Chapter 491: Going Home

Xia He sneaked into the imperial capital and directly contacted the intelligence personnel left by Martin. This was a secret line, different from the surface. Their identities were very reliable and they could not be seen to have any relationship with the Marquis' Mansion.

To put it more than anything Xia He wants to take Ovilia away, it is also a sin of beheading.

The emperor asked her to stay, but Xia He refused, so he naturally had other thoughts.

The Marquis' Mansion had about one hundred people, and Ovilia helped to deal with the documents belonging to the nobles of the House of Lords. Xia He was named in it, although he did not serve.

This messy thing seems useless, and Ovilia has studied it very carefully.

The House system is quite useful for forming an empire. She guessed that Asra would definitely not be willing to be a little noble, and would sooner or later establish a country overseas.

It was night, and she lay on the feldstone strips in the back garden, looking at the blue moon, feeling a little sad.

Trapped here, the emperor must have no good intentions and wants to use himself to control Asra?

But I care about Asra, not as much as Asra cares about myself.

I thought there was any benefit to follow me. Alas, Asra, you killed me.

She complained like this and suddenly felt cold in the back of her head. She wanted to shout, but her mouth was covered.

"It's me." Xia He whispered in her ear.

"Why are you here?" Ovilia suddenly felt that his face was so hot. For some reason, she originally thought she didn't feel deeply about Asra, but now he suddenly appeared beside him. Ovilia's heartbeat was particularly fierce.

"Come and save you."

"Let's go back." Ovilia said nervously. She grabbed Xia He's hand and turned into a small building in the garden. After entering the building, she went directly into the inner secret room.

Xiahe released an imperfect thatched cottage, isolated from the inside and outside, and pulled Ovilia into the thatched cottage.

"This thing is so good, did you make it?"

When Ovilia saw the exquisite buildings in the thatched cottage, she couldn't help asking.

"You are really..." Xia He didn't know what to say, why do women always divert their attention?

However, Ovi Liuya recovered quickly. She continued the words just now, saying: "I have to go to the House of Lords four days a month. Although it is routine, I cannot leave. Do you think I want to save me?"

"I'm missing a captain, so I have to take you away, but for the time being you can't do things as you are now."

"Why are you ready to go back to the empire?"

"As for it?" Xia He released a crystal coffin from his badge. Through the crystal coffin, Ovilia saw another self, closed her eyes and fell asleep in the crystal coffin.

This clone is not wearing any clothes, but Ovilia is not embarrassed.

She sent her mental power into the crystal coffin and said in surprise: "How is it possible? She is alive, but she has no soul!"

"What's so strange about it? Plants are alive and have no souls."

"Is this a plant?"

“Vegetative.”

"Can this behave as me?" Ovilia didn't believe it.

"I teach you a spell, you can turn her into a living and pretend to be a soul. She can have your memories, not a clone, and she doesn't even know your existence. The only connection she has with you is that if you die, she will die at the same time."

"I don't like it."

"Why?"

Ovilia was silent for a moment and said, "I only said that I don't like it, but if I can leave the city of Juno, I have to accept her existence."

Xia Hedao: "It's not that I can't let you control her, but once you have this method, you can't hide it from that person. If she lets her develop naturally, she will mistakenly think that she is Ovilia."

"What about you?" Ovilia asked subconsciously.

"I'm here for you."

Ovilia stroked the crystal coffin with her hand. The person inside was exactly the same as him. How did Asra copy it? What did he see when he healed the wound last time.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

"So happy?"

Ovilia looked at Xia He seriously and said, "You came to me and took risks. If I refuse, you would be too stupid to take this risk."

"You have to come even if you are stupid."

"Okay, I know your thoughts, then tell me how to make her alive." Ovilia acted decisively.

Xia He was in the thatched cottage and taught Ovilia magic. Because of his practice, Ovilia's soul was relatively strong, so it was not a problem to release this half-baked Taoist technique.

The two of them struggled in the middle of the night. Seeing that Ovilia was a little tired, Xia He said, "Leave the thatched cottage for you first, and return it to me after you leave."

"Are you leaving?"

"Well, I'll rush to the fortress so that I won't be found out that I'm missing."

"Oh... Then how can I find you after I leave?"

"Just go back to Storm Corner. We will meet there. At that time, I will prepare a big ship for you to walk freely on the sea. Even if the legendary battleship of the Holy Thunder Empire is coming, there is no need to be afraid."

"Where is the Bloody Mary?"

"She is not so brave yet. After being hurt by the Goddess of Wealth, she will have to cultivate for many years."

When Xia He saw that everything was well in Ovilia today, he returned to his usual calmness. He gave a few more instructions and quietly left the Marquis' Mansion.

Xia He worked hard for a day in the imperial capital and the academy. After returning to the academy, he threw the plan for the next year written in the imperial capital to Qiu Xuanji and asked him to send it to Long.

The matter here came to an end. There were various consumptions clearly marked in the college plan. Xia He took them out of his space equipment and had to be placed in the college. He wanted to go to Rhode Island, recruit soldiers, and then go back to Storm Point, and it was impossible for him to work in the college for the time being.

Xia He didn't leave immediately, but gave the students some courses and brought the things they needed to prepare, so he led a low-level student. This time he didn't bring the academy mercenaries, but took Medilly and the group left the academy and headed to Rhode Island.

Rhode Island is actually connected to the mainland on the east coast of the Arcane Empire.

When the tide recedes, there is a wide road leading to the island.

This road is more than ten miles long, with slippery stones and uneven convexity. No one has ever thought of transforming it to be suitable for passage. Rhodes Island is very large, and it is a peninsula that is protruding from the East China Sea. Such a peninsula is theoretically not a problem to support tens of millions of people. However, Rhodes Island has always been barren, and most people make a living by fishing, with a population of millions.

This place is so poor that no nobles are willing to receive fiefs. The empire basically does not collect much taxes here, and they also have to pay for disaster relief.

Since becoming the fief of Xiahe, the place has finally changed. The people sent by the Empire and Xiahe built a city on the east side of Rhode Island. The location chosen was also a relatively rare plain on Rhode Island.

The area of ​​this plain is not as large as that of the small plain under the jurisdiction of Juno City. Although there are mountains in the east, it cannot completely block the typhoon. If this plain is suitable for farming, there must be many magic barriers on the south side. Speaking of which, the cost is far higher than the income from farming.

In other places, the arable land is relatively scattered and the land is not so fertile, so the huge Rhode Island only feeds less than five million people.

This is a world with magicians, and the land production is much higher than that of ordinary worlds.

In the granary of the empire, there was too much food to eat. In addition to supplying cavalry mounts, they could also make wine. Ordinary nobles would not let their rulers go hungry if they put some thoughts on them.

However, there are still hungry people in Rhode Island.

If you have too many children and can't afford to raise them, you have to move out. Therefore, the development of Rhode Island has been maintained at this number for thousands of years.

Xia He brought few people this time, so he took a floating airship and didn't want to have any trouble on the road. He went straight to his destination.

Suqi is in the Marquis' Mansion on Rhode Island. The distance between their gods and the Xia River is far away. If it were not for the environment like the underground world and there was no interference, you would know it four or five hundred miles away.

When Xiahe's floating airship landed, he saw a group of soldiers standing solemnly in the small square, waiting for his arrival.

The hundred soldiers brought by Su Qi looked quite elite, all over their bodies were wrapped in magic armor, and the badge with the Xiahe family logo on their chests.

"Sir!" Su Qi came up and jumped off the demonized war horse.

"Don't be too polite, this city has very few people." Xia He felt strange, because Freya would not waste money. The city was built quite a lot, with a radius of five miles, but there was almost no one watching them.

The people on the airship all walked down one by one, and Su Qi led everyone to the Marquis' Mansion.

Xiahe got on the mount, and Su Qi accompanied him, saying to Xiahe: "The construction of the city is a drawing given by Lord Freya. You can check it back and see it, with detailed notes on it."

“Well, how many Rhode Island registered people are?”

"It's just over four million, and now there are about 500,000,000, and I'm unwilling to accept jurisdiction."

"Why?"

"They are all coastal fishermen, saying that they have not been protected by nobles and are unwilling to pay taxes."

"What does Freya mean?"

"Build ports and shipyards, and those who are unwilling to be under jurisdiction will be expelled from Rhode Island. Those who are willing to be under jurisdiction will be subject to unified standards and taxes will be paid to them in the future. In addition, they will recruit armed fishermen and send magicians to train. In the future, the navy will select people from this. Fishing can only not let them starve to death. The income is not high, and the risk does not have to be small."

Xia He thought that this is the case. If an ordinary fishing boat goes to sea, it may not be possible to come back.

In addition to storms, there are also powerful monsters on the sea. If you encounter a small warship, you may not be able to stand it.

"How many fishermen are willing to accept jurisdiction?"

"I went to check it out in detail with less than 100,000. The quality is OK. It gathered in the middle of the east. There was a city nearby. There was no nobles in the local area. It was a magician under the jurisdiction. After we came, the magician expressed his willingness to surrender to the adults, so he did not start a war."
