Chapter 252: Players are very curious.
To be honest, the influx of a large number of female players into Louisian County is actually a good thing.
Let’s not talk about the beauties. Even ordinary women have a few spare tires and are willing to lick the dog.
They came to Louisian County and brought a large number of licking dogs and spare tires.
Then, because there were so many players here, it seemed lively and attracted a large number of business teams.
The arrival of the business team further increased the prosperity of Louisian County, and then attracted more people.
A perfect positive cycle.
In just less than half a year, Luisian made a name for himself among players by relying on infrastructure construction, and then used the "hidden profession" to hype up the game, making it even more popular.
Louisian County now has a permanent population of nearly 100,000.
Although most of them are players.
This is only half a year.
Hardy sat in his study, looking at the tax officer's report, quite speechless.
"These undead are really interesting."
Sophie smiled and said, "Isn't it good to make you so much money?"
"Very good." Hardy also laughed.
Because of the high cost of infrastructure construction, he spent nearly a thousand gold coins in half a year.
But in the past three months, Louisiana County taxes have increased at an exaggerated rate.
In three months, a total of more than 1,200 gold coins were collected in taxes.
I have made my money back, and even made a small profit.
I have to say that players are too rich and willing to spend money.
At present, the city of Ruisian has only been built in prototype, and many municipal functions have not really started.
If I have to say it, it is the opening of an entertainment street!
Food, drink and entertainment are all available.
Especially playing... In this world, it is impossible to avoid the ancient profession of nightingale.
So Hardy simply legalized it and required all nightingale shop owners to take nightingales to the Temple of Light for an exorcism every ten days.
Those curious male players often go there and want to know whether this game is realistic or not!
And those with the highest taxes are also those Nightingale stores.
Altogether, it contributed a little more than one-third of the tax revenue.
There are only 100,000 players here now. If the permanent population reaches more than 200,000, Hardy believes that his financial resources can reach the level of wealth that rivals other countries within five years.
With the money, Hardy had an idea.
He built himself a very luxurious magic laboratory.
All kinds of expensive magic tools, all kinds of magic materials, almost everything you need.
Hardy acquired them from players through 'missions'.
Hardy can get materials quickly, and players can get experience and coins, a win-win situation!
Although Sophie is a succubus, she does not pester Hardy every day to have sex like in the legend.
She also has a career and pursuits.
Hardy spends most of his time in the magic laboratory.
He could almost recite the alchemical notes that Patience gave him.
He already knew the theoretical content, and the rest was practice.
He confidently started to perform alchemical synthesis, but... he failed five times in a row in one day!
The lost magic materials are equivalent to twenty-one gold coins.
Looking at the calculated price, Hardy felt a headache.
No wonder Peixingsi complains about being poor and wants to invest every day. It turns out this is what happened. No wonder... ordinary magicians stop learning new magic after learning a few practical basic magics.
Just exercise your mental strength.
I can't afford to learn love.
Hardy packed up the magic laboratory and had a good rest for a day before going to conduct alchemy experiments again.
After losing eleven gold coins of magic materials, Hardy finally carved an alchemical magic circle onto the surface of the steel.
If it can be engraved on steel, it can naturally be engraved on the thick armor of the Nightmare Knight.
Alchemy has opened a crack in the door for him.
The next step is to consider how to 'divide' the Nightmare Knight's body.
According to EPR's theory, the Nightmare Knight itself is made of magical energy, so it can naturally be cut into pieces.
As long as the souls and consciousness on each block are still connected, the divided nightmare knights will not be injured.
After dividing the Nightmare Knight into blocks, people can carve magic circles on each block to achieve the purpose of integrating various abilities.
How to chunk it?
There is also an inference in the EPR book that it requires spiritual magical assistance.
And spiritual magic is not Hardy's strong point.
The elves are relatively good at this. Natural magic requires sincerity and spirituality.
Hardy then thought of Philaire.
Strangely enough, Hardy hadn't seen Philaire for several months, and he didn't know how she was doing outside recently.
While drinking precious purple leaf tea, Hardy thought about how to find Philaire.
Just as he was thinking about the method, the guard came to report: "Your Excellency Hadi, there is an envoy from the north asking to see you."
Hadi was stunned for a moment and said, "Invite him in."
The two countries were at war, but he didn't come . Yes, this is a tacit understanding among all countries in the Aroba region.
Soon a middle-aged man with a beard walked in from outside. He saluted first and then said: "Sir Hardy, I have brought you a confidential letter from the great elder of our northern sect. Please read it in a place where no one is around. Thank you. ."
Hardy took the letter and found that it was sealed with gold paint. If someone had opened it, the gold paint must have broken.
It is a simple but practical anti-tampering method.
Hardy opened the envelope, took out the elven bamboo paper filled with words, and quickly read the letter.
Then he shook his head and said: "This is absolutely impossible. Please go back, messenger, and relay my words to your great elder." "The
great elder has already guessed that you will have this idea." The messenger waved his hand and smiled. He said: "So we can also do what the southern faction does."
Hardy still shook his head.
It would be good to have an extra large territory, but if he really agreed to the terms of the northern faction's great elder, then Hardy would only have one way left. You can go.
If you treat others like dogs, your reputation will be ruined.
"Your Excellency, in the words of the elves, those who know the current affairs are heroes! The climate in the south is over."
"No, I think the north is about to be unable to hold on." Hadi said with a smile: "After all, your economy is very poor, and the people's labor is very hard, and you will soon have no money to support the army."
"Your Majesty, you underestimate us too much. ." Seeing that Hadi was unwilling to agree to their great elder's solicitation, the northern emissary had no choice but to give up and leave.
At this time, Sophie came in from the outside, picked up the letter on the table, and exclaimed: "Wow, they want to let you conquer these important cities with nothing, and then they will give you some gold coins. This can also be done As you can imagine, the top leaders of the Northern faction are not very good either."
"Actually, they are trying to alienate each other!" Hardy hugged Sophie and said softly: "The Northern emissary is going to find Kaldor next. Andrew Spencer."
"Do you want my troops to move?" Sophie leaned back, with half pain and half happiness on her face, and said: "It's time to give those girls a chance to fight."
