Chapter 190: The First Voice
On a sunny winter day, the cold lingers on the snow that has not yet melted, and the road covered with frozen mud is shoveled on the side of the road, revealing black cinders and yellow-brown river sand. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In order to live every day, even if the weather is cold, the hired workers have to get up and work, otherwise there will be no food. Chopping wood is a high-demand job, and hired workers who know how to use saws are also in demand, and bits and pieces of branches and sawdust are usually part of the pay.
When the cold wave of winter temporarily faded, Heishui Town, an emerging pioneer territory that had a firm foothold, was still a scene of people working everywhere, and the atmosphere was in full swing, showing vigorous vitality.
Before Lu Bin and the others got close, the lord's staff group collected more than a dozen relevant information from different channels, needless to say, it must be the adventurers or mercenaries who returned to Blackwater Town with the team, taking the opportunity to combine the facts they knew, with the indispensable conjectures, and hype them into a dinner dinner-level meal.
There are inevitably absurd anecdotes in it, but except for a few protagonists who have experienced it personally, who dares to guarantee that it must be fiction, so the lord's staff can only compare with each other, and eliminate the parts that are not right and difficult to prove each other.
The rest of the truth, if not the truth, was greatly improved, and the chief of staff took up a new copy to submit to Lord Nell Austin for perusal, but when he wrote about the people he focused on, the string of honorable titles almost broke the hardwood pen.
"What His Excellency Rez is doing in the Shadows is so shocking that if all is true, I intend to arrange a formal meeting as soon as possible. ”
The Lord of Blackwater Town knew that not long ago, in the name of the mountain dwarves returning to their hometown to visit their relatives, the "legendary mage" with a lot of water and the "son of Thor" Orrick Tyrese led a team to the Stormwind Mountains.
Others may have good things to say about "Mage Rez", the youngest son of a demigod who is revered in the North, will definitely stick to his ideals of justice, or at least not lie.
"Perhaps, before that, arrange an informal meeting with His Excellency Orric, and I would like to hear his views. ”
Nell Austin put down the information, saluted his chief of staff, and issued a new order, which was so solemn that the priority immediately overshadowed the first order.
At the same time, Schindlin Astrology, who lurks in Wuthering Heights and goes by the pseudonym "Mad Wizard", is the first to learn of this important information, in addition to secretly having the identity of a dark wizard, he is also a half-elf with elven blood, and has received the benefits of his former guardian in the Gray Forest.
No one is more keen to follow the movements of Lord Reze as the "Guardian of Elondale", and because of his lurking in the vicinity of the Lord of Blackwater, Hindlin Astrology can always get first-hand information faster than anyone else.
"An opportunity to invest! Maybe the elven remnants of the North can unite under the command of this legendary mage, can repel the Vigilant Eye Church, convince Oric Tyrese, the son of Thor, and find a revered position in the Dark Regions and the Mountain Dwarves, he should not be a short-sighted fool. ”
Later, Hindlin astrologer left Wuthering Heights without saying a word, and due to his unique status, including the razor hills where the cottage was located, there were no defenses.
When no one welcomed Lu Bin and the others, they quietly entered Blackwater Town, followed the adventurers and mercenaries behind them, tired from even the day's travel, and directly found a familiar tavern or inn, and plunged into it and quickly fell asleep.
More than a hundred travelers who had walked long distances were like a basin of water sprinkled on the ground, quickly dispersed and diverted, and were quietly digested by the town, like a dry sponge absorbing water.
Lu Bin also felt exhausted, but he had his own responsibilities, and he couldn't fall down at this time, so he just arranged for two of his entourages to return to the Alfalfa Flower Tavern to stay and rest, and after asking Olik Tyrese's opinion, he was surprised to find that the blonde boy also had his own arrangements.
In the blink of an eye, the people who followed Lu Bin and behind him were gone, leaving him alone, standing alone on the wide road, and suddenly a bleak chill appeared in his heart.
However, Lu Bin is a traverser after all, and he is also a person with a big heart, even if it is only him, he resolutely walks on the lonely road and walks towards the street where the porter's guild is located.
The air is no longer filled with the cold smell of the snowy fields that can freeze your nose, but the sour smell of the sweat of the hired workers, the smell of paint from the non-stop carriages, the burnt smell of toasted bread, and the unique pot smell of broth, all of which constitute the breath of life in this new pioneer territory, and the experience of half a month seems to be quietly gone.
"I still like to stay with ordinary people!" Lu Bin's desire to return to human society has never been stronger, but this mood cannot stop his next plan.
The porter's guild three streets away from the entrance of the town, when Lu Bin appeared alone, many guild members were still in a daze, but they quickly remembered that there was only one person in Blackwater Town or in the north, so most people couldn't help but cheer.
It can be seen that Lu Bin took a huge risk to go to the wild to rescue the members of the guild who were closed due to bad weather, so that he could easily control everyone's hearts.
After all, the members of the Porters' Guild approve of those who can do this, even if they are outright selfish and hypocritical, as rumored to be, because some of them don't even bother to do the superficial work of disguise and disguise.
Lu Bin couldn't help but feel a little proud and proud when he saw the heartfelt support of the guild members: "If there is a data system that can see the favorability of the other party now, these people are definitely loyal and locked." ”
Cheering up, Lu Bin chatted with the guild members to further shorten the distance between them, and the partners who rushed to hear the news later, including the purchaser Derek and the two stewards who were in charge of the important guilds for the lord, also came together.
Lu Bin did not call the shareholders to a small room to discuss, but announced his decision on the spot in the most spacious lobby of the guild.
"What? You're going to apply to the Great Council of the North for a Pioneer Order? Reze, my friend, are you sure you don't have a fever in your head today?
Derek's questioning was supported by the other two stewards, who also made the same complaint, not believing that the "legendary mage" had been stimulated to go crazy, and that was still based on the rumors that had just been poured into their ears.
Lu Bin's move to build momentum for himself is rapidly fermenting faster than he imagined, after all, his identity is here, and he has long entered the field of vision of many people and has received close attention from various angles.
Even in the porter's guild, Lu Bin could still feel that there were several invisible lines of sight sweeping around him, which contained an unusually grand will, which was estimated to come from several major churches in the town, and high-level people at the bishop level.
"In the future, when I establish a pioneer territory, I will definitely deal with the people of the church, but now I can only tolerate it a little bit. ”
Retracting his wandering thoughts, Lu Bin opened his mouth to explain to his friend Derek, perhaps with the intention of telling the other two guild shareholders and even the other guild members present.
"Oric Tyrese has offered to help with the application for the Pioneer Order, and he is also one of the founders of the New Pioneer Territory, otherwise I would not have been so confident. Perhaps you all already know the origin of Orrick Tyrese, will the nobles and councillors of the Great Council of the North refuse?"
Lu Bin didn't wait for them to answer, and said the answer to himself: "Absolutely not!"
The buyer, Derek, was well aware of Oric Tyrese's status as the "son of Thor", and did not have any doubts about applying for a pioneer order, he was only worried about the construction of the territory.
"The new pioneer realm needs a huge amount of money, all kinds of materials to raise, and the indispensable people. The first step is to start a settlement, preferably two settlements that are watching each other, then there must be at least two hundred people. Qualified farmer recruitment, I may be able to help...... Rez, my friend, this new frontier realm, I reckon the honorable Earl Conrad will also be interested, you see......"
Lu Bin pondered for a moment, "I don't have any problems, the friendship and support of the nobles are essential, the key is the attitude of Oric Tyrese, after all, he is also one of the founders, and I can't decide everything." ”
After hearing this, the buyer Derek couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his mouth, and secretly thought in his heart: "Count Conrad is a special opinion leader in the Great Council of the North, and he really hasn't had a holiday with Speaker Tyrese who doesn't care about anything, but the two sides can't be said to be friends. ”
He reached out and grabbed Lu Bin's sleeve: "Rez, my friend, if I invest in my personal name and connections, can I take this big ship that goes to sea with the wind?"
Lu Bin nodded lightly: "Yes, there is no problem at all." However, I have to ask Oryk Tyrese for his opinion, and the addition of a founder to the new frontier could not have done without him. ”
Things went around and went back to the starting point, the buyer Derek was a little frustrated, but he couldn't say anything against it, if he was lucky enough to become one of the founders, this kind of qualification and right to participate, with the support of his friend Rez, would definitely not slip out of his hands.
Later, Lu Bin took out a small bag of gem ore from his plane warehouse, and due to the public and private use of New Bretton Rock City, the three underground dwarf jewelers had simply rough processing it, and the general outline of the blank had been polished, and the value was immediately doubled.
As a veteran buyer, Derek quickly put aside his frustration and quickly got into the groove, appraising these high-quality gemstone roughs from dark regions with a professional eye.
"It's worth about 20,000 gold coins, and the market fluctuates about a thousand, enough to build a village with stone walls, or two decent settlements. But, Rez, my friend, this money is not enough to build a complete pioneer territory. ”
Lu Bin quietly put away the small bag of gemstones, "These are just my salaries during my tenure as the city lord of New Bretton Rock City, and there are many more gains, which are estimated to be ten times that of this bag of gems." ”
Two hundred thousand gold coins! The minds of ordinary people quickly remembered an astonishing amount, not only the members of the nearby guild, but even the two stewards who had seen the world were dumbfounded.
As for Derek, the purchaser, his mouth opened in shock at the words of his friend "Rez", but he couldn't say anything.
It was an astonishing amount he had never come into contact with, and such a great fortune that he owned the domain of Count Conrad of Bagen-Uttonburg and the annual income of his estates.
