MC's career as foreign lord

Zhou Ren stopped teasing the little fellow. With his territory authority, he could see the status of all the plants within his territory. Naturally, he had noticed that the earliest planted Tree of Life had quietly developed its own will.

At least, this tree had been diligently helping him grow other trees and nurturing those plants without slacking off. He was quite tolerant of this tree.

"When you grow up, just give me two branches to make a staff!" Zhou Ren patted its trunk before quickly walking back.

He felt he still needed to make some fruit tea. This time, they were lucky that the rotten aura from the bone didn't directly revert a lifeform to its essence, or they wouldn't have had time to save it.

Although he had gained a new elven fighter, it wasn't a healthy state. He really missed the alchemy table at times like these. If he had enough potions, this wouldn't have happened today.

Unfortunately, the materials needed for the alchemy table could only be obtained by going to Hell. The first thing he needed to do was make the life-restoring tea.

Making life-restoring tea was simple. He had ready-made black tea bags, and quite a few of them.

Zhou Ren grabbed the black tea bags, took some sugar from the box, and picked a few lemons before going to brew the tea.

He placed the lemons, sugar, and black tea bags into the tea-making station and poured a full cup of boiling water. He watched as the misty vapor rose, turning into a full cup of lemon tea in the Zisha teapot.

"Have a sip and try it!" Zhou Ren placed the tea in front of Seymore, who was flattered.

"Thank you, Your Excellency…" he said, gently lifting the teacup and taking a sip. The faint marks on his face had quietly disappeared, becoming truly clean and flawless, with the radiance only a young person possesses.

Lemon tea indeed had the effect of restoring vitality. Zhou Ren watched Mosa, who was currently directing the auction. The old lich had entered the zone, his expression calm and collected.

"This time, we are auctioning a pot of green tea that can be preserved for a long time, along with a matching wooden teacup. The starting price is 2000 gold coins!"

The price was indeed interesting. According to Shia's idea, 2000 gold coins was just the price of a cup of tea, but this was an auction, and it was not surprising how high the price would rise.

The legendary powerhouses were wealthy, and they immediately started raising the price as soon as it was announced.

"10,000 gold coins!" The price was directly multiplied by five.

"20,000!" This tea, usable by legendary-level beings, had a very obvious effect.

"50,000!" After only three bids, the hammer fell. The legendary powerhouses looked speechlessly at the girl who made the bid. Princess, what are you doing here?

Shia smiled. "I'm buying it for the Empress. Just this one. You can continue with the rest!"

"Next up are 100 of the elven fruits you just ate, starting at 10,000 gold coins!" Mosa was ruthless enough to raise the price of the elven fruits directly. Clearly, their initial price was 50 gold coins each.

However, these legendaries clearly didn't know the value. Having lived for so many years, even if they didn't have money, they had many precious treasures.

"50,000!" This time, it was a very elegant noble female mage who spoke. She threw a bag of gold coins on the table. "The Riyadon family bids 50,000!"

After she said this, no one competed with her. After all, although it could restore magic power, 500 gold coins per fruit was a bit too extravagant and exceeded their psychological expectations.

The auction continued. Zhou Ren and Mosa were testing the elves' acceptance of their territory's products, while the elves were familiarizing themselves with the level of the items they were auctioning.

This would be an important bargaining chip for both sides in future negotiations. As the saying goes, there are no eternal relationships, only eternal interests. They needed to use mutual benefits to tie each other to their chariots, rather than pushing them to the races outside.

Soon, the auction came to an end. All kinds of treasures and gold coins piled up at the auction site, but the elves were in no mood to look at them, smiling happily with their respective items in hand.

Most of the items auctioned this time were food, various products, and a small amount of special materials. These materials, which seemed ordinary in MC, could unleash many unexpected results.

For example, the bones that Jim had sent them at the beginning. Before Seymore's misfortune, everyone thought it was just a little joke from a skeleton.

But after such a change, they all knew that it was a terrifying tool that could suddenly plunge life into a state of lifespan exhaustion.

Thinking about it, it was really terrifying!

They didn't stay long in their territory. Zhou Ren watched them leave, then found Leah, who was crying like a little kitten, in a corner.

"Waaah… Leah didn't mean to…" The little girl cried so hard she could barely breathe, which made people feel sorry for her, but Shia beside her didn't comfort her.

"Let her cry for a while, or she'll do it again next time!" Shia said, folding her arms beside her.

Zhou Ren waved his hand helplessly. He certainly couldn't interfere in this kind of thing. After all, it was between a master and a disciple, and this kind of education was normal.

What the little girl did today was indeed a bit excessive. If they didn't have materials to reverse it, it would have been equivalent to the loss of a legendary powerhouse.

Beside the little elf, the two little fellows were also like eggplants beaten by frost, listlessly standing on the little girl's left and right shoulders, being reprimanded together.

"Leah, your big brother and I will take responsibility for this time, but next time, you'll have to bear it yourself!" Shia's voice was cold, which made the little girl tremble with fear.

"Alright!" Zhou Ren said, "Let her stay by herself for a while and think about the problem! Let's go plant another Tree of Life!"

He could now very naturally hold the elven princess's hand. Shia's face blushed slightly, but she followed him forward and soon walked out of the territory's boundaries.

"We're going to plant this fourth tree at the border between the elves and the orcs as a temporary protective barrier!" Zhou Ren said.

"Isn't it a bit too risky? If those orcs rush over, a Tree of Life won't be able to completely stop them!" Shia was a little worried.

"But we'll deal with soldiers when they come and dams when there's water!" Zhou Ren waved his hand. Next time, he should have more Tinker's Construct creations and wasn't too worried about these orcs coming over.

This tree planting was also a test. He had only planted Trees of Life in his own territory. As for outside the territory, he had never tried it.

If his territory authority hadn't expanded to the entire Northwind Wasteland, he wouldn't have even considered trying it.

The elves had failed to keep the Tree of Life alive after planting it for thousands of years. Why did he think these trees could successfully survive after leaving his permissions?

Things were different now, after all, he had the power to solidify items from MC throughout the entire wasteland.

This meant that as long as the Trees of Life were distributed reasonably, he could even plant them all over the wasteland, forming a very dense wall of Trees of Life.

Unfortunately, things didn't quite go as wonderfully as he imagined. After planting the large melon seed, even with bone meal, nothing happened.

"It seems the experiment failed!" Zhou Ren wasn't discouraged, as it was within expectations. It seemed that the growth of the Tree of Life was not only related to nutrients in the soil but also to other factors.

He had a hunch that if he could decipher this relationship, then… the mystery of the Tree of Life that had plagued the elves for thousands of years might come to an end!

Just as he was pondering a solution, O'Hare gradually approached from a distance, accompanied by High Priest Sede.

"Lord Zhou Ren, are you ready?"

Zhou Ren was taken aback, "Ready for what?"

"Of course, to take over Pine Leaf Town!" O'Hare said, "Most of the area in the town has been cleaned up, you can go and take over!"

Zhou Ren waved his hand, "There's no need for that. It's better to keep the town as it is. Turn it into a mercenary camp or your garrison. I'm not going to take over!"

The newest and most complete novels are at Six/Nine/Book/Bar/First/Publish!

This town was a big trouble, full of aristocratic properties. Zhou Ren wasn't going to get involved. Anyway, no newcomers would come in the next two months, so he'll just drag it on!

After two months, those merchants and nobles who wanted to reclaim their properties would definitely find their own ways!

Before O'Hare could finish speaking, Zhou Ren had already left. He was very busy. After the auction ended, he knew the approximate prices, so his monetary control should begin.

"Bishop Sede, where does your Church of Wealth plan to be stationed?" Zhou Ren asked. This was related to future policy trends, so he had to care.

"Lord, please rest assured, we have bought the area behind your territory, and it will become the new wealth center of the continent!" Sede said.

As a member of the Church of Wealth, they had this confidence.

"Okay!" Zhou Ren nodded, "Come with me, I have some gold coins and mithril coins to give you as circulation and initial use for your church."

This was also a well-thought-out matter. Cooperation between the Church of Wealth and him was inevitable, and these coins were his sincerity.

"Now, you can try to promote this currency in transactions!" he said, "Just as a superior alternative to ordinary gold coins!"

Starting from currency transactions, gradually changing the thinking of these traders was actually a necessary part of finance.

Only by getting them used to using this kind of gold coin for transactions could it be truly promoted to the entire continent. This was actually the same as those so-called online auctions.

At first, various discounts or special care were used to make everyone use their own currency, and once everyone couldn't live without this currency transaction, it was time to start harvesting.

"Oh? That's great!" Sede was very excited. Starting the plan in advance meant that their Church of the Wealth Goddess had an increased chance of reigning over the continent. This was a great thing!

The two left directly. There were some things they couldn't easily say to the elves. This group of long-eared people hadn't even figured out the concepts of economics and finance, so at most they were participants, not executors.

O'Hare stared at the departing two with a somewhat strange expression. He always felt that he had missed a great opportunity for the rise of the elves, but if he really had to go and discuss economic matters with these two guys, he wouldn't know anything about it.

"Forget it, anyway, in the end, they will all become our elven son-in-laws, so there's no difference!" He silently comforted himself, looked at the passage between the elves and the beastmen in front of him, and then saw the Tree of Life seed that was very hard-working and sprouting on the ground.

"Um… how can a sapling grow on such grassland?" He said with some doubts, but he didn't care too much.

He still needed to arrange for soldiers to clear the grassland and clean up all the burrowing creatures.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the entire grassland seemed to have become a little stronger these days. The rich magical aura surged out from Zhou Ren's territory and was transforming the place.

"In the future, the elves must occupy a permanent base here, we can't let those guys take the lead!" He said silently, but his eyes turned to the distance.

The elven princess who was placed with high hopes was now very seriously continuing to record something, holding a book that O'Hare had never used, only seen in Zhou Ren's place.

"Originally, there was still a little bit of meaning between the two of them, Your Majesty!" He slightly curled up the corners of his mouth, waved his staff, and turned into an eagle, soaring into the sky.

"I'll beat you to death, you prodigal son!" A huge roar rang out over the Silver Dragon Territory, causing the island, which served as the ancestral home of the Silver Dragon Clan, to tremble slightly.

Anna scurried out a little scared, stubbornly saying, "What's wrong! I sent you guys messages at that time, but you didn't reply. How would I know he was so important?"

"If you knew he was so important, you should have snatched him back, what do you mean by giving him to the elves?" The old dragon king was furious, "Now we need Lord Bahamut to give benefits to Corellon? Is this how you use the Dragon God's face?"

"How would I know…" Anna was still a little unconvinced, but looking at her grandfather's face that seemed to be able to spew flames, she very wisely chose to shut up.

"Hoo hoo hoo…" The Silver Dragon King spewed out a breath condensing frost and cold, which eased his anger a little, "Go and find someone to bring him over to me, I don't care what method you use, if you don't bring him back to me and get some benefits for our Silver Dragon Clan, you just get out!"

"Old man, isn't he just an ordinary alien human? If it really doesn't work, just find two more?" A slightly younger adult silver dragon spoke, and then was directly slapped away by the old dragon.

"That is an alien human who may become a main god. If we mend our relationship with him, maybe we can experience the next Heavenly Fire Era…"

"Grandpa, the Heavenly Fire Era doesn't seem very friendly to us dragons!" Anna weakly raised her hand.

"Hiss…" The old silver dragon's mouth turned blue with anger, and his entire huge dragon body stood up, "I'm going to send you to the temple! I hope the Silver Dragon God in heaven hears you speak!"

"Don't, Grandpa!" In the huge dragon island, the screams seemed to be still continuing.
