"That's right." Gavin nodded, then shook his head and said, "This is also an expedient measure. In the spring bud forest collection mode, the food obtained is also limited. If you want to fundamentally solve this problem, you have to be self-sufficient. , but there is less land suitable for farming in rocky land, which is limited by the terrain and is relatively scattered. However, intensive farming can still solve most of the needs. However, kobolds are good at mining and really have no talent in farming. " At the end of the sentence, Gavin showed a wry smile, "The first batch of food we planted was to dig a hole in the soil and bury the seeds in it. It grows wild. I have no idea how much we can harvest." Virginia listened thoughtfully. She had more or less followed Gavin's train of thought. The other party should be targeting the fairies in Spring Bud Forest, especially the Pixies, who are natural druids. There is no other race like them. They are more suitable for farming. As expected, Gavin changed the topic and said: "So, I thought of a win-win method of cooperation. I would like to ask the lord to allow me to recruit the fey tribe in the Spring Bud Forest to help me open up wasteland and farm in the rocky land. And I I am willing to send a kobold construction team to serve at Chunya Castle. Whether it is building a castle in the valley outside the curtain, or building an underground defensive outpost in this ancient dragon's lair, it all depends on the Lord's orders." Lord Virginia's eyes flickered slightly, and there was a look of consideration on his smooth and flawless face. He replied word for word: "Your cooperation model is quite unique. I have never heard of it before. It really makes up for each other's weaknesses. If done correctly, both of us can benefit. But the situation in our two territories is different. You have absolute control over the kobold tribe. I don't have that in Spring Bud Forest. Although the spirits in Spring Bud Forest are loyal to me, it's all out of respect. I can summon them during war to fight for Spring Bud Castle and Spring Bud Forest. Outside of wartime, I cannot force them to leave their familiar home and go to an unfamiliar environment to serve an unfamiliar lord. " Gavin knew that the other party was not lying. This was determined by the loose political system unique to the elves. He nodded and said: "So, I did not ask the lord to send someone to me, but gave me the corresponding recruitment rights. I myself Go to their tribe and recruit volunteers. I believe there will always be some who are willing to change and go out to create a new life.”
In this matter, Gavin is somewhat confident. Milestones of Destiny and Fairy Wilderness Contracts have greatly enhanced the goodwill of the fairies towards me. This is the best start. Worst of all, there is Nectar Village. With that mandatory respect and favorability level, it can recruit 180 Pixies. "I can give you the right to recruit, but there is a condition." "Please tell me." "The prerequisite for recruitment is freedom of coming and going. Those fairies follow you out of their own free will. If they are unwilling to continue following you, they must be released back to Chunya Forest." "Even if the lord doesn't say anything, this is the premise that I must abide by. There will never be any slavery situation. If there is one, you will settle the score with me." Most fey nature advocates freedom, especially the fey in the wilderness. This nature is deeply rooted in the bone marrow. When Gavin came up with the idea of hiring them, he was already mentally prepared. Simply promising them huge profits may not work well, and other shortcuts must be found. "Strina will help me keep an eye on you in this matter." Lord Virginia kindly reminded, "All felines are loose in nature. If you want them to help you plant crops according to your method, I'm afraid it's not that simple, and I have to be prepared to not hire many people. My Chunya Castle is just like their playground. Many people can't stay there for only three to five days a month. " Gavin said with some disapproval: "It all depends on man-made things. As long as there is a way, we can find a balance. This is how we have decided on this matter." "Okay." Looking at the other party's expression, Lord Virginia knew that the other party didn't listen at all. No matter how much he said about this kind of thing, it was useless. Only he had encountered it himself, and he knew how difficult these little guys were. , during this period, Stelina must keep an eye on this matter to prevent good things from turning into bad things. "There is another matter that requires the lord's approval." Gavin pointed to the outside and said, "You have also seen the situation outside. The dragon scale oak tree has special significance for both Ivinsa and the kobolds. , Especially the kobolds, once they can be recognized by the dragon scale oak and get the dragon transformation template, their strength will be greatly improved. I want to make this place a holy place for our tribe. " "Make it a holy land for kobolds?" Lord Virginia suddenly frowned. Since it is a holy land, kobolds must come as pilgrims. The number is not that small. If there were hundreds of kobolds every day, rushing through the curtain and through the Spring Bud Forest. Just thinking about it gave Virginia, who likes silence and dislikes movement, a headache. In that case, Chunya Forest would become a vegetable market, without any peace. However, the Virginia lord was very aware of the special characteristics of dragon scale oak towards dragon creatures, and if he forcibly vetoed it, he would be afraid of casting a shadow on the newly concluded alliance.
What's more, turning the Dragon Scale Oak into a sacred place for kobolds will not be of any benefit to the Spring Bud Forest - they will spare no effort to protect the Dragon Scale Oak, including removing another corruption of the Dragon Scale Oak. Especially the dark area found under the dragon scale oak tree. The two-front battle on the ground has already strained Chunya Fort's troops. Coupled with the line below the Dragon Scale Oak, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be thorough. Is it possible to take the opportunity to directly leave the defense task of Dragon Scale Oak to the kobolds led by Gavin, and Chunya Castle can only send a small number of eladrin warriors to garrison here? Gavin's heart rose and fell as Lord Virginia's expression changed. Strange to say. The Virginia lord was not the type to be overjoyed. At least before, it was difficult for Gavin to read the emotional changes on her face and eyes. After the previous soul fusion, the two seemed to have established some kind of wonderful and mysterious connection. They were very sensitive to her emotional changes, and even felt her thoughts vaguely. In addition, the expression on their faces The micro-expressions revealed unintentionally can make you understand a person's thoughts. As for whether this is a two-way street, Gavin isn't too worried. The other party is a master of prophecy, and his ideas can easily be manipulated by the other party. Now that I am not so passive, no matter how I look at it, I am making more money. Just when Gavin was obsessed with speculating on Virginia's thoughts, the other party suddenly raised his head, as if he had made a decision and said: "I have no objection to making the Dragon Scale Oak into a sacred place for dragon creatures, but it cannot be done through this method." Going back and forth is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it will also disturb the tranquility of the Chunya Forest. There is no guarantee that these kobolds will not destroy the forest and conflict with the local fey residents on their way to pilgrimage." "This is also something I'm worried about." Gavin nodded, then looked at Virginia with an expectant look, "Does the Lord have any good solutions?" In comparison, the use of magic in the Fairy Wilderness is obviously at a higher level. For many things, the first thing that comes to mind is magic. In comparison, the kobold tribe I run is still far behind. Gavin just had the attitude of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, Lord Virginia actually nodded and said: "I have a dragon scale oak seed in my hand, which can be planted in the material plane to guide the connection with the dragon scale oak tree." , opening a permanent two-way portal directly to the Dragonscale Oak." "Permanent two-way portal? Ha!" Gavin's eyes brightened. This is a good thing. How much travel will be saved in the future when entering and exiting Dragonscale Oak? The most important point is that one of Gavin's destiny milestones is the Dragon Scale Oak's flawless teleportation technique. Previously, he was still thinking that this skill could only be used to save his life at critical moments. It would be too troublesome to take a detour through Chunya Fort every time. If you have one, you can have a two-way portal directly from the Dragon Scale Oak to your own territory. Dragonscale Oak's flawless teleportation spell will have a new purpose - return to the city. "Don't be too happy, I have conditions." "Please tell me." Gavin said with a matter-of-fact expression. If there were no conditions, he would be worried. In this world, a free lunch is the most expensive to eat. "I don't care where the other side of the portal is located, but in Chunya Forest, it can only be located here. In this dragon's nest, there are no special circumstances. Kobolds are only allowed to move here and are strictly prohibited from going to the surface. ”
Gavin couldn't help but shuddered when he heard the conditions of Lord Virginia, and secretly praised in his heart that it was really a good plan. This was like throwing a hot potato to Gavin and the kobold tribe. Don't forget the dark area before and the ruined giant that escaped. The useless giant will definitely not give up and may reorganize its troops to come. Blast the entire Underdark area and seal it directly. Gavin would definitely do this if there wasn't another point of contamination. Now I can only keep it for future counterattacks. Once the two-way portal is established here, it will push them to the front line of the war with the degenerate giant in disguise. But the importance of dragonscale oak to the kobolds, and its convenience to them, is huge. Weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Gavin finally nodded and said: "I agree to this condition, but the lord must give me the right to construct and transform this place. It is very likely that this place will become the front line against the ruined giant. I must station a large number of troops here. I promise not to expand the cave above the ground.” "Yes, as long as you have the ability, the territory that expands underground will be yours to rule." The Virginia lords knew that this right must be granted. This was the price for handing over the defense line to them. In this way, they not only have to protect the Dragon Scale Oak, but also their own home, so they naturally do their best. Gavin asked another question of greater concern: "When can we start building the portal? How long will it take?" "You can do it at any time. As long as you choose the place where the portal is to be built on the other side, just notify me to go there." Lord Virginia said a little uncertainly, "This is the first time I have built this kind of portal. , if nothing else happens, it should be very soon.” "Okay, I'll let you know after I choose the location." Gavin glanced at the situation outside and said, "If there are no other problems, I think we should go out." The young copper dragon's element absorption had clearly entered the final stage, and it was about to wake up. Her inner vision was similar to the dragon-hunting state, but it was not, and the absorption speed was far beyond the kobolds' ability to match, and it did not take ten days.
