Chapter 265 A brief calm

With the consequent of the Order Book, Rhode's Void Corps was officially recognized. Although the Council of Light was tying and claiming that Rhode's "moral qualities" did not meet the conditions for becoming the "Senior of Dragon Soul", no one ignored the nonsense of the Council of Light itself. Just because he was able to act on an equal footing with Lilian, Ion, Nalaya and Shiger, it was enough to prove his identity. After a long time, the successor of the Dragon Soul of the Void, which had been disappearing among the five dragons of Creation, finally reappeared in the world.

For Rhodes, this was not much change. After he and Marin discussed the agreement on the High Tower of the Tour of France, he finally nodded and agreed to the other party to build the outer world gate. However, it could only be outside and not internally. Once discovered, Rhodes would immediately cancel the agreement and destroy the outer world gate. The Tourist France Association naturally agreed to this. At the same time, the entry of various large civil organizations such as the church, Mercenary Association, Alchemist Association and other large civil organizations was also proceeding in an orderly manner. The Void Corps became more and more lively, not just immigration, but also many people in the Duchy of Moon came to the Void Corps for a visit out of curiosity. After all, they dare not go to the Night Country. From the outside, the French Kingdom actually looked no different from the Light Country. On the contrary, the strange "outer space" scene of Rhodes' Void Corps is quite amazing, and it can even be said to be a unique scenery.

In terms of external affairs, the Kingdom of Night had basically no action except throwing the Princess Elin over directly, and the Kingdom of France had no reaction, because they had already sent representatives to the Land of Atonement a long time ago, for the sake of easy observation and communication with Rhodes. Now they have only increased their level and there are no special changes.

The most entangled thing is naturally the Kingdom of Light. The Kingdom of Light, which was overthrown by Rhodes, certainly had no intention of high-level communication with the Void Corps. Of course, they took the Highlands incident as the center and announced again that the Kingdom of Light would never recognize the Kingdom of Light as a country, and strictly prohibited all diplomatic relations. Not only that, it also tried to block and embargo the Kingdom of Light, and at the same time announced that all chambers of commerce affiliated with the Kingdom of Light were not allowed to enter the Kingdom of Light in any name, and strictly prohibited merchant ships of the Kingdom of Light into the port of the Kingdom of Light, and directly prohibited all trade between the Kingdom of Light and the Kingdom of Light. In particular, various arms and food and other important materials were explicitly prohibited by the Council of Light. And they also announced that if any principality was found to dare to violate the ban and communicate with the Kingdom of Light, they would impose severe punishment on the violators.

As soon as the ban was released, the people in the country of Light also cheered loudly. The failures and sufferings suffered in the war with the Kingdom of Night had already made them lose face. In addition, the people in the Kingdom of Light had reached their peak in the previous incident. Therefore, as soon as the ban was released, the people of the Kingdom of Light immediately cheered and cheered loudly. But unfortunately, not everyone supported the ban of the Kingdom of Light, especially the consortium headed by the five major consortiums in the Kingdom of Light, who were very dissatisfied with this. As we all know, the territory of Void was only developed, such a land.

Fang can be said to have endless business opportunities and gold is everywhere. Originally, they planned to take this opportunity to win gold in the Void, but they didn't expect that the Light Council would be completely overwhelmed. Although the five major consortiums were very dissatisfied with this, they had no good solutions. Although the five major consortiums were basically equal to the political mafia behind the Kingdom of Light, they could not specify policies in all aspects. In addition, most famous people in the Light now support this and clamored to give the Void a little color to see, they couldn't say anything else. Of course, this is only temporary.

At first glance, the light council is indeed ruthless. There is basically nothing in Rhode's territory. Although there are strong men like Marlene and Labis, there is not enough infrastructure and magic power equipment. If these cannot be purchased from the outside world, although they can also be made by themselves, the speed will be much slower.

But………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The "sanctions" of the Council of Light are very important. Perhaps they can send fleets to block the waterways, or perhaps they can stop caravans from entering, but they cannot control one thing - that is the transfer of money.

As we all know, all the transactions of currency exchange and financial transfer in the entire Dragon Soul Continent are completed within the church, and the church is the private territory of the Kingdom of Law, which means that the Kingdom of Law is the role that truly controls the financial lifeline of the Dragon Soul Continent. Rhodes once secretly complained that although the Kingdom of Law looks inconspicuous, it has long been unified in the mainland...

Perhaps the Council of Light can do a lot of things and can't do very little things, but even if it can't do only one thing, as long as that thing is important enough, it will be enough for Rhodes. And now, it's exactly the case.

At first glance, the sanctions of the Council of Light are quite scary, but their essence is to completely block the financial circulation of the Void Territory. However, now, the channel of financial circulation is not in the hands of the Council of Light. It is impossible to prevent others from transferring their money to the Council of Light, nor can it stop the money of the Council of Light from being transferred out. It can even be said that even if Rhodes are swaggeringly saving tens of thousands of platinum coins in Casablanca, the Council of Light will not want to deduct the money unless they rush into the church to completely seize the church's vault - but in that case, they will completely tear their faces with the Kingdom of Law.

If we can really do this, even if we waste tens of thousands of platinum coins, Rhodes will accept it.

So although it seems that the blockade of the Council of Light is very good and powerful, it is actually just that. As long as you understand the tricks, you will understand that the Council of Light is like a tied dog. Don’t look at its barking, it will become weak if it bites people. So not everyone takes this ban seriously.

The first one to bear the brunt is Moon. With the relationship between Lydia and Rhodes, coupled with the geographical location of Moon and the Void Territory, unless the Kingdom of Light wants to attack Moon, no matter how powerful their fleet is, it is just a decoration. Not to mention that the broken ships of the Kingdom of Light are not considered any obstacles in front of Moon's powerful air magic fleet. So Moon completely ignored the warning of the Council of Light, and soon signed a comprehensive trade contract with the Lord of Void. Not only those ordinary commodities, but even the small floating magic warship Lydia actually agreed to sell it. This caused a storm within the Duke of Moon, but Lydia was the largest within the Duke of Moon. In addition, Rhodes also reciprocated and gave considerable returns, and the opposition was finally left unresolved.

Compared with Moon, the goods that the Void Corps can use for trade are very limited. Most of the things Rhodes can provide are raw materials, which is also the easiest thing to collect and develop in the Void Corps at present. However, this is far from enough. Rhodes does not want his territory to become a breeding farm for others in the future. However... there is also a gap between wishes and reality.

After the Holy Book came, Rod, Marin, Labis, Lan, Lian, and Xin, who returned to the Void Territory, had a long discussion for a long time. The focus was on how to climb the current Void Territory's technology tree. As the "demon of knowledge", Marin possessed very powerful ancient magic knowledge, but the problem was that if she wanted to rebuild advanced magic technology like the first Void Territory in the Void Territory, it was basically equivalent to starting over. Because the equipment skills required by magic technology at that time were not the same as now. It can be said that the magic power furnaces on the Dragon Soul Continent are restored through previous wreckage after further research.

, its power is less than one-fifth of the prototype. It is not enough to support Marine's ancient magic technology. The only advantage is that although modern magic technology is not as powerful as before, its unique self-circulation system is mature. If this magic technology is used, the time required to develop the territory will be greatly reduced. However, the disadvantage is that once it is formed, Marine's ancient magic knowledge is basically not very useful. Because the core of the power energy required is different, the materials required to make ancient magic power devices are quite high in terms of strength and other aspects. With the current magic technology level, such materials cannot be made.

On the other hand, if you need to use ancient magic technology, it means that everything has to start over. And it is not just a simple change to a power device. This marks that all industries in the territory will be upgraded again, including a furnace for smelting ore, a magic machine for processing steel, etc., and so on. Although this can completely reproduce the prosperity of the original Void Territory and also create super magic devices that modern times cannot compete with, it will take a long time and not be completed in a short time. If you are lucky, you will be lucky or not, but if you are unlucky, you may not be able to handle it in three to five years. Not to mention that this is just the most basic part, and the time required for upgrading may be longer.

Of course, it would be great if these two methods could be integrated together. But the problem is that the characteristics of the two are too different. You cannot use the steam era in the nuclear power era because it is too backward. Similarly, you cannot build a nuclear reactor in the steam era because the technical level is simply not enough...

If it is just a war within the Dragon Soul Continent, then the current technology is not enough, but on the other hand, if Rhodes are facing enemies like Chaos, it would be a completely different matter. According to the scenes Rhodes saw in history, even the powerful magic technology in ancient times could not withstand the Chaos for too long. If it were the current level... it would probably take a minute to fall.

However, if it is necessary to reproduce the technology at that time, it will take a long time. In the Kingdom of Night... are you really willing to wait for so long? Although Ion sent Irene over here, it seems to be showing kindness, but who knows what the Dark Dragon is thinking. Maybe for him, this is just a delaying strategy? To take a step back, even if he really wants to win over Rhode, then in response, Rhode must "show" Erene - it's really a ghost that Rhodes would be willing to do this. Although the desserts in front of him are very attractive, considering that the harem is about to collapse, it is difficult to get down to the taste of the desserts.

Everyone discussed for three days, but in the end they still did not come to any conclusion. Since they could not reach the conclusion, Rhodes decisively put it aside and then started the next issue.

The deepest maze.

"Captain, are you really going?"

Xiao Xiao Bubble Gum frowned and stared at Rhodes with some concern. After the previous mission of the Order Book, as a mission reward, Xiao Xiao Bubble Gum and Canary can also leave the territory, but as Phantom Guards, they still have their own limitations, that is, they can only move within a radius of 500 meters centered on Rhodes. However, this is enough for the two of them.

"There are so many things in the territory now. Rhodes, do you really think it's okay to do this?"

Even Canary had a look of doubt and uneasiness at this moment. Although they had strong combat power, the only thing they had strong combat power. There was no way for Xiao Xiao Bubble Gum or Canary to deal with the issues of territorial development. It was okay to make an idea occasionally, but it was too difficult for them to make them decide the future of a territory. Although the two were calling for the wind and rain in the game, there was a gap between the game and reality. In reality, Canary had just been in college, and Xiao Xiao Bubble Gum didn't even graduate from the second grade to manage a territory and a country? It was too difficult for them. So in this regard, even if Rhodes were busy, the two of them couldn't help much. However, despite this, seeing the scene in front of them still made them a little worried.

The reason is very simple. After the meeting was not successful, Rhodes decisively gave up continuing to discuss the future development of the territory, but began to prepare for the deepest maze battle.

"I have decided that I have to go this time. I don't know why, but I always feel that under the deepest maze, there should be something I need to look for. Although I don't know what that is, I think it might be related to why I came here... so I have to go."

Speaking of this, Rhode frowned. In the previous Book of Order, he clearly saw that the beacon about the deepest maze was activated on his system prompts. For some reason, he always felt that there should be some secret hidden there. A secret related to him was a kind of intuition beyond instinct. It seemed that he "knows" that there was indeed "what" there, but he forgot what it was.

"Indeed......... It is a good way to go to the deepest maze to brush the level. Team leader, you are strong enough now, but you can't go up... Well...... But, it's probably not enough for us to rely on the two of us. You should be as clear as we are in the field. With the strength of my elder sister and I, you can't brush up to 40 levels at most. Even if you add the team leader, you will definitely not be able to brush it."

If it were the past, Xiao Xiao Bubble Gum would definitely raise his hands to agree and brush the equipment. However, now, with the new set obtained from Marlene, Xiao Xiao Bubble Gum is no longer interested in brushing those low-level equipment. Of course, the most important reason is that it is black...

“No need to worry about this.”

Speaking of this, Rhode looked up and looked at the two of them.

"I have confirmed to Alice that the deepest maze is indeed built for the creation of the Five Dragons, and I have the power of the void dragon soul in my body. Those guards who guard the maze will not attack us. At that time, most of the things we need to deal with are probably just some monsters hidden or living in the maze. If I encounter enemies that are stronger than us, I can also awaken those guards to fight for us."

"Hehe, if that's the case, that would be interesting."

Hearing Rhode's answer, Xiao Xiao Bubble Gum immediately chuckled with an expectant expression, as if he was thinking about something. Seeing her expression, Canary sighed helplessly and looked at Rhode. Both of them saw a bit of bitter smile from each other's eyes. No wonder, as players, they were actually like Xiao Xiao Bubble Gum at this time, and they felt a little proud when they received this news. Think about it, those who had killed themselves in the past have now turned into flesh shields that were willing to sacrifice their lives and shed their blood. This feeling must be so subtle that it is unspeakable.

"But is there really no problem? Rhodes?"

"Not yet. Although climbing the technology tree is indeed very important for us now, it has little impact on ordinary people's livelihood. The most important thing during this period is to first place those immigrants and ensure that they can live a stable and stable life... I can't do this anyway, so let Marlin and the others do it. For me now, it's the first priority to quickly improve our strength. As for the specific development of the territory in the future - let me talk about it when I come back."

Since Marlene has transformed into one of the Rhode card elves, Rhode and her can also communicate through the soul, and even if something happens to the territory, Marlene can repay it as soon as possible. Moreover, the wise demon gods sit in the formation with the historical demon gods. If the group of slags in the Kingdom of Light dare to come again, it is probably not as simple as not being able to go back.

"Where is the country of light? I heard from Marlin that the election of the country of light should have come to an end recently. Under such circumstances, will the new president of the Council of Light take any action against the leader of the Void?"

Hearing Canary’s uneasy questions, Rhode was abnormal, his mouth slightly raised, and an interesting smile appeared.

"Haha...If they really can get idle, let's talk about it."

Then, Rhode gave the answer gently and unswervingly. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe to Qidian Mobile Network.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.) [This article is provided by Qihang Update Group and the Parallel Beast Mentors]
