Ronis half-closed his eyes and said to the shadow of Michael in front of Cloud City:
“The current evidence all points to Catherine.
[The Imprisoned Spirit] is an evil treasure that can greatly restrain us, Erathia.
Sadly, this unholy treasure isn't the only one.
As a member of the royal family of Erathia, Catherine has the right and obligation to confiscate and seal the evil treasure [Spirit of Imprisonment].
We in Erathia once confiscated a [Imprisoned Spirit] and kept it in Catherine's hands.
In addition, when we were tracing the clues, we finally locked on the acting lord of [Queen's Territory], Frontello.
And just when we were about to arrest Frontello, Frontello was already dead.
We have reason to suspect that this was suicide out of fear of punishment, or murder to silence the witnesses.”
"Negative. Catherine is the Lord of Erathia, and Geffenhart is Catherine's father. She has no reason to do this."
"No! She does!"
Ronis suddenly opened his eyes, and the corners of his eyes were full of red bloodshot.
Ronis opened his hands vigorously and said in a hoarse voice:
"Catherine has betrayed [Cloud City] and has formed an alliance with the Church of Poseidon!
If Catherine can cooperate with the Church of Poseidon, she can also cooperate with Diya.
She must have not wanted Geffen Hart to become an angel, so she took away Geffen Hart's divine bones and divine fire.
Lord, I ask that Catherine be deprived of her position as queen and be judged!"
"No. There is no evidence, and there should be no trial."
"I have the evidence! It's on Catherine!"
Ronis calmed down and said softly:
“Lord, I ask that Katherine be allowed to lead the troops against Geffen Hart.
I guarantee she'll betray us when she meets with Geffen Hart.
I will bring an army of angels with me to kill her and Geffen Hart the moment she betrays me."
Ronis slowly opened his eyes; his look was calm and cold, without a trace of warmth.
…
…
When the seven pigeons left the Silver Spirit, each person was on a boat.
When Qi Ge returned to the God's Chosen City, he was accompanied by a demigod, a legend, and a total of tens of thousands of sea guards.
Before his death, the Roman Emperor Augustus proudly said:
“I received a Rome built of bricks, but I left one of marble.”
Even if Emperor Augustus could be resurrected, he would bow his head in shame after seeing the achievements of the Seven Pigeons.
With the help of Sea Apple to cheat, Qi Ge went around in a big circle, but was the first one to return to the [God's Chosen City].
After Qi Ge settled Hai Pingguo and the others in the [Sea Wind Bell] tribe, they set off towards [God's Chosen City].
The first few times he came back, he was in a hurry and didn’t have time to stroll around the God’s Chosen City.
Before Qi Ge reached the [God's Chosen City], he saw a centaur pulling a cart galloping on the wide white stone road.
In addition to some ore, the cart also carried a group of goblin passengers.
The goblins tied themselves to the cart with ropes, and like balloons, they floated around as the cart ran, making all kinds of strange noises from their mouths.
“Ha-huh!!”
"The old driver is fast!"
"A thousand-mile horse, brother, you are definitely a thousand-mile horse, fast and steady!"
Qi Ge looked in the direction of the Centaur.
At the southern gate of the God's Chosen City, a group of caveman craftsmen were carving a stone sculpture more than thirty meters high under the command of the goblins.
Qi Ge looked at the stone sculpture and felt that it looked like himself.
The stone sculpture holds a map in one hand and points to the sky with the other, with a resolute and handsome expression.
And around the stone sculpture, there is a large circle of obviously smaller fairies, humans, centaurs, cavemen, harpies, Medusa, skeleton soldiers, dark elves...
They all raised their heads and looked in the direction of the stone sculpture's finger, with expressions of great longing, as if they had seen a scene in their dreams.
grass.
What is this...
All the seven pigeons were dumbfounded.
The South Gate of God's Chosen City faces the deep-water port of God's Chosen City. From now on, all merchant ships passing through will dock here and enter the city through the South Gate.
If I build a statue of myself here, wouldn't everyone who enters the city have to comment on me?
That’s not all. This statue obviously has no architectural attributes. Not only is it a waste of money and labor, it also occupies such a large building site.
Such flashy things are simply encouraging the extravagant atmosphere in the territory.
“It’s ridiculous, who built this?
It must be banned. "
The seven pigeons were so angry that they couldn't fight.
He hurried to the construction site and shouted at the top of his voice:
"Hey! People!"
Several fairies who were studying the blueprints heard Qi Ge's call, their ears moved, and they immediately perked up.
They were like dogs seeing their owner coming home, running towards the seven pigeons as fast as they could, shouting:
"My Lord! My Lord is back!"
There were some fairies and cavemen nearby who were obviously new to the God's Chosen City and didn't know the Seven Pigeons yet.
But when several elders led the people in shouting, they immediately came to their senses and cheered behind the elders.
Qi Ge was surrounded by a group of people and smiled amiably.
Even though he was in a bad mood right now, he wouldn't be so mean as to take it out on his own people.
Qi Ge greeted the people one by one, then pulled a familiar building fairy to the side and asked with a smile:
"Pluto, who asked you to build this statue?"
"My Lord, this is Lord Petra's order!"
Brutus puffed out his chest proudly and introduced excitedly:
“I defeated every construction goblin for the right to build this statue!
Even the first batch of brothers who became construction goblins were no match for me.
Sir, look, the name of this statue is [Hope]!
Many of the brothers and sisters who come to our God-chosen City now have tragic pasts.
We fairies are the same, as are the cavemen and harpies...
We used to be slaves, laborers, experimental animals...some of our brothers and sisters were even the reserve rations for the higher races.
But after arriving at God's Chosen City, everything is different.
We are all your subjects, Lord, enjoying equal rights and living freely and fully!
The meaning of this statue is to tell everyone that after arriving at the God's Chosen City, all the despair that once existed is gone.
Under your leadership, Lord, we live in hope every day!"
Pluto waved his hands vigorously, completely intoxicated by his own words, his expression extremely excited.
When Qi Ge heard these words, he felt so ashamed that he was socially dead.
He really couldn't figure out whether the hope Pluto mentioned was the forest moss that could stay awake all the time, or the magic bread that could even save time for meals.
Qi Ge coughed awkwardly and asked:
"Pluto, do you know why Petra asked you to build this statue?"
Brutus came back to his senses and immediately said:
"That's right, my lord.
Many new brothers and sisters came to the territory before.
They are different from us and have never seen what you look like, Lord.
After being in the God's Chosen City for a while, they are all grateful for your kindness.
So they made a lot of clay puppets of you and worshiped them every day.
These clay puppets come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. Some make you look like a three-headed, six-armed being, while others carve you into a caveman.
There was even a harpy who built a [naked harpy statue].
After discussion, the Lord of Petra and the Lord of Anbang (Zhang Fuyou) felt that this was inappropriate.
How could a subject admit that his lord was wrong?
So, we decided to carve your image so that all the people in the territory will remember your image."
[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for triggering the historical event: The rebirth of the weak]
[System prompt: After your statue is completed, the territory will obtain the rare treasure [Statue of Hope]. ]
Statue of Hope
Rare Treasures
Effect: Basic loyalty of all citizens in the city +10
illustrate:
Countless people in distress gathered here and were reborn.
They united as one and spontaneously built a statue for the lord who brought all this about.
Only this statue possesses such powerful power.
This power is called love. 】
A rare treasure was born...
Qi Ge was a little dumbfounded.
The hero's equipment is called [treasure].
The equipment of the city is called [Rare Treasures].
Each rare treasure will provide different bonuses to the city.
Unlike treasures that can be crafted, the birth of rare treasures requires the right time, place, and corresponding historical events, so each rare treasure is unique.
His actions of rescuing the fairies from Bracada and gathering the wild tribes from Ofu were recognized as [Historical Events] by the Mother Goddess Asa.
"All subjects' basic loyalty +10!
Basic loyalty will not decrease.
This means that even if someone is my enemy who hates me to the core, as long as he joins the God's Chosen City, his loyalty will be at least 10 points.
With such a powerful effect, I really don’t want to take it apart.
Damn, then I will just have to watch my statue die at the city gate."
Qi Ge was both happy and sad, and his mood was extremely complicated for a moment.
"My Lord, do you have any other questions? I would be very happy to answer them for you!"
Pluto stared at the seven pigeons with shining eyes.
Qi Ge was about to say no, but suddenly he had a little idea.
As we all know, when leaders inspect grassroots units, they often only see superficial work.
The actual problems at the grassroots level will be covered up tightly by various lids.
This situation is less likely to occur in God's Chosen City.
Whether it is Zhang Fuyou or Petra, Qige can trust them 100%.
However, sometimes they may fail to see some minor issues.
I'd like to take this opportunity to ask.
"Brutus, has anything happened in the territory while I was away?
For example, conflicts between new and old subjects, insufficient food, housing issues, etc. ”
Pluto took off his hat and said happily:
"Of course not, my lord!
Our God-chosen City is a place of miracles built by you, a holy place blessed by the gods.
To be able to join our God-chosen City, one must have killed countless Chaos monsters in the previous life to gain the respect.
Except for some initial discomfort, the new subjects now love our God-Chosen City so deeply that they can’t be driven away!
My Lord, look at the eyes around you that are full of admiration for you.
This is the best proof!"
Seven Pigeons: ...
Outrageous.
At the same time, among human races, even in a small village, there will be all kinds of disputes and conflicts.
The God's Chosen City is such a big city with multiple races living together, but there are no problems at all.
Qi Ge wondered why she was so unconvinced.
He looked into Pluto's sparkling eyes and knew that he probably couldn't ask anything.
If you can’t answer the question, don’t ask.
“It just so happens that there is still some time before the Silver Spirit and Sylvia return, so I want to go on a secret visit.
Seeing it with your own eyes is always more real.”
Qi Ge found an empty bush, sneakily summoned Shion, and used disguise to transform himself into a fairy.
He took out the mirror, looked it over and over, and was very satisfied.
Exactly the same as when he was in [Echoes of the Fairy Bard History].
"Hmph! After two months, the Fairy Paladin Qiger is back."
Qi Ge imitated the fairies' walking posture and walked towards the [God's Chosen City] in a trembling manner.
[God's Chosen City], as a player city, has an automatic screening function, and NPCs without permission cannot enter the city.
Therefore, [God's Chosen City] does not have guards in the conventional sense.
Qi Ge walked into the [God's Chosen City] with arrogance, looking left and right along the way.
It’s no wonder that when the Seven Pigeons returned to the God’s Chosen City, they were always surrounded by the people, with followers all around them.
This was the first time that Qi Ge enjoyed the perspective of a civilian that no one cared about.
The current God's Chosen City is no longer as pitiful as it was when it was first built, when the people didn't even have a place to live.
The fairies' large mixed-use houses in the shape of clock towers were built in an orderly manner on both sides of the road.
Whether it is the distance between the bell towers or the style and shape of the bell towers, they are all extremely uniform, which is both beautiful and practical.
Next to the clock tower area are the underground caves of the cave people.
Both cavemen and goblins love to be lively, so these two races are very suitable to be neighbors.
Qi Ge heard from Petra that after the goblins and the cavemen drank together, they would hug each other and go back to the same room to sleep.
The air is filled with the scent of philosophy.
The commercial system of Shenxuan City has developed significantly after the arrival of Mixue Bingtang.
Some smart subjects have already opened shops to sell food and gadgets that they like.
I heard from Petra that the first citizen to become rich was actually a goblin who wrote novels.
The title of the book is "The Saint and the Miracle", a novel based on Qi Ge and Smith.
Petra said that the sales of "The Saint and the Miracle" were very good, and many literate subjects bought two copies, one to read and the other to keep.
[God's Chosen City] provides free food, free accommodation, and even the furniture in the accommodation is free.
The subjects have almost no necessary living expenses, and all their income is net income.
As long as they are not lazy and do not enjoy themselves blindly, every citizen can save up a lot of gold coins.
In addition, [God's Chosen City] currently has no tax system, which means that the internal economic cycle of [God's Chosen City] is actually not very good.
Once gold coins are given out, they cannot be taken back.
If it weren't for Qi Ge's unrivaled ability to make money and the continuous injection of external gold coins, the finances of [God's Chosen City] would have collapsed long ago.
Fortunately, with Qi Ge's encouragement, the leaders' desire for consumption is not high.
Most people prefer to save their income for advancement.
When the people advance, they can create greater value for the territory.
All in all, it was equivalent to Qi Ge distributing the gold coins and resources for the advancement of the people to them in batches, and also getting the labor force for free.
It was near dusk, the time for the day shift to change over to the night shift.
Soon, Qi Ge saw a lone fairy who was preparing to go to work.
"A level 1, level 1 little goblin. The goblins that have stayed in the territory longer have already advanced to the next level.
This must be new.”
Qi Ge came forward, grabbed the little elf, and asked with excited gestures:
“Brother, I just arrived recently, and I was walking around the commercial street for a while, and I got separated from my companions.
I don't know the way to work, can you give me a ride?"
Tips: Asking someone to do you a small favor that can be easily completed and then expressing your sincere gratitude can build a closer relationship than helping others for no reason.
The goblin was very enthusiastic:
"Of course. Are you going to the farm to pick vegetables as well?"
"Oh, yes! I am the one who picks vegetables."
Qi Ge quickly confirmed.
"Hurry up, or we'll miss the bus."
The little goblin trotted along with the seven pigeons.
"The bus crew..."
Qi Ge was speechless.
This name must have been given by Zhang Fu, it's quite cool.
Qi Ge followed the little goblin to the bus stop. In front of the bus stop, three snow-white Centaur leaders were posing in various postures to show off their muscles .
Behind them, a man was pulling a cart.
The cavemen sat quietly in the car, and the goblins surrounded the Centaur leader and admired him again and again.
The nature of the Centaurs is that they like to be praised and flattered by others.
The more you praise them, the harder they work.
It was obvious that the goblins had mastered the hardworking code of the centaurs.
Qi Ge sat on the cart and immediately became the focus of the goblins.
"New brother? I haven't seen you before."
"Brother, are you lost?"
"Brother, which group are you from? Let us help you get back."
The goblins were shouting in unison.
Qi Ge was not panicked at all, pointing at his own face and said:
“Ouch, it’s me.
I am Chiger from the Succubus Doll Factory in the Silver Wind City.
I forgot a few groups.
I was captured by a wizard for experimentation before, and although I survived, my memory is not very good. "
The fairies were kind-hearted and comforted the seven pigeons:
"Oh! Is that so? It's ok bro, everything will be alright.
Wait a little longer, and when you get in line, go to the water truck and work for a while, and you’ll be back to normal.”
"Yes, brother, the lord is great and merciful, you will get better soon."
Then, the fairies began to recall the good old days.
They complained about how miserable and difficult their lives were in Bracada, and then started talking about how good their lives were now and how wise Qi Ge was.
For a moment, Qi Ge was unable to get a word in.
Qi Ge originally wanted to find a random topic to complain about and bring out the dissatisfaction in the goblins' hearts, but now, he was completely out of ideas.
Seeing that the carriage was about to arrive at the station, Qi Ge couldn't help but feel anxious.
At this moment, the little elf suddenly said:
“It’s great that I can come to God’s Chosen City.
I really hope I can live in God’s Chosen City forever.
only……"
"Well! But what?"
Qi Ge was overjoyed. Could there really be an unexpected gain?
"It's just that, since the two-shift system started, our working hours are too short!"
"Yes! That's it!"
"We are only allowed to work eight hours a day. That's too much!"
The goblins were very excited.
"Damn it! Cavemen can work ten hours a day."
“Why do we work two hours less than cavemen?
We all have one head, two arms and two legs. Are we fairies no match for cavemen?"
"Cavemen have bigger heads than we do."
"Our hands are longer than the cavemen's!"
Seven Pigeons: ...
The caveman has 5 hit points naturally, while the goblin has only 4.
Health determines the upper limit of physical strength.
How capable are you? Don’t you have any idea of ​​your own abilities?
When the territory was first established, there was a shortage of people everywhere, so I had to let the goblins work overtime.
Now that we have enough people, if I can still use one goblin as two, I can save the cost of one goblin.
Then what’s the difference between me and those beasts in Bracada?
The goblin's temper comes and goes quickly.
After a while of noisy chatter, the goblins began to chatter about other topics.
Qi Ge thought about it, opened the system, and checked the loyalty values ​​of the goblins in the car one by one.
As a result, the loyalty of all goblins is above 90, and the lowest one has 94 points.
Qi Ge was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
No wonder, they are all die-hard fans, it would be strange if they had any complaints.
Qi Ge opened the city management interface and prepared to start with the target with the lowest loyalty.
"Hmm? Did I see it wrong? The loyalty of all the subjects is above 90?
All die-hard fans?
Oh my God, even the loyalty of those two idiots from the Centaur tribe has reached 90?
I remember it was only around 70 before, right? "
The seven pigeons were surprised and happy.
There are quite a few new members in the territory.
No matter how good the treatment in [God's Chosen City] is, the [loyalty] of these new members should not increase so quickly.
No wonder the people in the territory were full of praise for the territory, and even their stone sculptures became [rare treasures].
Has anything happened in the territory while I was away ?
There is no event recording panel in the cities of the Heroes World, so players can only record it themselves.
Moreover, some subtle events will not be captured by the system.
The "Incognito Plan" that he came up with on a whim was aborted, leaving Qi Ge at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
He acted out the whole thing, and Qi Ge did not take off his vest immediately to show off in front of the goblins.
If an incognito visit is discovered, it will easily cause the people in the territory to become suspicious.
Qi Ge followed the fairies to harvest and transport crops in the newly built [Underworld Farm].
Be dedicated to your job and be meticulous.
The whole process was exactly like a normal fairy.
It was not until Zhang Fuyou came to pick him up as the acting city lord that he was able to escape successfully.
Zhang Fu brought the seven pigeons back to the city lord's castle with a serious expression, and immediately he couldn't hold it anymore.
"Hahaha, Boss, how did you turn into a goblin?
Don't mention it, your charisma is awesome, even when you turn into a fairy you still look so handsome."
Qi Ge stopped camouflaging and gradually grew taller.
“I am experiencing the life of an ordinary citizen.
Only by putting yourself in their shoes and walking among them can you understand their pains and joys, and know what they need most. "
Qi Ge said seriously:
"It's definitely not because I want to have some fun."
“I understand, don’t worry sir, I won’t have any misunderstandings.
puff."
Qi Ge squinted his eyes at Zhang Fuyou, who was trying to hold back his laughter, and said helplessly:
"Okay, laugh if you want to.
Fuyou, has anything good happened in the territory recently? Why has the loyalty of the people in the territory become so high? "
"Hey, I knew you would ask, boss. I took a screenshot."
【Territory Event: Harvest Celebration
Effect:
A harvest festival is held by Rem, which lasts for one month.
The territory's food production doubles within a month, and all residents' loyalty increases by +20.
Remaining: 18 days]
Seven Pigeons: !!!
Zhang Fuyou said cheerfully:
“Before, when there was a huge influx of people and food was most scarce, there was some unrest in the territory.
Petra and I were both a little overwhelmed.
Then I asked Rem for help and the problem was solved.
Tsk tsk, Her Majesty Rem is really amazing."
Qi Ge: ???
“Fatty, you seem to have very casually skipped some important information?
What is the unrest about? Explain it clearly! "
