Chapter 212： Secret gate

"Lord Lord, we have brought you breakfast."

At this moment, there was a cry from outside the territory.

It was the voice of the steward Xu Zhong.

When Lin You thought about it, the vines of the ivy made way for them.

After a while, Xu Zhong followed a few food delivery leaders into the territory.

"Meet the Lord."

"Is there a problem?"

Lin You casually clicked on the chat channel to view it.

"I came here to report the situation around Huangsha City to the lord." Xu Zhong replied respectfully.

"Well, just say it."

Lin You continued to flip through the chat channel, listening intently.

Upon seeing this, Xu Zhong immediately said: "Lord Lord, after our investigation yesterday afternoon, it has been determined that the lord of Xuanyang City fell in the battlefield of Wanjie, and the lords of the other two cities also suffered heavy losses."

"The Lord of Xuanyang City is dead?"

Lin You stopped and looked at him.

"Yes, and not only that, according to the merchants who passed by this morning, the seventh-order lord of the ancient city has also fallen. It is estimated that there will be unrest there soon, so I want to come and ask the lord. Intend."

"The lord of the ancient city is also dead?" Lin You was slightly surprised.

The ancient city is almost 300 kilometers away from Huangsha City.

It is also the seventh-order territory closest to them.

Linchuan City, which Lin You had learned from the merchants before, was the subordinate territory of the ancient city.

Lin You never expected that the lord would also die in the battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms.

To know.

The ancient city is a medium-sized city with a population of more than 100,000.

If these populations can be absorbed, it will definitely be a huge leap for Huangsha City, and it is not impossible even to become a medium-sized city in one fell swoop!

And he has now upgraded the seventh-order territory.

It is completely capable of housing so many people without worrying about mob unrest or the like.

After thinking about it for a while, he said directly: "Okay, then go back and tell Director Xue that as long as you are a resident who has moved to the territory of Huangsha City, all taxes will be exempted for the first month, and then you will find someone to spread the matter out. "

"Okay! I'll do it now!"

Xu Zhong's spirit was shocked, and there was an uncontrollable joy on his face.

He came here, waiting for Lin You's words.

After all, if Huangsha City develops into a medium-sized city with a population of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, then as elder-level stewards, their status and status will naturally rise, and their faces will be brighter.

How dare you waste time, and after instructing people to put away the breakfast, they hurriedly left the territory and rushed to Huangsha City.

And not long after.

News that Huangsha City exempted new residents from paying taxes for a month quickly spread inside and outside the city, and even spread to other surrounding cities.

"Is this news true? Can a new resident really get a month's tax exemption?"

"It shouldn't be wrong. I just saw with my own eyes that Director Xue led people to announce it on the central square, and many notices were posted in the city."

"That's great! I'm just wondering where to settle down."

"The same is true for me. I just came from Xuanyang City. The resources in Huangsha City are much better than Xuanyang City."

"Isn't this nonsense? I heard that the lord has risen to the seventh rank yesterday, can it be comparable to the sixth rank lord?"

"Wow! Seventh-order lord? Then I must move here to live!"

As we all know, the higher the level of the lord in a territory, the more abundant the development resources of the territory.

Those building levels alone are not comparable to low-level lords.

And also very safe.

Especially after Lin You rose to the seventh level this time, the territorial sacred artifact also unlocked the second-level gain status.

[Sacred Artifact Name: Savage Growth (Plant)]

[Level 1: All attributes +8%, injury recovery +10%]

[Level 2: All attributes +8%, injury recovery +10%]

[Level 3 (unlocked): All attributes +8%, injury recovery +10%]

[Level 4 (unlocked): Territory Skill "Woodland Guardian"]

[Characteristics: Within the territory, the growth rate of plants is increased by 100%, the attributes of troops are increased by 16%, and the recovery of injuries is increased by 20%]

[Introduction to the Holy Artifact: Pray for the Holy Artifact to get the effect of territory blessing, which lasts for one day. 】

The powerful territorial blessing effect can almost increase the strength of the territorial citizens by nearly 20%, which is absolutely unmatched by ordinary sixth-order territories.

With this buff, it will be much easier for them to go out and hunt monsters.

And with the recovery of luck.

There are gradually monsters in the Gobi that have evolved to above the seventh-order, attracting more and more seventh-order practitioners.

The entire Huangsha City is really booming.

Anyone can see the huge potential in it.

And this time.

inside the territory.

After arranging the task of absorbing the population, Lin You also sat down at the dining table and checked the territory management interface while eating breakfast.

When he saw it, he was taken aback.

The daily revenue of Huangsha City has soared from the original one thousand to ten thousand.

A full tenfold!

After deducting all kinds of maintenance costs and miscellaneous labor costs, I can still make a net profit of about 5,000 per day.

In other words, even if he does nothing now, he can recruit two seventh-order troops every day.

And this number will gradually increase as the population increases.

It really did exactly what he said.

The income of the seventh-order lord of others can match his efforts for several days.

then.

Lin You clicked on the seventh-order ranking list again.

I found that my own really did not squeeze into 10,000.

Even above the Yellow Sand City, the Glory Crown, which symbolized the number one on the list, disappeared when he upgraded to the seventh rank.

But he wasn't worried.

Because even if there is no Glory Crown bonus, his current belief increase rate is almost 10 points per day, which is much faster than when he first came.

As for his ranking, not to mention.

After all, he has just upgraded his territory, the seventh-tier arms have not yet been recruited, and the other sixth-tier troops are temporarily unavailable.

If you care about this, you might as well spend more time developing your territory.

Think about it.

Lin You just clicked on the building interface and checked them one by one.

The ore resources he has left now are almost enough to raise all the basic buildings in Huangsha City to Tier 7.

Considering that the next wave of population migration may be ushered in.

He temporarily gave up the upgrade of the territorial buildings, and used all the ore resources to upgrade the basic buildings of Huangsha City.

In an instant.

Light is constantly shining in every corner of Huangsha City.

Those sixth-order basic buildings have all been upgraded to seventh-order, which attracted the surrounding pedestrians to stop and watch.

After upgrading the buildings, Lin You also found that there were several more forest-related buildings in the building interface.

Such as sentry towers, arrow towers, and natural springs.

The first two knew what they were by looking at their names, but the third one surprised Lin You.

【Building Name: Natural Spring】

[Building level: first-order]

[Building function: surging spring water can provide residents with healing for all injuries, except fatal injuries. Each treatment costs magic energy/magic crystal, and is only valid for residents below the building level. 】

[Healing Consumption: Resident Level x2]

[Daily consumption: 100 mana]

[Required for construction: 500 wood, 500 stone, 250 iron ore, 250 copper ore, 500 magic energy]

Overall, it's a good building.

It can be built when there are enough resources in the future.

This will not only allow the territorial people to quickly recover from their injuries when they return from hunting, but also earn a lot of mana.

He is not greedy either.

It's enough to treat 1,800 people every day. It's not too much to earn a few thousand mana from him, right?

The accumulation of such a building is also a lot of income.

"By the way, it seems that you unlocked something when you upgraded to the seventh level?"

Suddenly, Lin You thought of the prompt he heard when he upgraded to the seventh rank.

It seems that in addition to unlocking building levels, another feature is unlocked.

Quickly open the territory interface and pull it to the bottom.

Sure enough, I saw that behind the long list of functions, there was an option called [Gate of the Secret Realm].

He opened it quickly, and a series of introductions came into his eyes.

[The gate of the secret realm: You can open the gate of the secret realm within the territory and go to the secret realm sanctuary. 】

"..."

Is this the end?

No more introduction?

Lin You looked stunned, looked left and right at the above sentence, but couldn't see any doorway at all.

And under unknown circumstances, he didn't dare to use this function easily, for fear that something might go wrong.

No way, in this case, he can only ask for help off the court.

After thinking about it for a while, he immediately turned on the private chat function and sent a private message to Ji Yunshuang.

If there was anyone he knew who knew inside information, it was the princess Ji Yunshuang.

as predicted.

Not long after the message was sent, a reply was received immediately.

"Suddenly asked me about the door to the secret realm, have you upgraded to the seventh level?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, she could see that she really understood this aspect.

If Lin You had any nonsense, he directly replied with a message: "Well, I upgraded it when I came back yesterday, so I want to ask, you should know?"

"It's natural. My father's subordinates often run to the gate of the secret realm. The place is very dangerous, but I heard that you can get the artifact of arms and many other resources."

"Army treasures?"

Lin You's eyes lit up, but he didn't expect to learn about the secret treasure in such an unintentional situation.

"Yeah, you should have heard of the military treasures, right?"

"I heard it, you continue to say."

"I've heard of it The gate of the secret realm is actually the same function as the main city teleportation, but the place where it is transmitted is the secret realm sanctuary in the center of the continent, which is jointly managed by the three aboriginal empires. , connected to the main plane of monsters"

"Monster main plane?"

"Yes, the monsters in the main plane of monsters are all seventh-order at least, because the space there is extremely unstable, there are often entrances to secret realms, a large number of monsters emerge, and even a beast tide, so in order to prevent a large number of high-level monsters from invading In the mainland, you must send someone to clear the monsters in the secret realm in advance."

"I see......"

After reading Ji Yunshuang's explanation, Lin You suddenly realized.

At the same time, shocked.

The lowest-level monsters are all seventh-order. What kind of terrifying place is this monster's main plane? I'm afraid that a lot of monsters of eighth-ninth or even tenth order will come out directly.

It's a pity that Ji Yunshuang didn't give him much time to think about it, and Ji Yunshuang sent another message right after.

"However, I suggest that it is better not to go there recently. It will be dangerous."
