Chapter 438 Shocking News

After reading the battle power list, Lin You had a basic understanding of the strength of other ninth-level lords.

Especially those who were ranked at the top, they were probably old monsters who had lived for dozens or hundreds of years.

After such a long time, the accumulation of resources was very terrifying.

His biggest source of strength now was the fragments of the divine body, the royal family, and the ability to mutate.

This was also the reason why he could surpass other lords.

But those ninth-level old monsters were different.

After a long time, they must have obtained many powerful means to improve their strength.

Even if they could not compare with the ability to mutate and the royal family, they would not be much worse.

So for these old monsters, his biggest advantage was still the fragments of the divine body.

Because these old monsters were unlikely to have it, otherwise they would have been promoted to the tenth level long ago.

Thinking of this.

Lin You continued to slide the list and continued to check the rankings above.

It was not until more than 300 that he finally saw the first person from the Great Wilderness Principality appear.

No. 347: Wei Heng [Great Wilderness Principality] 32200

This Wei Heng should be the strongest ninth-level person in the Great Wilderness Principality.

Being ranked over 300th in the entire continent is enough to show his strength.

Lin You silently memorized the name and slid down the ranking again.

Then he found that the name information of a small number of people was hidden, and only the country information and combat power value were displayed.

"Is there a hidden function?"

Lin You looked puzzled.

After searching carefully, he found a hidden option at the bottom of the list interface.

When he touched it lightly with his finger, a prompt suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Do you want to hide your name? ]

[Once hidden, others will not be able to view your name information, and you can unhide it at any time. ]

What a great function!

I didn't expect that this list would be so user-friendly that you can hide your name freely.

In this way, you don't have to worry about your specific strength being exposed.

"Hide!"

Without hesitation, Lin You directly chose to hide.

The next second.

His name disappeared from the list, leaving only the words "Great Wilderness Principality" and combat power information on it.

It's really convenient.

After looking for a while and finding nothing missing, he nodded with satisfaction, then closed the interface and went to rest in the tree house.

The surroundings of the territory gradually fell into silence

No words were spoken all night.

The next morning, Lin You, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by a busy sound.

After Huangsha City was upgraded to the ninth level, the entire city became more lively inside and outside.

Many people who received the news came by airship, and the people of Huangsha City also began to speed up construction and planned the new land under the leadership of Xue Changgui.

The first thing Lin You did when he woke up was to open the territory interface and take a look.

After a day, the working capital increased by more than one million.

Finally, there was no embarrassing situation of having no money to pay wages.

However, his territory had just been upgraded, and it was the critical time for outward development and expansion, and this money was not enough to spend.

Moreover, he still had 70 or 80 vacant positions for arms, and no magic power to recruit arms.

He had to find a way to make money.

But the problem was.

Now he couldn't go to the monster plane or the border battlefield, and he had already sold all the treasures that could be sold.

It was very embarrassing.

He got up and washed up, then walked down the tree house and came to the tower of arms.

Yesterday, because there were too many things to do, he forgot to research the arms.

He opened the building interface and took a look. The materials required for the upgrade were already gathered. Without hesitation, he chose to upgrade directly.

Swish!

The light flashed, and various materials gathered quickly.

The tower of arms, which originally had only eight floors, was raised to nine floors in a blink of an eye.

[Building name: Tower of Arms]

[Building level: Ninth level]

[Building introduction: You can research the advanced form of existing arms to make them recruitable, which requires magic energy. The level of the arms cannot exceed the building level. ]

[Research speed: 30 days]

[Research quantity: 0/2]

[Upgrade requirements: 50,000 wood, 50,000 stone, 25,000 iron ore, 25,000 copper ore, 1 million mana, 9th-level territory essence x1]

Huh?

The number of research has become two?

Looking at the interface changes after the upgrade, Lin You couldn't help but feel happy.

In this way, he can research two arms at a time, which is much more efficient than before.

He immediately opened the research interface and found the research option of plant dragon.

[Researching 9th-level ordinary arms requires 2.5 million mana, are you sure? ]

It's so expensive

It happened to be the poorest time.

Lin You glanced at the 2.7 million mana left in his pocket after yesterday's mutation, gritted his teeth, and chose to confirm.

As for the remaining research position, he can only wait until he has more money.

"Lord, I have something to see you."

At this time, Xu Zhong's voice suddenly sounded outside the territory.

Lin You closed the interface, looked outside, and asked Qingteng to make way for them.

After a while.

Xu Zhong, with an excited face, hurriedly appeared with two followers.

"Greetings, Lord."

The three bowed respectfully to Lin You.

"No need to bow, what's the matter?" Lin You asked.

"My Lord, just now there was news from the flying dock that the king's envoy came to discuss the opening of a trade route with us."

"The king's envoy?"

Lin You was slightly surprised.

The king actually wants to open a trade route here?

This is incredible.

If the negotiation is successful, Huangsha City will be able to be connected to the principal capital, which is definitely great news for him.

"Where is the envoy now?" Lin You asked quickly.

"Already in the reception hall."

"Okay, you guys go over there first, I'll be there soon."

After saying that, Lin You turned back to the tree house and put on the lord's clothes made for him by his previous subjects. After a brief tidying up, he directly mounted the Demon Emperor Dragon and rushed to Huangsha City with Lingxi.

Soon, he came to the sky above the reception hall in the center of the city, turned over and fell to the ground.

"The lord is here!"

Wei Gang, who was guarding outside the hall, hurriedly came up with his men.

Lin You raised his hand to signal to them, then quickly walked into the reception hall and saw the king's envoy.

Surprisingly, it was the ninth-level lord who had exchanged the original fruit for him, Shen Hui.

"Brother Lin You, we meet again. Didn't I disturb you?"

Shen Hui, who was standing in the center of the hall, turned around and looked at Lin You with a smile. He looked much kinder than before, and he even called him brother.

At this time, Lin You was no longer what he used to be, and he had become a ninth-level lord like him.

Naturally, we can no longer be as negligent as before.

Feeling his change, Lin You smiled slightly: "Brother, you can come, it's not too late for me to welcome you, please sit down."

With that said, the two of them came to sit on the side.

After the servants brought the tea, Shen Hui took the lead and said: "The last time we met was half a month ago, right? I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, I would rise to the ninth level. I will offer you tea instead of wine." One cup, congratulations on your promotion.”

"Brother Shen, you're welcome. It's my turn to respect you."

Lin You smiled and raised the tea cup in his hand.

He did not dare to look down upon this Shen Hui.

After all, he is the king's right-hand man, and no matter his status, other lords cannot compare with him.

And Lin You also had the impression that Shen Hui's combat power was not low, and he was considered one of the stronger ones among the ninth-level old lords.

And just looking at his appearance, he is at least fifty or sixty years old.

"Presumably Brother Lin You already knows the purpose of my visit this time, right?"

After serving tea, Shen Hui put down his tea cup and got straight to the point.

"The king really plans to open a trade route between the royal capital and Huangsha City?" Lin You couldn't help but ask.

"That's natural." Shen Hui nodded, "I just received the order from the king himself and came to discuss with you, brother. I wonder what you want, brother?"

"Of course there's no problem with me."

nonsense.

That is the royal capital.

The largest and most prosperous city in the entire principality is also the center of the entire principality.

As long as trade routes can be opened, his Huangsha City will definitely take off quickly and catch up with the old lord's territory in a short time.

"Since I don't have any objections, I won't talk nonsense anymore. When the time comes, I will ask someone to come over to discuss the details. Please be patient with me."

"Of course." Lin You nodded lightly.

Just leave this kind of thing to the people below, there is no need to waste time on it.

And besides opening the trade route, Lin You also has another very important thing.

So after pondering, he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Shen, you are an old man next to the king. You should know a lot of news. There is one thing I want to ask about."

"You want to ask about the monster plane and the border battlefield, right?"

Shen Hui's eyes were so vicious that he could see Lin You's thoughts at a glance.

Lin You was not surprised by this. After all, this matter has become a big deal now, and many people are looking for information.

The reason why I asked Shen Hui was because he was the king's right-hand man and might know something.

as expected.

Facing his inquiry, the smile on Shen Hui's face gradually faded and became serious.

"This matter should not be spread casually." His voice was very low and his eyes were solemn. "But since it is my brother who asked about it, I will reveal it a little bit. I hope you will not spread it casually."

"Okay!" Lin You nodded seriously.

Then Shen Hui took a deep breath and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Actually, I just heard what others said. Emperor Shengyao seems to have been seriously injured!"

"Are you sure!?" Lin You took a breath and leaned back slightly.

Emperor Shengyao was seriously injured?

How can this be!

"It shouldn't be wrong, and I also heard that the situation with other great emperors is not good either. They all seem to have been injured to varying degrees."

"this"

Lin You opened his mouth, but no words came out.

My heart was even more shocked to the extreme.

With Shen Hui's qualifications, the news network is absolutely terrifying.

In other words, what he mentioned is probably true!

So what happened.

To actually injure so many great emperors?

"Did you find out what the reason was?" Lin You asked in a low voice.

"No." Shen Hui shook his head, "The higher-ups probably don't want to cause everyone to panic, so they have blocked all news. All we can do is wait."

"so."

Lin You murmured to himself, and his tense mood gradually relaxed.

Since he could still suppress the news, it probably hadn't reached an irreversible point yet, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

And just like Shen Hui said.

All they can do now is wait.
