"Don't you have the answer yourself?" Pirias asked back.
With a look of astonishment on his face, William smiled wryly, and said, "I can't hide it from Mr. Pirias—it should be the tree house of the elves!"
"Tree house? What is that?" Black Barman asked puzzled.
"I've heard the rumors of the elves. According to reports, within the scope of the World Tree, the elves all live on the tree poles of the World Tree, where there are houses that they built entirely of plants such as vines and tree poles. , should be similar to the houses that suddenly popped up in the refugee gathering place today. Moreover, the unheard-of style, I am afraid that only the elves who are called natural artists can make it? The only problem is-"
"Why do the elves help them, don't they?" Pirias interrupted.
"Indeed, does Lord Pirias know?"
"No, that's exactly what I'm wondering about!" Pirias couldn't count everything, let alone he was wrong, "But anyway, we still have to find a way to get the information inside." ! Our boss has already dispatched a lot of scouts to investigate, and I believe we will get something in the near future.”
"Our side is the same. Although it is not as powerful as the soldiers under Lord Bazel, it can still be worth a little bit of use." William said humbly, and then several people present looked at Hei Barman.
"Look at me? Didn't everyone come to discuss what to do?"
"Well, I don't think we can have any hope for him." William shook his head helplessly.
"Exactly, I think so too." Pirias echoed, and several people immediately laughed.
Even though Hei Barman knew they were laughing at him, he didn't know what they were laughing at, so he could only feel depressed inside.
Chapter 33 The Slave Hunters
1. "My lords, Lord Hammura is here."
Just as the atmosphere in the temporary meeting room fell into silence, a guard suddenly came in.When several people heard his words, they all had delicate expressions, and they didn't know what they were thinking. Only Bazel waved the nurse back.
"Hahaha...Brother William, Brother Black Barman, Lord Bazel, it's been a long time!"
He heard his voice before seeing him, and heard a rough voice coming from a long distance.Soon, a blond middle-aged man with two short short black beards appeared at the door. He was touching his short beard with a smile. His face was full of gentleness, and he looked like a friendly old man. .However, anyone who is familiar with him knows that if you ignore him easily, you will suffer unpredictable losses-provided that you have the interests he needs!
As for what this benefit is, it needs to be weighed by him.Even if you are just a penniless refugee, if he values you, he will squeeze out your juices for the benefit he needs. He is a very ruthless man.
Full name Hammura?Capricorn is a slave trader who lives up to his name.He was born in a noble family of the Roman Empire, but when he was just 15 years old, he saw that his position in the family would be very embarrassing, because he was a bastard, and his mother was a slave!
So, on the day of his bar mitzvah, he, like his equally ruthless father, begged Hope to go out and run for the family.Although his father was surprised, he had no intention of objecting. He gave him a dozen guards and a lot of gold coins and let him leave the family.
Been fighting for nearly 30 years.Hammura has become a slave leader today by relying on everything brought out by his family, and his Capricorn slave hunting group has made countless people change their faces.The surname Capricorn was given to him by himself, and the original surname had been abandoned by him long ago.
Not only is he active in Orleans, he is even active in the orc tribes in the western part of the Conferred God Continent. His itinerary covers almost the entire Conferred God Continent. Then even if he is in the devil world, he will grab the gold coins and give them to customers!
This is an extremely mysterious slave trader. No one knows what he has experienced in the past few decades. The only thing that can be known is that the power under him cannot be underestimated, and through the sale of a large number of slaves.His web of relationships can be extremely complex.Even he himself once laughed that he didn't know which force he hadn't interacted with.
One can imagine that Hammura's horror.In the past few years, his target was the natural elves in Orleans. Although he had captured many elves earlier, most of them were of mixed race.Or some mutant elves.The true spirit of nature is rarely captured.to this end.He sent people in the territory of Orleans to constantly monitor the living habits of the natural elves, and even bought a natural elf, but it was a pity that he was discovered by the World Tree.
"Mr. Capricorn, please be polite." Bazel made a welcome gesture as a representative, because Hammura's strength is extremely terrifying, and their three bandits have long been secretly meeting with Bazel as the leader. This is also for better assembly Their strength, so as not to be a tragedy after being stabbed in the back by someone before recovering!
"Hehe, where is it?" Hammura gave Bazel a big hug in a friendly manner, "How is it, how is your discussion going?"
Several people looked at each other, and Bazel replied: "In this case, we actually guess that the abnormality that happened in the refugee gathering place is related to the elves!"
"Oh, nature elves?" Hammura nodded, "Get up, my people also found that some nature elves are moving to the refugee gathering place!"
"Really?" Bazel and the others cried out in a low voice. Although they were guessing, they were still not very confident. After all, this was really too weird, even if a necromancer abandoned his necromantic magic and switched to light magic .
"That's natural." Hammura also understood the reactions of several people, "Besides, the refugee gathering place is no longer called the gathering place, but the Orleans Territory!"
"Orleans collar?" Several people looked at each other, not quite understanding what they meant.
"Your news is really blocked!" Hammura teased, "Now the owner of that territory has returned. You should have received news more than a month ago, right?"
At this time, Hei Barman suddenly called out: "Could it be that little boy under me?"
As soon as he exited, everyone looked at him.
"Actually, in fact, my nephew was killed outside the refugee gathering place before. I heard that it was a little boy who did it. Later, my second-in-charge also went to the refugee gathering place to inquire, but it seemed that he was also killed. The others who followed It seems that none of them came back, I don’t know if they all died.”
Is that because those people are afraid that you will find them? !Everyone screamed inwardly.
Hei Baman has a bad habit, that is, he loves to vent his anger on others. As the second in charge of Drogba, if Drogba dies, if the other pawns go back to the cottage unharmed, they will all be killed. This is why no one has reported to Heiyun The reason for the bandits.
"Oh? Did Drogba be killed? I remember that Drogba is already a fifth-level intermediate? He will be killed, and since your people dare not come back, it means that only a few of them survived? Otherwise, I'm afraid What an 'accident' really happened!" Hammura raised his eyebrows, showing surprise.
"Why didn't you tell us earlier?" William couldn't help screaming, but he also knew that he couldn't blame the other party, who made them still hostile before?Even now, it is possible to meet each other at any time!
"This, I didn't hide it on purpose!" Hei Barman probably knew he was wrong, so he just muttered without saying anything.
"I think that's not the point now. What we're going to discuss now is how to deal with the Orleans Lord—this is the name given by the new Lord." Hammura patted, and one by one came outside the door. A huge sand table, densely marked with something.
"This is?!" William narrowed his eyes and looked at Hammura in disbelief, "Is this the whole picture of the leader of Orleans?"
"You guessed it right, this is the sand table I prepared based on the patterns drawn from the sky by a few slaves who are good at this kind of work." Hammura shrugged indifferently.
Several other people almost understood how difficult it is to make an accurate sand table, and that thing can only be used in real wars!Especially Pirias, the shock on his face is obvious - no one knows better than him the importance of the sand table to the overall view, and no one knows better than him the high standard of sand table making!
"This, this is simply a masterpiece!" Pirias looked at it several times excitedly. He was lucky enough to see this kind of sand table when he was a regular general before. At that time, he was always fascinated by the sand table. It will suddenly appear in front of his eyes!
"Hehe, I can get this kind of thing too!" Hammura posed modestly, but if he had seen ultra-modern high-tech holographic images, what would he think?
"How come? With this sand table, it means that we have won half a point first!" Pirias said excitedly.
"Pirias seems to be fascinated by this thing? Why don't you have a chance to come and see me next time?"
"Really? Then—"
Just when Pirias was about to agree, Bazel suddenly coughed and said, "Pirias, it's time to get down to business."
His face froze, and Pirias knew that he had almost fallen for Hammura, so he couldn't help but smiled wryly, "Mr. Capricorn is really amazing!"
"Really? It's a pity, I don't think Pirias's ability should be like this-oh, it seems to be rude?" Hammura bent over "behind the clock", "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, when I saw I can't stand the talent!"
"Where is it, I think Master Bazel must understand, everyone has it." In order to avoid the atmosphere from becoming awkward, William took the initiative to stand up and ease the situation.
However, looking at Bazel's gloomy face and the wry smile on Pirias' face, one can tell whether Hammola's words are useful or not!
And seeing this, even Hei Barman, who is not very scheming, can foresee a secret gap between Bazel and Pirias!This is actually a kind of overt conspiracy - knowing that the other party is just "joking", but I have to think in that direction, even if I know that I am following the other party's way.
Naturally, this is also related to Bazel's own mentality, but almost everyone present knows that this guy is very suspicious. Now that Hammura is doing this, I am afraid that the three thieves are themselves Going to be passive!
"Here, everyone, don't just stand around stupidly, let's all sit down and talk about it, the matter in Orleans is important!" William could only continue to play the role he didn't like with a bitter face, but there was no way, who let these He is the only one who can stand up now?Thank goodness for letting the rough old man Hei Barman not mess up the atmosphere even more!
"Hehe, Mr. William must be right. Let's sit down and discuss slowly, everyone?" Hammura was the first to echo William, and sat down very clearly at the conference table, on which the sand table he brought was already placed. .
I'm afraid this person is just doing it casually? !Seeing his behavior, William and Pirias looked at each other, and at the same time looked at Bazel, both shook their heads secretly.They also understand why Bazel is like this, but if they understand it, what they really think depends on what they think in their hearts, especially for Pirias, I'm afraid it's not an easy thing. !
Chapter 34 Wai
1. "My lord, there is an urgent report!"
Joan of Arc rushed into the lord's mansion, because there were not many people inside, let alone servants and maids, so she ran in yelling.
"Oh, Jeanne, are you here? Come in quickly."
When Joan of Arc entered the inner courtyard, she found that her lord was fiddling with something in front of a strange machine. Looking at the suspected alchemy machine, she deeply felt that she needed supplementary knowledge, but the lord was sorry if she didn’t Open your mouth to learn.What's more, she has been busy with affairs in the territory recently, and she has no time to study.
The most important thing is that even if she wants to study, she doesn't want to be crowded with a group of children in a place called a classroom - Ye Bainian's first implementation is nothing but education!
In his view, even if this territory is to become stronger, it will not happen overnight.What's more, there are not many young and strong people in the territory, and they are not as many as the bandits combined. How can we fight?Therefore, he simply listened to Paqiuli's opinion and started the school directly bypassing other matters, which was considered to be in line with the policies he had promulgated before.
Another point in the construction of the territory is the need to defend against the attacks of the bandits and the sneak attacks of the slave hunters. If this is not resolved, even if the entire territory is built up, it will only be for others to make wedding dresses!However, Ye Bainian and Paqiuli were the first to decide to implement the education policy after thinking about this point!
Don't think that his wooden escape ninjutsu was learned in vain!Separating dozens of Mutun clones to monitor around the territory is much more powerful than ordinary inspections.What's more, the Mutun information given by the system is not just that of the first Hokage.There are also wood escape secrets and various branches of wood escape that even the first Hokage didn't understand, such as the unique grass escape ninjutsu!
Ye Bainian's avatar can sensitively sense any subtle changes by virtue of the surrounding plants—plants don't have a nervous reflex system, but what they have is instinctive perception similar to intuition, and many plants can even sense subtle changes through subtle changes. The responses showed various phenomena.The premise is that you must understand the language of plants.
Obviously, even if Ye Bainian doesn't know the language of plants, which doesn't exist, he can still perceive the reactions of plants through life chakra.This is like a plant-type radar!
As the clone of Mu Dun, how could it be possible that he has no attack ability?When necessary, they can also attack jointly, which can be the integration of defense and attack.
This is also the outermost layer of defense, and the next thing is naturally the guard army formed inside the territory.With the permission of the Marquis Ye Bainian.In his territory, it is possible to form an army for defending the territory.The number of people is limited to 5000 or less.This is still the most basic number of people. With the geographical scope of the Orleans Territory, you can apply to expand the number. After all, the size of the territory is different.
Currently, Ye Bainian only selected about 1000 young and strong men as members of the guard army.The others were all used by him to build the territory.The elderly and women were naturally arranged to cultivate the land.
He specially exchanged a few solar-powered automatic tillage machines.And it turns out that the exchange within the system is always n times lower than the information and materials for ready-made products!Ten semi-intelligent cultivators cost him 100 million treasure points.It's also worth it.
In addition, he and he exchanged a lot of grains, all kinds of them.They are also systematically refined varieties that are completely free of side effects and are most suitable for the land of Orleans.
Others include some necessary daily necessities, as well as training equipment, weapons and armor needed to train the guards, etc.
With these, almost all the citizens were so excited that they couldn’t help themselves. Of course, when they were excited, everyone spontaneously obeyed the orders of the lord. He was beaten and escorted to the guards, where he was detained in a temporary prison.
It's just that the baby points, which were considered to be small savings, immediately became empty. Fortunately, he now has nearly 6000 baby points in his account every day. Naturally, they belong to those girls, and it's not clear who they belong to.Incidentally, he also sorted out some of the props he had obtained, such as the mysterious items obtained in the main mission of the dungeon: Future Diary War ([-]) the real boss.
It's also considered lucky, a few badges were issued, counting everything, Ye Bainian now has 9 badges and a Pikachu suit - it seems to be the props that the transformation system needs, but unfortunately the transformation system has not been activated, Can only play half of the power.That's not the point, the point is that he thinks that if he gives this thing to Miqin, he might be chased and killed. You know, that guy is a tsundere and tired type!
After thinking about it, Ye Bainian decided to come back later.
"Hey? You're Sister Lily?" Naye exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Lily, why are you here?" Naye's familiar personality made her always seem to be surprised by everyone.
"Lily? Well, I'm sorry, I'm Joan of Arc—er, you are?!" Joan turned her eyes, only to find that a certain golden haired king was eating a piece of meat wantonly with her stupid hair.
As the saying goes, there are at least three people in the world who look exactly like you, in other words, there are at least four people in the world who look exactly like you.Counting Lily, Artoria, Joan of Arc, and the unknown Nero, it happens to be four!So, this sentence is actually quite reasonable?
"Huh? Oh, it's Leah, she looks very similar to you, right? Hehe, there is actually someone who looks like you were carved out of a mill! Compared to Leah, her temperament is similar to yours. It's also very close, I was mistaken at first!" Ye Bainian turned his head to find that Joan of Arc was staring at Artoria dumbfounded, and couldn't help but introduce it aloud.
Joan of Arc recalled what the lord called her when they first met, and recalled the name Naye called her, and asked, "Could it be called Lily?"
"Yeah, she is the star of hope for Britain. I think she will be able to unify Britain in the near future! Her full name is Lily? Pendragon!"
"Lily? Pendragon?" A trace of confusion flashed across her eyes, and then they turned into more determined ones. Joan secretly clenched her fists.
Ye Bainian vaguely sensed something, and said: "Compared to Lily, I don't think your future achievements, Joan of Arc, will be much worse than hers. I've lived my life, and I'm very optimistic about you. It's not random!"
Wouldn't it be much worse than her?Since the lord has so much confidence in me, then I can't admit defeat!Thinking of this, Joan of Arc relaxed her fist again, and her heart quickly regained her calm.
"Nice mentality! Edward, is this your child with great potential? In terms of mentality, he is indeed very good!" Paqiuli casually glanced at Joan of Arc, calmly drinking the black tea brought out from the space of Gensokyo.
"She is Paqiuli? Noreki, one of my most important family members, is also a holy magician. If you want to learn magic, you can learn from her. Don't look at Paqi like this, but she is very hot inside. of!"
"Cough, cough, cough!" Choking on the black tea, Paqiuli gave Ye Bainian a dissatisfied look, "If you want to learn magic, you can come to me."
"A holy magician?!" Jeanne's eyes widened, feeling that she had been hit again—no, she should have been shocked, "Compared to, compared to magic, I want to learn to read and write..." She He said weakly.
A gleam of appreciation flashed in her eyes, and Paqiuli said: "Yes, knowledge is power. If you can't read, you should practice hard! After a while, I think you will have a chance!"
"Hey, really?" Joan opened her mouth in surprise, looking extremely cute.
"What is knowledge, Miss Scarface? Is it delicious?" Artoria listened to half of the words, and asked Scarface next to her while biting a piece of meat.
