis, and even shake the foundation of the empire!
