It was not until they left the territory and no humans were paying attention to them anymore that Dunlop and Victor gradually came back to their senses.
"Lord... Lord, your territory doesn't seem to be hostile to goblins?" Victor finally mustered up the courage to ask Zhou Bai.
"Why are you repulsed?" Zhou Bai asked back. She really didn't know much about goblins, but she only took notice of them after hearing Harrison mention their ability to find minerals.
Looking at the confusion on Zhou Bai's face, Victor suddenly realized that they seemed not to understand their situation.
We are so kind to them because we don’t understand them, but will we still be kind to them after we know?
Victor suddenly didn't want to talk anymore, he was a little scared!
Seeing Victor's silence, Zhou Bai had some guesses in his mind, so he said directly: "Don't worry! In our territory, as long as you are our resident, everyone is equal and protected by our territory's rules, even goblins are no exception. Stay here with peace of mind! If you can find minerals for our territory, you will be great contributors."
Victor was stunned after listening to Zhou Bai's words.
All are equal.
For the goblins, this word is always hard to come by, no matter which race they are in front of.
...
...
Even humans, even though they are showing weakness now, have never looked down on goblins. They even capture goblins as slaves and mining slaves.
There is no territory for the goblins in the entire Stan continent, and they are hiding everywhere.
He died in a mining accident.
So when he heard Zhou Bai's words at this time, it was hard for him not to be moved.
But, could it be true?
"We still have a long time to stay in our territory, just wait and see!" Zhou Bai said directly. She said that no matter how many cakes they had, it would be useless. Only after they truly experienced it, would they believe it!
For the time being, she was confident in the territory under her control.
It's not just because she can make the rules, but also because everyone comes from an equal society and they are fundamentally different from the humans in this world. This is the source of her confidence.
Victor listened to Zhou Bai's casual words, glanced at her secretly, and stopped talking for the time being.
Anyway, he was hired and he will do his job well.
Soon, Victor and Dunlop both showed their professional attitude and took out a tool.
When the tool appeared, the pointer on it began to move rapidly.
"Follow us!" Victor said to Zhou Bai and started moving in one direction.
Zhou Bai looked at the tools in their hands curiously, but still followed them.
After a moment, following the direction they were heading, Zhou Bai behind them immediately recognized that this was the road to the cave.
The cave is also one of the material resource points. The monster inside is a magic snake. After killing the magic snake, it will often drop animal tendons, which is one of the raw materials for making bows and arrows. Therefore, the territory also has long-term acquisition tasks, and the price is not bad, so there are quite a lot of teams coming here.
As for Zhou Bai, he really hated the existence of creatures like snakes and was not willing to come here.
Moreover, she really didn't expect that iron ore would exist in a place like a cave.
As they got closer to the cave, the pointer of the tool in Victor's hand moved faster and faster, and only within a certain range.
This made Victor and Dunlop even more certain of one thing.
"There is an iron mine nearby, which should produce a lot of iron ore."
"Really?" Zhou Bai said in surprise. Although he had made some guesses before, guesses were just guesses. Now that it has been confirmed, how can he not be happy?
"Yes." Victor nodded seriously. "When it comes to finding minerals, the goblins rarely make mistakes."
This is their racial talent, and of course it is also the source of their race's disaster. I don't know if it is good for them to have such a talent, or better not to have one.
"Let's go! Let's determine the location, and then we can send people to mine." Zhou Bai said quickly.
Now, the cost of producing weapons and equipment in their territory can be reduced again.
The three of them quickened their pace instantly.
Just when they arrived at the cave resource point, they heard the sound of fierce fighting.
A "hissing" sound was heard at the scene.
Zhou Bai felt goose bumps all over his body. When he looked over, he saw Li Xingteng fighting with a team of shield soldiers.
The magic snake swam nimbly among the crowd, and the shield soldiers were chopping with a wooden shield in one hand and an iron axe in the other.
Zhou Bai knew that most of the shield soldiers led by Li Xingteng were swordsmen, and they all bought armor-cutting swords, but they were now using bronze weapons and shields.
Zhou Bai immediately understood that they were training their troops.
Zhou Bai was impressed by Li Xingteng from the beginning. He was definitely the most ambitious person in the territory.
Just as Zhou Bai was thinking, Li Xingteng and the others had already noticed this side. They were startled at first, but then they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw it was Zhou Bai. However, they glanced at Dunlop and Victor a few more times.
After dealing with the demon snakes surrounding him, Li Xingteng got away and came to Zhou Bai's side. "Could the minerals be here?"
Obviously, after the notice was issued, Li Xingteng also saw it. It was a pity that he was not at the scene, otherwise he would have gone to answer it. Unexpectedly, the person who answered the call was Zhou Bai. His luck was amazing.
"Yes, they said it's right here."
"Congratulations! I have accumulated another 100 contribution points." Li Xingteng felt a little envious while saying this. He was also accumulating contribution points because he could get some every day by leading soldiers to clear the surrounding monsters, but he still couldn't compare with Zhou Bai.
He had a feeling that the position of village chief would definitely belong to Zhou Bai. After all, her current contribution was far ahead.
Fortunately, he now has other goals. He likes the feeling of leading a group of soldiers to fight against monsters, and maybe he is used to it.
So he decided not to run for the position of village chief, but to strive to become an army commander, which would be pretty cool too.
"The most important thing is to find mines! Although I don't know why the territory needs to find mines, it will definitely be beneficial to the territory." Zhou Bai said.
"Well, the better the territory is, the better our lives will be." Li Xingteng said, looking a little excited. "After yesterday's group of new residents joined, the territory should be able to be promoted, right? I wonder what will happen after the promotion?"
"I think we will be able to advance after the snow stops. It will be easier to deal with the beast tide then."
"I thought so too, so I have been bringing my shield soldiers to kill monsters here every day these days, just as training. But these few days, I clearly feel that the monsters have become stronger. Although they are still level 9, their health has become thicker. It may be that as the territory's strength continues to evolve, their numbers have also increased. There were only four waves yesterday, but there are five waves today, and the number of each wave is even larger. I wonder what the situation is like in other places?"
Zhou Bai listened, his mind moving slightly. This is indeed an information point, but only the teams participating in the battle nearby know about it. But what if everyone collects all the information together!
Thinking about it, Zhou Bai spoke up, "Maybe we can create an information exchange platform ourselves to centralize the situations we encounter so that everyone will have a better idea of what to do next."
"What do you want to do?" Li Xingteng asked with interest.
"Let's set up an information center in the territory! Information can be submitted and other individuals can check it. The people who check it can purchase it with copper coins. The money can then be distributed to the parties who provide the information. We can use a system transaction method to ensure transparency." Zhou Bai expressed his idea without hesitation.
After listening to this, Li Xingteng looked Zhou Bai up and down, "You are plotting to become the village chief. It seems that you have some skills. You must have put in a lot of effort in private!
Zhou Bai listened and fell silent.
If she wasn't the master behind this territory, she would rather just sit there and do nothing!
At first
All I can say is, what a wonderful misunderstanding.
Li Xingteng ignored Zhou Bai's silence and continued, "You will take the lead in this matter after you return. You can establish your personal prestige through this matter. When you become the village chief in the future, you will be able to manage this territory better. I trust you."
The main reason is that he is now a good friend of Zhou Zhengping, and Zhou Bai is Zhou Zhengping's daughter. Compared with letting other people take the position, it is naturally better to let someone he is familiar with take the position.
"Okay, I'll try my best." Zhou Bai said.
While the two were talking, Victor on the side was a little surprised.
After all, they knew that Zhou Bai was a lord, but now he had to manipulate him to become the village chief?
Maybe there is some purpose?
As for Dunlop, he had no idea what they were talking about, but he didn't take it to heart. He just had to follow Victor's instructions.
At this time, Li Xingteng, who had been negotiating, also noticed the two goblin NPCs and greeted them with a smile, "Please wait a moment. After we deal with the last wave, there will be no more monsters around here. Then we can look for ore."
"...Okay." Victor listened to Li Xingteng's polite words and responded with some discomfort.
In a moment, the last wave of monsters was cleared out.
Victor and Dunlop were in the front, following the instructions of the tools in their hands and stepped directly into the cave.
Zhou Bai, Li Xingteng and others followed in.
They also wanted to see what the iron ore was like.
They also did not forget that when they were transferred to become soldiers, they had a task to find materials by themselves, and iron ore was one of the materials they needed to find.
After going around in circles, the group finally entered the depths of the cave.
At this time, the pointer of the tool in Victor's hand also stopped moving.
Seeing that the pointer was not moving, Victor put away the search tool, took out a small pickaxe, and started knocking in the cave with Dunlop, knocking here and there, and even tasted the stone powder.
After some attempts, the two of them finally started knocking on the same place. Gradually, they dug out a small passage. When they knocked again, a black stone with a cold glow fell down.
Victor took the stone in his hand and handed it to Zhou Bai, "Sir, this is iron ore."
When Zhou Bai took the thing in his hand, he also saw the information on it.
[Item: Iron Ore]
[Source: Iron Ore]
[Function: The main raw material for making weapons]
At the moment of confirmation, Zhou Bai was a little dazed.
Iron ore... was found just like that?
Immediately, Zhou Bai also received a system notification.
[Dear host, an iron ore resource point has been discovered within your territory. Are you sure you want to take it as your territory's property and prohibit individual mining? ]
"yes."
[Personal mining is prohibited. If mining is required, an admission list can be set. ]
Looking at the notification, Zhou Bai saw a new iron ore map point on his territory map, with a set label next to it.
Zhou Bai didn't set it yet. After she returned, she would see who would be the best person to assign this task to.
While Zhou Bai was operating, Li Xingteng went forward with great interest to try it out, but just as he started, he received a prohibition notice.
[This iron mine is the property of Hope Village. No private person may mine it without permission.]
Li Xingteng stopped, "The leader acted too quickly. We can't dig anymore."
"I have completed my mission and it is time to go back. Do you want to come with me?"
"No, let's go to another place to continue killing monsters." Li Xingteng said, and then he led the team away.
After they left, Zhou Bai looked at Dunlop and Victor, "Let's go! Let's go back to the territory."
"Don't you want me to mine?" Victor pursed his lips.
"Yes, but not now. Your mining mission has been completed." Zhou Bai gave each of them a contribution point and bonus. "This is your reward for today."
Victor and Dunlop looked at the contribution points and copper coins, both of them were stunned.
Just because they found the mineral, they also received an extra bonus.
It's incredible!
Next, as they followed Zhou Bai back, they all looked a little dazed.
After returning to the territory, Zhou Bai said to the two of them: "You can walk around the territory by yourselves first! If necessary, I will tell you what to do in the form of tasks."
After saying that, Zhou Bai left.
Only Victor and Dunlop were left standing there in a daze.
No one restricts their movements and no one watches over them. They are free in this territory.
"Victor, are we going home now?" Dunlop looked around with a nervous expression, and couldn't wait to retreat back to the safe area.
"No! Let's take a walk in the territory." Victor said seriously, then looking at the bustling trading area not far away, Victor took Dunlop over.
As soon as they arrived at the trading area, they instantly became the focus of everyone.
"Gnome NPC? So small?"
"There's one more race! We've already seen the undead, orcs, dwarves, and goblins. I wonder what the elves and dragons will look like..."
"You will see it slowly."
"Do you want to buy anything?"
"What can I do for you?"
“…”
Everyone was talking about it, and the people setting up stalls greeted the two of them enthusiastically.
With a long sigh of relief in his heart, Victor looked at some samples displayed on the stalls and dragged Dunlop over.
First was Meng Chengzhou’s stall.
"Ten torches, two wooden barrels, two wooden basins, two wooden cups..."
Meng Chengzhou put the items together and said directly, "80 copper coins."
Victor nervously paid the money, then got the item and completed the task.
Yes
Victor took Dunlop to visit stall after stall and bought whatever they needed.
They didn't encounter any problems throughout the whole process. All humans treated them kindly and even gave them some gifts.
Finally, Victor came to Yun Juncai's stall.
Their eyes met those of two human cubs who were slightly shorter than them.
"Is there anything you need?" Yun Jia looked at Victor and the other man and asked.
After following Yun Juncai in doing business for half a day, he has gained some courage.
"No, I'm just taking a look." Victor glanced at the stall and saw nothing he wanted to buy, so he quickly waved his hand.
"It doesn't matter."
Then Victor took Dunlop away.
After leaving the trading area, my heart felt like it was filled with something and was about to burst.
"Victor." Dunlop didn't speak often, but at this moment, he took the initiative to speak.
"Um?"
“It’s nice here.”
Listening to this, Victor raised the corners of his mouth and nodded, "Let's just work hard and live well here!"
Afterwards, the two of them walked briskly towards home.
As a result, he met O'Neal and Lucas in the residential area where he lived.
When they saw them, they were so scared that their legs went limp and they almost fell to their knees.
There are orcs in the human territory!
The orcs are the most brutal! They also often capture the goblins as mining slaves!
The whole body began to tremble slightly.
O'Neill and Lucas saw the two undead goblins trembling with fear, and they looked around quickly, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that there was no one around.
"You two guys, don't be so timid. We are soldiers of the territory and we will not harm the residents casually." O'Neill snorted.
Perhaps in view of their powerful performance in this mission, they have now formed an orc army of their own. He and Lucas each lead a team. He now wants to live a good life in this territory, and does not want to be misunderstood as bullying others, which would affect their image.
"I... understand." After saying this, Victor took Dunlop back home and slammed the door.
Looking at the tightly closed door, O'Neal snorted, "What a coward."
"It's normal that they have a low status in the Stan Continent." Lucas said casually.
"This Hope Village is really weird. The special building summons can actually summon so many races. Among the undead, it can even recruit dwarves and goblins." O'Neill muttered.
“Whether it’s Overlord Village or Hope Village, these humans are all quite special. But in comparison, Hope Village is doing better,” Lucas said sincerely.
Whether it was Overlord Village, Yuxi Village or Hope Village, after these humans knew their identities, even if they were afraid, they were afraid of their appearance and strength. When they really lived together, knowing that they would not hurt them, their attitude towards them was very calm and equal.
He felt uncomfortable at first, but after getting used to it, he quite liked the feeling.
So even though this is human territory, he can adapt well.
"They don't know where they came from. They shouldn't be the humans from the Stan Continent that we know of."
"No matter where they come from, they are now people of Stan Continent. In the future, they will have to face the complex situation of the entire Stan Continent. I don't know how far they can develop. From what they said, there are still many territories like this."
"If this is the case, won't the power of the human territory rise?"
"You seem to be living here now. Who said you plan to develop it for a long time and are even willing to fight against the orcs?"
"Just Hope Village." O'Neill snorted, "I don't recognize other human territories."
"This place is quite special." Lucas said with emotion: "Only here can we, as well as those weak goblins, live well."
It's about living, not being alive.
He felt that he also began to like this place a little.
On the other side, Dunlop and Victor, who had returned home, both breathed a long sigh of relief, and then smiled at each other.
It turns out that goblins really have the opportunity to live openly in human territory!
No one dares to bully!
