Chapter 221 Yeats: After being out for so long, it’s time to enjoy yourself!
In June, summer is getting thicker.
After a week of long journey, the Chamber of Commerce team arrived at Baiye City.
This majestic city built on the mountain is a military fortress located at the pass of the Great Wall, and it is also a must-win place for entering the pass.
Looking up at the winding towers, Yeats was riding on the back of Carrot, secretly thinking:
"If White Night City is included in the forces of Morning Frost Ridge, the territory will be enough to establish a principality..."
The Starlight Chamber of Commerce is repairing and supplying here.
On the top floor of the hotel, Lena found Yeats on the terrace looking north and said:
"After leaving customs, it will take half a day to reach your Whitefish Harbor. That place is now It’s amazing, it’s the only commercial port outside the customs.”
After less than half a year of development, Baiyu Port has become an important trading port in the northern province.
The small fishing village originally built at the port has developed to the town level due to trade and population migration.
The management of Whitefish Harbor is mainly responsible for the Necromancer Rishi.
The rapid development of the port trade industry is indispensable to Rishi's efforts.
Behind this, there is the "Golden Lion Royal Navy" that collects taxes from Whitefish Port and then patrols the surrounding waters to prevent the attacks of Warcraft and pirates.
It is nominally a tax, but in fact it is the same as paying protection fees.
But this protection fee is not something you can just pay if you want.
Had it not been for the fact that Yeats and Rear Admiral Wilson were brothers, the Royal Navy would not have included Whitefish Harbor in its patrol range.
This can be regarded as a relationship that Wilson Brondi used his privileges to entrust for his younger brother... The premise of this entrusted relationship is that Yeats has proven himself by surviving the cold wave.
Wilson Browne is still a three-ring knight so far, stuck in the high-ring bottleneck and difficult to break through.
Yeats was a little curious, wondering how his brother would react when he learned that he had broken through the fourth ring...
As soon as this idea came up, Yeats shook his head and dismissed it, and said secretly:
"The Fourth Ring is still too weak. The heroes of the world are like crucian carp crossing the river, and the geniuses chosen by God emerge in endlessly. Besides, they are no better than ants if they don't go to the holy realm. Strange."
"Although I destroyed two sanctuaries, I can't be complacent."
"Mistletoe can use its inconspicuous characteristics to help me obtain precious things. Development time... Go back to the territory first and improve your career! "
There are three major ways to advance your career: potions, rituals, and prayers.
Yeats has decided to use the [Unicorn Potion] to help the bard advance to the fourth level.
The ceremony for promotion to the fourth ring of knighthood is to achieve a high ranking in a knight [competition tournament].
The promotion of the Trickster is troublesome. It is almost impossible to find any magic potion or ritual information related to the Trickster's promotion, because the Mist believers will try their best to deceive outsiders.
Through daily prayers to the gods, the probability of promotion is slim.
But Yeats is the God of Mist after all. If he has something to talk to Daisy about, he might get promoted by accident!
Unicorn horn, high ring material, expensive.
The batch of whiskey that Yeats brewed before leaving the territory can now be sold to the Starlight Chamber of Commerce, and the money can be used to purchase unicorn horns for a large sum of money.
As for the 'Ritual and Athletic Conference' required for knighthood promotion——
Yeats has not heard of any particularly famous events held in the Golden Lion Kingdom recently, and plans to return After taking the territory, let your subordinates ask around.
You must know that the athletic competition is the most characteristic event of the Middle Ages.
From kings to barons, they would hold competitive meetings whenever they had the opportunity to show off their prestige.
When Yeats played "Mount and Blade", he relied on competitive competitions to escape poverty and become rich in the early stage!
“I can finally return to my territory——”
A cheerful voice came from behind.
Yeats withdrew his gaze from the north and turned to look back.
Gray stretched out, wearing a leather armor that highlighted her waist, and her single ponytail swaying. She walked to the railing, held her chin up and smiled and said:
“Now we can go back to find blueberries, and we can sit on the doggyzha together. It’s time to sled!”
As far as Yeats could see, he saw the majestic mountains covered with ice and snow that never melted all year round. Under the clouds and mist, it was his own territory.
“Yes.” Yeats smiled slightly, “It’s time to expand our territory!”
*
The next day, early morning.
The news of the lord's return caused a sensation in Chenshuang Ridge.
Yeats's trip was neither long nor short, lasting more than three months in total.
Sometimes the lord goes on a study tour or goes abroad for a banquet, and this time is needed for communication.
Thanks to the cold wave victory, good economic development, and popular policies, Yeats's prestige among the people is at its peak.
On the way back to Morning Frost Ridge, Lena sat on the back of the winter wolf and even saw a farmer kneeling down to worship Yeats as a god.
In a world where true gods exist, Lena is quite surprised to worship humans instead of gods.
“In the legend of the church, the saint held a wooden staff, parted the Red Sea, and led the suffering people to a rich and peaceful land.”
In the praise of the lord, Lai Na turned to look at Yeats aside and said with emotion:
"In the eyes of these people, you are like a saint, Yeats."
"I prefer the title of hero to saint." Yeats paused for a while, "Once the image of a saint collapses, he will fall into eternal disaster."
"Heroes will fail. People know that, Everyone also knows that a hero will get up again and never fall down."
Lena's eyes flickered slightly, becoming more and more sure about cooperation.
"Young Master——"
The white-haired old man rode a steed, covered in dust, and came to greet him.
Yeats looked at the excited eyes of Phokas and smiled: "Fokas, you have worked hard these days."
Fokas shook his head, indicating that his efforts were not worth mentioning, and then said:< br>
"You have lost weight these days, young master. Your study tour life must have cost you a lot of effort... Go back to your territory and have a good rest!"
Yeats nodded slightly and said with a smile:
"Follow me, Phokas, and tell me what happened in the territory these days!"
"As you command!"
The golden glow of summer shines on the sparkling Pearl River. The birch forest in the distance is green and the birds are singing softly. The white-haired old man walks side by side with Yeats along the way and talks.
Nearly half a year has passed since the cold wave.
In terms of infrastructure and population, Chenshuangling is currently close to city-level scale.
Although it is far from comparable to Baiye City, the development speed of a village into a town in less than a year is astonishing.
The most important landmark building of a medieval city is undoubtedly the Lord's Castle. It is not only an important military protection project, but also a symbol of glory and status.
Before Yeats left the territory, he ordered the dwarf craftsmen to build the lord's castle, which has been completed.
This castle is entirely made of marble, with a magnificent shape and a faint silver light in the sun. The castle adopts a Gothic shape, and the top floor is like a sword reaching into the sky. According to Yeats's wishes, this lord's castle was named [Jiandong Castle], and it became Yeats's main residence in Morning Frost Ridge.
"It is worth mentioning that the Mages Guild plans to establish a branch in Morning Frost Ridge. I followed your wishes and approved their application..."
Fokas was a little puzzled: "Master, the Mage Guild is extremely strict with branch approval. Even White Night City has not been recognized by them. Why do you come to us?"
"You don't have to worry about this. The Mages Guild has its own opinions. "
Yeats and Snow Owl have jointly become the Magic Gods. This news shocked the world and caused great turmoil in the seven members of the Mages Guild.
Establish a Mage Guild with a teleportation array in Morning Frost Ridge in order to provide support to these two magic gods when necessary.
Fokas nodded and continued reporting:
"Recently, there have been a lot of extraordinary people rushing to Chenshuang Ridge in your name... I have settled them one by one and recorded them. The list is here."
On this trip, many extraordinary people were recruited. Up to six people, which greatly alleviated the pressure of Chenshuang Ridge's lack of talents.
One is Helga of the Manticore Mercenary Group. She is a lioness from the Isu tribe and a three-ring warrior. She has the organizational ability and excellent combat skills to lead a small force to fight. She is a military talent.
When she defected to Morning Frost Ridge, she also brought other members of the Manticore Mercenary Group. These are well-trained veterans who are good at mountain and jungle combat. They have been incorporated into special forces by Forkas. Title: "Scorpion Lion Group".
The second one is Lisa from Jianhe University, a vampire and a second-level mage. She was once a student of Fina, the principal of Jianhe, and is good at surgery and medicine.
Although it is a bit strange for a vampire to be in charge of the medical industry, Lisa's character has been recognized by Principal Fina, and Yeats has also been in contact with her. She was forced to become a vampire, and she is really resistant to vampires, but she is still a human being. Trustworthy.
The third is Beowulf, a descendant of the dragon-slaying warrior, a three-ring hunter. From time to time, monsters, kobolds, and goblins will invade the territory in the Jueling Mountains. You can rest assured if you leave it to Beowulf.
Beowulf also has a rare piece of ancestral armor, which he left in his territory, which means that this armor is used by Yeats, who is quite optimistic about him.
The remaining three extraordinary beings are the three witches who were originally responsible for the logistics of the Witches Association: Ziying, Oriole, and Delphinium.
On the way back to the territory, Yeats had a general understanding of the three of them. Ziying was the youngest, a purple-haired lolita, good at plant manipulation, and happened to be responsible for agriculture together with Little Red Riding Hood Reggie Leif. Production.
Oriole is a blond sister with a bookish air, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and a mature and restrained temperament.
To be fair, the Orioles fit Yeats' XP very well.
But she is a widow.
Yeats still remembers the lesson of Prime Minister Cao who killed three wise men with one shot.
Her husband was persecuted by the Inquisition for defending Oriole, and she joined the Witches.
Oriole has management experience, and because of her photographic memory, her knowledge is not inferior to that of the general manager Derek. Yeats decided to let her manage the newly opened glass veins in Morning Frost Ridge to test her abilities.
The glass mineral vein here is the new mineral vein discovered by the Digging Rat that Fourcars originally wrote to Yeats.
There is a natural spirit in the shape of a crystal spider in the mineral vein, with only two rings. Phokas used force to force it to join the sphere of influence of Morning Frost Ridge.
After that, Rich wrote a letter to get Yeats's permission to set up a glass smelting industry and a glass handicraft industry in the valley called Crystal Valley, which created a lot of profits for Chenshuang Ridge.
As a dog-headed strategist, Rixi managed the territory in an orderly manner during Yeats's absence, an ability Yeats recognized.
On the other hand, if something went wrong, they would have no choice but to borrow something from Rixi to reassure the troops. (Error)
The last witch is named Delphinium. She has long emerald hair and a gentle temperament. She was once the head maid and etiquette teacher of a noble family.
The head maid here is a "housekeeper" in the maid classification of the upper class. She is mainly responsible for hiring and supervising maids, and must also teach skills herself.
Yeats asked her about her wishes and planned to let her return to her old career as the head maid at Sword Winter Castle.
“Next, I plan to continue to expand my territory outside the customs, Phocas.”
Yeats said: "To the north of the Great Wall, the land integrated together is enough to reach the area of the earldom...becoming an earl is also my goal in the next stage."
Fokas's eyes reflected high spirits. The silver-haired young man vaguely saw the demeanor of Duke Brondi in those days, and smiled:
“Master, I believe you will be able to achieve what you want!”
“However, I want to expand further. If so, we have to send troops to the east outside the Pass. "Fokas said, "There is a snow forest in the east, and there is a group of snowmen hidden in the [Snow Forest]. The most powerful one is called the Frostmaw Clan, which is not a small one. Trouble. "
The snowman has two horns on his head, his body is ice blue, and he has an evil and cruel personality. It is said that he is a descendant of the frost giants.
Because of the obstruction of the [Snow Forest], Chenshuang Ridge lived in peace with the snowman for a long time.
Now that the army is strong and morale is strong, Yeats wants to expand further. These are hidden dangers that must be eliminated.
After passing through the eastern snow forest, there is a vast ocean, which belongs to the North Sea.
The end of the sea leads directly to the Beijun Kingdom in the north.
In other words, once the snow forest is completely brought under control and hidden dangers are eliminated, a new city can be built along the coast.
By then, Yeats had two seaports, a city, full earl heritage, and trade was no longer restricted to Thomas's Wickport.
“The snow forest is a place for military training.” Yeats said, “Phocas, you, Helga, and Beowulf are all three-ring strong men. Lead the team to clear out the snowmen outside the snow forest. No problem."
"If you encounter a high-ring snowman that is difficult to deal with, let me know and I will deal with it myself."
Fokas was stunned and heard what Yeats meant. Somewhat incredible:
"Master, could it be that you..."
"I gained a lot from this study tour." Yeats did not hide anything, and smiled slightly, "I have been promoted to the fourth ring now."
There was a buzzing sound in Forkas's head, as if there was a thunderous explosion. .
“Four rings?!”
Phocas was unbelievable.
“Master, three months ago you were only in the second ring, how could you have such an amazing promotion speed!?”
"Many events happened during this period..."
The Shadow Prince fell, the Evil Eye Apostles were devoured, and Yeats almost stepped on these big guys and became a high-level transcendent.
"However, the result is good." Yeats said with a smile.
Fokas looked moved.
The bottleneck between low-level and high-level is difficult to overcome, but the young master who was once known as Kuchiki has achieved the fourth level in just one year after becoming extraordinary!
The white-haired old man's heart was filled with turmoil.
You must know that when Forkas was at his peak, he was a fourth-level transcendent, and he knew that it was not easy to advance to the high level.
At this moment, the talent displayed by Yeats shocked Furkas greatly!
Unbelievable, excited, gratified... Fokas was full of emotions and said:
"Master, you are on your own, and you no longer need my protection!"
Yeats said sternly:
"I will also try to help you regain your strength as soon as possible, Fokas."
Fokas's eyes were actually a little red, and he said solemnly: "I wish Work hard!"
"Okay, let's go back to Shandong Castle first." Yeats was already looking forward to the fireplace, the maid, and the velvet bed.
"Then, Phokas, you go and order someone to organize a large-scale ball dinner, and the time will be on Midsummer Eve!"
Yeats said with emotion:
“After being out for so long, it’s time to enjoy it!”
