I'm actually an alchemist

Chapter 241 Stormwind City

Three years later, Stormwind

In the distance are towering snow-capped mountains, and under the mountains are dense larch forests.

A glacial river runs down from the mountain, passes through the forest, flows into the vast plain below the mountain, and flows towards the misty distance.

Pieces of rice fields, like square jigsaw puzzles, dot the plains.

And on the plain, a majestic city surrounded by green water looks extraordinarily majestic amidst the mountains and water.

This is a city that the people of Dazhou have never seen before. It is built of huge white stones. The city is as high as [-] meters and occupies a huge area.There is a circular hole in the wall, which is the shooting port.

The entire city has a unique shape and looks extremely strong.

On the contrary, some merchants from the Saint Laurent Empire who came here to do business couldn't help sighing after seeing this city: I didn't expect to see the architectural style of the Guangming Empire in the West in the East.

The city is surrounded by a wide moat.

Four wide and strong stone bridges connect the river and the four city gates.

On the stone bridge, there were crowds of people, and the noise of carriages and horses.

Also a bustling city.

"Girl, there is Stormwind City!"

On the wide road, a carriage was heading towards Stormwind City.

The carriage was surrounded by eight heavily armed warriors guarding it.

On the carriage, a middle-aged woman pointed to the majestic city in the distance and said with a smile.

The curtains are lifted.

Showing a pretty face with a beautiful face.

The woman looked at Stormwind City obsessively, and said longingly: "Wow, so beautiful!"

"It's beautiful!"

The middle-aged woman said: "Not only is it beautiful, there are many delicious and fun things in Stormwind City!!"

"I've heard about it a long time ago!"

The woman in the carriage said excitedly: "I heard that Stormwind City is the most prosperous city in a thousand miles. It gathers all kinds of delicacies from the mainland, as well as silk from the Great Zhou, war horses from the barbarians, and handicrafts from the Spirit Race. The people of the Spirit Race, both men and women are extremely handsome, Aunt Mei, have you ever seen a man or woman from the Spirit Race?"

……

Above the city wall, the ground is flat.

The soldiers held muskets and stood on the battlements, staring indifferently at the crowds entering and leaving the city.

Firearms, of course, are real firearms.

It was designed and made by the lord himself two years ago.

Once launched, it was sought after by soldiers.

The musket is very powerful, within a hundred steps, it can break through six armors.Kilometers away, it still has lethality.

In the past two years, with the power of muskets, Stormwind City has completely wiped out hundreds of bandit dens, large and small, and realized the long-lost peace and tranquility in the Great Wasteland where Stormwind City is located.

Except, of course, muskets.

There are also waterwheels under the city, as well as mills, workshops, etc. designed and built in the city by means of waterwheels to transmit power.The entire Stormwind City can be said to have been built by the lord alone.

Today, in the vast wasteland of thousands of miles, there are legends about the lord.

At this time, the legendary lord was sitting on the city wall with the seat of God, surrounded by a small stove, happily eating boiled mutton.

In a steaming copper hot pot, lamb slices, meatballs, and cabbage are rolled in boiling water.

Yang Qing and Shen Zuo were beaming with joy and sweating profusely.

God Zuo picked up a cup and took a sip of the strong wine in the cup.

After drinking the hot wine, a hot feeling spread from the mouth to the stomach.

"Good wine!"

Shen Zuo laughed and praised: "You also made this wine?"

"Of course!"

Yang Qing picked up the cup and touched the seat of God, drank the drink in the cup and said: "Legendary lord, of course you must be legendary!"

All in all, in the past three years, Yang Qing has hardly stopped for a moment.

City construction, planning, recruiting troops, fiscal revenue, construction of the Witch Temple, and welcoming and seeing off from various sources.

For almost everything, he had to come forward.

Now, it's finally on the right track.

Now, according to the latest statistics, there are 13 people in Stormwind City, and the races are very complicated.There are barbarians, Zhou people, Wu people, and even people from the Saint Laurent Empire on the other side of the snow mountain.Of course, the most people are from Dazhou.

Fiscal revenue has also entered the regular stage, and the revenue in the first half of this year has achieved a balance of payments.All this is due to Zhu Gui.In order to commend his contributions, Yang Qing directly appointed Zhu Gui as the chief financial officer of Stormwind City.

Zhu Gui, who was too busy to touch the ground, let out a long sigh: "Actually, I just want to be a quiet and handsome man!"

In addition, the military strength of Stormwind City has been strengthened unprecedentedly.

Today, Yang Qing has three teams under his command.

Among them are the elite troops of more than 300 people formed by the old team, the newly recruited city defense troops of more than 3000 people, and the caravan of more than 4000 people and their guards in charge of the old man Liu.

The elite troops are composed of sharp-blade tribe and Wu tribe warriors, led by A Qiang and Cheng Dazhuang respectively, and they directly obey the lord Yang Qing.

The soldiers of the city defense army are mainly from the residents of Stormwind City, and Yang Qing's brother-in-law is mainly in charge.And the caravan of more than 4000 people in charge of Old Man Liu is mainly responsible for business and trade exchanges with the major forces in the surrounding area.

Youdao means that professional people do professional things. These two teams are led by Marshal Lin Qiu, the former God of War of the Great Zhou Dynasty.In this way, apart from the three hundred super elites led by Yang Qing himself, Lin Qiu became the nominally highest military officer in Stormwind City.

But the administrative part is more troublesome, because of the lack of people, Yang Qing had to let Zhu Gui take care of it first.

Zhu Gui, who was so busy that he was about to fly off, wiped his sweat twice: "It's too tiring to be a handsome man, I just want to be a quiet man!"

However, despite being busy, Zhu Gui sometimes looks at this bustling Stormwind City, and feels a sense of accomplishment that he has never had before.

The once small shopkeeper of Yunzhong City has now become the big shopkeeper in charge of the first city in the west.

Life went up and down so fast, he felt like he was going to float away!
He was awarded the position of Xiyiou by Yang Qing.

Zhu Gui didn't know what Xi Yiou was, but he knew that he was very busy.

Find him for everything.

He has to shut everything down.

It's as small as opening a blacksmith shop, reaching a certain chamber of commerce to move in, and then the construction of the Witch God Temple.

Fortunately, last year, Yang Qing added more than 20 subordinates to him.

Otherwise, Zhu Gui would be exhausted!

As for the seat of God...

Ever since Stormwind City was built, the old man has started a shameful and depraved life.

The old man learned to smoke, drink, and perm his head.

His white hair was permed into big curls, and he looked like a handsome uncle.

The old man drank red wine every day, smoked cigars, sat next to the swimming pool in his nightgown, and then began to study witchcraft with sunglasses on.If there are a few African girls playing in the swimming pool, it will be a typical African drug lord.

However, the old man did not research in vain.

Last year, the seat of God successfully broke through the bottleneck of space witchcraft and created the world's first space ring.

Although this ring is a bit big, it is as high as a three-story building.

But that small step turned out to be a giant leap in the history of witchcraft.

Now, the seat of God has shrunk it down to the size of a normal ring.

For example, now, God seat wears two golden rings on his hands.

When Shen Zuo was eating hot pot with chopsticks, the two rings shone brightly, which was dazzling.

"vanity!"

Yang Qing touched the five rings on his left hand and the big gold chain around his neck, despising the god seat's invisible display of wealth.

In addition, Shen Zuo also wrote a brilliant work of fire witchcraft with more than 300 million words. Yang Qing gave it a name: Actually, I am an alchemist.

In the end, he was ruthlessly rejected by the seat of God, and was ridiculed all over his face.

The seat of the gods joked that Yang Qing was uneducated, what is the name, it might as well be that I am actually a eggless master.

Yang Qing said, if half of your writing is lost, then it is reasonable to call it a eunuch, and it is only reasonable to call it a eggless master.

The god rolled his eyes angrily, and didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Later, God Zuo himself named the work.

Therefore, this masterpiece, which represents the highest academic achievement of witchcraft in the world today, has a famous name: How Steel Was Tempered.

……

On the city wall, the hot pot is fragrant.

Yang Qing took a chopstick of mutton and ate it slowly with peanut butter.

Afterwards, he leaned back on the chair, took a sip of the liquor and said, "Did you read yesterday's invitation?"

Yesterday, both Yang Qing and Shen Zuo received invitation letters from the Chang'an Witch Temple.

Invite him and the seat of God to Chang'an to participate in the five-yearly Wushen Ceremony.

The Witch God Ceremony is a festival established by the Prophet when the Great Zhou was founded.It is intended to spread the light of the witch god and the teachings of the witch temple.Of course, there are also reasons for taking this opportunity to increase the sense of belonging of the wizards and establish the transcendent status of the wizard temple.

However, this time the Witch God Ceremony is different from the previous ones.

In recent years, the struggle between the monarchy and theocracy has become clear, and the theocracy retreated again and again under the attack of the imperial court.The Temple of the Witch God has long lost its glory in the past. Apart from the Pope and some elders sitting in the Temple of the Witch God, there are almost no people in it.

"The temple has not been very good in the past two years, and the Pope's influence is declining!" God Zuo suddenly felt that the hot pot was not so delicious.

After all, he was also from the temple, and now seeing the decline of the temple, he felt regretful and at the same time felt helpless: "As it goes on, it is only a matter of time before the divine power is swallowed up by the monarchy! In this grand ceremony, the Pope probably hopes to take this opportunity to reshape the witches. The status of the temple, but I think it is also hanging!!"

After finishing speaking, Shenzuo took a sip of wine, sighed softly, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"Nowadays wizards only have money in their eyes, how can they still remember that they are priests!" Yang Qing shook his head and said, "As a priest, you can spread the glory of witch gods, appease the confused hearts of believers, and bring good hope to the people of the world. It should be done. But look, what these people are doing now. The Wushen Temple is fighting to the death for a piece of land. How can they care about the life and death of the people!"

"Then what do you mean? To go or not to go?"

God seat asked.

"go!"

Yang Qing said: "Three years ago, because of the Zijinhua Chamber of Commerce, I had a very unpleasant relationship with the imperial court. If the Pope hadn't helped me suppress the eldest princess' counterattack, I guess Stormwind City wouldn't be as prosperous as it is today. I have to pay back this favor!"

　Thank you for your time, everyone.Thanks to the boss of the braised crab and the two masters who want a sign-in system for the 500 rewards, and thanks to the book friend 161122122536481 for the reward!
