Lord of the People: Starting from the Goblins

Chapter 37 Earth-shaking changes in the territory (5.5k chapters)

In the area shrouded in thick fog of chaotic color.

Looking down from the sky, this small area is cut off in the middle by a misty passage formed by two isolated walls.

On one side is the yellow loess plain full of wheat, and on the other side is an area shrouded in mist that cannot be seen clearly.

A large number of goblins came in and out of the foggy passage, coming and going in a continuous, extremely lively manner.

Some of them were carrying all kinds of crude farming tools, and some were pulling wagons with some kind of strange large dogs and beasts, transporting food, fruits and some rare commodities.

A four-wheeled wooden vehicle loaded with goods came from the Loess Plain, and after passing through the foggy passage, it was stopped by a five-meter-high gray and white city wall behind the passage.

Below the city wall, at the wide city gate, two big goblin warriors in silver-gray full-body armor stood upright, one left and one right, leaning on maces. One of the big goblin warriors glanced at the driver of the truck. Goblin asked in surprise,
"Nicole, why did you come back so early? I remember you went into town yesterday, didn't you?"

The called Goblin 'Nicole' said happily while pretending to be distressed,

"Isn't the dungeon going to expand? There are more hard laborers in the city. I'll transport more loess wheat and sell it to those bakeries to make more money. That's right, Laws. I heard that your mother-in-law gave birth again." Is it true that I killed four cubs?"

The elder brother Bryn 'Rouse' smiled, and said rather high-spiritedly, "Nicole, isn't your news not bad, what just happened yesterday has reached your ears.

That's right, my mother-in-law gave birth to four cubs yesterday, so she went to the inner city to register early this morning, and then I hurried over to pick up the guards. "

The businessman Nicole narrowed his small eyes, stared at Rouse's strong body with great envy, and said, "That's great, now your merit points have increased by 5 points, Rouse, and it won't be long before you can enter In the inner city, and then evolved into a goblin warrior."

Rolls smiled triumphantly, "That's right, in half a month, I should be able to evolve into a Goblin warrior. By then, I won't be here to guard the city gate. I guess I will enter the inner city and become a lord Your lord's guards."

"I really envy you, unlike us businessmen, even if we earn a lot of money, if we don't contribute enough, we can't ask for evolution at all." The businessman Nicole said sourly.

Just when Rouse wanted to comfort Nicole, the big brother Brin warrior companion on the side said to him, "Okay, Rouse, stop talking, you will be seen by the captain later, and you will inevitably be scolded." .

Nicole, since you are in a hurry to enter the city, you should pay the money and go in quickly. Don't block other residents from entering and exiting here. It will have a bad influence. "

"Foli, you really don't give face to Nicole, there's nothing I can do, we'll talk next time, and I'll find you a drink then!" Rouss said a little dissatisfied, but the captain mentioned by his companion, Foley, obviously made Rouss admit his weakness.

After seeing this, the merchant Nicole gave an apologetic laugh, took out the money bag tied around his waist, took five copper coins from it and threw them into the money box at the city gate, and then drove into the city in a truck pulled by a large dog or beast.

According to the regulations made by the lord, to enter Rubble City, ordinary residents need to pay one copper coin to enter the city, and merchant caravans need to pay five copper coins to enter the city. As for the official goblin warriors, there is no need to pay the entrance fee.

After Nicole drove the dog truck into the city, the cloth curtain of the truck behind was secretly pulled up, and a small green head emerged from it.

Alger looked at the surroundings of the city curiously. The spacious road paved with large neat stones made him stare at it for a long time, but soon the little goblin Alger moved away from the dazzling array of goods in the bustling street shops. line of sight.

Mother Goblin was shouting, selling bright red fruits in front of it, Alger had never seen this kind of fruit.

Uncle Goblin on the side was roasting some kind of meat with fire. While frying, there were also strange and colorful seasonings. The smell of meat mixed with spices entered Alger's nasal cavity, making his saliva almost flow out. .

"Alger, be careful, don't be as sloppy as you are in the village, this is the great gravel city, pay attention to your posture!"

The businessman Nicole turned around and saw his little boy who had never seen the world, and immediately scolded in dissatisfaction.

The truck pulled by the dog and beast walked slowly along the way, and the voice of Nicole admonishing his youngest son Alger was heard one after another on the way, mixed with the bustling commercial street, full of fireworks.

Gravel City, inner city.

It is said to be an inner city, but it is actually more like a castle. The castle covers a small area, only a few hundred acres of land, and there are only three main buildings.

The lord building in the center of the castle, the internal affairs building on the left, and the barracks on the right.

The gate of the gravel inner city castle is much taller than the outer city gate, a full ten meters high.

Under the grand gate of the castle, there are three goblin warriors nearly two meters tall standing on the left and right. These powerful and brave goblin warriors wear more textured black armor than the big goblin warriors at the outer city gate. The sawtooth mace is also pitch black and looks extremely heavy.

It gives people a solemn and solemn feeling.

Occasionally, adult goblin residents bring their newborn baby goblins here for population registration, or goblins and big goblins who have accumulated enough meritorious deeds come here to register evolution records, and these goblin warriors will be in the dark green Feeling frightened under the gaze of the pupils.

This is the gap and suppression of the life class among the same race, which makes the weaker people feel scared instinctively. It is not that these Goblin warriors will bully these weak Goblin residents.

At this moment, the City Lord's Mansion, the back garden.

There is a small pond with an area of ​​one acre in the back garden, and a tall human being stands beside the small pond.

"Xiao Hei, dinner is ready."

Chen Tao stood by the pond and yelled into the pond.

The quiet, dark and deep pond suddenly burst into black bubbles, and then a two-meter-long black-scaled dragon emerged from the center of the pond, happily swam to the edge of the pond, and then wrapped itself around Chen Tao's trouser legs at an extremely fast speed. upper body.

After being entangled, the black-scaled flood dragon roared affectionately at its master, licking its tongue full of tiny spikes.

Chen Tao fondled Xiao Hei's smooth scales a few times, and he couldn't put it down.

It wasn't until Xiao Hei yelled at him a few times that Chen Tao reluctantly stopped licking the dragon, muttering in his heart, asking his personal maid to bring the food quickly.

Not long after, led by a beautiful and plump human maid, four female big goblins came in two by two carrying a large bucket of red meat.

"Master, the meat is here."

The black-haired maid with an extremely beautiful face and a plump figure that was quite attractive stepped forward and bowed respectfully to greet her.

Chen Tao nodded to her calmly, indicating that the feeding can start, and at the same time patted Xiao Hei who was wrapped around his body.

Xiao Hei was impatient for a long time. After getting off Chen Tao's body, his body suddenly swelled, from a small dragon more than two meters long to a giant of more than 20 meters.

Everyone's vision instantly became dim.

The deep dragon scales that are so dark that they can swallow light, and the hideous bone spurs on the dragon's head, are like a crown, domineering and noble.

Xiao Hei stretched out his dragon head, which was bigger than a human, and opened his bloody mouth, waiting to be fed.

Even though Longwei had been subdued, these female big brother Brin who came to feed were still a little nervous.

The four female big goblins took turns to pick up pieces of red meat with a size of at least ten kilograms from the big wooden barrel, and quickly threw them into the open mouth of the little black dragon.

When enough food was thrown in, Xiao Hei closed the dragon's mouth and began to chew contentedly.

After repeating this several times, Chen Tao, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but had a headache and said, "Okay, Xiao Hei, stop playing, and just turn these meat into black water essence to absorb."

Hearing the master's words, Xiao Hei turned the huge dragon's head aside arrogantly.

Seeing this, Chen Tao secretly sighed, a little helpless.

Xiao Hei, that is, the black water dragon hatched from the black water dragon egg that was drawn a year ago, in order to hatch such an awesome mount pet, he also bought a special animal named 'Wang Nu' in the lord's store. 'Dogs and beasts are bred wantonly in the territory.

Wang Nu is an omnivorous scaled crocodile dog that likes to be close to intelligent humanoid creatures. An adult Wang Nu is several times larger than an ordinary tiger.

They are large in size, gentle in character, easy to raise, fast growing, delicious in meat, and extremely nutritious. And because they like to be close to humanoid creatures, they can also be used as coolies for pulling trucks.

If it weren't for their slow movement, much slower than that of a carriage, they would be perfect tool beasts.

It is this kind of crocodile that is now used to pull trucks in the territory.

And Xiao Hei's main food is this omnivorous scaly crocodile.

It is also thanks to the almost perfect tool beast like Wang Nu that Xiao Hei can be hatched quickly, and has grown from a bronze level when he was just born to a silver level seven in a year.

Now Xiao Hei is the strongest combat power in Chen Tao's hands. Even if it is the green giant, because there is not enough powerful monster meat to eat, its strength has stagnated. Now a year has passed, but it has only broken through from Bronze Level [-] to Bronze Level [-].

The other goblin warriors, big goblins, and ordinary goblins in the territory, even the lord Chen Tao, had little improvement in their individual strength.

The reason why Xiaohei's level can be improved quickly is because of its own natural ability, which can refine the flesh and blood of living beings into the essence of black water, and then absorb it to become powerful.

So it doesn't matter if you don't have enough powerful monsters, as long as you have enough meat, you can always become stronger.

If the quality is not enough, use the quantity to make up for it. This is Xiao Hei.

After comforting Xiao Hei, who had been cultivated into an arrogant character, and letting him eat slowly, Chen Tao returned to the lord's hall.

The goblin 'Ghostfish' who had been waiting in the hall all the time saw Chen Tao's eyes light up, and walked over quickly with short legs.

"My lord, Kisame has something to report to you."

Chen Tao sat down on the huge lord's chaise longue made of animal skins, and said lazily, "Let's talk."

Kisame was the water goblin at the beginning. After the war, in the year that time had passed, Chen Tao fiddled with a lot of things.

For example, Goblin Mage.

Missing materials have never been a problem since the advent of fantasy stores.

However, precious magic crystals are used in the materials needed to evolve a water-type goblin into a goblin mage. This material is not like the magic grass and flower of pain that are needed for the evolution of big goblins and goblin warriors. Planting, magic crystals are precious magic minerals. If the territory does not have them, they can only buy them one by one from the fantasy store.

Over the past year, Chen Tao has understood the preciousness of the points. It is the worst thing to buy magic crystals that cannot sustain the development of the territory. The only way to buy them is to buy Wang Nu that can be bred and magic grass seeds that can be planted. These are the most cost-effective. After having the source, the continuous expenditure of ordinary resources will produce continuous output.

Therefore, Chen Tao only bought a little magic crystal, just to test the strength and potential of various types of goblin mages.

Water-type, fire-type, earth-type, ice-type and other types of goblin mages were also born in the territory, but the number was small and the combat effectiveness was not formed.

The current strength of the territory is mainly in the goblin warriors.

During the year when the territory was isolated from the outside world, Chen Tao vigorously encouraged the big goblins under his command to give birth. Originally, the goblin race was extremely fertile, and the super rice, loess wheat, and crypts produced by the territory were extremely high-yield. For food such as fluorescent mushrooms and water-fed algae, the food problem is not very big, and the supply is completely sufficient in the early stage.

Moreover, the territory can double the breeding speed, and the red grass, a food that can speed up the growth of young goblins, can be said to be an explosive growth in the population of the gravel goblin tribe!
At first, there were only about 200 big goblins, and after a while, a total of about 150 female big goblins gave birth to nearly [-] goblin cubs.

However, among these goblin cubs, there are only [-] big goblin cubs, and the rest are ordinary goblins with degenerated blood.

But compared to the big goblins whose fertility has been weakened a lot, the fertility of these ordinary goblins is even more outrageous.

Under the sufficient supply of food and scarlet weed, it only took [-] days for these newly born goblins to become adults, and then according to Chen Tao's request, the second round of the plan to make young goblins began. .

The number of goblins born in the second round reached a terrifying 6000. Of course, these little goblins were the most common goblins.

Then these more than 6000 little goblins only took [-] days to become adults.
However, this time, the third round of breeding was not carried out immediately, because the food of the territorial race could no longer keep up with the goblin's rapid birth rate, so it needed to be postponed for a while.

And this period of time is also a time for great changes in the territory.

A total of more than 7000 goblins and big goblins frantically cultivated and planted food such as super rice, loess wheat, and aquatic algae in this small area of ​​only two square kilometers.

Then spread out to build goblin villages, houses, and now a small city of less than one square kilometer in this misty passage.

But soon, Chen Tao, as the lord, found that his small territory could accommodate more than 7000 goblins.

After thinking hard, Chen Tao came up with the idea of ​​building a dungeon.

After finding suitable reinforcement materials for the dungeon in the fantasy store, this idea was quickly implemented. In the next half a year, most of the labor force in the territory was invested in it.

The underground city was built at the junction of the Loess Plain and the Misty Passage, hundreds of meters underground, and then gradually expanded from this base point.

During this period, the third round of the Goblin birth plan was also implemented.

The number of goblins born this time has reached nearly [-].

However, the food in the territory was obviously not enough for the [-] newly born goblins to eat freely. As the lord, Chen Tao had no choice but to implement the elite policy.

The so-called elite policy is to give priority to the supply of big goblin cubs and stronger ordinary goblin cubs, so that they can quickly pass through adulthood, and then put them into the dungeon construction project.

And those goblin cubs with weaker physiques were not directly abandoned, but the food supply was extremely small, barely enough to survive.

However, with the gradual opening of the dungeon, the area of ​​the territory has increased a lot in the vertical plane. After a large number of unpalatable but extremely fast-growing crypt fluorescent mushrooms have been planted, the third batch of goblin cubs are also gradually freed from hunger. state, slowly entering adulthood.

Now, that is, one year later, there are only three days left before the end of time.

The territory has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The first level of the dungeon is also basically completed. Not long ago, Chen Tao ordered to continue to expand the dungeon deeper, in an attempt to build a second level of the dungeon.

While listening to Guixie's report on the big and small matters in the territory, Chen Tao was also recalling the changes in the territory over the past year.

"Ghost, how many goblins are there now?" Chen Tao asked suddenly.

Kisame was taken aback, and quickly took out a notebook made of rough straw paper from his arms, opened it and looked at it, and quickly reported,

"As of yesterday, the total number of recorded goblins in our territory has reached 320, of which 5000 are ordinary goblins, and [-], [-] are big goblins. , fifty goblin warriors, thirty goblin mages."

Chen Tao frowned slightly, feeling a little helpless.

Even if he had the ability to cheat by seeing the evolution route, he would not be able to evolve every goblin. This is impossible.

For example, the black iron-level monster flesh and magic grass that goblins need to evolve into big goblins, although both of them have been bred and planted, but the quantity is there, and only a part of goblins can be supplied for evolution, let alone small ones. Hei is a carnivorous dragon with a big stomach.

This is why he launched the merit system. If the merit is not enough, he will not be given evolution. If the merit is enough, he can go to the gravel castle to complete the next stage of evolution.

The materials needed to evolve from a big goblin to a goblin warrior are even more advanced. The flesh and blood of a large number of bronze-level monsters plus the flower of pain, the former can only be cultivated in a small amount, while the latter has a high demand for cultivation and requires a large amount of blood And the resentment, evil thoughts and negative emotions of the death of monsters can be watered to grow and mature.

Therefore, in one year, the number of goblin warriors has changed from nine to fifty.

In fact, even if you spend points in the store to buy bronze-level monsters, you can't buy much, and it's impossible for Chen Tao to spend points on them for the time being.

Although Chen Tao also sold the products of the territory this year to get some points, but in the fantasy store, ordinary food, as long as it is not grain seeds, will not sell much points. Other lords are not fools and can buy Why do you need to spend a lot of points to buy mature grain when you come back to grow the grain?
No one thinks how good their points are!

Ordinary food has no way out, and the weapons themselves are not enough. After all, Tie Jiu did not enter the war with him, and he would lose a lot if he sold ore raw materials. Under various circumstances, the points he could get were not many.

In fact, Chen Tao also thought about selling evolution plans to make money, but the fantasy store does not certify such illusory items, and others cannot confirm them. In addition, the evolution plans he sells are extremely expensive, and most of them are evolution plans of some monsters. No one is buying it now.

It may be possible to sell cabbage at a cheap price, but what are those points worth?Are you thinking of selling evolution plans in large quantities?Small profits but quick turnover?

This high probability will only cause other lords who bought this plan to follow suit, and it may also expose Chen Tao's ability, which is completely worth the loss.

This so-called store transaction is more like an item trading platform. The lords can't even communicate in it, they can only upload items to each other, and then choose by themselves.

Referred to as dumb transactions.
