Chapter 287 One, Two, Three, Conspiracy and Calculation

At night, Mayne tossed and turned, the scene in the mine was still flashing in his mind.

Banner was thrilled by Gronia’s description of an Alanis that was happier and more orderly than Paradise Hills, but full of details that felt very real.As for Gloria who looked at him, although her expression was calm, there was a faint smile on her lips, which Mayne, who grew up with her, was very familiar with.

Whenever Glonia was thinking of something, she would show this kind of smile that seemed calm and calm to outsiders.

"Gronia..."

She finally couldn't help it and said: "I was afraid of spoiling your affairs during the day and didn't dare to speak up. Can I ask now?"

Gronia, who was sleeping on the other bed, sighed: "I've been waiting for you to ask me, and now I'll tell you the answer directly."

She turned and lay on her side, the moonlight penetrated the window and cast on her face, the coolness in those eyes made Mayne shiver subconsciously.

"Remember when we were humiliated by Prior in Beta City?"

Of course I remember, I will never forget it in my life, it's too shameful, Mayne said to himself.

"At that time, even the legendary Xia An did not use force to rescue us, because he knew that the consequence of doing so would be to become enemies of all adventurers on the Godfall Plateau."

"What kind of power is oppressing him? Is it the crooked principles of Prell, or the justice that Xia An believes in? Neither, it's the hearts of those adventurers!"

"That's also a force, a very powerful force. Once gathered, even legends will have to bow their heads."

"Compared to legends, these adventurers are as weak as ants, and they can be dealt with with a wave of their hands. But this will arouse greater hatred, let more ants gather, and eventually devour powerful existences like magic ants .”

"Pryor is very powerful. He understands this truth. He used such power to make Xia An bow his head. After Xia An came back, he wanted Nama to build the outer zone, just to compete with Prell for the hearts of the people."

Gronia's eyes lit up, as if her mind had been clarified and she had found her way.

"During this period of time, while digging, I was thinking about what to do to realize my vow on the scale of Tyr. Now I have figured it out."

Mayne is not an idiot, she also understood: "Are you trying to pull people like Banner out of Xia'andia to realize your dream?"

Gronia corrected seriously: "That's not a dream, it's my vow to the scale of Tyre!"

Then said: "Banner is actually not suitable, but it is still good as a springboard."

Mayne stammered: "Just, even if you want to recruit colleagues, you must be like-minded and sincere to each other! How can you deceive him? Isn't this bewitching? Isn't this what a paladin should never do? thing?"

"My vow has been confirmed by the scales of Tyr! Don't you understand, Mayne!"

Gronia was a little annoyed: "This means that as long as it is beneficial to the realization of the vow, all necessary words and deeds are just!"

Mayne was silent for a while, and his tone became bitter: "I knew it was like this, it was my fault. Glonia, I'm stupid and can't understand, but I think it's wrong to go on like this."

"Maen, how can you be so arrogant!?"

Gronia was really angry: "The scales of Tyre have recognized me, and I am indeed the princess of Alanis! How can this be attributed to you? As for whether it is right or not, you will find out after walking with me !"

"Go on..."

Mayne sighed: "Yes, Gloria, what else can I do besides walking with you?"

"Don't tell Frodo these things," Gronia warned solemnly: "This is not a game of hide-and-seek you played when you were young, your will is too weak, don't poke me in the basket!"

Mayne was a little scared: "I can't change it at all. If I really can't keep up with you, can you drag me away?"

Glonia gave her a blank look: "I will kill you! You are much heavier than me, and I can't hold you back."

The two looked at each other for a moment, then laughed at the same time.

"Okay, sleep! You know how to be lazy during the day, but I'm really digging."

Gronia turned to the other side, looking at her back, looking at her long hair glowing red under the moonlight, Mayne felt that this figure was extremely strange, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

………………

In the morning, another day began in the outer regions of Cheyandia.The so-called "outer zone" is just the name of the insiders of Xia'andia. According to the adventurers, this place is called the "Valley of Sanctuary". They are willing to settle here because of the protection of the paladins.

The adventurers left the rented wooden house in twos and threes, and went their separate ways.Some are exploring dungeons, some are hunting monsters, and some are setting up stalls at the entrance of the village.

Others went straight to the ridge surrounding the basin in Cheyandia, where the paladins set up open mines. As long as they registered their identity information in the Sanctuary Valley and rented a house, they could obtain mining authorization.Of course, the amount mined every day is limited, and a part of the ore must be handed over.

In the past, people had been secretly digging on the ridge. After the opening of the Adventurer's Guild in Beta City, the number of people secretly digging skyrocketed.While people are taking advantage, they are also worried about the paladin's reaction.The paladins in Xia'andia are easier to talk to than the paladins in other places, but they are still believers of mad gods in essence.

Unexpectedly, the paladin's reaction was very peaceful, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Since mines can be dug legally and secretly, and the punishment of paladins is extremely severe, why take risks.

So during this period of time, the Sanctuary Valley has attracted many adventurers to settle down.The villages and towns are expanding rapidly, and the river valley is thriving.

In the tall wooden house called "Valley Hall" by adventurers, a ranger is talking with Nama Hector, the manager of the Sanctuary Valley.

"Beta City has opened a shuttle bus to us, and there is also a ... machine? Those two-headed turtle cars and griffins outside the valley are from Beta City? I thought it was a mutual aid service between adventurers."

Hearing this news, Nama couldn't believe it.

"Beta City prohibits private individuals from doing such things. They gathered the adventurers who provided these services and organized something... a public transportation group, and set a unified price, which is half of the previous price."

"Beta City is still expanding the roads. It is said that a road directly connecting Xia'andia and Beta City will be paved. Even if you take a double-headed turtle car, it will only take half a day. It used to take a full three days."

The ranger's tone was also full of admiration: "It's so convenient..."

Nama took a deep breath as if she had a toothache, and when she thought about something, her face softened again: "How is the situation in Beta City now? They have built so many buildings, how many people have to be recruited to fill them up. Our Sanctuary River Valley can be filled within a month. , the regular residents have doubled, and now there are more than 1000 people, do they have this number?"

The other party smiled awkwardly, shattering the complacency in the girl paladin's heart.

Nama asked cautiously: "They...there won't be 2000 people, right?"

You Xia shook his head, Nama said again: "Three thousand? Four thousand?"

The other party was still silent, and Nama stared: "It's impossible to reach five thousand, right? How many people are there in the Shenyun Plateau?"

The ranger couldn't bear it and said: "I don't know the exact number, but half of the residential areas in the outer city are home to people. A rough estimate, there should be 7000 to [-] people. I also heard that the red clothes in Beta City, that is, the scarlet believers Said, I am afraid that the new district will have to be rebuilt in half a year, which is half a year ahead of schedule."

Six 7000 people...

Nama smiled awkwardly, but there was a storm in her heart. Outside the Shenyun Plateau, this was already the size of a town.The difference is that most of these people are extraordinary.

"Beta City provides good housing conditions for adventurers, and the price is also very low. Separated from the living room, bedroom, bathroom, storage room and even a kitchen suite, it only costs three gold bushels a month, and if you pay adventure points, it only costs 20 Points. If you are willing to undertake public service, such as public security patrols, town construction, administrative affairs, etc., you can reduce it by half.”

Hearing what the ranger said again, Nama's heart tightened. In the Shelter Valley, a cabin with nothing but a bed costs two gold bushels a month.

When she set this amount, she felt that it was enough for adventurers to regard this place as a paradise. The gold bulls paid were not just for accommodation. The safety and order provided by the paladins were included in this price.

Then she noticed something, adventure points?

"The virtual currency issued by the Beta City Adventurer's Guild is what the Crimson Cultist said. It is like money, but it has no substance. It can be exchanged for many things in the Adventurer's Guild. The various services provided by Beta City can now also use points Bought."

"Adventurers can also use points to trade with each other. The taverns and service agencies opened by adventurers also start to collect points. The transportation from Beta City to the Shelter Valley, the double-headed turtle car only costs 5 points, which is very cheap."

The ranger's enthusiastic explanation made Nama frowned deeply.Although she doesn't deal with businessmen for a long time like Nicole, she manages the Shelter Valley, and she has enough sensitivity to matters related to the economy.

"In the past few days, I often see adventurers touching their wrists together and pointing. I thought it was some special way of communication, so they were doing business?"

Her face gradually became gloomy: "No wonder we receive less and less gold bushels. Adventurers either take ore or use other things to pay for various expenses. Our warehouse is full of various materials that are not needed. It forced Nicole to go to Beta City twice a day to trade."

"This is not acceptable, this is being sucked blood by Beta City..."

You Xia shrank back timidly, and moved his wrist to the side, this movement is very familiar.

Nama remembered that her sister often did this in front of her.

She asked helplessly: "The thing on your wrist is something that is traded with adventure points?"

Now that he was discovered, the ranger also went all out, and rolled down his sleeves, revealing the wristbands he was wearing.

The leather base has a lot of mesh and is quite breathable.The threads that should be magic metal are woven into a complex magic circle in the center, protected by a layer of transparent glue, and on the other side are several small origin stone areas similar to the sensor device of the magic gun.

The ranger pressed his finger on a certain source stone area, and a scene of transparent light and shadow was projected into the air.

"This is an adventurer's assistant. It has many functions. Storing and trading adventure points is just one of them. I heard that the 3000 version will add a magic SMS function. Now the 2000 version we wear can be upgraded for free."

Seeing that Nama was still silent, the ranger continued: "In fact, Sanctuary Valley can also be added to this point system. It is not only very convenient for adventurers, but also can get more benefits in Beta City. Some adventurer settlements have already joined. Beta City plans to install protective barriers in those settlements, in addition to protecting safety, it can also back up the transaction records of each adventure point to make transactions safer."

Nama glared: "Shante, why are you speaking for Beta City? Although we are not hostile to Beta City, we are not a vassal of Prell either!"

The ranger lowered his head and sighed: "I know, Nama, but the reality is like this. As for the vassal you mentioned..."

He smiled wryly and said: "You may not know that at least one-third of the more than 1000 people in the Shelter Valley first settled down in Beta City and then came to live with us temporarily. The area they are active in is more In the west, it is more convenient to settle here, but Beta City is their real home."

The ranger left for a long time before Nama came back to her senses.

She clutched her forehead, feeling dizzy.

This is not the Shelter Valley that the mentor wants to see!

When the instructor came back, she found that the Sanctuary Valley had become a vassal of Beta City. The residents of the valley obeyed the laws of Beta City and reflected the justice of Beta City. How should she explain?

One-third of the people are from Beta City, and they just use this place as a temporary place to stay.More and more people traded Beta City's adventure points instead of gold bulls, and the tax collection plan she was conceiving would not work at all.

Coupled with the transportation services provided by Beta City and the roads under construction, this is obviously a conspiracy of the Duke of Pryor. While turning the Sanctuary Valley into a vassal land, he will erode the paladins of Cheyandia, and through economic trade, make Cheyandia Be tied to Beta City.

That young duke has such a vicious mind...

Nama thought so, and her mind was fluttering again, so young, how could she be so powerful?
She whispered to herself: "His plot must be smashed!"

But how?This is not a duel, nor is it about eradicating evil, justice... There is no way to practice justice in this kind of thing.

And when the mentor left, he specifically told him not to conflict with the Duke of Prell, and Nama didn't know how to deal with it.

In the evening, another tutor meeting was held.

This time, a red-haired girl appeared in the corner.

Gloria has completed a month of practice, and according to the usual practice, she has become a part of Xia'andia.And because she has reached the hero level and has been recognized by Tyr's Scale, Banner nominated her to be a new member of the Mentor Council, and no one, including Nama, objected.

Banner got up to speak, this time his look and words were much firmer than last time.

"Who said paladins can't create a beautiful and just country? I am very confident about this, Nama, I am willing to accept the conclusion you mentioned last time!"

Banner said confidently: "One month! In just one month, you can see that the outer zone will become more kind, more orderly, and more prosperous!"

People talked a lot, and Banner and Glonia exchanged a look, accumulating energy for each other, and prepared to fight Nama who would definitely oppose it.

The humming continued for a long time, until the magician Francis coughed, and the cabin calmed down.

Francis asked: "So Nama, what's your opinion?"

Nama glanced at everyone, then at Glonia, shaking her head slightly.

Finally, she looked at Banner and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Well, I have no reason to stop you from making such an attempt. Starting tomorrow, and for the next month, the outer zone will be under your management."

The magician changed color, and the others gasped. Nama seemed to be angry, and left without saying a word.
