Lord Anaken's answer was somewhat beyond Liu Yifei's expectation, but after thinking about it, it made sense.

Although the area south of Ptolemy produced a large number of war refugees due to the fall of a large area of ​​land, however, even "refugees" are not completely worthless. The turmoil in the territory and the chaos of the underlying society are inevitable problems that cannot be avoided during the war.

, however, how he was able to take advantage of this chaotic situation and turn the crisis into an opportunity through ingenuity reflects the superb skills of the rulers in details.

Because "refugees" and "immigrants", the lowest level NPC social units, have very low intelligence, the commands and judgment statements set by the system for them are also unusually simple.

As the saying goes, the simpler and more essential something is, the more flawless it is. So even though these guys may not be able to change a word of basic dialogue, they are also the least likely to be affected by any external factors.

I have only ever heard that high-level players can use their tricks to get around high-level NPCs, but when have you ever heard of someone being able to thrive among a group of low-level NPCs whose basic dialogues are fixed?

Started?

Because that's simply impossible!

Not to mention that it is impossible for players to fool these lowest-level NPCs with some fancy tricks...even the NPC lords themselves cannot!

Because the shaping of the "character" of these population bases comes from the system, which is the most basic setting of the so-called "World Goddess". At this point, it is difficult for even the king-level supreme to change freely.

Therefore, if they want to make some population transfer to balance the development rhythm of their territories, even the king and others will have a headache. It is simply impossible to move these NPCs who are rooted in one place and are almost nailed there.

However, things are different in times of war, especially in situations like Ptolemy's current situation.

In fact, what these refugees face is no longer a situation of whether they are willing to move, but that they must leave, otherwise they will only "die"!

Of course, they cannot be resurrected, but compared to disappearing completely, their survival level is enough to force them to leave their homes that have been reduced to ruins, and then move to another place to rebuild their homes under the orders of the kingdom.

It can be said that this is almost the only time when the king of a country can "freely" order these lowest-level NPCs to interact. If you don't take this opportunity to properly deploy these people and invest more in players who are more loyal to the kingdom and more powerful.

In the lord's territory

Then... that becomes a bit unreasonable. Therefore, in fact, Ptolemy's method of buying the population at a constant speed by outsiders can be said to be well-intentioned, and it is indeed an effective way to change the current situation of the kingdom under difficult circumstances and make it faster in the future.

One of the effective measures to restore vitality!

However......

As a result, things became troublesome for Liu Yifei~

He didn't expect at first that this incident actually involved the "internal affairs" of these personal families. It was all the fault of the old vampire Toradere for not telling him clearly beforehand, which made Liu Yifei very happy.

I ran over. Unexpectedly, this was the situation.

What to do now?

Give up the method of human trafficking and go back and wait five or six months for the territory to naturally upgrade?

Stop kidding~

Liu Yifei was afraid that the architectural drawings in his hand would become moldy!

"Hey, there is no other way. It seems that we can only go to King Ptolemy directly..."

After coming out of Lord Anaken's castle, Liu Yifei smiled helplessly, but he was unwilling to give up and decided to go to the Ptolemaic capital with the others!

The Ptolemaic Capital is a huge building complex built on a black rock mountain!

Compared with Solna, which is also considered a "new kingdom", Ptolemy's royal capital is more majestic after all. The continuous city walls, city defense buildings and the entire rocky mountain form a complete defensive line, which can only resist the enemy.

The strike capability is much stronger than those cities of the same level built in plain areas. Liu Yifei was quite amazed when he saw it~

Although he has been to the Ptolemaic capital twice before, he was unable to enjoy the tour because he was in a hurry. This time, Liu Yifei was not in a hurry to visit King Ptolemy directly. Instead, he visited the Ptolemaic capital first.

I met with some local Ptolemaic forces that I had interacted with before.

Because of the experience of jointly fighting against the invasion of the Elf army, Liu Yifei still had some friendship with some organizations in the Ptolemaic territory. Unfortunately, the original leader of the Ptolemaic resistance army was the one who used to be the secret envoy of the Ptolemaic Kingdom.

In the early days of the war, after Ptolemy encountered the elf's extraordinary actions, the guy sent to Solna to seek peace talks had indeed left Ptolemy and gone to a safer place in the north. Otherwise, Liu Yifei would have been able to act even more this time.

Be simpler.

After talking with these local forces, large and small, Liu Yifei realized that these people also knew about the "trading of people", but no one was stupid. This matter was so important that it could even make players in their kingdom

The lord has gained a huge advantage over the lords in other places. Who would expose this matter when they are full?

However, ordinary players either cannot find the designated NPC, or they know nothing about it, so everyone is tight-lipped to the outside world, but internally it is almost an open secret...

At least those powerful player lords of the Ptolemaic Kingdom have heard the news, and secretly send people to Anaken every day to buy people.

Of course, due to the limitation of military strength, the most people nowadays can only buy 500 people a day, which gradually accumulates.

Compared with Liu Yifei's surprise, these Ptolemaic Kingdom lords were more surprised by where Liu Yifei got the news. When they heard that it was King Solna who told Liu Yifei, everyone couldn't help but be shocked and helpless. Unexpectedly, there was finally a chance.

The players kept the secret themselves, but the NPC helped them leak it...

The reason why Liu Yifei came to see you this time is very simple, that is, he hopes that if possible, we will try to spread out the surplus population evenly, even if there are ten or a hundred, he will not mind it. As for the purchase price, even if it is ten times the price, Liu Yifei will admit it.

!If the transaction is done in United Currency...then Liu Yifei, a basic population member, is also willing to pay ten Yuan United Currency!

The other player lords were stunned as soon as Liu Yifei said these words, but they also suddenly realized~

Judging from Liu Yifei's reaction, everyone guessed in a few seconds that the current upgrade condition for Plague City is probably the "territory population limit" that has not been met. This is normal~

Upgrading a territory to level six requires a territory population of 100,000, while upgrading to level 7 requires a full 300,000!

It's not long before the Plague City...it has just been upgraded to level six in less than two months. There are other territories to take care of, so it is impossible to do it in such a short time.

Zi gathered an additional 200,000 people to grab the territory.

But when everyone realized that Liu Yifei had built the entire sixth-level territory in just two months... and even hoarded all the valuable resources needed to upgrade to the seventh level, they still couldn't help but gasp!

You must know that those high-end rare resources that have a minimum level of five or six, or even those that require reaching level six or seven, are completely priceless!

NPC forces are not for takeaways, and looking for them in the wild is purely a matter of character. If you occasionally encounter one or two types, it's okay, but generally upgrading a territory requires all types of resources, and Liu Yifei actually collected them all...

...This was a bit too unbelievable, and it made others wonder for a moment whether what Liu Yifei said was true or false...

But it doesn't matter if it's true or not, at least Liu Yifei's decision to "buy someone" from everyone is obviously very firm.

It's just that although some people are willing to hold on to each other, the population is useless even if the king speaks. They don't just mobilize at will. No one dares to make a guarantee in this regard. They just say that they will try their best...

...

After a moment of waiting, news came back from each family one after another.

Through the mobilization attempts of many other lords, probably two to three thousand people were gathered together, who were willing to move to other places, no matter far or near.

But other than that, there was no harvest. What made Liu Yifei even more depressed was that these two or three thousand people had already taken away almost all the inventory of the Ptolemaic Kingdom player group in a short period of time. If he wanted to do this again

It is almost impossible to continue to absorb the population at a speed, because the player lords do not dare to mention too many such topics in the territory, otherwise it will easily cause the satisfaction of the people in the territory to drop significantly, thus causing turmoil in the territory...

.

There can be two to three thousand people at the beginning, although it is still a drop in the bucket for the current population shortage that the Plague City needs. But it is better than nothing! Liu Yifei immediately asked the rear to send people to escort and protect him, and he must be careful to send him back to the rescue.

Go to Erna Kingdom, as for himself,

Then he can only continue to ask everyone to help him inquire and see if there is anyone in his territory who can spare some money to give it to him. The conditions are as he said before. For gold coins, he will buy them at ten times the price rated by the system. United coins

If you are buying and selling for ten yuan per person, be sure that the price will not change.

At present, the Plague City is short of more than 100,000 people. If this mess can be solved immediately with more than 1 million, I'm afraid Liu Yifei will never frown, and even if the price is increased ten times, it is not non-negotiable!

However, this matter really cannot be solved with money. I asked everyone for help and thought of ways to recruit people. Liu Yifei promised to repay everyone's kindness in the future, so he turned towards the castle of King Ptolemy.

For this trip to Ptolemy, Liu Yifei came with the determination to burn everything!

As I said before, the Plague City is currently stuck at an extremely uncomfortable bottleneck. As long as it takes one step further, Liu Yifei's current preparation conditions will make him soar to the sky in an instant. From now on, no player in the world can do it.

Comparable with it ~

In order to break through this bottleneck in one go, Liu Yifei really tried every means possible. He lowered his face and almost begged everyone to give him as much as possible. [Although those people were talking and laughing at the time,

But in fact, I am still reluctant in my heart. After all, they will have to face population restrictions when upgrading in the future. Today, I will give four or five hundred to others. If I survive in the future, I will be killed by these four.

If a population of 500 is stuck, it would be a tragedy! After all, the time gained belongs to others, but the time wasted is yours. If this goes back and forth, the gap in everyone's strength will definitely become larger. Obviously no one wants to

In this situation], if it weren't for Liu Yifei's extraordinary strength and good relationship with their Ptolemaic Kingdom, I'm afraid this group of Ptolemaic die-hard players would not buy it if it had been anyone else.

As for now...

Got~

Liu Yifei's feet were like flying as he rushed to Ptolemy with all his strength. He just wanted to hear the good news from King Ptolemy.

However......

Damn it, you’re not at home???

When Liu Yifei rushed to the castle of the Ptolemaic capital and tried to report for an audience, the royal guard actually told Liu Yifei directly, "The king is not here, and we will report to you tomorrow!"

Damn~

Looking at that nostrils turned upward, how dare you look down on others?

Liu Yifei had no choice but to reveal his identity as "Lord of the Holy City" and "Envoy of the Kingdom of Solna" and let the guard go in to find someone to inform him... Anyway, he had to find someone who could speak his mind and take charge.

That’s it!

However, this uproar actually caused one of King Ptolemy's closest ministers to leave the king's castle.

But what the other party meant was just as the guard said. The king had something to do and was not here for the time being. He would not be back until at least the evening, and it was hard to say whether he would be back today. Liu Yifei could come back tomorrow or in the evening if something really happened.

, and they will also leave a message for Liu Yifei, but Liu Yifei must first explain what he is looking for to see His Majesty the King.
To be continued...
