Chapter 174 Renovation and Upgrade
Chapter 174 Renovation and Upgrade
With the continuous development of Thanos' power, Xiling Town, Mirowan Town and Kaiyue Town on Mary's side also began bloody suppression.
Because the three apprentice wizards left in a hurry, some of their confidantes didn't take them with them.
And the confidantes of these wizard apprentices were full of vigilance and hostility towards Mary's arrival.
Just like when Thanos came to Zixi Town.
But Mary was not used to these veterans from the previous court, and directly brought some administrators from Thanos, and began to replace them.
If there is any dissatisfaction, Mary will act immediately to make the other party evaporate.
Most of the time, she even killed hundreds of people a day, and was called Mary the Butcher.
Mary, of course, readily accepted this, and showed the guillotine and various tortures.
This made her reputation even more prosperous.
In the bloody suppression, Mary temporarily stabilized the situation, tried to learn from Thanos, and carried out some reforms.
Such as building factories, manufacturing hydraulic windmills, improving the treatment of human beings, and so on.
However, because there is no such cheap labor as skeletons, the effect of the reform is not very good, and some people even flee.
Although the drought and famine were alleviated and people's lives improved because of a rain, it still couldn't stand Mary's torment.
Running away is also normal.
After all, he couldn't survive anymore, so he could only run away.
Faced with this situation, Mary had no choice but to go to Thanos for help again.
afternoon a week later.
In Menghua Town, people are beginning to appear.
Because of the heavy rain a week ago, plus some clouds in the sky, the temperature has dropped a bit.
Usually only about 47 octaves.
This made some people occasionally come out for a walk in the afternoon.
Wearing a wizard's robe, Mary rode on a lion-like but puppet mount. Looking at the surrounding streets and people's smiles, she sighed slightly in her heart.
"Oh, how did he do it?"
In fact, to get to the bottom of it, the reason why she wants to rule the town is because she sees Thanos so relaxed, so she wants to make a career for herself.
After all, Thanos is either researching or experimenting every day, and his only role is probably to lead the army to fight.
But even if it is a war, Thanos only provides a general strategy, and the rest is for his subordinates to arrange themselves.
Whether it's fighting or administration, I didn't see the other side's role at all.
Even some research and transformations are in charge of Ai Ruo.
This inevitably prevented Mary from giving birth to a feeling that I can do it.
But after she really got on, she realized that things were not that simple at all.
First of all, it is to ensure that the subordinates will not be obedient to others, as well as people's survival guarantee, military equipment, prosperity of the town and so on.
And most importantly, taxes.
After all, if a town without taxes can't bring any benefits, then why come here.
Only taxation and money can organize the army and purchase weapons and equipment. In addition to these, there must be extra money for research and experiments.
But she doesn't know anything about these things, and none of her subordinates know.
Even if someone is borrowed from Thanos, it is only to maintain order in the town.
At this moment, she suddenly envied Thanos for having such a group of subordinates.
You don’t have to do anything by yourself, just study quietly.
After a while, she came near Thanos' research building, looking at the surrounding roads and houses being remodeled, she secretly complained in her heart.
What a waste of people's energy.
These roads and houses can still be used for decades. If it were her, she would definitely send people to farm or mine.
Then there will be an income.
At this time, she saw the maid who cooked delicious food last time, holding a box in her hand, and was about to go upstairs, so she suddenly felt her stomach growling.
"What's in your hand?"
After asking, without waiting for Suni to answer, she directly took the box in the other party's hand.
Immediately, a scent came oncoming.
Looking into the box, you can see a bunch of skewers and grilled fish.
So she picked up a bunch and sniffed it, then put it in her mouth.
This is a taste she has never tasted before. I don't know how to describe it. Anyway, two words, delicious.
"Well, what is this? It's so delicious!"
After eating a bunch, she immediately picked up another bunch and started eating.
Seeing this, Suni immediately took back the box, looked at Mary warily, and said cautiously: "This is the barbecue that my lord taught me recently, and it's what my lord told me to eat."
Seeing the other party looking at her like a thief, Mary could only wipe her mouth helplessly, and mumbled: "Damn guy, I really enjoy it."
After finishing speaking, she ran upstairs.
"dong dong dong"
Following a quick knock on the door, Thanos' voice came from inside.
"and many more."
Hearing this sound, Mary, who was about to push the door open, stopped immediately.
You must know that the laboratory is the most important place for a wizard. If you enter rashly without the other party's permission, it may even turn the two into enemies.
So no matter how anxious she was, she could only wait outside.
After a while, Suni came up with dinner.
But the other party saw that Mary was just waiting at the door, and immediately knew that it was inconvenient for the adults, so they also waited outside the door.
I don't know how long it has passed, the sun has set and the moon has appeared, and Mary feels sleepy for a while.
"Damn guy, why haven't you come out yet."
As soon as the words were finished, the door squeaked open, and Thanos' tired face appeared.
Seeing Thanos appear, Suni immediately opened the box and walked over.
"My lord, please have a meal."
Thanos nodded, picked up a skewer of barbecue and ate it.
In fact, this barbecue was at the frogmen's place, and I came up with some spices.
Unfortunately, it was a bit cold and the taste was not so good.
After just two bites, seeing Mary with glowing eyes, she could only remind her to eat too.
Seeing this, Mary naturally ate without hesitation.
After a while, the two finished their dinner, and Thanos took the initiative to ask, "What's the matter with me this time?"
Upon hearing this, Mary immediately expressed her troubles.
She was very puzzled why the civilians under her rule ran away. They were obviously learning from Thanos' reforms, but the results showed two extremes.
In this regard, Thanos shook his head helplessly, and began to sell his own skeleton.
The price is still one gold coin, no kidding.
However, the price of the soul fire has been slightly increased, thirty silver coins and one soul fire.
Mary heard that the commoners were because there were skeletons that could be squeezed, so she planned to buy a hundred skeletons and go back to test the water.
But when she was about to leave, Thanos suddenly said: "I plan to organize a convoy to Biyou City in a few days, are you interested in sending someone to go with you?"
