Chapter 60: Pioneering

The sea monster Wessler nodded heavily: "That's right! Compared to real wealth, the value of the moon well is like a pebble by the river, and it is not worth mentioning." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

He took a sip from his glass, "Nell Austin, Lord of Blackwater, who knows that he can't enjoy this incredible wealth alone, has secretly formed an alliance with his family's old friends. ā€

Leslyn Meyer suddenly had a flash of inspiration and grasped the key to connecting all the clues: "Austin has a lot of connections with the underworld, and he can develop and succeed in the adjacent gray forest area, and he also relies on the support of several good friends, is he also allowed to participate in the iron mine?"

Iron Lion Denton suddenly remembered something, and then chuckled a few times with emotion: "Sometimes, the personal armament of the big guy is better than the lord's guard. Don't forget, Blackwater has just been successfully developed, and the lord's forces have consumed a lot of money when clearing out the beasts, and before the new wealth is open and income, the limited guards must be put into the core castle, as well as the daily security maintenance of the attached villages and towns, and asking the boss for help is also a last resort...... Perhaps, it was originally a transaction. ā€

When Lu Bin heard this, he immediately understood that Elundelle in the Elven Kingdom would not be attacked by anyone at least in the near future.

"No wonder the former Guardian would go out of his way to destroy the Moon Well, it turned out to be the delusion of cutting off some people from the roots. However, I don't think His Highness Tellant would have guessed that I would be able to collect enough fragments of wreckage to reconstruct the Moon Well in the Bone Place. ā€

Lu Bin thought of his masterpiece, and his face inevitably showed a little smugness, which seriously misled the young man in hunting costume sitting opposite, and he also heard the conversation between the three of them, but he couldn't understand why the "mage" who was willing to share the table showed such a strange expression after knowing the news.

"Could it be that this mage is a disguised identity of a certain big guy who travels in disguise, but in the underground world of the north, no big guy has this kind of unfathomable habit. ā€

The hunting boy's gaze turned to the elf-style one-handed sword on Lu Bin's left side, and he became more and more unable to figure out the identity of the other party, so he could only sigh helplessly and continue to deal with the jam bread in front of him.

Lu Bin let go of the worries he had been worried about, and estimated that his plan of "keeping the enemy out of the country" would not be used, and he could slowly familiarize himself with and master the authority of the deep mountain lock in the future, and pack up the elf kingdom Elundelle and take it away.

He began to slowly and methodically enjoy the lunch that was not sumptuous, but definitely rich in oil and water, and inadvertently found the young man in hunting clothes who shared the table opposite, and the delicate appearance of Sven, and couldn't help but doubt the true identity of the other party again.

"It's definitely a woman, but looking at the way she eats, there are some traces of being educated, not much better than Fei Xi, the Lori apprentice of the Mage Tower. What kind of identity is she? a noble lady of a down-and-out family, or the child of some big man?"

Lu Bin's hesitant gaze fell on the other party, and the young man in the hunting costume immediately found out and fought back, but the cheeky "wandering mage" did not flinch, and was embarrassed to be caught red-handed for doing bad things, but instead looked like a good hunter who found his prey, with a "you know" look, showing a meaningful smile.

Looking at each other, the young man in the hunting costume couldn't stand the burning eyes and took the lead in retreating, his eyes dodged and looked around, she understood her true identity, and she was likely to be recognized by the other party.

"After all, the other party is a seasoned spellcaster, and he should see through my camouflage illusion...... So Lionel Guy Ritchie's admonition is right, illusionists, don't always treat others as fools, and end up being the biggest fool yourself. ā€

The guests of the Alfalfa Tavern came and went, most of them civilians working in the town, racing against the clock to finish their sumptuous lunch, leaving the tavern in a hurry to continue their busy work.

Their accents are not very different, they are basically freedmen of the northern cities, and they have heard that Lord Nell Austin has founded the town of Blackwater, and that they have successfully pioneered the razorhill adjacent to the gray forest, and that there are many opportunities to make money and even change their status in the rise of the new territory.

Although the number of inhabitants is not as large as that of the southern coastal cities, it has accumulated over several generations, and some of the territories that have been successfully developed early have even had to build cities to accommodate more and more people.

As a dividend, the old people who followed the first generation of lords to open up the land had their own share of land, but unfortunately the land was always limited, and the primogeniture system also forced other male members of the family to find other ways to make a living.

Three generations later, the indigenous families who were freed from slavery were also integrated into the growing group of freedmen, and in order to live a better life in the future, they willingly crawled at the feet of the pioneer knights, overcoming obstacles to expand the territory of survival to the surrounding areas, using their swords as ploughshares, and reclaiming their homes in the beast-infested north.

As for the lords of the north, they are also happy to see their own territories or cities under their rule, which are concentrated at the bottom of society, and the freedmen who have no jobs have a channel to rise, and they are obviously happy to see the outflow of surplus manpower, especially the old nobles with deep background, not only will not stop it, but will also do it as a business.

Lu Bin listened attentively to the conversations of the civilians around him, experienced their enthusiasm for life, positive and optimistic pioneering spirit, remembered the past that has not been far away, and he once wanted to do a great career with all his heart, but the increasingly solidified class, the higher and higher entry threshold of the emerging industry, blocked him from the door, and he had to spend his father's favor, and he had to pay for his father's favor everywhere to give gifts in order to enter a well-known architectural design company in the industry.

His mind turned a thousand times between lightning and flint, and for the first time he found that he had descended in the other world after crossing over, and there was such a vast world, waiting for him to show his strength and create his own career.

The world is just my playground, and my gaze is above it, even if I can't be famous, I want to make my name famous.

By the time Lu Bin came back to his senses, the remnants of the adventurers he had traced all the way had already left, obviously hearing the latest news from the intelligence broker, and had to change his original plans.

Lu Bin finished his lunch unhurriedly, wasting is a shameful act, he has been practicing it, and then called a halfling waiter, and after settling the account, he asked him for the specific address of the adventurer's registration.

The chin was just a halfling waiter just past the table, knowing that "Lord Wandering Mage Rez" had come to Blackwater Town for the first time, he deliberately dipped his fingers in wine and drew a simple map on the table.

In order to express his gratitude, Lu Bin specially gave him two copper plates as a tip, and the halfling waiter closed his mouth happily, and when he heard someone ordering food at the adjacent table, he bowed slightly and threw himself into work with a dinner plate behind him.

Lu Bin watched him leave, relaxed his belt slightly, then stood up, and left the still crowded front hall sideways, until he walked out of the Alfalfa Flower Tavern and breathed in the cold air outside, he sneezed a dozen times in a row, and his nose felt much better.

When he followed the simple map in his memory and walked towards the location where the adventurers registered in the center of Blackwater, his suspicious personality caused Lu Bin to walk around the nearby streets, stopping from time to time to look back to see if he was being followed.

Of course, he didn't notice it, but he didn't notice it behind him, and he didn't know when he started to catch up with a tail.

The boy in the hunting costume, or the girl in the hunting costume, had already doubted the roots of the wandering mage, and used the self-taught tracking technique to fasten behind Lu Bin.

Spotting the wandering mage deliberately circling the streets and alleys of this new town, she thought she had been found to be flawed, but she didn't find anything, so the Hunting Girl identified her target as a newcomer with a little experience in anti-tracking, but not a good hand.

It took Lu Bin three times as long to reach the destination only two blocks away, the information provided by the tavern halfling waiter was not wrong, there was really a place for adventurers to register, but it was also a mercenary recruitment station, issuing missions of various levels.

The three-storey barracks-like building, with the flag of Lord Nell Austin's family coat of arms hanging in the middle of the roof, hunting in the wind whistling by, and the second floor is the flags of the four mercenary guilds stationed in Blackwater, all of them have semi-official status, so that the flag has part of the lord's family crest in it.

Judging from the information gathered in the tavern, the lord of Blackwater Town is a very far-sighted knight, who started as a gray business in the underworld, and after accumulating enough contacts and strength, he immediately applied to the Great Council of the North for a development order, and after just five years, he succeeded, and the declining Austin family may usher in a revival in his hands.

"A person who succeeds in getting ahead must accumulate strength in silence, and after a long period of forbearance, it will explode once and ...... But they will definitely plan a blueprint for their own life and are willing to work hard for it. As for me, I just want to set a small goal for myself. ā€

For example, a hundred corpses, whether herbivores or ferocious beasts of prey, because he has seen that the bulletin board of the mercenary recruitment station has many tasks to destroy the remnants of the beasts in the territory.
