Chapter 102 A visit from a stranger

There was destined to be a battle with the Explorers, who ranked first in overall strength, but Lin Rui closed the communication template without caring.

As a strong person, you must have absolute confidence in yourself.

Although it is difficult to imagine how many cheats the Earth Mother God gave this believer, which caused him to be firmly locked at the top of the rankings from the beginning.

But even if his strength is unfathomable, Lin Rui has no fear at all.

He covets Lin Rui's wealth, and Lin Rui also wants the territorial spirits on the cornerstone of his territory!

At this time, we must fight with all our strength and firmly believe that those who jump from the beam will be killed no matter how strong they are!

So Lin Rui even had time to recruit the political officer Solo and ask him to return Chu Wudi's 100,000 yuan of various supplies.

The interest of 50,000 yuan seemed exaggerated before tonight.

But now, for Lin Rui, whose points are rolling like water on the wealth ranking list, even if it is not a drop in the bucket, it is just a matter of sprinkling water.

When the political officer Solo saw Lin Rui, he immediately came up to Lin Rui. He pointed at the two tables in the corner of the tavern beside Lin Rui's shoulder and said in a low voice: "Lord, the guests at the two tables over there are all from other places.

People."

Foreigner?

Lin Rui looked in the direction of Solo's finger, and it turned out that he was dressed outside the territory.

Even though Lin Rui's territory is very prosperous, it is still essentially a feudal fief territory, far behind the normal technological level of the empire. The environment is very closed. At present, the villagers basically do not go out, and there are no outsiders during the seven-day safety period.

People visit the territory.

People from the Lucerne Chamber of Commerce came, but their camp was set up outside the village.

Therefore, several strangers came into the village and immediately attracted the attention of the administrative officer.

The foreigners he refers to obviously refer to outsiders who are not citizens of the territory. The biggest difference between the dress of these people and the citizens is not that they all wear leather clothes, but that they all carry long-range weapons with them.

Some people carry strong bows and crossbows on their backs, and some people hang large-caliber black powder pistols on their waists. They say they are muskets, but they are actually the same as cannons. The muzzles of the guns are probably as thick as a child's fist.

Such an obvious long-range feature is very different from the melee tyrants in the territory. You must know that the soldiers in the territory, even the vampire priests, are brothers. They can pick up a big sword and rush into the battlefield to chop.

They were all covered in blood. Unlike them, they all just had a one-handed sword hanging on their waist.

Lin Rui asked: "Who are they? They don't look like they want to defect to our territory."

If they defected to the territory and saw the lord of the territory, how could they continue to sit there? They had already come to greet and salute.

Zoro immediately replied: "Lord, I asked. They are human demon hunters and dwarf rangers. Indeed, they did not defect to our territory. They just passed by our territory and went to the tavern to replenish their health. You know, these hunters

Demons and rangers often wander around the borders of civilization. They will ambush Chaos warbands, clean up small greenskin camps, sweep goblins, and obtain loot."

Lin Rui asked: "Is it that simple?"

It was really hard for Lin Rui to believe their words. How could any demon hunter go to a village to replenish supplies?

Solo said: "I don't believe what they say either. I guess they must be coveting the wealth of the territory. After all, many demon hunters and rangers are entrusted by the imperial villages to eliminate some monsters around the villages in order to obtain rewards in world currency.

.I guess they must have followed people from the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce."

During the exchange between the two, there was a sound of dense and heavy footsteps outside the tavern. After the door opened, a group of knights surrounded Violet and walked in happily.

The knights, who were about two meters tall, were wearing heavy armor. As they walked into the tavern, the light in the entire tavern dimmed.

Even compared to a single knight, the demon hunters and rangers in the corner looked weak, not to mention that these knights were densely packed in the tavern.

Everyone immediately concluded that this was a village that must not be messed with. The ordinary farmers in the village were all tall and burly, which was enough to surprise them. Now these knights are as strong as iron towers. They can't understand at all. These people

How could he be so tall? He is clearly an enhanced version of the big guy.

The knights were still very respectful when they saw Lin Rui. After all, even if the lord stood there with his hands behind his hands and a bunch of his mirror images rushed into the knights' formation, he could still beat the knights.

Respect comes from strength. The knights immediately saluted respectfully: "I have met your lord, good day."

The buzzing sound echoed in the tavern, causing the rangers and demon hunters in the corner to tense up.

I’m afraid no one would be able to relax if they sat next to a room full of tall and burly knights wearing heavy armor.

Not to mention using swords, even if they were drunk and started a drunken fight, these outsiders would probably be beaten to the ground by these knights who looked like iron towers.

Lin Rui waved his hand and said to Solo: "Forget it, don't guess. I'll just go and ask. Even if they have some plot, they can't make any waves in front of the military power of our territory."

Then Lin Rui walked to the table in the corner and said to them: "Hello, foreigners."

Several people stood up at the same time, bowed to Lin Rui, and said, "Hello, powerful Explorer Lord."

Lin Rui said with a smile: "Welcome to our Golden Pansy Flower Collar. I treat you with these glasses of wine as a courtesy to the landlord."

Demon hunters tend to have weird tempers. After all, they deal with monsters every day, so they inevitably become withdrawn and weird.

A dwarf ranger, being the more enthusiastic among them, took the initiative to bypass these strange and silent companions and replied on behalf of everyone: "Praise your generosity, my lord. I think everyone who passes by the golden pansy collar will tell all about your hospitality and hospitality as a lord.

Enthusiasm."

Several demon hunters also nodded. It was obvious that even the weird-tempered demon hunters had a good impression of the generous lord.

After saying hello, Lin Rui asked straight to the point: "I heard from my administrative officer that you plan to purchase supplies in my territory?"

The dwarf ranger immediately nodded his huge head heavily, and his beard swayed with his movements. Weng Sheng replied: "Sir Explorer, we rangers and demon hunters are all travelers looking for opportunities in all directions.

.To tell you the truth, we followed the convoy of the Lucerne Chamber of Commerce. As a famous chamber of commerce in the Eastern Continent, every time they expand, it means countless wealth. As expected, when we arrived here, we discovered the black tide.

Impact. We plan to clear out monsters around here and see if we can take on some quests."

Lin Rui became interested and asked, "What can you guys do?"

"This is too much. Although we are very laid-back and comfortable, we are by no means a group of idlers. If there is no income, we have to do something to make a living. Usually taking over tasks in the pub is our main income to meet the basic needs

Food, clothing, housing, transportation needs, as well as our costs for making weapons and repairing weapons, etc. For example, we can help the village clear the greenskin tribes and beastman warbands in the forests and valleys to prevent them from robbing you.

territory, kill your farmers."

Speaking of this, a demon hunter took the initiative to say: "Explorers, I suggest you add a few markets to your territory. As we drive away evil, we will bring many strange and supernatural things. If we rest in your territory,

I can sell it to you on the spot."

His words were cold and stiff, like a monster, which made people disgusted. It was obviously a well-intentioned suggestion, but it caused the knights in the tavern to focus on him.

Are you teaching the lord how to do things?

In an instant, everyone, including this demon hunter, had dense beads of sweat on their heads.

At this moment, everyone understood why some people would tremble in panic and sweat profusely in the face of powerful forces.

These powerful people were so angry that they shed rivers of blood.

However, Lin Rui didn't argue with him because he felt that the demon hunter's proposal was really good.

Compared with explorers, the population of this world is obviously larger, richer and more powerful.

A caravan can spend tens of thousands of spiritual crystal coins, and a large number of elite soldiers can be dispatched in a power war.

This is in sharp contrast to the explorers who have to pay attention to their speeches on the civilized channel and use every spiritual crystal coin carefully.

The best choice for explorers is to integrate into the world.

It is obviously a good choice to make the territory into an open place where explorers, adventurers, demon hunters, mercenaries, and rangers can all rest.

So Lin Rui replied directly to them: "I will consider your proposal. I will establish several trading areas, buy your trophies, provide you with weapons, equipment, and supplies. I will also allow you to accept tasks in the tavern.

, get benefits. I will release the first task of the tavern here. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Interested, interested!" the dwarf ranger immediately replied hastily. At this time, as long as the other party does not care about the tone of his companion's words, even if he is asked whether he is interested in the 800-pound female ogre, he will definitely answer that he is interested.

!

Lin Rui said formally: "The territory has not found an iron mine so far. This is the most troublesome thing in the territory now. I hope to entrust this task to you. If you successfully find an iron mine, I am willing to give it to you."

You pay thirty thousand world coins or one hundred spirit crystal coins."

[Task formation confirmation]

[Iron Nation: Loyalty, steel and psychic energy are the three magic weapons for victory in the Imperial Code. A nation with steel is an empire. Without steel, it is just a ignorant feudal feudal collar. The golden viola collar needs to find a place rich in iron ore.

Mineral veins, those who complete the task can receive a reward of 30,000 realm coins/100 spirit crystal coins.]

Lin Rui's eyes suddenly lit up, the Explorer actually had this function.

In an instant, he thought of a way to transform the wealth that ranked first in the wealth rankings into unparalleled strength.

These rangers opened up this opportunity with the witcher, but in the future, when the territory reaches the size of a small town, this approach will be one of the most important means for him to become stronger.

So while Violet was working with Audrey, Lin Rui focused on the development of the territory and asked the political officer Solo: "How is the wealth of the territory now?"

Solo immediately replied: "Lord, several heroes have been leading their troops to fight outside and have brought back a large amount of trophies. The trophies are still countless, but several key contents are already clear."

"The first is the population. Now the territory's population has rapidly expanded to 632 people, including six outstanding talents."

"The territorial army has also rapidly increased to one hundred and twenty-four. However, the scale is still increasing rapidly. Before you participate in the force war, this number is likely to exceed two hundred!"

This is what Lin Rui is most satisfied with. The territory has undoubtedly entered the fast lane of development. As long as he is given time, the strength of the territory will expand rapidly every day.
To be continued...
