"Oh, are you originally from the Theocracy of Salos? No wonder you are like that. Your Salos language is very fluent. I have been to the capital of the Theocracy. They call it the Holy Capital. It is indeed magnificent and magnificent. It is indeed one of the top ten in our world. One of the cities, alongside my hometown Lidat Oasis City, they are both pearls of civilization, but it’s a pity..."
Lu Ping'an saw these distinguished guests in the reception room of the city hall.
Different from the expected one or two people, it was a group of visitors from outside the country, including "VIPs", guards, and experts.
The local accompaniment was not a big cat or a kitten, but the deputy secretary of the municipal government and the deputy director of the management office of the Supernatural Management Bureau... It can be said that the local government and the supernatural management department have sent powerful cadres The officer's sincerity is quite sufficient.
But before Lu Pingping came, the scene was still a little embarrassing.
There is no local translator for the other party's language. For some reasons, these foreign guests did not receive translation support from the state capital. They only relied on the "knowledge" of the supernatural system for forced translation.
There may be no problem with language communication, but it is natural for three sentences to mislead one sentence. Various local customs and common sense deviations make communication extremely difficult.
There was no diplomatic dispute or hostility, just slow and effective hard communication on both sides with patience and sincerity.
"Tsk, this is the air of a member of the royal family. Poor Miss Yaqian may be very envious." Lu Ping'an sat down, helping to translate while slandering in his heart.
The person who took the initiative in the conversation was a graceful and elegant scaly man with slightly dark skin. The six rings on his fingers all had vague fluctuations of supernatural power.
Prince Nibu of Nantes, who now has a local name of Nan Liuzhi, is also the chief officer of this expedition.
He brought more than 20 people including his entourage, servants, experts, and bodyguards, who came specifically to inspect the situation.
And unlike the down-and-out royal family like Yaqian, he came from another continent and also brought a "general" with him.
"...It can be seen that your world is very peaceful. It is really enviable."
"No, just as your world has reached the final long night period, there is still a city that never sleeps like the Holy City. Our city is always in a relatively stable state, and the war zone outside the city is another matter... "
"I see, is this the source of your 'dragon smell'?"
"Dragon smell? Oh, can you feel it too..."
The person who "had a happy chat" with Lu Pingan was an armored warrior from a somewhat backward era. He was introduced as "General Jiang". Like the Benn knight Lu Pingan saw before, he was a scale atavist.
It's just that compared to the upright lizard-like Benn Knight, this Jiang is more like an upright dragon.
He was sitting there like a small black dragon, with vague lightning currents flowing on his back, and flames and thunder flashing among the two children.
"Rule level?"
"Yes, rule level." Big Cat confirmed.
With a rule-level boss following him, this is the real royal family card.
In the Desert Kingdom of Kelai, they are the same Saphos race as The Theocracy, but compared with their counterparts in The Theocracy, their skin is a dull reddish brown, and their hair color is mostly red or black.
This kingdom is considered to be in the middle of the first echelon of kingdoms in the world of Silent Mountain... But unlike the Theocracy, which fell down with the Crown of Honor and directly caused an avalanche, they cared about the face of a powerful kingdom to the greatest extent, and also made preparations for the end of the world. Be fully prepared.
Three old gods and two new gods are the answers they came up with as a powerful country on the mainland.
But even so, it was still impossible to take away all the ethnic groups... They prepared twenty years in advance and eventually took away nearly a million people.
What about a million-level survivor from a superpower that ranks among the top ten in the world, with a population of at least hundreds of millions? Lu Ping'an didn't even want to ask what happened.
Judging from the information I obtained, the country, which already has a strong hierarchical system, has implemented a cruel and secret "selection (points) mechanism". Even if the last survivor is not the backbone of civilization or the elite of hundreds of battles, at least, It can be called "easy to use" on various levels.
I heard that there are licensed personnel who put people through a "scoring mechanism," but most citizens didn't even know that they had been scored until the last minute.
Sound like a lot of work? But just consider that 99% of people are unlikely to get boarding points. In fact, it is enough to give points to "talents" who are likely to meet the requirements.
Lu Ping'an thought on his knees, and was sure that there must be drawbacks, fraud, and all kinds of unfair tricks... But judging from the results, it succeeded and preserved the kingdom to the greatest extent. architecture and civilization.
Is this correct? Judging from the results, it seems that by selecting elites from all walks of life, the mechanism and civilization of the kingdom have been preserved to the greatest extent. A high-quality population of one million is enough to rebuild civilization.
"...The struggle in the last moments of civilization is not something I can evaluate as an individual."
Lu Ping'an looked at Prince Nan Liuzhi who was discussing in a low voice with an official in Dongguo dialect, which he was not very proficient in. The information he just obtained showed that the royal family actually has more than 300 people, and those who were finally rated as "qualified" Less than fifty, of the twenty-seven direct princes of this generation, only seven survived.
Lu Pingan looked at the Dragonborn General in front of him thoughtfully. He was probably the first to get enough points.
Jiang Hei, his simple and rude new name, was actually one of the country's former great generals... Lu Pingan couldn't estimate his strength, but just from close contact, Lu Pingan's instinct told him that once If you start a war, you will definitely be defeated.
"You look very young? You should be no more than thirty years old. Now you are challenging the dragon species? How many years have you been a transcendent?" This elder is quite easy to talk to. After completing the communication with the local high-level officials, he also When I had time, I took Lu Pingping to chat.
Lu Ping'an was already at the third level, and there were some things that he couldn't hide, especially after he had just eaten dragon meat and suffered the stone dragon's breath, the dragon aura on his body was so strong that the dragonborn couldn't ignore it.
As soon as he entered the room, he attracted the attention of the foreign guests, and no one regarded him as a simple "translator" at all.
"I am about sixteen this year, and I have been exposed to supernatural powers for less than half a year."
At this moment, even this dragonborn showed a surprised expression.
"You are a bit different from our information. Do you people from Earth grow so fast..."
"No, I'm a little bit special, but there should be many faster than me."
Jiang Hei touched the dragon's beard on his chin and did not ask further questions. According to the information he obtained, ordinary extraordinary beings on Earth should not grow so fast.
After the break (private communication) ended, formal consultations began again. As a translator, Lu Ping'an also understood more and more the intentions of these foreign guests.
It turned out that the arks of the five gods did not go to the same place as planned. Two of them came to the earth, bringing with them an elite population of about 300,000... This is a lot of food. It’s hard to say whether it was the plan of several baskets or the internal differences after departure.
More than 300,000 outsiders are a bit outrageous for a city, so Dongguo actually has a similar corresponding system. The "ethnic group" of outsiders cannot exceed 50,000, and they cannot settle in cities below the prefecture level. Towns...the precautions involved are not concealed, otherwise there may really be a situation where they dominate the mountain and become the king.
This is actually stepping on the other party's psychological bottom line. If you really want the other party to break it into parts and absorb it completely, the other party may not be willing to accept the deployment. If you agree, it will also cause many hidden dangers, especially those that are inconvenient for management.
This kind of smaller-level division is the best option under the current circumstances... Of course, this system changes several times a year according to the situation, and it may change again in a few months.
But now, according to the new system, these immigrants must be forcibly divided into several groups of no more than 50,000 people, and they can only settle in large cities with larger populations... From their perspective Look, even if they are separated, they naturally don’t want to be too far away, lest there is no one to take care of them if something happens.
Among them, the leader group chose to settle in Changping Prefecture, and the remaining five groups were also preparing to settle in the big cities in Changping Prefecture.
"Forty to fifty thousand carefully selected high-quality immigrants, and the assets and skills they bring with them? Let's talk about everything!"
This is quite convincing for a second-tier city in Changping Prefecture like Gucheng.
As a translator, Lu Ping'an also understands the plans of these foreign guests more and more... Judging from their current performance, they do come with sincerity.
As a former super smelting kingdom, they plan to invest in setting up factories and prepare to try out in the jewelry industry, metallurgy industry, equipment manufacturing industry, and light industry. However, the "taboo items", "precious metals" and "exotic knowledge" they carry with them, It is enough to support the first batch of investment.
This will take time and luck, and whether it will succeed is still unknown, but judging from the fact that they have tried to operate a physical industry from the beginning, they intend to integrate into the world for long-term peace and stability.
The idea of Gucheng's senior management is very simple. No matter what you want to invest, it doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not, but your high-quality assets and technical population must stay in Gucheng.
