What Rhine wants is not an autonomous region, but a country within a country with complete sovereignty.
"If the city is managed by the Magic Unification Association, I have no objection." The king's meaning was clear.
This city must be managed by the Magic Unification Association and is the property of the Magic Unification Association, not any one person.
Because this city would be bound by the treaty of non-interference in each other's internal affairs and would not do anything that would harm the Kingdom of Solcière.
"That's no problem." Rhine agreed.
As long as he wanted, the entire Magic Unification Association would be his, not to mention a city.
"Now that we have finished discussing official matters, let's talk about personal matters."
"Private matter?" The king and his ministers were all confused.
"I, Wiseman, have been entrusted by Natasha, the current president of the Magical Unification Association, to write to you regarding the debt dispute between your Kingdom of Solcie and my client:
The heroic witch Natasha signed a employment agreement with your Kingdom of Solcie on August 427, 8 years ago. The Kingdom of Solcie commissioned the heroic witch Natasha to expel the ancient dragon that was wreaking havoc on the world.
The agreement clearly stipulates that after the heroic witch Natasha completes the extermination of the ancient dragon, the Kingdom of Solcie should pay the employer Natasha gold coins that will allow her to live freely for the rest of her life without having to work.
However, after our client Natasha successfully defeated the ancient dragon, the Kingdom of Solcie was unable to pay the remuneration promised in the agreement, so the king of the Kingdom of Solcie personally wrote a letter of commitment to repay, which was an IOU.
It states: The Kingdom of Solcie is now in a period of reconstruction and is unable to pay the reward promised to Her Excellency the Heroic Witch. Therefore, I hereby promise that as long as the Kingdom of Solcie exists, the Heroic Witch can go to the Kingdom of Solcie at any time with this certificate to claim the reward when the kingdom prospers. If any of the descendants do not comply, they will be expelled from the royal family tree and will never be buried in the royal mausoleum. Whoever can fulfill the promise with Her Excellency the Heroic Witch will be the new king.

Appendix: …………
The above materials can prove that the creditor-debtor relationship between our client Ms. Natasha and your country is clear, and your country should fulfill the debt owed to our client in a timely manner.
Normally, hiring a witch from the Demigod realm would cost at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins a day, and even if you had money you might not be able to hire one. But our client, Ms. Natasha, was kind-hearted and was willing to calculate the minimum amount of 100,000 gold coins a day.
Don't think it's too high. If Ms. Natasha is willing to work, with her status as the world's most powerful witch, people would rush to hire her even if the salary is 10 a day, even 100 million a day.
As a half-step god, born into the Silver Moon Elf race, it is normal for Ms. Natasha to live for 1,500 years, right? Assuming Ms. Natasha is 500 years old, she still has 1,000 years left to live.
Based on a daily salary of 427, the gold coins that can be obtained without working for a lifetime are billion gold coins. Since you have not fulfilled your repayment obligations according to the terms of the agreement for years, all the interest expenses incurred shall be borne by you.
We are not a loan shark, so we will calculate at the standard interest rate. Therefore, your Kingdom of Solciere should fulfill the obligation to pay the arrears and interest in accordance with the treaty, totaling 427,140,000,000 gold coins.
In order to safeguard the legal rights and interests of Ms. Natasha in accordance with the contract, and at the same time to avoid further expansion of your liability, we sincerely hope that you will attach importance to this matter and adopt an attitude of active cooperation. Within one week from the date of receipt of this reminder letter, you will complete the repayment obligations agreed upon by both parties and settle all the remuneration, interest but not limited to those that you should bear.
Otherwise, we will have to resort to legal means to safeguard our legitimate rights and interests. We will not be responsible for any losses that may be caused to your king at that time.
If the "laws" of that country cannot guarantee the fairness and justice of our client in this matter, then we will entrust a third party, the current president of the Magical Unification Association, to collect the debts on our behalf. We would like to inform you again that we are not responsible for any consequences caused by this, and we hope that you can pay attention to this matter.
The above is the entire content of this demanding lawyer’s letter. ”
After Rhine read out a long article in one breath, he gave a paper copy of the "lawyer's letter" to everyone present.
At the same time, the evidence materials that Susanna stole from the Ministry of Magic were handed over to the Golden Witch for review.
"Look, I didn't make this up. From private newspapers to official records to the king's autograph and historical records... it's well-documented and absolutely convincing. You can't speak for them, can you?"
"I don't care, do whatever you want!" The Golden Witch was so angry that she was shaking all over.
"You don't have to worry too much. I'm not a devil."
"It's impossible for you to pay it back in a week."
"I have already calculated it for you before I came here."
"The current annual income of the Solcie Kingdom is around 200 billion gold coins. As long as you maintain your current momentum, you can pay it all back in 24 years, which is less than a generation."
"I'll use more than 20 years to exchange for the continuation of the kingdom for more than 400 years. It's a huge profit!"
After the king finished reading the demand letter from Rhine and then looked at the pile of irrefutable evidence, he fainted without even being able to catch his breath.
"His Majesty!"
"His Majesty!!"
"Call the imperial physician here!"
"Eh? You don't want to default on your debt, do you?" Looking at the chaotic scene, Rhine quickly collected all the information, fearing that someone would swallow it directly. What if he did that?
(Ahhh, I haven't had such a good time writing in one go in a while! It was really annoying that I had to break off chapters every time I wrote something exciting. 2000 words simply can't express a complete plot. 294853441, the complete world view map is in the group file.)
Chapter 158: The Kingdom of Solcie (End)
It is not known whether the king did it on purpose, but the debt collection was forced to be suspended because of the king's "fainting".
Since there was no one in charge on the other side, Rhine had no choice but to agree to talk again tomorrow.
However, in order to prevent the king from claiming to be sick and refusing to see him, Rhine left an ultimatum before leaving.
If the kingdom does not give him a satisfactory answer within three days, he will entrust the matter to the president of the Magic Unification Association to handle it.
Because this is a personal debt dispute between the Kingdom of Solcie and Natasha, there is absolutely no reason for other world hegemonic forces to intervene.
After Rhine left, the king immediately regained consciousness and once again summoned civil and military officials to discuss the matter.
In the next three days, the delegations from the Kingdom of Rhine and Solcière finally finalized the repayment plan after much wrangling.
1. Grant the heroic witch Natasha the title of Duke of the Kingdom of Solcière, and reward her with a large amount of land and cities. She will enjoy the same treatment as the other two dukes in the kingdom, and her status will be equal to that of the king, and she does not need to pay tribute to the kingdom.
This plan seemed very good, as it was equivalent to getting a large territory and city for free, but Rhine felt that it could be slightly modified.
Although he is not good at playing tricks, is the other party treating him as a fool?
On the surface, it seemed that the kingdom gave Natasha a large number of cities and lands as compensation, but in fact, the Duke's land still belonged to the kingdom politically. The most important thing was that this move could also tie Natasha to the big ship of the Solcie Kingdom.
In this way, when other countries want to invade the Kingdom of Solcie, they will not dare to act because of the relationship between the world's strongest witch, the half-step god-level strongman, and the president of the Magic Integration Association.
Using a dukedom title can guarantee the survival of the kingdom for a thousand years. This may seem like a loss, but in fact it is already a win.
What's more, the Kingdom of Solcie itself is a country founded on magic. With the reputation of the world's strongest witch, is it afraid that it will not be able to recruit other witches?
How could Rhine let them do what they wanted when they wanted to achieve multiple goals at once? And after consulting Natasha, she herself expressed her unwillingness to be associated with any country. So after discussion between the two sides, the content of the agreement was revised again.
The Kingdom of Solcie permanently ceded the land in the Penicillac Mountains as Natasha's private territory. As Natasha's territory, this area will no longer have any relationship with the kingdom, and the kingdom will not be allowed to interfere in this area in any form for any reason or under any excuse.
Of course, the kingdom also has requirements, that is, Natasha cannot transfer the ownership of this area to anyone. This area can only be Natasha’s territory, otherwise the kingdom has the right to take back the territory.
You have to know that this amendment means a permanent cession of land, so why did the kingdom agree? This has a lot to do with the area that Rhine wants.
As we all know, there are hundreds of millions of magical beasts living in the Penicia Mountains, including some high-level magical beasts whose combat power is comparable to that of human legends. It is one of the few life forbidden areas that humans have not conquered in thousands of years of dominating the continent.
In order to resist the beast tides that appear every once in a while, the kingdom has deployed a large number of troops on the border near the Penicilla Mountains and invests a huge amount of defense spending here every year.
It can be said that this area is a hot potato for the Solcie Kingdom and it cannot be ignored. After all, if it is ignored, the beast tide will definitely cause serious casualties and property losses to the Solcie Kingdom.
If Natasha could take over this territory, it would mean that she would be at the forefront of the fight against the beast tide. After all, the treaty stated that the kingdom could not interfere in this area in any way, so it was naturally impossible to station a large number of troops.
From the kingdom's perspective, the beast tide is just a matter of a few forbidden spells for Natasha. They can safely hand over this area to Natasha for defense. This is why the kingdom requires that Natasha can only be the owner of this territory.
This move not only solved the national defense security of the western region of the kingdom, but also saved a lot of defense expenditures. The withdrawn troops could then be transferred to the eastern border. After all, the Daqing Empire was an ambitious country and the kingdom had to be on guard against it.
Rhine actually understood all the twists and turns here, but he still wanted the land.
Because this land is so fertile, not only does it have sufficient water, fertile soil and a suitable climate, but it also has extremely rich mineral and biological resources.
Moreover, a beast tide does not necessarily mean danger, it can also be an opportunity.
Because under normal circumstances, where would you get so many monsters to kill? These are a lot of experience and materials!
Going deep into the mountains and killing as many people as you can? Isn't that courting death? The legendary monsters in there are more than the legendary humans in the open. Didn't you see that Natasha, who is half a step into the divine realm, said that she was not sure she could escape unscathed?
Moreover, Rhine could completely follow the example of how humans resisted the demons and set up a super defensive city similar to the Demon Pass on the outskirts of the Penicillac Mountains, and then recruit adventurers from all over the world to come and work.
After all, the magic cores, fur, fangs and claws of Warcraft can all be sold at a good price. There are also many precious plants that are in short supply growing in the Penicia Mountains. These are factors that can attract adventurers.
So there is nothing that the Kingdom of Solcie has not thought of doing this?
Of course they thought about it. As a "magic kingdom", their demand for Warcraft cores and materials is already very huge. They have already spent so much manpower, financial resources and material resources, so why should they share a piece of the pie with adventurers?
The reason why the kingdom ceded this area to Natasha was that it felt that Natasha did not need these materials, and the kingdom could still negotiate with her about the acquisition later.
As for whether Rhine can withstand the tide of Warcraft beasts? That's a joke!
Who hasn’t played a tower defense game?
You should know that in this game, the Red Alert base vehicle is the favorite of players from the other world. If the system had not taken balance into consideration, the soldiers and buildings in the base vehicle could not be paid for with gold coins and could only be purchased with world coins. Players from the other world like Rhine would have completed the main quest long ago.
But like most game consoles, the main body is not expensive, only about 2,000 yuan, but the games are expensive! One game costs hundreds of dollars, and three or four games can buy a game console.
The same goes for the Red Alert base vehicle. 3000 world coins is not a lot, and most players can buy it by saving up for a month or two, but the buildings and troops inside are expensive!
Although these buildings and arms have been greatly enhanced compared to the original versions after systematic modifications, they are purchased with world coins after all!
If you want to fight a small-scale war, you will get nothing without tens of thousands of world coins. If you even want to fight a large-scale war, you will have to prepare hundreds of thousands of world coins.
But to be honest, the positioning of the Red Alert base vehicle is a bit useless, and early players can't afford it. After spending so many world coins, it still hasn't grown at all.
Players in the later stages looked down on it, because at that time the battles players faced were almost all at the level of gods fighting each other, and the Red Alert base vehicle seemed to be useless.
If there is no special need, few people will play the Red Alert base vehicle. Wouldn't it be nice to spend the world coins on it?
Rhine had spent a lot of world coins on Sea Kings during this period, and with the salary from his general agent, he had saved up nearly 10,000 world coins.
He can't fight a war, but he has no problem defending.
If necessary, he could place a bunch of light prism towers, magnetic storm coils, iron towers, or giant cannons around the Peniche Mountains. If that didn't work, wouldn't he still have super weapons? There was no way he couldn't defend it.
Let’s get back to the point. Both parties have met the first condition, and the subsequent handover will be discussed in detail by their respective subordinates in the future.
The second condition was to lease the second largest port city and the second largest river city of the Kingdom of Solcière to Rhine for 100 years. During this period, all the income of these two cities belonged to Rhine, and Rhine did not need to pay any taxes to the Kingdom of Solcière. In addition to not being able to have an army, Rhine had absolute autonomy over these two cities during this 100 years.
In fact, it was originally intended to be given to Natasha, but at her strong request, it was finally changed to Rhine. He said that this was his reward, and Rhine reluctantly agreed. Although the Kingdom was a little confused about this, but since the person involved said so, what other opinions did they have?
What's more, they doubted whether Rhine, who had offended the church, could live for 100 years. Anyway, as long as Rhine died, the kingdom would not have to wait for a hundred years to take back the two leased cities.
Finally, based on the annual income of the two cities of 200 to 300 billion, a hundred years would be 200 to 300 billion. In addition, the kingdom gave up the entire border area of the Penichesia Mountains. The Kingdom of Solcie finally paid off its huge foreign debt of more than 500 billion.
For the kingdom, these two conditions were completely acceptable to them. Although the tax revenue from the two cities was reduced, the reduced defense expenditure in the western region was more than enough to make up for this loss.
The only question now is when the two sides will complete the handover, and Rhine's requirement is more than a month later. In this month, the kingdom not only has to evacuate the people in the western region, but also has to think of a reason to explain this matter to the people of the country so as not to cause unrest.
As for why it was more than a month later, it was because the system would be updated in more than a month, and Rhine had to break through before the update to avoid wasting the experience in his current storage slot. After the update, the experience that could be stored in the experience storage slot would no longer be unlimited like it is now.
According to his current stored experience, as long as he completes the second-level task, he can immediately reach the peak of the second level, and after completing the third-level task, he can immediately reach the third level. In a short time, he has caught up with the tail of the first-tier players.
The most important thing is that after the second transfer, the player can open the card drawing function and the partner function. What Rhine lacks most now is management talents. After all, those kids in WCP are not suitable for business management, and Susanna, as an intelligence officer, cannot show up in public.
Even if he was given two cities, he didn't know how to develop them now. He wanted to complete the second-level task immediately so that he could draw cards.
Rhine stayed in the Kingdom of Solcière for a total of nine days.
On the first day, Rhine visited the Magical Integration Association branch and informed the branch director of his purpose.
The next day, Rhine and Natasha visited the royal capital and successfully took Susanna in, secretly establishing an underground intelligence organization.
On the third day, Rhine participated in the first academic exchange conference held by the Magic Integration Association and the Kingdom of Solcie. He successfully taught four wizards to defeat a quasi-high-level witch, creating new history, and after a scolding, made most of the witches reflect.
On the fourth day, the delegations of Rhine and Solcier Kingdom started negotiations, successfully making the kingdom hand over more than 400 years of technology and win a city of its own for the Magic Unification Association. However, when collecting the debt for Natasha, the king was forced to postpone it for one day due to health reasons.
On the fifth day, the second negotiation between Rhine and the Kingdom delegation did not go smoothly. Neither side achieved their goals and agreed to talk again tomorrow. After the negotiation, Rhine summoned his four registered disciples and began to explain to them what natural science is, opening the door to a new world for them. Maria Campbell sat in on the whole process.
On the sixth day, the third round of negotiations between Rhine and the Kingdom delegation reached a preliminary agreement, and the two sides agreed to start the fourth round of negotiations tomorrow. During this period, Rhine continued to teach the four people, giving them a concept of physics.
On the seventh day, after four rounds of negotiations, Rhine and the Kingdom of Solcie officially reached an agreement, and both sides were very satisfied with the results of the negotiations. The king once again hoped that Rhine could serve as the principal of the magic school, but Rhine refused. However, he agreed to accept Maria Campbell as his first official disciple. Then he continued to teach the four people.
On the eighth day, Rhine and the other four began to do some simple experiments, such as measuring the circumference of their planet. The method was very simple, and it could be done using the Eratosthenes measurement method.
Observing the position of the sun in two places at the same time, studying and analyzing the differences in the lengths of the shadows of objects to conclude the calculation of the circumference of the planets is an ancient method discovered by Eratosthenes more than 2,000 years ago.
(Students who are interested can search on Baidu. Due to space constraints, it is difficult for me to write the whole article for you, but it is really interesting.)
It was this experiment that made Rhine realize the terrifying size of his planet. After knowing the radius, Rhine measured the mass of the planet using the planet mass formula M=[(2π/T)2×r3]/G, and then used other formulas to measure the planet's gravitational acceleration, escape velocity, etc.
