Chapter 164
This is really involved!
Let's not mention how big this world is, just talk about Lin City and the other eight places, all of which are the same. They are all artificially flattened directly and then built with the Great Divine Ability of moving mountains and suppressing seas the highlands.
Standing only in this novice village, Yang Lin simply doesn't take these places seriously, but he wants to use the Great Divine Ability of moving mountains and suppressing seas to level the hills and build high ground. Yang Lin I can't even think about it now.
How much level does this take to build, and what kind of Divine Ability does it take to do this? This kind of thing is no less than Myths and Legends!
At the same time, this also reminded Yang Lin of the seven ancestors enshrined in the auditorium. What is their rank?
Their specific strength is unknown, but Dong Juncai said that they are omnipotent. Now ask Lin Yulong, and his answer is still the same.
"Yang Lin, Lin City and eight other places add up to this, and there are actually many, many more in this world in a small town like ours!"
"This I also guessed it, but why does this small circle have to fight each other and make the other party acknowledge allegiance?"
Lin Yulong sighed: "It may be to eliminate the inferior and evolve the relationship of the strong. When there is competition, there is pressure, when there is pressure, there is progress, and when there is progress, potential can be stimulated, so that good talents can emerge!"
After a few words, Lin Yulong was silent for a few seconds and continued: "I said The words are a bit vague, but you must know that this cruel world is not for the weak in the first place. If you don't even have the most basic combat capabilities, you can't even do the simple problem of survival. Just like the current environment, if you want to survive You must hunt the polluted beasts. And that's not all, at the same time, you must fight against other places within a limited range. Once Lin City is weak, you will be enslaved by other cities according to the agreement. At that time, the son of Lin City The people will be even more overwhelmed."
Yang Lin frowned, "How do you say this slavery?"
"The rules have always been set, and have been for thousands of years. In this way, it starts from the moment when the seven ancestors are enshrined. If you ask me why it is so, I can only answer that you don't know, but the rules are the rules. If you don't follow them, all nine places will be destroyed. Disaster. Every ten years, there is a grand competition. At that time, all Martial Masters in the city will basically participate in the battle. Once the battle is lost, then the entire Lin City will increase taxes from top to bottom for ten years, and pay the opposing city Tribute. This is definitely not a worse thing for the city, which is already difficult to survive.”
Yang Lin thought about it, the overall living standard in Lin City is really bad, East, South, West, North There are slums in all four regions. There is no way, without the strength to hunt and kill the polluting beasts, it is impossible to get rich, and you can only think of other ways to make a living. If you have a good mind, you can go into business, but if your strength is not good, what should you do if your mind is not good?
This is no better than going to the world. If you work in a factory or something, you will not starve to death no matter what. Now this place, a small land, has all kinds of poor living conditions, and I will give you a tax or something. It’s easy to talk about the rich, but there is basically no way for the poor to survive.
I am a pervert. According to my own history, I have always downplayed the hardships of the actual conditions. And the real situation is, if you don't have the strength, don't talk about being in the city, it's very difficult to live.
Aside from these, Yang Lin has some other questions.
"Uncle Lin, in fact, I have a few serious questions to ask you now."
"You said."
"Not every three years Should higher-level places send students to cultivate talents? Since there is a life-and-death grand competition once every ten years, those students who are sent out..."
"I know what you want to ask, the question is like this. No matter how high-achieving foreign students are, it is impossible for them to come back to participate in the war, but they can provide resource assistance to their hometowns. To be honest, in such a remote and remote place, if you really want to lose the war, you will be taxed. How many people do you think will be killed? Starved to death. At this time, we must rely on the connection between the City Lord's mansion and the outside world, and seek various help. This is the time when the City Lord's mansion will be tested the most, so I tell you, the position of the City Lord is really not simple. 50,000 people's life is the job!"
Yang Lin blushed with shame, "Uncle Lin, it's really not easy for you, are those people outside who can't come back to fight because of the rules?"
"Yes, the battles in these nine places are more similar to a kind of competition. Once out of this circle, you can only provide assistance and not personally intervene. But to be honest, the world outside is even more cruel, don't let it go. Look at the scenery and scenery of the children who were sent out, but how many of them are really successful? And this person, once he is rich and rich, it is easy to forget his origins, and one or two out of ten are thinking about his hometown. It is not bad. "
Although Lin Yulong's words may sound annoying, it is very realistic. Even if it is the first world, there are countless people who go out and go out, how many people have really achieved success? How many people still miss their hometown in the end? even more how, in such a cruel world to survive!
"Okay, I already understand the matter, and I understand what you mean, Uncle Lin, you are planning to let me participate in the war, right?"
"Yes, your strength Tyranny, if you take action, the ten-year battle of Lin City will be stable at this time. I don’t seek to overwhelm other cities, but at least ensure that the 50,000 people in this city live peacefully.”
Yang Lin lightly said with a smile: "You are my father-in-law now, what is this, even if I don't mention the City Lord's mansion, since I live in this place, I still need to ensure the basic life of 50,000 people. I did it."
"Okay, if you have this awareness, it means that I am not wrong! Yang Lin, I will entrust you with the full power of the ten-year battle at this time!"
Yang Lin nods, "It's a small matter, then let's talk about the rules in detail, at least I need to understand what kind of fighting method it is."
After listening to Lin Yulong, Yang Lin did to the heart.
Nine places and nine cities, there will be a brutal grand competition every ten years, when all Martial Masters will be the toughest forces. And this year was the tenth year, so Yang Lin really had to rush, and a month later was the date of the war.
During this time, the nine City Lords will come together and sign their respective counterparts. Because there are nine places, there will be one place that will pass through ten years in peace. In the other eight places, there are mules and horses, so they should take a good walk. Of course, if you decide on your opponent and you surrender voluntarily, you can avoid fighting, but taxes after surrender are definitely indispensable.
At this point, Yang Lin has a question, "Uncle Lin, who decided this lottery? Do you have to do this?"
"This is not, originally, every ten In the grand competition of 2019, as long as you have the strength, you can challenge any city, but it is too cruel. Who can do that for thousands of years. So this is just a compromise, At least it seems feasible now."
"I understand, but I have a new proposal, Uncle Lin, for the development of our Lin City, let's play a big game this time. "
Lin Yulong was startled, "How big?"
"Lin City challenges all cities, and the lottery is exempted. When the time comes to me one After another picks them up, don't worry, I would not kill the ones who lost hatred and enmity, I only need them to admit defeat. As for the tax, the tax that was lost in the war, each city only charged them 20%, so It will not cause any burden to them. And we can provide some subsidies to the poor in Lin City to improve their lives, so why not do it!”
