Lords go left, Emperors go right

Although there are still many primitive tribes in the territory that have not recognized Aosta's identity and status as a lord, if Aosta persists, it will not be difficult to gain recognition from more primitive tribes. It is only a matter of time.

"Lord Osta, do you want to consider relocating the lord's mansion? The three tribes' areas are all options. The original cabin is located on the outer edge of the territory. It is not safe to use it as a temporary lord's mansion!"

"Chris, you have to arrange this matter. When it is completed, just report to me. Now, I still need to go to Rosie to check the situation of the crops."

Chapter 29: Rapid Construction of the New Port Terminal

After Osta had dealt with several female chieftains, he had initially established a firm foothold in the Bloomfield area. Three primitive tribes of the Nolanthians recognized his status as a lord and acknowledged his ruling position. Although these primitive tribes accounted for a small proportion of the Bloomfield area, Osta finally had residents who belonged to his territory and could be considered a true lord. Before, it was just a nominal title.

When Osta arrived at the bottom of the underground, he found that the potatoes that had just been planted were growing very fast. A few days were equivalent to several weeks of growth time on Earth. The soil in the Central Continent is not only fertile, but also almost like a cheat, even more outrageous than knocking on the golden cleaver. The crops planted grow as fast as a rocket. The farming-type traversers of the time used their points to exchange for the gold finger plug-in from the system, which included the option of fertile land. Osta picked up the legacy left by his predecessors and inherited the gold finger plug-in of golden soil.

"Lord brother, is this edible? It's rarely seen in markets on other continents."

"Of course, Luo Xi, those fools from other continents just don't understand. This is a good thing."

"Lord brother, can we dig these out now?"

"Rosie, this won't work for now. The harvest time will probably be much earlier."

Osta was inspecting the newly reclaimed farmland of the underground tribe. Accompanying him were several maids and the female leader of the underground tribe, Roshi. This loli had a thoughtful expression and seemed confused about whether potatoes were edible.

Osta did not laugh at her ignorance, but patiently explained to the beautiful loli girl. After all, after the fall of prehistoric civilization, the human race in other continents basically did not know the correct way to sow seeds. As a result, the yield of potatoes grown was very low, and the quality was extremely poor. They could not be put on the market at all. It was normal that outsiders had never seen them. Even when feeding pigs, pigs disliked them. The reputation was extremely bad and they could not even be used as pig food.

According to Osta's speculation, with the current crazy rocket-like growth rate, potatoes that originally took three or four months to mature can be harvested in one or two months, and the growth cycle is directly shortened by half.

On Earth, potatoes can only be planted and harvested about three times a year, and three harvests a year is the limit. After crossing to this alien continent, due to various special reasons, the potato planting industry can be planted and harvested more than six times a year, and the output has doubled.

If we can grow potatoes six times a year and keep planting, we will soon be able to solve the food crisis in the Bloomfield area and eliminate the possibility of wars between primitive tribes for food. Potatoes can still be promoted. The primitive tribes here have no prejudice against potatoes and have never been opposed to them.

The Treasure Tribe sent a large number of laborers to Marianas Beach to assist the Twin Tribe. The tribesmen on both sides built a simple dock together according to the orders of their respective matriarchs. These primitive residents were not the main force of the construction. The main force was the matriarchs Clena and Claya sisters, as well as Mira, and the three monsters they summoned.

The former summoned a large number of humanoid slimes, and the latter summoned a large number of humanoid devourers. There was a mysterious and strange atmosphere at the construction site. The clan members of the primitive tribe transported various building materials, such as wood and stone, here and handed them over to those vague humanoid monsters to build.

Monsters don't need to rest, so they can work day and night like robots. In just a few days, the outline of a simple dock appeared. Aosta himself doesn't know how to design buildings, and the dock construction drawings were found in the treasure chests of the treasure tribe. They are obviously inherited from the relics of the travelers in the prehistoric civilization period.

Aosta pursues quality. Stones and wood are collected from the Mikulusde Mountains with the help of the treasure tribe. Especially the stones are collected with the help of "Rat Girl" Rosie. She uses her special ability to dig deep underground in the mountains and collect them. They are all high-quality stones. The special stones dug out from deep underground are very hard. Rosie used her special ability to dig them out. If it were someone else, using tools to collect them, there would be a high probability that the excavation would fail. Iron pickaxes are not as hard as stones.

Watching the dock being built step by step, Aosta was very pleased. Previously, the Mager Dock was granted by Emperor Augustus VIII to the Sixth Prince, Ostus, who imposed high commercial taxes and tariffs as soon as he came to power, cutting off Aosta's sea routes and transportation lines.

Osta had no choice but to build a simple dock by himself. He cooperated with the pirate queen Lianna and Belus to carry out smuggling activities through their exclusive pirate fleet. Osta did not want to argue with that stinky brother for the time being. Relying on other people's ports was not a long-term solution. Building a dock by himself was the only way out.

"My Lord, this language is the language of the gods. It would be bad to teach it to us!"

"Goneias, times have changed. There's no need to be so pedantic. This word is pronounced like this, written like this, and means..."

Osta was not idle. He moved his temporary lord's residence from the outer edge of Bloomfield's territory to the Marianas Beach area, which marked the beginning of his rule gradually moving towards the center of the territory. In this temporary wooden house, Osta set up a simple classroom to teach Chinese.

The main people who came to the class were the matriarchs of the three major tribes, Rosie, the sisters Clena and Claya, and Mira. There was also the leader of the Nolanthians, the white witch Gonias, and the three exclusive maids around Osta, Chris, Yulia, and Sophia.

Teaching Chinese is not an easy task. Fortunately, the predecessors who traveled through time left behind a lot of quick-learning materials in the treasure chests of the treasure-hunting tribe. After Osta found these materials, he could achieve quick success by just following the methods recorded in the materials to teach.

The beautiful girls present all had great learning talents, and after a few days of classes, they were able to master a lot of Chinese. Once they had fully mastered the way these Chinese words were spoken and written, they could be responsible for teaching, and then teach their tribe members how to use the new language, forming a gradually spreading cycle.

Osta's purpose is obvious, he wants to unify the language of the Bloomfield area, and the original ancient languages ​​of the primitive tribes will not be banned. The new lord only advocates and advocates that when members of different tribes meet in the future, they should try to use this unified common language, that is, Chinese, to communicate, which is equivalent to the legendary official common language.

Unifying the language and writing is only one of the first few steps towards unification. Aosta also wants to take the opportunity to unify the weighing units and road widths. The primitive tribes in the Bloomfield area are all in the primitive society and have not even developed to the slave age.

It is very difficult to skip the slave era and directly transition to the later feudal era and the feudal agricultural civilization period. Aosta is not a saint, so he can only refer to the measures taken by a founding emperor of an ancient oriental country on Earth to build his territory.

As long as the language and writing are unified, it will be easier to deal with in the future, and it will strengthen the unity and cohesion among the members of the various primitive tribes and clans in the territory. Unlike other princes, Osta did not force the promotion of the language and writing of the Obelisk Empire after taking office, and did so by violent means. The circulation of the Chinese language is only a matter of time, and it can be promoted from these female matriarchs to the lower levels.

After teaching the correct way to collect coconut trees and promoting the way to eat seafood, Lord Osta's reputation in the Gemini tribe rose rapidly. His reputation in the Treasure Tribe also rose rapidly because he proved that he was a time traveler, that is, the descendant of the gods in the tribe's legend. Now, with the promotion of potato planting, if nothing unexpected happens, he will soon be able to win the support of the underground clan members.

"Lord Aosta, how come you are so familiar with these languages ​​and characters?"

"Chris, this is a secret, let's talk about it later! You two don't need to report this to them."

"Lord Osta, you are going too far. I am on your side now and I will not tell tales."

"Lord Osta, I swear to God that I will never tell anyone."

During the spare time of teaching, Osta chatted with Chris and reminded Yulia and Sophia that the representative forces behind these two maids were his mother and grandparents. Osta did not want them to report back on the matter of teaching new languages ​​and characters. For other rulers, promoting new languages ​​and characters could easily be misunderstood as establishing an independent country if they were not careful. Yulia and Sophia had originally intended to report, but before they put their ideas into action, they blushed after being reminded by Osta and felt embarrassed to report again.

Osta returned to his seat and took advantage of the break in teaching to look at the latest map of the Central Continent in front of him. This map only roughly depicted the known areas that had been explored, and there were actually many places with incorrect markings. Many unexplored areas were not marked in detail. There were approximate locations of the fiefs of several princes of the Obelisk Empire marked on it.

The Bloomfield area, the personal fief of the third prince Aosta, is undoubtedly the largest territory among them. However, many places are undeveloped, and the primitive tribes and clans living here are basically in the primitive civilization stage of hunting, and actually have no advantages.

What Osta is more concerned about is that there are many unowned lands around the Bloomfield territory. Osta can directly occupy these primitive areas after expanding the territory.

The fiefdom arrangement of Augustus VIII, the emperor of the Obelisk Empire and Osta's father, was obviously to take care of his favorite heir to the throne. The territory of the eldest prince Osder was second only to that of Osta.

What made Osta speechless was that his eldest brother's territory belonged to the area where the human expeditionary force first landed in the Central Continent. The area was relatively well developed, unlike his own area which was a desolate land. It was definitely the richest among the territories of the several princes in terms of wealth, at least that was the case on the surface at this stage.

It's hard to say what will happen when the territory of Aosta develops in the future. Perhaps because they are afraid of conflicts between the eldest brother and other brothers, the territory of the eldest prince, Prince Osed, basically does not border with other princes, so there will be no direct border conflicts.

Osta looked at the situation on his side again and was very confused for a moment. The other princes' territories closest to his territory were the territories of the fifth prince Osla and the sixth prince Osdu. The fifth prince was greedy by nature and valued money more than his life, while the sixth prince was cruel by nature and had obvious tendencies to be a tyrant.

Being neighbors with these two evil brothers, Osta was a little worried about the future of his territory. The probability of conflicts in the future was too high. The territories of the seventh prince Osser and the ninth prince Osmo, who had a good relationship with him, were not close to Osta's territory. Osta seriously suspected that his father, the Emperor Augustus VIII, had deliberately arranged this to let the two brothers who were difficult to get along with target him.

In order to ensure that the eldest prince Osed's status as the heir to the throne would not be challenged, Emperor Augustus VIII took great pains to restrict the other three princes who were capable of competing with the eldest prince for the throne. The third prince Osed was restricted by his two bad brothers, the sixth and seventh princes, and his territory could not develop.

The second prince, Oster, who was good at fighting, was assigned a territory near very barbaric primitive tribes. In order to resolve the threat posed by these tribes to his fiefdom, Oster was busy sending troops to attack and suppress them all day long, leaving him no time to build and develop his territory. As for the smartest fourth prince, Osk, the territory he was given was the smallest among the brothers. No matter how smart he was, he could not develop because the territory was too small and the resources were insufficient.

Augustus VIII's plan was perfect, but he didn't expect that the third son, Aosta, would be a time traveler. Moreover, the sixth and seventh sons, who were originally used to restrict the development of the third son's territory, instead served as a foil to Aosta because of their own poor performance. In the end, they helped Aosta a lot. This was probably something the emperor could not have dreamed of.

Chapter 30: The Pirate Fleet Visits the New Port

With the help of humanoid slimes and humanoid slime monsters, the port, which originally took several months or even more than a year to build, took only a week to complete and became a simple dock for ships to dock. Aosta named the port Santa Maria, probably to commemorate the name of the ship he took when he sailed to the Central Continent.

Santa Maria Port is the first foreign port in the Bloomfield area. For the sake of confidentiality, the existence of this port is temporarily a secret. After all, Aosta's original intention was just to build a port for smuggling in his territory, and he never thought that this port would become a famous foreign port in the Central Continent in the future.

The three primitive tribes of the Nolandias people who accepted the rule of the new lord Aosta were adapted under the arrangement of Aosta. The productivity of the primitive society was too backward, so Aosta directly divided the areas where these tribes were located into towns, upgrading them from tribes to towns.

The city lord is the original female leader. When Osta arrived in the Central Continent, he brought no one with him except a few exclusive maids, Chris and the others. Based on the priority of locals managing locals, Osta made this series of arrangements.

Osta's latest plan is to create towns directly in the areas where these primitive tribes are located, transitioning from tribal villages to cities. Because the Bloomfield area is in the primitive social stage, human resources are not a problem. Moreover, because there is no monetary economy, there is no need to pay any compensation when recruiting tribal members to work here, and they don't even need to provide food. The labor cost is almost zero. As long as the patriarch of each primitive tribe speaks and gives an order, the tribal members will work without any compensation.

After the town was built, Osta planned to appoint the female clan leaders as mayors. He was now just a prince sent out, and his public title was only that of Baron, so he had no way of conferring titles on his subordinates.

The princes sent to the Central Continent by the Obelisk Empire were given the lowest titles, starting from Baron. For Osta, this title was just a title and had little practical significance. Just like now, the actual area of ​​his fiefdom, the Bloomfield area, directly crushed the fiefdoms of many dukes in the Obelisk Empire. The territories of those grand dukes combined were not as large as Osta's. Although Osta was only a baron in title, the area of ​​his territory was asymmetrical and had reached the standard of establishing an independent country.

"Lord Osta, the dock here was built too quickly. It has reached this size in just one week. It's like it just fell from the sky."

"Lord Aosta, your brother is too unkind. The current tariffs and commercial taxes at Mager Wharf are too heavy. I heard that many merchant ships are willing to take a long detour and risk running aground to go to other ports instead of docking at Mager Wharf."

"Ahem, that's how Osdu is. Lianna, Belus, you don't have to worry about him. Just come to Santa Maria Port from now on. Your fleet can dock here for free and get supplies. However, you must abide by the order and not make trouble. What you do at other docks is none of my business."

"Lord Aosta, we know the rules, don't worry about that, unlike those pirates."

By the weekend, Pirate Queen Lianna and Belus led their pirate fleets to Santa Maria Port as promised, becoming the first visitors to the port. Although the first visitors were pirates, there were many pirate ships. There were more than 300 warships moored at Santa Maria Port, all of which were sailing warships. The pirate fleet under the command of "Scarlet Queen" Lianna had about 160 ships, and the pirate fleet under the command of "Golden Queen" Belus had about 140 ships.

The pirate flags of both sides were different, and the weapons of the fleets were also different. Lianna was keen on plundering, and her fleet was equipped with cannons, but the gunpowder used was of poor quality, and the cannons themselves were not good, often exploding in battle. Aosta preferred to call it a stone cannon, not a cannon, because it shot out only stones, and the power was completely not up to the standard of a real cannon.

Belus likes adventure and treasure hunting. Her fleet is equipped with super-powerful crossbows, which are used by giant crossbows. This weapon is not very effective against people, but it is more powerful against sea monsters and sea beasts. If it does not fly the pirate flag, Osta would think that Belus's fleet is a fleet specializing in whaling. The crossbow looks more suitable as a harpoon to hunt whales.

After the pirate fleet docked at the port of Santa Maria, the pirates began to move the supplies off the ship. In exchange, the members of the primitive tribal clan provided the pirates with food and fresh water supplies. It seemed that both sides were conducting a primitive barter transaction.

Belus and Lianna came to the beach area and met with Aosta. They complained about the neighboring Aosta. After that guy came to power, he imposed heavy tariffs and commercial taxes on the Mager Wharf, which directly led to too few merchant ships going there. With fewer merchant ships, the pirates' business became much worse.

Bellus and Lianna had principles. They were pirates, not sea pirates. They could not land directly like sea pirates to attack villages and rob. They were worried about the future of their fleet. The Santa Maria Pier built by Aosta provided them with free logistical supplies, which solved their urgent needs. Although Aosta issued them a legal plundering license, the number of merchant ships at sea gradually decreased after the decline of Mager Pier, and their business was not doing well.

While admiring the charming figures of the two pirate queens, Osta was thinking about other issues. He looked at the warships under the command of the two pirate queens. After all, these sailing ships were just warships, not professional merchant ships or cargo ships, and their carrying capacity was limited. Although the entire fleet was dispatched this time, with more than 300 warships, the cargo volume might not be as much as that of more than 100 merchant ships or cargo ships.

It was not the first time that Belus and Lianna had seen Osta's gentlemanly eyes. They did not care whether the prince had any bold ideas about them in his heart. They were still wearing the cool pirate outfit, a short skirt and a tube top, with a pirate military jacket on, sitting on the chairs and enjoying coconut juice.

The two pirate queens, like the twin tribe members before them, didn't know that coconut juice was edible. They were concentrating on savoring the delicious taste as if it was their first time. They didn't notice at all, because of their bold sitting posture and the miniskirts they were wearing, Osta could see their fat underneath the skirts.

Next to Osta were three maids, Chris, Yulia and Sophia, all wearing Gothic maid outfits. They were originally wearing bikinis, which were very sexy. Osta considered that today was the day when the pirate fleet was visiting, and there were many male pirates, so he didn't ask them to change. If other men saw it, Osta would feel bad and feel that he had lost a lot of money.

For the same reason, several female leaders did not come to the reception. Rosie was busy supervising the growth of potatoes and had no time to come. Let alone the three lolita sisters, Clena and Claya, and Mira. Their clothes were too dangerous, even bikinis were inferior to them. If they wore them outside, it would easily cause unnecessary trouble.

The White Witch Gonias attended the event as a local representative, wearing a white Gothic maid outfit. Several maids were busy serving delicious dishes to Osta and the two pirate queens in the pavilion, and did not participate in the meeting discussions.

"Lord Osta, business is not good right now. The other seas are controlled by the Pirate Kings. We can't change the seas. That would cause conflicts between the Pirate Kings."

"I will find a way for you. There is always a way to solve it. At worst, I will take you in when the time comes."

Osta teased them in a joking tone, and Lianna and Belus did not resist, and seemed to have tacitly accepted Osta's promise. Osta also learned about the situation of the seas around the Central Continent and the scope of activities of the fleets of various pirate kings. The Central Continent was in the primitive society stage, and business was not easy to do, so there were not many merchant ships coming here.

Among the human continents, the northern continent has developed commerce. This continent has entered the commodity economy era, and commerce is extremely prosperous. There are many merchant ships and cargo ships on the sea. The sea area between the central continent and the northern continent is a lucrative position for pirates. The rich merchant ships and cargo ships, those merchants and cargo owners are not stingy with the protection fees, and pirates are very popular there.

Lianna and Belus are not in charge of that sea area. They say that the three male pirate kings who control that area each have at least a thousand warships and a large number of sailors, and their strength ranks among the top ten pirate kings.

Lianna and Belus were active in the sea area between the Western Continent and the Central Continent. They were not as strong as the three pirate kings. In recent months, those pirate kings even sent letters to express their love and wanted to seek a marriage.

However, Lianna and Belus did not agree. They were not stupid to become pirate queens, and they were confident in their looks and figures. However, as a pirate king, the other party would not lack beauties around him, and the resource he lacked the most was women. This proposal was fake, and the real purpose was to take advantage of the opportunity to annex their fleet and then control the entire West Sea.

The distribution of the ten pirate kings is relatively regular, with the Central Continent as the center. There are three pirate kings in the North Sea, two pirate queens in the West Sea on Grace's side, three pirate kings in the South Sea, and one pirate queen and one pirate king in the East Sea. Among these four seas, the three pirate kings in the North Sea are the richest. Because the business in the North Continent is developed, there are many merchant ships and cargo ships, and their income has also risen accordingly. The next richest are the three pirate kings in the South Sea. The South Continent is a slave country with many slave ships on the sea, which can also provide pirates with many targets for looting.

The poorest is the West Sea on Aosta's side. There were some merchant ships and cargo ships there, but because his brother Osdu imposed heavy tariffs and commercial taxes at Mager Wharf, all the merchant ships and cargo ships that came here had to go through the North Sea. Aosta almost wanted to curse him in person. Could it be that his brother was an undercover sent by the enemy country, a traitor who was specifically targeting his own people and sending warmth to the hostile continent?

Osdu made a fortune in a short period of time by heavy taxes. He only cared about short-term immediate benefits and ignored long-term development. Osdu didn't know what this brother was thinking. His subordinates and the staff seemed to be a bunch of good-for-nothings and lazy people. They didn't offer any suggestions or dissuade him.

"Lianna, Belus, you can go to the North Sea to plunder. I have issued you the permits. There is not much contact between the countries in the Northern Continent and our countries in the Western Continent, so you can rob as you like."

"Lord Osta, our fleet and sailors are not as many as those pirate kings in the North Sea. Even if we join forces, we can't win. You are kidding me."

"I'm not kidding. I can provide you with new secret weapons and guarantee that you won't lose to those pirate kings in the North Sea. We can split the income 50-50."

"Lord Osta, do you want us to start a war between the Pirate Kings?"

"Lianna, Belus, the situation where the ten pirate kings are distributed separately has lasted for many years. It's time to change it."

"Lord Osta, if you really provide the new secret weapon you promised, it's not impossible for the two of us to try it out and take a gamble."

Chapter 31: Invitation from the Neighbor Next Door

Pirate Queen Lianna and Belus led their respective pirate fleets to dock at Santa Maria Pier. After the fleets completed the supply, they left. This port is a simple version, still in the primary stage, and not many supporting service facilities have been built yet.

The fleet could not stay here for a long time, and Osta planned to provide the fleets of the two pirate queens with new weapons. However, before that, some necessary materials were needed, so they had to go back and collect them. Osta had not yet fully mastered its own territory, and could not gather the necessary materials locally, so it had to rely on overseas for the time being.

The pirates' fleet brought a large number of agricultural production tools and food. After getting the agricultural tools, Osta asked Gonias to find Rosie and taught the lolita female chief how to use the agricultural tools in person, and asked her to go back and promote it to the tribe members. These female chiefs were quick to learn and easily learned how to use the agricultural tools.

"My Lord, the primitive tribes living on the nameless island are tribes affiliated with the power of the Lonosbil people. My words are useless to them."

"Goneias, don't worry about this issue for now. If they don't provoke us, the worst that can happen is that we won't bother each other."

Several islands near Marianas Beach are inhabited by the Holy Ruins Elf Tribe of the Lonosbil people. The name of the tribe refers to the attributes of the female leader, not that the entire tribe is elven. When the fleet of the pirate queens passed by the island, the primitive tribe did not make any provocative moves, so Osta ignored them. For the time being, there was a sea between the two sides, and it was unlikely that there would be any border conflict.

Osta couldn't attack the island now. He didn't have any ships. It would be a very uneconomical strategy to ask the pirate queens Lianna and Belus to help him attack. The total number of pirates under these two pirate queens was more than 15,000, and each pirate ship could carry about 50 people.

According to the information provided by the White Witch Gonias, the total number of the Holy Ruins Elf Tribe on the island is about 30,000, more than twice the number of the pirates. The female chieftain has elven blood and is said to be one of the top magicians. Magicians have too much advantage in defensive battles. The foreign reinforcements on the side of Osta are pirate corps, and the land combat capabilities of pirates are not as good as those of pirates. Once they land on the island, they basically cannot defeat the members of the primitive tribal clans on the island, and they will most likely pay a heavy price in casualties. Even if they win, it will be a miserable victory, and the possibility of defeat is even greater. The winning rate is too low.

Among the ten pirate kings, no pirate king has been able to conquer an island by relying on his pirates alone. He must cooperate with the pirates to have a chance of winning. Osta did not force others to do things against him. The Holy Ruins Elf Tribe has not made any hostile provocations so far. They did not launch a night attack like the previous treasure tribe. If they took the initiative to attack, Osta would not care about them.

Under Osta's arrangement, his three primitive tribes had clear division of labor. The underground tribe continued to engage in the planting industry and began to plant potatoes on a large scale. The Gemini tribe was responsible for food collection. After Osta personally taught the production and use of fishing nets, the fishing efficiency of the tribe members was greatly improved. In addition, with the development of coconut trees on the coastal beaches, the food collection of this tribe directly increased several times. The Treasure Tribe was responsible for logging and stone collection in the Mikurust Mountains. The trees in the Central Continent grew very fast, so there was no need to worry about the trees being cut down.

The pirate fleets brought advanced iron farm tools, which greatly improved the tribe's production capacity. However, Aosta was not satisfied with overseas transportation. After all, Belus and Lianna were just pirates, and their main activities were still pirates. It was impossible for them to use merchant ships or cargo ships to transport goods every day like merchants.

If we are blocked by the sea someday, it will be troublesome. Moreover, there are many undeveloped minerals underground in the Central Continent, including copper and iron mines, which can be mined and smelted independently.

With her special ability, Rosie dug several caves underground for exploration, and she soon brought good news to Osta. Dozens of copper, iron, silver and gold mines with astonishing reserves have been discovered underground in the Bloomfield area. The members of the primitive tribal clan generally did not know what these minerals were used for, resulting in this huge wealth being buried underground for many years, sleeping quietly until the arrival of Osta, the lord who knew the goods.

The human race in this alien world has no mining industry. Minerals such as iron ore and copper ore are all imported from the alien continent. The dwarves have always controlled the mining industry. They make a lot of profits from the human continents every year by trading in ore and weapons. To be honest, Osta is a little jealous. He didn't become the lord at the beginning and had no real power. Now it's different. Blomfield Territory is his fiefdom, his own territory. He can develop it however he wants, and outsiders can't control it at all.

"Brother Lord, are these stones you asked me to dig up really treasures? They don't look like they can be eaten!"

"Sister Luo Xi, of course it's a treasure. We are just short of craftsmen now."

Luo Xi had a puzzled expression on her face. She really couldn't imagine that the stones that Osta asked her to dig up as samples would actually be valuable treasures. Osta didn't explain much. This little girl had never seen iron objects before, so it would be better to explain after they were cast.

The problem of craftsmen needs to be solved now. There is no shortage of manpower for mining, and the labor force of primitive tribes can be deployed at will. As long as the female chief gives the order, there is no need to pay any compensation.

On several human continents, each country has strict control over the outflow of talent. Due to years of war, craftsmen are prohibited from leaving their place of residence at will. The rulers are worried that the craftsmen will be used by enemy countries, so they strictly restrict the freedom of craftsmen.

Especially those who can forge weapons, such as blacksmiths, are the key targets of monitoring. Not to mention going abroad, it is difficult for them to even leave their place of residence or the town where they live. They have to report their whereabouts to the local lord at all times. If they fail to report in time, they may be executed for treason.

If Osta wanted to find a blacksmith, there was no way to get one from the Western Continent, although with his status, he could ask Queen Margaret III to send more blacksmiths. However, Osta did not want his father, Emperor Augustus VIII, to know what he was doing. His father was fully committed to training the eldest son, Prince Osed, so Osta had to be on guard. He always felt that his father would set a trap for him and secretly block the development of his territory.

"Lord Aosta, dinner is ready, please enjoy it."

"Chris, that's great! You've learned how to cook in such a short time."

"This is all thanks to your good teaching, sir. I am just learning. There is nothing worthy of your praise."

Osta worked in a temporary cabin by the sea, enjoying delicious seafood while working. After being taught the cooking method, his maid Chris quickly mastered the correct cooking method of seafood. Although the current Bloomfield area is still in the primitive civilization period and the living conditions are very difficult, this does not affect Osta's pursuit of enjoyment in life.

Chris brought the cooked seafood to the table, which was a plate of delicious cooked crabs. Yulia, the veteran killer maid, sat on the side and helped Osta peel the crab shells, take out the delicious crab meat inside and put it on a small plate on the side. Osta didn't even have to do it himself.

Sophia was sitting on the other side, processing coconuts, pouring out the coconut juice, and providing the master with delicious juice. The white witch Gonias stood behind Osta, massaging the lord's shoulders with her slender hands. Several beautiful maids were wearing Gothic maid outfits, which looked very pleasing to the eye.

Except for a few maids, the female chiefs were not present. Rosie had returned to the tribe to busy herself. Sisters Clena and Claya, as well as Mira were all in their own tribes, and according to the construction drawings given by Osta, they began to plan the construction of towns in their own territories.
