Volume 5: The Ancient Glorious Empire Chapter 120: The Wealth of the Holy Court
In the Holy Court, less than half a month had passed since the catastrophe. People were gradually coming out of the panic of the shattered continent and returning to normal life.
The Holy Lord has fallen, and the elder is also dead, but this has little to do with ordinary people.
Life must go on.
With the help of powerful mythical beings who opened up mountains and split rivers, leveled the earth and filled in gullies, and with the assistance of powerful scientific and technological forces, the reconstruction of the Thirteen Provinces of the Holy See was very rapid.
If there were not a lot of building debris piled up outside the city and some terrible cracks hundreds of meters long visible to the naked eye, it would be hard for people to imagine that they had just experienced a disaster that could be called "world-destroying" not long ago.
"At that time, the entire southern part of our city collapsed, as if it was swallowed by a black hole. It was terrible."
"Yes, it was too horrific at the time. No one thought that we could survive such a desperate situation."
Some passers-by sighed and looked up at the lush green trees not far away.
The companion lowered his voice and said, "It is said that the reason why our Holy Court was suddenly struck by disaster is because something went wrong with the three elders at the top. They were eroded by an indescribable evil god!"
"Evil God?"
"Don't you know yet? Our entire Ghost World is now shrouded in the crisis of the evil god. Even more people have died outside, and many oases have been destroyed overnight."
People living in the Holy Court don't know much about the evil god's camp and his minions.
If they heard this kind of news in the past, they would at most sigh and mourn for the outside oasis for a while, and feel proud of their own Holy Court. Their Holy Court is very powerful and can keep all dangers and disasters out.
But now, having just experienced a disaster that almost destroyed the entire Holy See, they have realized that they are not far from disaster, and that the Holy See is far from being invincible in the world.
Even the Xinhuo Organization, which saved them and was far more powerful than the Holy See, was facing the threat of the evil god. How could they stay out of it? They were just ignorant before.
Even if there had not been the disaster half a month ago, even if the strong men of the Holy Court had not fallen, they might have died suddenly one day, and their deaths were unclear.
Some awakened ones who are stronger and have a certain status have already known about the Ark Project, but they obviously do not have tickets.
"Don't even mention us. If the Xinhuo Organization hadn't appeared, and that great Excellency hadn't appeared, even the nobles in the city wouldn't have been able to escape."
"Yes, in the disaster half a month ago, many mythical kings died, let alone small figures like us."
"Praise your Excellency, the mentor~!"
"Praise your Excellency, the mentor~!"
"But the Xinhuo Organization has taken over the management of our Holy Court. How can we, the people of the Holy Court, be ruled by inferiors? We are the noble people of the Holy Court!"
Among the crowd, a man with narrow eyes and wearing an expensive robe spoke up.
Like a bucket of cold water poured over us, the heated discussions fell silent for a few seconds.
But soon someone spoke up and sneered, "If it weren't for you, Master, our entire Holy Court would have been destroyed and completely turned into history. Besides, those bigwigs and nobles in the Holy Court had already planned to abandon most of the territory, leaving only a small ark as big as half a province to set sail."
"Who among us do you think is worthy of a ticket to the Ark? Is it you?"
"Don't forget that our Holy Court border is still suffering from the impact of the evil wave. If this brother has the ability, I suggest that you go to the front line to kill the evil first. Besides..."
The young man who was speaking paused. He stared at the vigorous and tall giant tree in the distance, standing straight like an unyielding spine.
"The Holy Court is very powerful, but as citizens of the Holy Court, we often have difficulty getting a chance to awaken peacefully, unless we sell ourselves to the nobles."
"But it's different now. With the arrival of the Xinhuo Organization, we have a bright future and an opportunity."
"Look, the martial arts school under Xinhuo has opened. We only need to pay a small amount of money to learn the most brilliant training methods from the martial arts school, which can greatly improve the pass rate of awakening. If you have good talent and outstanding performance, you can also be cultivated by the martial arts school."
"There are several junior brothers and sisters in my Changming District martial arts hall. Their families are very poor, and the martial arts hall directly takes care of their training needs... If we can get first place in the martial arts hall, the district, or the city, we can get high rewards, including many materials that cannot be bought with money."
“Let’s put it this way. Now we not only have the opportunity to go further, but we can even get a glimpse of the legendary mythical realm.”
And all of this is brought to them by the torch.
In this era, is there anything more desirable than having power in your own hands?
Moreover, Xinhuo did not force them to do anything, and they could still choose to live the same life as before. It was just that they had just experienced a disaster and there was an opportunity for promotion in front of them, so most people chose to fight hard.
The nationwide enthusiasm for cultivation has already been set off and is becoming increasingly enthusiastic.
Bang--!
In a luxurious box facing the street, a young man slammed a cup onto the table.
"This Diluo City clearly belongs to my Abel family!"
Obviously, the disaster has been safely passed;
Obviously, the ancestor of the Muir family, another top family in Diluo City, has fallen, and their Abel family can control the entire city;
These are obviously two things worth being happy about, but how come Xinhuo suddenly got involved?
"Damn fire!"
"They also spread cultivation methods and awakening methods everywhere, and built many inheritance sites and awakening sites... How can our Abel family use this as bait to attract those inferior people to work for us!"
“Damn it!”
The young man in luxurious robes shouted angrily.
After he finished his scolding, he glanced at the door guiltily. There were secret runes engraved on it that were enough to block out sound and mental power.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but was secretly annoyed at his own guilty conscience.
Knock knock knock——
There was a sudden knock on the door, and the young man was startled.
There was a dull shout from outside the door.
"Open the door and check the water meter."
Check the water meter?
What table are you looking for?
The young man was shocked and confused, but before he could think too much, the door engraved with ritual runes was pushed open.
A young man wearing a black vest and neat short hair walked in.
"Knock Abel, you're guilty."
"I am from the Third Law Enforcement Bureau, Silver Wing Law Enforcer, codenamed Luo Xiu, and I have been ordered to arrest you."
The young man in the black vest took out his law enforcement ID.
The young nobleman was both shocked and annoyed.
He is a high-ranking noble! The city lord is not qualified to judge him, let alone a law enforcement bureau!
The young man in the black vest shook his head with sympathy. "Some people are stupid, some are bad, but some are both stupid and bad. Our enforcement this time is entirely in accordance with the local laws of the Holy See, but some people don't seem to know that they have committed a serious crime that is punishable by death."
"I want to see your superior!"
The young man was still shouting, but suddenly his face changed and he looked terrified.
"God, myth!"
There is a divine aura emanating from this law enforcer.
The young man slumped to the ground.
How could he deserve such a noble myth to take action personally?
…
Shenhua took action personally to prevent a fight from happening. Once a fight breaks out in the city, it will more easily affect others.
Secondly, the mythical power within the fire is very sufficient.
Qianmian seconded thousands of myths and formed a law enforcement bureau under the jurisdiction of the intelligence department.
The Mythical Realm is the backbone of the Law Enforcement Bureau.
He is not a soldier, but at best, he is just a small captain.
Similar scenes occurred in many cities in the twelve provinces, causing some ripples but then quickly calming down.
Fang You looked through the information about the Central Holy Court.
This holy nation has learned a lot from Candela in terms of culture, laws, systems and many other aspects.
Their people live a prosperous life, and the rights of ordinary people are protected... It was originally like this. However, after a long period of development and without the threat of foreign enemies, the Holy See has changed unconsciously.
The great nobles hold high positions and are obsessed with the game of power.
Most of the roots of the Holy See are rotten.
This time, Xinhuo carried out a large-scale purge.
Whether it was true or not, whether he was abused or not, Fang You didn't care. What he cared about was the power of the Holy Court. He really needed this power.
He picked up the materials compiled by Xiao Huan.
The total population of the Holy See was more than 64 billion before, but after this catastrophe, there are less than 50 billion people left.
All those at high levels and above fell.
There are only six demigods left, four of whom are provincial governors and two are aging ancestors of super families.
There are probably thirty or forty or .
The reason for the uncertainty is that many big families in the Holy Court try their best to hide the information of their own strong people, but also because Xinhuo doesn't care, otherwise, it is not difficult to find out. The Holy Court is a country with advanced rune technology, and there are many information processing and storage terminals. For Xiaohuan, these places are like returning home, and she can travel freely.
But myths and demigods? Not to mention Fang You, even Heidao, Qianmian, Xiaohuan and others didn't care at all, as long as these guys behaved themselves and didn't oppose humanity.
What Fang You really cares about is the 50 billion population.
"This population alone can speed up my Oasis Project and greatly shorten the time it takes for all Oases to be promoted to Level Nine. Moreover..."
"Among so many people, how many have extraordinary talents? There must be many strong ones."
The classes in the Holy Court had long been solidified, and many strong people were content to enjoy themselves, while ordinary people had no way to make progress. But now, he has set up martial arts halls in various urban areas and promoted the sixth set of basic training methods. Those with talent and diligence can stand out and change their lives.
This is the value of human beings.
There is also the value of the land.
"The Holy See's territory is vast and has abundant resources. It can accommodate a population of 50 billion or 60 billion, or even 200 billion or 300 billion. However, the disaster is approaching, and there is no time to implement the plan of having more children."
“But the land itself has infinite value.”
After the Xinhuo Secret Realm is promoted to LV8, there are 12 places available.
Among them, 10 are the top ten oases including Spark City and Burning Fire City, and the lowest is a level 7 oasis. There is also a quota for the Academy Secret Realm to build a secret realm channel.
He kept the last spot as a backup, and now, he was using it on the Holy Court land.
"The Holy Court was originally a world of its own, but after it collapsed and was reshaped, it is now in a strange world. Today's Holy Court is equivalent to a small domain, and it also has some oasis characteristics."
After all, the Holy Court is vast. After it is incorporated, only the most core areas can use the base function.
However, as time goes by, the base module will eventually incorporate the entire Holy Kingdom and turn it into a huge oasis country.
At that time, their own warriors will step on the land of the Holy Court and kill the swarming evil spirits, which will provide the organization with a steady stream of destiny points.
The Holy Court is vast, and now it faces many evils.
If we can transform this place into a battlefield for harvesting destiny points, the benefits it will bring will be much greater than ten super oases.
Fang You was looking through the information.
Xiao Huan has kindly circled some important content.
"Hmm, this super weapon called Thunderstorm Defense System actually has the power to kill high-ranking people? It's quite impressive. Maybe we can ask Master Wang to study it."
He looked over there and saw a huge creature.
It was a war machine that was larger than an entire city, built with countless legendary rituals and divine and demonic materials as its foundation. It was a representative work of the Kandra Empire's rune craftsmanship.
Well, this item was dismantled and transported by the Holy Court from the Kandra Empire.
Similar to the Thunderstorm super weapon, there are six other super weapons, including "Final Sun" and "Eternal Frozen Ice".
If these super weapons are used in combination, even the root existence of the tenth realm will have to retreat, and ordinary high-level beings will not even have time to escape.
But in the recent disaster, none of these super weapons were used.
Of course, more than half of the high-ranking officials of the Holy See have died and people are in panic, but there is no emergency plan in the face of sudden disasters. This is a problem of the Holy See itself.
The long period of peace has made them lose their vigilance.
"These weapons were all made by Candela, and the Holy See once conducted a related research and development program, but to no avail. They were unable to create such super weapons."
Can the fire be created?
You can try it.
But instead of imitating a similar super weapon, they absorbed the essence of its technology.
After all, super weapons can only kill high-ranking ones, and are far from being able to fight against evil gods. Otherwise, these weapons would not remain in the territory of the Kandra Empire.
There are many other gains.
Xiao Huan dug out several valuable treasures, dozens of divine sources, and countless legendary materials from the treasury underground in the Holy Lord's Palace.
To date, all the important places in the First Province have not been fully excavated.
Fang You flipped through it for a few minutes and then closed it. He paid attention to the situation inside the Holy Court again, and withdrew his gaze when he saw that the situation was stable.
“It’s a good harvest, but it’s enough to leave it to others to deal with.”
"Xiao Huan, you also need to put more energy into your cultivation and strive to reach a high position as soon as possible."
"I know, I know."
In the panel, the girl stuck her head out, with a look of reluctance to leave the treasure in the distance.
The joy of counting money is hard to give up.
But she wanted to respond to her master's expectations even more.
She fixed her gaze.
Fang You looked into the distance and said "Huh".
"Chi Yan, you have finally entered the tenth realm and started to forge a divine body of laws. I have added another great general to my legacy!"
