First Lord of Earth

"My lord is back safely!"

When Xia Tian's figure dressed in silver walked out of the mysterious inn.

The soldiers who were trapped nearby had surprise on their faces and ran to report.

After hearing the news, although they followed Xia Tian's orders and took the time to do their own jobs, the faces of the major commanders and heroes who were still concerned all the time showed expressions of relief!

…

Half an hour later.

"So, this 'Mysterious Inn' is not only a threat to our territory, it is even a huge opportunity!"

I heard that Xia Tian explained the situation of the Mysterious Inn.

Jia Xu, who was dressed in purple robes, was holding a bamboo slip of military literature in his hand, stroking his beard, his eyes flashing.

"It's an opportunity, but there are also risks!"

"Those catastrophic creatures evolved from the evil thoughts and desires of the creatures who failed to enter the eternal land. They try to seize the fate of the creatures to 'change their lives' for themselves. Therefore, they are extremely aggressive and have no fear of death. After all, they themselves have already died."

"And on the battlefield behind the inn, there is no territorial shield to protect it, so there are not many people entering the mysterious inn this time. Follow the principle of metamorphosis and above, and voluntary participation."

Xia Tian said in his mouth.

"Sir, I obtained General Wu Qi's military training method in the secret realm, but now it lacks actual combat verification. Moreover, if the trapped camp wants to quickly improve their cultivation, they need to advance in the midst of killing... I hope your lord can allow all of us to participate!"

Gao Shun led a hundred soldiers who fell into the mortal camp and immediately asked for orders with excited eyes.

"Xuanjia Army also hopes to participate!"

Zhao Yun, who was dressed in silver armor, also spoke.

He has also inherited Xiang Yu's "Cavalry Combat", and is also responsible for creating "territory-exclusive troops". Now he also needs to gain recognition from the "Eternal Land" through battle, so that the troops he creates can obtain advanced attributes and live up to his expectations. Summer’s trust!

"I don't know, how many people are you planning to recruit, Lord?"

Li Ru spoke.

"We need to recruit at least two or three thousand people, right?"

Xia Tian thought for a while and said.

In theory, it is natural that “the more, the merrier.”

In fact, it mainly depends on how many "money beads" can be exchanged for in the end.

This is also the reason why he chose to cooperate with "Three Thousands", because with the latter's connections and channels in the mysterious inn, even if he can only stay for two or three days, he should be able to collect a large amount of "redemption" money beads.

"Commander Ding and Commander Zhu, please help the two of you store enough food in the past few days and build houses enough for two to three thousand people to live in so that the new arrivals can be accommodated!"

Xia Tian turned to look at Cook Ding and Zhu Youxiao.

"Sir, this may be difficult to handle...because your lord has ordered all the people to practice cultivation. Nowadays, a large amount of meat needs to be consumed in the territory every day. With the 'Shui Zhuan Bai Xi Tu', it is possible to catch fish. It is not difficult to maintain the weight of more than a thousand people." ! But if there are more, it will be a bit difficult, and the reserves of food, rice and noodles other than meat will be even more insufficient..."

The chef Ding, who was shirtless and participating in the discussion, looked embarrassed.

Not only is it difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, but even a master cook is difficult for him to cook without rice!

"This is pearl rice...it can mature once every half a month. If you plant it on the 'bone field', it will be enough to harvest one round in ten days."

"Qingwen, take it, use the 'Sun Gold Bottle' to catalyze it to get enough seeds, and then let people plant them as soon as possible... Before that, I will get some food for emergency use."

Xia Tian's hand flashed with light.

A handful of jade-white ears of grain appeared and he handed it to Qingwen behind him.

"It's great that you have such a magical thing in your hands! Now, those people won't complain about having big fish and meat every day..."

Cook Ding's face showed surprise.

Food is the most important thing for the people. For the Chinese people who are not nomadic people, the significance of rice to stabilize people's hearts is far greater than that of meat.

But, my dear, I have only had a few good days in total.

Now, do some people think that the food in the territory is too rich?

Xia Tian is a little speechless.

Compared to those in the Mysterious Inn who starve if they don't earn enough "money beads" every day, the food in his territory is indeed rich.

"There are two or three thousand people. If we just build some sheds to protect them from the wind and rain, it will be fine. But if we build one house for each household... we will definitely not have enough time, and the gap in building materials will be relatively large..."

Zhu Youxiao also had some difficulties.

You must know that in the past few days, all kinds of tiger bone wine, dragon bone wine and other food and drinks have been fully supplied, and when all the people have begun to practice, the physical fitness value of each person in the territory has skyrocketed.

Even an ordinary-looking middle-aged strong woman could knock down a two-meter-tall muscular man with one punch on Earth.

Therefore, with all the efforts of the territorial residents, they built shacks enough for two to three thousand people in three days.

It’s not too difficult!

However, the previous expansion of the territory consumed a lot of reserve resources. Even if the dark elves' buildings were demolished, not many houses could be built.

"It doesn't matter, let's arrange the shed first."

Xia Tian thought a little.

The people in the Mysterious Inn face a harsh environment. As long as they can escape from it, even if they are allowed to live in a shack temporarily, they will feel grateful in their hearts.

"Commander Wu, please release those kobolds and arrange for them to go mining. Commander Lu (Li), you asked Wang Ying to lead the 'scout' personnel to supervise, and kill them on the spot if any abnormality is discovered..."

Xia Tian said to Wu Song and Li Ru again.

In the past three days, in addition to treating the wounded in the battle with the dark elves, Hua Tuo also found time to transplant "dark blood" to the residents of eight territories.

Xia Tian also let these eight people master the "Hidden Front Technique" through "initiation" and became a "scout".

As a result, Li Ru's intelligence team expanded to ten people.

Because they were formed for the first time and lacked experience, Xia Tian temporarily let these "new scouts" clean up the ferocious beasts in the dark caves, draw maps and practice their ability to collect intelligence!

"Speaking of which, I really feel sorry for Mr. Hua Tuo!"

"Since he arrived in the territory, he has been busy until now, and he doesn't even have a moment of free time..."

Xia Tian said a little guiltily.

Thanks to the recruitment of Jia Xu and Li Ru, he is now freed from complicated management matters.

But to say that the busiest person in the territory from beginning to end is Hua Tuo, the "miraculous doctor", who also has to refine the "Elixir of Mortal Transformation", treat the wounded, and "replace blood marrow" and " Spiritual Needle Tempering Body"...

It can be said that wherever it is needed, he will be sent to support it.

In fact, because they had received a message from the mysterious swordsman on the snow mountain the previous summer, they had arranged for Hua Rong to take Hua Tuo to help "deliver the baby."

That is to say, this old gentleman is as kind-hearted as Zongze, and he is a doctor and a parent. Otherwise, if another person is tormented like this, he will inevitably feel resentful in his heart.

"After recruiting people from the inn, we must select some smart people with strong learning ability, and let them learn medical skills through 'ingenuity'... This will reduce Hua Tuo's burden!"

Xia Tian secretly thought.

Not only Hua Tuo, when the territory has enough personnel, it is also time to formally establish some management organizations in the summer and set up a detailed merit system...

"Sir, Mr. Hua Tuo and Commander Hua are back. They brought back two people, no, three people..."

And just when Xia Tian thought of Hua Tuo, a patrolling soldier came to report.

"Bringing three people?"

Xia Tian and the leaders in the territory are both curious.

Soon, I saw the three people the soldier mentioned.

One of them was a woman in green clothes with a tired face and delicate appearance. In her arms covered by clothes, there was a newborn baby wrapped in swaddling clothes.

The third person following her was a man with long hair in ancient costume who was about 1.85 meters tall and dressed in white clothes like snow, except for the simple scabbard hanging on his body which was black!

"Sir, this is the 'Master Ximen' of Wanmei Villa. I went there with Mr. Hua Tuo and the midwife. It happened that the wife of Master Ximen was in labor and encountered dystocia... Fortunately, after Mr. Hua Tuo's treatment, both mother and child were safe. But the mountain was really too cold, not conducive to children and postpartum women... Mr. Hua Tuo persuaded the couple to move down the mountain and live in the territory!"

Hua Rong's face was filled with excitement.

Just because he has determined that the swordsman in white is not only his life-saver, but also a real master!

[Ximen Chuixue (Silver)]

【Level】Transformation to the third level

[Talent] Sword God's Stance (Having the Sword God's Stance, can use all things as swords)

[Characteristics] Sword Heart (the purer the heart for the way of swordsmanship, the more powerful the lethality of swordsmanship), God of Death (in the midst of killing, one can constantly understand the true meaning of the way of swordsmanship and reach the peak of swordsmanship)

【Skill】Transformation: Kendo (Grandmaster)

[Explanation] A man with top potential in swordsmanship has the possibility of becoming a god with swordsmanship!

"Hiss, what kind of panel is this?"

Xia Tian, ​​who had opened his "insight" eyes, looked surprised.

Xia Tian has already met many outstanding people.

In terms of magnificence alone, Ximen Chuixue is not considered top-notch.

Even among the illusory heroes, there are people who can match his attributes, or even exceed them.

In terms of talent, Ximen Chuixue cannot compare to Wang Yuyan's "exquisite heart".

In terms of characteristics, the effects of Wu Song's "horse dismounted Wu Song" and "drunk" are more obvious.

In terms of skills, a solitary "kendo" is not as shocking as Huang Yaoshi's "all-professional proficiency"!

But compared to the chaos of most people's talents and characteristics, Ximen Chuixue's condensed characteristics and talents stand out in one word - pure!

For the ultimate purity of swordsmanship.

It has to be said that Ximen Chuixue's talent was entirely for kendo.

It’s no wonder that like Hua Tuo, he can obtain the super high evaluation of the will of the earth and have the opportunity to “become a god”.

Such a person may not be a general, but he is enough to become a top assassin instructor!

Because, Ximen Chuixue's own swordsmanship can be said to be the most suitable swordsmanship for assassins to use to kill people.

Simple, direct, deadly with one sword, without any bells and whistles!

If Ximen Chuixue can really join the territory, it will be of great significance. It can definitely greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the newly formed "scout" team.

"What a pity, he is Ximen Chuixue..."

But it was different from the excited Hua Rong.

After Xia Tian saw that his neighbor turned out to be the "Ximen Sword God", he shook his head in his heart.

Just because he knew very well that if people like Huang Yaoshi, who looked like idle clouds and wild cranes, actually had the opportunity to serve as a "guest minister and worshiper" in the territory!

There is really no possibility for people like Ximen Chuixue to join the territory.

For him, swordsmanship is his only pursuit, even if his wife and children can only come second.

In the original world, after the decisive battle with Ye Gucheng, Ximen Chuixue chose to leave his wife and children in order to pursue the purity of his swordsmanship.

In the end, he achieved the pinnacle of his swordsmanship that "everything can be a sword"!

Of course, Ximen Chuixue is not a truly heartless person, otherwise he would not have rescued Hua Rong before.

Moreover, just like Huang Yaoshi, who was alone embodied by the will of the earth, there were actually only Ximen Chuixue and his wife in the huge Wanmei Villa.

Not only is there a lack of servants to serve, but the cold environment is obviously not suitable for survival for newborn children and women who need confinement.

Because of this, Hua Tuo's words made Ximen Chuixue take his wife and children down the snow-capped mountains.

Ximen Chuixue's wife is also a member of the martial arts, and her physical fitness has long been transformed. Coupled with Hua Tuo's medical skills and a bunch of restorative materials such as "golden honey, blood-tonifying pills" in the territory, even if she has just given birth and embarked on this journey, The short section of the trail is not too difficult!

"Ximen Chuixue thanked you for your help... This is what I promised you..."

Ximen Chuixue stared at Xia Tian, ​​with a very calm expression on his face, as if there was nothing else in the world except the sword in his hand and his wife and children beside him.

There is no joy and curiosity like other heroes coming to a human territory.

Even though he was obviously thanking Xia Tian.

His tone was also a bit cold, and he didn't quite understand the world.

Or maybe he actually knows all the ways of the world, but he is unwilling to abide by them!

"We are both human beings and neighbors, so we should naturally help each other. Besides, you have helped Commander Hua..."

Xia Tian's face was kind, but he didn't care about the other party's attitude.

"Hey...this is..."

However, when Xia Tian's eyes fell on Ximen Chuixue's hand and handed him the item that he regarded as a "thank you", his face was suddenly shocked.

Because in Ximen Chuixue's hand, there is a shrunken pavilion, with sword energy vaguely inside!

[Sword Pavilion (Silver)]

[Type] Strange objects·Architecture

[Features] Sword training (the sword intention of Ximen Chuixue remains in the sword pavilion. When you enter it to practice, you can understand the sword intention and greatly speed up the progress of sword practice), swordsman projection (after reaching the master level in sword practice, you can leave a projection in the sword pavilion. Consuming territory luck can summon a projection to appear for a certain period of time. The strength of the projection is related to the current strength of the swordsman, and can be used for sparring or fighting)

[Explanation] Ximen Chuixue learned to sword at the age of seven. During this period, the sword never left his body until he was successful in seven years. No one knows the bitterness, blood, tears, hardships and hardships during the sword training, only this pavilion records it.

[Note 1] When heaven and earth merged, the ordinary attic was transformed into a strange object by the will of the earth. Every time a grandmaster was added to the projection, an additional floor was added to the attic.

[Remark 2] The hall is full of flowers and three thousand guests are drunk, and fourteen states are frosty with one sword!

"Hiss, it's a silver rare object building...and it's also a training-type rare object building."

The level of surprise in Xia Tian's heart is beyond words.

You must know that the only building in the territory that can help with cultivation, the "school field", is just an ordinary building.

The so-called "800%" training bonus is actually only compared to those similar white training buildings and does not have the real ability to accelerate people's training!

However, this "Sword Pavilion" can really speed up the practice of swordsmanship, and can even leave "projections" of people who have practiced well in it!

And the strength of the projection is closely related to its own strength.

In other words, as long as Ximen Chuixue is stronger, the power of "Ximen Chuixue's projection" summoned from the sword pavilion will be stronger.

In a sense, this is a bit like "accompanying strange things"!

"Good fellow, isn't this equivalent to indirectly obtaining 'Ximen Chuixue'?"

Xia Tian secretly rejoiced in her heart.

Although this projected "Ximen Chuixue" only has the ability to "practice sword" and fight with others, this is enough for Xia Tian.

His territory is now considered to be full of talented people.

Strictly speaking, even if Ximen Chuixue really joins, it will not be considered a qualitative improvement in the strength of the territory.

On the contrary, his personality as cold as snow makes him easily out of tune with everyone in the territory.

Apart from anything else, Xiamen found it difficult for Ximen Chuixue to adapt to the fact that he had to "work" every day to enter the territory!

So Xia Tian thought about it and completely gave up the idea of ​​inviting him to join the territory.

Instead, they first arranged for people to place Ximen Chuixue's family of three in the pavilion of Huangjintai and receive them as guests.

"Um?"

And just then.

Including Xia Tian, ​​Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, Jia Xu and other people who had reached the third level of metamorphosis all had sudden changes in their expressions.

"Have the laws of heaven and earth at the fourth level of mortal transformation already been condensed?"

At this time, just six days had passed since the third-level transformation law was condensed, and seven days were left before the territory shield disappeared.

There is a vague feeling in Xia Tian's heart.

The disappearance of the "shield" that represents the will of the earth to the lord, and the "fifth level of transformation" law that is likely to be condensed at the same time, is the real opening of the curtain for the creatures entering the "Eternal Land".

Before that, all he needs to do is to do his best to improve his own strength and obtain enough "population"!

So the Mystery Inn is crucial.

Hope everything goes well tomorrow.

…

Behind the Mysterious Inn, there is an area filled with gray fog.

The bloody sun in the sky has set, and the environment looks very dark.

In the military tent with a bonfire burning, Zongze, who had finished taking care of the camp's affairs for the day, lay down on a simple wooden bed to rest without taking off his armor.

Without the soldiers guarding the door noticing, a fist-sized figure with a golden color suddenly appeared from the corner of the military tent close to the ground. At first glance, he thought it was a golden honey.

But if you look closely, you will see that it is a creature in the form of a golden beetle!

He first spit out a cloud of black smoke from his mouth, which turned into a vivid black beetle and penetrated from Zongze's mouth and nose.

After the latter's body shook, he fell into a coma.

Then, the golden beetle flapped its wings and landed on Zongze.

Opening its mouth and biting it destroyed the armor on its chest, trying to "get into" its body.

Buzz!

At this moment, a layer of purple light suddenly appeared on the surface of Zongze's body, like a barrier, limiting the speed of the golden beetle's penetration and slowing it down!

Wow!

At the same time, the river surrounding the camp suddenly surged violently.

"What's going on? The river is suddenly turbulent, warning that there are catastrophic creatures attacking the camp?"

"That's not right. After the blood sun sets, won't the catastrophic creatures stop... Go and call General Zong..."

Outside the military tent, there was a loud noise and someone shouted.

"Zhizhi..."

Seeing that due to the limitation of the purple light, the golden beetle only merged half of its body.

The soldiers on duty outside had already opened the military tent. The golden beetle swayed, turned into a stream of light, emerged from the edge of the ground seam of the military tent, and flew to the head of a short man wearing black robes and wooden clogs not far away. , lifted up the hair at the back of his "Tsukiyo head" and got in.

"There is actually a trace of merit to protect the body, and the 'soul replacement' cannot be completed in a short time."

"It seems that the first plan failed... However, it is not completely useless... The human lord can freely enter and leave this 'inn' to go to the eternal land. Perhaps he is a more suitable candidate!"

In the military tent, a group of people exclaimed "General Zong" and "call for a military doctor quickly" and other words.

The figure in black robes had "melted" on the spot and sank into the shadows, scurrying away like a rotten poisonous snake on the ground!

Well, I have received your feedback.

Indeed, these chapters were a bit boring to write.

Because, before entering the mysterious inn, I deliberately cut off the plot related to Ximen Chuixue, resulting in a missing person in this section of the inn...

Suddenly it seemed monotonous.

Then, my writing power is really limited.

It's hard to control the tone when writing this kind of depressing and boring plot.

As a result, the story lacks depth and is not written to be exciting enough.

It can be said that it is far from meeting the design expectations...

In fact, Mystery Inn involves the main plot rather than the branch plot, so there are still some injuries if it is not written well!

I am ready to learn lessons, think carefully about the problem, and avoid making the same mistake again.

I will speed up next and write this paragraph in two or three chapters...

Then after the super heroes arrive and build cities, the human race and the territory will truly rise...
