Throne of Vientiane Civilization

When the captain mentioned the benefits of being a soldier, he was so excited that even the other people in the queue around him, with a mentality of being idle, also grabbed a handful of melon seeds and joined in.

During this process, no one knew who said it.

"But after all, it's better for you elves. If you want to be a soldier, you don't have to go through so much trouble like us. You belong to a special branch of the army and you can join directly after signing up."

The wood elves were stunned when they heard this, but they didn't take it too seriously and just replied casually.

"We can't be soldiers either, right? You have to be a formal citizen of the Great Zhou?"

Who knew that the man said directly after hearing this...

"What's so difficult about this? Our Great Zhou's policies are still relatively tolerant. As long as you are willing to work hard, everyone has a chance."

At this point, the man pondered for a while.

"Look, even those prisoners of war who were captured after being defeated can obtain the qualification of formal citizens if they work honestly for a few years. Compared with those prisoners of war, you haven't even committed any crime and have been working here for a long time. Why don't you apply for regularization?"

"Will this work?"

The wood elves were still a little hesitant.

And that person said nonchalantly...

"It won't lose a piece of meat if you try it. Once you succeed, even if you don't serve in the army, you are special talents based on your elf identity. We have a lot of jobs with better treatment for you in the Great Zhou, which is better than working in a logging team or a wood processing plant?"

"..."

Originally, it was just a casual chat, and none of the wood elves expected that they would talk about themselves later.

For a while, they looked at each other, and no one knew what to say.

At this time, the team began to move. After their captain greeted them, he hurriedly followed.

Seeing this, the wood elves did not plan to continue guarding here.

It was a rare holiday, they came to the city to play, it was impossible for them to accompany their captain to queue here all the time, right?

A group of wood elves went directly to the restaurant in Green Forest City to eat hot pot.

At this time, there were more than a few wood elves in the restaurant, and it seemed that everyone was thinking of the same thing.

According to their current income, they could not afford to go to the restaurant, and they could only eat in this restaurant occasionally to satisfy their cravings.

After eating hot pot, the wood elves were not in a hurry to leave. They poured themselves a cup of tea, ordered a plate of melon seeds, and listened to the story in the restaurant.

Nowadays, storytellers are no longer a standard feature of high-end restaurants. Ordinary restaurants in various places will also have them, which further increases the efficiency of information transmission within the Great Zhou.

Of course, in terms of the quality of service and dishes, and even the dining environment, high-end restaurants are basically better, and the customer groups on both sides do not conflict.

Coincidentally, the storyteller in the restaurant was just talking about this wave of conscription.

Hearing this, the wood elves subconsciously thought of the topic they had talked about before.

"Do you think we should go and ask?"

Although this question was asked without any beginning or end, the wood elves present basically knew what it was asking.

"What they said makes sense. Prisoners of war can be regularized. Aren't we better than prisoners of war?"

"That's true, but we are different from prisoners of war, right?"

"If we can be regularized, we will become citizens of the Great Zhou? How do we explain to the clan leader?"

This question undoubtedly hit the point, leaving the wood elves silent for a while.

This state lasted for about five seconds, and then a wood elf spoke with a subtle expression...

"The clan leader didn't seem to say that we can't become citizens of the Great Zhou, right?"

"..."

This made the wood elves look confused.

The wood elf who spoke continued to speak along his own line of thought.

"After all, we wood elves are just a tribe, and Da Zhou is a country. There is no conflict between us becoming citizens of Da Zhou and continuing to be a member of the wood elf tribe, right? Aren't we still wood elves?"

The more the wood elf spoke, the clearer his thoughts became, and the more confident he became.

"If this is not true, then what about the centaurs in Da Zhou and the grassland elves? Centaurs are not considered centaurs? Grassland elves are not considered grassland elves?"

A group of wood elves who have not used their brains for hundreds of years were suddenly shut down by this remark.

Damn! What he said makes sense, and I am speechless! ?

With the output of this speech, the mentality of every wood elf present was undergoing subtle changes.

At the same time, the brain that had not been used for many years also began to work hard at this moment.

As the oldest among the wood elves present, John looked at the tribesmen in front of him who were not sure what they were thinking and spoke slowly...

"Anyway, let's go and ask first. If we can't get regular jobs from the beginning, then it's useless for us to think about it here."

As soon as he said this, many wood elves responded immediately.

"Then let's go?"

"Let's go!"

With a few words, the wood elves stood up and walked outside.

One of the wood elves just took two steps, and he turned back as if he remembered something, picked up the plate of melon seeds on the table, and poured them into his pocket.

"I've already bought it, don't waste it."

After leaving the restaurant, a group of wood elves rushed to the service window of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Green Forest City at the fastest speed.

This is also a major feature of Green Forest City. Looking at the entire Great Zhou, only Green Forest City has a Foreign Ministry window at this stage, which is responsible for handling all matters related to the wood elves.

Simply put, the wood elves in Green Forest City can basically consult or handle anything at this window.

"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"

After the wood elves got used to staying in Green Forest City, this position became very idle. Now that there was such a large group of wood elves, the members of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who were responsible for sitting at the window were really a little nervous.

Little did they know that facing this problem, the wood elves were also nervous.

After a lot of hesitation, John finally stood up.

"Hello, we would like to consult if we can apply to become formal citizens of the Great Zhou."

The members of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs blinked twice when they heard this question, and then they quickly became excited.

As a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who would directly contact the wood elves, they naturally knew their tasks.

All their actions were just to achieve one goal, which was to recruit the wood elves and make them a part of their Great Zhou.

Therefore, when faced with questions like this, their answer was self-evident.

"Of course!"
