After leaving the blacksmith shop, Meng Chen continued to the carpenter's shop and the leathersmith's shop.

Under the introduction of the chief carpenter and the chief leatherman, Meng Chen inspected the new equipment prepared for the marksmen—a strong bow and thick leather armor.

Refined Strongbow (White)

Firing range: 300 meters

Charge: C+

Toughness: C

Special Effect: +20% Range

Note: This is a refined strong bow, and people who are not strong enough will not be able to pull its bowstring!

Refined Thick Leather Armor (White)

Defense: D+

Tenacity: C-

Special Effect: Defense +10%

Note: This is a very good set of leather armor!

Since he had hunted dozens of female dragons some time ago, Meng Chen didn't need to worry about the material of the strong bow and thick leather armor for the time being.

After inspecting the production of weapons and equipment, Meng Chen came to the plantation in the east of the core city.

At this time, the first six plantations were already in the harvest season, and sixty farmers were busy harvesting grain.

In the following ten days, the remaining 14 plantations will also enter the harvest season one after another.

In half a month, the City of Hope will be able to increase its grain (gray) by 200,000 units, and the total amount of grain in the warehouse will reach 360,000 units.

Looking at the golden wheat field, Meng Chen secretly said in his heart: "There are still five and a half months before the evil moon comes. In other words, the plantation can grow another season of grain. ”

Back at the town hall, Meng Chen found that Alfred had been waiting in the town hall for a long time.

Meng Chen looked stunned and asked, "Alfred, is there something wrong?" ”

"My lord, the villagers are here again, and they are now outside the parapet of the mountain pass to the north." Alfred replied with a bow.

"The villagers? Could it be that a month ago, the villagers of Shanli Village who broke into Dilong Valley? Meng Chen was surprised.

Alfred nodded and said, "Yes! Your Lord! The crowd consisted of old men and big guys who had been seen that day. ”

"Mu Lao and Dashan? Come with me and see! Meng Chen got up and left the city hall.

A quarter of an hour later, Meng Chen and Alfred arrived at the northern mountain pass.

Due to the language barrier, the troops stationed in the northern mountain pass have entered a state of alert.

At the top of the two guard towers, three elite shooters are stationed at each of them.

Behind the gate of the parapet was a phalanx of twenty ordinary swordsmen and twenty elite swordsmen, and four three-bowed bed crossbows with good crossbows and arrows.

Note: When the parapet wall is built, the entrance to the gate has been reserved for installation. The gate of the parapet was made of a combination of blacksmiths and carpenters, and the structure was made of solid wood and iron.

Meng Chen walked up to the lookout and looked out of the parapet.

I saw that there were two ox carts fifty meters outside the parapet wall, and there were eight villagers standing next to the ox carts, including Mu Lao and Dashan.

"It's really them!"

Afterwards, Meng Chen ordered: "Hide the four bed crossbows and prepare to welcome the guests!" ”

"Yes! Your Lord! ”

。。。。。。

At this time, the villagers outside the parapet wall were gathering together to discuss.

A white-haired old man in a gray robe asked Mu Lao, "Second Mu Lao, it's been half an hour, why haven't they opened the door yet?" ”

Mu Lao replied helplessly: "Village Chief, those Ocellells don't understand us, now they should go to Little Brother Meng!" ”

The village chief wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and continued to ask, "Those Osser...... Riel, are you really willing to trade for weapons and armor? ”

Mu Lao nodded and said, "Village Chief, that little brother Meng said that as long as there are goods that make the hearts of Oseriel's people excited, no matter what weapons and equipment can be traded!" ”

Looking at the parapet not far away, the village chief asked curiously. "This pass has a parapet and a watchtower, how did you get in a month ago?"

Mu Lao replied with a strange expression: "When I came back from the mountain, there was no parapet wall or guard tower here, it should have been newly built recently. Right, Big Mountain? ”

Dashan touched his head and said, "That's right! When I came back, there was nothing here. ”

At this moment, the gate of the parapet slowly opened, and Meng Chen walked towards Mu Lao and the others with a smile on his face.

。。。。。。

Meng Chen smiled at Mu Lao: "Mu Lao, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?" ”

"Thank you Little Brother Meng for your concern!" Mu Lao laughed.

Then, Meng Chen arched his hand towards Dashan and said, "Has Brother Dashan's injuries ever healed?" Last time, Brother Dashan was innocently injured, and the commander was very upset, so he decided to compensate Brother Dashan for a set of armor, and hoped that Brother Dashan would not be surprised! ”

"Really?"

Dashan looked stunned, and then laughed and said, "That's because I am not good at learning the arts, how can I blame the commander?" I would also like to thank the Dr. of Hope Village, now that my injuries are all healed! ”

At this time, the village chief of Shanli Village glanced at Mu Lao, Mu Lao nodded understandingly, and said with a smile: "Little Brother Meng, I came here this time to make a deal with the Oserrel people, I don't know what Little Brother Meng said last time?" ”

Meng Chen nodded and said with a smile: "Of course count!" The leader of the Ocellells, the head of the Village of Hope, is willing to make fair deals with anyone. ”

"That's good! That's good! Mu Lao nodded again and again, and pointed to the cow lane beside him: "I'll wait ......."

Meng Chen patted his head and said busily: "It's negligence!" Please also enter the Earth Dragon Valley, and let's slowly discuss the transaction. ”

Then, Meng Chen bowed slightly and made a gesture of invitation.

Mu Lao smiled and said, "That's very good! ”

So, Meng Chen led eight villagers and two ox carts through the gate of the parapet and entered the Dilong Valley.

The place where Mu Lao and the others were received was located in the fortress hall a hundred meters behind the parapet.

Although the conditions are relatively simple, the advantage is that the place is large enough, and the tables and chairs are complete, and there is no shortage of tea.

After greeting each other for a while, Meng Chen, Mu Lao and the others sat down one after another.

At this moment, a soldier walked into the hall with a set of ring armor in his hand.

Meng Chen pointed to the ring armor in the soldier's hand and smiled at Dashan: "Dashan, this set of armor is the compensation given to you by the commander. Do you want to try it? ”

Dashan touched his head and smiled: "How is this embarrassing? This armor is too valuable, I still don't ...... Oops! ”

Just when Dashan wanted to refuse, Mu Lao and the village chief stepped on Dashan fiercely, and desperately glanced at Dashan.

Under the forced gaze of Mu Lao and the village chief, Dashan could only say aggrievedly: "Thank you, Brother Meng, you and the commander are good people!" ”

Meng Chen saw the small actions of Mu Lao and the village chief, but he didn't care.

This set of armor may be very valuable to Mu Lao and the others, but for Meng Chen, it is only 0.05 units of metal (white) and a blacksmith's labor for a day.

If he can use this set of armor to gain the friendship of Shanli Village, it will definitely be a big profit for Meng Chen.

After all, the humans of this world are a vulnerable group, and Meng Chen's biggest and strongest enemies are fierce beasts, or even ...... Monster!
