The Dictatorial Lords

The next day, early in the morning. Hal came out of the bluestone house that Locke gave him.

After one night, there was still surprise on his face, the temperature in the territory was completely different from the outside. When the temperature is the highest during the day here, activities on the ground are completely possible. This has an incomparable advantage over other places.

When he was in a hurry to go out, he came to Locke, "My lord, yesterday was pressed for time, and Hal hasn't looked carefully at the territory yet, so he is not very clear about the specific production."

Locke laughed loudly, "Hal, let's go, I'll take you to see the specialties of our territory." Then he led Hal to the dungeon.

He said to Hal while walking, "Hal, as you learned yesterday, we specialize in potatoes and sweet potatoes. This kind of food can be harvested in only one month. It is easy to grow and easy to survive. If you form a caravan, we will It is completely possible to plant on a large scale outside the city walls, but you also know that the temperature outside the city is much higher than the temperature inside the city, so the output will not be as large as inside the city. There is also fresh water. I used to be a poor person in the kingdom. The little noble, this time came here with the right to develop, and the fresh water is the alchemy product handed down from ancient times, it can produce fresh water in a steady stream, it can completely guarantee the fresh water in our territory, and there is a surplus, which can be traded." Then he took Hal into the dungeon. Standing in the dungeon, looking at the dungeon that has now become several kilometers wide, he said proudly, "Hal, have you seen it? This is the foundation of our territory. Our focus is on the underground, and everything on the ground is It’s a pretense. It’s all for others to see. Haha” Locke couldn’t help laughing after finishing speaking.

Hal didn't hear what Locke said behind him clearly, standing at the door was deeply shocked, this dungeon is too big. This is a small city. Looking at the group of Ratman digging in the depths, and piles of soil pushed back, it is not difficult to see that the current underground city is still expanding, and the One by one, the crypts are neatly arranged like houses. Not far away, a large group of knights are training. Just by looking at them, the strength of these knights can be seen. It is estimated that there are several hundred.

Why is the light in this underground so good. Looking up again, at the top of the dungeon, rows of stones are glowing. These are the things that make the dungeon so bright.

Miracle, miracle.

"My lord, the rock on top of this head?" He looked at Hal with a ghostly look on his face. Haha smiled, "This is the bright stone. Have you seen it? For this row of stones, as long as the mother stone on the ground is exposed to the sun for a day, the child stones below can always glow and heat. When I got them, I was also amazed for a long time "This is also what Locke exchanged in the system. These alone cost half of Locke's belief value. It's not that things are too expensive, it's just that there are too many of them. Like a dungeon in the daytime, what is the concept of this? Just like people living in other places, don't worry about the heat, go about your normal life. This is something unimaginable in the Weigerut wilderness.

"It's a miracle, a great creation. I didn't expect there to be such a treasure in the world. In this way, we can be like the territories in other places. It's not like in the Wigerut Wilderness. Our defense and concealment have also been strengthened underground."

Locke saw Hal who was intoxicated there and said with a smile, "Okay, Hal, you have plenty of time in the future. Go, I will take you to see the real treasure of our territory." After speaking, he led Hal to the Ratman, Pointing to a pile of mud on the ground, "Look."

Hal stood by and watched for a long time but couldn't figure out what it was. Suddenly, I saw a Ratman holding the mud and spreading it on the wall, and then I looked at other places and compared it with this one. reacted. "Is this the kind of mud that can become very hard?" Seeing Hal's reaction, he smiled and said, "Yes, I call it cement, a kind of dust mixed with water. After mixing, it will become what you see now. They become hard when dry. With them, my dungeon can be built to such a large scale."

Hal guessed right, the dungeon really used something called cement, otherwise the dungeon would have collapsed long ago with such an expansion. You must know that in the Wigerut Wilderness, there are also large tribes building such a large dungeon, but they dare not expand it like this. In case of a landslide, all the people and horses have to be buried below.

"My lord, do you mean that our territory wants to export this kind of cement?"

Locke said: "Now is not the time. Our territory has just taken root in this wilderness, and the foundation is not stable. When we are not afraid of other forces, we can sell this kind of artifact for building dungeons when it is still time."

Locke quietly looked at all this underground, "Hal, now you have the confidence to build a big caravan for my city of Orz?"

"Of course, my lord. The things in our territory are urgently needed outside, especially the salt."

Locke exchanged 20 squads of senior knights in the system and placed them at the entrance of the dungeon. clap hands. I saw a group of knights appearing at the entrance of the dungeon, "Hal, this is the caravan guard I prepared for you."

Hal looked towards the door, and saw a group of knights walking over neatly. A group of knights who were in high spirits suddenly lit up their eyes. "My lord, these, these."

Locke laughed loudly, "That's right, this team of knights are all high-level knights. How about the guards prepared for you?"

Hal really has nothing to say, this is a team of high-ranking knights, outside, they are the guests of those noble lords, and now they only serve as guards for their own caravan, which is a bit extravagant. He said happily: "My lord, enough is enough. It is definitely enough." With these knights, do you still have to be afraid of those who have evil intentions about your caravan's goods? Do you still need to be afraid of those robbers in the wilderness? How can it be! As long as this group of high-level knights launched a charge, few forces in the wilderness could stop it.

Hal's eyes brightened.

"My lord. Then I will take them down first, and then recruit some available people in the territory to form a caravan." Now Hal can't wait to go to form his own caravan immediately. In the past, the fox merchants would go to those small tribes to sell their goods one by one. Some barbaric tribes in the wilderness were worried every time they went there. Although the fox merchants were merchants in the whole wilderness, who knew, they beat What do you think. If you encounter a life, it will be gone. Hal was lucky, though. Worked in the wilderness for so many years. Conflicts have been encountered a few times, but no life-threatening ones have occurred. Hal is not like other fox merchants. They have been operating in the wilderness for more than ten years, and they all have their own teams. A newcomer who has been running in the wilderness for several years does not have the financial resources. Now this opportunity has come. Although it is a businessman who has become a lord. But it's not the same there? But the lord said that in the future, the business in the territory will be managed by himself. Just thinking about it makes me excited.

The more Hal thought about it, the more excited he became. Before Locke could reply, he hurried out with his guards, and he wanted to recruit some available helpers in the territory.

Locke looked at Hal impatiently and smiled without speaking.
