Rise of the Plants

Cold sweat broke out on Gray Hair's head. Although his current status was not low, that was because he was good at sneaking into camps. In an empire where most people don't like to work hard, it's easy for people like him to improve their status.

But it is precisely because of this that Gray Hair is looked down upon by many people. His reputation was even worse among the imperial nobility.

Around the imperial capital, many people know what Gray Hair is, and there are too many people who don't like him.

If he couldn't answer this question well, then he would be done with it as a commander. Once he loses his current status, I'm afraid many blows will follow. Who made him offend so many people?

"Yes, Gray Fur, what do you mean? When did the residents of the half-elf empire have to be divided into different levels? Who gave you such power? Could it be that your status is higher than ours?"

There are still a few small half-elf nobles nearby, and they have been unhappy with people like Gray Hair for a long time.

Cold sweat broke out on Gray Mao's head. Suddenly, Gray Mao realized that he could not go on like this.

So Gray Hair shouted loudly: "You are distorting it. I didn't say that. It is my duty to maintain the security of the imperial capital. Of course I have to come and take a look when you have so many people gathering here."

Are you planning to avoid the topic? Chi Nan rolled his eyes. He could finally see that this gray-haired man was actually an idiot despite his arrogance and his seemingly low status.

Yes, after all, this is the half-elf empire. Most of the half-elves are very simple. How can they be compared with the old people on the human side? Gray fur is like this, maybe it is already quite remarkable.

Chi Nan didn't even bother to regard such an idiot as an enemy. "So, what do you want to do."

Chi Nan looked at this guy with interest. Now Chi Nan's mentality had changed, and his eyes seemed to care for the mentally retarded.

Gray Hair took a deep breath: "Have you paid taxes? You cannot do business in the imperial capital without paying taxes."

Chi Nan rolled his eyes. This time it was not Chi Nan who spoke, but Orna who was next to him and walked over. There is also a book in his hand, the title of which is the Codex of the Half-Elf Empire.

Orna pointed to the provisions in the book and said: "The laws of the Half-Elf Empire stipulate that half-elves who are invited are distinguished guests, and guests do not need to pay taxes when doing business within the scope of the Half-Elf Empire."

It is clearly written on it, but it seems that most people have never understood the law very well, and the same is true for the people around them. But after seeing this solid evidence, everyone knew it.

Now, Hui Mao was too embarrassed to see anyone. "Hmph, you don't even understand the law and you come out to enforce the law. I really don't know how you became the commander of the God's Guard. I must report it and let people investigate it."

"Count me in. I've long disliked this guy. I think he has more jackal blood."

This is already considered a curse. After all, half-elves have impure blood, and they rarely use blood to speak out.

At this time, Hui Mao couldn't stay any longer. "Very good, I remember you. We will continue to follow up and investigate this matter. I hope you won't break the law here. Let's go."

I have become a joke today. If I continue to stay here, I may not even be able to keep my status. Gray Hair continued to go back quickly, touching it up and down.

As long as you act quickly, there is no problem in maintaining your position. Hui Mao never thought that he would be forced to this extent by an outsider. Originally, he had a bad reputation, and Gray Hair knew it.

But it doesn't matter if it has a bad reputation. As long as it doesn't completely explode, it won't cause any trouble.

But this time, his bad reputation was completely exploded by an outsider, causing him to become the center of the topic. Once this happens, his position will not be preserved. After all, this is a half-elf empire, which is different from humans. All half-elves are equal. If public dissatisfaction boils over, no one can protect themselves.

When they saw Hui Mao leaving in despair, cheers erupted from below. It seems that this guy here is really unpopular. Chi Nan's lips curled up slightly, and he quickly put the matter behind him.

I came here not to show off, but to expand trade. Territory development is the next step. The most important thing is to obtain some special plants that you need. This is the real key.

In the past few days, Chi Nan has collected many special local plants. Although the effect is not too great, or he has not found a specific effect, it is already very good.

There is also a silver-level plant that secretes a super powerful anesthetic that is not harmful to the human body. Using this, Chi Nan can replace the high-end anesthetics he uses. The harvest this time is worth the price of the trip here.

Unfortunately, there is still no trace of the needed golden plant. It seems that gold-level plants are very rare even in the half-elf empire. Chi Nan had no choice but to slowly think of a solution.

The next few days were very peaceful, and Chi Nan also found out that because Huimao was attacked by public opinion, he jumped up and down and tried to make connections everywhere, so that he could barely maintain his position.

It is said that in order to maintain his position, Hui Mao has spent nearly half of his family property, but there are still many unfavorable remarks about Hui Mao from the outside world. Gray Hair has almost become hairless these days. I heard that half of the hair on his head was pulled out by himself. Unfortunately, he didn't see Huimao, so Chi Nan didn't know how this guy was doing.

Speaking of which, even Chi Nan himself had never thought that he could cause such big trouble to Hui Mao with just a few words.

Sure enough, within these empires of equality and freedom, the influence of public opinion is extraordinary.

Because of this incident, Sophila had new ideas. In the past few days, even if he wanted to let Sophila stay with him, he didn't have time, and Chi Nan was terribly depressed.

In the end, Chi Nan had no choice but to propose the concept of a newspaper and hand it over to Sophila.

Well, Sophila suddenly transformed into the media queen, and all her thoughts were on the newspaper. He plans to start a newspaper business after returning and control the public opinion within the entire Holy Tree Territory.

"Oh my god, both wives are strong women, what should I do?" Chi Nan was about to cry but had no tears. If I had known this earlier, I shouldn't have been so angry with Huimao in the first place, so what if I let him get some advantages?

Because of this incident, even the increasingly popular business scene felt boring to Chi Nan.
