After guarding the fortress alone for three years, I became the long night Lord Chapter 500
With one sentence, everyone in the hall knew that the meeting was coming to an end.
Shen Congzhi stood up first, bowed to Lincon, and then led Rune Workshop's people out of the side door in an orderly manner. Gongshu Qi, Li Yunfan and others also stood up one after another and left solemnly.
Their steps were much heavier than when they came, but their waists were as straight as pine trees, as if the pressure on their heads was just a short-lived wind and snow and was nothing to worry about.
They firmly believe that as long as Longwind City is united and united, there will be no obstacle that cannot be overcome.
It didn't take long for the Origin Hall to have only a few first-level department leaders such as Zhang Rui, Zhou Qing and Guan Teng.
Guan Teng hesitated for a while and then spoke first.
"Sir, will Abyss Sea really come?"
"Even if those Abyssal Lord want to invade Longwind City, from Capital Province to Jiangzhou, they must first pass through Hai Province, Cangzhou and Yan Province. With these areas blocking the front, we should have sufficient preparation time."
"Now Garrison Guard has a large number of people. Once it enters a state of combat readiness, it will need to start investing a lot of resources."
"However, now is the Harsh Winter period. Once most of the city's resources are allocated to Garrison Guard, Longwind City's subsequent development may be affected."
"And the most important thing is."
"That means Longwind City has entered a state of combat readiness, which will inevitably panic people in the city and cause turmoil."
In fact, this is also the thought of most people present.
Entering a state of combat readiness is no small matter.
You must know that the last time Longwind City entered a state of combat readiness was when Jiangzhou Abyss Rift's monsters came out in full force and swept Jiangzhou.
The former Black Iron City and Flint City were lost in this incident, and only Longwind Fortress survived.
Therefore, most people think that Longwind City should not be put into combat readiness so early, but should at least wait until Harsh Winter is over.
However, Lincon's attitude was very tough. He waved his hand with an unquestionable Resolve in his tone.
"I have thought about these questions, starting with the first question."
"If we only consider Longwind City, we really don't have to worry too early about the threat from the Abyss Sea."
"But under Dark Age, the number of humans is already quite scarce. The total population of Divine Land may be less than 10 million. We need to preserve the human fire as much as possible within our capabilities, so as not to let it wither until Jiangzhou is the only place left."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone present looking at Lincon gradually became complicated, until finally they showed deep respect.
Why are great men great?
In addition to being able to endure what others cannot tolerate, what is more important is that what they hold in their hearts is never just their own little piece of land.
The Chinese nation is a very magical nation. From ancient times to the present, they have experienced countless changes in dynasties. At one time, their mountains and rivers were broken, their dragon veins were damaged, and their dynasties were overturned.
But every time this happens, someone will always stand up.
They stepped on the bones everywhere, dragged their scarred bodies, picked up the extinguished fire again, ignited it with their own blood, and passed it to the hands of the next generation.
A great man does not refer to a single person, but a group of people who can be remembered by history and worthy of praise by future generations.
Lincon thinks that he is not as high as a great man, but he is more accustomed to thinking from the overall situation.
Once Abyss Sea slowly engulfs the areas along the way, finally hit the door of Jiang Province.
How many people will be left in this land Divine Land at that time?
He doesn't believe that those guys like Abyss will leave trouble behind them, and there will be no grass growing wherever they go.
Therefore, when you have the energy to spare, it is better to make plans in advance and take the initiative in your own hands.
Moreover, the advancement of Seed of Life also requires prestige. The prestige requirements increase as you get to the later stages. Now, if you want to upgrade to level five, you need to have a prestige of three million.
And accumulating reputation is inseparable from a huge population. If all the surrounding cities with human abilities are swallowed up by the Abyss Sea, even if the remaining people are all included under Longwind Territory, they will not be able to support Seed of Life's subsequent advancement.
At that time, let alone counterattack Abyss, even defending Jiang Province will become extremely difficult.
Lincon continued, "Then the second question."
"You don't have to worry about resources at all. Next, I have a way to increase the resource production of Longwind City. The subsequent Trial Temple can be shortened from once a month to once a week, but those who are arranged to enter Temple still need to take the exam. Only elites are eligible to participate in the trial. This rule cannot be changed at will."
"As for the issue of public support, I will let Zhang Rui and others deal with it. You just need to do the tasks I have assigned you."
The last words Lincon said were quite harsh, and the look he looked at Guan Teng became cold and hard.
As a soldier, the most important thing is to obey orders and not worry about other issues.
Guan Teng may be thinking about Longwind City, but this is obviously beyond the scope of his responsibilities.
Facing Lincon's cold eyes, Guan Teng obviously realized this, secretly scolded himself, straightened his back and shouted, "Promise to complete the task!"
Lincon's expression softened slightly, and he said in a calm tone, "The so-called panic among people is not the preparation for war itself, but that they don't know where they are, they can't see the future, and they don't know what they can do."
"As long as they understand that everything has a corresponding arrangement, and that all their efforts are to protect their homeland, they will think in one place and work hard in one place, and they will not panic."
Lincon's eyes fell on Zhang Rui and Zhou Qing.
"I have prepared a wartime people's livelihood Protection Regulations in advance and sent it to your respective authorized accounts using Celestial Pivot Crystal Network."
"I may not have time to hold another meeting due to some matters in the future, so I will leave this matter to you two."
He was not lying. He would still be busy in the next period of time.
If you want to resist Abyss Sea and the five Abyss Epic, you can't just rely on him and Ying.
Although Dayfeather Golden Crow now has Epic-level combat power, and there is no problem with the previous Epic Lord, but overall Longwind City is still weak in terms of top-level combat power.
Lincon no longer wants to feel the cowardice he felt when he was in Great Wall Defense Line. He wants to take back the oppression and despair brought by Abyss Epic himself.
As instructions were issued one after another, Longwind City began to operate at high speed.
After Zhang Rui and Zhou Qing left Sacred Court, they immediately took out Celestial Pivot Crystal Leaves and began to carefully browse the things Lord sent them.
Protection Regulations is not very long, and the key contents are specially highlighted.
During wartime, the food quotas of all subjects will remain unchanged, their residence rights will not be affected, and their basic medical security will not be reduced.
The wages of all workers participating in war preparation production will be doubled, and the wages of civilian Contribution Points will be calculated according to wartime standards.
Longwind Academy still teaches normally, but has added wartime emergency courses. All students are not allowed to be absent, otherwise they will be treated as skipping classes and basic credits will be deducted.
Adventurers' Guild has added daily tasks. In addition to exploration and collection, the task scope also includes territorial patrols and frontline reconnaissance. In view of its degree of danger, the bounty issued is much higher than before.
"The contents of these regulations are very complete!"
Han Qu came close to Zhang Rui, stared at the content on Celestial Pivot Crystal Leaves's terminal, and marveled.
"I didn't expect Master Lord to have such outstanding abilities in government affairs. If you concentrate on government affairs, I'm afraid you won't have anything to worry about."
Zhang Rui read this regulation carefully several times from beginning to end, and nodded in admiration.
"I have always felt that adults have unique ideas in some aspects. For example, when Adventurers' Guild was first established, it was actually just opened
At first many people were not optimistic about this plan."
"Unexpectedly, Adventurers' Guild not only solves the problem of the flow of a large number of ability users in the city, but can also use them to promote the issuance of Longwind Currency, search for supplies, and clean up Minor Black Tide—all of this does not even require dispatching Garrison Guard, and can directly issue tasks to the adventurers of the guild."
Han Qu said, "Then I will arrange for people to post the regulations now and inform the whole city."
"No rush." Zhang Rui waved his hand. "The regulations do need to be notified, but they must be sent together with the meeting content."
"Go and notify Cultural Affairs Bureau to publish a separate special issue, with meeting minutes on the front page, war preparation arrangements on the second page, and people's livelihood regulations on the third page."
Han Qu was stunned for a moment. "But I remember that tomorrow is the update time for Thunder Lord and other novels."
Zhang Rui frowned slightly when he heard this. "Which of these two things is more important do you still need me to say?"
"But what about those readers?"
Zhang Rui thought of a random reason, "Just say that the author is sick and ask for leave. I think they will understand."
Han Qu opened his mouth, but the words were stuck in his throat. In the end, he couldn't say it out, so he sighed helplessly.
He can't tell Zhang Rui that he is actually a loyal reader of Thunder Lord, waiting for updates every day, right?
In just half a day, Governing Hall's preliminary announcement was sorted out and delivered to the Cultural Affairs Bureau personally by Han Qu.
As the secondary department of Longwind City, Cultural Affairs Bureau is in charge of public opinion propaganda and cultural content production in the city.
At this time, Director Li Yunfan was sitting behind his desk, staring at the special issue request in his hand, and a long black pen was spinning rapidly between his fingers.
"Director Li, there should be no problem, right?" Han Qu asked from the side.
"No problem." Li Yunfan nodded. "Longwind City has entered a state of combat readiness. At this time, all activities should make way for it. I believe that the majority of readers can understand."
Seeing Li Yunfan's confident look, Han Qu was about to turn around and leave, but before taking two steps, he turned around and came back.
"Director Li, the update for this issue of Thunder Lord should have been completed, right?"
"It's indeed completed." Li Yunfan saw Han Qu's solemn expression and nodded with some confusion.
Han Qu's face lit up, he puffed up his chest and coughed twice. "Can you please print out a separate copy of this unpublished novel journal and give me a copy? To be honest, there aren't many entertainment projects in the city, and I don't like to go to pubs to drink. I usually read books to relieve my boredom."
Li Yunfan paused after hearing this, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with Han Qu's idea.
As the senior editor of Old Era, he knows very well what readers want and understands Han Qu's mood very well.
He opened the drawer under his desk and took out a wooden box. After opening it, there were rolls of paper tied with red strings.
Facing Han Qu's puzzled gaze, Li Yunfan pushed the wooden box over and said with a slight smile, "This is the next update of Thunder Lord and other novels. It is a first-hand manuscript sent by the authors. If you need it, you can take it first."
"Really!"
Han Qu was overjoyed and grabbed the wooden box. He felt that the wooden box was heavy and filled with his spiritual food for the next week.
"But-" Li Yunfan added solemnly, "Although these manuscripts have been backed up, they are still the hard work of those writers, and Cultural Affairs Bureau will store them in a special archive room."
"Please take good care of them and take them all back after reading them."
Han Qu held the wooden box in his arms and said solemnly, "Don't worry, I will return it to Zhao intact, and not even half of the paper will be damaged!"
He turned around and left, leaving Li Yunfan sitting there with an empty heart.
Somehow, he always felt that this was the last time he would see this manuscript.
Longwind City's night has returned to its former prosperous state.
At night, Ash Snow will still rain, but the temperature is not so cold. With the cool breeze blowing gently on the face, it is extremely comfortable, making people eager to experience the wonderful nightlife.
Since the parliament was held during the day, the content of this Longwind Council has not yet reached the ears of all the subjects, and many people were immersed in the joy of the return of daylight.
Of course, some people take advantage of this opportunity and want to make a big splash.
Longwind Auction House started building momentum as soon as the day came back, sending leaflets to everyone as much as possible.
As long as someone picks up the flyer and takes a look, they can see the title written in bold and large font.
["Fish-Fish Fruit·Mythical Zoan·Azure Dragon Form" is a shocking first release!!]
Seeing such a series of slogans, a normal person would not be able to help but take a look at it.
The result is that you won't know it until you look at it. Once you look at the content behind it, you can't take your eyes away.
Longwind Auction House not only puts this fruit on the shelf, but also comes with a full two-page description of its abilities.
From transforming into a dragon and flying to commanding the wind and rain, from physical tyranny to mental immunity, every written effect makes people's hearts beat faster and scream "Fuck!"
Of course, the most important thing is that ordinary people can immediately gain abilities after eating it. There is no cost or burden, and they can become powerful ability users right where they are.
I have to say.
Being able to fly, transform into Azure Dragon, and control the wind and rain—these points have really attracted many people.
Even adventurers who were not interested in Fish-Fish Fruit could not help but raise their eyebrows after seeing these words, and became somewhat interested.
"Is this thing really that strong?"
Many people step into the door of Longwind Auction House with this doubt in mind.
As the auction time approached, Longwind Auction House was quickly crowded with people. Many people didn't even have a place to sit, so they could only stand on tiptoe and look at the separated area in the center.
In the area, the spirit fruit with light blue dragon scale patterns all over the body was placed in a transparent cover, with only a gold stand underneath to support it. On the outside, there were pieces of Rune Stone placed in a circle to form a powerful defense Rune Array to prevent anyone from touching the fruit without permission.
Behind the curtain on the auction stage, Xu Lili is lowering his head and carefully arranging the hanging accessories and clothes for Hong Yun.
She hesitated several times, as if she had something to say.
Hong Yun sighed, "You can ask whatever you want. I'll feel bad for you if I hold it in my heart."
Xu Lili's pretty face turned red. She first carefully arranged Hong Yun's clothes, then pursed her lips and asked.
"Sister Hong, Miss Ying only said that the fruit is called Fish-Fish Fruit, and that after eating it, ordinary people can gain abilities, but she didn't seem to say what abilities it can awaken, right?"
"But on those flyers you printed, you can transform into Azure Dragon and control the wind and rain—so many abilities. Is it too much? You know, Adventurers' Guild's powerful adventure group leaders can't do these."
"What do you know!" Hong Yun snorted coldly, raised his finger and poked Xu Lili's forehead hard.
"This is called marketing! Do you see the pair of dragon horns on that fruit?"
"Yes." Xu Lili thought about it carefully.
"Are there many lines on the fruit that look like dragon scales?"
"Yes." Xu Lili was a little confused, but continued to nod.
"Isn't that okay?"
Hong Yun put his hands on his hips and said confidently, "The fruit looks like a dragon, so is it wrong to say that after eating it, it can transform into Azure Dragon? And in myths and legends, Azure Dragon can control wind and rain, and I didn't make it up."
"Miss Ying just said the name of the fruit is Fish-Fish Fruit. I didn't change it, I just made the name slightly complicated.
A little."
"But--" Xu Lili's eyes widened and he was almost convinced. "What if the person who bought the fruit cannot transform into Azure Dragon after eating it?"
Hong Yun put his hands on Xu Lili's shoulders with a serious look on his face.
"First of all, I believe that the power of this fruit must be related to its appearance."
"Secondly, if you can't transform into Azure Dragon, it must be that the eater has not developed enough abilities."
"People who are only rubbish have no ability to be rubbish!"
Xu Lili's mouth twitched, he was stunned by Hong Yun's fallacy and couldn't find any room to refute.
Is this really the power of my thinking?
