Rand felt that the situation of the empty collar was changing for the better recently, the ore produced in the mine was increasing day by day, and in order to avoid some miners from being passive miners at work, Rand deliberately changed the fixed salary to metering, the more work the miners worked, the more they were paid, and the guys who were originally mixed in the team were kicked out of the mining team.

When the labor put in is directly proportional to the result of the harvest, the miners show great enthusiasm for their work.

"My lord, the town of the wooden house is impregnable, and the barbarians and beasts have been defeated several times, and we have achieved an unprecedented victory. With an excited look on his face, Touron was updating Rand on the latest situation.

"But the leader of the unified barbarian tribe has not been seen," Touron said, shrugging his shoulders, "perhaps knowing that our firepower is strong enough, he has abandoned his plan to plunder the town of Cabins." ”

Rand shook his head, pointing to the rudimentary map in front of him, on which the location of the Cabin Town was marked with a red dot, "This is our location, located in the south of the Arctic Mountains, and to the east and west is a dangerous dense jungle, within a few hundred kilometers, the Cabin Town is the only village and town inhabited by humans, and it has enough resources and food, unless the barbarians can find another human habitat to plunder, they will definitely not give up." ”

The first victory in the defense against the barbarians was simple, but Rand did not weaken his defense against the race, and the fact that the powerful barbarian of the unified tribe had not shown up was a thorn in his heart, and anyone who could become a leader deserved attention.

"Lord Snow hasn't returned from the Arctic Mountains yet?" Rand calculated, it had been ten days since Snow left the Air Ferry Territory, was things going well?

"The Rangers didn't bring any news," Touron replied, raising an eyebrow at the thought of Snow's identity, and though he was a little frightened, he asked, "My lord, do you really want to take in those demon seeds that are spurned by the world?"

"If they can help me build my territory, why not?"

Just thinking about those magical powers, it is enough to make Rand feel happy, Oak alone can raise the overall strength of the Kongdu Domain to a higher level, so if there are more than a dozen or even dozens of demon seeds gathered under his command, plus the advanced knowledge in his mind, then in a few years, how far will the Kongdu Domain develop?

Perhaps, this continent will give birth to a sixth independent and powerful kingdom on the basis of the original.

And he will be called ...... King Rand?

Sounds pretty good......

......

Snow looked at the starlight outside the window, thinking that when the sun rose again, he would leave with his companions, and under his persuasion, six companions were willing to leave with him, including himself and Connor, a total of eight of them were ready to go to the empty ferry territory.

The Councillor refused to agree to his request anyway, leaving with him, and even had a big fight with him, Snow understood the Councilman's hatred of humanity, but could not agree with his choice.

"Enough, I don't know what you got in the Empty Crossing Realm, but the human nobles will risk offending the Holy See and take in the demon seeds? You may have forgotten what you experienced, but I haven't forgotten how they dealt with us, and your decision will take your companions to hell!"

Snow remembered over and over again what the Councilor had said this afternoon when he was arguing with him.

"Suffering and death are the trials of the Eye of Darkness, and the villains of the Right Court will eventually be trampled under our feet, and when the relics come again, we will reign again in the Council!"

It seemed that the Councillor's belief in the Eyes of Darkness had reached the point of fanaticism, and Snow sighed to himself, pinning his hopes on something illusory, which seemed to him to be a very stupid act, he was an extremely pragmatic man, and he had always been skeptical of such a statement similar to the brainwashing of the Holy See.

As for the rumored Eye of Darkness, which contains infinite power, it has long since disappeared with the death of the first president.

What made Snow even more upset was that several of his companions obeyed the orders of the Councillor and rejected Snow's proposal, saying that they would stay in the Council with the Councillor and wait for a miracle to happen.

"Knock knock!"

"Please come in. ”

Snow was a little strange, it was already late at night, who would come to visit at this time?

Could it be that a companion has changed his mind?

Snow soon realized that he had guessed wrong, because it was none other than the Councilman who had had a big fight with him that afternoon.

"Your Excellency, ......?" Snow couldn't figure out what the Councillor meant.

"Snow, I'd like to talk to you. The councillor sat down at his own seat, "I've thought about it for a long time, and I think I should reconsider your proposal." ”

Snow's sudden words were a little difficult to digest, and he was stunned at the time.

After a second, Snow's eyes widened in surprise, and his voice sharpened with joy, "You mean it really?"

"Yes, I've heard from other companions that a lot of people want to leave the council, we've been living in panic for a long time," the councillor's voice was hoarse and hollow, "and maybe our lives will be very different with a little change." ”

Great! If even the councillors agreed, the rest of the companions would certainly not insist on it, and then their task would be considered a complete one.

But why did the Senator's mind change so quickly?

"Tell me about the situation. The councillor waved his hand and prompted: "The army, and the economy." ”

It seems that the Councilor has already made up his mind.

Snow held back his excitement and told the story of his experience of living in the Empty Ferry Territory completely, from lurking in the Empty Ferry Territory, to showing up to take Oak away, and later staying in the Empty Ferry Territory as an Oak teacher, and witnessing the birth of the engine, and finally resisting the beast tide together, until Oak was fully accepted, without any concealment.

It can be seen that the councillor is fascinated by what he hears, after all, for the demon species that lives in the mountains all year round, there is a lack of channels to understand the outside world.

There are many details, and the Councilor asked very carefully.

But Snow gradually felt a little strange, because according to normal theory, the most important thing for the companions who went to the air crossing territory should be their place of residence and salary, but the councillor never asked about this aspect, but paid great attention to the distribution of the air crossing territory's army, such as those places where the defense force was weak, which areas had the strongest defense force, and about the powerful weapons developed by Rand, its power and how to use it, the councilor asked even more.

Something seems wrong with this, because the Senator wasn't interested in war or weapons.
