Death Notice

Chapter 81: urban management

Views:

The administrators of the Apostle City are the intelligent race of the Shattered Starry Sky. Their authority is based on the city code, and they have the judicial and administrative power on the surface.

The Metropolitan Code was originally formulated by the top-level apostolic team. Over the long years, it has undergone several revisions and major rectifications, and it has been able to cover all aspects of the entire city relatively completely. The codes of each apostle city are different, and the codes of the Devil's Horn also have some characteristics of their own.

Based on this city code, the intelligent race that manages the city formed a security team and an administrative agency, responsible for coordinating and managing the apostle city. Due to the particularity of the apostles, imprisonment and trial are useless. For illegal incidents, Devil's Horn mainly has law enforcement measures such as fines, confiscation of employment points, and expulsion of urban resident status.

Of course, due to the limited strength of the security team, it is not enough to supervise and control the high-level apostles. At this time, other high-level apostles will take over.

In the city of the apostles, Qin Lun guessed that the strong bullying the weak and the strong preying on the strong were unavoidable. Of course, people who can become official apostles will not be too weak in mind. As long as they are not enemies of life and death, they will generally not go too far, and even if they insist on bullying the weak, everyone will appear very low-key.

What's interesting is that the low-key that Belushis said was not aimed at the law enforcers by the high apostles, but at the weak they bullied.

The strength of the apostles changes very quickly. The current weak ones may become strong after a few missions from other worlds. Among the apostles, there is no strong person who is always on top. Sometimes, if a mission from another world fails, the high-ranking apostle will be severely injured and turn from a strong person to a weak person again. Even those god-level apostles in ancient times disappeared in the long years, and no one knew what happened to them.

Most of the apostles in the city of apostles would use masks and cloaks to hide their identities. Before confirming the strength of their opponents, there were very few mentally retarded people who deliberately provoke others.

For the apostle of the Devil's Horn, there is no so-called temptation. Once the provocation starts, the winner must be decided. A coward who retreats without going through a fight will soon be swallowed up by others, until every bit of broken crystal in his body is drained.

"Listen to you, even if you can hide your identity, there seems to be no benefit for a low-level apostle in the Devil's Corner. Even if you just want to exchange experience with other apostles, it is easy to be aware of your true strength, and you will be in danger!" Qin Lun frowned slightly. , looked at the old devil strangely.

"Hehe, in fact, the low-level apostles can only grow the fastest in the apostle city. The cheap equipment eliminated by the high-level apostles, detailed information on missions in other worlds, rich and colorful urban employment missions, various arenas and training grounds. Fighting..." Beluces shook his head with a smile.

"There is no single-race floating city that can provide low-level apostles with so much content and choices! As for safety, low-level apostles will receive a certain degree of shelter in each apostle city.

The same is true for the horn of the devil. A certain urban employment task of the high-level apostle team is to track down the criminals who persecute the low-level apostles. Once found out, the punishment will be very severe, and even the resident status of the apostle city may be revoked immediately. "

"The resident status you mentioned, and the city points..." Qin Lun asked suspiciously with a flash of his eyes.

"The apostle residents of Devil's Horn are divided into three categories. One is the permanent residents, who account for about half of the city's population, and the second is the semi-permanent population. Although these apostles also have residences in the apostle city, they often still live there. They will return to live in the original floating city. These two types of residents can have the official status of Devil's Horn!"

Beluces paused for a moment, then continued, "The last type is the wandering apostle, this kind of apostle has not been recommended by the administrator race, and is only temporarily stationed in the Devil's Horn, and most of them will leave after completing the transaction or after a period of time. Of course, they can also obtain official residence rights by completing city employment tasks and accumulating city points!"

"As for city points, it involves urban employment missions. There are many types of employment missions, some of which are issued by the apostles themselves, and the content is generally information, special items, teaching of specific knowledge, martial arts training, etc. The points of these missions Paid by the apostles themselves, the governing body takes care of the custody!

There are also some employment missions issued by the management organization of Devil's Horn. The content of the missions is more complicated, including war employment in other floating cities, caravan guards, assassinations...anything is possible. "

"What can city points be used for?" Qin Lun asked curiously.

"In Devil's Corner, city points are a kind of hard currency. Even the high-level apostle team and the management council have no right to increase or decrease city points. City points are generated with the operation of the apostle city, and every point of city points is generated They all correspond to the broken crystals or equipment items of the apostles." Beluces said solemnly.

It turns out that the apostle will have a lot of consumption in the Devil's Horn. Living, food, equipment repair, medicine replenishment, etc., all need to pay a certain amount of currency to the Devil's Horn. Moreover, the Apostle City does not accept the currency of the Broken Starry Sky, but only accepts the special currency of the apostles. For example: broken crystals, soul spars, equipment items...

Although city points cannot be used outside, they are an indispensable currency in the apostle city. It can be used to issue missions and purchase special services that can only be provided by certain apostle cities. For example: invite alchemists trained in the city to synthesize equipment, use skill training grounds, hire life-like followers, etc.

The quantity and quality of apostles in an apostle city represent the hard power of the city, while the accumulated city points belong to the soft power. These points are usually saved more than consumed, and neither the high-level apostle team nor the management council has the power to use them.

Only when the apostle city releases a large-scale employment mission, the city points will be consumed in large quantities.

This usually happens, either because the apostle city has received challenges from other apostle cities, or because the race of managers it belongs to has encountered foreign invasion and needs the apostle city to fulfill its duty of protection.

"Excluding the service staff of the intelligent race, the apostles of the Devil's Horn are generally maintained at about 20,000. The city points stored in the city hall reached one million last month. During the management of the demon race, the city points increased by 100,000 More than enough." Beluces said proudly, "The main reason why those elves have fallen into the current situation is because they lost a full 50,000 city points during their management period."

In a city of 20,000 people, the amount of main currency is only one million, which means that an average person only has 50 city points. Qin Lun raised his eyebrows, the old devil's words revealed two pieces of information to Qin Lun.

One million coins cannot meet the consumption and circulation of the entire city anyway. This not only shows the preciousness of the city points, but also one-sidedly shows that there are many private transactions between the official apostles, which have not been approved by the city officials. There are common currencies such as Broken Crystals and Exchange Tickets.

As for the elves... Qin Lun glanced at Beluces indifferently. The old man's words concealed a lot of things. Even if the elves didn't have business acumen, they wouldn't lose so much money.

In fact, he guessed right. In the years when the elves were in charge of the management, there happened to be an elves war between the night elves and the night elves. Although the apostle city has fulfilled its war obligations, the consumption of city points is unavoidable.

What's more, this war is for the elves themselves, and the replacement of the main management power has become inevitable, and there is a sense of fate.

The elves were also psychologically prepared to lose their main management rights, but they did not expect that the demons would unite with the other three management races to exclude them from the council of managers.

Under the management of the Demon Clan, the Apostle City has achieved remarkable results. After deducting the mission consumption, it has gained a full 100,000 city points in just a few years. Even without that war, the performance of the Demon Race is better than that of the Elf Race.

Under such a premise, and there were no intelligent races from other lawful camps in the council of managers, the elves fell into a desperate situation all of a sudden. In fact, the elves have tried their best to import the apostles from the floating city into the apostle city in the past few years to win the hearts of the city, but they seem powerless in the face of the alliance of the four major management races.

The moon night elves understand that they must not lose the management rights of the apostle city, otherwise the racial influence will be knocked down by a class immediately.

What does it mean to have the management right of an apostle city? This means that there are 20,000 official apostles and hundreds of high-level apostles standing behind the Moon Night Elf. Before the destruction of the Devil's Horn, no race could defeat the Night Elves in battle.

Losing the protection of the Apostle City is equivalent to losing the nuclear umbrella of the ancient Hua Kingdom. This is the Achilles' heel of the Moon Night Elves, and it is an unbearable burden.

"By the way, you said just now that the new apostle just needs to follow a principle to gain a foothold in the Devil's Corner. What do you mean?" Qin Lun recovered from his association and looked at the old devil calmly.

"Hehe, you already know just now that as long as your identity is well concealed, under normal circumstances, you will not be deliberately provoked." Beluces said with a smile, "But if you have already been involved in disputes, then you must be careful not to put yourself His apostle number has been leaked!"

Qin Lun lowered his head and pondered. In the corner of the devil, whether he is bullying or being bullied, there will obviously be countless grievances and grievances. The apostles have many abilities, many have similar skills and combat skills, and their body shape and appearance can also be changed at any time. Even if you are involved in a robbery, as long as you keep a low profile, nothing will happen.

If the unique apostle number is revealed, the city punishment is fine, it is nothing more than some broken crystals, but if it is hated by other apostles, it will not be a trivial matter.

This reminder from the old devil may be the most important point of all information.
