Compared with the opportunity for great achievements, land is too cheap.
Malachite stammered, wanting to dissuade Noita from wasting her reward on such useless things, but it was not her responsibility to remind her of this. She needed to think about the problem from the association's perspective.
Malachite then replied to Noita in a standard format: "I don't know anything about this. Do you need me to connect you with an actuary?"
The association's actuaries specialize in economic matters and have a much better understanding of similar issues than ordinary people.
Noita nodded.
Malachite then took out a voice stone and handed it to Noita, then changed the communication channel and connected with the actuary team. She stated Noita's needs, stating that this was a question from a transcendent and required a precise answer.
Actuaries demonstrated their professionalism and quickly provided answers.
"It's impossible to obtain ownership of land within the city. In theory, all land within the city is owned by the Council of Elders, and the Serkars only have the right to use it. However, in practice, the terms are ambiguous. Land in the inner city is strictly controlled, while land in the outer city is widely traded."
"As for the land outside the city, you only need to pay a small amount of money to claim it. However, please note that the land you purchase should not be too close to Serkar City. Serkar City is still expanding. If the land you purchase is designated as part of the city, the Council of Elders has the right to directly expropriate the land without any compensation."
"Similar incidents abound in the history of Serkar City's expansion."
"Then may I ask, sir, do you prefer the land within the city, or the uncultivated wasteland outside?"
Recalling the player's discovery of the land of Serkar in the game, Noita asked: "If I buy wasteland outside the city and accidentally discover precious minerals or ancient ruins buried under the land, who will own them?"
"Of course it's you, sir." The actuary's tone was soothing and flattering. "You are a distinguished transcendent. It's understandable that there are some unusual objects on the land you purchased. They are destined for you. Otherwise, how could these objects not be discovered when others pass by these lands?"
"They were born to be yours."
When the atmosphere was almost settled, Noita asked again, "What if I want to purchase the land use rights in the outer city area?"
“The normal method is to purchase it with money under the notarization of the city hall.”
There are many abnormal means.
The actuary then told Noita various illegal methods of acquiring land.
Eye-opening.
After a long conversation, the actuary relaxed and said, "If you are willing to become an elder of Serkar, you don't have to worry about these things. There are many people who are willing to voluntarily donate land and become your vassal."
There are numerous guilds in Serkar, and many possess wealth but lack the power to make the final decision. Most of these guilds rely on the elders, seeking political support and financial support. Wingard meticulously collaborated with various factions, colluding with the Bloodlust Cult, solely to achieve extraordinary success and secure a seat on the elders' throne.
If Noita becomes an elder of Serkar, many obstacles to outsiders will no longer exist.
She asked, "What do I need to do to obtain the elder seat?"
There was a clang, and suddenly there was a chaotic chorus of greetings from the other side, and the room suddenly became very lively. It seemed that the actuary who was in contact with Noita had fallen down due to a stool falling down.
"My Lord, I only said this, and you should just listen to it. Don't take it to heart."
"Tell me about it. I'm very interested."
The actuary had a toothache, and her colleagues gathered around her, exchanged information with their eyes, and then quickly wrote out the answers for her to read out.
At this point the actuary was in a difficult position.
While they were trying to help Noita figure out his doubts, news came from above that this extraordinary person was a member of the association and had already reserved a high-level seat, but it had not yet been announced to the public.
If this gentleman is moved by what she said and wants to go to Serkar to be an elder, then this group of people will be in trouble.
She was almost crying, but tears were shed as she spoke. "Elder Serkar has several requirements. First, you need to be a Transcendent. Second, you need someone to recommend and sponsor you. Then, one-third of the elders need to vote for your admission. This is the Elder Council's external statement. The specific requirements are similar, and there are also implicit requirements such as contributions and being a local."
It's quite troublesome, but it can be done with some thought.
The girl looked around gracefully, her eyes as clear as water gently looking at Malachite.
"Malachite, I want these actuaries to be my subordinates. How do I apply?"
This group of people knows a lot and can be brought under your command and exploited.
As soon as Malachite was seen by Noita, she knew that she had something to say, and fortunately, it was a simple request.
"I'll file an application for you. You should get a response in about three days. Also, do you really want to use the compensation to purchase land in Serkar?"
"Yes, for fun."
"Your will."
The association would be responsible for selecting which lands to purchase. Some time later, Malachite accompanied Noita out of the camp and walked back to the Silver Peak Nest.
To date, no portal has been able to reliably cross the boundary between Typhon's dreams and reality, so portals were built inside the border.
When approaching the border of the dream, Noita suddenly saw a lighthouse more than ten meters high standing on the edge of the dream. The top of the tower flashed the light of reason, soothing the restless atmosphere in the dream and stabilizing an area in the dream so that it would not change like the AI-synthesized video.
Many adventurers who have returned from expeditions rest near the buildings near the lighthouse, letting the light of the lighthouse drive away their fatigue and stress.
The atmosphere here is different from most places in the dream. It is peaceful, harmonious and stable, just like a calm lake on the island when the ocean is experiencing violent storms.
The lighthouse may not seem high, but its radiation range is actually very far, and the camp is also within its effective radiation area.
This is exactly what Project Lighthouse was created for.
Chapter 250: Insectology
Noita looked up at the lighthouse, feeling the warm current radiating from the core of the lighthouse, his eyes were far away, as if he saw the future through it.
In the game, products similar to the lighthouse will not appear until a year later. At that time, the major event "The Long Dream of the Old Gods" has officially begun. Records from Typhon's dream walk freely in the Dark Moon Land, greeting the world with courage and strength, making the destructive struggle submerged in the tide of history appear again in the world.
In order to reduce the almost endless threat of records, Serkar and Chongtianling cooperated to develop the "Lighthouse" to bridge the gap between reality and the dream of Typhon and reduce the frequency of dream records appearing on the earth.
Now, before the big event breaks out, the lighthouse has already come into being. With the support of the association's strong financial resources, it is quickly applied to the edge of the dream to create a continuous safe zone.
Noita stopped by the roadside, looked at the lighthouse from a distance for a while, then left and crossed the boundary with Malachite.
A biting cold wind blew in my face, and snowflakes fluttered down. However, before they could get close to Noita, they were melted and evaporated by the overwhelming heat, and slowly returned to the sky, waiting for the moment to be born again.
After Yue Han activated the Yuefantianguan, the violent sunlight was mixed with Noita's magic due to the gift of Doudoutian, making her body temperature as hot as a furnace. This problem has not been solved yet.
The ground created by civil engineers using solid ice and loose soil constantly produced harsh crackling sounds, and it was feared that it would break soon.
Noita sighed helplessly, used his psychic skills to lift himself up, and rode the wind. The ground mixed with ice and rocks finally stabilized from its precarious state.
Arriving in reality, her advanced teleportation skills were no longer restricted, and she could go anywhere in the Silver Peak Lair.
She flew high in the sky, briefly identified the direction, and informed Malachite: "I'll go ahead. If you need anything, come to Silver Peak to find me."
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl disappeared and when she reappeared, she was already outside the Silver Peak.
The girl fell into the lake around Silver Peak. Her arrival caused the ice elements nurtured in the ice lake to float to the shallow layer. They silently observed Noita, and after sensing the scent of Luhua on her clothes, they lingered there for a long time before falling to the bottom of the lake again.
Noita ignored them and flew straight to the Silver Peak, landing on the white stone steps.
Almost at the same time as she entered the range of Silver Peak, a power that had been hidden for a long time and ignored by her suddenly revealed its true appearance, and the authority that Luhua transferred to her broke away from the dreamlike and ethereal state and became a reality.
Log refresh information.
You enter the territory of Silver Peak. Luhua nominates you to succeed the shaman position. Your nomination is approved, and the shaman authority is successfully transferred. Insectology is activated, and the natural language opens the treasure house to you. From now on, you can borrow the power of Silver Peak at will.
[Luhua wants to transfer the thousands of sounds she has collected to you. Will you accept them?]
Noita officially became a shaman and inherited the authority of Luhua, while Luhua also left something for her.
Without hesitation, Noita chose to receive Luhua's voice.
The advancement of insect music studies is a process of listening and understanding. In the past, shamans lived in Silver Peak. While comprehending the art of silence, they also resonated with Silver Peak, picked up the sounds of nature, and improved the level of shamanic language.
Luhua handed over the sounds she picked up to Noita, which meant that she shared her understanding of insect music with Noita.
Countless secrets and knowledge fell into Noita's skull and then into the diary. At this moment, Noita and Yinfeng achieved resonance. The originally gray insect music science suddenly shone brightly. Hundreds of melodies sounded in the diary at the same time, numerous but not chaotic, and harmonious like the music of the world.
All things began to sing, and at this moment Noita seemed to be able to hear the sounds of all things.
The vision of understanding the great art is about to come into being, and the silver peaks are rustling, composing a hymn for the comprehender that has never been heard before and will never be heard again.
However, an invisible force gently covered up the song, so that the vision could only be played in the exquisite and grand dream. Only Noita could listen to this music that belonged to her.
The art of insect music climbed all the way to level 3, and then stopped.
This is the limit of shared perception, and even Luhua has not reached a deeper level.
The breeze blew the forest sound, and after the enlightenment, Luhua's phantom quietly landed in front of Noita and said cunningly: "Are you surprised to see me, Noita?"
The girl was surprised, and the next moment, a familiar force enveloped Noita and sent her to Luhua's cave.
Just like a flower cave in midsummer, Luhua is smiling.
"I thought you would think this was an illusion. You've guessed correctly, cleverly. I am a dream that Luhua left behind in Yinfeng. I'm specifically responsible for guiding you on how to utilize the power of the contract, assisting you in handling matters that may be difficult for you, and buying you a buffer period."
Noita rubbed his head and said, "So you are a heartless answering machine."
"Yes, but not ruthlessly. If you have any objections to this, I can switch to humorous mode and ensure that every sentence contains a joke and a harmonious pun."
"no!"
Noita refused sternly.
"What a shame." Lu Hua said regretfully and turned to the main topic, "Let's get back to the point. Do you have any questions now?"
“Is your answer authentic and trustworthy?”
"I was born to answer questions, not to lie."
Noita understood and immediately asked, "Can we really find a way to save Yinfeng in the deep dream?"
"I believe in the Oracle Singer."
This is Luhua's hope. Mengmengtian is a god who favors wise creatures. As far as life is concerned, he belongs to the side of the good god, and his credibility is unquestionable.
The oracle singer is the agent of Dream Heaven on earth. His words are equivalent to the will of Dream Heaven, and no false words are allowed.
Noita had a headache. The oracle singer would not tell lies, but he was really crazy.
The third major event after the Long Dream of the Old Gods and the War of Nations, "The Vision of Ascension", was promoted by the Oracle Singer of Dream Sky. She wanted to penetrate the barrier between reality and virtuality and flood the world with endless spiritual energy. With this power, she recast Gaia and enabled all mankind to ascend.
After knowing this, in Noita's eyes, it was hard to say what the oracle singer's purpose was in letting Luhua go to the deep dream.
However, this matter is too far away, and we cannot interfere with it with our current strength.
Noita shook it out of her mind and asked again, "When can you come back?"
"I'm not sure. No one knows what the world of deep dreams is like, or what the ratio of time to reality is. Maybe I can come back tomorrow, or maybe I'll never come back. If I'm not back when the Holy Mountain is in danger, run for your life, but remember to take Wuhua with you!"
"I see."
Noita tugged at her sleeve and asked, "Tell me how to use your contract."
"This thing is easy to use and can solve your predicament." Luhua stretched out her hand and pointed, and an illusory breath spread. The heat that was constantly radiating from Noita's body suddenly disappeared, and her body surface temperature dropped to a level that she would not be burned if touched with her hands.
But the body temperature is still burning.
Chapter 251 Rewarding Punishment
Lowering body temperature to disguise oneself as a normal person is just a trivial power evolved from Luhua's skills. Noita still has a long way to go before she can master the power that Luhua left in the contract.
Afterwards, Noita's main body stayed in Silver Peak, and she split her psychic avatars into different places and took over Luhua's business under her guidance.
The association still doesn't know that Luhua has gone to the deep dream, and only thinks that Luhua's behavior of reducing her own influence is paving the way for Noita.
While they were busy, one of Noita's avatars disguised himself and left the Silver Peak Lair. He moved using advanced teleportation techniques and landed precisely at Adele's house, landing on the familiar bed.
After Noita became a transcendent, her mirror self was further improved. Her psychic incarnation could travel thousands of miles without dissipating. She could also adjust the strength of her psychic incarnation freely and summon weak incarnations with a small amount of power to reduce consumption.
This psychic avatar only shares the abilities of Greater Teleportation and Incitement.
Although she is actually not afraid of consumption.
The girl's room was tidy and the layout was the same as when Noita left. There was no accumulated dust. It was obvious that the owner of the house wiped the furniture from time to time to ensure that Noita could move in immediately when she returned.
A bit stupid.
If it were Noita, she would probably just cover the furniture with a thin film, and keep the floor dusty but not too dirty, so that when someone came back, she would have to sleep in the same room with him.
Adele still doesn't understand these little details.
This way she will control you for the rest of your life.
Noita jumped out of bed humming a song happily, and saw the snacks she had bought before next to the bedside table. The honey-orange sugar bricks, peanut candies and other small snacks were neatly stacked together, which was very pleasing to the eye.
She picked up a piece at random, peeled off the package and put it in her pocket, then took a bite, squinted her eyes happily, and walked quietly out of the house.
The house was empty. Le Jia and Wei Lin hadn't returned home yet, and Adele was working at the Pious Union. Outside, the wisteria vines flowed like a waterfall. Though their spirits had waned somewhat with the arrival of winter, the owner's loving care more than made up for the season's shortcomings.
The plants on the flower racks were moved indoors, and the warm room temperature kept them alive.
Noita pinched the leaves and flowers of the green plants and added some psychic hormones for them to taste so that they would be more energetic and bloom more beautiful flowers next year.
