"No, it depends on your performance tomorrow."
Noita vetoed with a smile.
The next day, at dawn, Noita woke up the sleeping Adele and reminded her that it was almost time to go to work.
The sad thing is that as the host of the Devout Union, Adele actually didn't get any vacation time.
Adele woke up with a start and sat up straight. She looked at the floor clock in the corner and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"There are still two hours left, which is more than enough time. You're scaring me again."
Noita smiled charmingly and said, "Is that really enough, my little muse?"
At this time, Noita was standing by the bed in a gauze nightgown. The morning light shone through the gauze, illuminating her perfect figure. She was as graceful as a legendary god, enough to make anyone in love surrender to her feet.
This beauty is enough to shock people.
Adele shuddered, her calves rubbing subconsciously against each other under the covers.
She said, playing hard to get, "Early morning doesn't seem like a good time to do this."
Hearing this and looking at Adele's reserved look, Noita said with a smile: "If you don't like it, then forget it."
Hey, she didn’t say she didn’t like it!
Adele was speechless, she had something to say but was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
Noita transformed into a dove, landed on Adele's shoulder, and whispered softly, "Since you're pretending to be reserved, I won't make things difficult for you. But it wouldn't be nice to wake you up too early, so I've prepared a gift for you."
Adele regretted it, but had to put on a smile.
"what gift?"
"New territory." Noita's fingertips traced the air lightly. "I asked someone to buy some land in the city. Soon, the Qianxin community and the six neighboring communities will be my territory. Now, they are all under your jurisdiction."
“Six communities?”
Adele's mind raced as she estimated the size and population of these lands: approximately eight square kilometers, with nearly two hundred thousand people living within.
If such a large place and staff were all handed over to the federation for management, all the members would be exhausted.
Adele asked cautiously, "Let me confirm first, are all these places really yours?"
"The people from the Adventurer's Association are still helping me negotiate. At most, the ownership of these places will be mine in one month."
"Excuse me, who are the association members negotiating with?"
Adele was a little confused. Neither her sponsor nor her informant said that anyone would buy the nearby community, and there were no similar rumors in the community. Could it be that her information was out of date?
"Talk to City Hall, of course."
"No, no, the association staff are trying to scam you," Adele said. "The residents in the community don't know about this yet. They might be colluding to defraud you of your money."
“Should the residents be informed of the purchase of land in Serkar?”
"Eh?"
Adele's brain froze, and she couldn't understand what was said.
A bad idea is emerging in my mind.
Noita cruelly shattered her hopes for Serkar: "In theory, the residents of the Outer City are merely displaced people, or refugees, temporarily residing on Serkar's land. The City Hall is the true controller of these lands. As long as a transaction is completed with the City Hall, the ownership and use rights of the Outer City land can be transferred regardless of the residents' wishes."
This is a historical problem left over from the early days of Serkar's establishment. The city hall has tried to fix it, issuing temporary residence agreements and other plans to solve the problem, but they were all cancelled due to bigger problems.
Over time, this issue has become the elephant in the room. Many people know the problem but turn a blind eye to it.
It was based on this clause that the major chambers of commerce bought a lot of land in the outer city. They not only collected rent, but also semi-forced people living there to work in their factories by offering conditions such as rent reductions.
With a little guidance, Adele understood this.
She let out a long, weak breath.
“Will Nono become the master of this land?”
"Yes." Noita smiled. "The price I offered is much higher than the price they quoted. Plus, the association and Serkar are in their honeymoon period, so this is a done deal."
“What are you going to do with this land?”
"Of course it's for you."
Luhua had a piece of land in the Silver Peak Lair, and when this land was handed over to Noita, she found that the intelligent creatures living on this land would also provide her with experience every day like followers.
So Noita immediately thought of Serkar, a densely populated city, which has a much higher population density than Yinfeng.
Earning 200,000 experience points a day is much faster than hunting extraordinary people, but it is not as exciting as hunting extraordinary people, and the experience points provided by the land population will cover the experience points provided by followers, so you can't kill two birds with one stone.
But it doesn't matter. The stronger she is, the more territory she can own, and the larger the territory, the more experience she will get.
For the enemy, this is an unsolvable virtuous cycle.
And it is extremely difficult to be discovered. After all, she can save the experience and then reach the maximum level in an instant.
A lot of thoughts went through my mind, but I couldn't tell this secret.
Noita whispered softly, "Only by claiming these lands can we protect ourselves from being attacked in this way. It will also give you a more legitimate reason to clean up the troublesome things that are happening nearby. This will make both the community and you safer."
It turns out they were all thinking about me.
Adele couldn't help but smile brightly, jumped out of bed, changed her clothes, and got ready for work.
This method is correct. The community does not have to use this method, but it should not make things difficult for the community.
Even though Noita has achieved extraordinary success, she still thinks about the future with great care and cannot relax.
The federation's expansion plan needs to be put on the agenda.
P.S. I need to take a break. Mutou and Chuhua shocked me so much tonight. The next chapter will be later.
Chapter 266: The Envoy of the Crown
Adele went to work at the station in high spirits. Her colleagues along the way felt that she was more energetic today, as if something good had happened.
Milin met Adele by chance, and when he saw the girl's appearance, he knew that the true master of the Pious Union had returned.
He didn't bother Adele to ask about Noita's affairs, as this would easily give people the bad impression of presumptuous speculation about the gods' will. So he pretended nothing had happened and diligently assisted Adele as usual. He didn't think that a god who could enhance others' strength out of thin air would ignore his work.
Noita certainly hadn't forgotten him.
It was noon when Milin, who had just returned to the dormitory, suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the dormitory. A heavy atmosphere filled the room, as if a weight of iron and lead was pressing on his heart.
Suddenly, the power of the Tao surged in, making him leap to become a top-level professional at the first level, only one step away from the second level.
A dark shadow fell on the window, and Milin once again felt the overwhelming power of the past. Without saying a word, he leaned towards the window and knelt on one knee to welcome the arrival of the divine crow.
The black jade crow sparkles in the sunlight, its sharp claws reflecting the sunlight, sending chills down one's spine.
It stared at Milin silently for a while, then without saying a word, flapped its wings and flew away.
Milin stood up again long after he left, letting out a heavy breath. He needed no encouragement, no threats. This moment of improvement was the most beautiful sound of nature, enough to solidify his loyalty.
The recurring miracle once again proves the nobility of the person behind the scenes. Even if he is not a god, he is close to God.
The wizard stood by the window, gazing into the distance, imagining the divine crow's flight.
This big tree can indeed shelter me from the wind and rain. Although it is harder than being an adventurer, it has the advantage of providing stable income and a lot of emotional value.
The bird controlled by Noita circled in the sky, blending into the flock of birds, overlooking the scenery of Serkar.
If you look at it from a distance, the layout of this city is very reasonable, even picturesque, and pleasing to the eye from afar. However, when you look deeper, you will find that the beauty belongs to the inner city area, and most areas of the outer city lack order and cannot be effectively managed.
The security, hygiene and housing prices in the area adjacent to the main road are not inferior to those in the inner city. Since most envoys from friendly countries enter from here, we cannot show them any unsightly scenes to avoid surprising friendly countries.
A magical firework exploded in the sky.
The sound of music and the light pierced Noita, and the flock of birds flying with it fled in all directions and did not stay here.
Noita took a closer look and saw that the once bustling Golden Oriole Avenue had been swept clean long ago, the road spotless and empty of carriages. Caravans and noble carriages were forced to take the side roads and were not allowed to travel this route.
The city gate had already been opened, and the honor guard was waiting nearby. The well-dressed official was smiling and talking with the people around him, waiting for the arrival of the delegation.
Today a delegation of friendly nations will visit Serkar, and the leader is so distinguished that a large road will be cleared to welcome him.
Noita narrowed her eyes, remembering the identity of the visitor.
The third son of the Grand Duke of the Southern Territory, Renahu.
……
At the spire of the embassy in the inner city, Micah looked out at Oriole Avenue stretching to the end of the horizon and suddenly laughed out loud.
"Feixin, I thought of something happy. Can you guess what it is?"
The young woman with blue hair and emerald eyes was a little caught off guard. Recalling Micah's recent events, she carefully asked, "Was your thirty-seventh blind date a success?"
"You, please don't say such sad things." Micah said helplessly, "The answer is revealed. It's the joke I just thought of. The Grand Duke of the Southern Territory and Hell have reached a close cooperation. Isn't this a joke of Hell?"
“I don’t get the joke.”
Fei Xin remained indifferent, which disappointed Micah greatly.
"People who don't understand puns are in trouble."
Mika reminded him, "But be careful recently. If possible, suspend the investigation of the cult."
"Why?" Fei Xin looked up sharply. Micah never spoke nonsense.
"Of course, it's because the Rongguan people have arrived. Renahu came here this time to sign a more in-depth trade contract with Serkar, and also for the matter of the Divine Dream. He brought his own private soldiers, all of whom are the best players in the Rongguan team. After going through the formalities of the association, they were divided into small groups and entered the country as mercenaries. Moreover, Renahu named himself after the legendary cunning fox, which also reflects his character - cunning, insidious, and lawless."
"If you encounter him during your pursuit, you won't be able to escape easily. Haha, of course, if you encounter danger in this city, come to me and I will help you. He is from the Kingdom of Glory Crown, and I am from Sky City. We are not afraid of each other."
"I'll be careful."
Fei Xin answered calmly. She had been tracking down the remnants of the Bloodlust Cult for more than two months and had gained a lot. At least she would not be as reckless as before.
Now I am even thinking about changing my career.
The Path of Winter and Shadow of the Quiet Forest were indeed not compatible with her.
Seeing that she was well-mannered, Micah said no more and hummed a ballad from the atmospheric circulation.
Fei Xin gazed at the mountains and clouds beyond her sight, her heart as calm as water.
It’s just that the face of a certain lady often appears before my eyes, causing ripples in my heart.
After half a year of extraordinary experience, can I catch up with her?
……
Noita waited for the envoys from the Kingdom of Glory to enter the city.
When the delegation entered the city, their orderly footsteps startled the onlookers, and the solemn and murderous atmosphere gave the crowd of onlookers an unprecedented shock. The officials who received them had already turned extremely ugly, and it was obvious that they knew in advance about the drama this group of people had put on.
The liveliness of the crowd gradually died down, and like dominoes, depression and silence began to spread, extending to an invisible end.
The orchestra played music belatedly, magic cannons flew into the sky and the lively atmosphere suppressed the initial silence.
Noita sneered in her heart.
This is not an embassy at all; it is clearly an army armed to the teeth.
The Grand Duke of the Southern Territory sent a small force here disguised as diplomatic personnel, but who knows how many people are secretly making moves behind the scenes.
Noita looked past these troops, searching for any trace of Lenahu.
There were only a dozen or so carriages that were covered tightly. Except for the members of the delegation walking outside, the leaders were inside the carriages and did not show their faces.
After searching for a while without any results, Noita was too lazy to continue looking. He flapped his wings gently and flew forward slowly with the delegation until they entered the embassy area allocated by Serkar for envoys from all over the world.
Important places in the inner city are heavily guarded, and even birds cannot enter easily.
Only birds marked as harmless are allowed here.
When Noita was about to fly away, suddenly a silk thread of light floated from the distant spire and stopped in front of Noita, as if inviting her in.
That's where the Sky City Mission is located.
Noita hesitated for a moment and stood on the silk.
The silk was immediately pulled back and wrapped around Noita to the top of the tower. The patrol angel with wings of light on his back looked at her with interest, as if he had picked up some cute little animal.
"Are you that Roshivia?"
Noita was stunned.
Yes, is it?
