Her voice is slightly rough and her timbre is also very generous.

It's not like ordinary women's voices, neither gentle nor pleasant.

However, her words still conveyed deep concern.

Chen Rui, who was thinking calmly, slowly turned around after hearing this.

A warm smile appeared on the cold and melancholy face.

He reached out and caressed the side of her face.

"Garona, thank you,"

Chen Rui took over the fur cloak with one hand.

The other hand moved down from the side of her face and hugged her shoulder.

He hugged her to his side.

At the same time, he flicked his cloak, and the wide and thick fur cloak covered both of them.

Her name is Garona Halforson, and she is a "half-orc".

He was also a powerful hero in the last era.

This is an ancient altar in the area recently explored by Chen Rui, which was repaired and recruited with powerful rare-level souls.

In the memory of his previous life, Garona was the most powerful hero in this area.

In this life, he was the first to arrive, opened up the ruins first, and brought back the incomplete altar.

Garona is similar to Vereesa under Zong Shen, both have their own stories and past events.

A part of his power was also banned. After being recruited, he became a rare hero.

The Kugit Empire and the Rhodok Kingdom are both located in the western part of the continent.

There is a large stretch of hills here, occupying nearly half of the two kingdoms respectively.

For the lords around here, the most common types of troops they recruit are basically the ancient orcs.

The same goes for many ruins and battlefields.

Because this place once belonged to the territory of the ancient orc empire in the last era more than 10,000 years ago.

The ancient orcs, like the elves, were one of the protagonists of the last era.

The status is like the human kingdom today.

That's why the relevant altars are found here.

Chen Rui took advantage of the "privilege" of loyalty to pass some equipment that had been reserved in advance.

There are also some characters about Garona that I overheard in my previous life.

It's easy to gain loyalty in just a few days.

Gained Garona's admiration and trust in him.

This is a hero with advanced assassin talents.

After the crypt challenge, the population of Chen Rui's territory increased again.

Among them is Garona's contribution.

Through advanced stealth and superb assassination skills, she helped Chen Rui clear the obstacles among the indigenous people.

Quickly took control of a nearby village.

Now he has become the behind-the-scenes controller of that village.

However, in order to avoid suspicion, he did not immediately bring the entire population under his control.

Instead, it first absorbed a small number of villagers and heroic talents with good quality.

The remaining population continues to maintain the operation of the village intact.

Initial commercial circulation between villages and territories was achieved.

At the same time, it will not let the population of a village fall into the lord challenge.

This greatly reduces the material consumption of the challenge.

Compared with Zong Shen's eager expansion mentality.

He has a very clear path for the development of the territory.

This is one of the advantages of being reborn.

In some ways, he also has advantages that Zong Shen cannot compare with for the time being.

Chen Rui and Garona were leaning on the terrace.

He put his arms around Garona, her soft body full of touch.

Let him feel each other's body temperature and presence.

After the crypt challenge ended and the weather changed, he noticed it.

Using various resources, we prepared a batch of cold-proof materials.

In addition to using this batch of supplies to keep the people warm from the cold, the rest will be [sold] by him.

Like Zong Shen, he would not let go of this opportunity to make a fortune.

Of course, his material reserves are not as large as Zong Shen's.

After all, in addition to purchasing supplies through the village, Zong Shen also received help from the governor of the state.

At this moment, there was silence in Chen Rui's territory.

Only a few soldiers wearing thick coats were patrolling along fixed routes.

This moment is a rare moment of leisure and comfort.

There is no time more suitable to think about than now.

Just as the two of them were being affectionate, a red-beaked parrot flew into the territory tremblingly.

It fell on the stone railing of the terrace.

The parrot shivered in the cold wind.

Smartly walked along the stone railing to Chen Rui's side.

He hid his body in the shielding gap of the cloak.

Then he began to speak in a loud voice.

"Dear Lord Chen Rui, Lord O'Donnell asked me to ask you."

"Excuse me, when can I have the hot pot you mentioned before?"

"For the hot pot, Lord O'Donnell went hunting in the mountains and forests in the morning."

Listening to the parrot's words, Chen Rui couldn't help laughing.

"That guy O'Donnell is still like this."

"Enzo, go back and tell him to come to the appointment before 7 o'clock tonight."

"Otherwise, climate change will prevent him from coming."

As Chen Rui said this, he took out some kind of crop fruit or seeds that looked like cashew nuts from his storage compartment, and placed it next to the red-beaked parrot's mouth.

The parrot named Enzo grabbed the nut in his beak.

It was swallowed into the stomach in three or two gulps.

Without much response, he got out of the cloak directly.

He flapped his wings and flew in the direction he came from.

In the cold wind, the little parrot was frozen to death.

While flying, he was still muttering.

"Enzo is freezing to death..."

"Bad stuff!"

…

The arrival of Enzo, the red-beaked parrot, made Chen Rui's originally worried mood much better.

The guy named Odenel is also a lord.

He is a lord from the bullfighting country.

In Chen Rui's previous life, the two were close friends.

O'Donnell is a very interesting man and a very reliable companion.

This has been verified in the previous life.
