Chapter 100: The Old Man Visits
Zhou Tian missed an affair because of caution, but in the end, the effect he wanted to achieve was still achieved. No matter what happened between Zhou Tian and those mercenaries, on the whole, it will not affect the evaluation of those mercenaries of their territory. And according to the feelings of those mercenaries in Zhou Tian's territory before, they naturally realized that the potential of Zhou Tian's territory was amazing.
In particular, when those mercenaries left Zhou Tian's territory and ate the food they bought from the supermarket when they lived in the wild, they were quickly conquered by the convenience and taste of snacks, even if they didn't count the friendship they had established with Zhou Tian, I believe that because of those goods, those mercenaries would inevitably be repeat customers of Zhou Tian's territory at that time.
In this way, there is a reason why they have the intention to befriend Zhou Tian, and at the same time, the various commodities in Zhou Tian's territory are indeed very attractive to them. After those mercenaries helped Zhou Tian publicize it, Zhou Tian soon found that the number of mercenaries coming and going in his territory had slowly increased unconsciously.
The only thing that made Zhou Tian feel unhappy was that because of the previous oolong incident, he had a bad reputation. made the female orcs who were originally eager to give them their arms, but now when they look at him again, they are already a little more scrutinizing.
All the changes happened right under Zhou Tian's nose, so Zhou Tian felt everything. Faced with the situation at that time, Zhou Tian must have felt quite unhappy. It's just that now, no matter how angry he is, he can't change anything for a while, the original matter has been spread, and now Zhou Tianguan can't manage it, and he forcibly interferes to make things more topical, and finally makes him have that voice on his back, Zhou Tian simply ignores it, I believe that after a long time, no one will care about his affairs.
And now, with the help of that team of mercenaries, Zhou Tian has already beaten the reputation of his territory. As more mercenaries came and went to his territory, the reputation of Zhou Tian's territory had slowly spread. And with the spread of that voice, and the fact that Zhou Tian's territory was indeed very attractive to those mercenaries, in the end, in a very short period of time, Zhou Tian's territory became a place for almost all the nearby mercenaries to repair.
And with the arrival of those mercenaries at that time, the economy of Zhou Tian's territory must have been revitalized a lot. At least the arrival of those mercenaries at that time made Zhou Tian make a small profit in the transaction of materials and precious metals, although the income in this regard is not large, but after attracting the corresponding popularity, it is very beneficial to the future development of Zhou Tian's territory.
Of course, just with the arrival of those mercenaries, it was not enough to change the situation of Zhou Tian's territory, and according to the situation at that time, Zhou Tian's territory needed to invest a lot of money if it wanted to develop. The CSB that Zhou Tian lacks at the moment is not a small amount, and the money earned from those mercenaries is not enough compared to the funds Zhou Tian needs, and it is definitely unrealistic for Zhou Tian to earn enough CSB according to those mercenaries at that time.
But no matter what, with the arrival of those mercenaries at that time, Zhou Tian's economic pressure was finally slightly reduced, and the construction work that had not lasted long could be continued at that time.
And Fu Wushuangzhi, when Zhou Tian only increased a little income due to the arrival of the mercenaries, an 'old man' who had almost forgotten about Zhou Tian came to the door at that time.
"Lord Baron, there's an elf out there asking to see you!"
"Elf?" After listening to the report of his subordinates, Zhou Tian couldn't even think of the identity of the elf for a while. After all, Zhou Tian did not have much contact with the elven clan, and it can be said that he had not established any connection with the elven empire for the time being. In such a situation, an elf suddenly visited, and without the other party having contacted him in advance, it was not surprising that Zhou Tian couldn't think of the identity of the other party for a while.
It's just that although Zhou Tian, who was in the group for a while, couldn't think of the identity of the elf who came over, it didn't matter if he didn't know the identity of the other party, now Zhou Tian only needs to know that the visiting elf is an elf, and according to his situation at that time, no matter what the identity of the elf who came over, as long as there is a slight possibility of establishing diplomatic relations with the elf empire, then Zhou Tian has no reason not to see each other.
Therefore, after simply thinking about it, and after listening to the report of his subordinates, Zhou Tian also said directly: "Invite people in." After saying that, after the orc left, Zhou Tian hurriedly called Arnold to his side as usual to prevent any accidents from happening.
As a result, not long after Arnold was guarding Zhou Tian, the departing orc also led an elf into it from outside.
And at first, Zhou Tian really didn't think of the identity of the elf. But as the elf approached at that time, although Zhou Tian felt a little similar when he saw all the elves, Zhou Tian could still remember those objects that left a deep impression.
As a result, when the elf approached him at that time, Zhou Tian, who had not thought of the other party at all, immediately recalled the identity of the other party. And when he remembered the identity of the other party at that time, Zhou Tian immediately stood up excitedly at that time, and regardless of whether Arnold could protect his own safety, he hurriedly greeted the other party.
"Hello mage, I didn't have time to thank you for leaving too fast last time, don't be in a hurry to leave this time, although our territory is not as strong as the Elven Empire, it also has its own specialties, if you don't treat you well, I'm sorry for your help last time." "The elves who can make Zhou Tian behave like that at that time must be of great help to him, otherwise even if the ordinary elves have a little effect on Zhou Tian, they will not let him have the 'gaffe' performance at that time.
And looking at the time that Zhou Tian has been in this territory for so long, there are actually not many elves who can really afford such a gaffe like him, and there are only a few elven magicians who came to help Zhou Tian set up a magic array.
The reason why they value each other so much, it is one thing for these elves to help Zhou Tian set up a magic array, but more, at that time, Zhou Tian would attach so much importance to them, or because of a promise made by these elves to him when the two sides communicated last time.
When Zhou Tian confided to these elves that he was going to plant trees at both ends of the canal he had dug and had great intentions to green an area of his territory, the elf in front of him promised on the spot that he would help him contact the shepherd after he returned, and although Zhou Tian had forgotten this matter for a long time, it did not mean that he had really forgotten about it. In fact, Zhou Tian still cares a lot about the other party's help, otherwise he wouldn't have behaved like that after seeing the other party.
The canal, Zhou Tian has been digging more than ten miles long now, although it is still far from Zhou Tian's ultimate goal, but it must be a bit of a waste to store water only for such a long canal. It is not necessary to transport goods in a short period of time, so it is now possible to plant some fruit trees at both ends, which is undoubtedly an income-generating move for Zhou Tian.
According to the methods of the shepherd, it is not a problem for Zhou Tian to harvest fruits in a short time, and although the price of fruits is not high, if the number of fruit trees is sufficient, then Zhou Tian believes that he can also harvest a considerable amount of CSB by then with only those fruits every year.
What's more important is that the reason why Zhou Tian is so enthusiastic about that elf is that the elf doesn't produce much, but there are too many medicinal herbs, logs, fruits, and so on, as long as you have a connection with the elf and have what the other party needs, then the goods produced by the elf empire can be exchanged for a fairly low price.
Every year, I don't know how many people have made a huge fortune in this trade, and Zhou Tian had no contact with the Elven Empire before and didn't dare to mess around, but now if he can establish a friendship with the elf in front of him, and even get in touch with the shepherd behind him, then although he can't take advantage of the Elven Empire's overall share of foreign trade, Zhou Tian will be able to find a way to intervene in this business near his territory.
And what is lacking in Zhou Tian right now is CSB, if he can really establish that kind of connection with those elves, he must be able to make a lot of money on those elves by then. And using that wealth to build his own territory will undoubtedly alleviate Zhou Tian's considerable economic pressure.
It is precisely because of the reason why pleasing the elf in front of him can bring so many benefits to him, so Zhou Tian will behave like he did at that time.
It's just obvious that it is natural that Zhou Tian will attach so much importance to that elf, but Zhou Tian's thoughts are not known to the other party, so after watching his performance at that time, the elf was a little 'flattered'.
