Wizard's Journey

Chapter 545 The Trend Has Been Set

Two years later!

The completion of the trade route from Mothfrog City to Doma River signifies that Mothfrog City will become the first major city closely connected to relatively prosperous cities outside of the Nine-Headed Wrath Wizard Academy. Tens of thousands of Mothfrog City residents celebrated, and the entire city entered a festive atmosphere.

Naturally, the residents of Mothfrog City named this trade route after Grin, hence the name Grin's Road.

Green Road is only three meters wide and paved with bluestone slabs. Although it is only a low-level trade route, it will play an unimaginable role!

The four merchant guilds' ocean-going vessels anchored beside the port of Doma River. Green stood on the high platform, looking down at the numerous merchant caravans and the port, which, though still rudimentary, was well-equipped. He proclaimed, "From this day forward, this port shall be named Vivian Port."

Splash, whoosh, splash...

Amidst enthusiastic applause, merchants at the port drove their carriages toward Mothfrog City.

Today's merchants no longer need to herd elephants across swamps and thorn bushes, as was the case with the Wutong Gold Merchant Guild before roads were built.

After a brief celebration with the nobles of Mothfrog City, Green whispered to the accountant behind him, "Make a detailed record of today's port and trade route taxes."

"Yes."

The accounting manager stroked his little mustache excitedly and nodded.

Meeting the gaze of the president of the Wutong Gold Merchant Guild who had come all the way there, Green walked over. She was an old woman with very fair and delicate skin. Although she was over a hundred years old, as an ordinary human, Green could sense that her soul fire was still relatively stable and showed no signs of dissipation.

Behind the old woman were two legendary knights.

"Congratulations to Lord Green on the official completion of Vivian Port! These two Stonescale Beast cubs are a small token of our appreciation from the Wutong Gold Merchant Guild!"

Behind the old woman, more than ten burly knights carried in a huge iron cage. Inside, two scaled cubs, each about a meter long, were pawing at the cage and roaring like newly weaned tigers.

"Um?"

"This guy!"

The other guild leaders who planned to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Mothfrog City looked at the two Stone-Scaled Beast cubs in surprise. The Wutong Gold Guild had actually invested so much in Mothfrog City.

Green naturally knew the value of the two cubs.

These young beasts are relatively easy for humans to tame in the wizarding world. Once they reach adulthood, they easily possess the strength of legendary knights, making them comparable in value to the Flame Bird of the Flame Mercenary Group.

The Wutong Gold Merchant Guild actually sent two, which means they really intend to develop a closer, long-term partnership with Mothfrog City.

If I remember correctly, the Magnolia Will Mercenary Group, which had magic apprentices, was recruited by the Wutong Gold Merchant Guild from the Three Thunder Tower Wizard Academy area.

"You're too kind, Chairman."

With a broad smile, Green directed the knights behind him to carry away the cage containing the two Stonescale Beast cubs. He then tentatively asked, "I wonder if the Wutong Gold Merchant Guild has any interest in cooperating on the construction of the Mothfrog City airport?"

In the previous contract, Wutong Gold only provided technical support to the Mothfrog City air port.

However, given the Wutong Gold Merchant Guild's intention to engage in large-scale cooperation, Green timely proposed his own cooperation intention.

"That's exactly what I was thinking!"

The old woman smiled broadly, extending her right hand, which she had already prepared a cooperation agreement...

Later, other chambers of commerce presented their gifts, but compared to the Golden Phoenix, these chambers of commerce clearly only intended to cooperate with Moth Frog City in a general sense.

night.

The accountant rushed excitedly into Green's room, saying, "My lord, today's tax revenue from Vivian Port and Green Road totaled eight hundred and twelve gold coins!"

Having anticipated this, Green nodded in satisfaction.

Today is the first day, so the income will be higher. If you can maintain one-third to one-half of today's income in the future, your annual net income will be over 10,000 gold coins, which is by no means a small amount.

As for the raw material processing workshops and service industries that have sprung up like mushrooms after rain because of this trade route and the port of Vivian, the indirect increase in revenue will be more than ten times that of the trade route itself!

In this way, the Moth Frog City's fate is sealed!

…………

Two months later.

The employment contracts signed between the Flame Mercenary Group, the Roaring Earth Mercenary Group, the Magnolia Will Mercenary Group, and Mothfrog City have expired.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Half a year ago, Lingwei City sent envoys to sign a peace treaty with Moewa City. As Moewa City's development momentum grew stronger and stronger, the construction of trade routes became unstoppable, and Lingwei City could no longer withstand Moewa City's offensive.

There's no need for Mothfrog City's war offensive anymore. Mothfrog City's wealth has already attracted too many impoverished civilians from Lingwei City to come here in search of a livelihood. Mothfrog City has already become the economic center of this region.

In just a few years, Moth Frog City will surely be a level above the surrounding Lingwei City, Aifeng City, and Sweet Potato City!

If the Mothfrog City air port is completed and becomes a city directly under the jurisdiction of the Nine-Headed Wrath Wizard Academy, then it will be a city that is two levels higher!

The Blazing Flame Mercenary Group and the Roaring Earth Mercenary Group left one after another, leaving only the Magnolia Will Mercenary Group behind.

The old wizard apprentice of the Magnolia Will Mercenary Group stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Green.

"Master, I only have a few years left to live, and my only concern is my daughter. I've heard that you've signed a bloodline magic contract with Knight Wood One, and that after your term as mayor of Mothfrog City expires, you will guide Knight Wood One to the Abyss Knight's Perseverance Academy?"

Green nodded and said calmly, "Yes."

The old wizard apprentice took a deep breath and asked, "May I ask, Master, what level of bloodline magic is the Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon? What price would my daughter, Bo Xiang Yulan, have to pay if she were to sign the same contract with you?"

Ok?

Green pondered for a moment, then fell silent. Unexpectedly, Mu Yi knelt on one knee and said, "Lord Green, I hope you..."

Green stopped Mu Yi and asked curiously, "You like her?"

"Well?"

Not good at expressing herself, Mu Yi didn't know what to say and stammered for a long time without uttering a single word.

The resolute and reliable legendary knight stood there dumbfounded, at a loss for what to do.

"Mu Yi, it's either yes or no. I was once like you, but I want to tell you, don't miss out on the beauty right in front of you."

Mu Yi gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Yes!"

Grimm glanced at the blushing Bo Xiangyulan, a smile playing on his lips, and said to her father, "The Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon originates from a level three creature in the Shadow Mystery World. It belongs to the highest level of bloodline magic, meaning that a knight possessing this bloodline magic will have a slight chance of successfully becoming a great knight comparable to a level three great wizard!"

Green paused, then continued, "As for its drawbacks, the Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon must regularly consume a certain amount of sulfur; otherwise, its power will gradually weaken. Prolonged abstinence from sulfur can even lead to the Bloodmoss within its body turning against its host!"

Bloodline witchcraft inevitably has its disadvantages.

Even so, both Bo Xiangyulan and the old wizard apprentice were all captivated, their eyes filled with surprise as they looked at Green.

Green said to the old wizard apprentice, "I happen to have preserved several of these naturally powerful alien creatures' bloodlines. As for the conditions, to be honest, Mu Yi was my deceased junior sister's favorite child. If your daughter, Bo Xiang Yulan, can become his wife, I will, as an elder, bestow my blessing upon both children after the city master's term ends, transplant the Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon bloodline witchcraft into them simultaneously."

…………

Ten years later.

The development of Moth Frog City is becoming increasingly rapid.

Not only in the surrounding cities of Lingwei, Sweet Potato, and Aifeng, but also in more distant cities like Datong and Linglan, residents, attracted by the prosperous life brought about by the rapid rise of Ewa City, began to migrate in large numbers.

Moth Frog City is like a monstrous maw, devouring the ever-growing influx of refugees.

It could be said that all the fertility incentive programs implemented by Green's fellow students during the assessment had benefited Green.

In the city lord's palace.

Green addressed the three kneeling legendary knights: "Your mission is to lead a thousand city guard knights to annihilate every single bandit roaming the trade route! Be careful, those guys are no ordinary people, bring your Stonescale Beasts."

"yes!"

The three legendary knights left the hall.

These three legendary knights are Mu Yi, Bo Xiang Yulan, and a legendary knight who was reborn in Moth Frog City seven years ago.

However, unlike Mu Yi's choice, this newly promoted legendary knight is a nobleman who only wants to continue enjoying his noble life in Mothfrog City after inheriting his family.

Bo Xiangyulan and Mu Yi got married eight years ago. Bo Xiangyulan's father passed away five years ago with a smile that left him with no regrets. Bo Xiangyulan and Mu Yi had a daughter four years ago, named Mu Weiwei, seemingly in memory of Grandma Vivian.

"Dad, Mom."

Mu Weiwei ran out with her parents, her big eyes filled with tears and reluctance. After being coaxed by Bo Xiangyulan for a while, she pointed at Green and said, "Go play with your Grandpa Green."

Green smiled and said, "Come on, little Vivi, Grandpa will take you to the Knight Academy to play with the myna bird, okay?"

While coaxing Xiaowei, Green glanced at Muyi and Boxiang Yulan as they walked away, a smile playing on his lips.

Even the Shadow Thousand-Eyed Wizard Academy has taken notice of this. Using such low-level tactics to cause trouble shows that Mothfrog City's development has indeed become the best in all aspects among the many cities undergoing the assessment.

At least, Green had never heard of any other city having a legendary knight bandit group that suddenly appeared like Mothfrog City.

However, the city of Mothfrog is no longer a place where a mere legendary knight and his band of a hundred or so bandits can roam freely!

Take Mu Yi and Bo Xiangyulan for example. They each inherited the entire property of a deceased wizard apprentice, which is something that ordinary legendary knights cannot compare to.

really.

Seven days later, the three legendary knights returned to Mothfrog City with a large number of bandit prisoners and the head of the legendary knight bandit, amidst a grand celebration from the residents.

Two four-meter-long stone-scaled beasts stood majestically in the center of the knights' ranks.
