Chapter 429: Shaken Position

As soon as this was said.

Johnson frowned and confirmed suspiciously:

"The estimated scale is several hundred thousand people?"

"Are you serious?"

Outsiders don't understand what a population of several hundred thousand means.

Professional architects like them do.

In the entire Reyak Kingdom, only the capital Starosh can reach a population of millions.

The population of several other large cities in the coastal plains in the western part of the kingdom is close to one million, and it is difficult to break through the threshold of one million.

Because this thing is not simply to enclose a piece of land and stuff people into it to become a big city.

Let's not talk about anything else.

Just the most basic things.

How to ensure sufficient water and food supply?

The former is easy to say, large cities are basically built along rivers or through rivers, and the problem of using rivers to ensure water sources.

Food is different!

Although there are divine arts and magic in planting, transportation, storage, etc., each step means an increase in cost.

If the price of food is so high that no one can afford it, the city will soon decline.

Not to mention the series of economic, social and security problems brought about by the development of the city.

Most of the ordinary citizens living in the city are merchants and craftsmen. How do they make money to ensure their own source of income?

Security issues are even more troublesome.

The larger the city, the more difficult it is to manage.

If there is no stable order, the mixed environment is the favorite of those crazy cultists.

They will always hold an underground altar blood sacrifice for you, or spread some doomsday doctrines in secret.

There is only one big city in Ceylon, Ceylon City, surrounded by small towns and villages, which is also the result of "natural evolution" in a sense.

The conditions in this area could only afford the existence of one city in the past.

There are no extra conditions to build a new city.

Usually.

The establishment of a new city is accompanied by the king's enthronement.

The earldom, or even the more noble noble enfeoffment, has the opportunity to give birth to a new city.

The feudal nobles are equivalent to taking on the responsibility of "opening up the wasteland".

If you want to make a piece of land with governance power really prosperous, it depends on the nobles' own efforts.

To put it bluntly.

It was equivalent to a fair deal between the nobles who accepted the title and the king.

The nobles worked hard for the king, and the reward was the power to govern the territory.

...

That's why Johnson doubted Reina's statement.

He hadn't received any news about the new nobles who were going to be enfeoffed near Ceylon.

Reina smiled.

"Of course we are serious."

"You may not know what is happening in Ceylon."

"We represent the Church of Knowledge."

Hearing this identity, Johnson took a breath.

Heretic.

As if to dispel Johnson's concerns, Reina continued:

"We are solving the Eternal Night Disaster that the Glorious God Church has not solved."

"We can do what the Glorious God Church cannot do."

"The Eternal Night Disaster will end soon!"

"We have already made a plan for rebuilding our homes after this disaster."

"Build a new city based on Chim Town."

"There are enough resources and sufficient manpower. In fact, tens of thousands of people have gathered in Chim Town and are waiting for us to solve the Eternal Night Disaster in a safe place."

"We have even prepared the deposit."

As she said this, Reina flipped her hand and took out two gold coins and two pieces of paper from her bag.

Johnson took the piece of paper and asked in confusion: "What is this?"

The paper was outlined with delicate patterns, and there was a word "100" in the upper middle position.

Lena explained: "Destiny points."

"This is the currency that can be circulated in the Church of Knowledge and the future new city of Chim Town. 100 Destiny points can be exchanged for about 1 gold coin at present."

Seeing the real gold coins, Johnson's doubt and nervousness faded a lot.

If the value of destiny points is true, the other party is equivalent to taking out 4 gold coins as a deposit at one time!

This is a huge commission for him!

The deposit alone can make the whole family worry-free for more than a year in the future.

"What do you plan to entrust me to do?"

If I can get the subsequent balance, it won't be too much to open a business and make a living for three years!

Rena smiled and said, "Design the building according to the requirements and use the magic on site to help build it."

"According to our rules, Mr. Wayne will be responsible for reviewing the orders applied by the architects."

"The corresponding orders applied for are issued, which is deemed to have accepted the commission, and the corresponding deposit can be taken immediately."

"After completing the construction task, the balance will be paid immediately."

"By the way, we have prepared 500 gold coins and corresponding destiny points for the deposit in advance."

"As long as the architect has enough ability, how much he can earn is his ability."

After listening to Rena's description, Johnson secretly calculated in his heart.

The gold coins paid to the architects will not be fake!

He is not a heretic, he just accepted the other party's commission.

In terms of legal theory, there will be no problem.

The risks he has to take are those that are beyond legal theory, those invisible issues.

For example, in terms of position.

Johnson has to admit that his position is wavering.

Because the construction situation in Ceylon City has indeed been somewhat bad in recent years.

The number of commissions decreased and the market was sluggish, and his income also decreased significantly. When he was unlucky, he even had to borrow some money to support his family's expenses, and his life was tight.

Now there is an opportunity for him to make a lot of money.

It was really hard for him to refuse.

Moreover - if the other party is really like what they described, they can also solve the disaster that the Glow God Religion cannot solve.

By that time, the Glow God Sect may not be able to forcefully violate the people's will and drive away the heroes who solve the disaster.

…

As if to confirm what Rena said.

Johnson was still struggling.

It's bright outside!

same point in time.

On the other side of Ceylon City, the main force of believers led by Peter got the "Illusion Core" gem, and the eternal night was ended.

Johnson, who rushed to the window to confirm the situation, was stunned by this scene!

"You did this?!"
