The orange fire trembled slightly, the flickering light and darkness in the cellar looked a little gloomy, and the silent Buman sat straight with two clear dark circles under his eyes, lowering his head and not daring to take a breath, every time Xia Zuo turned over the animal skin account in his hand, it would make him quickly take a breath of relief, and then get nervous again.

Xia Zuo just flipped through the accounts of the materials in the past, and recorded them very clearly, and he also believed that Buman didn't dare to do anything on it, but just looked through the blast furnace smelting method recorded by Buman in detail over and over again.

The method of smelting is not difficult, it is completely within the range that the Munk orcs can learn and master, but between Xia Zuo's eyebrows, it is twisted into a deep Sichuan character, and fortunately, Buman has been keeping his head down, otherwise Xia Zuo's ugly face now will definitely evoke bad memories and scare him to the ground.

"Buman, are you kidding me?" casually put the animal skin account aside, Xia Zuo stared at Buman directly, and his unkind tone showed that he was very unhappy in his heart now.

Subconsciously shuddered, and his face turned pale in an instant, "No, no, how dare I", trembling and trembling teeth, I couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

"Since you don't dare, then what do these things mean?" Xia Zuo casually flipped through the book in his hand, which recorded in detail the things needed for blast furnace smelting, and even noted the shape, source and price next to it.

Buman's report is not inexhaustible, but what makes Xia Zuo so angry is that although those things are not expensive, whether it is the special steel shell required by the blast furnace, or the refractory bricks and other raw materials inside, they are far from being able to be produced by the technology of the Campas Empire.

In short, these things are simply not available in Kampas, and no daring businessman would dare to send these contraband items to Kampas.

Without these things, there is no way to talk about the blast furnace, and even if you get the technology of blast furnace smelting, it is simply a treasure that can only be used to see.

"Blast furnace ironmaking is the simplest and most extensive smelting method in the Human Empire, this" Buman, who knew where the fork was, hurriedly explained, but then he also reacted, his eyes leaked a desperate and sad look, obviously also reflected the reason for Xia Zuo's anger, if smelting steel could not be realized, it would mean that he was completely useless.

Thinking of the bloody methods that Xia Zuo revealed in the wasteland, Buman couldn't help but go limp, and sat down on the ground.

"You go down and rest first!" Rubbing his brows, Xia Zuo did not ask someone to pull him out of the car as Buman thought, but just waved his hand, and the other party reported truthfully, which had nothing to do with Buman at this time.

Buman, who had been pardoned, hurriedly stood up, bowed to Xia Zuo, and left almost with his hands and feet, for fear that if he stayed a little longer, the demon would change his attention.

It took a few days for the trembling Buman to realize that the demon didn't seem to have any idea of what he was doing, and he slowly relaxed.

"Boss, Walden is back!" Bigu strode into Xia Zuo's cellar, and his characteristic loud voice made Xia Zuo's brow finally soothe after a few days of frowning, finally some good news!

"Let's go, let's meet them!" Xia Zuo, who had just stood up, had just finished speaking, and Walden's tall figure had already appeared by the door.

"Brother Walden, why did it take so long to come back, did you encounter any obstacles on the way?" Xia Zuo hurriedly stepped forward, Walden and his party, who were supposed to come back a long time ago, were nearly ten days later than they should have been, which made Xia Zuo worried, after all, although the centaur reading team was strong, there were still many dangers in the wasteland.

"Nothing happened, it's just that Miss Amanda was going to prepare a gift for the chief, so she was delayed in the city for a few days!" Xia Zuo's concern made a warm smile climb up on Walden's resolute face.

took out a few rectangular golden bills from his arms and handed them to Xia Zuo, "This is the 23,000 gold coins that Miss Amanda bought for slaves, in order to make it easier to carry, Miss Amanda specially changed it to a golden ticket for the mainland!"

Without looking at it, he put away the gold coins casually, Xia Zuole said, "I'll talk about this later, you have worked hard all the way, take a good rest first!"

As he spoke, he pulled Walden and was about to walk to the table, but he felt a resistance from Walden.

"Wait, Chief, there's one more important thing!" Walden said with a solemn face and took out a delicate gold-rimmed animal skin scroll from his arms, and carefully held it in the palm of his hand with both hands, "This is a gift from Miss Amanda, please accept it!"

"What" Since Amanda made it, this gift must not be small, and Walden's expression added to Xia Zuo's curiosity.

Casually took the scroll and unfolded it, Xia Zuo only glanced at it, and his heart couldn't help beating violently.

The leather scroll is inlaid with a piece of white rice paper, rare in the Campas Empire, with simple Kampas characters written in gold lacquer.

When he saw the word lord, Xia Zuo's heart beat suddenly.

Then there were two words of fiefdom, and suddenly there was only one thought left in Xia Zuo's head, "This is it!"!

Finally, there is the unique taxing power and levy power of the aristocracy, Xia Zuo's heart almost jumps out, and suddenly Xia Zuo only feels that he is lucky like the god of Kampas has given himself a lucky halo.

A thin letter of appointment is far heavier than any sea of gold and silver.

As the lord here, Xia Zuo got rid of the grassroots identity and became one of the nobles of the Campas Empire, enjoying the right to tax and levy, and can collect money, accumulate strength, and then develop the team, and then grow like a snowball!

As the lord of the land, he can recruit any army at will, as long as you can afford it, and heroically defend the territory of Kampas.

The inscription depicts a gold-lacquered beast, indicating that this order was issued directly from King Beamon, the imperial city of Campas, which shows the profound strength of the Woods family.

According to the law of Kampas, from now on, Xia Zuo is the lord of the territory under his feet, and even the emperor of Kampas can no longer erase his position for no reason without committing heinous crimes such as the rebellion of the Clan.

And the knights are full of words, and the words of glory are even more exciting for Xia Zuo, who can't wait to start work immediately, establish the city and make immortal achievements.

As soon as the trade routes opened, he would receive a steady stream of gold coins, and soon he would become one of the richest people in the empire.

"Gollum" Xia Zuo subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, although he knew that Amanda's shot was extraordinary, but this gift was still far greater than Xia Zuo imagined.

"From today onwards, I'm going to address you as Lord Lord!" Walden touched his chest with one hand and saluted respectfully to Xia Zuo's chin.

"Brother Walden, don't be polite!" Xia Zuo also stroked his chest and returned the salute, and the curious Bigu on the side stretched out his head to look at the appointment letter, only glanced at it a few times, and his two eyes suddenly widened.

The lord, who was extremely far away from their lives, did not expect that his boss would become a lord in front of him, which made Bigu stare at him and couldn't even speak for a while.

And Xia Zuo is not a simple beast after all, after a short period of excitement, Xia Zuo, who calmed down, also quickly sobered up.

The desolate fiefdom at the foot of the country, which nominally belongs to itself, cannot be said to belong entirely to the Camppass at present, and as the border between the Camppass Plateau and the Rodman Empire, the ownership of this place has always been disputed, and it is finally held by the two countries.

And the right to tax is a distant dream, now there are almost no orcs in Xia Zuo's territory, most of the people inhabited are half-orcs and herds of beasts and fierce beasts, Xia Zuo can never collect taxes from them.

The only right to call now, which is somewhat useful, only justifies Xia Zuo's expansion plan that has already begun.

Canonizing a wasteland lord that no one cares about is not a task for Fawkes's forces at all, but Xia Zuo, who has accepted the partnership, has to use the sporadic manpower and material resources in his hands to build a castle out of thin air on the empty and barren gravel wasteland.

It is also necessary to recruit and feed the army, build a line of defense against humans and orcs, and open a safe enough trade route to attract caravans.

Xia Zuo, who calmed down, only calculated a few times, and was stunned to find that it was supposed to be a two-benefit cooperation, but he unknowingly suffered a big loss.

"Damn fox" Xia Zuo, who figured out the pass, couldn't help gritting his teeth and said coldly, being cautious all the way, but he was still calculated by those cunning foxes!

"Boss, what did you say?" Bigu, who was immersed in excitement, thought that Xia Zuo was happily stunned, and asked anxiously.

"It's nothing! let everyone know about it!" Xia Zuo saw Higu's happy appearance, smiled and shook his head, although he suffered a little, but it was still a good thing in the end.

"Ah!" Bigu ran out happily, and with the loud shout, soon all the people who fell knew the good news, and the long howl in the sky was full of joy, and all the Saiyans came out of the house to celebrate their leader as their lord.

The grand celebration was noisy for a day and a night, and the letter of appointment from the empire meant that from this day on, they had truly become the masters of this land.

However, the protagonist of this tribal prosperity only celebrates with the tribe for a short time, and then gathers all the main members of the tribe, including the recent human steward Buman.

Xia Zuo's serious face quickly calmed down the excited crowd, and with the crackling sound of charcoal in the fire, the atmosphere gradually became solemn.

"I'm going to go to Sarnia!" Under everyone's gaze, Xia Zuo's faint words broke the silence.

PS: The most important thing is to be happy! So, I wish my brothers and sisters to be happy every day, and by the way, I also make me happy!
