"I'm sorry, my lord, I didn't treat the guests well." After watching Filia leave, the sheep-headed man Baker apologized.
Listening to the other party's soft voice, Zhou Bai shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with you. You did a good job."
Zhou Bai did not ignore the two separated baskets.
Given Filia's personality, it's not easy to persuade her. She will only believe it after trying.
Or maybe being strong means you can act recklessly!
Hearing Zhou Bai praising himself, Baker's eyes lit up instantly, and then he said shyly: "It's all my responsibility."
He is really happy working here, doing a job he likes, earning a high salary, eating delicious food, and living in a beautiful house... Such a stable life really makes him very satisfied.
Therefore, he hoped that he could do better and give back to the territory.
"If she comes again, just give her whatever she wants and register it in my account." Zhou Bai continued, then glanced at the farm not far away and said to Aina, "The same goes for the farm."
"Okay." Baker and Ina said quickly.
...
...
Afterwards, Zhou Bai saw the staff who were busy working in the farmland and breeding farm, and asked, "How are your people living here?"
Among the orcs hired through the Beast Temple in recent days, there were quite a few sheep-headed people, so she just put them directly under Baker's command.
Given the weakness of the sheep-headed people, even if they become stronger later, they should not be able to bully Baker and the others, right?
"Everything is fine. Several of the tribesmen have a hobby of farming, so I allocated several plots of farmland to them. They said they would plant the seeds they brought that are not available in Hope Village on their farmland." When Baker heard Zhou Bai's question, he couldn't wait to talk about his work results.
Zhou Bai listened and looked delighted, "That's great. If you grow new varieties, the territory will reward you."
Baker listened, smiled and nodded.
Then, Zhou Bai looked at Aina, "What about the breeding area?"
Baker also looked at Aina. He did not speak for Aina, but hoped that Aina herself could show up in front of Zhou Bai.
Anyway, it's a good thing for the lord to remember it.
"Recently, there are more and more species of magical beasts in the territory. Each species has a corresponding breeder, and different breeding areas have been divided. The new staff are all experienced and can quickly get into the work. As for the beast taming, it is in charge of several adults arranged by you, the village chief. They seem to be divided into different modules, and the beasts are being raised very well!" While talking about her own work, Ina also mentioned the situation of other people.
Zhou Bai nodded to show that he understood.
The situation on the animal training side is more important. Any progress will be reported to her, so there is no big problem.
After understanding the situation, Zhou Bai told them to do their best and left with Bayer.
This time they arrived directly at the lord's mansion.
When we were outside the Lord's Mansion, we saw some tourists coming out of the mission center. When these tourists came out, they excitedly asked, "Where's the dragon? Where's the dragon? Didn't they say there's a dragon in Hope Village?"
"You're really too late. The dragon appeared yesterday, but not today."
"I heard that there was a dragon in Hope Village, so I dropped what I was doing and rushed over. Damn, I missed it this time. Is there another chance?"
"I'm not sure about that, but Mr. Long loves to eat and play, so he should come again, right?"
"Can you tell me about the dragon?"
"Of course you can. When Lord Long came to Hope Village, we felt a dark cloud covering the area. His huge body seemed to be about to crush our territory..."
"That's not right! If they play in your territory, it means your territory can accommodate them, right?"
"That's because dragons can reduce their own size!"
"Anyway, we stayed at the city gate for quite a while, and many people took the opportunity to catch a lot of dragon saliva."
"Dragon's saliva?"
"Yes! Do you want it? Although we don't know what it is used for yet, every part of a dragon is a treasure! And if you bring some local specialties back, you will have face when the time comes, right?"
“…”
Hearing the man's coaxing words at the end, Bayer whispered in Zhou Bai's ear: "A lot of people did catch the saliva of that adult yesterday, but I've never heard of any special use for dragon saliva. The most useless thing about dragons is probably their saliva."
Zhou Bai: “…”
——Could she say that she also subconsciously felt that dragon saliva was useful?
After coughing lightly, Zhou Bai spoke up, "Don't worry about them."
"But today there are quite a lot of tourists coming here because of the dragon tribe." Bayer continued, "The dragon tribe is also an attraction."
"Let's just let these things fade away! Or maybe promote Kellyville Village more." Zhou Bai didn't think that promoting the existence of dragons in Hope Village was a good thing. Maybe it would have some benefits, but along with the benefits would also attract the attention of many powerful people.
Even though the dragon clan is powerful, there are still some strong people who are eyeing them.
If they try to find the traces of the dragon clan, Hope Village will be targeted.
Although a lot of attention has been paid to Hope Village now, Zhou Bai still hopes that the territory will not attract too many powerful beings.
I really can't hold on to such a small territory.
"I understand." Bayer nodded to show that he understood.
Zhou Bai didn't say anything more. She knew that Bayer would handle the matter quickly.
When the two returned to the office, Zhou Bai said directly: "After the next territory war, if nothing unexpected happens, the territory will be upgraded to a small town."
When Bayer heard this, he was stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses, he said in a serious tone, "Our territory has been making full preparations recently. I will have people increase their efforts."
Tourists from other territories who come to Hope Village may only notice the prosperous economy of Hope Village, but they fail to see that Hope Village has invested a lot of money in the construction of weapons and equipment under the prosperous economy.
The tailor shops and blacksmith shops in the territory are recruiting personnel on a daily basis. After recruitment, these personnel will be directly transferred to the textile workshop under the tailor shop and the advanced alchemy workshop and military factory under the blacksmith shop.
In addition, the territory’s food reserves and basic material reserves are also underway.
It can be said that the territory warehouse is now full, but who says that the territory’s storage space is limited to one warehouse? There are also many weapons stored in several factories that have not yet opened!
The factory is very close to the military camp and the city wall, so if needed, it can be collected in a short time.
Let’s talk about the territory’s military strength.
The number of soldiers in the territory has now reached more than 4,000, most of whom are mid-level professionals, and the rest are not, and the transformation has been accelerated recently.
Even though he had been in the world of the undead for many years, he no longer had a specific understanding of how strong a territory's combat power was. However, because of recent exchanges with hundreds of territories, including some small-town-level territories, Bayer had deduced from a few words that the military strength of Hope Village was already very strong compared to territories of the same level, and could even compete with a level 1 town.
However, the military strength of Hope Village, hidden under its prosperous economy, has not yet been discovered.
But Bayer believes that as long as Hope Village is promoted to a small town, the brilliance of Hope Village will no longer be concealed.
Thinking of this, Bayer's blood began to boil.
The time for witnessing has come.
"Okay, let all departments cooperate as much as possible." Zhou Bai was also familiar with the situation in the territory, and did not refuse Bayer's suggestion to increase preparations.
Anyway, you should never fight a battle without preparation. If your ability allows, it will never go wrong to be more prepared.
"It's the Urban Construction Department. They've taken on the construction of city walls, buildings, and roads for several territories... They might be quite busy recently." Bayer instantly remembered the Urban Construction Management Office that had been busy these days.
Originally, the Urban Construction Management Office was busy enough after the large number of shells appeared and cement was exchanged. After the holiday villa opened, it became famous overnight.
"There's nothing to build in the territory recently, so it's good to let them go out and earn foreign exchange! By the way, divert some attention." Zhou Bai said directly.
"Yeah." Bayer nodded.
Afterwards, the two discussed some territorial affairs, and then Bayer left.
After Bayer left, Zhou Bai sat at his desk, stretched his body, stood up, lit his weapon, and prepared to go out.
Try to raise your level to the next level before the territory war and promotion.
With more strength, you can kill more monsters.
While Zhou Bai was working diligently, Filia, who had already returned to the Dragon Clan, enthusiastically shared the delicious food she brought back from Hope Village with her elders at home.
There are thousands of caves of different sizes in the Dragon Cave.
Many ancestors of the dragon clan are sleeping in it.
Many of these ancestors have already reached the legendary level.
The dragon clan itself is invincible at the same level, and the legendary dragon clan is even more invincible. In order not to be rejected by this world, many legendary dragons will not easily take action in the Stan Continent, so they fall into a deep sleep in the dragon cave.
The higher the level, the higher the cave's location.
In the relatively lower cave, Filia placed the delicious food she brought in front of her grandfather, father, mother, and younger brothers and sisters.
"You went to the human territory?" The charming fragrance spread to the tip of Filia's nose. Filia's grandfather Suyaso frowned, with dissatisfaction in his tone.
Filia quickly explained, "The people in that territory are quite friendly. I was just wandering around and didn't have any in-depth contact with other people. I just had a good relationship with one person. These foods were given to me by her."
"Why would humans give you so much food for no reason? They must be trying to steal the good stuff from you." Su Yaso snorted, "What did you give them?"
"Nothing, just a map of the Stan continent!"
Su Yaso listened, and his tone instantly became stern, "You said it was nothing, but didn't Grandpa warn you not to leak the map of Stan Continent easily?"
“But my grandfather said that if there is a human who makes me feel comfortable, I can send him away. I don’t know why, but I just wanted to send him away to Zhou Bai!” Filia said directly. She still trusted her intuition.
When Su Yaso heard Filia mention her great-grandfather, he was suddenly speechless. His father had indeed mentioned this matter, but he had never taken it to heart. He did not expect that it would be sent out without him noticing.
However, Suaso still believed what Filia said.
The intuition of the dragon race is sometimes very accurate.
Since Filia gave it voluntarily, there shouldn't be any problem.
but……
"Don't get too close to humans." Suaso warned again.
"I know. Zhou Bai is the only human I'm close to right now. She's very nice. She didn't plan to take my stuff at first, but she did after she heard it was the map. She also promised me that as long as I go to the human territory, she'll cover all my expenses. Oh, and that includes my family's. When I went there today, she prepared so much food for me." Filia said this without disguising her love for Zhou Bai. "She also told me to try not to show up in the human territory in my original form. Only a few humans know about my round trip, so it's pretty secret!"
Although Filia's words were simple, Suaso could still sense the caution of this human named Zhou Bai from her few words.
It was ok, no big hype.
But it is absolutely not allowed for Filia to contact humans without permission!
When Suaso was about to ask his son Iskandan and his wife Miller to give Filia a good talk, he saw them and their two young children sniffing the food that Filia brought back.
As Suaso took this look, he also keenly sensed the aroma of these human foods.
"Grandpa, try it first! The taste won't disappoint you. This is the most delicious food I have ever eaten." Filia looked up and said proudly.
Su Yaso listened and indeed felt a little greedy.
Nodded, "Okay!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the four dragon heads scrambled to eat the food.
In a short while, it was all swept away.
After eating, Iskandan said the
Miller glanced at Suaso and said, "Bring more."
The two younger ones, Aelita and Creevy, cuddled up to Filia affectionately.
"Sister, I want a hamburger."
"Sister, I want some fried chicken too."
As the two little guys talked, they couldn't help licking their lips.
Delicious, so delicious!
They had never eaten anything so delicious in their lives.
"Okay! Anyway, I have an appointment with Zhou Bai to go tomorrow!" Filia said. After she finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something and looked at Su Yaso on the side, "Grandpa, is it okay?"
Suaso listened and became serious.
Then he saw five dragon heads, two large and three small, staring at him eagerly, as if they hadn't eaten delicious food for hundreds of years.
He snorted and said, "You gave that human such a precious map. This little food is indeed not enough to exchange for it. Bring more back. To ensure your safety, I will go with you tomorrow and watch over you outside the territory."
In this way, I can eat delicious food and ensure my granddaughter's safety.
Not bad, not bad.
"Okay." Filia agreed without hesitation.
Anyway, grandpa is just watching in secret, so it doesn’t matter.
Thinking of this, Filia hid the unpalatable fruits that she had received from Zhou Bai before.
Come back and trick grandpa and the others after some time!
So, the next day, when Zhou Bai continued to prepare delicious food for Filia, he didn't know that not only a young one came, but also an old one.
"I have plenty of time today, so I prepared more for you, including a lot of fresh fruits." Zhou Bai handed Filia a backpack that was bigger than yesterday.
Filia returned yesterday's backpack to Zhou Bai, picked up a new one, and said with a smile, "Okay."
The next moment after he finished speaking, he flew away just as quickly.
But this time, after flying away, he still followed Suaso and looked down at Hope Village from high in the sky.
"This is Hope Village, and the one who gave me the things is Zhou Bai." Filia said this with a hint of showing off.
Su Yaso glanced at Filia and said calmly: "It's only been a few days, what can we see?"
"Just wait and see." Filia said proudly. For some reason, she was full of confidence in Zhou Bai.
In this way, every day that followed, Zhou Bai provided Filia with a variety of delicious food, and because he had ample preparation time, the portions he prepared became larger and larger.
In this regard, Su Yaso's impression of Zhou Bai in secret was indeed getting better and better.
But Zhou Bai knew nothing about it. She was completely focused on her personal advancement and the battle preparations for the territory.
As time flies by, Hope Village welcomes the long-awaited fourth territory war.
