Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The fall of the Satya Empire overnight caused a huge sensation on the road, and even many civilians knew how powerful the magic city was, and countless versions of the saga were scattered all over the world, allowing many bards to earn a lot of money.

Of course, as long as the nobles with a little ability know that this attack has nothing to do with the magic city, but a small baron's subordinates, these nobles maintain two attitudes towards Cook, those big nobles are simply to Cook is to the God of Wealth, because there is almost no money to cooperate with Cook, a snow sugar business will make many nobles eat with oil, not to mention that Cook's barony consumes tens of billions of gold coins of materials every year, of course, most of them are transported to the Orc's Mekay Empire, but no matter where they are transported, tens of billions of gold coins of materials are enough for these nobles to step up production, food, and livestock, as long as there is, Cook collects it.

In the past, in order to ensure the price of grain and livestock, the nobles were willing to burn the grain in the harvest year rather than sell it, because this could maintain the price of the grain, but with the trade with tens of thousands of wurm in Cook's territory, as long as it was livestock, no matter the size, it was several times higher than the previous price, and the liquor invented by Cook more than doubled the price of human grain, and these nobles could exchange grain for elite equipment built by the dwarves who were rare in the past.

And these nobles want to harvest more grain. There is a need for more lords, and the rise in food prices has also made the secret war between various large and small nobles fighting for the lords more and more intense, the tax charged in the past was half, but now it is only 30%, and some even secretly have some benefits, such as clothes, meat and the like, so the lives of civilians in the human world have improved a lot invisibly, and even slaves can eat some meat in a month now, if it was before, it is possible that slaves will not be able to eat meat for a lifetime.

So this time Cook sent troops to directly attack the Satya Empire, many nobles still secretly applauded, of course, there are also discordant voices, but this kind of discordant voices are a small number of people who have no way to benefit from the cooperation with Cook.

Cook didn't expect that in the next few days, all kinds of cocktail parties and banquet invitations pounced on him like leaves, and what Cook didn't know was that the Pan-continental Noble United Council had decided to grant Cook the title of Duke of Cook, and this was also the highest authorization of the United Council.

In fact, many nobles know that Cook's current barony has more income than an empire, as for his own combat effectiveness, please, according to the statistics of some well-wishers, now in Cook's barony, there are more than thirty groups of permanent wurm monsters, and there are as many as seven types, the number is close to three thousand, and everyone can't think of what kind of power can directly sweep away three thousand wurm beasts.

There are also nearly 100,000 dwarves, 30,000 gnomes, and 150,000 barbarians begging for a living in Cook's barony, nearly 300,000 strong orcs, and a Frost Titan tribe, as for the ogre and troll tribes in the mountains around the barony's domain, which have occupied more than 2,000 kilometers of mountains around the barony's domain, not to mention the magic airship manufacturing base.

Originally, Cook's barony was more than 200 kilometers long and about 100 kilometers wide, and now it is densely populated with people, all kinds of races, humans, dwarves, gnomes, barbarians, orcs, and titans live together very harmoniously, and even the surrounding mountains have tall buildings, which are castles built by some nobles, because Cook's territory has the highest safety factor, according to Cook's understanding, the number of castles built by nobles in his territory exceeds one hundred and fifty, all of which are built in the surrounding mountains。

So this time, the Pan-Continental Noble Council directly gave Cook a great convenience, and in the division of the dukedom, he directly advanced a thousand kilometers to the north, of course, some people scoffed at this, because a good kilometer was the territory of the orcs, so no one raised any objections when discussing this reward, but these cunning nobles regretted it soon after.

As for the east-west direction, the Pan-Continental Noble United Council has directly demarcated 3,000 kilometers, that is, from the Natal Mountains bordering the Yalan Empire to the Todisnia Highlands of the Barbarian Kingdom and the Berserker Kingdom, it has approached the territory of the Elven Kingdom in the Warcraft Forest.

It is well known that the Natal Mountains run through the entire continent, only to fade away at the easternmost Empire of Light, north of which is the vast Orc Empire and to the south is the Human Empire.

The dwarf kingdom and the dwarf kingdom live in the mountains near the Natal Mountains, the berserker kingdom and the barbarian kingdom occupy the Todisnia highlands, and the elven kingdom goes deep into the Warcraft Forest, so all the empires that have been given to Cook's territory have no opinion.

Because Cook's new territory does not border the rest of the major empires, the only border is the Arran Empire, but after experiencing the fact that the Satya Empire was subverted overnight, the Arran Empire was afraid that Cook would find trouble, so he had to sign the reward appointment letter quickly.

Dozens of empires had signed the same appointment, which had never been done before, but it wasn't long before the dozens of empires regretted their signed appointments.

Cook is not interested in other cocktail parties, but Cook is still very interested in the ceremony of this appointment, the duke is already considered a top nobleman, even if Cook now proclaims himself king, no one will object.

"Master, with this appointment, we can occupy those places in the open. Sebastian watched the reception of thousands of people, and since Cook did not attend the rest of the party, there were many nobles at the appointment ceremony.

"Well, tell Bagru to speed up the transfer of ogres and trolls from the underworld. Cook sighed, people on the mainland now think that the Natal Mountains are extremely dangerous, but in Cook's eyes, it is actually rich land.

The Natal Mountains are tall, steep, and there are almost no traces of human beings, but because of this, in the Natal Mountains, there are rich resources, not to mention minerals, all kinds of wild fruits, which are good materials for making fruit wine, as well as mushrooms, all kinds of wild vegetables, all kinds of dried fruits, wood and the like, needless to say, although these places are not suitable for human habitation, but for ogres and trolls, this is a good place to live, and now most of the places near the northwest in the Natal Mountains are occupied by ogres and troll tribes。

In the past, trolls didn't know how to plant, so Cook arranged for the troll tribe to grow fruits, pick mushrooms, magic herbs, burn charcoal and other techniques in the mountains, so that the ogres gradually got out of the life form of hunting, and this alone was enough to provide Cook with hundreds of millions of gold in trade.

"Your Excellency!" and just as Sebastian had said a word, a fat old man wearing the count's insignia greeted Cook with a glass of wine.

"Hello, Lord Earl!" Cook was so distressed, because tonight, these nobles and nobles were all lining up to greet him, and Cook had already drunk dozens of glasses of wine, but Cook looked at the more than 100 people waiting on the other side, and Cook knew that these 100 people were waiting to greet him.

"Hello, hello, Lord Duke, congratulations. The earl saw Cook raise his glass to himself, and said in a hurry.

"Thank you!" Cook took a sip with a smile, and watched the other party kill it directly, you must know that in the etiquette of the nobles, it is impolite to kill the wine in one sip, but Cook saw that the earl's excited hands were shaking, obviously too excited.

But tonight's waiter was clearly focused on Cook's side, and the earl had just been killed when a waiter came over with a tray of wine.

"Lord Duke, I want to find time to visit you, I wonder when you will have time?" the Count then realized that he had been rude, and asked in a stubborn whisper.

"Hehe, I have something to go out in a few days, so I'm afraid I don't have time. Cook replied with a smile.

"Well, that's for you. The earl was visibly disappointed by Cook's answer, and stammered in reply.

"But if you have anything, tell me now. Seeing the count's disappointed look, Cook immediately smiled.

"This, this, Lord Duke, thank you so much, thank you so much. The earl was obviously unprepared for such a turn of events, and bowed excitedly.

In the end, the earl came to Cook, nothing more than to sell the fruits and grains in his territory to the third floor of the underground world, you must know that now in the third layer of Danmo City in the underground world, there are already many nobles who have opened shops in it, originally humans occupied the first floor area of Danmo City, and now the periphery of the entire Danmo City has built a wall dozens of meters high. The area expanded to more than two kilometers, and the customers of these merchants were the elves of Drow who liked to buy fruits, ales, bread, and milk with precious metals such as precious stones and gold.

However, the third floor of the underground world is decided by Cook's Chamber of Commerce, and without the permission of the Cook Chamber of Commerce, he is not eligible to enter, although this qualification requires a huge amount of money, but Cook's Chamber of Commerce in order to ensure the interests of these nobles and chambers of commerce, so the quota is limited, and this quota is decided by Cook, and even Gerry only has the share of Jianyì, so this earl will find Cook.

"Thank you, thank you, Lord Duke, you are simply so generous, this is a little bit of my care. When the earl heard Cook's agreement, he was ecstatic and thanked him one after another, and then took out a list.

"You're breaking the bank. "Cook attended the appointment ceremony today, there is no way to receive gifts, and Cook is not excluded, because Cook knows that this is the relationship.

After this ceremony, the interests involved in Cook's death have become larger and more complex, and it can be said that Cook's every move now is related to the interests of countless people.

But Cook, as a party to the party, is not complacent in such a relationship, because Cook's eyes have long been out of this plane.

The day after Cook's ceremony, no one knew about Cook's whereabouts, and our Cook was now on his way to the Dimensional Alliance.

ps: Hehe, this volume is over again, legend, this is legend, Cook can now be said to be the first person on the continent, of course, Cook will not abandon the current plane, but the focus of future development has been shifted to the relationship with the various planes outside.
