"Yeah! That's it, but it costs a lot of money to establish a spell association, right?" Chen Kai took the approval clause from Xu Fei. This is a document issued by the Hansting Empire Imperial Capital Spell Association General Association, which shows that the Imperial Spell Association General Association approved the establishment of a spell association branch in Berkner. However, this does not mean that Berkner Township can immediately obtain a spell association branch. After all, spell casters are a group of people who need money very much. Whether it is spell research or scroll production, gold coins are needed as a support.

"Well! It takes about one million gold coins!" Xu Fei estimated it a little and said the number that made Chen Kai stagnant for a long time. He did not say that it was the lowest price. In fact, it would take at least ten million gold coins to establish a branch of a magic association. It was ten times that Xu Fei said, but such gold coins could not be collected at all unless Chen Kai sold the holy weapon in the treasure room. Now the gold coins in Chen Kai's pocket are only more than five million, which would have to pay the soldiers' salary and various chores for next month. It can be said that the operation of the entire Berkner Town is supported by Chen Kai's money bag.

The large amount of gold coins made Chen Kai's pocket dry up quickly. If it weren't for the recent attacks by demonized soldiers, Chen Kai had allowed him to exchange some gold coins for the equipment of those demonized soldiers to relieve the insufficient amount of money, perhaps Chen Kai would have started to have a headache about money now. However, most of the equipment taken off the demonized soldiers was digested by Chen Kai himself, and only those with poor quality were sold by Chen Kai.

What Chen Kai did not expect was that the most money was not the player lords around him, but the nobles of the Northern Aboriginal Noble Alliance. But they bought not only equipment, but the head of the demonized giant lizard. To put it bluntly, it was to buy it back and make it into specimens to show off. This kind of thing made Chen Kai very speechless, but the other party's bid was not low, so Chen Kai sold it half and half to those lords. After all, for Chen Kai, the head of the demonized giant lizard was just a pile of garbage, and its blood contained very little magic power. It could not be used as a mixing agent for the magic scroll ink. The most important thing is that the flesh of the demonized giant lizard cannot be eaten, and it cannot be used as fertilizer. Except for the skin and bones, Chen Kai did not know what the magical lizard is of use.

Of course, in order to sell for a good price, Chen Kai did not saw the horns above. If they were sawed, they might be able to make several bone-like daggers or daggers. But even if they made them into daggers, the price was not as high as those nobles who showed their military achievements. Because it was not a method of alchemy, it would be a whiteboard weapon worth a thousand gold, but it was sold to the other party, Chen Kai sold 150,000 gold coins. Chen Kai thought that no one would be the sucker at such a high price. As a result, he found that there were really people doing this. The heads of the four demonized giant lizards made Chen Kai transfer a total of 600,000 gold coins. In the end, all of these money was used as funds established by Xu Fei. In addition to contributing 600,000 gold coins, Chen Kai also paid 600,000 out of his own pocket. Although in Xu Fei's opinion, this little gold coins is still not enough, but an ordinary spell association can be established.

When the Spell Association of Berkner Town was officially listed, the Mercenary Association and Adventurers Guild in the town had been open for nearly a month. Although there were still very few mercenaries and adventurers coming to Berkner Town. However, it was much better than when the city was just established. There were many spies from the Northern Noble Alliance than those who ventured to the south. Chen Kai did not have many ways to do such people. As long as Chen Kai could not grasp the evidence, he would drive out of the city. Those who seized the evidence would confiscate the equipment and beat the city out of the city.

Of course, those spies that can be found are definitely second-hand fools. Chen Kai cannot drive out some residents who cannot find evidence without reason. Therefore, the spies who have been driven out of the town are only a few stupid spies who feel too good, and they don’t know how to restrain themselves, as if it is very honorable to be a spy. Of course, for such two spies, Chen Kai will definitely not be ruthless and beat them with the mercenary group where he is. However, only these two spies are cleaned by the equipment. Chen Kai did not move. Because Chen Kai didn’t want to offend these mercenaries too much, who knows if there are any more powerful existences hidden among them. Even though these mercenaries have the possibility of acting as spies in the Northern Noble Alliance, Chen Kai is still unwilling to have a head-on conflict with most mercenaries.

After all, if Chen Kai's city wants to develop in the future, it will still have to rely on mercenaries to protect the caravans to reach the city. If there is no caravan protection and relying solely on Chen Kai's troops, then it is estimated that many caravans will not be able to cross the Rift Valley from Altinis to Berkner Town in a year. The most important thing is that Chen Kai still relies on the power of mercenaries to open the road to Altinis. Relying on his troops alone may take several years to block the trade routes in the northern and southern regions to be connected. But Chen Kai's wealth cannot last for so long, and the prime minister of the Hansting Empire cannot allow Chen Kai to accumulate strength for so long. Those stern-worded administrative orders are a true portrayal of the heart of the empire prime minister. Although he also knew that he could not force Chen Kai's travelers too much, if Chen Kai gave up his burden, he would not find a new sucker to do this.

You should know that not every stupid nobleman can win the favor of that count. Not every baron doesn't know what the current situation in Hugodi is causing. In fact, they all know very well that opening the road to Altinis is not a difficult thing for the Hansting Empire, but the difficulty lies in the fact that opening up this trade route will harm the interests of some current vested interests. In fact, the reason why the Hansting Empire's army did not come to open up the trade route is very simple, that is, they are all used to guard against those high prices.

Of course, the most important point is that the empire did not waste so much money on finding the troops of the former lord of Hugodi. After all, there are too many underground passages in the Great Rift Valley. It is definitely a thankless thing to find the former lord of Hugodi and his remnants of the underground passages with all connections. Military expenditure alone requires tens of millions of gold coins. For the Hansting Empire, restoring the vitality of the Golden Plain is the most important thing. As for whether the trade routes are connected, it is not too late to deal with the food crisis.

However, this made Chen Kai a bitter, because he was basically ordered by the imperial prime minister every week, and roughly asked when the trade route could be connected. For the imperial prime minister, everyone knew the severity of the imperial food crisis. In fact, the food in the north of Hansting was not as rich as expected. The current food inventory can be consumed completely on the premise of not wasting. But the reality is that the food waste is even more serious, and the prime minister also knew very well that the actual food in the empire's granary was definitely comparable to the account.

There are even fewer ones on the surface. In fact, no matter which era the granary is the most important place in a country, but it is usually the most easily overlooked and nourished place. Prime Minister Capello was favored by the current empire emperor because of dealing with the granary. But at the same time, he was more aware of the only problem he had dealt with. The royal family, the imperial nobles and officials, and the bureaucrats in the grain warehouse turned the granary of the empire into a huge rat nest. Whether it was reselling grain or using inferior food as good food, those bastards had done it.

But the people involved in this are too big. Prime Minister Capello did not dare to uncover the lid. Once it was uncovered, not only would he die, but even his current Capello family would die without a burial place. So he could only desperately ask Chen Kai to speed up the opening of the Great Rift Valley business road to prevent the food crisis from breaking out early, thus causing him, the prime minister. Of course, in Chen Kai's opinion, the prime minister was a bit too demanding, and he was completely like he wanted the horse to run quickly and not eat grass. In addition to the administrative orders, Prime Minister Capello

It is completely unreasonable to give Chen Kai without any practical support. It is not even reasonable to ask Chen Kai to do a lot of things without even giving any gold coins. Of course, the Prime Minister Capello may be poorer than him. After all, the matter of the Golden Plain has not yet ended well. To completely restore the soil of the Great Plain, the soil element caster needs to cooperate with the temple priest to continuously clean up the death power that penetrated into the soil. This is an extremely long process. In such a process, the granary of the Golden Plain, which was extremely prosperous in the past, has almost become the most painful place for the empire.

Most of the remaining residents here have lost the arable land they depend on for their livelihood. Although the land is still theirs, the things planted in the land can no longer be eaten by people. Anyone who eats these foods will die or become half-human and half-corpse. At the same time, the plants planted in the soil are gradually distorted. The trees keep dying and exuding a decay. This is the current Golden Plain. The harvest in the past was enough to allow the entire Hansting Empire to have a rich place without famine for two years, but now it continues to emit a breath of death. Although the Hugodi territory is still separated from the Golden Plain by two or three counts, there are still many refugees who fled here.

Chen Kai, who personally experienced the ghoul disaster in the Golden Plain, is very aware of the consequences of that disaster. The accumulated grains in the granary were either burned or polluted, and basically they could not be eaten. Although there are several lords working hard to restore the production of the territory in the Golden Plain. Especially Chen Kai's senior brother and Prime Minister Capello's unworthy son are all in this place, while trying to stabilize the territory. But they are even more miserable than Chen Kai. Although the territory is almost twice the area of ​​Chen Kai's territory, there may be almost no place to cultivate. The soil of the large area of ​​the land is black. But it is not fertile black, but rotten black that exudes a strong smell of death. Live on such a land, even ordinary people will gradually get strange diseases and die suddenly, so they are simply fighting for their lives as lords.

What a large number of temple priests do every day is to constantly release divine magic to disperse the power of death in the soil, but these powers of death are growing faster than the speed of the priests dispersing. In the end, they can only choose to completely shovel up the most fertile soil on the surface. A full thirty centimeters of soil layer must be shoveled off, and a large number of earth element casters do not have a good rest for this. They need to work four or five hours a day, and then constantly meditate to restore magic. The rocks composed of these soils are eventually transported to a place and piled up into a death highland that was later called the Cursed Land by players.

All the rocks here are black and red, exuding a strong aura of death. After ordinary lives arrive here, even if they are strong like a cow, they will age and die very quickly if they are not professionals. The dead creatures here will instantly become undead, and due to the enrichment of a large amount of death power, a road to the underworld is naturally opened here. Some undead who escaped from the underworld live here and continue to grow. Of course, this is almost a year later. At present, the land of the Golden Plain is in this way.

The lower part gradually recovers, and at least it can be restored to a state where it can be cultivated in a short period of time. Even if the grain yield of this kind of farming is extremely low, it is almost a little better than the grain-free harvest. Since the fertile soil has been completely eradicated, there are basically new soil without any fertility. So in fact, although Chen Kai's territory is a little smaller, it is still a relatively good place. However, no matter how good the place is, if he cannot open up the trade route to Altinis, then Prime Minister Capello would not mind taking Chen Kai's surgery. Let him also taste the taste of escaping to the underground world as a mouse.

Don't think that this is a joke. If the trade routes of the Great Rift Valley are really not connected, resulting in the food from the south not being transported to the north in time, and eventually the empire's granary broke out. Then maybe Prime Minister Capello will die all his family, but before that, he will let Chen Kai be chased until he dies.

So although Chen Kai directly threw Prime Minister Capello's orders into the trash can as waste paper, he knew in his heart that he had to complete this seemingly impossible task. Although he could ask Altinis to attack the Great Rift at the same time, the druids of Altinis would not obey Chen Kai's orders. As the last holy land of the goddess of nature, although Altinis is located in Hansting, it is not controlled by the royal family of the Hansting Empire. If the Great Druid helps Chen Kai, it is friendly. If he doesn't help Chen Kai, Chen Kai can't do anything to the other party. The most important thing is that Chen Kai does not think that Altinis' druids will obey the orders of the Great Rift and come to sacrifice for Chen Kai. Although Altinis may cooperate with the attack on the monsters in the Great Rift, they will definitely not be able to use all their strength to help Chen Kai to clear all the monsters and demonized soldiers in the Great Rift.

However, before that, Chen Kai had to solve the problem of military force, and at the same time, he had to solve the problem of a group of horse thieves who had wandered into his territory. Chen Kai, who suddenly appeared in the territory, thought it was played by the demonized cavalry at first. As a result, when his cavalry fought with the other party, he suddenly found that these horse thieves had migrated from the Golden Plain. They could no longer make a living in the Golden Plain and chose to spread around. This group of horse thieves with more than 5,000 people chose

They chose to enter Hugodi, a territory that had lost the great lord. The most important thing is that they had looted the two players' territories. Although they were not completely successful, they roughly inferred the strength of these territories. When they appeared in Chen Kai's territory, they were first stunned by Chen Kai's walls, and then immediately showed a greedy look. After all, the bigger the town, the more wealth there was. The most important thing was that they learned from the looted players that there was food in Chen Kai's territory.

Of course, there is also food in the territory of the noble alliance in the north, and it is more food than Chen Kai. But they learned from the players that Chen Kai is also a traveler. A traveler's territory is usually easier to deal with than the territory of the natives. This is the two players' territory that these horse thieves robbed. So they chose Chen Kai, a town located in the south of Hugodi, to rob.

In fact, if they could find out clearly, they would never choose Chen Kai, a lion with hidden minions. Unfortunately, they had arrived at Hugodi Territory too short. And they were too short of food. The most important thing was that although the two players' territories repelled their attacks, they paid a lot of money. Such defense made these horse thieves look down on the city of travelers, even if Chen Kai's town looks stronger. Of course, these horse thieves would not choose to attack the city directly, but instead attack Chen Kai's troops outside, thereby constantly weakening his army's strength and eventually luring Chen Kai out of the city to fight.

But these horse thieves didn't know that when they led Chen Kai out of the city, they got not a victory, but a terrible death. When the news of the first patrol attack was passed to Chen Kai, he had already begun to prepare for the war horses. The horse thieves were very happy to find that the battle they expected appeared earlier than they expected. Because they saw Chen Kai walking out of the town with about three thousand cavalry, and only one-third of the more regular cavalry among them was less than one-third, and the others were extremely messy cavalry.

Compared with horse thieves with regular cavalry organizations, Chen Kai's cavalry is simply a miscellaneous army. You should know that the horse thieves who successfully escaped the ghoul disaster and escaped to Hugodi's leadership alive are the most fierce and powerful horse thieves gangs on the Golden Plain. The leader of this horse thieves gang, Broken Knife, is the larger horse thieves leader on the Golden Plain. He once had nearly 10,000 subordinates. Although only half of them are left now, they are all elites, who are not elites, basically either die under the mouths of ghouls or on the way to escape. Therefore, Black Jack is very confident that he can kill Chen Kai's miscellaneous army. Even if he feels a little dizzy when he looks at Chen Kai's huge body, he cannot hide his confidence in victory.
