Chapter 418: Acting City Lord
Greenland City is a forest city, and the difference between a city and a tribe is that a city is a relatively open place, with a free trade market and different races, similar to a large and small temporary town in the forest. However, the city is more strictly governed and formalized, and only caravans that are qualified to do business, or adventurers who have been certified by the city, can enter.
After 500 years of operation by half-elves, Greenland City now has many caravans, races, and forces that have obtained residence qualifications, store opening qualifications, business qualifications, and entry and exit qualifications.
The main revenue of Forest City is maintained by taxes collected from commercial trade and residential exchanges, and a large proportion of outsiders in Greenland City are located. This turmoil has caused a lot of trouble in the city, and it is impossible for others not to know that at this moment, in the tavern and inn, business travelers, adventurers, and half-elves are all talking about this matter.
"Hey, guys, you know what?" said a goblin trader who was reselling goods, "Greenland almost had a big fight yesterday!"
Another forest merchant nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Greenland City is too unsafe, can you still come here to do business in the future?" It is said that the surrounding forest tribes are rioting, I think Greenland City is probably hanging, it is better to get rid of the stall and leave as soon as possible." ”
"Don't worry. A local half-elf in the tavern hurriedly explained that these caravans were the main source of income for Greenland City, and if they lost confidence in Greenland City, it would be a big loss for the half-elves, "The crisis is all caused by the shamans, and now the shamans have been beaten to half a life, and there will be no more threats." ”
The other half-elf took over and said: "Greenland City has opened a warehouse to release grain to relieve the forest tribes, and release the remaining risks and contradictions for the forest tribes to alleviate the famine crisis, although Greenland City has lost a lot of materials, but I believe that after this time, the surrounding forest tribes will be more monolithic, even if there is an invasion of foreign enemies in the future, we can unite against the enemy!"
The forest merchants all looked stupid.
Who doesn't know that your Greenland City is already crumbling, even if you survive this time, will you survive next time?
At this time, an adventurer who knew the inside story asked: "By the way, I heard that the reason why Greenland City did not suffer any major losses this time is all because of the help of a mysterious human being, otherwise Greenland City would have to pay a huge price even if it wants to survive this crisis, how can it be as basically unscathed as it is now!"
"It's really fake, where did this human come from, and it has such great ability, why have I never heard of it before!"
A half-elf scratched his head and said, "My grandfather is a priest of the greens, and he has seen this human, what is it called...... Chu Tian: Anyway, he is a human being who is not yet twenty years old. ”
This name is indeed unfamiliar to the forest tribe, no one has ever heard of such a number one person operating in the forest, so these people are also very surprised that Chu Tian can solve the great disaster for Greenland City.
But they were clearly taken aback, a little too soon.
At this moment, an adventurer rushed into the tavern, holding the notice just issued by the half-elves of Greenland City, with a strange look on his face, and shouted: "Damn, something is wrong, you guys come and see this!"
"What the hell did Hansen do when he was shocked?"
"Could it be that there is another war?"
There was a crackle in the tavern, and the business and tourist people stood up one after another, and immediately went to get the notice in the hand of the adventurer, but they didn't know it, and when they saw the content, everyone felt that their eyes were about to pop out.
"What's written on this?" one of them shouted anxiously, "I don't know the elven script!
"This is the latest enactment!"
"The true identity of that human has been revealed, he is the city lord of Greenland City appointed by His Majesty the Elf King of the Eternal Forest!"
"My day!"
"Really?"
"The Elf King's brain is burned out!"
People are scolding, everyone knows that Greenland City can't hold on, but they just got the secret news, and the Eternal Forest is ready to come to take over, so these people are stable so far. As long as Greenland City becomes a city under the banner of the Eternal Forest, then with the powerful military strength of the elven race, Greenland City still has a good chance to prosper again.
The result?
The elven king took it, but gave the city to the humans.
Isn't this a joke? If the elves don't send an army over, how can an alien human stabilize the situation?
"And what, there's more!"
"Lord Clark, the acting city lord of Greenland City, has taken the initiative to resign from his position, and now after the research of the Greenland Church's priestly group, it has finally been decided to let human Chutian serve as the acting city lord of Greenland City!"
"The order has been announced, and it will take effect immediately, and now the human Chu Tian has moved into the City Lord's Fort and has begun to take over all the affairs of the Half-Elf City!"
What a surprise!
It's like a bomb detonating in your mouth!
Is it a joke that people can't even close their mouths? The Eternal Forest is just messing around, and now the half-elves are messing around?
"There is gossip that this human was only the leader of a small force on the outskirts of the Chaotic Forest before, and it is said that he was still a merchant in a small chamber of commerce, but he just ran to Greenland City alone to become the city lord. ”
", a stinky boy, why is he the lord of Greenland City!"
"Fuck, the half-elf can't do it, it's better to let Lao Tzu get on!"
"Is Greenland City coming to an end?"
This time, not only the foreign merchant adventurers and the like, but also the half-elves caused a great sensation within the half-elf clan, how could Lord Clark let a human be the acting city lord? This is really unreasonable!
............
About half an hour ago.
Chu Tian had just accepted his appointment.
Although the plan went awry and failed to control the forest tribe, it didn't matter much. The conflict between the half-elf and the shaman has accumulated deeply, and now the green shaman faction led by Luz cannot gain the trust of the half-elf internally, and may be retaliated against by the wild heights externally. The most correct way is to support Chutian to sit in the position of the city lord, so as to ensure that the shaman can be under the protection of Greenland City, and there is still room for development.
The minotaur Arnold also supports Chu Tian, as well as the Demon God Church where Delores is located, although Chu Tian has not many cards in his hand, but taking the opportunity of this great achievement, Clark still gave him the position of acting city lord.
Chu Tian took Delores to the way to the City Lord's Fort, and Delores looked sullen.
"Hey, I successfully took the first step, since I got the position of acting city lord, then it is not far from the city lord, and you have also been successfully promoted to the city lord's assistant, shouldn't you celebrate?" Chu Tian shook the gorgeous city lord robe on his body, which the half-elf had just ordered for him, "For example, a passionate kiss or something." ”
If it were normal times, Delores would not recommend having an affair with this human, but now she doesn't seem to be in such a mood, "This decision is announced now, it will definitely cause a huge controversy within the half-elves, the new city lord appointed by the Eternal Forest to Greenland City is a human, this is probably a fact that no one can accept, aren't you afraid that the people below will rebel?"
There's no denying it.
Chu Tian, a human being, is indeed extremely capable, and in the conflict with the shaman wizard this time, if it weren't for Chu Tian's superb means, the half-elf would have suffered heavy losses. However, he is a human after all, and the climate has not yet formed, and now is by no means the time to fully disclose his identity.
Chu Tian has no power of his own in Greenland City at all, the Demon God Church has no influence in Greenland City, Luz is just forced to surrender to him, as for the half-elves, there are indeed some old guys who appreciate him, but most half-elves will not accept a human to become the master of the city.
The current practice is to deliberately push Chu Tian to the cusp, it seems to be very beautiful on the surface, but in fact, the water is very deep underneath!
Chu Tian's situation is that of a bare-pole city lord.
This status is only a symbol, and the power is still in the hands of the half-elves.
Delores said: "I think the half-elf deliberately gave you trouble, you have made a great contribution now, and you are indeed the one who was recognized by the Eternal Forest and directly ordered by the Elf King." So the half-elves won't come to you with their own likes and dislikes, but the half-elves are hiding and waiting for you to make mistakes. ”
Chu Tian was just a restrained acting city lord.
As long as it is not the real city lord, it means that the half-elves still have room for it, and the complex situation in Greenland City will not be alleviated by solving the shaman crisis, and there are still many internal and external troubles that need to be solved, and after Chu Tian ascends to the position of acting city lord, the situation will be even more complicated.
If Chu Tian made a mistake or caused a loss, the half-elf could completely use this to ask the Eternal Forest to ask the elf king to change his appointment and find a strong elf clan to take charge.
This gave Chu Tian a chance.
It is also a strategy for half-elves to advance and retreat.
No matter how much Chu Tian contributed this time, deep down, the half-elf still lacked a sense of identity and doubted his ability and status.
"It's okay, I love a challenge. ”
Chu Tian walked into the gorgeous City Lord's Castle and stood in front of a wide floor-to-ceiling window, the sunlight poured in from the outside, making the interior very bright, and when he looked outside, the entire field of vision was white.
When opening a door.
This is a small natural garden, the grass is delicate, the flowers are in full bloom, and a small river meanders through it, but it stops abruptly in the cliff place, turning into a silver waterfall sloping down thousands of feet in the sky.
The sea of clouds rolls like waves, and isolated islands float on it, which are the peaks of the mountains. The castle of the city lord where Chu Tian is located is a castle that stands in the middle of the mountains and is built on the top of the mountain, from here you can overlook the entire mountain area, and you can also overlook the entire Greenland City area.
The castle is very large, the entire castle has hundreds of floors up and down, and when viewed from a distance below, half of the majestic mountain has been transformed into a castle, and the city and nature are perfectly integrated, almost like a work of art.
The splendor of holiness permeates the air of treasure.
The entire heaven and earth were shrouded in powerful spiritual pressure.
It's really a rare blessed land here, and the location of Greenland City is very good, but it's a pity that there are still too few people, so it seems relatively deserted. However, this situation should not last long, as long as the headquarters of the Miracle Chamber of Commerce moves here, Greenland City will definitely become more and more influential, and eventually become a pivotal city in the Chaos Forest.
Chu Tian was very satisfied with the castle, and turned back to his assistant and said, "Okay, we can't be lazy on the first day of our appointment, let's take all the documents to be processed immediately, and the main city has started to work." ”
