January of the fourth year of Silver Moon.

The cold winter has gradually passed, the snow has begun to melt, and clear water flows in the streams on the mountain.

New leaves have grown on the branches.

In the breeze, the green forests fluctuate gently like sea waves. In contrast, the huge Giant Snake City is a huge city.

Yes, it's a big scale.

Strictly speaking, Giant Snake City is located in the mountains and is not suitable for building a large-scale city-state, but Jones built it out in a desperate manner.

In the middle, on the mountain is a huge arched castle, which looks like an egg half buried underground. On the top of the "eggshell" are nine towers that can overlook the whole city. They symbolize the nine heads of the Hydra. In the middle, the rainfall reaches the room, forming a small lake located in the center of the castle.

Needless to say, our Hydra Ophelia is here. It is now a symbol of the Snake City. As for Jones, he only occupied one of the towers. However, it is much larger than the original small castle.

There are countless small and medium-sized castles with different shapes down the giant castle. This is the residence of the lichs.

Jones prepared a castle for every lich who came here. Yes, every one, so this is a super complex of hundreds of castles. The scale is so grand that it is jaw-dropping enough.

This is nothing in the Giant Snake City. After all, today's Giant Snake City has huge labor, including dwarves, goblins, and the undead legion brought by the Lichs. It's easy for them to build such things.

The nine-petal snake citi symbolizing the Giant Snake City is hung uniformly on the castle.

Going out, there are large buildings.

The arched low houses spread across the flat ground in the east are the dwarves' residences.

The almost hollowed-out hills and densely packed areas to the west are the goblin residences.

The hilly land to the south is a large commercial area with airports that facilitates docking of goblin airships.

To the north is the industrial area of ​​Giant Snake City, with various refineries, processing plants, and the laboratories of the Lichs.

As for the more peripheral areas, there are the city walls built by the undead, the military camps of the undead army, the mine veins, and the boundless and undulating fields and farms. Of course, there are also the woods that the Giant Snake City has never lacked.

At this moment, the snow had begun to melt, and under the sun, the whole city was radiating bright light.

Well...Did you say the Collin Peninsula is not capricious in climate? Why does it snow so on time this year and melt so on time?

Hmm... Do you remember I said that there is nothing in this world that magic cannot do. If so, add a few more powerful people with magic power?

Yes, what the Lichs do. When you get the support of more than one million ten thousand-year-old Lichs, most things in this world cannot be difficult to defeat you, including the weather.

Even though the land in Giant Snake City is still as barren.

In short, the Giant Snake City has become the only place with a normal climate on the Collin Peninsula. Not only that, due to its huge labor force, its output is so large that it has long exceeded the scale of Hilde, which Jones once admired. It is the land of Adair and his family.

OK, I understand, you must have forgotten who Adair is again. Adair Sambo, the brother of Jones, who held his thighs just right.

Although Giant Snake City is located in a remote location, it is impossible to attract attention for such a big movement. Not to mention anything else, the goblins' airships flew over their heads every day, and there is no reason not to see them.

As a result, a large number of goblin merchants settled in the commercial area in the south of Giant Snake City. While bringing business opportunities to Giant Snake City, they also began to push Giant Snake City to the world.

"I want to engage in the slave trade, and there is a lot to do with it here, really. It can create huge wealth for the Serpent City. And the Goblin is also particularly willing to be sold by me. I really don't understand why I disagree."

"This is the rule of Giant Snake City, sir."

"Why? The slave trade can be carried out in other places, but you can't?"

"You can go to other places to engage in the slave trade. I'll say again that the residents of Giant Snake City are free people, and there is no place for slavery here. Otherwise, you will be punished, including the confiscation of all property." With a bang, the elf lady sitting on the counter stamped the seal of "disagreement" on the application: "Next!"

There was no way, the goblin businessman who failed to develop a new business had to leave in shame with the stamped application.

The spacious government hall is full of people, countless people, of all races. There are only no blood clan.

Why? Because it's daytime now, they can't come out.

The most common race is goblins, because it mainly handles trade and commerce related affairs. The goods entering and leaving the Giant Snake City and the development of commercial activities requires approval here.

"I don't understand why my goods are seized. My customers are in a hurry to ask for goods! If you breach the contract, do you have to compensate me for my losses?"

“There is a problem with the quality of that batch of goods.”

"I know, I knew there was a problem when I bought it. My customers also knew that they had a problem. They bought it because they were cheap. Is there any problem with it?"

"The words "forged by Giant Snake City". Exporting such goods will affect the image of Giant Snake City."

"Then I'll polish those words?"

"It's still not possible. We cannot let such goods be exported. You can only choose to rebuild these goods. As for the person who sells the goods to you, we are investigating him."

Of course, there are also administrative and people's livelihood content, but it's relatively less. They have something else.

"We want to get married. Well... I know that's strange, after all, we are all goblins, and goblins usually don't get married."

"No, this is not surprising. Every resident of Giant Snake City is a free man, and you have the right to marry."

"Oh, that's great. I can ask by the way, will there be any difference after marriage?"

"Of course, your rights will be protected by the Giant Snake Lord, and you must also fulfill relevant obligations. Most of them are related to property. Here is a piece of material you can take a look at first."

"But I can't read."

"Then you can go there and learn more about it. We have a marriage counter specifically for goblins."

"By the way, we are both men, will there be any problem?"

"No problem." The elf replied with a smile.

"Okay, thank you." The two goblins left happily.

The elf lady turned sideways and picked up a cup of tea.

Another elf lady next to her sighed and said, "Recently, there have been more and more people going through the marriage procedures for Goblins."

"Yes, this is a good thing, isn't they? They no longer think that they are just slaves and already know how to have their own life."

"But you look at their registration form, they are all male and male, female and female. I'm a little worried."

"This is also a good thing, Polona. You don't know how many headaches we had at the beginning. The goblins were reproductive too fast, and we even worried that they would chew the entire Giant Snake City. This would at least reduce their reproductive speed and reach a certain level of natural sterilization."

"Um...it's right. By the way, Sister Ami, how long have you been here?"

"It's been almost a year."

"I was bought back by the city lord for only over a month. To be honest, I don't quite understand why he bought me back. After all, elf slaves are not cheap."

"Maybe he just felt that letting others sit in your current position is too short and it is too annoying to train repeatedly." As he said that, the elf girl called Ami smiled.

Polona laughed too.

For most people who have just arrived at Giant Snake City, especially as slaves, Jones's behavior is very difficult to understand.

He used gold coins to buy back slaves of various races, but gave them freedom, and even allowed them to leave Snake City instead of just helping him work. At the beginning, his behavior even led to the financial crisis in Snake City.

As a lord, when I opened my treasure house, I found that there were only two gold coins left. What was that feeling?

If he was an ordinary lord, he would probably collapse. Jones was fine, after all, he was used to living a life of negative assets. And he also had a brother named Adair who had nothing but money. It was easy to occasionally overdraw tens of thousands of gold coins to save the emergency.

Speaking of Adele, he is also very comfortable now. He may even be the best descendant of the Sambo family in his generation.

"Adair, I need three million gold coins."

"Yes, it's absolutely fine. I'll let them prepare it for you."

"I haven't told you what I want to use for."

"Is this important? As long as it is what you want, I will support it unconditionally."

"Thank you so much. Actually, the materials I plan to use for magic tests are too expensive. And the chance of failure is a bit high."

"It's okay, I support you."

Well, this still sounds like a prodigal son, with his eyes closed to invest.

However, is this the truth?

Obviously not.

The huge labor not only built a magnificent city-state for the Giant Snake City, but also built the road to the surrounding territory of the Giant Snake City, which had a great stimulating effect on his business.

At the same time, new products of the Lichs have entered the market. You have to admit that no matter how excellent the dwarves' skills are, they are not as good as the armor that the Lichs blessed with magic. Moreover, the dwarves in the Giant Snake City are not bad at all, and they are even getting better and better, and are close to the most authentic dwarves in the Dwarves Valley.

Not only armor and weapons, but also potions, furniture, and clothing, covering almost all industries.

This was a nightmare for the original business system of the blood clan. Not only that, Jones was also buying slaves, which directly led to the price of slaves becoming the most stable of all trades, and indirectly raised the costs of other blood clan lords.

When the goods produced by Giant Snake City went to the world, a large number of funds also flowed into Giant Snake City wildly. Among them, the most active one is the Gangro family, which is one of the three major blood clans and is known for its banking industry.

The Gangro family has huge wealth and is keen on investing. However, their investment in Snake City hit a wall. With the relationship between Adale and Jones, the Sambo family almost ate the whole cake.

You know, this is the largest cake on the entire Colin Peninsula and even the entire continent.

The industry and commerce on the Collin Peninsula were beaten up by Jones, with terrible profits and even losses abound. Although the slave trade still maintained prices, it was not easy. After all, the depressed business environment was forcing the lords to sell their slaves, which brought an impact on the merchants who made a living from the slave trade.

Looking around, the profitable investment seems to be the only one left in Giant Snake City.

As for the larger scope... the entire continent is in war, and it is a certain degree of disorderly war. Even without it, they will find it difficult to compete with Jones, who has received support from Lich. What's more, in the human world, Jones has a connection that is far superior to them. Even with dwarves, elves, and Jones's son of the Lich King, it is not comparable to ordinary blood clans.

In addition... Jones is also known for liberating slaves, which gives him an excellent reputation among other races.

There are no traditional blood clan lords in these conditions.

At the same time, Jones is not satisfied with the status quo, and he is still working hard to develop new businesses.
