Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 237 The Temptation of Medusa
Although the two parties have reached a cooperation, the matter is not over, but has just begun, because the complexity of the matter is beyond Owen's imagination. Before that, he never thought that the situation in Yougu Town or the mountains would be so special.

Due to the high terrain and cold climate, the mountains are not rich in products. Even if they learn how to cultivate terraced fields, it is difficult to meet the demand. Therefore, the beast demihumans who hide in the mountains have to be dispersed in groups, forming tens of hundreds of people. Small groups live by hunting and gathering.

This caused each small tribe to be very closed, and it was too difficult to gather them together.

First of all, they would not be willing to fight for the lizardmen, and secondly, fighting a war would consume the tribe's adult population, and these adult populations were the foundation of the tribe's existence, adding to the trouble.

Although the speed and scale of Yougu Town's development completely exceeded the limits of the mountains due to the existence of the teleportation array, the interior was still dominated by small groups of people, so even as the mayor of the town, he didn't have much power.

For example, Meiya was able to become the mayor of the town because she was strong enough. As for management, there was no management at all. The whole town was completely free to operate. If it hadn’t been affected by outsiders all the year round, it would have been chaotic instead of become rich and prosperous.

In this case, the only thing Meiya can do is to collect taxes, and then get rid of the bastards who dare to spy on Yougu Town.

Owen was speechless. He thought that his management of the territory was invincible, but he didn't expect Meiya to be more fierce than him, so he directly regarded himself as a protection fee.

In fact, Meiya is also very helpless about this. It's not that she doesn't want to manage Yougu Town, but she can't manage it. Her strength allows her to occupy the post of mayor and collect high taxes. Maybe she managed the affairs of the town, and couldn't even form an army. In other words, she didn't integrate into the town at all.

In fact, Owen is also very troubled by this. Meiya lacks enough appeal to integrate the power of Yougu Town, let alone the beast tribes scattered in the mountains.

In desperation, Owen decided to start from the small town first and form a small-scale army to show the face, but after a thorough investigation, he almost wanted to let go.

Beast demihumans are far stronger and sharper than humans. Even after catgirls and bunny girls have reached the level of ordinary people, they also have the strength to turn over several strong men with an empty handcart. Not to mention catgirls who are disfigured by raising their hands, even if they look good The bullying bunny girl, thanks to the developed lower body strength of the rabbit, can kick a strong man weighing two hundred catties seven or eight meters away with one kick. Those with a slightly weaker physique can prepare for the banquet, and those who are lighter will have to break a rib. This shows how rich the body capital of the beast demihumans is.

The problem is that they rely too much on physical advantages, resulting in beast demihumans not being good at using tools and weapons.

Yougu Town is alright. Under the influence of outsiders, it already has a foundation of civilization. The other beast tribes in the mountains are not good. Even in these small tribes, iron tools are rarely seen, and wooden sticks and stone axes are obviously not as good as the original minions. use.

Not to mention the issue of discipline, it is easier to make the wild beast demihumans go all out, let them learn discipline and know how to obey orders, it is easier to kill them.

The stronger the beast demihumans, the more so, which made Owen's idea of ​​forming an army deadlocked from the very beginning.

Soon Owen understood that the beast demihumans were more suitable to be used as surprise soldiers or special forces, rather than large-scale battles.

Maya on the side reacted faster than Owen. After frowning, she gave a revised version of the preliminary plan.

Before preparing to fight steadily, first form an army, establish a base area, and then discuss cooperation with the Shanmu clan.

Now it can only be reversed, first dealing with the Shanmu clan as an arms dealer, and then slowly integrating the beast sub-human tribes in the mountains.

The change of plan reduced the importance of Yougu Town to a level. After realizing this, Meiya hesitated for a moment, and then proposed a new deal.

Now Meiya finds that she can't do anything without manpower, so she wants to hire some manpower from Owen.

Meiya intends to hire some foreign adventurers, and some residents of Yougu Town, together with the manpower hired from Owen, barely builds a team, so that she won't just be a bystander in the next changes.

Owen is very interested in this. After all, he is not afraid of being bribed and betrayed by his subordinates. Therefore, the more Mei Ya hires, the more benefits he will get. Therefore, he changed his mind and took out a unit that the other party could not refuse, the Gorgon .

The four monsters in the dungeon have different advancements, among which the advancement of the poisonous snake includes the Gorgon, and even the stronger Medusa.

Sure enough, after seeing someone from the same race, Meiya decided to hire him without even thinking about it, because she was confident that she would truly accept him as her team member.

However, the Gorgon hired by Meiya needs Owen to spend progress points to exchange, and it is not cheap, so ordinary gold and silver will not work, it must be rare resources such as mithril and fine gold.

Meiya didn't care about this, and waved her hand proudly, and first came to ten inspections.

This move made Maya's eyes light up, and she reassessed the wealth contained in the mountains.

In fact, this is normal. The mountains lack food, but never lack resources.

The continuous mountains contain countless high-quality wood and minerals, including gold, silver, gems, crystals, sulfur, saltpeter, and precious magic crystals, mithril and fine gold. The mountains are quite large. of mineral veins.

This place is worth occupying. Maya's eyes lit up and she kept calculating, while Owen nodded in satisfaction after checking the quality of mithril and pure gold.

"Common minerals such as gold and silver can be exchanged for supplies. As for mithril and fine gold, in addition to hiring Gorgons, you can also choose some of them to exchange." Owen wrote a new list to Meiya, and took out some Samples, because mithril and fine gold are not measurable by ordinary materials, he will not deceive the other party in this regard.

"I want blood potion!" Meiya immediately took a fancy to the bottle of emerald green potion, because her blood was sending out a signal of desire, and she couldn't wait any longer.

"Yes, there are primary and advanced blood potions, and there are even perfect potions that can make you a Medusa." Although Owen's tone was flat, it was full of temptation for Meiya.

Just like the relationship between the nine-tailed fox and the vixen, Medusa and the Gorgon also have a huge class gap, not in strength, but in the evolution of life levels, so no Gorgon can resist becoming Medus Sha's temptation is just like how few fox demons don't want to be Daji.

Meiya instinctively sensed that she was about to fall into the other party's trap, but this was a conspiracy. As long as she couldn't resist the temptation to become Medusa, she would inevitably fall into the trap.

The key point is that the bottle of blood potion in front of him and Maya are not fake, which further proves that what Owen said is true.
