Chapter 66: What is a lord

The planting of seeds was much faster than expected.

Just when it was about to get dark, Lin You had already received the news that the planting had been completed.

All of them were planted in the leeward belt outside the city, on a large area of ​​open space specially reclaimed, just enough to block the wind and sand with the city wall.

This made Lin You can't help but sigh, these people are really used to living a hard life, and they are not ambiguous when they work.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Lin You sent the wooden demon dragon to fly over Huangsha City to check the situation of the people.

But unexpectedly found that the city did not have the expected cheers and celebrations, lively snacks.

On the contrary, everyone held a cloth bag in their hands and rushed back to their own homes with joy on their faces.

"Mother, do we have meat to eat?"

On the street, a little girl looked at the burlap bag in the hands of the woman next to her with red cheeks.

The woman's face is yellow and thin, her cheeks are sunken, but her eyes are filled with undisguised joy.

She said softly: "Yes, the lord sent us a lot of meat today, saying that it was a reward for us to cultivate farmland. Tonight, let's take a little out of the broth and drink it, and store the rest as dried meat for later use. eat slowly."

"That's great, I finally have broth to drink!"

The little girl jumped and jumped, jumping for joy.

As if drinking broth was such a happy thing for her.

And similar scenes also happened in every corner of the street at this time, so Lin You couldn't help frowning, and then gradually let go.

These territorial people...

It's really hard to live.

She was not willing to eat all the meat she was given, but she had to save it and eat it slowly.

Fortunately, Xue Changgui said that the meat was a reward he gave to his subjects to reclaim their farmland, presumably to make them feel at ease.

Lin You couldn't help sighing in his heart, and at the same time, an inexplicable emotion emerged.

What is a lord?

A lord is both the master of the territory and the pillar of the territory.

Compared to the past, the many things he is facing now, maybe he can truly be called a "lord".

What's more, he also expects these territorial people to develop and provide him with the power of faith.

Thinking of this, Lin You clicked on the territory information, and found that the power of faith behind the territory level actually increased by 3 points.

It seems that his actions today gave the lords a sense of belonging, and they respected him as a lord in their hearts, and finally increased the power of faith.

No wonder he always felt that his strength seemed to have increased a little.

If this trend continues, maybe it won't be long before he can accumulate enough 500 Faith points to level up.

Turn off the territory information, and then turn on the regional channel.

Because the sky was getting dark, the news on the channel began to increase, and many new lords like him appeared.

"Brothers, ask a question, I've been here for a day, how come the power of belief doesn't increase at all?"

"It's the same with me. I've been assigned a territory of 5,000 people, and it hasn't risen for a day."

"A group of newcomers, the power of faith is not the more people you lead, the faster it grows. Do you understand belief? You have to lead the people to have faith in you!"

"I thought you were playing single-player in Novice Village? Do you know what a lord is? Don't be a lord if you can't even manage the people."

"Haha, don't laugh at these newcomers, they just came here, what can they know?"

"That's right, when I first came here, I didn't feel a little sullen. Now it's their turn for rookies to try it."

"A message of one hundred magic energy, let's leave this chat..."

Sure enough, as Mo Lao said, there are many lords in this principality who arrived earlier than them.

As soon as he saw that new rookie lords had joined, he immediately started making jokes, telling those new lords that they dared not come forward.

However, Lin You also got a very important message from their conversation.

The increase in the power of faith does not depend solely on the number of subjects.

Although the number of subjects will also have an impact, the most important thing is to make them feel a sense of belonging and dependence on the territory.

Just like the people under his command now.

The days were a bit miserable.

But he knows how to be grateful. These three points of faith have already crushed all the new lords.

After watching the regional channel and the world channel for a while, I didn't find any news about the regional blockade.

It's probably not easy to find clues from here.

After all, the culprit wasn't a fool, so how could he publicize such a thing.

In desperation, Lin You had to turn off the channel and do other things first.

After all, I just moved here, and there are still a lot of things to prepare, but it's not the time to watch people chat.

And he was busy until late at night.

......

Early the next morning.

Lin Youtian woke up at dawn.

After simply taking a shower and putting on his coat, he quickly came under the territory.

After a night's accumulation, the Fire Bathing Lotus provided him with more than 300 magical energy.

【Building Name: Bathing Fire Lotus】

【Building Level: Level 6】

[Resource acquisition: 30 mana/hour]

[Introduction: A lotus flower containing magical energy that can grow in any environment, and its level increases with the territory. 】

The fire-bathed lotus that has risen to the sixth level, the magic energy provided per hour has risen to 30 points.

Although a lot, it is still a drop in the bucket for him.

Not even many new buildings could be built.

Like the territorial shield he just discovered.

【Building Name: Territory Shield】

[Architecture introduction: When the territory is attacked, it is automatically turned on to protect the territory. The effect is extremely strong. The higher the territory level, the greater the consumption, and it needs to be recharged. 】

[Charge consumption: (territory level x1000) magic energy/time]

[Construction required: 500 stone, 500 magic powder, 2500 magic energy]

Lin You had been looking forward to this protective cover for a long time.

When he found it in the building list yesterday, he was happy for a long time.

As long as he has this shield, his territory will be much safer.

Don't worry that the attacked territory will be destroyed immediately.

The 6,000 mana required to charge the sixth-order territory is acceptable, after all, it is for emergency use at critical times.

But this magic powder and magic energy stumped him, I don't know where to start So after a simple meal, Lin You called Xu Zhong, the steward next to Xue Changgui, and asked him about the territory things around.

"Lord Lord, do you want to ask where there are monsters and magic powder near us?" Xu Zhong stood in front of Lin You, extremely respectful.

"Yes." Lin You nodded, "You have lived here for so long, you should know something, right?"

"Of course the little one knows that magic powder is sold on those traveling merchants who occasionally pass by here. As for monsters, they can only be found in the depths of the Gobi."

"Any businessmen will pass by here?"

Lin You was a little surprised to hear that.

"Yes, because this is the junction between the Great Wilderness Country and the Fire Country. Sometimes there will be traveling merchants from the Great Wilderness Country who cross the Gobi to do business. Many of our things are bought from the merchants."

"The border between the two countries?"

"Yes, passing through this Gobi is the country of Fire." Xu Zhong replied respectfully, "But I heard that recently because of the turmoil in the depths of the Gobi, no one dared to enter the Gobi. It is estimated that it will take a long time for businessmen to come."

"It turned out to be so."

Lin You suddenly realized.

He didn't expect that after crossing this Gobi, it would be another principality. It seems that this place is quite remote.

But it was also a huge opportunity for him.

If he can open up the trade between the two countries, it will definitely be extremely beneficial to the development of his territory, even more beneficial than those lords who are assigned to rich territories!

But immediately, Lin You suddenly thought of a question and said:

"No, according to what you said, the Gobi is full of monsters. How could those traveling merchants come across?"

"Don't your lord know about cultivators?"
