Ten days after the public trial, Lin Yu once again set foot on the territory of the Gu Principality. He was on a diplomatic mission on behalf of the Jiang Principality and once again set foot on the water fort.

The news that Lin Yu was coming had already been known to Jin Mao and others through system communication.

Actually, the negotiations and the like were almost done, but the final alliance ceremony still had to take place.

This led to Lin Yu’s second trip to the water fort.

As he stepped onto the water fort again, he saw Wu Zheng, the second most powerful figure in the Gu Principality, greeting him. He immediately stepped forward and said respectfully, "Greetings, Deacon Wu. I'm so grateful that you've come to the dock to greet me personally."

Wu Zheng, still maintaining his gentle and gentlemanly demeanor, said with a warm smile, "Master Lin is coming, how can I not personally welcome him? Please!"

The two of them were talking and laughing, very friendly.

After settling down, Wu Zheng left. Lin Yu, who couldn't sit still, also wanted to go out and collect some information himself, so he went out.

There are many differences between the refuges of the Gu Principality, the Jiang Principality, and the Sun Principality.

The Gu Duchy is like a big market, the Sun Duchy is like a military camp, and their Jiang Duchy is the most normal, like a normal territory.

That’s right, after all, the refuge of the Jiang Principality is on the island in the middle of the lake.

The island in the middle of the lake is surrounded by water, and the corpse demons hate water, so the island in the middle of the lake is a natural refuge.

The area of ​​the island in the middle of their Qinghu Lake is not small, and it has been inhabited for a long time, so the living conditions are naturally not comparable to the water fortress of the Gu Principality.

In addition, the difference between the Gu Principality and the Jiang Principality is the food!

Because of the Qing Lake, the food on Jiang's lake island is mostly fish.

Although the fish production decreased significantly after the Corpse Demon Plague, it was still enough for their lake island to eat.

Although this water fort of the Gu Principality was built on a big river, it was not rich in fish because the upper reaches were intercepted by the Jiang and Sun families, and it was impossible to feed everyone.

That’s why they have this dangerous and less profitable system of collecting areas.

However, I heard that it has now begun to be transformed into a planting area.

There are pros and cons to this.

Because there was no shortage of food, the Jiang family was not very ambitious in expanding into the land area.

Recovering lost territory was not implemented because it was too dangerous, not cost-effective, etc.

In the Sun Principality, since the intercepted fish can meet the living needs of most people, they only need to go ashore to replenish the missing food and collect some cultivation resources that are not available on the island in the middle of the lake.

Therefore, although they do not have much motivation to recover lost territory on land, they still hunt down corpse demons from time to time.

The one that does the best in hunting corpse demons is the Gu family, a principality that is like a big market.

The Gu family was also forced to do so! Because of the interception of aquatic products, less than one-tenth of the food was provided.

They can only try their best to go ashore to hunt down the zombies and seize resources.

Because they relied so heavily on gathering, and the area they gathered was the largest, gathering districts naturally emerged, replacing fiefdoms and becoming the new pursuit of the nobles.

In fact, this is the same principle as the fish farms that were distributed to the Jiang nobles!

These things were created to serve the interests of the nobles!

Whether it was the Gu or Jiang Principality, whether it was before or after the Corpse Demon Disaster, the same principle prevailed.

"Huh? The market seems to be even more lively! The last public trial not only did not weaken the Gu Group, but made it even stronger and more prosperous."

"What's this... the Corpse Hunter's Shop? What kind of place is this? Is it the same place as the Corpse Hunter's Shop?"

Seeing the newly appeared shop, the Corpse Catcher Shop, Lin Yu walked straight in.

After entering, I found that it was very strange. It was called a shop, but it looked more like a teahouse.

Most of the people inside are nobles and warriors, drinking tea and chatting, but it is also very quiet. It is a good place to find peace and quiet in the midst of noise, and also a good place to obtain intelligence.

Lin Yu walked in with a smile.

"Huh? Isn't this the Tiandao mercenary from the Jiang Principality? Why is he here?"

"I heard that we are going to form an alliance with the Jiang Principality. He must be here for this matter."

"Why don't I see the Duke Jiang who came last time?!"

"How could someone as noble as Duke Jiang possibly go to a country with a war academy? Are you trying to save your life?"

"I wanted to see Duke Jiang again. Unfortunately, I can't."

"Why did you meet him?"

"After all, he's the lord of a neighboring country. I don't think I'll ever see him in my lifetime. But I missed him the last time I came. It's truly a pity."

"Humph, you're just idle."

Lin Yu, who became the focus and topic of the whole audience, didn't care.

I found a store clerk and learned about the store's business operations and scope.

"Your Excellency, our shop buys living corpses and exchanges them for notes of the same denomination. These notes can be exchanged for items on the store's exchange list. However, you need to pay a deposit first, and you can only pick up the goods the next day. If the item you want to exchange is not on the exchange list, you will need to pay extra money before you can exchange it."

Lin Yu has a system, so he naturally doesn't need to exchange items here. He took a look at the exchange list and realized that these items can be exchanged from the mercenary mall.

Lin Yu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is this shop opened by a Tiandao mercenary?"

The clerk was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that someone didn't know who opened their shop. Although he was a little confused, he still answered patiently.

"Your Excellency may not be aware that our Corpse Catcher Shop was opened by Master Zheng Yuan, one of the Four Heavenly Dao Mercenaries of Water Stronghold. That's why there are so many items on the redemption list. Products produced by the system are bound to be top-notch. You don't have to worry about quality issues after redeeming them."

After hearing this, Lin Yu laughed and said, "I am really sure about this."

Unexpectedly, Zheng Yuan is not only still engaged in business activities, but the scale of his business is getting bigger and bigger. Is there no one to take care of it?

Wouldn't it be a disgrace to the Heavenly Dao Mercenaries to do this?!

Jin Chen came in from outside and saw Lin Yu. He greeted him with a smile, "Lin Yu, you're here?! Why didn't you tell me so that I could welcome you?"

As soon as Jin Chen arrived, the clerk immediately stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Good day, Mr. Jin."

The other people sitting inside also stood up, saluted and greeted.

Jin Chen waved his hand nonchalantly as a return gesture.

Those who were paying their respects and greetings were not angry. They sat down and continued with the previous topic as if they were not affected at all.

Lin Yu could tell at a glance that Jin Chen was a frequent visitor here!

These people were all familiar with Jin Chen, and no one cared at all that Jin Chen's return gift was not standard.
