My summons are weird

Lulutis was holding back a laugh, but it meant nothing.

The conversation between the two is carried out through spiritual magic, as long as Lulutis does not interrupt the magic, her uncontrollable laughter will echo in Lu Yu's mind.

"You haven't laughed enough."

"No, I want to laugh again."

Lu Yu was slapped in the face.

He was ready to buy a house, and he analyzed and answered the previous questions about why Lulutis didn't rent a house.

However, after they came to Wangcheng and asked passers-by, they learned that the sale of houses and land in Wangcheng and even the surrounding areas required a strict approval process.

Unwilling to give up, he came to a lively tavern nearby, this kind of place usually only needs wine to inquire about news.

After wandering around the crowded tavern for a while, Lu Yu confirmed the person he got the information from.

In the corner of the tavern, a middle-aged man with black hair and green eyes, a donkey-like face, and a black iron-ranked adventurer brand hanging on his chest was drinking dull wine.

On his small table, there was not a single appetizer.

Lu Yu walked over and sat down.

The donkey-faced adventurer was already slightly drunk, his swarthy face flushed slightly.

Seeing Lu Yu sitting down, he glanced up, hiccupped and was about to get up and leave.

"Are you interested in having a few drinks with me, please."

The blunt and awkward voice made the donkey-faced adventurer turn around curiously, and looked up and down at Lu Yu with a pair of green eyes.

Lu Yu didn't say much, but waved to the waiter in the tavern, and told him to serve a few glasses of wine that the donkey-faced adventurer drank just now, and then ordered a plate of cold salad that was on almost every table.

The donkey-faced adventurer saw that Lu Yu couldn't even pronounce the name of the dish and the name of the wine, but just pointed out that the wine and food on other people's tables followed suit, and his curiosity arose.

He didn't hesitate at all, and sat back in his seat generously.

When the food and drink were served, the donkey-faced adventurer was about to take a drink from the wine glass filled with golden liquid, when he suddenly saw Lu Yu tilting his head slightly, looking at him with unpredictable eyes...

"Let me introduce myself...Daka, the adventurers here usually call me, green-eyed Daka."

According to the knowledge provided by Lulutis, Lu Yu knew that many low-level people did not have complete names.

One is that their level of knowledge prevents them from coming up with names with good meanings.

The second is that the names of local upper-class nobles often need to be taboo.

If you accidentally take a name that offends the upper-class nobles, it may be fine at ordinary times, but if something happens, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles.

In order to avoid these problems, most people at the bottom often have only one surname, and then use various strange names as their first names.

For example, Blue Fire John, Watermark George.

Some were even indifferent to the arrangement of their names and simply called John Bluefire.

Some simply call themselves by nicknames, such as the green-eyed Dhaka in front of them.

Others will give names that are so strange that there has never been a precedent.

Therefore, Lu Yu didn't need to hide his name at all, because the people here were very accepting of strange names.

Sure enough, when Lu Yu said his name, Dhaka didn't respond at all.

The name Lu Yu is not even as strange to Dhaka as I invited him to drink.

"I know you have something to ask me... hiccup, uh... hiccup!"

After belching a few times, Daka continued with a smile, "Mr. Lu Yu, you are not from the Kingdom of Yas, right?"

"It's not."

"If you want to know something, just let me drink for you, and I'm willing to answer one or two questions for you."

"Of course, I'm just an adventurer living in the Kingdom of Yas. I'm not capable of answering you about things that are too secret."

Lu Yu likes Dhaka's straightforwardness, which saves him a lot of trouble.

The first thing he wants to know is whether it is really impossible to buy a house in the city of King Yas.

"If you have this idea, let's get rid of it as soon as possible. The land and real estate around Yas King City are very tight now."

Dhaka knew that Lu Yu was confused, so he explained it to Lu Yu in detail.

In recent years, the King City of Yas has basically regarded land and real estate as a means of rewards, which are specially used to reward adventurers with outstanding contributions and knights with outstanding military exploits.

This decision is based on a helpless reality.

Monsters are rampant in the east of the Kingdom of Yas, among which goblins are the most numerous.

These goblins built a large number of underground labyrinths in the mountains, plains, and swamps of the eastern border, and multiplied.

About fifty years ago, Yas I, the first king who established the Yas Kingdom, died.

Yasi I was a man of great artifice.

He integrated several small countries in the surrounding area, and issued an order not to allow these enfeoffed nobles to build city walls in their territories.

In all fairness, this is a correct order to maintain the rule of Yas Kingdom.

The internal forces in the newly unified kingdom are intricate, and letting these people have new territories is already a consolation strategy.

But what if this kind of consolation makes these nobles want to tangle with the army, build high walls, accumulate food, and resist the rule?

For those who were conquered and annexed and became the nobles of the first Yas Kingdom, this new dynasty Yazheng is very disgusting.

It should be noted that their own territory is also facing the harassment of monsters.

Without city wall guards, they need to be careful of monsters attacking the city at all times, and they must be careful when storing supplies. A little carelessness may be ruined by a nest.

But at that time, Yas I had great authority, the force in his hands, and the number of adventurers he had attracted were not comparable to those who had just been conquered.

So they can only obey this rule.

However, time has passed, and after Yas I passed away, Yas II was far less deterrent to the surrounding nobles than Yas I.

Up to the current Yas III, the vassals around him have actually been renounced, and they only maintained the kingdom's territory in a friendly manner on the surface.

Lulutis couldn't understand what Dhaka said had anything to do with buying a house.

Lu Yu had already guessed it.

Yas I's decision actually weakened the vassal's protection of the peasants in the territory, forcing the peasants to invest in the more secure royal city.

After all, in the absence of city wall guards, monster looting is common.

And the nobles are definitely unlikely to preserve the property of the people. The most likely way is to build complete fortifications in their own manors and guard their wealth.

With this coming and going, the people will continue to gather in the royal city to strengthen the core strength of the kingdom.

However, as the population increases, the capacity of the royal city is gradually approaching saturation, and it is impossible to use all the land within the shelter for ordinary people to live and cultivate.

After all, the royal family also needs to leave a certain amount of space for trading.

Restricted trading also appeared.

Under this set of logic, Lu Yu thinks that King Yas I is a person in power with a good head.

However, it is impossible for Wangcheng to be unaware of the shortage of land after the population explosion.

Will the Kingdom of Yas, whose core control power has been strengthened, relocate and open up wasteland?

"Of course it's land reclamation." Dhaka sighed after taking a bite of the cold dish that looked like Houttuynia cordata, smashing his mouth.

"It may not be clear to you that you have just come to the Kingdom of Yas. Originally, there were large city-states in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Yas on the Luotan Mountains and plains."

"The lords of these city-states are the most staunch supporters of the Kingdom of Yas."

"However, in the past ten years, city-states have fallen one after another, and the eastern border of the Kingdom of Yas now has no city to defend."

"The land is fertile and the products are rich there. Two generations of industrious farmers from the Kingdom of Yas cultivated and settled there."

"I went there once when I was a kid, by God, what a beautiful sight."

"On the endless plain, the ripe wheat is swaying in the wind..."

"..."

Lu Yu didn't hear Daka's follow-up words, but when he looked carefully, there were tears in his eyes.

Lu Yu picked up the wine glass, touched Dhaka, and took a sip with him.

I don't know whether it's because of the brewing process or the brewing materials. The wine is very astringent, with obvious bitterness, and it's not even soft and refreshing at all.

But thinking that this is the bad wine that ordinary adventurers buy to get drunk, Lu Yu is relieved.

"The fall of the city-state was due to the monsters' attack, and the nobles also hindered it. In the end, several loyal lords were repeatedly defeated and forced to evacuate."

"After the defeat, the Kingdom of Yas has been unable to recover the area occupied by monsters. The several siege campaigns it has organized have had little effect. After all, neither the Knights of the Kingdom nor the Kingdom's direct army have absolute force to protect the area that has been recovered."

"The existence of the goblin underground labyrinth makes it extremely dangerous. Even farming and grazing are extravagant hopes."

"And...and..." Dhaka looked embarrassed, smiled embarrassingly, and pointed to the top of his head with his finger.

Lu Yu understood.

If the army tried its best to recover the lost land, then if the vassals got up their minds, who would guarantee the interests of the royal family when the country was empty?

Or, if during the process of regaining the lost land, the vassals thought carefully, caused the front line to be defeated, caused turmoil, and then stood on their own...

If you want to make various attempts to break the situation, you must be careful whether this kind of decision will make the situation worse, let alone there are multiple interests entangled in it.

Therefore, the Yas Kingdom officials chose another plan.

Through the rewards issued by the adventurer union, use good rewards to attract adventurers from all over the world to come here to work, destroy all kinds of monsters in the east, and give good treatment to those who are the best among them, and recruit them to become their own help.

Generally speaking, the land and properties in the royal city are reserved for powerful adventurers and those who can assist the royal family, and others have no way to obtain them.

"Mr. Lu Yu, if you have good strength, you can fight for it."

Dhaka's tongue grew bigger after taking a sip of wine.

Lu Yu on the opposite side of the table ignored the shouts around him when they were fighting for wine, and fell into deep thought.

I am simply a mortal without any power, and I am powerless to fight for it.

It seems that the plan to buy a house and live temporarily is really not going to work.

I don't know how the process of renting a house is. I hope it won't be too cumbersome, otherwise I will really have a headache.
