Chapter 497: The Mage Corps (1)

After everyone finished speaking, Xia He said: "If you just want to be a marquis, dukes, grand dukes and other nobles, everything I have on Rhodes is meaningless. Let me say something that will reassure you that I will establish a country independently one day. In my country, bloodline is meaningless. You can fight for whatever you want through your own efforts. All you can leave to your descendants is wealth, not power."

Everyone was listening carefully to Xia He's words.

"I will abolish the aristocratic system of the House of Commons of the Empire. What I give you is a relatively fair system, a civic lord system. After anyone becomes a citizen, he can begin to accumulate merits and gain empire power. I will write a detailed system into laws. These laws can ensure that the merits that each of you will not be taken away by others."

Xia He was in the study and gave a detailed explanation of a system that imitated the Shenzhou Empire.

None of the magicians here have noble origins? Even if there are a few noble mages, they are barons or even lords with no hereditary power.

The system of the world of Shenzhou is relatively fair, and everyone has a chance. Except for power that cannot be passed on to descendants, the rest of wealth and other things can be inherited as heritage and inherited by descendants. However, there are rules for inheritance of the inheritance of the Shenzhou Empire. Every descendant has the power to inherit, and wealth will be divided.

For example, if you have accumulated 20 billion gold coins yourself, you have five children, and each child can only have 4 billion gold coins.

This avoids the unlimited concentration of wealth, and also encourages people to convert wealth into merit. Although the conversion rate is very low, there are many balance points. How much wealth you have and how much donation is cost-effective, and you have already had precise calculation results.

Xia He first announced the recent development to boost morale, and then announced the future development plan to stabilize people's hearts. His observations were very meticulous, and the core members were all satisfied with this system.

That's good, and it saves a lot of trouble.

"After the Dragon Island is completely defeated, I will support Lynch and continue to attack the Green Forest Continent. That will be a long process. But Dragon Island does not belong to anyone, it is ours." Xia He arrived word by word. Although Rhode Island is a giant, it is smaller than Dragon Island.

Both are called islands. The area of ​​Dragon Island is more than ten times that of Rhode Island, but there are many places that are not suitable for people to live in.

"I will not take down the territory of the Earl of Notting Hill. If he surrenders, I will let him join my family and become an affiliated noble. If he refuses to surrender, I will slowly torment him. My plan is to give priority to the development of the navy. I will march south along the east coast of the Empire Continent, attack the half-elves on the coast, and train troops with half-elves."

When Xia He said this, he suddenly remembered the powerful man from the Holy Thunder Empire who intercepted his fleet.

I don’t know what the Holy Thunder Empire means, it’s about trying to interfere in the Arcane Empire? But if you walk from the sea, Storm Point will not be lost. The entire Storm Point is now armed to the teeth, and the construction knights are concentrated there. Fortress cannons, magic cannons, and flying warships.

Even if the legendary powerful man comes out, there is a temple of the Goddess of Doom.

There are more and more believers in the Goddess of Doom. If Xia He had not yet achieved the Yang God, her power would have been broken through and become a true God.

If the Holy Thunder Empire is dispatched with warships, the best route will be to pass through the southern end of Green Forest, and the distance is still not close.

Is there a loophole in the natural barrier outside the East China Sea?

This world is still a planet. In terms of size, it may be comparable to the world of Shenzhou, and it is definitely the size of the main world. However, the eastern waters cannot be navigated at all, and all kinds of disaster-like weather are a dead domain for the legend.

The Holy Thunder Empire doesn’t have to attack Green Forest first and then come to the Arcane Empire?

Although Green Forest is not unified, the temples of the gods are there, so it is not easy to attack Green Forest.

Xia He simply didn't think about this sudden clip. The Holy Thunder Empire wanted to put some pressure on himself last time and dispatched the Griffin Knight. However, for him, this was not very powerful. The Griffin Knight's combat power was definitely not as good as his own flying warship.

The self-defense weapon of the flying warship is lightning attack, plus a large-caliber magic musket, making it difficult for the flying monster to get close to. After all, if it is powered by electric current, everything will fall to the ground.

I am now a marquis of the Empire, and the Holy Thunder Empire cannot only cause trouble for me.

The power of the Marquis' Mansion began to operate on Rhode Island. After the hundreds of thousands of so-called fishermen were blocked, they could still rely on their savings to support them. At the beginning of the second year, many people began to starve. The Marquis' Mansion was tightly blocked, and there were various surveillance in the sky. It was really impossible to obtain any supplies from outside the island.

In mid-January, people began to escape quietly one after another, and were captured by people from the Marquis' Mansion. They were directly beaten as sinners, sent to build roads and mines.

Xia He also realized that the people who encouraged the Earl of Notting Mountain behind him treated the Earl as a scapegoat and had no intention of coming forward. After all, it was a mortal hatred for inciting people from other noble territories to rebel. The Earl of Notting Mountain did not know what benefits he had received, so he did such a stupid thing.

Since there are no follow-up measures, the situation in Rhode Island is stable.

Although the power is concentrated in Sun City and Wumian City, now there are flying warships and the combat radius is astonishingly large. When Xiahe has a floating airship to transport elite troops, the entire Rhode Island will be unbreakable.

The cost of transporting elite troops on a floating warship is also a bit high, not that it is impossible.

Xia He has been here for many days, and his equipment has almost been refined. It has evolved a lot, and his students' equipment has also been improved. The twenty-four new students have grown up fast, but they are still young and cannot do official business.

When Ye Lina was in Storm, students like Ye Lina had to learn spells, but also had to learn management. Now they can stand alone, and it is no problem for each person to command 500 to 1,000 people.

Xia He felt at ease. After the teleportation array and Storm Corner were connected, the consumption was much smaller.

He has eight specialized bags for transporting goods, which can be transported through the teleportation array without increasing any consumption. This is the teleportation in the world, and it is different from interstellar teleportation. It is a real money-burning thing. It must have the technology like the Shenzhou Empire to be able to consume it.

The image and sound transmission functions of the badges were finally developed, but the most powerful badges were only a few, which could directly transmit sound from Storm Corner to Rhode Island. This function was too practical, and the drawings designed by Freya could be quickly transferred. The alchemy factory here did not have much design capabilities, especially the new weapons, and the magicians were confused.

With the drawings provided by Freya, warships and flight equipment gradually improved, and various prototypes were dismantled and rebuilt into standard weapons that could be equipped in large quantities.

The changes made by flying warships are mainly to reduce consumption, and at the same time increase the cost of external versions. Ten thousand gold coins are too cheap, which will lead to an avalanche of the price of floating airships. This is absolutely not allowed by the royal family. Xia He needs to increase the cost to the extent that the royal family can tolerate.

Of course, it refers to external costs, mainly the confidentiality of core components, which makes people unable to imitate. For Shenzhou, this is not a problem, and some methods are. Because it cannot be copied, the price of this thing will be as high as 80,000 gold coins. This is the price of bare metal, not including any supporting weapons or detection methods.

The ironclad ships are nothing. The magicians of the empire can actually manufacture submersible warships, but the cost is too high and they have not started a war with other continents, so they cannot use them.

Xia He felt that the only rebellion was left on Rhode Island, and other things were already on track.

On the sea more than 200 miles away from Rhode Island, a warship broke down and waited, and several underwater expedition teams had dispersed. It was not the first day that the low-level magicians trained by Xiahe received missions and explored the surrounding waters.

All the magicians formed a team and wore the close-fitting leather jackets that were shooting at the Marquis' Mansion. The leather jackets had distinct magic patterns. If it weren't for this magic pattern, the cold sea water would be enough to freeze the mage below level ten to death.

A team of eight people was riding a kayak and heading north. Next to the kayak, a huge whale showed its back and walked forward with the magicians. The whale was more than twenty meters long and sharp-toothed. However, when it circled the kayak, it was also cautious, for fear of overturning the thing.

This is the most common beast near the sea, and it is also a kind of monster, a multi-toothed whale.

The scattered whales are huge in size, with the highest level of nearly eighty, but they are all low-level in the near sea. This kind of monster is harmless to humans and has a very high IQ. Because it is close to human attributes, no magician will harm the scattered whales.

If you encounter beasts like sharks, the multi-toothed whales will even fight with humans.

For fishermen, the scattered whales are even more patron saints.

The eight magicians, the leader of the team, were only fifteen years old, but they were the captain of this team. The other magicians were uneven. The oldest one looked like they were eighty, and they were just a big magician, just level 20.

The eight people were all relaxed. They had just explored underwater. It was the time to rest. Some food was hot on the kayak. The young master led by the head said: "Thank you for your hard work. This time I came out. In my name, everyone can only give some gold coins. I am really embarrassed."

The old master said, "Where? This time we found a shipwreck under the sea. The things are worth thousands of gold coins, and we have made a lot of money. If you don't even want another gold coins, how dare we say we have taken advantage of it."

A middle-aged mage said, "We have obtained the gold coins from the shipwreck, so won't we leave them to the Marquis to deal with?"
