Crusader Kingdoms Begins with the Black Beast

"? What is Levi building?"

In the far east, in Aachen, 100 kilometers away, Xia Lulu was also very confused. She had basically secured her throne as a girl wearing men's clothes, but today she received some very strange news.

It was the end of summer in 772. The scorching heat of summer scorched the earth, and the air was as syrupy as to be unbearable. Under such circumstances, Xia Lulu, as a noble, had a good life. She put ice cubes from the cellar into the palace. Although it was still hot, it was much better than the life of ordinary people.

However, the lingering smallness of the narrow castle in the late eighth century AD is still unbearable. Let’s put it this way, it is very normal for the building area to be 100 square meters and the usable area to be 50 square meters. Because it is a solid stone structure without any steel or concrete, it is all supported by mechanics and there is no outstanding design in terms of aesthetics, so of course the building area should be higher.

"Yes." Roland nodded and pointed to Archbishop Tobin and said, "Tobin has a say in this."

"It's outrageous." Tobin directly defined the nature of the incident in one sentence. What does it mean to ride on someone's neck and pee and poop? "I have never seen such a disgusting palace. News came from Brittany. It said that a magnificent palace was built somewhere! But there was adultery going on! In the extremely luxurious and extravagant palace, all the women became sex slaves, committing adultery in broad daylight! It was simply..."

"? Built a palace?" Xia Lulu was puzzled. After a moment of silence, she looked at the muscular man in front of her and asked, "I just came back from Brittany a few months ago? How could a palace be built?"

"The power of the devil was used! A palace was built in one day."

"? Hmm? There is such a thing?"

"Yes

423

"Yes," said the merchants who came back from Brittany. "In one day, the Bretons built a huge palace. The gold coins disappeared and the palace was built at a speed visible to the naked eye! It's the devil's style!"

"…That makes sense. After all, Levi is a demon." Emperor Xia Lulu shrugged, indicating that the matter didn't matter: "Anything else?"

"? Carl, don't you want to take care of it..."

"It's his own territory, why should I care about it? Why should I care so much?" The archbishop who rejected him without hesitation, one of his three most capable vassals, said: "Besides, you all know how important he is to me. Has his tribute arrived this year?"

"Uh... we're here..."

"Did he have soldiers during the war?"

"That's not the case..."

"Yes." Xia Lulu said at this time: "Why should I care about the internal affairs of my vassal? The tribute has been paid, the troops have been sent, and the loyalty has been sent. He still believes in my lord - what qualifications do I have to care about him? How about this, Tobin, you go talk to Levi yourself? Of course, I am neutral on this matter, don't expect me to stand on anyone's side. Oh, by the way, Tobin, we have been together for more than ten years. Can you think about me? You have been my old friend for more than ten years, and Levi... He is an important cornerstone of my 50,000 soldiers and annual income of 70,000 gold coins. Please don't make trouble for me, okay!"

Is the country ruled by the cute style?

"..." Tobin looked at the boy in front of him who was holding his shoulders and shaking him, and felt helpless - he is getting cuter and cuter, why are you the same as you were decades ago?

"Okay." Tobin had no choice but to nod and say, "I respect your idea... but you'd better write a letter to Levi. Brittany can't go on like this. You'd better pay attention to the impact when building the palace. Anjou is a new fiefdom. Many nobles and knights there have complained to me through someone. Levi has caused public outrage."

"My vassal's vassal is not my vassal - but I will write to him and ask him to restrain himself. Someone, bring paper and pen." Xia Lulu nodded, picked up paper and pen and was about to write a letter: "I want to ask you something while I'm at it."

"?"

"He...really built a magnificent palace? In one day?"

"Yes, that's what the merchants say."

"…Is there a party going on inside?"

"Yes! That's what everyone who came back said."

"..." Xia Lulu was silent for a moment, then picked up the pen and wrote: You are not allowed to attend the silver party!

221 A true wonder, unlocked posture

June 772, 6, Children's Day.

Livy launched a construction offensive and soon planned a 5 square meter open space 772 kilometers away from the main urban area. Fortunately, it was France in 1772 and not France in , otherwise the land acquisition would have become the fuse of the French Revolution.

Everyone is curious.

"Have you heard?" A Bavarian businessman was talking in a tavern in the commercial district outside the city of Rennes. He was in his forties and wore a thin linen shirt, but with a small golden cross. In the hot weather, there was more heated discussion in the tavern: "Our great lord has a new idea!"

"He's my lord, not yours - he's the master of us Bretons." This felt like a rush to apply for World Heritage status, and a drinker nearby immediately protested.

"It's the same. I'm in Brittany now. Ah, the lord said that a peaceful atmosphere can create wealth..." The Bavarian businessman wiped his mouth and didn't want to delve into this matter any further. After all, it won't be long before his whole family can live in Brittany! Although the business is still in Bavaria, the money earned is still from the Bavarians, and he may still have to flatter the locals in Bavaria, this will not prevent him from running towards a better life: "But you know what? The lord is going to do something earth-shattering again."

"...What what?" A few of the drinkers really seemed to have no idea.

"Ha, you are really uninformed. The adults have been requisitioning land for several days. You just found out about it? A large area has been occupied. It is said to be 100,000 square meters." Don't ask why it is not calculated in miles, because it is too difficult to convert: "With such a large area, I wonder what the adults are going to build?"

"It's a huge city, is there another project going on?" A keen business sense.

"Project funds, workers, and possibly a large number of personnel will be recruited again - there's money to be made again."

"Ah, praise the merciful demon lord, he is more Mammon than Mammon, he is the greatest creator of wealth." You see, this is already too much, and by the way, Mammon is a demon (he was also half a god before Christianity). Although the Middle Ages clearly prohibited demon worship and heresy, but... you know, money is much more friendly than God. Today, tell all Chinese people that you can make a lot of money without believing in God - see the effect.

"Don't laugh too soon, hehe... Our Demon Lord has a lot of wonderful ideas right now." The Bavarian merchant was very unhappy to be interrupted, and immediately revealed a spoiler: "According to my uncle who is inside, the great Demon Lord has not signed any purchase contracts with anyone yet, and has no intention of using corvée labor - instead, he is preparing money, saying that he wants to..."

"I xx you x

424

x! Speak up! "

"Your ancestors are all @@#￥, tell me!"

Seeing that everyone was already tantalizingly interested, the uncle's party said happily, "It is said that a summoning ceremony is going to be performed to summon the great [Paradox Demon Realm] and build this palace through the [Paradox System]. It is said that it will cost..."

————————————————————————

"What? The system wants Gold Liver??!"

Levi came happily with his money, and then found that the system requirements were not what he had imagined.

It was obvious that the other party did not recognize the money he printed. Levi printed a lot of banknotes and forced the use of banknotes for settlement in internal transactions. Then when Levi wanted to repair the palace with banknotes.

The other party refused to accept it.

This is just shameless.

Livre was the most important thing that Xia Lulu did when she first took up her post. 240 gold livres should equal one pound of gold, and 240 silver livres should equal one pound of silver, which is 490 grams.

This exchange system was very rare and lasted for several generations in Xia Lulu's dynasty, until the subsequent rulers announced the devaluation of the currency. Ah, his dynasty was over. Fortunately, Levi is now building wonders - the subsequent maintenance costs are estimated to be astronomical, and he doesn't care.

When his son succeeded to the throne, there would not be so much money coming in, nor so much spice export. There would be a huge army to support, a huge official system to maintain, and even more huge expenses - oh, well, I really look forward to how the angels will maintain their dynasty from extinction, and I really want to see them crying and asking me to cancel the contract.

June 6st was indeed a memorable day. Levi came to the construction site with 1 gold coins. It was obvious that although there were a large number of troops to maintain law and order around, due to the huge area, a large number of people still crossed the border to watch the excitement.

"Kick everyone out. No one is allowed within the boundaries I draw."

"Yes, Master." A large number of troops were deployed to maintain the situation, and Levi performed a ritual here: "But Master, you...really want to..."

"That's right." Levi nodded, pointing to the pile of gold coins that were like a small mountain beside him, and said, "At this moment, I am going to summon the Paradox demon and build a palace in an instant!"

"..." Several maids at the side looked at Levi as if he were a pitiful man, then went to maintain law and order without saying anything.

Obviously, even in a fantasy world, some things are simply not believable.

"Tsk." Olika looked at Levi with an almost indifferent look.

"What? Honey, are you angry again? Oh..."

"I don't want to talk to you right now." Olika waved his hand and hit Levi who was about to hug him. "Let me tell you, there is no magic in the world that can do what you said, to make such a big palace rise from the ground."

"Hmm...why do you say that?"

"You devil, what do you really believe in Christianity?" Rolling his eyes, Olika said: "Even if you believe in that Christianity, you depraved pervert! - You should also know how much money, time and energy King David spent on building the temple. What a horrible expense..."

That's true.

King David sold out his country to build the temple. In the eyes of Christianity (priests), even if he had seventy-two demons under his command, he was still a famous king throughout history. There is no conflict in this.

"You still hope to build a palace with the help of magic? Oh, I'm not saying you..."

"What's wrong?" Levi pointed to his head and said, "How about this, if I fail, I will promise you three wishes. If I succeed, you promise me one wish that you can definitely do, do you think it's okay?"

"?..."

"Are you scared? Oh, if you are scared, don't speak so righteously. Oh, forget it, surrendering means losing half. Olivia, I will consider you not defeated, okay? Look, so many brothers...sisters are watching us. I will save some face for you..."

"Who's afraid of you!" Levi was so successful in fanning the flames, mainly because of Olivia's perfect personality that could be easily ignited and exploded at the slightest touch. The so-called pride and strong self-esteem were just perfect personality traits that were easy to play with: "Let's gamble! If you fail, this king... this king... this king will let you walk around the entire royal city naked."

Qqun: 5436593八9 "Ah!!!" Many maids around suddenly felt that Olika was a cuckold and a good friend!

"...I don't have NTR attributes." Levi glanced at Olika and thought he was weird. "But I'll make good use of it..." "Ahem!" Unfortunately, no one shouted that the auspicious time had arrived. Levi couldn't shout it himself, so he just simply chanted a few small spells.

In fact, there were many people in the crowd, in addition to the businessmen and spies mentioned in the previous chapter. There were also foreign envoys, for example...

[Some countries died in 476 and were buried in 1453] of the defeated court.

"cash!" Levi recited a meaningless line, which was regarded as a spell, but the other local spies, envoys, etc. were all stunned: "adm! Dip! Mil! Yes man! Debug_mode!..."

Levi read a lot

425

He said something that no one present could understand, and then clicked on the [Build] button on the interface in front of him.

"Whoosh!" At a speed visible to the naked eye, the gold coins turned into dots of light one after another. Then a huge foundation was built.

"Ahhhhh!!——"

In the area of ​​100,000 square meters, a huge building complex suddenly appeared - of course, the larger one was the open-air garden structure. All the onlookers around fell into silence, and then there were hundreds of thousands of people exclaiming together! Everyone ran over to watch the excitement.

"Then Levi clicked on quick construction—"

You can sacrifice 720 manpower to increase the construction speed by 200 days, or you can spend gold coins.

After spending two thousand gold coins.

In an instant, the entire construction site was boiling again!

A castle from the middle and late Renaissance (with no defense capability) tens of meters high rose from the ground, with pavilions and towers, and beautiful carved beams and painted buildings. There was a building every five steps, a pavilion every ten steps, with winding corridors and high eaves. The long bridge lay on the slope, the double-story road was empty, the singing stage was cold and warm, and the dancing hall was cold.

Levi even wanted to name this large-scale complex the Apang Palace! ——But considering that this name is too auspicious, he might not be able to suppress it.

just forget it.

"Okay." Amid the shocked eyes of the people around him, Levi gently waved his hand and placed it on the shoulder of the equally stunned dark-skinned elf queen beside him: "If I remember correctly, someone just agreed to a request of mine, right?"

"...Gu, kill him..."

"Please accept this palace." Levi suddenly held the other's hand and said affectionately: "This is a gift from me to you. I hope you can accept it."

"...!!!!"

In the distance, a futa elf father-in-law could even see with his own eyes that his daughter, who had always been strong-willed, had even her ears softened. To be honest, I was a little envious.

Ah, of course, you have the ownership and I have the right to use it. Of course, this does not prevent the automatic unlocking of new postures tonight from being varied and varied.

222 I quit!

When Levi read Xia Lulu's letter, he was so angry that he couldn't stop talking.

Why don't you scold me? Otherwise, how can you show your ability? - What does it matter if I get scolded? I'm not afraid of being scolded. If I have the ability, those vassals of the same level as me will come and confront me head-on. The key is how do you want to be a man? How do you show your majesty as a monarch? Don't you know how to scold people?

Sitting in the newly built maid's palace, Levi waved Xia Lulu's letter in impotence and fury. However, the monarch's rule does not end here, and many things still need to be resolved.

"Alas." The first half of the letter was basically [You are not allowed to open a bank party], and the second half was the main issue: "So what should we do about the current problem... She wants a divorce, what does it have to do with me? It seems like she is going to get married again?"

Yes, Xia Lulu’s ID card still says [Male].

Publicizing her identity doesn't mean she is 100% female. She is still in a state of "disguising as a man". Fortunately, she is handsome enough, so she is still a relatively perfect monarch.

"The Byzantine princess wants to marry you, so if you have the ability, go find another one." Seeing that the funeral procession was not too big, it was not you who wanted to get married, why should I be anxious? The one who should be anxious was the poor Byzantine princess - and historically, this matter did not come to fruition in the end.

"Hmm, Master?"

After a light cough beside Levi, Millicent came over carrying a thick parchment file, which also contained a lot of thin wooden boards.

"Ah?" Levi's head started to feel dizzy after taking a look at the report from the other party. Then he fell into a kind of work delay phobia: "Millicent? I... am a little sleepy, I..."

"It will be done soon. It's the analysis report of some things you requested." The voice was still so gentle and moving, from moving people with knives to moving people with words: "There are still some things that need your personal approval. Especially recently, there have been a lot of voices against maids in various places..."

"Alas..." Levi really wanted to turn into a Weibo judge now, and just start with the death penalty: "What's this? A maid is such a good thing. The harem of the Duke of Shangli and the Duke of Xiali, why can't these ordinary nobles understand it? There are voices of opposition, which means that there are still people who are disobedient. There is a chance to kill a group of opponents..."

"..."

"Uh, Millicent, why are you looking at me more and more strangely?"

"Nothing, just a feeling... I've seen a normal noble again after a long time. I thought you were an ascetic..." Looking at the magnificent palace around her, Millicent replied, "But it doesn't seem like that. Finally, after being blinded by beauty and money, the next step is to lose yourself because of power?"

"!!" This was already very serious: "Millicent, what do you mean by this?"

"Literally."

"I... a dead foreigner."

There is nothing much to say about Levi.

Standing up, the current maid palace is really... far beyond the psychological expectations of these people in the early Middle Ages. So soon, Olika moved out of the Dark King City that she was proud of, and moved into the "maid palace" that Levi gave her, not caring about changing into a "gorgeous" maid outfit.
