Chapter 1219 Elemental Plane
Talia has never met Melinthra before, and the reason for her attitude is because she knows that the upper area of the magic tower is a veritable "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" - not only are there real dragons, but there are also some people who have never heard of it. A powerful mage exists.
At present, "strength" is not only determined by "combat strength", but also linked to a person's academic level. Talia spends all day in the library or listening to lectures, of course she knows those guys who are so loud and come up with various amazing theories Ninety-nine percent are busy upstairs all day.
This magic tower, in a sense, is the place with the highest average IQ and force value in the world. Any so-called "genius" will appear "glorious" when it comes here-many of the "shocking talents" who were in a certain earldom before "Beautiful" mages, after entering the magic tower, they all tucked their tails as researchers honestly, and some of them even chose to quit because they couldn't stand the contrast.
At the extreme point, there are those who commit suicide after being frustrated...
In this environment, the progress is really fast, and the pressure is really great. When Talia stood in front of the familiar door, she took several deep breaths before pushing the door open, and then saluted respectfully: "Lord Krups, Elder Anstey, Elder Muratic, Houdini Teacher, hello..."
On the other side, Melinsera stood in front of a wooden door.
The waiter in front of the door saluted and entered the room to make an announcement. After a few seconds, he came out to salute: "Master Melinsera, please come in. The Prime Minister has just concluded a meeting."
Stepping in, after walking along the front hall to the conference hall, Melinsella saw Rody leaning on the armchair, but the latter was not idle, but was talking with a communication circle, his tone was very You're welcome:
"The tax system is very important! It's about the fate of the country, it's not about how much money you have! I didn't ask you to go with them and fool me... The tax department will have special force to supervise and enforce it in the future. Do you understand what it means? It's as important a thing as war."
It was obvious that they were sprayed over there, and after saying a few submissive words, Rody said again: "Remember, I'm targeting things, not people, but if you can't do things well, then I will replace people immediately."
"But, Mr. Prime Minister...they..."
"Now is the time of war."
"I, I understand, Prime Minister."
Before he could say anything later, Rody turned off the communication circle. He breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to greet him tiredly: "I'm sorry, something happened suddenly."
"It's okay, knowing that you are the busiest person in the world right now."
Melinsera's words are not ironic,
Rather, I have experienced it—not in the cabinet, but just reading the decrees discussed and issued in the "Current Politics Reference" newspaper every day, and I can understand that the cabinet and the prime minister may not be idle for a moment.
But she was a little curious why Roddy was so angry: "The tax won't come up?"
"There is no problem with food tax, but now I am reforming the tax system and need to start to establish a 'consumption tax' system, which is much more difficult than simply collecting taxes." Luo Di shook his head: "The national economy is in a period of rapid development. If the tax system does not Change, most of the money can only enrich the pockets of some people, and in the end it can only lead to an endless loop.”
This is also a historical lesson: the Ming Dynasty in Luo Di's impression was defeated by the "tax system" - a big empire with a trade surplus that was the first on the earth at that time, but the royal family failed because of "not being in harmony with the people". "For profit" and other reasons, basically did not collect commercial taxes, and finally the money went into the pockets of the interest class, and the common people and the emperor were poor...
Not to mention other factors such as the Little Ice Age or the plague, if this tax system is maintained, it will collapse sooner or later.
Of course, Roddy can't repeat the same mistakes, but restructuring is easier said than done. It has never been easy to attack vested interests, and thanks to the power system of this world is not as low as that of the earth, otherwise the city of Houllier would have been destroyed by now. The princes surrounded.
Melinsella listened to his explanation, but did not understand the importance of the "tax system" to the country. But of course she didn't come here to chat, so she changed the subject and said, "I was originally planned to open two portals. Now that the first one has been opened, why is the second one suddenly cancelled?"
"Because it is no longer necessary, the enemy has already started to attack on its own initiative, so we don't need to create any illusions."
Rody's eyes stayed above her head for a moment, and he raised his eyebrows: "Could it be possible that studying the portal will allow you to improve your strength quickly? It's only been a few months, and your progress is faster than two years in Laximan."
This is naturally because he saw that Merlinsera's level has been raised to advanced level 51...according to his impression of the player's upgrade speed, Merlinsera's soaring speed is simply unimaginable.
When the latter heard this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up—she had actually been wondering if Rody would realize this, and now hearing the other party bring it up, she obviously thought that this guy still cared about her, but Merlinsera But suppressing his expression, he shrugged and said, "Really? I don't feel anything."
She said so, but she deliberately did not cover up the fluctuations emitted by her body. Not to mention Roddy, ordinary people can feel an indescribable "hot" feeling standing here, because there is a huge amount of energy in her body stored in her body. The fire element of the "Elemental Plane" is far more powerful and powerful than ordinary mages of the same level, and even stronger than most magisters.
"Is it because of the construction of the portal?"
Rody was really curious. He once talked with Merlinsera about the origin of the "Magic Crystal"—creatures on the Elemental Plane do not have magic crystals, but they exude fluctuations that far exceed those of Warcraft of the same level from beginning to end. This may be a breakthrough. Another path to the "level 60" barrier.
"There is a part of the reason, and the main reason is... After getting in touch with more elemental creatures, through dissection and research, I discovered some tricks for high-level creatures to store energy in the body, and thus I have mastered some new methods."
But at this point, she shook her head: "But this road seems to have come to an end, because I dare not provoke the elemental lords, so I have no way of knowing how they broke through that barrier."
"Haven't you observed it?"
"Watch the fart!" Merlinsera scolded with a smile: "Why don't you open the portal to observe Kazwila? You can also see from the elemental density that the elemental plane is a 'high-energy' plane. That world The 'lord' here is much more powerful than the dragon lord here, don't just take a look, the door I opened last time seems to have been noticed by the other party, just the breath swept over, and the portal collapsed by itself."
Rody also realized that he had been discussing a lot about the cabinet recently, and he had become unfamiliar with the "planes". He touched his nose and quickly admitted his mistake: "I thought the creatures on the elemental plane were more gentle. , after all, the first thing I remembered just now was the earth elemental lizard—but... is the elemental lord very hostile to you?"
