Now there are more and more foreign faces in the town, not only merchants, but also sporadic mercenary teams.

The town's walls leading to the Yellowstone Mountains were garrisoned with five hundred warriors and one hundred archers. The fifteen commanders and 10,000 soldiers sent by the Bright Holy Sect successively have greatly improved the town's armament.

On the city walls, the warriors dressed in neat equipment watched vigilantly in the direction of the Warcraft Forest, and some guard squads patrolled back and forth, and the three commanders also stood on the city gate tower, one of them holding a staff, and the gem at the top of the staff shone with holy light.

Inside the city gates, the original outposts have been renovated and several new outposts have been put into use.

All the merchants or mercenary teams who came to the town saw such a complete guardhouse, and they all had a new evaluation of the strength of the town.

Next to the outpost, there are already people setting up stalls in a modest market, and across the street is a hospital under construction.

Neo rubbed out the medical books and told Van and Rebecca to study while they sat in the hospital. The whole town is alive and thriving.

The only one who is dissatisfied with the status quo is Master Sean, because the town is facing too many things, although the Bright Holy Cult has sent a large number of slaves, it is still not enough, and the construction of the factory has been delayed again and again.

Sean looked at the large number of materials that could not be put into production, and sighed every day. Now, Master Sean guards Neo almost every day, asking Neo to send more men.

At the entrance of the market is a steamed bun shop and a noodle shop, the cage drawer of the steamed bun shop is steaming white, and the men in the noodle shop have blades flying in their hands, peeling off the dough sheets, and in a few moments, a steaming bowl of knife-cut noodles is ready.

Further inside from the market gate, the first few houses that come into view are the places where the materials of the market are identified, and the professionals left behind by the Archbishop of Langananus are stationed, these people are dressed in robes, and they are dedicated to the various gems, herbs, minerals, and monsters of the Warcraft Forest

Crystal nuclei are experts in the evaluation.

Even though no one was coming to trade right now, these members of the Illuminated Cult were still sitting behind the counter with a stern face, and Bishop Pinches was tirelessly talking to them, telling them not to be so serious, and it was better to have a smile on their faces: "You all relax a little." want

Remember, you are not in the Light Court now, but with ordinary people and mercenaries. Don't keep a straight face. ”

Neo, Count Fabilas and others came to the market, and the owners of the bun shop and noodle shop greeted them warmly, and Count Fabilas said with emotion: "When I was studying at the Academy of the Northern Spring, my teacher Elcart said that every emperor is a king

And the lords all know that those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and they all desire to have the hearts of the people. The teacher said that it is very simple, just exchange hearts for hearts, as long as you make the people's lives better, they will embrace you. However, looking at the entire continent, there are a few more people who can do it. Something

Easier said than done. Neo, you're doing a good job so far, but don't be complacent, there are too few people here at the moment, and in the future, there will be more people here, and many things will not be as simple as they are now. ”

The Count regarded Neo as his successor and never forgot to teach Neo.

The two chatted and strolled, picking out the goods they wanted in front of the stalls one by one.

These merchants or mercenaries who came to Maple Grove were also accustomed to this peaceful lord, and bargained with Neo with confidence.

In order to stimulate the market, Maple Grove also opened a shop of his own, and Neo often sold the items he got from the depths of the Abyss and the Warcraft Forest.

These were very ordinary things for Neo, but they were rare treasures in the eyes of other merchants, and whenever these items appeared in Maplewood's own shops, many merchants rushed up and swept away the goods.

Neo said: "There are still too few mercenaries who come to us to adventure, and the best-selling goods on the continent still have to be obtained from the Warcraft Forest, and there are fewer mercenaries who come to adventure, so the benefits in this area cannot be reflected." Moreover, the merchants and mercenaries who came at present were still coming by land

Come, I would like to take a few ships to personally run the Tentacle Strait to tell everyone that the passage to the sea has been opened. ”

The Count said, "Yes! Let me make this trip, I originally wanted to go to Qiwangzhai in person, first, to see how they are doing, and secondly, to ask them to hand over a few more boats to come out. And the Principality of Snow Ridge, they didn't leave a mission stationed here to talk to us

Develop friendships? This time, we asked them to buy a boat and let them do the same. ”

Neo said: "Uncle Faberia, if you go in person, those guys in the Seven Kings Village are afraid that even the Duchy of Snow Ridge will be abandoned, but the situation there is not stable enough now, so let's let Tina run first." The old and the young looked at each other and smiled.

Back at the City Lord's Mansion, Neo sent someone to inform Cannet, and when Cannet came to the City Lord's Mansion, Neo proposed to buy a ship, and Cannet returned to his residence and began to contact Andit.

The Duchy of Snow Ridge soon replied that the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Earl Andit, would personally lead the fleet to Maple Grove Town, and brought six large ships as a gift from both sides.
