Chapter 89: 12 years of change (part 2)

　　 In addition to the functions of the city itself, even in terms of area, Hope City is not much worse than Barrington.
Although the main body of the city cannot expand further due to the limited land in the southern part of the valley, the residents of Hope City will soon turn the outside of the city wall into a part of the city-outside the city wall, it is now called the "outer city" Area.
　　 Although this area has just begun to be established, it has no other uses except for residential and commercial trade, but its scale has even been delimited beyond the valley...
　　If we were before Weiss, this kind of behavior was indeed tantamount to exposing oneself. But now Ailuo can be said to have controlled the entire Falkenridge. Under the decree of the state organs, the development of Hope City is not subject to any external constraints.
　　—Actually, it was taking into account today's situation that Ai Luo would risk his life to participate in the royal capital incident and make a series of seemingly crazy actions.
　　 Now, it's time for Ai Luo to taste the sweetness.
　　The east, west, and north of the valley are currently in a state of no large-scale development. This is not because the people of Ailuo didn't want to do this, but because these areas belonged to several other members of the Tokamak faction. Even if they were not in the valley at the moment, Ai Luo didn't want to move their territory casually.
　　 For the dragon, the importance of territory can be said to be second only to treasure. Before Ailuo is sure that he does not need the help of the dragon, he will not do anything to make a big mistake.
　　 Of course, it is true that large-scale development is not possible, but what if it is developed by those giant dragons?
　　 Anyway, Eiro would not leave so much land idle. Under his orders and hints, the lizard people established a prosperous tribe in the northern part of the valley. Under the support of Hope City, this tribe grew stronger and stronger. Just as goblins gathered in Hope City, many lizard people in the eastern part of the Falkenrich Kingdom were integrated in various coercive and lured ways until the northern part of the valley. It has become a swamp city full of exotic flavors.
　　 The eastern part of the valley was originally the territory of Natalie. There were not many people under this green dragon. There were only a few kobolds and the elves and half-elves transformed by the adventurers.
However, under the secret operation of Ailuo, a large group of kobolds and orcs directly rehabilitated the forest under the name of Natalie. Not only did they build a small town deep in the forest and send Tokamak to The tentacles of the forces were deeply implanted beyond the valley, and the empty nest that was enchanted by Natalie was renovated.
　　 As for the western part of the valley, it is indeed the most difficult, because Karamunk hates humanoid creatures, so he has no staff at all.
　　 But this is not too difficult for Ai Luo, since there are no men, then send him some men.
　　 So another group of humanoids declared with great fanfare that they would voluntarily take the lead, and they all stationed in the western part of the valley.
　　 "Lord Lord..."
The aimless walk quickly exposed Ai Luo's figure to the eyes of the subjects. A group of members of the Yanlong Church who seemed to be going to preach in the swamp city in the north fell on the ground, expressing their respect. .
　　 "Get up, I just look around."
　　 "Yes, Lord Lord!"
　　The people saluted respectfully again, then turned and left here.
　　 Needless to say, every time I encounter such a situation, the dragon nature in Ai Luo's heart can always be well satisfied.
　　 Even though he can say that he has complete majesty in the valley now, Ai Luo still does not intend to equate himself with the "Yanlong" that the church believes in. After all, the so-called crowded people, Icote Valley is indeed much stronger than before, but it is still in a period of savings, and it is still not the time to be honest.
　　 As for the continuous big moves mentioned above, of course, it is not without foundation. In fact, compared with the beginning, the human resources of the Icot Valley forces are no longer lacking.
　　 The race of goblins alone has grown from dozens of members at the beginning of the valley to more than two thousand people now, not to mention various humanoid creatures.
　　According to recent statistics, the population of the entire Icote Valley has approached five thousand!
　　 This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that among these five thousand people, at least one tenth are devout believers, the number of true believers has exceeded one thousand, and the rest are almost all shallow believers.
　　 Of course, we can't ignore mad believers like Raja, although there are really too few believers at this level.
　　 This means that in twelve years, the belief points that Ai Luo has gained, before and after, add up to... nearly 20 billion!
　　 But don't be happy too early, when first calculating this data, Ai Luo was also quite incredible. Because he wasn't all asleep during this period-out of concern for his own power, Ai Luo had only been asleep for about two years in the twelve years. Compared with dragons of the same age, he was already a bit more diligent.
　　 And when he was awake, Ai Luo never found that the number of faith points in his hand exceeded 100 million.
　　 It seems a bit unbelievable, but if you consider the use of belief points over the years, Ai Luo is not difficult to understand.
　　 Regarding the use of belief points, the biggest one has been material exchange.
The rapid development of the entire Icote Valley is actually not a completely natural process, but Ailuo has exchanged belief points for a sufficient resource base, which allows the people to build their territories with almost no worries-and so The cost of doing this is that at least three million faith points are spent on food every year, and the cost of construction resources will be doubled several times.
　　 If it is just to maintain the stability of the Icourt Valley, it will undoubtedly not be used too much. Even after twelve years, 100 million points will be enough. It's just that the area that Ai Luo needs to worry about now is far beyond the Icote Valley...
　　 That's right, now he must take care of the entire Fakenridge!
　　 As mentioned earlier, if only relying on natural recovery, Falkenrich would definitely be beaten by Stasi. Then Ai Luo's choice is very clear: use massive belief points directly to smash them, and exchange resources for time!
The result of this is that during the twelve-year period, Ailuo transformed more than 10 billion belief points into a steady stream of materials and provided them to the whole country, which greatly eased Falkenridge’s urgent need and allowed the country to transfer more His energy is used to suppress the rebels and strengthen the country.
Also, thanks to Ailuo’s unblinking eye for strengthening an ordinary person into a legendary powerhouse, even a demigod’s huge amount of faith points to the people’s livelihood, Falkenridge was not left behind by Stasi. Too far-it's a pity that Stasi's decades of accumulation, even if Falkenrich now has Ello's help, is far from catching up.
　　 In other words, the current strength comparison between the two countries can only prevent Falkenrich from being completely defeated at the beginning of the war!
　　 Besides these necessary materials, Ai Luo must also take care of the research of the scholars of the Nikko Society. As we all know, academic research also needs a lot of money, especially now that time is tight, it is by no means a few scholars sitting in a room to calculate and calculate, if you want to quickly transform the accumulation of predecessors into tangible results. Discussion can be done.
　　In the field of alchemy, for example, if you want to make a theoretical breakthrough, you need a lot of experiments as a basis. And where do the equipment and materials needed for these experiments come from?
　　 is naturally provided by Ai Luo!
　　 Although it is not impossible to obtain it through normal channels, that speed is really too slow, it is not as convenient as Ailuo can exchange it with a thought. You know, Ailuo has promised scholars to give them a free research environment and support their research.
　　 This promise naturally includes not only a slogan, but also sufficient experimental materials and equipment in exchange for billions of belief points.
　　Even in some high-end experiments, Ai Luo will personally participate, using belief points to directly build an ideal experimental environment...
　　 All in all, the total cost of this series is really not much lower than Ai Luo's harvest.
　　 To be honest, sometimes Ai Luo would suspect that he wasted his beliefs so much, is it really good?
He has roughly checked what the belief replacement contract can provide. If he does not adhere to the original principles, but chooses to exchange belief points for items that can directly strengthen his own strength, he may now have the strength beyond Venerable Xingyou. Right?
　　 However, this matter cannot be counted like that.
Because gaining a huge amount of faith points is the result of Ai Luo’s early investment at any cost~EbookFREE.me~ If he was only satisfied with providing faith points with dozens of goblins in the Icot Valley from the beginning, then also Not much better than it is now.
　　Similarly, paying tens of billions of faith points now is also considered for obtaining more faith points in the future.
　　 The sentence of giving, gaining is universal no matter in which world it is. Although this investment of more than tens of billions of belief points has not yet been converted into actual returns, Ailuo clearly sees its prospects.
　　 The vigorous development of the Icourt Valley, the gradual awakening of Falkenridge, the full rise of the material school led by the Sunshine Society, and the growing belief power of the Yanlong Church...
Until now, Ailuo still clearly remembers the original dragon that required a trillion high faith points, and one high faith point is equal to one billion ordinary faith points-if there is not a strong country, even a few People in the country provide points of faith as their own believers. I really don’t know when such a large demand will be met.
　　 Besides, there are gods in this world. Venerable Beyond Xingyou actually doesn't explain much, what the inheritance memory says is very clear, even the Venerables who are the leader of the metal dragon clan are far inferior to the weakest deity.
　　 Ai Luo has reason to believe that if he intends to reverse the general trend of the world, one day he will inevitably be opposed to the gods!
　　And before that, only by transforming the whole world into one's own power as much as possible can you obtain the capital to fight against God...
　　 Yes, don’t worry, take your time, just like in Barrington Palace...
　　 took a deep breath, Ai Luo opened his eyes, and looked down at the highest part of the valley, looking down at the power that was founded by him and is still expanding, and his mood was unprecedented.
