MC's career as foreign lord

“If you hadn't told me there was a legendary event waiting for me, I would have slapped you to death!” Anna, with a bruised face, flew behind with two silver dragons.

Her fiery temper came from her grandfather. For dragons, the distinction between male and female has never been important; what matters is being tough and durable.

So, under the Silver Dragon King's tutelage, Anna, who was already considered a troublemaker in the entire dragon clan, could only recount everything she had experienced, while also letting them understand the origins of this special person.

The Silver Dragon King became increasingly angry as he listened, wanting to slap his granddaughter to death, but considering that she would inherit the throne in the future, he became even more infuriated and could only patiently educate his granddaughter.

“You must remember that you will be a king in the future, just like your little companion, the king of an entire race. If that little Golden Dragon isn't up to the task, you might even become the Dragon Lord in the future!”

Hearing this, Anna started complaining again, “Grandpa, that Golden Dragon doesn't want to be the Dragon King at all, okay? He's been planning to run away for a long time!”

“Hiss! Just like your father, only knowing how to run away all day long? Can you two give me a break?” The Silver Dragon King completely erupted, raising his hand to hit her again, but then thought better of it, as it wouldn't be good for his granddaughter to meet guests with a bruised face.

“There are only 4 days left before it becomes impossible to enter that place, so you must reach the Northern Wasteland within these 4 days!” he said, disappearing into the air the next moment.

“Sister! I'm not saying this, but…” The silver dragon beside Anna hadn't even opened his mouth before he was subjected to intense condemnation.

Anna looked at him, “You're a dragon who abandoned his own daughter, yet you still have the nerve to talk to me? I've been raising your daughter all along!”

Her words left her brother speechless, and he could only resentfully shut his mouth.

The two of them stopped talking and flew into the sky with the raging wind. Naturally, the people on the ground couldn't see the dragons in the high sky.

“I hope we will have a more glorious and brilliant future!” Archbishop Sid said, “I will have people send all the materials for building the church in two months. You can also tell me what you need. I will be in the temporary church for these two months!”

“Definitely!” Zhou Ren nodded.

After thoroughly understanding the production process and function of the coins, this Wealth Archbishop could no longer sit still. The currency value he was most worried about had suddenly become the most crucial link in opening up the market.

If Zhou Ren wasn't worried about letting strangers participate in the selection here, he would have even sent people to earn experience points to make coins.

“I still need to find more laborers to earn experience points, otherwise, how long will it take me to make coins alone?” Zhou Ren also complained.

He discovered the flaws in his initial design. Experience points are a good thing in the eyes of other races, but in his hands, they are just a very special material.

Moreover, the experience professions he can acquire are extremely limited, so the city entry plan for professionals that he mentioned to Mosa before needs to be carefully considered.

And in this city, the only ones he can see are the leaders of those two mercenary groups, plus a blacksmith named Odinson.

Hmm… Thinking about it that way, if Henry is willing to follow, that would be good too.

After all, judging from his words, actions, and knowledge, he doesn't seem like an ordinary commoner, but rather like a down-and-out nobleman, who can supplement some basic knowledge that Mosa doesn't know, and it's also good to use him as a errand runner.

But all of this will have to wait until these two days to see if anyone returns to the town, after all, the entire town has a policy of moving to Val City, and presumably many people will not return.

Zhou Ren looked into the distance. He was very curious about what the elves had discussed in these few days that made them withdraw so decisively.

Clearly, they should have selfishly occupied this area, and then sent everything here to other races after going through their hands. Just passing through their hands would bring them extremely terrifying profits.

And then, they left…

They left…

If there was nothing special about this, Zhou Ren would eat himself!

Then he saw the princess holding Leia, preparing to leave. Shea had also said before that she would be particularly busy these two days due to cleaning up the grassland and moving the town, and would probably come back after the move was completed.

Zhou Ren certainly wouldn't let go of this opportunity and went up to meet her.

“Big brother!” The little girl recovered quite quickly and no longer had the awareness of causing trouble as before, and was about to pounce on him, but was tightly held by her teacher.

Zhou Ren took her and saw the little Raichu who wanted to run away with her, and quickly took the lightning off.

“You can leave, but Raichu can't go. If something happens to him outside, I won't be able to clean it up!” Zhou Ren said, casually throwing the little thing in his hand back to the territory.

Raichu needs to manage a kind of lightning element in that pool. If this little guy disappears, and the lightning elements riot, Zhou Ren will be in trouble.

“Woo woo…” The little lightning made two crackling sounds, and then obediently left, looking very aggrieved, causing the little girl to burst into laughter.

Zhou Ren also asked his question, if he didn't ask this matter clearly, he felt that he couldn't sleep well.

“Are you talking about this matter?” Shea smiled, she said the results of the discussion among the elven high-level officials a few days ago.

“Originally, our clan also considered whether to set your place as a restricted area, and let our elves take over your industry. We would split all the profits with you in half. You only need to be responsible for production, and we will bear all the pressure that follows!”

Zhou Ren nodded, “That's great, even if you told me, I would agree, wouldn't I?”

“But the Elven God directly issued an order, cutting off our idea!” Shea continued, “Lord Corellon said that gods should not be coerced, your only partner should be a god, and he is not willing to divide the wealth!”

“Ah?” Zhou Ren was stunned. If what he had perceived before, the attitude of those gods towards him, was just a guess, then now it is proof.

Corellon even said in person that he is a god, is it so exciting?

“That's actually not the main reason,” Shea said, “Although the things that the elves do need to be approved by the gods, they will not just listen casually. After considering it, the Mother Empress found that it is best to release you!”

“Oh?” Zhou Ren himself was a little surprised, these elves invested so much in him, and they are willing to release him?

“Because you didn't reject their opinions, this area is still a subordinate territory of the elves, and it is enough that we can enjoy the treatment in the first time!”

This kind of effortless control really made Zhou Ren take them seriously. Investing so much without seeking returns, relying solely on what they gained from previous negotiations, these elves are truly daring!

If I weren't a decent person, I could easily turn on them after they leave. With a two-month buffer and the arrival of countless legends afterward, the elves might not dare to do anything to me.

But Zhou Ren considered himself not that kind of person. Since they extended goodwill, he would naturally reciprocate. This, in turn, fulfilled their wishes. Ah... how amazing!

Zhou Ren smiled and suddenly stepped forward, grasping Hia's hand. "I'm not at a loss either. I hold the future of the elven race in my hands!"

"Mmm!" Hia's face instantly turned red, and she glared at him somewhat fiercely before grabbing her little apprentice and running away.

Zhou Ren waved his hand, as if still lingering with the fragrance. He watched the young woman disappear from view. "Then, see you next time!"

He returned to his territory in a cheerful mood, seeing the liches laying railway tracks and the dozen or so skeletons working alongside them.

These skeletons are truly interesting. They don't seem like workers at all, but rather like a group of children playing a game.

As Mossa lays down a section of track, they level the surrounding ground, place the lights, and clean up other debris, waiting for him to continue forward.

Behind them, two more skeletons are busy placing various decorations and installing switches.

Several skeletons in front are leveling the uneven ground, laying stones to ensure the tracks advance, filling in the surrounding area, and erecting fences.

These little skeletons become increasingly happy, as if they've found something particularly fun, completely oblivious to Zhou Ren's arrival.

Zhou Ren didn't disturb these joyful individuals. After handing some gold coins to Sid, he had some ideas of his own.

Because in this module, the currencies above gold, silver, and copper are actually ancient metals, mithril, and adamantium alloys.

The stored experience values are 500, 2500, and 10,000 respectively.

In terms of the original world, these are the real high-value currencies. An adamantium coin alone, just calculating experience value, is worth 1 million standard gold coins.

And that's not even considering the value of the adamantium alloy itself.

However, the value of this metal is insignificant compared to the high experience value. He's now thinking about adding this special metal currency system to the currency system he previously established.

This will have to wait until the gold, silver, and copper currencies he creates are approved by the entire continent, and until his experience value system is completely established.

He suddenly felt a sense of great responsibility. However, he now needs to meet some newcomers, those that Mossa mentioned... people from the Underdark.

The Underdark refers to the world below, a purely subterranean world. In that world, there is no sun, moon, or concept of sky. Instead, there are mysterious caverns and strange creatures.

Some ancient creatures, left over from ancient times, hide in the Underdark. Some races that failed in battle have also migrated underground.

As for the followers of evil gods, the villains engaged in evil deeds, and some mysterious races that accidentally stumbled into the underground, they all live there.

It is a truly chaotic region. Without strong strength, people of the good alignment cannot survive.

Coincidentally, Mossa is a truly good-aligned person, but he possesses the ability to slay dragons, so he is not afraid of those petty schemers.

However, Mossa also told Zhou Ren clearly that those who can survive in the Underdark must have some means, not the naive fools of legend.

Real fools can't even leave a cave before being chewed up, bones and all, leaving nothing behind.

"So, where are our new friends now?" Zhou Ren asked.

The two were walking in the excavated cave. Their railway tracks had already been laid to the other side, to the coal mine where Mossa initially hid.

"There is an entrance to the Underdark there, but it is all solid obsidian, barely passable by a single humanoid!" Mossa said.

Zhou Ren nodded in understanding. "So, you didn't tell me the truth at first?"

"Mm!" The lich actually nodded sincerely. "Your initial image was simply untrustworthy, but now, you have everything!"

Zhou Ren smiled. "Then tell me now, what kind of expression did you have when you saw that fish?"

"You still remember!" Mossa smiled wryly. "It's okay to tell you now! I was mainly afraid you would worry!"

"I can roughly guess the result. You've made it so obvious. Haven't you noticed that I haven't even fished in that big river?" Zhou Ren said.

Mossa's worries weren't written on his face, but he did notice them, so he reduced the number of times he went fishing, and even when he did, it was only in his own pond.

"That river definitely has undercurrents leading to the Underdark. The death of that abyssal eel you caught is also related to you!" Mossa looked at Zhou Ren. "Master, am I right?"

"I fed that fish a pufferfish. I didn't expect it to be poisoned to death. That can't be blamed on me, right?" Zhou Ren shrugged. "Have I been targeted by those psionic races?"

"Mm! The death of an abyssal eel will place a psionic curse on its killer, which all psionic beings can sense. And once another abyssal eel senses it, they will relentlessly hunt you down!"

Zhou Ren said, "Similar to the tracking of those goblins?"

Mossa shook his head. "That is a psionic curse originating from an ancient race, from the abyssal eel psionic empire of ancient times. Almost all gods have this curse on them!"

"Hah! In the end, isn't it just bullying the weak and fearing the strong?" Zhou Ren complained. "It's not just those gods, right? I'm afraid some top experts also have such curses, right?"

"You're right. Besides legends like me who travel alone, many legendary races have the curse of the abyssal eel. Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is indeed an apt phrase!" Mossa sighed!

"Then there's no problem. Let them come!" Zhou Ren said easily. This isn't a difficult decision. Is a psionic race hiding underground more threatening than the gods?
