Lord of the People: My troops have mutated

This made Lin You can't help sighing, these leaders are really used to living a hard life, and they work unambiguously.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Lin You sent the Wood Demon Dragon to fly over Huangsha City to check on the situation of the leaders.

But unexpectedly, the city did not have the imagined cheers and celebrations and lively extra meals.

Instead, everyone held a cloth bag in their hands, and hurried back to their homes cautiously and happily.

"Mom, do we have meat to eat?"

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

The woman's face was yellow and thin, her cheeks were sunken, but there was unconcealable joy in her eyes.

She said softly: "Yes, the lord sent us a lot of meat today, saying that it is a reward for us to cultivate farmland. Tonight, let's take some out to make broth and drink, and the rest will be dried into meat and stored for later. eat slowly."

"Great, I finally have broth to drink!"

The little girl jumped up and down, jumping up and down with joy.

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

At this time, similar scenes also happened in every corner of the street, which made Lin You frown, and then gradually relaxed.

These people...

I'm really used to the hard times.

Even the allocated meat is not willing to eat it all at once, and has to save it and eat it slowly.

Thanks to Xue Changgui, he said that the meat was a reward for the people to reclaim their farmland, probably to give them peace of mind.

Lin You couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and at the same time, a trace of inexplicable emotion emerged.

What is a lord?

The lord is not only the owner of the territory, but also the pillar of the territory.

Compared with the many things he is facing now, perhaps he can truly be called a "lord".

What's more, he still counts on these leaders 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 had increased by 3 points.

It seems that his actions today gave the citizens a sense of belonging and respected him as a lord from the bottom of their hearts, which finally increased the power of faith.

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

If this trend continues, it may not be long before he can accumulate the 500 faith points needed to upgrade.

Turn off the territory information, and then open the regional channel.

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

"Brothers, let me ask you a question. It's been a day since I've been here. How come the power of faith hasn't increased at all?"

"It's the same for me. I was assigned a territory of 5000 people, and it didn't increase after a day."

"For a group of new bumpkins, the power of faith doesn't mean that the more people there are, the faster it grows. Do you understand faith? You need the people to have faith in you!"

"You thought you were playing single player in Novice Village? Do you know what a lord is? If you can't even control the people, don't be a lord."

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

"That's right, I was stumped when I first came here, and now it's the turn of rookies like them to try."

"One message for one hundred mana, let's just chat here..."

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

As soon as they saw new rookie lords joining, they immediately started to make jokes, making those new lords dare not show their heads.

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

The increase in 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 let them have a sense of belonging and dependence on the territory.

Just like the people under him now.

Life is a little bit bitter.

But know how to be grateful, these 3 points of power of faith have 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 may not be easy to find clues from here.

After all, the culprit is not a fool, so how could he make such a big deal out of it.

In desperation, Lin You had no choice but to turn off the channel and do other things first.

After all, I just moved here, and there are still many things to prepare, and this is not the time to watch people chat.

And he was so busy that he was busy until late at night.

……

Early the next morning.

Lin Youtian woke up at dawn.

After simply washing up and putting on his coat, he quickly came to the territory.

After a night of accumulation, the Bathing Fire Lotus provided him with more than 300 mana.

[Building Name: Bathing Fire Lotus]

[Building level: Tier [-]]

[Resource acquisition: 30 mana/hour]

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

The mana provided by the fire-bathed lotus that has been promoted to the sixth level has risen to [-] points per hour.

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

Not even many new buildings can be built.

For example, the territory shield he just discovered.

[Building Name: Territory Shield]

[Building introduction: When the territory is attacked, it will automatically open to protect the territory. The effect is extremely strong. The higher the level of the territory, the greater the consumption, and it needs to be recharged. 】

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

[Construction requirements: 500 stone materials, 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 still happy for a long time.

As long as he has this protective cover, his territory will become much safer.

Don't worry about being attacked and the territory will be destroyed immediately.

The [-] mana required to recharge the sixth-order territory is also acceptable, after all, it is for emergency use at critical times.

But the magic powder and magic energy stumped him, and he didn't know where to start.

So after eating something, Lin You called Xu Zhong, the steward next to Xue Changgui, and asked him about things around the territory.

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

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

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

"Are there any merchants passing by here?"

Lin You was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Yes, because this is the junction of the Great Wilderness Country and the Liuhuo Country. Sometimes there will be traveling merchants from the Great Wilderness Country who come across the Gobi to do business. We buy many things from the merchants."

"The border between the two countries?"

"Yes, passing through this Gobi is the Liuhuo Country." Xu Zhong replied respectfully, "But I heard that due to the turmoil of monsters in the depths of the Gobi recently, no one dares to enter the Gobi. It may take a long time for merchants to come."

"So it is."

Lin You suddenly realized.

He didn't expect that beyond this Gobi would be another principality. It seems that this place is really remote enough.

But this is also a very huge opportunity for him.

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

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

"No, according to what you said, there are monsters everywhere in the Gobi, how did those traveling merchants get across?"

"Don't the lord know about cultivators?"

Chapter 67 Mineral Veins

"Cultivator?" Lin You was stunned, "There are still practitioners in this world?"

"What? Didn't the lord hear about it?" Xu Zhong asked strangely.

"In our Great Wilderness Country, apart from those chosen by the gods like Lord Lord, there are also many ordinary people like us who have lived here since childhood. They gain the power to communicate with the gods through cultivation, and then slowly become Strong, such people are cultivators."

"Of course, there is still a gap between cultivators and the chosen ones like the lord. Not only do they practice very slowly, but they also have no way to summon the servants of the gods like the lord."

At the end, Xu Zhong did not forget to flatter Lin You.

But Lin You didn't pay attention to these.

Instead, he was shocked by the words he said.

Ordinary people here can also practice?

If he guessed correctly, the ordinary people Xu Zhong mentioned should be the natives of the primitive continent.

Then the power of communicating with the gods is to obtain the power of the system.

In other words, these people can also practice and upgrade.

It's just that there is no way to summon territories, recruit troops, and upgrade quickly like their lords.

This is kind of interesting.

It seems that this world is not as simple as he imagined, and it still has its own cultivation system.

But think about it.

As the center of the myriad worlds, the primitive continent is full of monsters, so how could it be possible that they are all just ordinary people?

If he can absorb these talents for his use, then the strength of his territory will definitely become much stronger.

Just a pity.

Because his place is so remote and desolate, he doesn't even have a cultivator leader.

It is estimated that in those larger territories, there will be many practitioners leading the people...

after that.

Lin You asked Xu Zhong some more about the world, and gradually began to have a basic understanding of the environment he was in.

The Great Wilderness Principality where he is now.

It is one of the ten subsidiary principalities under the Shengyao Kingdom.

It is at the edge of the primitive continent.

Because it is located in a desolate and remote place, it is named "Great Wilderness", and it is one of the least powerful principalities among the ten principalities.

In the principality, there are cities all over the place, controlled by various lords, large and small, and they compete fiercely with each other for various resources.

There is even more friction between the principalities.

If you want to survive in this environment, you must constantly improve your strength.

Saying so...
