514 Chapter 513-spreading fear

After that, Zhao Xu and the others followed rice and Ted, who were in charge of the mines, and went around mine 36, which he owned, and mine 48, which was under the jurisdiction of the Association. They met all the miners and even the management of these two key mines and got to know each other.

Then, everyone returned to the city. They went back to the place where Zhao Xu and Zheng xinyun had stayed in his previous life. It was also the new base of the fallen star town’s wizard Association.

Other than the crowd of nosy players who wanted to see the number one player in Arthur, the authorities of Starfall town also came. They needed to confirm the title deed in his hand and clarify the construction process of the Association’s base.

Zhao Xu also saw a lot of familiar faces among the players in the management level. They were basically the ones who had organized the resistance Alliance from behind the scenes.

Their current position was the result of the resources they had invested in.

When the players had broken into Starfall town, they had hung the mine owners who had participated in the slave trade one by one. At the same time, they had punished a series of people in power, starting from the mayor. Naturally, the entire management had been emptied out, giving the players a chance to occupy it.

As long as these people in power could survive until the moment earth transmigrated, most of them would be promoted to higher levels or return to Earth to get more important positions.

After more than a month of working together, Starfall town had returned to its original calm.

Mr. Zhongxia, this is the ‘demolition permit’ and ‘construction permit’ proof.

The mayor, Lawrence, was a wise old man who had been transferred from winter city. In two years, he would be going back to enjoy his old age.

The reason why he was able to make it back to the mountains was that the previous incident had caused too much of a ruckus, so he, the old town mayor from ten years ago, had to come out to suppress the situation.

“thank you,” he said. Zhao Xu nodded his head slightly to express his gratitude.

He still had a lot of respect for the mayor, who had been driven away by the mine owners because he refused to join in the dirty work.

at this time, he flipped through the documents in his hand and found that there were other documents such as “tax exemption,””city appearance inspection exemption,””city management exemption,” and so on. the duration of the construction was expected to last for three months.

after all, he couldn’t stay here 24 hours a day. these documents were meant to deal with the various departments in the town.

However, Zhao Xu had another identity at the moment, and he didn’t need it.

“Take it and see.” Zhao Xu handed the documents to Wang Ningwei. you’ll need them in the future.

“Ah?” Wang Ningwei was confused.

“Don’t you like to build a tall Wizard Tower in the center of a Big Town? The process of building a Wizard Tower is similar to today’s. These are the documents you need to prepare.”

Zhao Xu couldn’t help but tease him.

“Ah?” “How did you know?” Wang Ningwei suddenly asked in a shy voice.

She didn’t expect that the most secretive fantasy in her heart would be exposed by Zhao Xu. This was also the reason why she had been so determined to become a wizard in the first place.

The tall Mage Tower that reached into the clouds and was located at the center of all the buildings was one of the dreams of this young girl. She had even come up with a name like ” imaginary traps “.

Zhao Xu just grinned and didn’t explain.

In his previous life, in the capital of earth, ya Nan, the entire city was like a piece of gossip. The buildings spread out in circles, and in the center stood Wang Ningwei’s Wizard Tower.

At first, he thought it was Wang Ningwei’s way of showing that she was the one who stood by her words among the forces on earth.

Only now did he know that this was the explosion of a young girl’s Chuunibyou soul.

He now suspected that the layout of the capital cities of the forces on earth in his previous life was something that Wang Ningwei had casually drawn in her fantasy.

“But come on, Mr. Zhongxia.”

At this moment, the mayor suddenly bowed to Zhao Xu and said, “I’m sorry, but I have a favor to ask of you.

“Speak.” After Zhao Xu finished speaking, his companions, who had been observing the layout of the nearby buildings, all turned their attention back to him.

Archbishop soz, on the other hand, continued to lower his head, as if he was praying to the goddess.

Antonya glanced at it but didn’t continue cleaning it. Instead, she kept looking at the well in the courtyard, as if she was very interested in it.

And the people behind Mayor Lawrence were all looking at Zhao Xu with anticipation and wariness in their eyes.

It was the same for both the players and the residents of Arthur.

It formed a clear boundary with Zhao Xu’s side.

Zhao Xu had thought that it was because of Archbishop soz that the mayor was so cooperative and easy to talk to, and that he had even prepared a series of documents for him in advance.

One must know that other than being “mysterious “, mages were also often accompanied by the reputation of” fear.

The players were fine, but the ordinary townspeople were extremely afraid of the magic buildings. They were afraid that a demon with bat wings would run out of the buildings, or that a fireball would come out of the window one day and fall into the residential area.

That was why Zhao Xu had chosen this area as the location for his “Association. other than the houses on the outer perimeter that had to be moved, this area would also be sealed off if there was nothing going on.

“Mr. Zhongxia, didn’t you get the ‘sovereignty’ from commander donder?” Lawrence asked.

“That’s right.” Zhao Xu nodded.

however, the power system of the Alliance is half-feudal and half-autonomous, right? just because I have the ‘sovereignty’ of this area, as well as the entire Starfall Lake and the Kuangqu, doesn’t mean that I can do whatever I want. You don’t have to worry about that, do you? ”

In some completely feudalistic countries, suzerains controlled the sky, the earth, and the air. Other than theocracy, they basically had complete control over everything else.

Although it wasn’t as exaggerated as the legendary ” right to the first night, ” basically, from tax collection to conscription, everything was decided by the Lord.

the reason why the alliance was not an empire or a duchy was that it was semi-autonomous. it could be considered a co-governance between the elites and the nobles, so the power of the ” sovereign ” was greatly limited.

For example, in the management of a town, the Lord would have a seat in the decision-making level.

He even had the “right to discuss matters” in winter city, and had the right to participate in some large-scale meetings.

Donder’s ” sovereignty ” was actually allowing Zhao Xu to rise to the top of the hierarchy in winter city!

In terms of tax, he would also get a certain share of the revenue, which was the most cost-effective part of this ” sovereignty.

in starfall town, a place that produced silver mines, it was even more valuable.

More importantly, his own Chamber of Commerce had obtained the natural power of ” tax reduction and exemption. sometimes, he could even easily defeat other Chambers of Commerce by making good use of this.

The Alliance’s ” sovereignty ” essentially corresponded to ” land, ” and the duration was also divided into ” temporary ” and ” permanent “.

The temporary rule would last for 10 years. Once it expired, the land would be taken back to the Alliance and rewarded for their contributions.

As for perpetuity, there was no time limit. The ones who had perpetuous territories were the nobles of the Alliance.

For example, commander donder had been given a ” temporary ” piece of land by the Alliance because he had been promoted to a commander. The part of Starfall town that Zhao Xu had obtained was also part of that piece of land.

At this moment, Mayor Lawrence lowered his head even more, as if he was about to kneel. our town’s management has discussed it and we still hope that Mr. Zhongxia will put your focus on the Association and not interfere with the town’s management in the short term.

but don’t worry, we will definitely prepare your share of your personal tax. We will not delay.

As soon as she said this, Zhao Xu’s friends, like Wang Ningwei, couldn’t help but laugh.

The White Dragon was about to start cursing at Zhao Xu, but when Zhao Xu glanced back at it, it immediately closed its mouth.

“It’s not mine. I don’t want it even if you give it to me, including your current position as Mayor.”

Zhao Xu scanned the people in front of him and saw that their expressions were already a little stiff.

“But if that item is mine, then no one can take it away.”

He said in a powerful voice.

As for the second half of the sentence, ” except for Antonya. then there was no need to say it.

“Mr. Zhongxia.”

At this moment, a high-level player, ” Hu Ke, ” who was previously in the resistance Alliance, rashly walked up and said, ” don’t worry, we can use a certain amount of property to exchange for it.

As he spoke, his eyes revealed his confidence. including the money in the real world, that’s fine too.

This was because it was a rare opportunity for the number one player, zhongxia, to come into contact with him.

Most of the high-ranking players in Starfall town had taken this opportunity to come and fill the empty courtyard.

Most of them looked at Mr. Zhongxia with surprise. He was originally very easy-going, but he suddenly became extremely serious.

“There’s a saying on earth that what can’t be taken back with fists may not be taken back with words.”

As Zhao Xu spoke, he suddenly threw a gold coin into the air.

[ technique: concealed casting! ]

[ silence ]: magic!

By using the instant he flicked the coin, Zhao Xu used the ” technique ” that he had painstakingly studied to cover up any traces of him casting the spell.

“Oh,”

In an instant, the gold coin that had been sent flying in the air fell back down in a straight line and returned to Zhao Xu’s hand.

“Fear!”

Zhao Xu shouted out in Arthur’s lingua franca, but he didn’t say a single word.

The players who were close enough to hear it almost laughed out loud. They wondered if the other party thought that they could use divine powers, and that they could just shout their names when they cast spells.

However, in the next second, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately covered his chest with his hand.

This spell had an area of effect of 10 meters. It was a level 3 poet and Level 4 mage spell. It suddenly burst out and enveloped everyone in the field.

[ adventurer xxx, your will immunity has failed, you are in a state of fear (tremble)! ]

In an instant, countless people’s dynamic bars popped up with this cold prompt.

The town’s higher-ups, who had been expecting zhongxia to give in, suddenly felt fear from the depths of their hearts.

“bang!”

“Bang!”

The sound of something falling to the ground could be heard.

The people who had been hit by the ” art of fear ” couldn’t even hold the things in their hands steadily. They were in a state of ” trembling “.

At this moment, even if they wanted to wave the swords in their hands, they would not be able to perform well due to the fear in their hearts.

Zhao Xu didn’t even say much. It was just as he had said, there was no point in talking.

Therefore, he showed the power of his ” speaking ” to the mayor and the others.

In particular, the mayor, Lawrence, who bore the brunt of the attack, kept swallowing his saliva.

Having been oppressed by the Dragon’s might effect before, he had seen a similar effect. The fear in his heart was awakened again. His legs were shaking, and he didn’t dare to move at all.

Only attacking their spirit without causing any actual damage was the way mage zhongxia was using peaceful means before resorting to force.

Even if the other party increased the amount, with the accumulation of fear itself, they would rise from the first level of ” trembling ” to the second level of ” fear ” and even the third level of ” panic.

Once they reached the third level, it was easy for them to have an emotional breakdown and act like they had gone crazy. They would not be able to face anything and would panic.

A small number of players were under the protection of the gods. Although they were not completely trembling like the people of Arthur, they were not much better off.

In that state just now, it was as if someone was pressing down on their heads forcefully, and terrifying images even flashed through their minds.

“damn it, how did he cast the spell? I didn’t even see it. ”

fear effect, the most intuitive estimate is the 4th circle arcane fear. Another player explained.

but no one passed the test. Isn’t this too much? ”

“Shut up, you’re so embarrassing. So many people had come, but they had not even made a move and had already withdrawn.

Zhao Xu looked at the mayor, Lawrence, kindly and said frankly, ”

“I think I should be able to prove it. I’m qualified to change your minds now, right?”
