Just as the newcomers were exploring the game with great anticipation, Ryan also returned to Guanhai City.

The effect of this inspection was generally good, and it successfully created an image of a lord who was majestic yet friendly in the minds of the newbies.

He also checked the war preparedness of various towns, especially Silver Leaf Town.

Among the three towns in the north of the territory, Wudou Town and Shityuan Town have superior geographical locations, making them easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Only Yinye Town had no strategic location to defend. The terrain to the north of the town was flat, making it an easy target for attack by the northern nobles.

Fortunately, the manager of Silver Leaf Town is the brave and resourceful Baron Karlov, and Ryan is very confident in him.

With Baron Karlov in charge of Silver Leaf Town, at least there is no need to worry about the fall of Silver Leaf Town.

Of course, Silverleaf Town being attacked is only the worst-case scenario. Ryan has said before that he will not passively take a beating, otherwise he would not have named the expansion pack "Southern and Northern Expeditions".

Given the players' bellicosity, as soon as the new batch of rookies get through the novice period, they will quickly attack the northern nobles.

Therefore, when Ryan was inspecting Silver Leaf Town, he specifically instructed Baron Karlov to be prepared to accommodate a large number of visitors from the Divine Realm and strive to build Silver Leaf Town into a bridgehead for this war.

Baron Karlov almost couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard this. He was just worrying about how to develop Silver Leaf Town, and Ryan brought the development direction to his doorstep.

You know, although war will bring destruction, it is also a catalyst for development. Not to mention that visitors from the divine world are a high-spending group. As long as they are well served, Yinye Town is bound to rise rapidly.

It’s a pity that Wudou Town cannot ride on the chariot of war. While the tall Cuifeng Mountain protects Wudou Town, it also becomes an obstacle to its development.

But Karlov changed his mind and realized that Wudou Town had already begun to develop tourism according to Ryan's request, attracting visitors from the divine world through the town's customs and the naughty pandas on Cuifeng Mountain.

Although Karlov was not clear about the development prospects of the tourism industry, he had full confidence in Ryan's vision and ability. Since Ryan was optimistic about this development direction, it would definitely work.

Therefore, it may be a good thing that Wudou Town cannot participate in this war. High returns are often accompanied by high risks. He only hopes that his hometown can develop peacefully and steadily.

Even though Karlov is no longer the lord of Wudou Town, he still misses the land that raised him.

So when he heard that the Knight Commander of the Swamp King Knights failed to manage the Fighting Town well, he was so angry that he started cursing.

If he wasn't afraid of causing Ryan's displeasure, he would have wanted to run to Wudou Town to ask that useless Knight Commander what he did for a living.

Wudou Town is obviously very easy to manage. If anyone disobeys you, just beat him up!

What? The Knight Commander thought this was unnoble?

Isn't this pure brain damage!
The first thing Karlov, who had come into contact with the visitors from the divine world at an early age, learned was to curse. He then drew a circle and started cursing with the Knight Commander's parents as the center, relatives as the radius, and ancestors as the purpose.

But just cursing wouldn't solve the problem, so after thinking it over again and again, Karloff risked being suspected of his loyalty by Ryan and asked if someone else could be appointed to manage Wudou Town.

After making this request, Karloff was ready to be beaten by Ryan.

Who would have thought that Ryan not only did not scold him, but instead admitted that he had the idea of ​​replacing someone a long time ago, but there was no suitable candidate.

However, he discovered a talent in this war who would definitely be able to manage Wudou Town well.

After hearing this, Karlov finally let go of the huge rock in his heart. He then thanked and praised Ryan, and then left with satisfaction.

He did not ask who the candidate was. On the one hand, it was because he believed in Ryan's vision. On the other hand, as the original lord of Wudou Town, he absolutely could not interfere in the appointment of the manager of Wudou Town.

Although Ryan is broad-minded and may not care about these trivial matters, he, as a subordinate, must be aware of this and cannot always rely on Ryan's mercy.

You know, tolerance also has a bottom line. Karlov doesn't want to test where this bottom line is. He just wants to stay away from this bottom line, the farther the better!
A few days after the war, Ryan appointed a new manager for Wudou Town, Captain Watson, who had made great contributions by instigating the rebellion of the guards during the war.

Oh no, now he should be called Knight Commander Watson. Ryan personally held a canonization ceremony for him.

Karlov briefly inquired about the new manager's past and abilities, and then felt completely relieved.

Although Watson became the captain of the guard through a backdoor, his ability is still pretty good.

Moreover, Lord Ryan rewarded him with a chance to capture a Pokémon, allowing him to further improve his strength.

The key is that all his Pokémon have fighting attributes. Even the newly captured Pokémon are wrestling eagles that are good at close combat, which is very compatible with the local conditions and customs of the fighting town.

Karlov believed that the other party would be able to quickly stabilize Wudou Town.

The result was as he expected. Knight Commander Watson used physical means to convince the residents of Wudou Town in just two days, making them willingly obey his management.

To be honest, after hearing the news, Karlov felt happy for Wudou Town, but also a little sour.

However, he quickly adjusted his mood and devoted all his energy to the development of Yinye Town. The results he achieved were also praised by Ryan.

When Karlov heard that Ryan wanted to entrust the important task of building a war bridgehead to himself and Silver Leaf Town, he took on the task without hesitation.

Ryan was very satisfied with Karlov's attitude. After encouraging him, he returned to Guanhai City.

He had just returned to Blue Moon Castle and hadn't even had time to sit down and have a cup of tea when Pink Onion Head came rushing over.

"It's bad, it's bad! Our tribe's wealth is about to be taken away by your brave warriors!"

Celebi flew to Ryan and said anxiously: "Go and take care of your heroes. Don't let them make friends with my companions. We really can't afford it!"

Ryan asked Bu Sihu to pour him a cup of black tea and said calmly:
"Look, you're in a hurry. Being in a hurry won't solve the problem. Can't you just talk slowly about what you want to say?"

"But."

"No buts. Please give me a brief summary of the matter first." Ryan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Celebi thought for a moment and concluded: "Your heroes are collecting protection money from my companions!"

"puff!"

Ryan suddenly spit out the tea in his mouth and said in shock:
"What the hell? They're asking Rabbi Shi for protection money? Isn't this turning the tables on Tian Gang?"

Then he shook his head again: "I don't believe they dare to do this. You'd better not summarize it, just tell the whole story first."

Celebi curled his lips and immediately explained the whole story.

Ryan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and glared at Celebi unhappily:
"They are accepting a meeting gift, not protection money, so don't make random conclusions!"

Celebi sat on Ryan's shoulder and said confidently:
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, they are almost emptying our tribe's assets. If they continue like this, we won't be able to afford food!"

"Really? I remember that you Celebi don't have much need for food."

"Oh, why are you so stupid? I'm telling you how serious the situation is!" "Serious? Although what I'm going to say next may sound a bit shameless, those props that we think are precious don't seem to be of any use to you, the Celebi clan, right?"

Ryan picked up the teacup again and took a sip of tea, treating the last sip as rinsing his mouth.

"Moreover, the gifts they sent were all from their own private collection. When did they become related to your entire tribe?"

Celebi's swinging feet suddenly paused, and then he said loudly:

"I don't care! Their things belong to me, the boss!"

"Oh, I didn't realize you were so domineering. But what you care about is not the gifts, but your little brother making friends with others, right?" Ryan saw through Celebi's true thoughts at a glance.

When Celebi heard this, a panicked expression suddenly appeared on his face, and the tentacles on his forehead began to shake unconsciously:
"Don't talk nonsense! Who cares about such a small matter? They can make friends with whoever they want. I don't care!"

In order to prevent Celebi from breaking his arm in anger, Ryan did not expose its cover-up, but said slowly:

"Okay, but I still have a question. Logically speaking, under the teachings of your elders, those young Celebi should be afraid of humans and keep their distance from them."

"I was originally worried about whether they could live in peace with humans, but I didn't expect them to like making friends with humans so much. Why did they change so much? Did something happen in the meantime?"

Facing Ryan's inquiring gaze, Celebi turned his head guiltily and said with a lack of confidence:
"How do I know what they are thinking?"

"You really don't know? Then I'd better blow a recorder and ask them myself."

Ryan said this while pretending to take out his recorder.

Celebi panicked when he saw this, and quickly said:
"Actually, I can guess a little bit, but my guess may not be accurate!"

"It's okay, you just need to tell me your guess and I'll judge whether it's accurate or not." Ryan said with a smile.

Celebi pouted, nodded reluctantly, and then expressed his "guess".

"That's right. When I returned to the tribe last time and told the elders of the tribe about the instructions given by the two Lords, my little brothers insisted on asking me to tell them about this adventure."

"Of course I didn't want to tell them at first, but they kept pestering me, so I told them a little bit. Who knew they would suddenly become interested in humans and want to be friends with humans."

Ryan raised an eyebrow: "Slightly? A little bit? Are you sure?"

Celebi's eyes dodged as he said, "Well, I was planning to only say a little bit, but I ended up saying too much without realizing it."

"How much is the maximum?" Ryan continued to ask.

Celebi hesitantly responded, "Not much, just from our meeting to our safe return to Firefly Town."

".You've already told me everything!" Ryan couldn't help but complain.

Seeing that he could no longer hide the truth, Celebi immediately started to act like a rogue:
"Why are you yelling so loudly? I didn't say anything. I even did some artistic processing on some parts!"

"Artistic processing? Are you distorting the facts?"

"How can this be called distorting the facts? I just want to make the story more exciting. Isn't that what you humans do in your novels, storybooks, and future movies?"

"So, what story did you tell them?" Ryan asked curiously.

"It's nothing, actually. I just said that you faced the Gods of Time and Space to save me, and even fought with the God of Antimatter."

Celebi muttered quietly, his voice becoming smaller and smaller.

Ryan pointed at himself and said, "Ah? Me? You really think highly of me!"

"Did I say something wrong? Didn't you communicate with the Gods of Time and Space? Didn't Mewtwo attack Giratina?"

Celebi put his hands on his hips and spoke confidently.

Ryan wanted to say that this is not all for you, but when he saw that the rabbi didn't dare to look at him directly, he was deeply touched.

Maybe the little guy just wanted to get his favor. Even if he knew the story was false, at least he would feel satisfied.

Thinking of this, Ryan's eyes suddenly softened, and his tone slowed down:
"Well, what you said makes sense. I have to admit that it was you who gave me the courage to face the gods."

Upon hearing this, Celebi's eyes lit up, and he raised his little head and asked Ryan:

"Really? Do you really have the courage to face those three Lords because of me?"

When it saw Ryan nod, the corners of its mouth could no longer be suppressed and began to rise wildly.

"Oh, I'm so important. It seems like I can't do anything without you."

"That can't be helped. Since you are tasked with repairing the River of Time, I can only stay by your side~"

Looking at Celebi's cute insincere look, a smile appeared on Ryan's lips.

"You mean you'll leave me once the River of Time is successfully repaired?"

"I didn't say that!" Celebi subconsciously retorted loudly, then felt that his reaction was too big, and quickly explained:
"I mean, I can stay if I want to, or leave if I want to. No one can make the decision for me!"

After saying that, it proudly raised its chin towards Ryan:

"What? Are you reluctant to let me go? Then beg me, maybe..."

"I really can't bear to leave you, so..." Ryan looked directly into Celebi's eyes and said seriously: "Please don't leave, stay with me, okay?"

Celebi's little face suddenly turned red, and even her pink cheeks could not hide the two shy blushes.

"Look at your performance!" Celebi said stutteringly, but it regretted it as soon as it said it, fearing that Ryan would not be satisfied with this answer.

It was about to change its words and say that it didn't matter if it performed poorly, but Ryan touched its head and said gently:

"Okay, I will behave well and will definitely keep you by my side!"

As soon as these words came out, Celebi's mind suddenly went blank, and he could only vaguely hear Ryan's cry:
"Hey, hey, hey, why did you faint again? Is this little guy so easily shy?"

There was only one thought left in Celebi's mind at this moment.

It's over! I'll be too embarrassed to see anyone again! (End of this chapter)
