Cthulhu Gonfalon

To maintain world peace and promote social progress, these twelve words are easy to say, but it is not easy to do.

The former is okay to say that nothing more than to stop others from fighting, to support the invaders whenever the war is about to happen, or to resolve the grievances of both sides. Although it is difficult, there is always a trace of it, and there is roughly a direction of hard work. But the latter is really a bit empty, even though the top members of the Void Mask Church are mostly smart and can't think of any good plans.

"It is safe to say that the maintenance of peace is not the case. The day when the sun was extinguished was terrible and scary. It is estimated that the world's major forces - at least the countries of the main plane - will not want to fight for a long time." The high priest Leon Igor said with indulgence, "That is to say, at present we should focus on promoting progress. So what do you think is progress?"

Yan Xiong nodded and pondered, saying: "So-called social progress should first be reflected in the improvement of people's living standards, that is, to let the people eat and drink well, to live well, and to protect their legitimate rights. Let them live rich, safe, and dignified, promote democracy and protect personal freedom..."

As he thought, he suddenly said that his heart flashed: "Yes, I remembered it! It is like this... Building a prosperous, democratic, civilized and harmonious country and building a society of freedom, equality, justice and the rule of law. Advocating a culture of patriotism, dedication, honesty, and friendliness. Thanks! Fortunately, I did a propaganda cartoon for the community, otherwise I can’t really afford it!"

Leon listened to each other's face, and after a long time, the talented and straightforward giant Gerald first said: "Your Majesty, what you said... I don't understand it very well."

"This is nothing, I can explain it to you one by one. In fact, it is quite simple."

"However, if you want to promote social progress, do you have to set the goal so high?" Leon asked. "I can understand what you said, but the standard... Is it too exaggerated?"

隋雄一愣: "Exaggerated?"

He looked around the meeting room and saw that everyone was almost the same expression as Leon.

Surprised, helpless, and hopeless.

"Oh... it seems to be a bit exaggerated..." Yan Xiong wiped his sweat and said with a smile, "That can lower the standard first..."

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, to make progress in society, it is nothing more than letting the common people have food and clothing, and have a stable income. They can save some money after a hard work. When they are alive, they can be used as if they are dead. Worried about hell... Are you right?” said Orlian Gelten, one of the two lords of the church. “If I aim at these, I think I can still try it.”

"...this goal is too low."

"Not low!" Orion sighed. "Don't you know? Before the teacher's stationery workshop was built, we had more than a dozen people who died every year in winter because of lack of clothes and food. This is because We are here to develop the collar. The people have more land, higher income, and a slightly thicker family. They have to be placed in those families that have been in business for a long time, and have been smashed in the past. Thousands are rare..."

Yan Xiong frowned and asked: "Why don't you blame?"

"Emergency is easy, save the poor!" Orion sighed and said, "Those who will die of starvation are usually poor. They often do not cultivate land, and there is no strong labor at home." How much can you earn by relying on women, children, and children? In the past, Gerteng was also poor, and everything in the winter was expensive. Although I would send rations and some clothes to these families, the winter of Gerteng was still cold. what……"

"But this situation is gone now. Since the completion of the stationery workshop, the financial resources of the territory have been much more generous. I simply moved these landless families to the vicinity of the workshop and asked them to do some piecemeal work for the workshop. There is a relatively stable income on the other hand, and on the other hand, it is easier to get relief in winter.” Orion smiled and said, “In these years, except for some sick people, there is still drunken roadside, really frozen. Starving to death is nothing."

Yan Xiong nodded slightly and looked at Leon.

Although Carissa Riley is the lord of Gals City, everyone knows that it is Leone who is really responsible for the administration of Gals City.

Leon immediately understood what he meant and replied: "The situation in Galstown is better than that of Georgeng. After all, it is a commercial town and there are more job opportunities. Even if there is no farmland or no labor, I can find a job that is enough to make a living. It is just that there are many people in the city of Gals and the surrounding area. There are many things to manage. In terms of assisting poverty, I have only done a little bit. I am afraid that it is not as good as Geereng. ”

Yan Xiong frowned slightly and looked at Mrs. Teague.

Over the years, the Void Mask Playground has been developing and the responsible persons are also adjusting. Some time ago, Li Fu, who was originally in charge, finally couldn't stand the perennial and the case, shouted to resign, ran out to form an adventure team, and had been in the North Icefield during this time. At present, the main governing body of the amusement park is Mrs. Teague. She was originally responsible for civil affairs and she was very prestigious among the residents. Now she is only adding some workload, but she can cope with it.

“The situation in our playground is much better,” said Mrs. Teague. “But this is not the basis.”

She said: "Our income is too high, and it is high enough to be the disposable liquidity, so we can guarantee that every resident is well-fed. In this case, of course, I can guarantee that everyone will eat well and dress well. Well, but if you want to promote our experience here, it is impossible."

“Why not?” asked Xiongxiong.

“Do you know what you know? Our playground is the largest and highest level entertainment venue for the entire main plane. There are many wealthy people who come here to spend money, and it’s not uncommon for a lot of money to be a big hit. Not only that, but we also have a huge The financial source is the ten-year longevity drug auction, which is a big search for the wealth of the entire main plane...” Mrs. Teague said with a smile, “The light is the source of these two resources, it is enough to feed a small point. Country. How can there be such an opportunity in other regions? Your next step is to promote social progress. It is not only our own progress."

Yan Xiong nodded, his ideal is not to learn the desert local tyrants on the earth, lying on the oil and closing the door to be free. What he hopes is to promote the whole world, at least the social progress of the entire main plane. As Mrs. Teague said, the two sources of money in the Void Mask Playground are not available to others, and it is meaningless to use it as a reference.

Thinking of this, his eyes lit up and he remembered the Knights of Keen, who was far away from the Principality of the Thunder.

Compared with the main plane stationery base Geer Teng Ling and the commercial town of Gals City, the situation of the Knights of Keane is much more common. There is no special output, no special convenient traffic conditions, it is just a common small territory. If you can get this kind of territory and let the people live and work in peace, then the experience can be promoted.

...and he does not have to wait for the development of the results of the Knights of Keen, you can look for individual places to build!

When he thought of it, he made a decision.

“Call some adventurers who are going south and north.” He said, “I want to find a place that is as common as possible and build an ordinary territory.”

“If I can manage an ordinary territory, then I will find the direction to promote social progress!”

A few hours later, a dozen or so young adventurers were summoned. Yan Xiong changed his incarnation of a noble appearance and met them with Mrs. Teague.

“I want to find a territory that is closer to the Void Mask Playground and more common.” A hair is almost completely white. The adventurer who is currently at the library’s library and cares for the elderly said, “That’s not Does Huishi Town or Taojin Town?"

Awkward, to be honest, although the Void Mask Playground is located in the northwest, he really doesn't know much about the situation in the four northwestern towns.

In his impression, rye town is the largest transportation hub in the northwestern region. Because of the lighter pollution of the land, agriculture is quite developed. The town of Pyroxene has gemstone veins. Although it is very low-grade, it occasionally produces some high-grade There are gold mines, copper mines and iron mines in Taojin Town. Gold mines attract a large number of people who pursue wealth. Copper mines and iron mines are the main sources of income. Longyan Town relies on mountains to eat mountains. The main income comes from Warcraft hunting.

To be honest, he feels that the four towns in the northwest have their own characteristics and cannot be regarded as ordinary territory. Why is it that the old adventurer, Hui Shizhen and Taojin Town are ordinary territories?

When he raised this question, the old adventurer smiled and said, "This adult, you are too much to emphasize the 'ordinary'. What is ordinary? The income is general, the resources are general, and the traffic conditions are generally This is normal. The traffic conditions in rye town are very good. Longyu Town is located in the north of the playground, and the mountains adjacent to Warcraft are in the east. It has unique resources. These two places are not ordinary. Kehui Town and Taojin Town Where is it not ordinary?"

“The town of Pyroxene has a gemstone vein, and there is a gold mine in the town of Taojin.”

“The gemstone veins in the town of Pyroxene are very low-level, and the gold mines in the gold mining town are lower. Such veins are not 100 or 80 on the mainland.” The old adventurer smiled and said, “You only saw them’ have these. Resources, but did not see the income these resources bring to them... These two towns are so poor that even an army can't afford it. Where can we talk about it?"

Yan Xiong indulged for a while and understood what he meant.

Unlike Kazuo, the old adventurer is concerned with the location and income level. It is true that there are gemstone veins in Huishi Town, gold mines in Taojin Town, gold mines or gold mines, but the output is not high. These two towns simply do not have the ability to rely on these two veins to get more income.

In contrast, the business and agriculture of rye town, the Warcraft hunting of Longyan Town, that is a reliable source of income, and it is truly a "uncommon" territory.

“How about the specific income level of the four towns?” he asked.

"You shouldn't ask us about this." The elderly adventurer said, "We are just ordinary adventurers. For this kind of thing, you should find the thieves' guild."

Yan Xiong nodded and gave them some consulting fees, especially to the old adventurer, and then sent them away, and they ran to find Rhodes.

Rhodes is almost seventy years old this year. He is the blessing of long-lived pharmacy. He seems to be less than sixty. Because of his good strength, his hair is all white, but the spirit is still very good, there is a feeling of being old and strong.

When Yuxiong came to him, he was guiding a group of young people from the Thieves Guild to study antique identification. This is his masterpiece, and he even got the nickname "Grey Eyes" because he was good at identification.

For thieves, "eyes", "hands" and "daggers" are very special titles. "Eyes" means that the thief is particularly powerful in identification; "hand" means that the thief has worked hard, or is good at organ arrangement and dismantling, or is good at stealing; "dagger" means that the thief is a combat master.

At that time, he tried to conceal the president of Gerberd and Palin's former Prehistoric Town Thieves Guild, "Quick Hand" Rennes, a big expert in organ traps. After him, he succeeded the president of the Hui Shi Town Thieves Guild, and later became the president of the entire Northwest Regional Thieves Association, which is the master of identification.

Once he was drunk, he once said that he was a powerful appraiser of the Gold Coin Federation, and he also competed with several other appraisers for the highest honor "Golden Eye" in the direction of the "Eyes" of the Thieves Guild. It’s just that the skill is not as good as people, and it’s bad luck to offend a very powerful person before he has to go northwest to avoid the disaster.

Of course, now that Rhodes himself is already a big man, he is even too lazy to look for the "big man" revenge that forced him to go northwest in the past - because in his opinion, the man forced him to run, Although he had suffered a lot, he also gave him a huge opportunity. If it wasn’t for the gold coin federal to go to the town of Pyroxes, how could he encounter a void mask, how could he have a later encounter?

Although he will not thank the guy who persecuted him, he will not go to special revenge. In his view, all this is the arrangement of fate. The encounter of the past is nothing more than the **** of fate to tease him.

Now Rhodes has stepped down from the position of the president of the Northwestern Thieves Association. He is the consultant's name. Every day, in addition to dealing with the financial work of some virtual masks, he teaches young people to learn to identify. Knowledge. It is also a feeling of a few minutes of good old age.

"Well, do you want to know more about the income situation in the four northwestern towns?" He heard a request from Xiongxiong, and he recalled it a bit. He just said that the specific revenues and expenditures of the four northwestern towns in recent years have been said.

Honestly, these materials are also secrets, but one of the main businesses of the Thieves Guild is to inquire and sell intelligence. This level of intelligence is really nothing to them, even Rhodes, a semi-retired senior. know.

In fact, Rhodes has always been concerned about this information because he is responsible for finance.

After listening to Rhodes' report, Yu Xiong finally understood why the old adventurer felt that Hui Shizhen and Taojin Town were ordinary. Although these two towns have veins, they do not receive much income from the veins. Taojin Town is better. There are copper mines and iron ore mines. How can we have a stable income? Huishi Town has not had much income, mainly relying on entertainment and consumption. Since the opening of the Void Mask Playground, their income levels have declined, and they have now fallen from the core position of the original four towns to the lowest position in the four towns.

In fact... The town of Huishi has now had a certain amount of meaning to be abandoned.

The so-called gemstone veins produce very low yields and do not require too many workers. Occasionally some advanced gems appear and will be sent to the Void Mask Playground for sale. In addition to some workers and small traders who provide services to them, the current town of Pyroxes has not been inhabited. Even the church of the gods of the nobility and the **** of law has been evacuated, and only the church of the **** of wealth still maintains a small temple there.

Yuxiong has been indulging for a long time, and finally made up his mind to draw a circle on the map of the location of the town of Hui Shi.

"In this case, start from here and do a reform!"
