William also wanted to know who his father was in this world.
But now, he felt that it was very difficult!
This was because no matter how hard he tried to ask all the factions, even the Blackleaf Elf King, his grandfather in name, would not tell him. This group of people were all vague in their words and could not give him a reason.
Fortunately, he did not care.
Ever since he inherited the territory, the thousands of people in the town only had an average of 10 Luck Points. But didn't he survive for so many years?
Now that his Luck Points had increased by six times, he had to kneel in front of the Magic Sanctuary?
How is this possible? My Luck has already increased to 6! That's six times the usual Luck! That's six times the usual Happiness! I'm much stronger than before! William took a deep breath. He was prepared for the Magic Sanctuary's operation. He was prepared to defend the city to the death.
The Magic Sanctuary was in the neutral camp, but they would not occupy the city.
They were more like merchants who depended on the city to survive.
In fact, the Temple of Light, the Mercenary Guild, and the Palace of Darkness also operated in the same way. There were many benefits. They did not have to worry too much, and they were very mobile. In the worst case, they could just abandon a branch temple. But there were also many disadvantages. They could not earn much.
William had decided that besides the City of Dawn and the Beast Citadel, he would not send too many experts to the other cities. The garrisons of the City of Dawn would all return to the City of Dawn.
As for the temporary management personnel of some cities, it was not easy to kill them. William had made them all hide.
If the Magic Sanctuary could find him and kill him, then there was nothing they could do about it.
But even so.
The cities under William's control still could not cause trouble.
Don't ask why.
It was because he was handsome.
All the civilians and professionals who lived in the cities had hundreds of favorable impression points of him. Why would they cause trouble just because there were no garrisons?
The reason why William sent the garrisons was for security. They were to guard against foreign migrants, adventurers, and mercenaries.
The City of Dawn had no garrisons and no experts to guard the city. The Magic Sanctuary was in the neutral camp. Even though they could not massacre the civilians, they could still hire some greedy fellows to disrupt the security of the cities.
But if they had Zhang Liang's plan, William would have a ladder to climb over the wall.
That was the bidding plan.
This was what the players called the "Lord Mode of City Creation".
In fact, for many fantasy games, most of them had a Lord Building Mode.
However, the Game of the Gods was too realistic.
If you didn't have a backer, other forces would beat you up and take over your city. This could be seen from the development of the City of Dawn.
In the past, the players didn't have the opportunity or the strength.
The players did not have enough time. There were too many quests in the City of Dawn. Moreover, building a town was not as easy as they had imagined. The best way was to conquer an existing town or even a city.
It was a pity …
They could not do it. Even the City of Dawn did not dare to attack the Human cities.
However, the City of Dawn was facing a crisis.
Thus, William made this plan in advance.
Other than the City of Dawn, the Beast Citadel, and Stormwind City.
Green Light City, Eastsea City, the five Sand Cities, and several dozen towns within the territories would be auctioned off and handed over to players for management.
Of course, these cities still belonged to the City of Dawn in name, and 90% of the taxes belonged to the City of Dawn.
Do not underestimate a measly 10%. That was a massive income, enough to support a large-scale Guild.
Moreover, most players could not afford to have two combat occupations.
Besides the rich players and the hardworking players, the experience points alone were enough to make them want to die.
These large guilds had a large number of members and a variety of suboccupations. In order to earn money, they would open shops inside and outside the City of Dawn to sell potions, scrolls, tools, equipment, and other items.
Although the quality of these items was not very high, the new players needed them.
With the great prospect of the magic revival, various NPCs started to train. Various low-level and middle-level professionals also needed these items. Therefore, the sales of these shops were very good.
After all, the professionals in the City of Dawn were pure professionals, and the items they produced were also of high quality. William did not want to compete with the players for these small profits. He would rather let them earn some money.
Therefore, even if it was only 10% of the taxes in a city with a population of 400,000, it would be enough to make a lot of money.
More importantly, the cities that William auctioned off were all perfect cities with a large population, many professionals, and basic infrastructure.
As long as the large guilds were successful in bidding, they could use these large cities and towns as their guild stations.
The guild leader could be the city lord, and they also had some authority as the owners of the city.
For example, they could recruit NPC soldiers and form an NPC army.
They could build and expand the city.
Moreover, once they became the managers of the city, they could recycle some uninhabited houses and use them for their own use. For example, they could build shops.
Let's not talk about other things.
Just the recruitment of NPC soldiers and the construction of their own Shops would be enough to make those large Guilds fight tooth and nail.
Of course.
Perhaps many players would seize the houses in order to earn money after obtaining power.
But the intelligence department that Alec had built for ten years was not to be trifled with.
The rules were already written clearly.
If the players dared to seek death, William did not mind making their bids go down the drain. At the same time, it would serve as a warning to the other large guilds.
But he could not let the players reap all the benefits.
If the economic level of a city managed by a large guild did not improve, but declined, then there would be a lot of problems.
In particular, the bidding method was once per version. He had to constantly reap profits according to the overall economic situation of the players.
Because the players had the business acumen of modern people, the business in these cities would flourish, and the City of Dawn would earn a lot.
In short, William had a group of advisors under him. The players could earn money, but they could not find any loopholes.
When the announcement of the bidding for the cities was posted, the players in the entire China region went crazy.
The forum was filled with cheers.
Many large guilds, such as Glory, Golden Era, Battle Fever, Misty Rain Pavilion, Fierce Blade Alliance, Natural Daze, Righteous Sprout, Blades, Mars Alliance, and Moon Alliance, started to raise funds to bid for some cities.
The five cities of the Sand Sea were not the main targets.
They were too far away, so they were not the main targets of most of the large guilds.
Their focus was on the East Sea Metropolis and Green Light City.
At this moment.
Chu Liuqiu and the rest, who had just ambushed the Magic Sanctuary, had returned. Originally, the bidding had nothing to do with them.
But the better the development of the clubs' subordinate guilds, the more equipment and resources they had. Therefore, this group of fellows came back to discuss some matters.
When the guild leader of the Glory Guild saw Chu Liuqiu, he regained his confidence. He hurriedly said, "Glory is the largest guild in the China region, and we have 600,000 players. We can bid for any city. But between the East Sea Metropolis and Green Light City, which one is better? "No matter how much money we have, we can only bid for one city. If we bid for more, we won't be able to protect it."
Chu Liuqiu looked at the two cities on the map and frowned!
Changli Jiuge took out a fruit from his space ring and ate it. He said, "That depends on the direction of development.
"Green Light City has potential, but it is limited. This city is located in the Nightmare Forest. There are magical beasts, animals, and even Giant Dragons.
"There are also many adventurers.
"But the level of the monsters is too low. Beginner, intermediate, and high-level adventurers can go there. Even Grandmasters can go there.
"But here comes the problem. This is the upper limit of the city's development. Especially since it is located in the forest, it will be very difficult to develop the population."
Chu Liuqiu glanced at Changli Jiuge. This little brother was becoming more and more aware of the big picture. Apart from being a little impulsive in certain matters, he was more reliable in everything else. It was not impossible to let him lead the team in the future.
The reason why he had such thoughts.
It was because he had plans to retire.
Three consecutive Glory championships.
This was real Glory, and it was recorded.
Actually, retiring now was the best choice. If he had no defeats, he would be a legend.
But he still wanted to fight while he was still young. He decided that if he won the championship again in this patch, he would retire. In the future, he would find some retired pro players to form a small team and go on adventures.
Otherwise, if His Highness had any enemies, they would assassinate them. When that time came, they could play more casually.
He believed that once he grew up, as long as his equipment and skills weren't bad enough, apart from magical beasts, seven or eight top-tier pro players could solo an NPC of the same level. Even if it was a Legendary Boss, they could still kill it.
As a result, he made his decision. "Then let's choose Eastsea City. The Endless Sea has endless possibilities. But you should have heard the news that the Gods' seven continents are approaching.
With the update, naval battles will come sooner or later, and the country wars won't be too far away either.
When that time comes, Glory will be at the forefront.
Country wars!
Even if we have Glory, we might also disappoint our fans … "
When Glory's guild leader thought of the country wars, his heart was filled with longing. He wanted to lead Glory's six hundred thousand players right now and have a hearty country war.
As a result, he immediately said, "Then let's choose Eastsea City. Bid with all our strength and take over the management rights of this patch."
Then he could not help but complain, "His Highness is too calculative. The Magic Sanctuary is carrying out assassinations everywhere. They know that we players aren't afraid of death, so they came up with this strategy. But we really can't resist this temptation."
Xiao Ayin shrugged. "Now, we have to win the bid and stabilize the citizens of this city. Don't let the economy go down. The Magic Sanctuary can kill regular soldiers and officials, but they don't dare to do anything to the citizens. This is a huge taboo."
"Alright, I'll talk to Forever Alone and ask him not to cause trouble. Let's try to win Eastsea City cheaply." Chu Liuqiu nodded and then began to talk to Forever Alone.
William did not know what they were thinking.
Cheaply?
What did they mean by cheaply?
Right now, he wanted to earn back all the money he had spent on the mission.
