Zongman: Start by becoming the savior of the elves!

"If you plant seeds in this situation, the seeds will just be cooked... Farming itself depends on the weather. In a situation like this where the land is so dry... Is this summer very hot?"

"Y-yeah. It was terribly hot last month, but the temperature usually starts to drop around this time of year."

Olga did say that the dark elves were a hunting people, but their common sense about agriculture was even worse than that of this student who lived in the city, which really surprised Lin Rui.

Even if you just want to start a vegetable garden out of personal interest, you shouldn't be so ignorant.

But considering that she was the queen, it was normal for her to not know much about farming in this hunting tribe. After realizing that he might have embarrassed her, Lin Rui quickly changed the subject.

"Anyway, let's solve the water problem first. First, dig a few reservoirs in this area, and then use the waterwheel I brought to bring water in. While irrigating the fields, we can also use the river water to guide it to the heart of the barn through a relay. In this way, everyone can use water."

"Oh!!!"

Olga's eyes sparkled with surprise and admiration, as if she had witnessed the birth of a miracle. But Lin Rui knew in his heart that this was a huge project that could not be completed overnight.

Chapter 26 Tianjin Port

Just as Yizi City was launching a massive construction and production campaign, the two dark elf elders who were sent to the coastal elf forces to negotiate with the leader of that force, Diruwa, had just arrived at their destination, the southern port of Jin Port, about half a day's journey from Yizi City.

As the most important foreign trade port of the Dark Elf tribe, Jin Port has always been designated as the direct territory of the Dark Elf rulers.

This is not only because Jin Port is the largest trading port of the Dark Elves, it is also the largest salt producing area under the rule of the Dark Elves.

Depending on the season, the amount of people, goods, and money that circulates here sometimes even exceeds that of the capital city of Otoshiko, which is famous for its prosperity.

After the dark elves were divided into two forces, Yizi City and Coastal City, this place has been under the control of the Coastal Dark Elves.

Perhaps considering the importance and irreplaceability of this place, the current ruler of the coastal elves, Diruwa, directly moved his capital here.

After hundreds of years of operation in Diruwa, with the dark elves being suppressed and blocked by surrounding forces and even the entire elf tribe heading for decline, Jingang has been able to grow against the trend. For hundreds of years, it has always been operating as the only city in Beizhou in the true sense of the word.

That's right, compared with Otoko Castle governed by dark elf Olga, Tenshinyama Castle governed by forest elf Noru, and Sanshi Castle governed by half-elf Phyllis, which are called cities but are actually broken wooden fortresses, Jingang is a real city.

Of course, the prosperity and development of Tianjin Port is due to the vision of the builders. But the fact that it was able to develop against the general trend and deal with various forces without being destroyed by the war is naturally due to the means of the lord Diluwa who ruled here.

This is why Lin Rui wants to recruit Diruwa under his command.

As a general, he is not only able to deploy troops, but also able to govern the territory. He is simply... in Lin Rui's words, a person with comprehensive qualities.

Get it, must get it.

Today's Tianjin Port is still very busy.

Under the clear blue sky and with the comfortable sea breeze, groups of sailors and porters were running back and forth in the harbor, shouting loudly.

"Sir! Sorry, please make way! I'm in urgent need of something!"

"Fresh piranha! Fresh piranha!"

"The freshly caught seafood! Would you like some, sir?"

"New stuff shipped from Nanzhou across the sea...capable and capable combat slaves...labor slaves suitable for work...cheap and inexpensive criminal slaves...adorable and charming sex slaves!"

"Hey! Is this enough for the jerky bucket? Isn't it too light?"

"Over there, fighting on the pier will land you in jail! If you dare to start a fight, you will be banned from entering here again!"

Every day is a repetitive cycle.

If there is any major difference between this place and the interior of Beizhou, the first thing that comes to mind is the residents here. As a port that brings together various cultural forces, the permanent residents who live here cannot be only dark elves.

Elves and various types of orcs live in their own communities like stars, but under Diruwa's management, everyone lives in peace and harmony, and the principle is that unless they work to make money, they will never interact with each other.

When the soil in the barn area of Otoko City was just touched by the first shovel, the two dark elf elders parked their unicorns on a hill overlooking the entire port. The sea breeze blowing up from the slope of the hill brought the fragrance of fruits accumulated in the port, dyeing the area around the port with an exotic flavor.

There are more than 20 white sailboats of different sizes scattered on the blue sea, which reminds people of white sheep gathered in a green pasture.

The two dark elf elders who had been living in the inland didn't even know what this inner lake looked like, let alone the sea.

"Is this the sea?"

"Beyond the sea is..."

The two of them looked at the sea and just said this lightly, and then said nothing more.

The vast expanse of water and the endlessly overlapping waves and hills were enough to attract their attention.

"Let's go. Let's go see Duroit."

"……Um……"

The prosperity of Jin Port deeply shocked the two elders. You know, Otoko City and Jin Port were once known as the land capital and sea capital of the dark elves.

However, now, the capital of land is on the verge of death. Although the savior is working hard to transform it, the capital of sea is still thriving.

This contrast is quite a big gap in the hearts of those who love their hometown.

Different from his aggressive appearance outside Otoshi Castle, Diruwa's tone was quite polite when he personally received the two elders.

It seemed that he was very confident in the Tianjin Port under his governance. When he delivered his welcome speech, the tone of his voice was two notes higher than usual.

"Welcome to the two rare guests. Please give my regards to the savior. By the way, although Jingang has always been under the rule of our dark elves, this is your first time here, right? How is it? What is your impression of us?"

"Thank you for your concern, General Diroy. To be honest, this is the first time I've seen the sea and the port. The development here is really amazing. People say that General Diroy is a warrior who only knows how to wield swords and guns. Today, I met him and realized that he is quite good at governing the territory. No wonder my master praises General Diroy so much and wants to have a good talk with him and even recruit him. But Lady Olga keeps complaining about this!"

The envoy from the dark elf elders chose to flatter them with a few nice words. Considering that only Diruwa was there to meet her group, and the axe girl Eluda and the forest elf military advisor Mizili were not there, she was not in a hurry to get to the point.

This was Lin Rui's idea, because the purpose of the two dark elf elders coming to Tianjin Port this time was not to negotiate with the other party sincerely.

The purpose of the two elders this time was to test each other.

Now there was only Diluwa in front of her, and the others had not arrived yet, so she just laughed and chatted with him, just to kill time.

Of course, the waiting time is not long.

Just as the dark elf elder was chatting with Diruwa about the prosperity of Tianjin Port, the sound of three footsteps was heard from outside the meeting room.

People...are coming.

"Oh my! I didn't expect you two to think so highly of Jingang. In this case, the two elders support the savior's visit to Jingang?"

The person who was speaking in such a sarcastic tone was undoubtedly the forest elf military strategist Mizili.

Her bare feet stepped on the wooden floor as if they were on ice, making a "pa pa" sound. As her body passed the two dark elf elders kneeling opposite Diruwa, she tilted her head with an interested expression and glanced at the two of them.

Hiss... I was swept by the witch...

I’m so scared… so scared… Master… Princess Olga… I’m so scared… I want to go home so badly…

These two guys had never faced the gaze of the "legendary witch" before. Although they forced themselves to hold back their emotions and not cry out of fear, the details of their biting their lower lips and blinking black pupils were still captured by the other party.

But Mizili did not expose the two's cowardice in person. She was probably very satisfied that she had imprinted fear in the other's hearts. After giving a satisfied smile, she walked straight to the guest general's seat on the left side of Duruwa and sat down.

"I heard that the messenger from Otoko Castle has arrived? Is it that Chloe girl? I haven't fought her for a long time, and now I really... want to fight her. Who won between us last time? Hmm... It's been 50 years, I almost forgot it."

The troops of Dilua and Olga fought a great battle in Otoshi Castle 50 years ago, but there were only two people from each side who actually fought, Chloe and Elda.

In terms of combat talent, Elda is far superior to Chloe. But in terms of overall combat power, especially military strategy, Cross is far superior to Elda.

"Alright, alright, Elda. We didn't gather so many people today just to let you fight. This is about the future of our entire dark elf race. So stop standing there and yelling, and find a seat quickly."

"Uh. Yes. Big Sister. I understand."

Among the coastal dark elves, the only one who could suppress Eluda and make her obey orders was Diluwa. This was not only because he was the general and was superior to her in terms of position, but more importantly, when Eluda was young and not that strong, Diluwa was the one who was responsible for supervising her.

Every time Eluda made a mistake, Diluwa would spank her pants in public, and this continued until she reached adulthood.

It's a psychological shadow in some sense.

As for the girl who followed Eluda in at the end, she was not actually the manager of Jin Port. She was General Diluwa's younger sister, Iblin. Unlike her sister who had become cold and noble due to her long military career, Iblin was a timid and cowardly homebody who was not good at communicating with others.

But even though she was a homebody, she was very talkative. In this respect, she and Duluwa were the only similarities in personality between the two sisters.

She is very smart, but she has a very serious flaw.

She is too weak.

That's right, compared to her sister Dilua, who has super strong combat power, and the charging abandoned child Elda, Iblin is really too weak.

Later, Lin Rui, who unified the entire Beizhou, formed a harem group called "Nine Heroes of Beizhou" with his own 9 elf harems. Among these 9 people, Iblin's motor nerves and combat abilities were so poor that they were fatal.

If the person with the strongest talent among the "Nine Heroes" is 0 Eluda, then the worst one is wu Iblin. However, in Si Linrui's personal opinion, he thinks that these two people are % the same kind.

Hearing Lin Rui say this, Iblin would surely be furious, but Elda would be extremely happy.

In short, in Lin Rui's eyes, they are the same kind.

Because after the two families merged, Lin Rui wanted to train these two people and teach them his "Shixianliu" swordsmanship. Then he understood two truths.

First, no matter how talented you are, it's a waste of effort to talk to a fool.

Second, no matter how smart you are, it is a waste of effort to talk to someone who has no talent.

Chapter 27 Negotiations with Unkind Intentions

Let’s stop talking nonsense and get back to the topic.

After a brief but cold greeting between the two sides, the negotiations immediately got down to business.

"I bring my master's most heartfelt greetings to Master Diruwa and Master Eluda. Seeing that everyone is in good health is really better than anything else.

The issue of the savior concerns the future of all the dark elves, so the head of the family expressed his gratitude and support for Lord Diruwa's public willingness to resolve the issue with us through negotiation outside Otsuko Castle. He also hopes that this negotiation will allow both sides to temporarily suppress the conflicts and unhappiness of the past few hundred years, and to calmly discuss the issue of the savior's ownership, which concerns the common destiny of all, based on the interests of all the dark elves. At the same time, he also hopes that both of us will not do things that will make our loved ones sad and our enemies happy because of a momentary pleasure, and let others take advantage.

Of course, the head of the family also knows that it is very difficult for the two sides to reach a reconciliation, but he firmly believes that the future of this road is bright, the road is tortuous, and unity that is in the interests of both sides will surely defeat division that goes against their interests. "

The chief envoy among the dark elves said a very long and politically correct sentence, then glanced in the direction of Milinzili.

Her intention in saying this was very clear. She was hinting to Diruwa that Lin Rui's problem was an internal matter of our dark elves, and the forest elves should not exist here.

How could Mizili, who had always been scheming against others, not understand the implication of the dark elf elder's words? However, she did not rush to refute. Instead, she curled up the corner of her mouth slightly and showed a disdainful sneer.

After counting to 3 in her mind, she shook her breasts that were bigger than her face and said in a mocking tone:

"You said it so easily. It's no wonder, after all, he's an outsider. It's like this, the savior only needs to give orders unilaterally, but others have to consider a lot. Hundreds of years of grievances and interests can be fooled by a negotiation. Is this savior raised in milk tea?"

After finishing her disdainful words towards Lin Rui, Mizili glared back at the dark elf elder with a look that saw through everything.

Hiss...so scary...

The elder envoy's hair stood on end and goose bumps covered his body as he was stared at by Mizili.

But she still tried her best to suppress her timidity, pretending to be calm and straightening her back which was hunched up in fear.

But in the end, it was Diruwa who smoothed things over: "I understand what the savior said. In fact, when you think about it, although we have been confronting your Otoko Castle for hundreds of years, the two sides have never really fought each other. Originally, if nothing unexpected happened, our two families would continue to live in seclusion. But the issue that the savior mentioned is too important. It concerns the survival of the race, so I have to make a decision that goes against convention.

The environment of our Jin Port is completely different from your Otoko City. This is an open port. In addition to dark elves, there are orcs, half-orcs and dwarves living here. Those tribes are different from us elves. They have males and are all races that can reproduce freely.

Recently, I have deeply felt the population pressure brought to us by the various non-dark elf races in Tianjin. The proportion of dark elves in Tianjin is getting lower and lower every year. As the group that rules Tianjin, I must pay attention to this issue. Otherwise, if the number of orcs and dwarves continues to grow blindly, it will be difficult for us dark elves to gain a foothold in Tianjin.

This is why I would rather go to Otoko Castle in person to get the Savior."

Diluwa was indeed not good at diplomacy. The dark elf elder had revealed her true intentions with just one nice word. That Mizili must have noticed this, so she could easily control her.

In that case, let's play our cards.

"My master, the savior, understands Lord Diluwa's difficulties, but he also said that the elves affected by the holy tree are not only yours. If this time, my master agrees to Lord Diluwa's conditions and comes to Jingang, and then other elves come to Jingang to ask for my master, will Lord Diluwa hand over my master?

Another point is that our Otoko City is one of the two major settlements of the dark elves, just like your Jin Port. If you want us to give up our master to you so easily, how can we gain a foothold in the Beizhou Forest in the future?"

The elder's words were quite sincere. Of course, this was also Lin Rui's instruction for her to say so.

"If you don't agree, then let's fight! With the little skills you have in Otoko Castle, can't our general defeat you?"

But before the Dark Elf Elder finished speaking, he was threatened by Eluda. But the Envoy Elder was not to be outdone and said, "Now my master is the lord of Otoko City. Eluda said she wants to attack Otoko City. Does that mean she wants to be the enemy of my master, the Savior?"

"You...you guy..."

No matter how stupid Elda was, she would never say something like "I just want to be the enemy of the savior". Elda, who just looked like she was ready to roll up her sleeves and start fighting, instantly wilted.

Eluda's recklessness did indeed leave Dirua speechless, but she was her subordinate after all, and as the general of the dark elves, she still had to protect her subordinate.

She said: "Of course we will not be enemies with the savior, but if the savior is trapped in Otoko Castle because of the coercion of some treacherous villains, then don't blame us for taking action."

To put it bluntly, it means clearing out the imperial court, right?

Mizili saw the opportunity and quickly followed up, "The problem of the savior is not just a problem for your dark elves. You know, when the sacred tree lost its energy, the entire elf clan was worried about reproduction. And at this time, your Otoko City hid the savior and didn't even say hello.

We, the forest elves, mountain elves, elemental elves, and other white elves, are all quite worried about this, just like Lord Diruwa. 076 Jiuyi Transfer T: I am worried that you, Otoko Castle, have imprisoned the Lord Savior under the banner of protection and respect, and used him as a breeding tool for your family.

This kind of inhumane act of ignoring the will of the Lord Savior and forcing him to perform breeding is simply inhumane! It is infuriating to both humans and gods! It is condemned by both heaven and man!"

Diruwa's original intention was just to scare the other party by saying that he had his reasons for sending troops to Otoshi Castle, but Mizili was simply adding fuel to the fire, and what she said was almost like a manifesto.

Therefore, not only Duroit, but even Iblin, who was standing by and listening without saying a word, was frightened.

Because in terms of overall strength, the garrison in Jin Port is definitely much stronger than that in Otoko City. But as Diluwa just said, the number of dark elves in Jin Port is not dominant at all. If too many troops are transferred to the front line, it is hard to guarantee that the home is unsafe.

Every family has their own problems.
