Chapter 645 No Label on the Head
There is no grand ceremony, and I don't know if the other party feels that it is unnecessary, or because the city is in a state of waste and everything is not doing well. Du You didn't care and just walked in.
Just walked into it, behind the front hall, a man who looked only in his thirties was sitting behind.
There is a unique temperament on his body, as if the luminous points in the entire hall are gathered on him. Even though this person's aura was only revealed a little, Du You still felt tremendous pressure.
This is definitely a fourth-order existence, and Du You has a clear understanding in his heart.
But what shocked Du You was that there was no label on the opponent's head. You know, usually, only professionals and semi-professionals don't have labels on their heads. Others will appear as long as they get close to a certain distance.
Occupational names, species names, and levels cannot be hidden from professionals. Professionals can occupy such a big advantage in the world, this small label is very important.
But the person in front of him has nothing on his head. Could it be that he is a professional? Du You was secretly vigilant, if other professional organizations came to this world and continued to grow, it would be troublesome.
"Please sit down." The other party pointed to the chair in front of Du You.
There are already many people sitting here, these people are not lords, but some officials of Nanshan City.
Except for a few people, most of them are Tier 3, and ordinary people really can't bear the pressure here. There are also some soldiers standing around on both sides, their aura is very strong, and they are also some third-tier soldiers.
Du You stepped forward and sat firmly on the seat, while Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi stood behind Du You, their aura faintly locked onto the surrounding soldiers, forming a confrontation with the soldiers on both sides.
Although two people are not the opponents of these soldiers, the battle of momentum cannot be determined by numbers.
"Du You, the lord of the Mountain Territory, you've done a very good job. I'm An Lute, the lord of Nanshan City. I heard that you've been busy before. Now that I see your strength, I admit that you've done a very good job."
Du You was taken aback, this is the city lord. According to Shalia, the city lord has always lived in the imperial capital of the Shenyan Empire, and it is basically impossible for those who can be sent to have a problem with their identity. It can be said that their parents and relatives are all present, and their family is also famous. Such a person cannot be a professional, unless he is dropped by a professional.
But this is basically impossible. In the Shenyan Empire, if you want to drop an important person,
The difficulty is not small.
Most importantly, Du You didn't find any special hints from An Lute's words.
"Where! Improving strength is the most important thing. Developing territory is just a necessary preparation for improving my own strength." Du You replied calmly.
"Well said, unlike some people who know how to fight for power all day long. Only one's own strength is the most fundamental. Without strength, even if you have power, what is the use of power." An Rutt glanced around.
Many people lowered their heads with ashamed expressions on their faces.
Who doesn't know that strength is very important, but to improve strength is also about talent, isn't it? Not everyone is as talented as An Rutt, who can reach the fourth level at such a young age.
"First of all, when you come to Nanshan City, it means that you have accepted the management of Nanshan City. In the past, the major territories did not have to pay taxes, but now they are under the management of the empire. However, due to the environment here, the normal tax revenue is halved. Of course, those who are in difficulty can also receive imperial subsidies now."
This order is aimed at myself, no one in the entire Southern Territory can afford to pay taxes except myself. Everyone else got the subsidy, all good news, only myself lost.
And the tax paid by oneself only needs to take out a small part to subsidize other territories. Nanshan City can gain huge profits, but he has to lose a lot, Du You's face is a little annoyed.
"Young man, don't be angry. This is the case in places where the empire values and strengthens control. Besides, isn't it safe here?" Du You slowly suppressed the anger in his heart.
He knew that the empire or Nanshan City was not aimed at him, but only for his own benefit. As for the previous rules and so on, they are just promises, and if they are not implemented on paper, who would care.
The empire is powerful, and if he wants to keep his territory, he can only compromise temporarily. Fortunately, they don't know how much their real income is. In terms of cost, they can do a lot.
Du You nodded: "Yes, but I can't be the only one who loses."
Anlut smiled with satisfaction. This kid is still too young: "Of course not, this is an order from the empire. In view of your role in the south and your previous contributions, the empire has given you the status of earl."
If he was an aborigine, he would be overjoyed, but what use is this status to him. Du You could only express his gratitude with a smile, but the smile was stiff and awkward.
After becoming an earl, his status is completely different from before, because the earl is already a great nobleman in the empire. The status of minor nobles below the earl can still be obtained by making a little military merit. However, the status of earl is impossible without huge military achievements. The last time I made a lot of contributions, I didn't get anything.
Unexpectedly, it is actually obtained here now. However, the strength of his own territory has long been stronger than that of many earl territories. This kind of title will be given to him sooner or later, and he always feels a little disadvantaged. Most importantly, does it work for you?
"The conflict in the south is fierce now, and there are more things for you to develop in the future. The imperial nobles will also value this place in the future, but you have the opportunity to take the first step and gain greater benefits. In the next battle, if you If you perform well, not only the title, but also other benefits can be obtained."
An Lute narrowed his eyes slightly: "For example, some secret methods of practice can now be released by relying on military achievements."
The people around took a breath, which had never been said before. Everyone looked at Du You, and a look of envy flashed in their eyes. Practicing the secret method is something ordinary people can't get.
Du You was stunned, is this thing useful to him? I am a professional, as long as I continue to use crystal coins to improve. Those so-called secret methods of practice are only useful for the aborigines, and it seems like a waste to get them by yourself.
