Chapter five hundred and forty-eight the beginning of turmoil(1/2)

While Li Wei was sleeping peacefully in the depths of the Baicheng Treasury, time was passing by like running water.

The situation on the continent of Corell has also changed accordingly, and various epic legends that may be exciting or boring are being staged.

In 1340 of the Valley Calendar, with the intervention of Cormyr's army, the four-year dispute between Sambia and the Dragon Cult finally ended.

One of the elf rangers named Yi Lewen and the shield dwarf warrior named Leviathan shined in this war. Among them, the ranger who shot and killed at least a hundred middle- and high-level evil cultists of the Dragon Worship Sect was suspected of being on the battlefield.

Break through the boundaries of legend and awaken the enemy’s nemesis expertise.

What no one knew was that not only him, but also the shield dwarf who kept making noise on the battlefield was promoted the following year and awakened the legendary fortitude without too many accidents.

In the year 1345 of the Valley Calendar, Esco, under the banner held high by Isabella and led by the legendary warrior Sgard, completely wiped out the Bedai barbarians and orcs entrenched along the entire Essi Road.

In the same year, the green dragon Druid Egg sat under the 1.09 million ginkgo trees he planted in the Northeast protective forest for three days and four nights, becoming a legend. It is not known whether this area has already covered one-third of the area.

The vast green forest of the Ainook Desert moved the Earth Mother Goddess Shantia. Egg actually awakened the Emerald Dream, an extremely rare Druid specialty.

In the year 1347 of the Valley Calendar, on the night when the Centaur King signed an alliance treaty with the orcs less than ten years after Vasa came to power, he was mysteriously assassinated under the guard of thousands of troops. The blood sprayed turned half the tent red.

It was night, the black dragon Li Weiwu looked at the starry sky on the large glacier, silently jumped into the ranks of the legendary rogue assassins, and awakened the skill of Shadow Master.

In 1348 of the Valley Calendar, the eleventh year after the death of Allemand IV, the intensity of the civil war in Tethyr reached its peak. The elven tribes in the northern Wildas Forest sent their troops southward, ending Tethyr's long-lasting war in one fell swoop.

In this protracted civil war, they regained their homeland and rebuilt the Elf Kingdom.

Among them was a strategist named Lucifer who was respected by the elves.

That year was also a legend of the moon elf's counterattack.

Even because of this great victory after thousands of years, he received the attention and reward from the elven god Corellon.

At this point, many beings still don't know that this moon elf who devoted himself to the founding of the elven nation is a three-faced spy who superficially believes in Corellon, but is secretly a follower of Lolth but actually loyal to Li Wei.

In the year 1352 of the Valley Calendar, the white dragon bard Li Weiyun successfully escaped from prison and spread all the way to the north of Corell.

On the eve of several separate bodies coming to capture him, this white dragon used a nursery rhyme with a strange tone to sing to the death of Zhentil Fort's 40,000-strong army that went out to attack the Thrall barbarians. Each one died in more bizarre ways than the last.

The reputation of Crazy Wings immediately spread across the continent of Corell.

At this point, the third to last clone No. 9 to be promoted to legend has awakened a strange specialty called Silent Void of Absolute Contradiction.

If Li Wei hadn't been in a deep sleep, he probably wouldn't have been able to help but check it out.

In the year 1356 of the Valley Calendar, Levi, the Furious Red Dragon of the Abyss, who was in the bottomless abyss, finally achieved victory in the Death Arena after defeating the challenge from a legendary tyrant from another dimension with an absolutely crushing attitude.

The championship is a legendary achievement that has never been achieved before.

That day, all the demons watched as the red dragon tyrant crushed the challenger into dregs, pulled down the withered bones of the giant from the throne of the Death Arena, smashed them into broken dust on the ground, and then sat down on his own

Go up and bathe in the surrender of thousands of demons.

However, what may surprise Levi is that the legendary specialty that Levi was promoted to was not the legendary battle rage but the legendary battle rage.

Endless anger. No one can drag me into the abyss of death before my anger is vented.

At the end of the year 1357 in the valley calendar, the fallen god Moando was once again awakened by the cultists. Corel Model Heim could only go to expel him again. However, this time there was no other Levi to intervene in advance, and the situation was even worse than on Moon Shadow Island.

It is more serious, but it has not had any impact on the distant northern land.

At the beginning of the year 1358 in the Valley Calendar, the Silver Dragon mage Levis, who was the substitute left to handle government affairs after he fell asleep, was immersed in a pile of documents and documents. He suddenly raised his head and showed a rare bookish smile.

Ige behind him looked back and congratulated as if he had realized something.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty that the last legend has finally been completed."

The other practitioners who heard this were also shocked, and then fell into the sea of ​​dragon farts in ecstasy.

Levis felt the expertise called Ultimate Super Demon, but he smiled modestly and said

"I haven't even had time to be promoted myself, and it's a pity that I still lack the legendary expertise of the Warlock profession after all."

This old Declaration of Versailles choked all the legal practitioners present. Even those who were used to being dog-lickers could not withstand such a critical blow.

I think it's crazy, this group of people may not even be able to peek into the legendary door in this life. My boss has been crushing back and forth on this threshold ten times in a row, and the threshold is almost gone.

What the hell are you talking about?

On the contrary, Igxu had long been accustomed to his boss’s temperament and said very calmly.

"Our Demonic Research Institute is already on the agenda for research on prosthetic modification and bloodline editing. Maybe in our lifetime, we will be able to realize the cyber dragon that is between machinery and biology as you mentioned, and maybe we will become a warlock."

"I hope so."

Levis sighed, and then asked

“How is the situation now?”

"Everything is as usual, your Majesty, please rest assured." Ige responded.

"That's good, at least the citizens can have a peaceful winter feast again."

Yes, it’s time for the annual Feast of the East again.

Just like twenty years ago, Minas Tirith still looks like the streets and alleys in my memory are full of magic lights, the trees are hung with gifts and candies, and the sky is full of brilliant fireworks.

But many things are different after all.

At least there are fewer smiles on people's faces.

The will of a country or even a city-state can be personally felt by the people living in it.

Since nineteen years ago, Zeelandia has relaxed its conscription requirements.

If this were normal, people would definitely fall into a carnival.

Because unlike other city-states, the benefits of joining the army in Zeelandia cover everything from birth to burial.

Well, it's not that you can sign up to join the army from birth, but as long as you join the army in Zeelandia, if you unfortunately die in battle, your descendants will be able to enjoy a completely arranged life and education until they reach adulthood.

In addition, the pensions are quite generous, so many people do not mind, and may even rush to sell themselves to the government.

In just these twenty years, the army of the city of Minas Tirith alone had tripled, reaching an astonishing 150,000.

You must know that Cormyr, far south of the Aino Oak Desert, has less than half a million troops stationed there.

But that was a huge kingdom with a vast territory and a population of over ten million, while Minas Tirith was just a free city-state in the North.

If it were placed in Jishui City, the most prosperous city in the North seventy-six years ago, it would be equivalent to one soldier among four people, and the other three people would have to bear his expenses.

And even today, for Zeelandia, which has a population of close to two million, this number is still a heavy burden.

I am afraid that in the entire Northland, only the prosperous economy of Minas Tirith can support the huge consumption and logistics of such an army.

Even so, people living in the North can clearly feel it.

Since nineteen years ago, the cities in the Northland have successively announced reductions or even closed their trade ports except for Yueying Island. The economy of the entire Northland, which was originally booming, has begun to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye.

With the small population in the north, it is simply impossible to absorb the huge industrial production capacity on its own.

If Zelandia had not opened the small-scale trade leading to Baator Hell and other safe planes in time, the situation of unsalable goods in this market would only be more serious.

The shrinking market will inevitably lead to overcapacity. Even if the authorities repeatedly subsidize and macro-control domestic factories, workers and citizens can clearly feel that the money in their pockets is getting less and less.

The business of various restaurants and even the service industry is even more depressed.

For example, in the Ax and Helmet Tavern at this moment, the Hammer's wife looked at the few tables of guests in her tavern with a sad face, and sighed.

"How long do you think this situation is going to last? If it continues like this, our pub may not even be able to maintain its balance of payments."

She didn't say the word bankruptcy because she thought it was taboo.

Iron Hammer looked at it with openness, "Isn't there a municipal subsidy? At least in this year, being able to guard a restaurant with peace of mind, without starving or freezing, is no longer a luxury for many people. Do you know that I

I heard that another large leather factory in the Silver Moon Federation closed down this year, and most of the people building nests out of cardboard boxes on the street are laid-off workers who came here to beg for a living."

Iron Hammer's wife immediately fell silent.

I'm usually afraid of comparisons, but it's rare for my own Iron Hammer to analyze it with me like this. It seems that my days are over.

What makes them even more faintly proud is that at least their son still has a stable job in the golem workshop in Zeelandia.

The only thing that worries them is that at this juncture, all military-related industries are too busy.

No, my son just came back to have a winter feast and rushed back all night, saying that there were urgent debugging tasks that could not be completed.

As busy as my son are the old friends of Hammer.

In the past few years, although it was not as rare as twenty years ago to get together together, at least a few people would get together every now and then.

This year, only Herbert and Hammer had a warm meal together when he was on his inspection tour. He didn't even drink, saying he was worried that drinking would cause trouble.

Iron Hammer's daughter-in-law sighed, went back to the kitchen, and then ran out with a big bucket.

"Where are you going in this freezing cold weather?" Tie Zhui was immediately startled and stood up to stop her.

Iron Hammer's wife shook the big bucket filled with clean food in her hand at him.

"Well, if you prepare too much food, it would be a waste to keep it. I'll take it and share it with the refugees."

Iron Hammer saw that he, the iron hen wife who used to wish she could break an egg into two, had a rare kindness, so she also smiled and raised her hand, and gave a serious instruction.

"Go on, go on. Slow down on the road, it's slippery."

However, Iron Hammer's wife came back much faster than he expected. He saw her carrying an empty bucket and asked with a serious look on her face.
