Terra 775, May 18, Xiahui City.

The Victory Square, decorated with lights, was full of residents and tourists. As the groundbreaking ceremony was approaching on June 1, colorful curtains like rays of light had been hung on the street. The vendors setting up stalls along the street enthusiastically

Promote your own delicious snacks.

The hygiene of most of these roadside stalls is not very up to standard, but the tantalizing aroma and lively atmosphere really make people unable to control their hands.

A fleet of horse-drawn carriages that looked unremarkable in appearance, without even the slightest extra decoration, arrived at the city entry checkpoint - although Xiahui City did not have a city wall, there was still a management office on the avenue to review the fleet.

After passing the review, the envoy from the Huaiguang Church arrived at Xiahui City in such an ordinary carriage.

"It seems that the lord already knows that we are coming."

The Oath-sworn Archbishop is a 'girl' wearing a red and black ceremonial robe.

The robes on her body were layered, and the obsidian and light blue blended together, making it look complicated and magnificent. Her appearance looked like fourteen or fifteen years old at most. Her long hair was dancing in the wind like black flames, but her eyes were dead.

Ordinary ice blue. Liquor

And if you look closely, you can see that the sworn archbishop has a pair of panther-like animal ears in her hair. She is a Philin.

Traveling with him was a bald man who was so burly that he looked like a Melian. He had his eyes closed, but there was light coming out of them, and the bright golden eyes under his eyelids could be vaguely seen.

Archbishop Tianyan nodded slightly: "I noticed that this city is shrouded in an invisible force that I cannot capture. It is probably some kind of psychic magic lock, or a superior inscription array."

"The Prophet and the Mountain King are waiting for us at Silver Peak."

Turning his head, Archbishop Swearing, although expressionless, said to all the members of the envoy in a soft tone: "You can move freely first. Tian Yan and I will go over and visit - the banquet can be eaten, but there is no need to make such a big show of it."

Silver Peak is the cliff peak where the Lord's Mansion is located. Although it is only one or two hundred meters high, it is still high enough to overlook the whole city. The Lord's Mansion at the top of the cliff is brightly lit, and someone is even hanging a "Warmly Welcome Huaiguang Church"

The envoys' banners were displayed, and a banquet was prepared to welcome them.

Obviously, the Huaiguang side did not notify them in advance, but the prophet did know that they would arrive today.

Everyone responded, and the two archbishops turned into light and disappeared.

The seven people who were allowed to move freely were divided into two groups. They looked at each other with smiles, made a few gestures, and then split up.

"It's hard to imagine that this is the former Le'an City..."

Among the three-person team, the white-haired dragon nun stared at the city in front of her in amazement. Ying Guang was not a fussy person, but rather she was very calm, even when faced with things that could scare people.

Even the remains of the alien god would not change his expression.

But for some things, the more contrast there is, the stronger it becomes.

Sister Yingguang still remembered that when she first came to Laian City to investigate the disappearance of the caravan, it was just a small town with a population of tens of thousands. The city was surrounded by Xiahui grass. The whole city revealed a quiet and harmonious atmosphere, but there was a vague

There is a somewhat gloomy and dead atmosphere.

Ying Guang dared to say that even if Baron Ryan did not secretly rob the population for biological experiments, the atmosphere in Ryan City would not be sunny - after all, this is a city in the mountains surrounded by mountains and forests, and the people's character is also different because of Rai'an.

An Ling deliberately 'high welfare' and appears lazy.

It is the protective layer used by Baron Ryan to disguise himself. Naturally, it cannot have any internal vitality.

but now……

The dragon nun couldn't help but raise her head and look at the huge chimneys erected on the west side of the city.

Unlike the chimneys of the alchemy workshops she had seen in the past, the chimneys here did not emit gray-black or colorful 'Xia Hui'. On the contrary, in this city named after Xia Hui, the color of the chimneys

It is as pale as snow.

The Huaiguang Church has done this before, and they know that this is the practical result of the lord's "reuse of alchemy techniques".

Ian Yinfeng invented this genius technique when he first arrived in the Imperial Capital and passed the alchemy test. Although it is not suitable for high-end alchemy, a slight improvement is the best way to prevent pollution.

The chimneys that seemed to be towering into the clouds were spewing out white mist, faintly integrated with the flowing clouds in the sky. As Yingguang stared at those clouds and mist, a shadow passed across the sky, covering the city and streets.

Those were dragons - the Dragonite nun saw two real dragons flying slowly towards them.

The real dragons landed on a mountain peak in the northwest of Xiahui Territory, and then two rays of light went straight into the lord's mansion. They must be the mountain king of Nanling and his child, the spiritual dragon Xio.

The King of the Mountain was originally responsible for guarding the treasure of Qiang Steel Dragon and waiting for the successor to appear. After Ian Yinfeng became the Dragon God's envoy and fully inherited the legacy of Qiang Steel Dragon, he should return to Dragon Island and wait for the next action.

But maybe it's because of the relationship between Mahdi and Dragon Island, or maybe Ian himself is the target of Dragon Island... In short, the King of the Mountain who was supposed to leave not only didn't leave, but even directly participated in the former Dragon God's faith

, the construction of the "Frost Sky Dome", the new holy land of Chongling Sect.

At this point, even some nobles in the imperial capital kept mumbling, saying, "How can the Silver Peak Territory without the fourth level be worthy of the honor of being the first earl of Nanling?" How could a twenty-year-old young man control so much?

Large areas of territory are of no use anymore.

Because there really are real dragons of the fourth level living on this land.

The appearance of the dragon did not cause disorder among the people on the street. They all just stopped, silently saluted, and then continued laughing and doing whatever they were supposed to do.

"strangeness……"

The Milos man on the side, Shouguang, muttered: "It's not that you won't be afraid of something like Longwei after seeing it too much. It's an instinctive reaction of the spirit and blood. How can these Yinfeng people be so calm?"

"I'm afraid it's because these Yinfeng people are unusual."

The White People's Priest Huijian smiled slightly. He scanned the streets in front of him, the 'fluorescence' in each person's body, and then looked towards the north of the city.

Different from the lively and noisy southeastern city, the western part of Xiahui City is a densely packed alchemy park. It is heavily guarded and the atmosphere is as hard and cold as steel being tempered. There is nothing else except the sound of the workshop.

To the north is the other extreme - a group of towers flashing with endless thunder, like a lightning storm... This is the energy center of Xiahui Territory. From time to time, one or two electric sparks explode in the void between the high-voltage electricity towers.

.

The magnetic storm coils, light prism towers and another brand new, constantly rotating octagonal prism tower all over the city rely on the energy supply here.

The energy pipelines here are buried deep underground. Although they have been hidden, it can be clearly seen that the main structure of this place, that is, the power furnace core is located underground.

[The pipeline leads directly to Xiahui Lake...Have you actually built an energy furnace core using the 'Sky Drop Relic'...]

Pure white spiritual radiance flashed in Huijian's eyes, and he thought thoughtfully: [Ian's ability once again exceeded our expectations. Maybe there was a reason why he took the initiative to choose Xiahui Territory as his territory...

...According to deduction, his choice should be to return to Harrison Port, use some means to get rid of Viscount Grant, and seek to seize that port and the South China Sea Labyrinth]

[But looking at it now, he still has information that we don’t know either]

"Want to go directly to the Lord's Mansion?"

Shouguang noticed the behavior of his companions and said with some surprise: "The archbishop will tell you when he comes back later."

"Yeah. No need to worry."

Huijian responded with a smile, and he motioned to Redemption and Yingguang: "Let's take a look at this city first."

The city is lively and prosperous, and Xiahui City now has the atmosphere of a big city. The renovated commercial street is wide and lively, with bright lights, and vehicles are not allowed to pass - this is a pedestrian street, with merchants' storefronts on both sides of the street, and many more.

Less mobile hot dog and kebab joints.

"It's only been a year since the food crisis, right? Can they eat meat like this?"

Redemption Guang opened her mouth widely, not because of surprise, but because she was hungry. The Milos female paladin touched the corner of her head, swallowed and said: "And they use too many spices. They

Are spices free of charge?”

"It's just chicken and duck meat. Breeding is fast."

Huijian noticed that today’s Xiahuiling meat is still mainly chicken, fish, duck and other rapidly farmed poultry.

As for spices, Canaan Moore, who cooperates with Xiahui Territory, is the origin of spices. The Jindeng family directly controls many spice plains, not to mention that most of the knight estates in the Golden Plains also grow spices. As long as they reach a cooperation agreement

, there is definitely no shortage in this aspect.

"Is the main priority the supply of civilian supplies?" The only thing that made Huijian thoughtful was Ian's attitude. Obviously, this lord did not seem to intend to turn the territory into his own testing ground or sublimation supply point——

If that were the case, he wouldn't build chicken and duck breeding factories and agricultural buildings, but would let everyone go dig in the mountains.

Now, what Ian does is mainly to make ordinary people eat well... Although it is indeed a good thing, what is the purpose?

Even Huijian couldn't figure this out for a while. According to what is currently known about Terra, after the people are fed, they will slack off in their work... or even give up thinking.

Although it sounds a little unpleasant to say, it is the fact that some elves in the remote areas of Canaan Moore still live in wooden houses. Isn't it because life in the coastal jungle is too simple, and there is no need to worry about eating enough?

Instead, they lived in the mountains, plains, and even underground spaces. Those elves who had to work hard to fill their stomachs began to develop and expand very early, and evolved into the prototype of today's Canaan Moor.

Unless Ian finds another way that allows ordinary people to still have 'desires' after eating.

And just as Huijian was thinking about it and Shuguang had already spent money to buy Xiahuiling’s specialty grilled stone shrimp sausage, Yingguang discovered another novelty on the side of the street.

"Vending machine?"

Curious, she came to a huge square glass storage cabinet. There was a special terminal on the left side of the vending machine. There, some locals from Xia Hui used the terminal to buy something.

After some manipulation, the vending machine automatically pushed a product into the vending port, and the buyer took it and left. It was very smooth from beginning to end.

"How can it still be like this..."

Yingguang had learned a lot: "Isn't there actually no thief stealing anything here in Xiahui? Such a big container is placed here, no one is watching, wouldn't it be stolen all at once?"

With such doubts, Yingguang went to a passerby to ask this question.

"That will go to jail! And no one can escape!"

The passerby's answer was very simple: "In the first two weeks, there were idiots stealing things from the vending machines every day, but everyone who stole things would be caught, and it was useless no matter how hard they hid."

"The first time was only three days of criticism and education, the second time was to work in the West Marsh to open up wasteland and reform for a month, the third time... I have never seen such a stupid fool, he dared to do this kind of thing three times
