After rebirth, I became the dragon lord

Lu Tianlian regretted it so much that he immediately slapped himself until half of his face was burning, so that he could regain his consciousness a little bit.

Then there was a commotion outside the city lord's palace, and the knight leader was the first to come to him.

Before the knight commander could speak, Lu Tianlian couldn't wait to move forward and suppressed the uneasiness in his heart:

"How's it going? Have you invited that adult?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but swallow, and placed his hands nervously on his chest. At the same time, he was still unwilling to look away, and waited for their answer.

Seeing that the city lord was acting uncharacteristically, the knight leader didn't know what to say and stared blankly, which made Lu Tianlian anxious.

Just when Lu Tianlian wanted to continue talking, Iris walked gently into the city lord's palace and looked at him quietly, followed by several other knights he sent there.

Elis didn't want to talk nonsense and went straight to the point:

"Okay, although I don't know why you invited me here, I'm not interested anyway, but I just hope that you can agree to join my force. As for other things, let's talk about it later when you are free!"

Elise's eyes flickered and she looked at Lu Tianlian seriously. She was determined to win this border city.

If she can't even take down a border city, what qualifications does she have to set her sights on those sanctuary cities again? Let alone if she can unify the entire Evernight Forest!

Hearing what Elis said, Ruona, who was closest to Elis, was startled first, looking in the direction of Elis with a look of disbelief, and then glanced at the city lord Lu Tianlian.

The city lord wouldn't be angry with such a bold statement, right? The two of them wouldn't fight, right? If they did fight, who would she help?

Because there were so many things to consider, Ruona's head was buzzing. To be honest, if possible, she didn't want to get involved in this muddy water. Judging from Lu Tianlian's character, she wouldn't give it at all.

It looks cool to outsiders.

But this time it was different. What surprised Ruona the most was that instead of getting angry, Lu Tianlian laughed loudly at Elise, and immediately held his hands and said:

"Of course, you must be the one destined by the oracle! It would be an honor for me, Mr. Lu, to be loyal to you! Of course, I have nothing to say..."

"That's very good! But what do you mean by the oracle and the destined person?"

Elise was slightly startled. She originally thought that it might take a little more effort to subdue Lu Tianlian, but she didn't expect that Lu Tianlian would agree so readily.

[Lord: Iris, number of territories owned: 1]

[Subordinate city lord: Lu Tianlian, current favorability: 270, grade: Golden Orchid Deed]

Usually when they first met, their favorability fluctuated between 0 and 100. She wasn't sure why Lu Tianlian's initial favorability towards her was so high. Could it be because she protected the border city? Maybe.

It’s not just that!

"This is something left by the previous city lord. I don't know the specifics, but one day, there will be a savior in red robes who will save us. I have always believed it until now.

!”

The more Lu Tianlian talked, the more excited he became. His trembling hands tried to grab Elise's hand several times, but she deliberately dodged it. An indescribable complex feeling reverberated in her heart.

What are the oracles? Originally, she would not believe in these superstitions at all, but her inexplicable rebirth and arrival into this world showed that many things could not be explained theoretically.

Just seeing Lu Tianlian so excited that he couldn't speak clearly, she had to start to wonder, is this guy really reliable?

Forget it...why is she thinking so much at this time?

Anyway, her main goal of taking over this border city has been achieved. The only thing she has to worry about is that the resources here are really pitiful! The inventory of the entire city lord's mansion is only a few bags of rice, and some miscellaneous goods.

..

By the way... before night falls, let's send some people to find Tang Muyu and the others!

It would be best if we could meet other summoners who have newly arrived in this world and bring them back together. After all, these newcomers need to be trained from scratch. If you want to survive in this world as soon as possible with your own abilities, it is

An extremely difficult thing.

Even if you are lucky enough not to be torn apart by the demon species, you will starve to death sooner or later. After all, berries are not a way to relieve hunger. In the long run, they will cause weakness and nutritional deficiencies in the body.

Just when Iris was about to speak, several guards broke in at the door and hurriedly ran to Lu Tianlian. They were also in charge of controlling the prison. When they saw Lu Tianlian, they shouted out anxiously:

"City Lord! Something bad has happened!"

How is it appropriate to shout?

Lu Tianlian was already angry in his heart, and he originally planned to slap him for the big mouth, but seeing that because Elise was by his side, he had to behave like a gentleman no matter what when he was around the lord.

So looking at the two guards, Lu Tianlian suddenly showed a Virgin-like smile and patted their shoulders:

"Haha, what are you so worried about? Come on, come on, relax, relax! Speak slowly!"

I originally thought that Lu Tianlian was going to get angry, scaring both of them half to death, but looking at Lu Tianlian's smile, goosebumps rose in my heart. I was so scared, but I still said despite the pressure:

"It's like this... City Lord, the recent refugees from outside... ah no, there are too many adventurers. As you know, our economy is not developing well here, and those adventurers are penniless.

They try their best to come and have sex for free, but the key to eating and drinking is that they don’t have any money! According to your instructions, we have arrested them all, but..."

When they said this, the two of them started to turn pale, and because they talked too much at first, they felt like they couldn't breathe at one breath.

This made Lu Tianlian a little anxious. He patted the latter's chest and almost caused the speaking guard to die on the spot. However, Lu Tianlian didn't notice it at all and just continued to ask:

"Tell me! What happened next? If these adventurers don't follow the rules, our chief knight will suppress them. Is there any problem?"

"Ahem...that's it, because the adventurers from outside are really too much, and they are all like reincarnations of starving ghosts. They haven't eaten for who knows how long. So next time, our food supply

It’s almost not enough, we really can’t feed so many people!”

Another guard responded quickly and cautiously, looking at Lu Tianlian's face. The number of captured adventurers might have grown from dozens of people at the beginning to nearly a hundred people now. This is not a

Small amount.

Moreover, such an important matter concerns the entire border city. If Lu Tianlian is not happy, he will probably kick them out directly!

"Ah...that's all. You guys should go out first!"

Lu Tianlian waved his hands casually and smiled innocently. Under the disbelieving looks of the two guards, he actually wanted to cry in his heart.

When he turned around and saw Elise looking at him like a fool, he no longer knew how to express the pain in his heart.

Ha...if she knew that the entire finance of their border city was only five silver coins a month, wouldn't she be laughed to death by the lord!

"That's it, let this matter be decided by your lord!"

Lu Tianlian tried hard to keep his final image from collapsing. Even if their border city's financial strength was limited and they couldn't support that much, then he should use the most tactful means to persuade Iris to drive away these adventurers.

.

"Well...if that's the case, then let's take them all under our command! Order to go down and bring them all to the City Lord's Mansion first!"

Elise smiled softly. She knew very well that for these aborigines, the so-called adventurers were the summoners who once came from the same world as her, and they met them by chance.

This is only the third day of Advent. Unsurprisingly, in the next four days or so, more summoners will flock to shelter cities and ordinary towns, because only such places can effectively resist the night.

The threat of demons.

"But...lord, we really can't feed so many people anymore!"

Lu Tianlian was about to cry, but since it was him who said it, he regretted it so quickly. He boasted about Haikou and it was hard to take it back for a while. It was more of a feeling that made him at a loss.

At the price of one copper coin for a bag of rice, if you want to feed an additional 100 people, you have to spend at least one gold coin in a short period of time.

What a joke, the economy of their border city is a problem just to maintain the food and clothing of ordinary residents. They can only barely maintain a self-sufficient state, instead of being so easily broken by the outside world!

"It's okay. Let's solve the food problem first. Just send people to other shelter cities to buy it. Remember, buy as much as you can!"

Elis took out three gold coins with his backhand and put them in Lu Tianlian's hand. He turned around under the shocked look on the latter's face and said softly:

"Remember, don't forget what I told you."

"Also, go get a new set of armor! There should be more in the city lord's mansion..."

As if remembering something, Elise turned to Cartel, but still sighed. Her only possessions now are almost these three gold coins. If she continues to spend them like this, she will probably have to slow down the matter of the space ring.

Anyway, it won't be needed in a short time.

"yes!"

Seeing that Elis seemed to have something on his mind, Carter responded and retreated first.

Elise stared at the palm of her hand for a long time. The only thing she had to worry about was that after the Advent period passed, the evil night she faced would last for at least a month. At that time, there would be more and more refugees and wandering summoners.

Just relying on these foods is not enough...

If possible, she recalled that there were many ways to obtain seeds, and those rarer species could produce a lot of good things.

But the current planting area in the border city is not enough, and water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the nearer. In just four days, everything happened too fast!

Before that, we must find a way to collect more food!
