Since the second Chaos invasion ended and the mages were brought to the City of Silver by Jean, the large scale defensive magic barrier technology was monopolized by the City of Silver. All the countries had the technology left over from before the war, including Alinx.
If they were unlucky and the magic barrier was damaged in the war, Jean's people wouldn't have time to repair it after the war ended.
Therefore, it was very rare to be able to use a large scale defensive magic barrier.
Not only Testero, even Vanilla and Coco were very excited.
After using the large scale defensive magic barrier, the defenses of New Bull Kathos would be greatly increased. It would be much less likely for the cultists to come in and destroy it like before.
Other than this, if there was a Chaos Gate nearby, facing the invasion of the chaos creatures, New Bull Kathos' resistance would be greatly increased. It would be no problem for them to last until reinforcements arrived.
"Oh, that's right."
Tang En patted his head and said, "Although this magic barrier is very strong, it also consumes a lot of energy. It can only last for a day after activation and we'll need to change the Magic Crystals at the core."
Testero heroically said, "No problem! We can still afford the Magic Crystals. "
Indeed, with the current market price of Magic Crystals, even the Ryan Empire could afford it with their finances.
Adding in the fact that the Ryan Empire had rich mineral reserves, after signing the unlimited mining contract with Tang En, 30% of the minerals that Tang En mined would belong to the Ryan Empire. He was just sitting there and collecting money, so of course he didn't care about the consumption of Magic Crystals.
Walking through the streets of New Bull Kathos, Testero was very excited.
This was a real city that a civilized race should live in!
Compared to the current New Bull Kathos, the previous New Bull Kathos was like a slum. No, it couldn't even compare to a slum, it was like a primitive tribe!
At first, Testero was worried that Tang En would forget about the size of Orcs and Humans when designing the city. But after entering the city, he realized that he had been overthinking things. The buildings in the city had been enlarged, and the doors and windows had been enlarged according to the average size of Orcs. The height of the rooms had also been adjusted.
Along the way, the streets were bustling with people. With the help of the people sent by the Datang Chamber of Commerce, they took the plates and keys they received and looked for their houses. In order to reduce the flow of people, the workers who participated in the construction of the city had been properly arranged in advance. Now, they were enjoying their first breakfast in their new homes.
These Orc refugees who had been living in the wilderness for a week were also shocked when they entered New Bul-Kathos. Many of them even felt uneasy and anxious. Was this city really for them to live in?
Compared to the glamorous New Bul-Kathos, they looked too sloppy, like refugees from the slums.
"Actually, at this time, you should stand out and win the hearts of the people."
Tang En suddenly said to Testero, "This is a rare opportunity."
"There's no need."
Testero shook his head, "We are different from Humans. We don't have so many tricks up our sleeves. As long as we have enough food and warm clothes, our people will be happy. Only Humans are so passionate about power."
Tang En pursed his lips. He felt that Testero was cursing him in a roundabout way.
Testero went all the way to Testero's new palace. Looking at the shiny floor tiles in the room, Testero couldn't help but sigh. The Datang Chamber of Commerce was simply the conscience of the industry!
The smooth and bright floor tiles on the ground were of high quality and must be very expensive. But they actually covered the entire palace with them.
Sure enough, you get what you pay for. This debt was worth it!
Seeing the satisfied smile on Testero's face, Tang En laughed in his heart. What was the highest level of business?
Of course, it was the kind that sold the other party and helped them count the money happily.
Due to Tang En's personal values, the palace in New Bul-Kathos wasn't very big. It was exquisite and luxurious. The bold and rough style of the Orcs was modified by the Elven artists and combined with the wild inner preferences of the Dwarves to form a unique artistic beauty. It made the whole city exude a unique charm, and the palace was the highlight of it.
Testero was very satisfied with the new palace, especially the garden and the training field. It perfectly combined the elegant life of a Royal and the Orc bloodline's martial spirit. Not only could he sit in the garden like an elegant civilized race and drink tea, he could also change into a military uniform and fight to his heart's content in the training field. This was the life he dreamed of!
"I'm very satisfied!"
After a pause, Testero said, "I'm very satisfied! I think that no one in Prandal can do better than you! "
Tang En smiled and said, "Satisfying our customers has always been our motto."
Vanilla curled his lips, "You're a king, but you keep talking about your customers like a merchant. Don't you find it embarrassing?"
Due to the awkward situation from before, Tang En chose to endure it.
Coco asked curiously, "Why would a merchant be embarrassing? Can't a merchant be a king? "
Vanilla said matter-of-factly, "Of course a merchant can't be a king."
"Wrong."
Tang En smiled and shook his head, "There's no difference between a king and a merchant. They both need to be managed."
"Oh?"
Testero's interest was piqued, "Why do you say that?"
"A king and a merchant are essentially the same. They both want to achieve their own goals. It's just that a king runs a country, while a merchant runs a product. The methods they use are similar."
"A king naturally has the highest status, but he desires more people to know his name. That's why he needs to use the right policies to improve the country's cohesiveness and strength, indirectly increasing the citizens' sense of pride and unity. At the same time, he can obtain a higher support rate and spread his name."
"Businessmen often come from poor backgrounds, and they desire more wealth and status. They use clever business methods to sell goods to gain wealth, and at the same time, to increase the value of their own brands. Through the increase of wealth, they increase their status and voice, and thus obtain higher status and power."
"Have you noticed? Because of the different starting points, both sides are seeking what they lack. In this process, they both need to work hard. It's just that the foundation is different, so the price to pay is different."
Tang En casually said a few words. Seeing that Testero was deep in thought, he hurriedly interrupted his train of thought, "The orcs' situation is special. Don't think about that. Although the residents of New Bul-Kathos have started moving in, I'm afraid that the problems from before will only be solved now."
"Ah? What problems? "
Testero was confused.
As expected, this guy didn't even think about it …
Tang En wiped his sweat. Recently, Testero had been overly brainwashed by Tina's training, and it was obvious that he was a little obsessed. He was about to become Tang En's die-hard fan, and he had to carefully consider every word that Tang En said, considering the deeper meaning behind it.
After the few of them sat down, Tang En said, "Although the city has been rebuilt, due to the previous incident, the residents' wealth can be said to have been completely destroyed. What if they want to claim compensation?"
"Claim compensation?"
"What compensation?" Testero asked with a puzzled expression.
"Loss of property."
Tang En was stunned. "Their personal property was damaged in the previous battle. You're their king, so of course, you have to be responsible for their property."
"Why?!"
Testero's eyes widened. "We worked so hard to protect their lives and fought against the believers of Chaos and the creatures of Chaos. How dare they come to us for compensation?! Are they tired of living?! "
Tang En was dumbfounded. This doesn't feel right?!
"During times of war, we're the ones who shed blood and sweat to protect the lives of the weak. They only need to enjoy protection to have a high chance of survival!"
"It's not easy to reach a time of peace, but we have to be responsible for their property because of protecting their actions? Why?! "
Testero's words reminded Tang En that the universal values on Earth could not be completely transferred to Prandal. In this world, the weak were the ones who were protected and had no power.
After figuring this out, Tang En suddenly understood. No wonder these people camped in the wild for a few days. Other than Lavitz Piston and the group of goblins, not many people caused trouble. After confirming that the underground vault of the Star Diamond Bank's Bul-Kathos branch was not destroyed, Lavitz stopped causing trouble.
"What's more," Testero spread out his hands. "We orcs are very poor and don't have much wealth to speak of. All the gold coins we have are stored in the Star Diamond Bank. Anyway, the Star Diamond Bank didn't run away, and the money can't be lost. Of course, they won't be in a hurry."
"I see. I'm overthinking it."
Tang En nodded. "Then the next problem to solve is how to guide New Bul-Kathos back on the right track …"
Next, Tang En and Testero discussed the resettlement of the residents of New Bul-Kathos. The original management of the residents of Bul-Kathos was basically extensive, and there was no specific management method at all. But now that the city had been rebuilt, the previous management plan was of course not feasible. So, Tang En had to help Testero establish a reliable administrative team.
Now, this administrative team was still being trained by Aurelia. After all, political matters could not be sloppy. It might take a while for the education (brainwashing) to succeed.
Of course, Tang En was not supporting a powerful regime. In fact, what he was doing now was more like supporting a puppet regime.
