MC's career as foreign lord

Chapter 12 New Neighbors

Just as they were all still wondering, the leader seemed to have recovered. He looked deeply at the fire in front of him and exhaled a faint breath of hot air, "Everyone, stop thinking about stealing things and run!"

"Why run?" The crowd was confused. Clearly, they hadn't reached the place yet. Wouldn't running away mean losing everything?

The leader looked like he was disappointed in them. "Don't you guys understand? What's the premise for us robbing this place? Do we have a lot of people?"

"Isn't that the case?" A questioning voice came from the crowd.

"Idiots!" the leader said. "If just having a lot of people was enough to win, then humans would have been the overlords of this continent long ago!"

He took a deep breath, touched the invisible wall in front of him, and said, "The premise for us coming here is that the outsider is just a spellcaster apprentice. But look at this wall. Could an apprentice have made this?"

Another voice came from the crowd, "Then wouldn't that mean that the professional mage is watching us right now?"

The leader shook his head, "He's probably thinking about what method to use to kill us all! For example, releasing one of the monsters he's raising?"

"Roar!" Coincidentally, the fish, which hadn't been making any noise, seemed to have accumulated some energy again and let out a earth-shattering roar.

"Damn it!" The leader spat out the grass stem in his mouth. "Everyone, stop thinking about making money. That's the sound of the monster. Run!"

He turned his head, but where were the people? All that was left were some figures in the darkness and panicked shouts!

He couldn't care less about any dignity or demeanor—anyway, he didn't have that stuff. He took off and ran. While running, he turned his head to firmly remember the things here.

"Oh!" Zhou Ren stretched lazily. Almost as soon as the sunlight appeared on the horizon, he had already woken up.

This is also one of the special effects of the bed. Not only can it make people sleep at a set time, and ensure they fall asleep, but it can also make people wake up at a fixed time, eliminating the possibility of sleeping in.

This bed will directly bounce you up the moment you wake up, making lying back down a luxury.

He was just complaining. There were still many things to do every day, and it was impossible to really sleep in. The sunlight outside the window shone through the glass, making it seem particularly beautiful.

"Huh? It's not a blue sun!" Zhou Ren looked at the red sun outside and couldn't help but feel puzzled. Could it be that the sun here changes color?

However, after a brief thought, Zhou Ren gave up on his other ideas. After all, he was just a small lord of a remote town, and even if the sky fell, it probably wouldn't be his concern.

He took a piece of casual clothes from the clothes rack next to him. Under the automatic action of the skin system, it quickly became clean and new.

The casual clothes of this world are a bit like the clothes of ancient monks or missionaries. Although they are also robes, they have a lot of partitions and fixings, making them more convenient to wear than mage robes.

Of course, this is not the main point, because Zhou Ren's gaze has passed through the windowsill and saw the gate, where a man is standing respectfully, holding some things in his hand.

"Is Henry here so early?" Zhou Ren thought. He hurriedly put on his shoes, ran to open the door, and was about to go over to greet him, but seemed to think of something and brought a little bread.

Henry stood nervously at the gate. The shoes scattered at the gate and on the road had been collected by him, which meant that a chase might have happened here.

Then he saw Zhou Ren, who was smiling, appearing in front of him, and quickly bowed, "Lord, I'm here!"

Zhou Ren nodded, "You're here so early! Good, here, this is for you!"

He threw a loaf of bread that was the size of his arm to Henry, and also threw a bag of gold coins over, "Help me buy some flint and feathers from the town. If possible, also buy me some kitchen tools!"

"Yes, Lord!" Henry replied subconsciously, and then looked at the bread in his arms, stunned for a moment, "Lord, this..."

But when he looked up, he saw that Zhou Ren's figure had already drifted away, "Still at this time, this place, just bring me the things!"

Henry quickly stuffed the money into his arms, thought for a while, tore off a small piece of bread and ate it. Just as he was about to take a second bite, he restrained his desire and stuffed the bread back into his arms.

This bread is so delicious, clean, soft, and fluffy, without any dry wheat husks or stones. It's something that only nobles can eat. The children at home haven't tasted it yet!

He immediately had the motivation to continue moving forward, running quickly on the wilderness road, and disappeared in an instant. There was still not a single person on this road.

Zhou Ren then came to the river bank while gnawing on the bread, scooped two buckets of water with two buckets, and came to a depression behind the house again.

This place itself is much lower than other places, and the bottom is all hard stones, which has no value for utilization.

Thinking of stones, he suddenly paused, blocked a place with a slope, slightly modified it, and then directly surrounded the other areas with stones.

Since there is a place that can directly lead to the stone layer, Zhou Ren is relieved. If he needs to go down to the mine in the future, he can directly build a road down from here. It's good to think about it.

I just don't know if there will be mines under the ground in this world, or if something more refreshing will come to wake me up like yesterday?

Zhou Ren put aside these strange whims. It's time to do something serious.

Of course, the aftermath of last night's events will not be eliminated so quickly. Now Zhou Ren can still hear the roar coming from the distance from time to time!

If he wasn't really guilty, he might have already found a way to dissect this big guy!

As for now, let's wait until he finds the real information about this fish one day. Even in this particularly magical place, this strange fish should be very rare, right?

But this has little to do with what he is doing now. After experiencing last night's lesson, Zhou Ren made up his mind to build a pool himself, so there shouldn't be any outrageous fish again, right?

The entrance to the future mine was completely separated by him with two layers of cobblestones. In this way, no matter what happens to the fish pond in the future, it will have nothing to do with here, unless the creeper blows up the fish pond...

Of course, these are all things that have no shadow, and Zhou Ren doesn't care much. Just like the agreed fish pond, in fact, there is not a single fish in it except for a pool of clear water.

Indeed, Zhou Ren had only just covered the bottom of the pool with two buckets of water in that short amount of time. He hadn't had time to add more, so it was only a thin layer!

However, replenishing the water wasn't a big project. After a few days of training, Zhou Ren had significantly improved both his physique and endurance. That's how he was able to complete the heavy labor.

Although Zhou Ren had transmigrated, he could clearly feel that his body was definitely not the one that would get winded after running a few steps. Instead, it was a strong body that had been modified by the MC system, capable of digging four blocks of land in a row.

You have to know that a bucket of water is the size of a block, and in terms of weight, it's more than a ton. But Zhou Ren could now lift it with only a slight feeling of exertion, which was already outrageous!

He spent another half an hour paving the other side of the pool. In fact, when infinite water has a flat surface, it will quickly expand to all areas, so Zhou Ren's speed was actually not slow.

When he poured a bucket of water into another corner, the originally turbulent water surface quickly leveled out, and then turned into a pool as smooth as a mirror. The fishing pond was complete!

Zhou Ren quickly took out his small stool and fishing rod, and sat down directly in the shadow extending from the back of the house. There weren't even any fish in here yet, so it was impossible for him to get another surprise, right!

So he cast his fishing rod and sat on the chair waiting for the fish to bite. The water surface was calm and there was no movement at all, but Zhou Ren seemed to have sensed something and suddenly raised his head!

A thin line of water happened to appear on the surface of the water, as if chasing something, and rushed straight towards Zhou Ren's hook!

Zhou Ren was very careful this time and didn't cast the rod first, but waited for the line of water to suddenly disappear in front of the hook, and then struck suddenly!

"Obtained item: [Iron Horse Armor]"

"Hey? You can really get this kind of weird item!" Zhou Ren exclaimed, "Let's try again!"

Fishing is quite interesting! Zhou Ren thought.

As he said that, he fished up another thing, which was a huge pufferfish, which had now been turned into a big balloon, floating in the air, hooked by the fishing rod.

Zhou Ren quickly took out the bag on his body and put it in, and his heart calmed down all of a sudden. Unexpectedly, you can really fish in a fishless pond!

He continued to sit down and fish, deciding that he would eat fish for lunch today! He was tired of eating meat and bread every day!

This person is quite interesting! Antinoya thought.

The two people seemed to have thought of the same thing at the same time, except that one person was fantasizing about how to fish by the pool, while the other was squeezing her little head in the sky, touching a transparent罩子 and saying nothing.

Of course, Zhou Ren couldn't see the person thousands of meters above him. He was still focused on fishing, and he would never have imagined that he was now being broadcast live.

And Antinoya, as a mature high elf, was naturally like this, spending three days preparing and then coming over to take a look. She was simply a model of diligence.

It's just that the owner here doesn't seem to want her to come in. A barrier facility that is a bit similar to the Elven or Dragon Island is activated, but this barrier is relatively simple and does not have the effect of confusing or guiding, it just coldly refuses.

"Oh! How annoying! If I weren't of the Lawful Good alignment, I would really like to level this place directly!" Lawful Good elves are not without tempers. She even thought about just breaking in.

But human spellcasters are not easy to mess with, especially in these days when the magic net is turbulent and all the gods have almost disappeared at the same time, it is better to be stable.

If the sky was still there and the magic net had not broken, and no god had suddenly disappeared, many high-level elves would have thought that there would be another God War or Saint Disaster.

This is not the Primordial Era, nor the Heavenly Fire Era. Mortal beings don't have much time to consider the affairs of the gods, so naturally they have to consider the actions of other mortals more.

According to the middle-aged mage under her command, this young man is at least an intermediate professional, but it is not clear whether he is a mage or a术士, but being able to set up such a large barrier here is probably not easy to mess with.

With a thought, she had already appeared in the town hall, in Mayor Locke's room.

"Who!" Locke himself was a powerful professional, and when he felt someone, his hand had already gripped the knight's sword on the side of the table.

"It's me!" A crisp, girl-like voice appeared, relaxing his originally tense nerves. "It's Lord Antinoya! What brings you here?"

"This is not the territory of the elves. As an elven executive, can't I come here?" Antinoya's voice was cold, but as soon as she spoke, Mayor Locke breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since Lord Antinoya has spoken, I will naturally obey. What do you want?" After all, he was making a living on the elven empire's acre of land, so Locke naturally had political wisdom. At least with this adult here, many troubles are actually not troubles.

"I want to stay here for a while. I want you to allocate a piece of land to me, just the land west of the town along the river to the wasteland, how about it?" Antinoya said, she seemed very indifferent, but Locke looked puzzled.

But he didn't say it. Naturally, the high elves wanted real estate, so just give it to her. Anyway, as an executive, she is not without money to buy this land.

Locke nodded and said, "From now on, this land belongs to you, my lord. I will have someone send the contract to Old Ford!"

"Okay! Keep up the good work!" She patted Locke on the shoulder, and disappeared again in the next second.

Locke sighed, "Talent magic space, this adult didn't even use a magic slot! The talent bloodlines of these high-level races are really terrifying!"

But he smiled again, "No matter what kind of relationship she has with that outsider, at least during this period of time, our town can be considered worry-free!"

God knows how much effort he has made to protect the town. Even the Silver Moon Church of Lord Corellon has been there more than once. This time, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief. As for that outsider, he should know tomorrow that he has a neighbor, right?
