âHave you heard? A group of foreign adventurers have arrived in our city. The city Lord is personally receiving them!â
One of the soldiers standing at the city gate said to the people around him.
âReally? Who Did you hear it from?âA group of soldiers at the side suddenly became interested, these days, the news about foreign adventurers had become a hot topic. Unlike the fear in the hearts of the ordinary residents, the soldiers were more curious and expectant.
Now that they had encountered a great disaster, they were equivalent to the survivors of the last days of the apocalypse. In their hearts, they were more eager for their compatriots to survive in other places. After all⊠No one would really wish for the end of the world to come.
âWhen I went to bring you guys dinner just now, I heard people talking about it. They said that the foreign adventurers would meet with the castellan publicly and allow everyone to watch. If you have any questions, you can ask them in person!â
âWhat the F * ck?âThe soldier next to him was excited at first, then, he said doubtfully, âThatâs not right. Iâve been on duty here since early morning. How come I donât know about the Outsiders? which gate did they come in from?â
There were only two gates in Gondorin. Now, they were at the gate facing the empire. It was rumored that the adventurers were from a human force. They couldnât have come from the Blackstone Plains, right?
âI heard that our Lord Mage has developed a magic passage that connects to other cities. The foreign adventurers came through there!â
âThereâs such a Thing?âThe soldier was instantly excited. His face was filled with surprise, but he didnât doubt it in his heart. After all, the mages that Lady Isabelle had brought here had already done too many miracles.
Artificial land planting, transporting equipment and food out of thin air, biological modification surgery that brought people back to life, all of these brought new hope to this seemingly crumbling city!
âWhere is it? My shift will be over soon. Iâll go and take a lookâŠâ
âI told you to go and take a look later. Come back and tell us about the situation. The address is said to be in the trial square of the city LordâŠâ
âOK, OK, OK, Iâll go when black bear comes to relieve me! !â
ââââ â
âWelcome, adventurers from afar!âOn the other side of the square, the Sea of people was almost completely surrounded. Both the soldiers on the outside and the residents in the city were very curious about these so-called outsiders, even the orcs joined in the fun.
As a condition for choosing the shops first, little cabbage and the others had to cooperate with the show. At this time, little cabbage and the others were all wearing arcane makeup, and their looks and dressing were very similar to the locals of the steel martial empire.
In order to make it look more realistic, the emperor of liver and the others also did some mutated makeup.
âYou are too kind, my Lord Duke!âLittle cabbage gave a crooked nobleâs bow. The flower spiritâs temperament was very good. Although it had been put on makeup, it was difficult to drown the temperament, which caused little cabbageâs movements to be very unprofessional, however, it gave people a feeling of great poise. Even some of the nobles nodded secretly, thinking that this must be a young lady raised by a high-class noble family.
âLet me introduce to everyone. This is the new heir of Dorunkel in the south, the Young Lady Marquis Kirin. The new food, weapons, and equipment that we, the people of Gondolin, have received this time were all provided by this lord. Let us welcome her with great respectâŠâ. ..
As soon as these words were said, the soldiers and civilians on the field were stunned at first, then burst into thunderous applause and cheers! !
The new food these days had made them completely bid farewell to their previous fear of famine. Moreover, not only did the food solve the problem of food and clothing, but it also made them, the lower class citizens, lucky enough to taste the delicacies of the human world, it felt like any food that was cooked would taste better than the steak of those nobles!
The people at the bottom were relatively simple. Whoever solved their food problem would be the god. Isabelleâs prestige had reached the highest point in history because of that batch of food, now that they knew that the food was provided by the outsider before them, everyone immediately had a good impression of the outsider, cabbage!
However, some of the higher-ups were somewhat puzzled. The southern region had extravagant resources, but they had also never heard of the wondrous agricultural products of Gondolin over there.., they had always thought that those things were developed by the mages. Moreover, there were also those weapons and equipment. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that their workmanship was excellent.., it was not inferior to the epic-level set created by the top dwarven masters at all.
Most of the dwarven craftsmen nowadays were concentrated in the north. They had never heard of such a high-level city in the south. At least, they had never heard of any high-level dwarven master being there, and such a large quantity was obviously not something that one or two dwarven masters could create!
However, these two suspicious points were not what they were concerned about at the moment. They were more concerned about another thing now.
âMy lord, according to what you said, there are still a large number of survivors in the Southern cities like us?â
âYes!â! ! Isabelle nodded. âThe infection in the south is relatively small, and there is enough time to defend against it. Moreover, most of the main army of the Empire has successfully retreated to the south. Cheer everyone, there are still many of our compatriots who survived in every corner. The disaster this time is not that terrible. One day, we will recover the lost land and completely defeat this natural disaster!â! â!â
Even though Isabelle did not look serious, the content of her words was still inspiring. All the citizens cheered!
When the old castellan forces heard that there were other survivor forces, they looked at each other and felt that they could make a move from other aspects. They didnât have to continue fighting with such a powerful womanâŠ
After all, if they could, they didnât want to face Isabelle who was so sharpâŠ
âThen sir⊠since they can come, then⊠then I⊠Can We go to the south?âIn the crowd, a former southern merchant asked excitedly.
After hearing that there were many surviving cities in the south, he was eager to go back and find out if his family was safe. He didnât have any hope in the past, but nowâŠ
âNot NowâŠâIsabelle shook her head.
As soon as she said that, the crowd was stunned. The people who were ready to continue cheering suddenly froze.
Isabelle explained calmly, âThe magic passage is expensive and requires a large number of arcana crystals. Until a low-cost passage is developed, it is not supported by ordinary people for the time being.â
Not Support Ordinary People? Everyone looked at each other and thought, âWhat does the castellan mean?â? âIs this the passage for the nobles to retreat?â?
âSir, who are the people you mean?âA bear soldier asked in a low voice.
âRich people!âIsabelle said straightforwardly, âThis passage only supports people who can provide a lot of arcana crystals for the time being. I Canât do anything about it. After all, our city doesnât produce this kind of thing, and I canât get everyone the chance to go to the south.â
âWellâŠâeveryone looked at each other, the lordâs straightforward explanation made many people feel relieved. At this time, Isabelâs prestige was very high, and there was no one who dared to cause trouble. As long as the explanation was reasonable, no one would cause trouble, but although the explanation was reasonable.., everyone still had an inexplicable sense of grievance, and the enthusiasm they had just felt immediately dissipated.
âBut donât be discouraged, what I said is only temporary!âIsabelle saw that everyoneâs mood was low, she smiled and explained, âThese adults who spent a lot of money to come here are not here to travel, they are here to help us build the Hope Channel!â
Hope Channel?
This word made everyone look at Isabelle, who had turned into a hairy ball, with a hint of anticipation.
âYes, the tunnel of Hope!âIsabelle smiled. âAfter that, other than them, there will be a constant stream of Lords with soldiers. They are here to help explore and clear a tunnel of hope to the south. In this process, we will continue to reclaim the cities of the past and restore the glory of the Empire!â
âClear the passage? ThisâŠâeveryone looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Go Out and face those mutated monsters? Have these Southerners gone crazy? When did they become so courageous?
âOf course⊠I also encourage our soldiers to participate in it!âIsabelle smiled.
Everyoneâs faces twitched when they heard that. Those bear scientists who were usually hot-tempered were all silent at this moment. Obviously, no one present was willing to face those mutated monstersâŠ
Isabelle had already expected this scene, but she was not in a hurry. She knew that the people here did not want to face the mutated creatures. This kind of thing could not be forced, and could only be enticed⊠âŠ
So she continued, âThe lords who are currently here will rent the shops here and provide goods for everyone. For example, this lord will provide fine handmade cloth and clothes that have been tailor-made. This lord will provide fine leather products, as well as some food, salt, sugar, cotton, and other daily necessities that we do not have here. Of course, there will also be some other things. Spices, jewelry, and even some magic items that no one expected will appear. The trade market of our Gondolin will reappear because of the arrival of these Lords!â
Everyoneâs eyes lit up when they heard that. There was a shortage of clothes in the city, and there were not enough quilts. The Salt, sugar, and leather goods were also in short supply. When they heard that the Outsiders would provide them with these.., they immediately became excited.
But then there were doubts. One of the nobles asked curiously, âBut sir, you just said that these are trading goods. What should we use to exchange for them? The gold coins from the past?â
Obviously, the Gondor Forest had lost its trading function. The money from before was basically wasted. Now, food was distributed evenly. Although everyone could eat their fill.., but there was no surplus food to exchange for supplies. How could they trade these foreign goods?
âThis is the purpose of my gathering today!âIsabelle said seriously, âHere, I will announce the Gondor Forestâs CM system from now on. Please Pass on todayâs announcement to your compatriots who are not present. After that, I will also present an announcement to the whole audience!â
The centimeter system?
âYes!âIsabelle said seriously. âFrom now on, everyoneâs participation in farming, clearing forests, and standing guard will not be free. I will reward everyone with a certain centimeter based on their contribution, and these centimeters can be used to trade items. I will outline the details belowâŠâ. ââŠâ
