The queen sent Yicheng to the train station, and Olika looked at the distance, looking at the winding railway and the steam locomotive, feeling very melancholy.

"You said, what will the future of Blackstone Castle be like?" Her Majesty the Queen also knew in her heart, after her group of mages arrived in New Sun City.

Even if Blackstone Castle is a vassal of New Sun City in a certain sense, whether it is economy or manpower, New Sun City's influence on Black Rock Castle is huge.

Moreover, Xinri City is expanding rapidly, absorbing a large amount of fresh blood every day. Even people like myself who have lived for thousands of years can't understand why Xinri City is rising so fast.

Sooner or later, Blackstone Fortress will not be able to keep up with New Sun City. By that time, with Blackstone Fortress' own strength, I am afraid that it will definitely be lonely.

"The future is unpredictable, but if you want to be better, you must seize the opportunities in front of you, so that you can follow the trend of the times and not be eliminated."

When the train arrived, Yi Cheng boarded the train and yelled loudly at Orika.

"Seize the opportunity and follow the trend?" the Queen murmured.

It was already evening when we returned to Xinri City, Yi Cheng was sitting at his desk, thinking about the matter of the Black Beast Mercenary Group.

Yi Cheng already knew that Walter had a relationship with the evil god, but he didn't know that the black shadow was actually just a part of the evil god, usually possessing Keane.

This time the situation was urgent, and Walter's life was in danger, which affected the evil god's plan, so the evil god was dispatched.

"Although the church may take action in this matter, you can't entrust your life and death on others." Yi Cheng said in a low voice.

Yi Cheng thought for a while, and marked a few points on the map in front of him.

Xinri City is right on the edge of the World of Warcraft Forest. It can be said that it is a natural moat. To the south is the small town of Ross, and to the east is the former bandit village of Marigot, which has been renamed "Red Leaf Village" now. .

To the west is the granary Moge Village, which is still under construction. This is a large plain, and it is very difficult to defend.

On the front of Xinri City, that is, in the south direction, there is Ross Township as a buffer point. In case there are enemies, this will be the first buffer point.

In the east, the assistance of Marigat is needed, and the plains of the Mogo village are a big problem, because it is difficult to deal with fast-moving enemies such as cavalry.

But Yi Cheng seems to have seen a solution, that is the river upstream from Blackstone Fort on the map!

The width of this river is only two meters, and it may be about four meters in the flood season, but its flow direction is in line with Yicheng's strategic defense.

This river may be able to enclose the Moge village by damming it. Anyway, its flow direction is also fixed, but the Moge village becomes Hanoi by turning the rope.

However, the cost of doing this is still a bit high. Yi Cheng calculated a little, and it would take about ten kilometers to dig through the river area.

Such a big project would probably be tiring even for Maria to do it. Yi Cheng thought about it and decided not to think about it for now.

"Ah~ I feel like my head is getting dizzy from being so busy with these things." Yi Cheng complained, since he came to this world, he seemed to be tightly wound up every moment.

"Then go out for a walk. I remember that you haven't inspected your territory for a long time. This is not a competent lord."

Galantis, who had been sitting there silently, suggested.

Indeed, it seems that it has been a while since I went out to inspect the city. The whole city is developing in an orderly manner according to Yi Cheng's plan, but Yi Cheng really doesn't care about the progress that has been reached.

"I think you're right, Galantis. I should go out more, otherwise everyone would think I'm dead." Yi Cheng made a joke, but unfortunately the only audience member didn't want to laugh.

Yi Cheng's office is in the first twelve residential buildings built, next door is Gu Duo's other home, but Gu Duo seldom comes here, her permanent place is the pharmacy.

When they went downstairs, everyone saw Yi Cheng and greeted them one after another, and Yi Cheng also responded one by one. Most of the people living here were old acquaintances of Yi Cheng, former villagers.

Now half a year has passed, and everyone's living standards have undergone a qualitative leap. Those who graze from the soil have become working class, and they already have some spare cash in their hands.

In this snowy season, instead of being hungry, the big guy can eat a meal of meat every now and then, and vegetables are available almost every day.

Such food conditions made their faces rosy and their bodies healthier.

Along the way, there were quite a few shops on the road, most of which were opened by people who came to live in New Sun City to save money, because Gabilly had a good start.

From a small shop to the current large market, there are almost everything from daily necessities to all kinds of vegetables and meat. Of course, he himself has also reaped a lot of profits.

Now both Gabriel and Yuhak are basically in the retirement stage, and the rent of the stalls rented out by the market every day is enough to eat and drink.

When Yi Cheng walked into the market, the ground was a bit dirty, but this was normal, there were so many people, and it was snowing outside, it was impossible for everyone's soles to be clean.

There were a lot of people in the market, because it was almost evening, and many people started to buy vegetables for dinner, and the vegetable vendors kept shouting one after another.

Yi Cheng was near a stall selling radish, and the owner of the stall was a little radish, who didn't look like a local, about seven or eight years old.

"How do you sell these radishes?" Yi Cheng picked up two palm-sized white radishes and asked.

Little Luobotou was originally reading a comic book, but when he saw someone patronizing, he hurriedly threw the book aside.

"Big brother, three copper coins for a carrot." The child said shaking his head.

"So expensive? Wheat is only a few copper coins a catty." Yi Cheng was a little surprised.

"If you don't look at what time it is now, it's snowing heavily outside. If it's in other places, these radishes are at least one silver coin." The little kid said unhappily.

"Besides, in order to grow these radishes, my family hired someone to build a house, and the upper house also burned charcoal in the house to ensure that the seedlings would not freeze to death. Aren't these all costs?"

Although the child was young, he said the same reasoning, which made Galantis laugh.

"Okay, what you said makes sense, let's buy two." Galantis took out the money from his body and picked up two fresh white radishes, one for Yi Cheng and one for himself.

Chapter 230 Casino

Yi Cheng and Galantis were walking on the fairly wide street, the ground was covered with thick white snow, except for the middle section which seemed cleaner because people often walked by, the snow in other places was knee-thick.

"This snow has been snowing for a long time. I don't know how many poor people who can't afford to eat will starve to death." Galantis was a little sad. Every winter, she could always see many corpses lying on the streets and alleys.

Most of them are old people, followed by some physically disabled people, and there are fewer children, but their fate is not necessarily good.

If you are lucky, you will meet a kind and rich man and take him home. Whether you are a servant or plan to train as a personal guard, you will not be hungry.

But if you are unlucky, you may be taken to do something that will lose your dignity and life.

"Yeah, actually I don't get enough to eat every winter, but Grandpa always keeps a bowl of hot porridge for me." Yi Cheng was not talking about himself, but the predecessor of this body.

"Your grandpa is so kind." Gloria smiled at Yi Cheng.

"It's a pity he passed away."

"Condolences..."

After walking for a while, Yi Cheng seemed to have noticed that there was something wrong with the shop in front, a small shop with a thick cloth curtain covering it.

Although I couldn't see what was going on inside, people kept coming in. They were all middle-aged uncles. Occasionally, two young people went in.

Galantis looked at the place Yi Cheng was pointing at, and found that all the people coming and going were men, as if thinking of something strange, his face turned red.

"Let's go, Yi Cheng, maybe it's a place where those, those stinky men vent their animal desires." Galantis pulled Yi Cheng's arm to get rid of this dirty place.

"Don't make trouble, my territory does not allow this kind of place to sell your body, the patrol team in the city is not vegetarian." Yi Cheng said dumbfoundedly, he didn't expect an upright knight to have such thoughts.

"What's in there?" Gladys asked curiously.

"I don't know, just go in and have a look." Yi Cheng walked up first, and Glendis hurriedly followed.

"Wow~ buy big and buy small, buy and leave!" As soon as the curtain was lifted, Yi Cheng heard the sound of a boy shaking the dice and shouting to place a bet. Looking inside, Yi Cheng's face turned green immediately. .

Don't look at this guy's appearance is not big, but inside there is a hole in the sky. The first floor alone is about 300 square meters, which is about the size of three ordinary shops.

No wonder the left and right sides of this unnamed store are empty. It turned out to have been bought by this casino.

Galantis didn't have much feeling, the casino is something that every city has, although she never comes here, she will not take the initiative to trouble them.

But Yi Cheng's face seemed very ugly, "Do you want me to let the owner of this casino come out?" Galantis raised the big sword in his hand, and if Yi Cheng agreed, Galantis planned to use force Come to call.

"Don't wait, let's call the patrol team first." Yi Cheng planned to take the entire casino under his nose.

I didn't expect it to be really dark under the lights. This territory has not yet grown up, and there are so many moths out there. Should socialism still be built?

The patrol team is made up of police officers, and they wear conspicuous yellow military overcoats in winter. This is what Yi Cheng learned from the army. Military overcoats are a good thing, and they have a first-class thermal effect.

There are several policemen in military coats on the street, two ordinary people and three kobolds.

Kobolds have the most sensitive noses, and they still remember Yi Cheng's smell most clearly after a few months, and they can smell the big guy's smell when Yi Cheng is tens of meters away from them.

"Wow woof!" Several kobolds immediately ran to Yi Cheng happily, and respectfully handed over the bones they treasured in their arms. This is their highest etiquette.

"My lord, we finally see you again." The corners of the leading kobold's eyes were moist, and his tail kept wagging.

"Don't talk nonsense, let me ask you, do you know that there is a casino over there?" Yi Cheng asked with a dark face.

"Phew~ Report to the lord, we know!" After seeing a few kobolds running over, the other two people also reacted and ran over in a hurry.

"Since you know, why do you allow it to survive?" Yi Cheng was furious. He didn't expect that among the policemen he trained, there would be people who didn't know the seriousness.

The three things of pornography, gambling and drugs, none of them are good things, they not only wear down one's will, but also easily make one's body empty, and it is not too much to say that in serious cases, the family will be destroyed!

Especially when there are more gamblers in Xinri City, if anyone loses and loses his pants, he might do something outrageous.

"But you didn't say that casinos are not allowed." A young man with an immature face replied aggrievedly.

"Really?" Yi Cheng was stunned, as if he only said that there is no place to sell his body, and indeed he didn't mention anything else.

It was also because he had never seen a casino in the environment where he lived, and only a certain branch in the entire republic had a legal casino.

"Then I don't blame you, but starting from today, any place with a gambling nature is not allowed to appear!" Yi Cheng gave an order.

"Yes!" Several people immediately wrote it down.

"Now go and call all the team members who are idle in the city, get ready your weapons, and gather here!" Yi Cheng ordered the five people.

"Yes!" After receiving the order, they separated immediately, and ran to the place where the other teams were patrolling to gather their men.

After everyone left, Gladys asked puzzledly, "It's just closing down a casino, so there's no need for so many people, right? Actually, I can do it by myself."

Galantis has this self-confidence, no matter how many small thieves in the casino come, he will not be his opponent.

It's nothing more than a big cat and a kitten.

"Just shutting down a casino won't make me launch such a big battle. The main reason I did this is to take this opportunity to educate the residents on them as a negative example."

That's right, Yi Cheng planned to arrest the owner of the casino, confiscate his illegal income during this period, and then tell him to leave.

As for those gamblers, Yi Cheng intends to educate them on what they can and cannot do.

Instead of doing a good job, you gamble for money. It's okay to win, but won't you regret it if you lose?If you still have a family, you will be even more damned.

What if all the money earned from hard work is lost, and the wife and children at home don’t want to eat?

Yi Cheng just waited for a while, and immediately there were patrol members running over from other places.
