The lord has been away for about a week and will be back soon. The territory is being cleaned up by the people themselves.
"Flowers? Where did these flowers come from?!"
"The cactus we transplanted earlier has bloomed!"
Several of the transplanted cacti within the territory have started to bloom, and the children go to check on them three times a day.
"Take good care of the cactus; the lord will be pleased to see the flowers when he returns!"
The flowering period of cacti varies depending on the variety. Some cacti bloom only once every few years, and each bloom only lasts for a few hours, while others bloom for several months.
A few rabbit-like orcs walked over and looked at the cactus.
"If you want it to last longer, we can take it down and make dried flowers to decorate the gate of the territory. Of course, with us rabbits here, you can rest assured that these flowers will continue to bloom until the lord arrives. The lord will definitely be happy to see them."
Rabbits are the best at tending to plants, and rabbit-human hybrids possess this gene, making them also adept at plant care.
The Kad couple spent over a dozen gold coins to buy zero-pollution amplification food for their daughter at the infirmary. This was only because Lord Sid appreciated his hard work in hauling goods, which helped the territory accumulate supplies for the winter, and also because he later promised to join the territory and his daughter was indeed seriously ill and urgently needed medicine. So, he sold it to him at the original price.
Sure enough, his daughter recovered quickly after using the zero-pollution amplification food, and this recovery was better than the recovery he had achieved with other expensive foods he had previously purchased.
That's when the couple finally decided to stay in the territory.
They had indeed hesitated about becoming slaves before. To be honest, no one wanted to be a slave in the wasteland. Not only would he be a slave, but his children would be slaves for generations to come. He was hesitant, but his daughter was about to die, and becoming a slave would at least save her life.
Furthermore, unlike other territories, the slaves in Qin Territory are even more human than those outside. Besides, in the wasteland world, it would be good enough if they could protect themselves and their children, let alone their descendants.
“Perhaps we should choose a territory to settle in, and become merchants in Qin territory from now on.” Kade held the registration form for entering the territory.
"Entering Qin territory means you'll be a slave!" White Rabbit sat at the table and handed Card three forms.
This is a rule that Qin Ling tacitly agrees to.
[The noble lord declares that he did not establish such a rule; it was simply that the initial group mistakenly believed that anyone joining would necessarily be a slave, and added this propaganda rule when recruiting!]
Some rules didn't exist originally, but they became rules simply because many people talked about them.
The lord's rules need to be upheld by everyone, but the people of these territories automatically add some inexplicable regulations to their territories.
Card wrote his information on the registration form and put on the bracelet.
From today onwards, Khad is also one of the slaves of the territory.
but
Qin Yiyi: There's really no need for that!
The noble lord is on his way home. In addition to routine maintenance, the territory has also found another vast area that connects to the previous railway line this week.
"Let's see if the protective shield can extend this way!"
Unlike the previous railway tracks which were surrounded by houses, this railway track is surrounded by a wide expanse of land.
"Hey! With this place, we can move our greenhouse vegetables here, and we can plant some wheat, and maybe even some rice, on ordinary Christmas days after winter!"
"Now we need to start clearing this land. After clearing it in the next few days, we can sow seeds and harvest some fast-growing vegetables that can grow in ten or twenty days!"
"The soil hasn't been fertilized or treated in any special way. How about we ask Lord Sid to pour in some special nutrient solution to help the soil mature? Then we can harvest a crop of vegetables and make some pickles. We need to ensure the Lord's vegetable supply in winter!"
Several skilled farmers were discussing their work when they failed to notice a hole in the ground next to the railway tracks, revealing a pair of orc eyes.
It was a burrowing pangolin with two bright little eyes peeking out, its entire body covered in scales.
Pangolins dig burrows to improve their quality of life, such as summer burrows and winter burrows, which are warm in winter and cool in summer. On this particular day, while digging a burrow, they encountered other orcs.
The timid pangolin immediately went back and told its tribe. About a hundred pangolins sat in their huge burrow.
Have other orcs discovered this place?
Are they coming to take over this place?
"What if the weak pangolin can't beat them?!"
"They look like people from the neighboring territory. Didn't we see people from the neighboring territory from afar before?"
“Dear Mom, if we can’t beat them, we should join them! Join the territory next door! I’ve seen their houses, and I’ve even seen those orcs eating by the railway tracks sometimes. Their food is better than ours. If we follow them, maybe we won’t have to scavenge tree bark anymore, Mom!”
The pangolin clan is discussing how to deal with the crisis that may lead to the destruction of their homeland.
Of course, they definitely couldn't beat these orcs.
At this moment, Qin Yiyi stood on the RV, looking at the territory she was about to arrive at with great joy.
She returned in the morning, and countless half-orcs and beastmen welcomed her back with homemade artificial flowers, clapping devices, and colorful streamers.
She specially changed into a new dress. The lord, who got up early to dress up, wore a cool high heel, an ankle-length skirt, and a sun hat. She combed her long, slightly curly black hair into a big braid, making her look lively and playful.
stop!
You misspoke!
Let's try again!
She appeared noble and dignified, and the lord walked at the front with her head held high, enjoying the welcome of the crowd, and saw flamingos flying in the sky.
It's infuriating! These half-orcs and orcs are already tall enough, forcing her to walk with her head held high, and this flamingo still dares to fly into the sky!
"That bird, yes, I'm talking to you, get down here! Your favorability rating will decrease by another ten points!"
As soon as the lord spoke, the area within the flamingo's radius instantly became deserted, even her own brother, the black and white whale, chose to stay with Kad.
What? What are you doing with Card?
One is a middleman and the other is a businessman; of course they'll have things to talk about.
As for the sister? What? How could a whale's sister be a bird! There must be a mistake!
The noble lord glanced at the time and realized it was already ten o'clock.
"You're not working at this hour? Staying here is hindering the development of my territory!" the lord said fiercely.
"My esteemed lord, everyone wanted to welcome you, so we prepared a flower wreath for you! The flowers were picked from a cactus and dried for you!"
There are flower wreaths!
"Hmph, then hurry up and put it on for me!"
"For the sake of the wreath, we'll let it go this time!"
"Of course the wreath is on my hat. Well, it's not too hot now, so I can reluctantly take my hat off and wear your wreath for a bit!"
