Scott turned his head with some difficulty, trying to see if the guest was teasing himself.

Thor looked at him with a smile and began to make up the story.

"I am a lord on the northern border, where there is poverty, backwardness, hardship, a harsh climate, and even the food is hard and tasteless. But everything is only temporary, the fall will always pass, and the desert will also fall cool rain. ”

"This earthly paradise never appears in a vacuum, it takes many, even generations, to create it with their hands and even their lives. The Tree of Liberty often needs blood to irrigate it, so we call it the 'City of Freedom'. ”

"The bullying you have suffered in human territory will not happen again. As for the disgust and hatred of humanity in your heart, I can understand it completely. Because I used to say to my companions that the more people I meet, the more I like dogs. ”

"In short, in Free City, you don't have to worry about your alien identity at all. All passionate friends are welcome there, regardless of race or identity, and are you interested in joining us in our quest for freedom?"

Saul held out a hand to Scott, as if he were making an introduction, as if he were inviting.

"I ...... My lord... I am honored that the humble Scott is willing to follow you by your side, and willingly be driven by you to be loyal to you to death. Scott's words were a little choked, as if he felt that his words were a little pale, and the whole person directly bowed his head and fell to his knees in the snow.

"Well, I look forward to your future activity. Saul smiled and stepped forward and pulled Scott up from the ground.

Even Scott himself didn't expect that on an inconspicuous snowy day, his fate would suddenly change.

With the impression of returning to the empty house in the alley, because this trip to buy food was smooth and took a short time, so the door of this secret realm of others has not yet been closed. It's very convenient, and it also saves a secret realm scroll.

Scott followed Thor with a fanatical face, through the reincarnation dungeon, to the ...... Well, maybe it's the 'Free Village', at least that's what it looks like for now.

Although it was not full of bustling eyes and no bustling carriages, Scott was still enthusiastic after getting used to it. He has been in human territory for many years, and he can be considered to have some insight.

There must be many opportunities in the construction process of the territory at the moment, and if you follow the lord yourself, you can be considered a participant at the moment. He had seen similar situations in other territories before, but those things had never had anything to do with his small alien race.

What's more, the atmosphere here is really like what the lord said, and it doesn't exclude other races.

This could be felt in the eyes of the people observing themselves, for a small goblin like him, those eyes were more curious, but not the naked disgust and disdain of other places.

Back in the realm, Thor invited everyone to dinner in the Lord's Palace, which was actually a mansion that was no different from a commoner. This dinner can be regarded as a short-term work exchange.

During the banquet, the three first-order squad leaders who were newly promoted to management in the territory, the Tannar family, and Stante Dillebeth were all there. Pretty much all the available manpower is here, and even the little goblin from Raz has been mixed in.

The little goblin often helps Beth at the distribution point, and Beth has a good impression of her, but Thor suspects that the real reason is that women have always had little resistance to these fluffy little things, let alone the same sex.

Before the meal, Beth asks Solraz if she can participate, and Saul doesn't think it's a big problem. Originally, the theme of the banquet was all aspects of the construction of the territory and future planning, and there were no secrets, and Raz could also bring the news back to appease the goblin clan if he listened to it.

Originally, the old village chief of the ash stump was also invited, but the old man said that he was only temporarily pushed to the front row by the villagers at that time. At this age, he would rather enjoy the peace and tranquility of the territory than management, and Thor did not force this.

"Thank you all for coming here today, and for the support you have given me in the daily affairs of the territory, thank you!"

Thor picked up the vat and toasted with everyone at the table before getting down to business.

"I came here in the middle of this autumn, so I didn't have time to do much for the time being, but next year, it will be a year when the pace of development of the territory will be accelerated. ”

"First of all, we have to decide on the name of the province today, and then we will have our own real garrison in the future. Due to the total population of the current territory, the conscription can be postponed, but the team name can be decided today. ”

"Now let's think about the naming of the territory and the team, and feel free to make their own suggestions and speak freely. ”

After Saul's words fell, everyone at the table fell into thought.

In fact, the naming of the territory is such a thing, according to the way of other territories, this territory is directly called 'Thor's territory', but obviously the lord doesn't want that name, in fact, Thor really doesn't have any vanity to satisfy.

In the end, everyone discussed it, and they all said that this kind of thing should still be decided by the lord himself, as for the 'Blue Mushroom Territory' and 'Blackberry Territory' proposed by Linda and Raz, they were directly ignored by everyone.

Thor was not polite, thought for a moment, and spoke according to his predetermined train of thought.

"So be it, the territory will be temporarily named 'Free City' in the future, and in the future, when the territory size expands to a certain extent, it will be renamed 'Free Lands', and the team name will be tentatively 'Scarlet Cross'. ”

Hearing Thor's name, everyone's expressions were different, especially Beth and Stant, who had a little experience, and a flash of brilliance flashed in their eyes. The two names may sound unremarkable, but Beth and the others know the deeper meaning behind them.

First of all, the Land of the Free is obviously aimed at the Freedom Alliance in the North, and with Thor's experience of being born in the South, the Scarlet Cross is undoubtedly also meant to fight against the Dark Cross, which is equivalent to directly arguing with the two largest forces in the North and South.

Of course, it's just a joke, after all, the current size of the territory is still far from the 'city', and it is a village at best, but from these names, Thor's determination is actually clear.

Only a few people who know anything about Thor like Beth can chew on the meaning.

After the name of the province was decided, Thor continued to arrange the arrangement for next year.

"The focus of next year's development is roughly in several aspects, the first is the preparation for spring ploughing, and this winter we must lead the people to open up the farmland that is expected to be needed. Moreover, the number of acres can only be as large as possible, and I have already purchased the seeds of the crops. ”

"Food has always been a long-term problem for every territory, and my request is that in the future, the amount of grain harvested in the territory must catch up with the current population, and then surpass, leaving room for the new population in the future. ”

"At the same time, animal husbandry and various breeding industries should also be gradually developed in the territory, of course, the relevant cattle and livestock or better farm tools will be solved by me, and you can also reflect to me in time if you encounter any detailed problems. ”

"In addition, next year there will be various workshops in the territory, such as blacksmiths, carpenters, tanners, mills, etc., which are related to daily life, and then pharmacists, herbaries, doctors, ready-to-wear shops, taverns and even jewelry stores will appear. ”

"As for the introduction and settlement of relevant talents, it will also be up to me to figure out how to do it. ”

"In terms of the construction of the people's life, from next year onwards, there will be a gradual shift to more regular stone houses, and all the old wooden houses will be eliminated into warehouses and the like. As for the direction of the expansion of the territory, it extends to the ash stump and the swamp to the west at the same time. ”

"Architectural talents dig in the territory first, if I don't have a way to solve it. ”

"And then most importantly, when the winter is over and next spring, the fairs in the realm will be built, and then the realm will be open for trade, and there will be trade with other realms. ”

"In terms of garrison strength, from next spring, it will no longer be a simple physical training. Teams will enter the wilderness for more brutal trials and clearings of threats around the realm. ”

Thor said it in one breath, and everyone at the table was talking, with some expectation and longing in their eyes. If what the lord said can be realized, you can imagine what kind of excitement the territory will be in the future.

These are all planned by Thor in advance, but it is currently in the cold winter, and some things are not easy to carry out for the time being.

At present, there are undoubtedly three major directions in the territory: population, trade, and war, and these three things seem to have independent directions, but they are actually closely related to each other.

For example, population determines the number of conscriptions, the liveliness of trade, the size of the territory and the degree of future construction.

As for trade, it is necessary to wait for himself and Beth Stant to solve the financial problem in the early spring, and then to ensure that there are sufficient goods and funds flowing in the territory, which is also the main way to improve the quality of life of the people.

In terms of military training, daily physical training is no longer meaningful, and everyone must be driven into the wilderness and tempered by blood and fire before they can obtain real combat strength. Many people will surely die by then, so the rate of population growth will have to keep up.

As for the impact of the name of the territory, or the attitude of other territories after the flow of information through trade, it belongs to the territory diplomacy and needs to be considered in the future.

This banquet was the first more formal meeting since Thor became a lord, and everyone at the table was flying with knives and forks, and the atmosphere of conversation with each other was harmonious and warm.

During the dinner, Saul also introduced the new member Scott to everyone, and Scott was flattered and humbled by everyone's welcome.

"Things are still not ripe in the territory, how about you help Beth at the distribution point first?" Thor asked Scott's opinion.

Thor is going to wait and see for a while, and if this goblin character is passable, let him gradually take charge of the trade. Saul felt that Scott still had some ideas and experience, and it was difficult to judge his business skills for the time being.

"Yes, my lord, I will do as I am told. Scott bowed his head gratefully, eager to get into the work now.
