The next morning, Zhou Zhengping and Ding Qiurou went out, leaving Zhou Bai alone at home.
Zhou Bai didn't plan to go out today, so he continued to organize the remaining maps at home. It was safer to organize these things at home.
Zhou Bai
The city here is headed by Vitali, the largest city in the north. The lord of Vitali is one of the four dukes. Compared with the other three dukes, this duke's power is the smallest.
Because Zhou Bai saw two famous territories on it, Hastings City and Delisha City, among which Hastings City was almost adjacent to Vitali City.
Generally speaking, a small area would not allow two such powerful territories, but Hastings City actually broke into the sphere of influence of Vitali City. It is obvious that the interests that originally belonged to Vitali City have been diluted by Hastings City.
She thought that Hastings City, which made a territory like Vitali City endure, must have another big city supporting it.
As for the city of Delisha, Zhou Bai paused. She knew this city. O'Neill had fought against them before. It was located on the border between the human kingdom and the orc kingdom. Human trafficking was rampant there, and it was considered a city of sin. However, some of the crimes in this city of sin were reasonable and legal. The benefits of human trafficking were definitely not enjoyed by just this city.
Sighing, Zhou Bai registered several well-known territories. He had never even heard of some cities and towns. On the contrary, some villages looked familiar to Zhou Bai because he had cooperated with Hope Village before. While registering, he matched the corresponding routes in his mind and matched the collected information one by one.
With Zhou Bai's current memory, he remembered it clearly.
...
...
Soon we arrived at the area where Hope Village was located.
This is the southeastern area of the city of Vitali. The largest city in this area is the city of Loviisa. There are also several other small cities. It can be seen that there is a certain distance between cities, which is in line with regional protection. Some places do not have cities, but there is definitely a representative town, such as the town of Benguela in this area.
Of course, after reading the information, Zhou Bai felt that there must be a force behind this small town of Benguela that was able to take over such a place, otherwise how could other territories give it up?
However, in the future, Hope Village and Benguela Town will inevitably compete for control of this area.
Zhou Bai would not give in on this point, because if he did, Hope Village would be at the mercy of Benguela Town in the future.
As for why Benguela Town allowed Hope Village to grow without taking any action, Zhou Bai couldn't help but cast his gaze towards Loviisa City. Was it because Benguela Town knew that Loviisa City had set its sights on Hope Village?
Zhou Bai's eyes wandered across the map, preparing to spend the next period of time investigating the fastest-growing towns in other areas in recent years.
If the city of Loviisa wants to support an aggressive territory, it will never do anything in its own area, but will support it in other areas.
Thinking about this, Zhou Bai finished registering the area of Vitali City. The map was densely packed with various place names, and it could be divided further later.
Then, Zhou Bai started
Afterwards, both Parkhurst City and Bridge City encountered the same situation: there was a big city nearby.
If one area is a coincidence, then if all four areas are like this, it cannot be simply summarized as a coincidence.
Zhou Bai looked at the
I'm afraid the only one who has the ability to do all this is Wang Du.
The last time I heard Bayer say that the relationship between the royal capital and other territories was not one of domination and subjugation, but it was obvious that the royal capital had the ambition to rule again, and had already begun to act silently.
And these territories would certainly not be without preparation behind the scenes. The silent development of the city of Loviisa is a typical example.
Of course, these high-level disputes have nothing to do with Hope Village for the time being. Zhou Bai quietly put the five regional maps he had sorted out aside, and then began to refine his own regional distribution map headed by the city of Loviisa.
In this way, Zhou Bai has been busy at home.
Until Bayer came to the door.
Seeing Bayer coming, Zhou Bai stretched, put away all the materials he had sorted out in the morning into the grid of his backpack, and then went to open the door.
"Is Filia here?" Zhou Bai asked.
The recent operation and development of the territory has not had too many ups and downs. If there is anything wrong, it is probably related to Filia.
Thinking of Filia, Zhou Bai's lips curled up unconsciously.
Thanks to Filia's Stan Continent map, she really gained a lot from last night to today. In the future, she can finally stop being blind.
"She's here. She's waiting at the back of the mountain!" Bayer nodded and looked at Zhou Bai's expression. "Does the village chief like her very much?"
He rarely saw Zhou Bai show such affection.
"Yeah, she's fine." Zhou Bai nodded without hesitation.
Who doesn’t love a cute little thing that can make people feel precious?
As Bayer listened, he was very suspicious whether Lord Long had given his lord some treasure?
Or, has it been given?
After all, our lord is usually quite stubborn. When there is no territory affairs, he will go out of the territory to perform tasks. Even though he has an appointment with Lord Long today, according to the lord's character, he will go to the lord's mansion to take charge.
If you didn't go, there would be only one reason.
She had other things to do at home.
After guessing it, Bayer did not ask any further questions.
After all, the fact that the lord was not busy in the lord's mansion but chose to stay at home could only mean that she did not want others to know about this.
After guessing, Bayer kept the matter to himself.
"Let's go!" Zhou Bai said immediately, and then took Bayer to the back mountain.
At the back of the mountain, the shrunken Filia was wandering around the farm and farmland. After all, it was a bit boring for her to wait for Zhou Bai in one place, so she had to walk around.
There were people active at the farm and in the farmland, so she naturally came here.
"Dragon... Lord Dragon." Although Filia restrained her pressure, the aura of the dragon made the orcs and monsters at the scene feel uncomfortable.
It's their instinct.
Therefore, when Filia was wandering around here, they felt a little uncomfortable.
"Are these fields cultivated by you?" Filia asked the sheep-headed man in front of her curiously.
When asked, the sheep-headed Baker calmed himself down and said, "I planted it, sir. What's the problem?"
"Are the fruits here delicious? Pick some for me to try." Filia said directly.
Baker listened and paused.
At this time, Aina beside him whispered in his ear: "This Lord Long is the village chief's honored guest. Treat him well. The village chief will not blame you."
When they returned to the community yesterday, everyone was talking about the appearance of the Dragon Clan in Hope Village. They especially mentioned that the village chief had been accompanying Lord Long, eating and playing with him, and endorsing everything Lord Long did. Under such circumstances, it would definitely be right to treat Lord Long well.
Baker listened, then asked obediently, "Master Long, what do you want to eat?"
"Give me a little of each."
"Chili, lemon, bitter gourd... do you want them too? They don't taste very good." Speaking of which, as he planted more things, many of the names he originally came up with were gradually replaced by those given by other people. He felt that the other people's names sounded much better than his own, so he used them.
The ones he asked about are all good when put into dishes or used as condiments, but if eaten raw or alone, the taste is hard to describe. Baker was trying sincerely to persuade him, but he didn't dare to say it too directly.
"Yes, yes, yes, all of them!" Filia said without thinking.
She had eaten everything yesterday. These fruits were grown in large quantities, so how could they be so bad?
"Okay... all right!" Baker responded, and then got down to the ground. He had already decided in his heart that he would put those with strange tastes separately. After tasting one, the other party probably wouldn't want to try it anymore.
Baker's movements were still very quick. After all, he knew everything about the field.
After a short while, two small baskets full of fruits were brought over.
"Lord Long, please eat this first!" After Baker finished speaking, Filia couldn't help but try them one by one.
While eating, Filia looked very satisfied.
She was right. The food in Hope Village was really delicious. It was sweeter than what she had eaten in the wild! There were even some foods she had never tasted before.
One after another, one basket was soon empty. Then he looked at another basket and directly picked up a yellow one.
She had just eaten something similar. Although the skin was not good, the flesh was sweet and sour and juicy. She was afraid this one would be the same.
"Master Long, try biting it a little first to see if you are used to it..." Baker said.
But before she could finish her words, Filia threw the whole lemon into her mouth and bit it hard with her sharp teeth.
acid!
A strong sour taste spread in Filia's mouth. In an instant, Filia felt her teeth soften and her tongue seemed to be numb.
"Your fruit is poisonous!" He spat out the lemon from his mouth in an instant and looked at Baker angrily.
Baker: “…”
——He had clearly reminded me a long time ago.
——Is he going to die unjustly? ? ?
This was the scene Zhou Bai saw when he arrived. He saw Filia staring at Baker angrily and a squashed lemon on the ground. He had no idea what had happened.
Zhou Bai coughed lightly and said, "Lemon tastes like this, so it's used as an ingredient. The lemonade you drank yesterday and the pickled fish you ate all had this in them, and Baker should have reminded you before you ate them."
Filia listened to Zhou Bai's voice, tilted her head, and recalled that it seemed to be true.
but……
"Don't you hope that the village is full of delicious food?" Filia responded, with a little aggrieved tone in her voice.
She trusts Hope Village.
"Deliciousness is made by cooking. Do you think Warcraft meat tastes good when eaten raw? Or does it taste good if simply boiled or grilled?" Zhou Bai said helplessly. What on earth gave Filia such confidence?
Filia: “…”
After a moment of silence, Filia looked at the remaining fruits in the basket, "Then these..."
"Chili peppers are spicy, bitter gourds are bitter, and the rest taste relatively raw. They are not as sweet as you imagined. If you don't like them, you'd better not eat them. If you want to identify these flavors, you can try them." Zhou Bai said directly.
After listening to this, Filia thought about it and picked up the peppers.
When the chili entered her mouth, Filia couldn't help but snort, and then the bitter gourd... Filia really tried them all one by one.
"It's really awful. I can't imagine what these can be made to taste better, except for chili and lemon."
"The scrambled eggs in the bitter melon scrambled eggs are especially delicious." Zhou Bai continued.
"real?"
"Yeah." Zhou Bai nodded. "As long as it's edible, our people can always find the most suitable way to eat it. If not, it proves that it is not delicious and will naturally not appear in our territory."
"Next time I come across something edible, I'll bring it to you and you'll help me find new ways to eat it." One of Filia's hobbies is eating. She used to eat it raw, but now that she knows so many new ways to eat it in Hope Village, she really wants to try more.
"Okay." Zhou Bai agreed.
It would be a good thing to develop new varieties or discover delicacies that they have not yet discovered.
After this exchange with Zhou Bai, Filia realized that she had just lost her temper. She glanced at Baker and said directly, "I wrongly blamed you."
"It's okay, it's okay." Baker waved his hands quickly.
"Pick some more of these for me," Filia ordered.
"Yes." Baker didn't think much and went to do it.
Facing Zhou Bai's curious gaze, Filia said, "I'll bring some back to my family. They need to experience the same loss I experienced, so they won't be fooled in the future. This is the custom of our dragon clan."
What Filia said was justified.
Zhou Bai: “…”
He is really filial and filial, which makes him strong.
Without saying anything more, she handed the food her mother had prepared and packed to Filia, "This is the food packed for you. Take it to your elders to taste."
Filia took it without hesitation and stuffed it directly into her own space. The next moment, she took out several gems from her space and threw them to Zhou Bai, "Here you go."
"What is this?" Zhou Bai asked subconsciously.
"Space Stone, you asked someone to make a space ring for you, which can hold a lot of things. I see you carry things in a backpack, which is too shabby." Filia raised her chin and said disdainfully.
Zhou Bai was silent. He wanted more expressions like this!
but……
"It's not nice to always take your things. How about I give you gold coins?" Zhou Bai really needed the Space Stone, but he couldn't just take it for free.
Yesterday, Filia gave me a map, and today she gave me a space stone...
"No, just take what's given to you." Filia muttered awkwardly, "It's rare for me to be so generous."
Filia didn't know why she was so generous. Anyway, the more polite Zhou Bai was, the more she wanted to give.
You know, the dragon clan is well-known for being misers!
Forget it, forget it, considering that the other party prepared so many delicious foods for her.
Next time, she would definitely hold back and not give it to her.
Filia swore silently in her heart.
"Thank you." Zhou Bai accepted it directly, but soon took out a few blueprints and corresponding materials from his backpack, "This is my gift to you. It is the blueprints and materials for the park, amusement park, and sports arena. Take it back to your territory and build it so you can play with it."
Seeing Filia having so much fun yesterday, Zhou Bai was ready.
At that time, Filia can play wherever she wants.
"Yes." Filia accepted it without hesitation. She liked this gift.
Should she bring some gifts from the dragon clan to Zhou Bai next time?
It seems that many humans like the specialties of their dragon clan.
Those specialties are very expensive in the Stan continent, but they are not worth mentioning at all in their tribe!
Forget it, just give her a little bit, just a little bit.
"Would you like to have lunch together later?" Zhou Bai continued to invite. It was already noon.
"No need, come tomorrow! I'm going back first." After saying that, he spread his wings, flew quickly into the sky, and then disappeared.
After seeing that the other party had disappeared, Zhou Bai looked at the space stone in his hand and curled the corners of his mouth.
She felt that meeting Filia was really her luck.
