Don't call me evil god

Chapter 735: The Miracle City on the Border

Except for the person involved, everyone else would be angry when hearing about this kind of thing.

Fradin could guess what the nobles were thinking without even having to think.

Their income comes from two sources.

Grants from the king and taxes within the territory.

The former is fixed.

The latter depends on the prosperity of the territory.

The more prosperous a city is, the more taxes it collects, and naturally the higher its income will be.

Allow the new carriages made by the seekers of knowledge to enter their territory?

Doesn't that mean that the original residents of the territory will be more likely to leave and move to Ceylon?
Even if it is a good thing at the level of the kingdom as a whole.

Those noble lords would definitely not agree to it.

The things of the kingdom belong to the royal family;
Only the things in your noble territory belong to you.

That's what they think.

And this is not a problem that can be solved simply by the king issuing laws.

Issue a decree requiring all territories in the kingdom to allow free passage of new-style carriages?

Yes, yes.

But for these noble lords far away on the eastern border, they have plenty of ways to pretend to obey or secretly sabotage.

For example, it is a cold winter now.

After the road was cleared, some people were hinted, instructed, and arranged to pour a few buckets of water on it under the cover of night. It would not take long for the road to freeze into a dangerous ice surface, greatly increasing the possibility of accidents involving carriages.

There are many similar methods.

When it comes to accountability, those who threw water and did mischief will be arrested.

Don't think that the nobles are incapable of doing such things.

After seeing the true faces of the nobles in the royal capital, Fradin now has great doubts about their bottom line.

When their interests are infringed upon, these people may not be willing to abide by the rules and aristocratic etiquette.

“Hiss…” Fradin got a headache the more he thought about it. He was so angry that he took a deep breath and said, “Is there no way to solve this problem?”

Nico shrugged helplessly.

“In fact, we have already taken measures.”

"Even if cars can't get in, people can still get in."

"So, since the beginning of winter, we have been sending people to several nearby noble territories. We have been working together to help those who want to move to Ceylon Territory to arrive smoothly."

"However, this is not very efficient. After all, our number is limited. If we bring too many people, there will be... uh, some unavoidable accidents on the road."

Gail's mouth twitched when he heard this.

From this perspective, he could probably understand why the lords of several nearby noble territories were unwilling to allow the entry of new-style carriages and the like.

Before the new horse-drawn carriages, the great weapon of destruction, were introduced to clear the way, people were rushing to Ceylon;

If we really let the new carriages in, will there be any survivors in other territories?
This conflict is almost irreconcilable.

The more people run to Ceylon, the more serious the damage to the interests of those nobles will be.

But Pete thought of something while thinking.

He spoke softly, thoughtfully:
"There may be a way to improve efficiency."

“But whether it can be realized or not will have to wait until we find Evelyn in Dawn City and confirm it when we meet her.” Lena’s eyes lit up.

She guessed what Pete was thinking.

If it's related to Evelyn, then it has something to do with the power of the devil.

Add to that the demand for population migration and immigration.

What could be more convenient than the [Summoning Ritual]?
In addition to borrowing the power of hell from Raphael, Evelyn can now become the second choice for believers seeking knowledge!

……

Everyone was discussing the issue of the immigration of the nearby nobles. Before they knew it, Ford's voice could be heard again from outside the carriage:
"Everyone! We have five minutes left before arriving at Dawn City. If you are asleep, please wake up and check your luggage carefully! Wuyou Travel will not be responsible for any loss caused by omissions!"

Fradin turned his head in surprise and looked out the window.

"We're here? So soon?!"

In the past, traditional horse-drawn carriages, unless they were top-quality horses specially trained and tamed by rangers, most horses were not strong enough to sustain running for long periods of time, especially when pulling heavy carriages.

When traveling, people often stop and run to give the horses time to recover their strength.

There is no need to worry about this kind of magic-driven carriage.

As long as the magic crystal inserted in the high-frequency charging array has not exhausted the arcane energy it stores, the endless power will steadily drive it forward!
Outside the window, one can already see the huge outline of Dawn City in the night from afar.

"Gudu."

Fradin swallowed in shock.

Although the scale of Dawn City is not as exaggerated as that of the royal capital Starosh.

But it has its own unique characteristics!
The night sky above the city has been completely dispelled by the lights and neon lights that are almost everywhere in the city, so bright that it seems like daytime!
The so-called "lights and neon" are, to put it bluntly, the effects of magic.

Whether it is the simplest [Illumination] or the more complex [Arcane Projection] magic, it is itself a luminous light source that can produce light.

When hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of colorful light sources gather in a city...

A miraculous city that never sleeps was born.

This place is more dazzling than the Holy Land of Glow, because no matter how dark the darkness is, it cannot cover the brilliant light blooming in this city!
The most shocking part is:
It has only been just over two months since construction began!
The birth of the entire city is a miracle!
It's not just Fradin.

In the carriage, those people from other noble territories were also shocked when they actually saw the appearance of Dawn City!
Although it still seems very simple in many details.

For example, the so-called city wall is just a rough framework, and there are still a lot of projects waiting to be implemented;
For example, there are no heroic statues like Starosh’s that represent the craftsman’s skills;

But all the problems cannot conceal its breathtaking brilliance!

If you look down from a high altitude.

After nightfall, in the almost completely dark land, other cities and towns can only be regarded as sparks, "fading away" under the invasion of night.

Dawn City is a truly dazzling and bright new star. It has just been born and is spreading more light and heat to the world!

Dolan introduced to Fradin with a proud tone:
"This is your first time in Dawn City. It may be difficult for you to understand our pursuit and love for light."

"This city was built when Ceylon fell into the disaster of eternal night. At that time, the entire land was completely shrouded in darkness."

"Here we found shelter and welcomed the first rays of dawn that marked the end of the disaster."

“Only after experiencing a long dark night can one appreciate the preciousness of dawn.”

“The most common and beloved thing in this great city is light.”

"Now, and even in the future, Dawn City will definitely be the brightest and most dazzling city in the entire Prentis continent."
