Chapter 39 - 39: Entering the Agricultural Era_l
Without a doubt, the most surprising thing for Leo Ray was, of course, the self-sufficient food production capacity here!
When Gunner Santons had gathered the other villagers earlier, he had already taken a brief look.
On the other side of the village, there were quite a few farmland and several large and small breeding grounds.
In this way, as long as the production scale is expanded, this place can obviously become a stable food supply base in the near future!
At the same time, this meant that in terms of food acquisition, they had progressed from the era of gathering and hunting to the era of farming and animal husbandry!
The most critical thing is that this place is located within the barrier, which not only has a vast space but also a high safety factor.
As long as there are no high-ranking magic powerhouses, enemies cannot enter the interior, undoubtedly guaranteeing the safety of the farmland and breeding grounds to the greatest extent, without worrying about them being destroyed.
“It seems that in addition to Gunner Santons’ own strength problem, the issue of food supply also needs to be studied in depth with him.”
Making up his mind, Leo Ray’s gaze fell on the other resources.
There was nothing special about these things, all very ordinary.
Moreover, with more than a dozen half-elves possessing craftsmanship skills, it is evident that a stable production capacity for tier 2 and below leather armor and bows and arrows exists here.
This level of equipment production will also be a significant boost for them at the moment.
On the other hand, just as Leo Ray was contemplating:
At the bottom of the high platform, the half-elves who had just signed the Obedience Pact looked up at the young human lord with an indifferent face but an extraordinary aura, and they could not help but have various thoughts.
Without a doubt, from this moment on, the fate and future of their entire tribe were entirely in the hands of this lord!
Closing the obedience interface that had just popped up, Leo Ray cheered up and, accompanied by Taylor and others, went to the center of the high platform.
He looked at the half-elves under the stage with a gentle gaze, and then said in a friendly tone like treating friends: “Everyone, I know that you have just experienced a trial of blood and fire, and have lost a lot.
However, through this trial, I have seen the unyielding character and fearless spirit in each of you.
Therefore, I believe that you will stand up soon, and become stronger than before.
As your lord, I will not paint a beautiful future for you.
Because the future is full of uncertainties. What I can do is help you rebuild your homes as soon as possible, and then prepare for crisis in advance.
As long as we work together, I believe it will not be difficult to do so. Where the heart is, the future is to be expected. This is my only promise to you.”
Upon hearing Leo Ray’s words, all the half-elves trembled slightly, and many even had tears filling their eyes.
The lord in front of them was not as tyrannical and arrogant as they imagined, nor did he paint a unrealistic promise to them.
Instead, he was truly empathizing with them!
At this thought, all the half-elves knelt down on one knee, silently bowing their heads to Leo Ray.
Moreover, a considerable number of half-elves had already begun to accept the lord from the bottom of their hearts.
At the same time, an alert sounded in Leo Ray’s ear once again.
[Congratulations! The Moonwhite Tribe has a slight affection for you.
Obedience degree is increased by 5 points, currently at 55 points.]
Seeing that his words had a certain effect, Leo Ray nodded in satisfaction.
Then, he said to Gunner Santons nearby, “Now, order everyone to clean up the battlefield and the village.
Gather all usable weapons and equipment together. I will have use for them later. ”
“Yes, sir!” Hearing this, Gunner Santons immediately started working with Belinda Wright and others.
After this, Leo Ray, who had just stepped down from the platform, hadn’t even had time to catch his breath when the alert sounded for the third time.
[Respected Your Excellency, congratulations! You have become the first lord in the world to successfully sign an obedience contract. A worldwide announcement will be made shortly, would you like to reveal your name?]
“Well, I didn’t expect that this could trigger rewards and global announcements.”
Unexpectedly, after a little thought, Leo Ray chose to reveal his name.
He had previously upgraded the mansion twice and announced it anonymously. It was time for his true identity to make another appearance on the hot search list and gain fame and fans.
The next second, a sudden voice rang in the ears of lords worldwide:
[Congratulations to Lord Leo Ray, the first in the world to successfully sign an obedience contract! Reward: one random skill scroll, one random Miracle Building Blueprint!]
As expected, all chat channels instantly exploded.
“Brothers, it’s Master Leo! Master Leo has returned!”
“Hahaha! I knew Master Leo couldn’t remain dormant like this forever!”
“Master Leo, I am already the head of your five fan clubs, asking for a response again!”
“What is an obedience contract? Asking for Master Leo’s answer, friend request sent-”
“You fool, wasn’t the basic knowledge about this world already engraved in our brains on the first day? How could you not know? Don’t try to gain attention here (scorn).”
“Master Leo, I haven’t showered for three days, can I be your stinky treasure (pitiful).”
“Master Leo, don’t listen to the one above. I also want to sign the obedience contract with you. If not, a pet contract is fine too, the kind with chains (red-lip kiss).”
Ignoring the boring content in the chat channel, Leo Ray couldn’t help but show excitement.
“A skill scroll? A new Miracle Building Blueprint? I wonder what good things I will get? It’s quite exciting.”
“However, the rewards still need to be extracted from the storage space, so I have to wait until I return to the territory.”
In the midst of contemplation, Leo Ray, surrounded by Taylor and others, began to walk towards the farmland and breeding grounds on the other side of the village, preparing to learn more about the situation there first.
In this process, he was surprised to find that the half-elves’ method of dealing with half-orc corpses was straightforward.
They simply opened a crack in the spacetime on the edge of the barrier. Throwing the half-orc corpses inside, they instantly turned into dust and disappeared.
In this way, arriving at the other side of the village, Leo Ray saw Gunner Santons commanding the others not far away.
Gunner Santons, who had apparently seen the group of five, hurriedly walked over with the help of Belinda Wright and his crutches..
