"Dear Lord Terrence, in addition to gifts, my master would like to build a maritime trade route with you."

"Haimao?"

Hearing this, Terrence was a little interested.

But now is not the time for sea trade, the Blue Castle has just developed here for a few years, and it has begun to be uneasy again, coupled with the recent conflict between the Blue Castle and Naga, in this case, the sea trade is not very feasible.

"Until the fight against Naga is over, the threat of Naga will always exist, and the sea trade is not a safe sea route."

"In the event of an attack by the Naga, the Blue Castle's sea power alone will not be enough to protect this route."

Even though the sea trade line is fragrant, Terrence knows that it is not suitable at the moment.

"In response to this situation, Lord Bud has also thought of some ways to deal with it."

"The Bluekeep can send copperback turtles to deliver the items to be traded and place them on the island of the original three-scaled fishmen."

"In this way, you can greatly eliminate the variables encountered on the way."

The Bud confidant said a way that worked.

However, this will also change the focus of this maritime trade from merchants bringing goods to Blue Castle bringing them over, and finally being responsible for the transportation of goods after the transaction.

At this stage of the trade, once this approach is accepted, Blue Castle will bear most of the risks and costs.

But the only good thing is that the Blue Castle convoy is safer than the merchants coming alone, and it is obvious that they can form a stable trade route more quickly.

"I'll have to think about it for a while before I answer you."

As he spoke, Terrence began to think back to all kinds of matters and reports on the territory he had seen since he came back.

Maritime trade is a road to prosperity and development, it can turn some things in the territory into treasure, sell items of mediocre value to expensive, and create new value for things that are not used, the meaning of commerce and trade has never been just commerce.

Employment rate, new inhabitant rate, variety of products in the territory, number of territorial armies, number of sea beasts transported in the breeding house.......

Terrence recalled the data and made a decision.

"We can try it first, try it for the first time, and first send a transport team of about two hundred to trade the goods on the current Blue Castle."

"However, for the qualifications of merchants who are qualified to come to trade, I hope you can tell Bard and let him screen them well!"

"Your decision was wise! Please rest assured, Lord Terrence, that I will immediately write a letter to inform my master, who will give his full support to this pilot work of sea trade! ”

After agreeing, Bud's cronies immediately happily asked to step down, and then hurried out of the hall.

Terrence breathed a sigh of relief that most of the Astral Plane's own harvest had been distributed this time, starship samples, a large amount of Star Iron Ore, etc., as well as a lot of equipment pulled from the Star Thieves, the rational planning and allocation of these resources was basically the focus of this meeting.

Let these external objects truly transform into the strength and strength of Blue Castle itself, so that it can be internalized in the body.

The strength of the Blue Castle is not strong, mainly because of the lack of high-level combat power, which makes Terrence dare not leave the Blue Castle for a long time to go out to the Astral Boundary to fight the autumn wind.

Without thinking much about these things, Terrence sorted his thoughts, then got up and walked out of the dragon's lair.

Outside the dragon's nest, there is a sunny sky, and from the height of the dragon's nest, you can see the city buildings distributed below.

Today, when the sun is shining, many homes have dried marine fish, sea vegetables, kelp and other seafood.

Soaring above the Blue Castle, Terrence begins to visit the island's presence one by one.

The first to arrive is Birna, and it just so happens that Terrence sees Bill "practicing" earth magic near the Blue Castle Island!

Sensing the nearby earth elements, and then gathering sand into a tower, the earth elements were condensed into stones, and finally the stones began to fill in from the beach at the edge of the Blue Castle.

"Long time no see! Bill! ”

Terrence landed, and the boarman guards guarding Bill immediately bowed to Terrence and saluted.

"Long time no see, Terrence!"

"Oh? Can you already call my name in full? ”

Terrence was quick to notice this.

"Uh-huh!"

"Mother, Tsubaki Ya and they teach me every day, I have learned, in addition to Terrence, there is also Palaya, and Hogg......."

Bill's language skills have improved considerably, even though he is currently not speaking Dragon!

However, if the lingua franca of the mainland is spoken well, it will also be convenient for future communication.

"How's it going? Will you be able to persevere in this practice? ”

"It's been a good time lately."

"I've been practicing this job for a long, long time! I've been practicing here since the last time Terrence you went out without me! ”

"Mother and Tsubaki said that this will make me stronger, and you can help Terrence in the future, and then you will take me out to play!"

Bill replied, which made Terrence feel that Bill's wisdom should have been raised to the stage of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old human child, and although Bill's thinking at this time could not be said to be mature, there was no major problem in basic life communication.

The rest, more is the need for guidance and education, but none of this work can be done in a short period of time, this is a slow job.

"Bill, my mother is right, it's still too dangerous to take you out now."

"I'm glad you understand and understand our concerns, but I hope you can continue to work hard to protect this home while I'm not at Blue Castle!"

"Also, I found you a teacher outside, and I'll ask him to come to you tomorrow, remember to be prepared."

"Teacher?"

Bill wondered.

"Terrence, don't I have my mother as my teacher?"

"Trust me, this teacher will interest you!"

With that, Terrence left Bill to think about it.

Fanning the dragon's wings, Terrence soon made his way to his next destination, the ancient tree's quartering.

The old tree is said to have been a former swamp with a colony of low-class mire frogs.

Coming here, the quagmire environment that should have been there is gone, replaced by bare tree roots that are intertwined with the ground and crisscrossed by them.

These roots form a new "environment" on the side, and the original mire is not visible at all.

Terrence hadn't set foot on the land yet, but had just come to the edge to fetch it, and the ancient trees reacted.

This made Terrence somewhat surprised by the growth and recovery of the ancient tree.

Half a year ago, when he left, the old tree was still in the process of adapting its core to the new tree.

The current growth situation really surprised him, the ancient tree has grown to a height of more than 30 meters!

Although it is not as large as the original in the Moon Bay Forest, it is better than the original in terms of quality and quantity!

"Terrence?!"

"Are you Terrence? You've changed so much! ”

"You too~"

Terrence shrunk so that he wouldn't let his oversized size and weight squash the roots of the ancient tree beneath his feet.

Terrence stepped on the root "ground" all the way to the ancient tree's body.

In front of the main body of the ancient tree, Terrence saw several trees that resembled faces, the eyes of the human faces on the bark were closed, as if they were still sleeping, but the aura they emitted made Terrence have to look sideways!

It looks like the ancient elven kingdom, the thorn tree man in the forest guardian, and the appearance of the oak tree man and the pine tree man, Terrence doesn't know if he has looked away, so he took a general look and went straight to the ancient tree.

This new body of the ancient tree, the tree species seems to be a little different from the original, Terrence thinks it should be evolutionary?

Now Terrence doesn't see much of the direction and doorway of the evolution of the ancient tree, but as long as the relationship between the ancient tree and the Blue Castle is mutually beneficial, then it is enough.

A breeze blew on the face, blowing the dense leaves on the ancient trees, and in the sound of leaves, an emerald green figure of human Lori appeared in the body, and then excitedly ran to Terrence whose body was reduced to seven or eight meters.

Looking at the image of the ten-year-old ancient tree Lori in front of him, Terrence was speechless.

He had forgotten a little that although the ancient tree was as old as Socrates for more than 900 years, the ancient tree's spiritual wisdom was newly opened, and its wisdom was estimated to be more enlightening than that of Bill, who had been treated in the brain domain.

Terrence gently stretched out his dragon claws, picked up the condensed loli spirit body of the ancient tree, and then put it on his head.

"Little one, do you have a name?"

"My name is Leah! My mother gave me a name, it's a nice name! ”

Mother? It's my mother again......

Bill was brought by her, and the ancient tree was also enlightened, and Terrence now felt that the jackal's mother should be given the title of a great mother?

"Hmmm! Leah, that's a great name for you. ”

Terrence then begins to talk to Leah, interspersed with questions he wants to ask.

Although some of the answers are not very clear, such as the three Guardian Tree Seeds were given by Mother in the hope that they can become Leah's companions and friends in the future, it is not known how the tree seeds came to be.

There are many other questions, and Terrence thinks that he should not get to the bottom of it, after all, Leah can't answer them.

Terrence simply began to tell some of his own stories, the ancient trees of the astral plane, his own stories, the ancient trees he had seen, etc., all of which made the whole chat easy and enjoyable!

After chatting with Leah for three or four hours, she took off the little green loli on her head and carefully placed it on the ground.

"Alright Leah, it's not too early, I should go back."

"Ahhh I'm going to ride a dragon too! ”

"I haven't ridden enough, Terrence!"

“.......”

Terrence quickly left the place where the old tree was growing.

As night fell, Terrence took the time to go to the house of the Goblin Priest Jill.

Jill, the first group of dependents who followed Terrence.

At the same time, he is also one of the few elders of the priesthood in the clan in Terrence's hands, and his strong knowledge and contribution to pharmacy have been greatly demonstrated in the first two events!

However, the family member who had followed Terrence for a long time was already very old, and six years later, he had become even more senile.

That's one of the reasons why Terrence came to meet him this time.

"Lord Terrence, your presence has made this puff shine!"

"I was terrified, I knew you were coming, there would never be such chaos here!"

"I should have packed up the ...... in advance"

Before Terrence entered the door, he smelled some moldy books in Old Jill's house, and secondly, the smell was mixed with the smell of other medicinal herbs, and the smell was very strange, and Terrence couldn't smell the results of the analysis.

"Alright, don't be nervous, old Jill."

Terrence was a little helpless, he wouldn't eat him, what was old Jill so nervous about?

Looking at the old Jill's face, the sagging and old skin on it, as well as the age spots all over the face, all reflected that the old goblin's life was coming to an end.

According to the Goblin Clan, plus the strength of Old Jill, Old Jill may not survive the next three years.

"Old Jill, when you followed me, I promised you to take the Green Forest Clan to become stronger and stronger together!"

"Today, Greenwood Town has become one of the important cities of the Blue Castle, and it is now called Greenwood City, and my promise to you to the clan has been fulfilled."

"Well, Lord Terrence, I was confident from the beginning that you could do it!"

"Now, even if I don't have a long life, I have no regrets."

Old Jill's words were very light, and there was not much attachment to life in them, only satisfaction and relief.

"But the current Naga, I don't know what is waiting for the new Blue Castle in the future, I don't want you to die like this, without seeing the future......"

"Do you see the future......"

Old Jill fell into deep thought, as one of the first family members to follow Terrence, there were not many old guys who followed Terrence like him, and there was an old blind man from Fishman Village who was almost like him.

"Lord Terrence, is there any way you can see the future?"

Seeing the future is the same as continuing to live.

"Absolutely!"
