In Green Lake Town, when Allen and Figueras quietly appeared in the town, the preliminary preparations for the competition were already in place, and the whole town was filled with densely packed heads.
The inn was overcrowded, and many of the wilderness natives who couldn't stay there simply ran outside to the wilderness to find a shade tree or a cave to rest, which saved some money. These small difficulties could not dampen the enthusiasm of the wilderness natives to play and watch the Green Lake competition. Even neighboring tribes came to Green Lake Town to join in the fun, and they were not worried that their villages would be destroyed by others.
In the Green Field Plain, there has never been such a lively event in history. In addition, the Green Field Tribe’s current open and tolerant mentality means that the surrounding tribes and indigenous people no longer have to worry about being exterminated and enslaved, making more people around the Green Field Plain The wilderness natives are willing to come to Green Lake Town to see the world.
Many natives around the Green Field Plain have almost never left the territory within a hundred miles of their own tribe from the day they were born, let alone the towns of other large tribes or even relatively prosperous places like Mansha City. Take a walk and have a look.
Now that there is such a rare opportunity, everyone naturally wants to come and join in the fun, see how the warriors of other powerful tribes fight, and see the powerful strength of those legendary high-level warriors and magical casters.
This is also thanks to the establishment of several colleges named after Allen. In order to expand the source of students and recruit outstanding talents, the Green Field Tribe has sent people to places hundreds or even thousands of miles away in recent years to promote. Unknowingly, the name of the Green Field Tribe was spread, and so many guests came after hearing the news.
Of course, there is also the contribution of Allen's food. Allen's pasta has been blooming in the wilderness for decades, and Allen's restaurant was opened in the right location. The Allen's food series has become a business card of the wilderness, and even in the pursuit of The hedonistic human and elven noble classes gradually began to hire the inheritors of Allen's cuisine.
This in turn provides better publicity for the Allen Culinary Institute. In the past two years, many students have traveled thousands of miles to study in Green Lake Town, just to learn good cooking skills. With a diploma from the Lun Culinary Academy, you can find a high-paying job in the kingdoms of elves and humans.
As a result of the chain reaction, Green Lake Town became more and more famous, and Allen himself gradually became known to outsiders because of the name of Allen's food.
With so many tourists coming to the town, the goblins in Green Lake Town naturally did not miss the great opportunity to make money. They packed up their food reserves, pickled side dishes, etc., and set up snack stalls. As the birthplace of gourmet food, almost every family in the Green Field Tribe has a goblin who is pretty good at cooking and making pasta. Nowadays, it is really not easy for them to make some snacks.
However, in order to control the flow of people and avoid problems caused by overcrowded and chaotic crowds in the living and office areas of the town, Trick specially set aside a large area in the competition venue area in the south outside the town for the tribesmen to There are stalls and businesses here.
"How do you sell this thing?"
Figueras pulled Allen and ran directly into the small market formed by countless stalls. He picked up the hot skewers from a stall nearby and looked at several unknown skewers as big as golden pigeon eggs on the wooden sticks. Ask about food.
"Two bunches of silver coins."
The person looking after the stall was a female dwarf, who was currently making snacks in front of a stove made of earth and stone. After seeing the unknown hobgoblin asking for a price, she gave the answer simply.
"Okay! Give me another bunch!"
"Let the guy next to me pay!!"
Skillfully, he picked out another string of fried skewers from the small woven rattan basket, waved his thumb to Allen, and then left gracefully.
Allen was stunned when he saw this, then shook his head and reached into the dimensional bag behind him helplessly, and threw out a shining silver coin to the hard-working dwarf female.
"Well, not bad, it's delicious. What's the name of this food?"
Figueras's big mouth kept chewing, making crispy sounds in his mouth, and an expression of satisfaction appeared on his face.
"This is called a golden egg, the favorite snack of the children in our town, made of flour and jam..."
The female dwarf didn't mind the trouble and simply introduced Figueras until Allen felt bored and dragged Figueras forward.
"Do you even want to save these few silver coins?"
Allen looked at Figueras's hands with more and more snacks speechlessly, and couldn't help but complain.
"In the eyes of our dragon, every shining thing is worth collecting. Since you are the master, why should I pay for it myself!!"
Figueras answered confidently, then opened his mouth wide and was filled with the taste of fresh barbecue, which was indescribably satisfying.
"..."
No one paid attention to the two inconspicuous goblins at this time. Allen's face was covered with half a bronze mask, and a cloak blocked his obviously thin figure. Although he met many goblins who looked a little impressed. , but it was obvious that the other party did not recognize him.
Although the scene was lively, it was orderly. From time to time, teams of strong goblin warriors wearing almost identical heavy armor and patrolling with sharp and long weapons came and went. No one would be mentally ill to find themselves uncomfortable.
The sounds of shouting, shouting, and bargaining came one after another. Figueras felt as if he had traveled through the world of human and elven civilization, without any wild and wild scenes at all.
In the makeshift duel field in the distance, various sounds of fighting and fighting were heard, accompanied by sonorous and powerful cheers, and bursts of cheers and ridicule broke out from the crowd. The two parties in the duel above were warriors sent by the vassal tribe of the Green Field Tribe. They were fighting fiercely for the 20 participating places in advance. It was a way to warm up the Green Field Competition and kill the boring time of the tourists.
"Come on, come on, if you think the jackal Rowan can win this match, the odds are 1:1.5. If you think the kobold Thoron can win, the odds are 1:2.3. In the last ten minutes, the fight is about to begin! !”
Allen and Figueras followed the flow of people and soon arrived at the duel stage where the competition was taking place. Looking at dozens of duel stages, there were people in a daze. Some were fighting fiercely and some were quickly cleaning up the traces and traces left by the previous battlefield. Bloody water.
There was a dwarf holding a wooden board under each duel stage. On the board, the origins and names of the warriors from both sides who were about to fight on the duel stage were written on it, and they shouted loudly at the same time. Behind the dwarf, there was a burly goblin warrior as a guard, his eyes coldly scanning the heads around him.
"This warrior, do you want to give it a try? Looking at you, today should be your lucky day. You will definitely win!!"
The dwarf stepped on the heavy iron and wooden box. When he saw the looks from Allen and Figueras, he immediately started to sell it eloquently.
"Hey hey hey!!"
Figueras stretched his shoulders forward slightly and pushed Allen out, looking like he was watching the fun. Although Allen was pushed out, he waved his right hand at the same time and rejected the opponent without hesitation.
"Don't go, warrior, the next silver coin is fine, come on!!"
After the dwarfs tried their best to stay, Allen got into the crowd, followed closely by the disappointed Figueras.
After the sky darkened and the duel scheduled for that day ended, the crowd slowly dispersed. Although they said they dispersed, in fact, the stall market was still bustling with activity. Some wilderness natives even directly found a free duel platform and went up to it. I probably planned to rest here on my first trip, but I didn’t care about the harsh environment at all.
Allen and his wife, who were visiting privately incognito, slowly walked into the hilltop castle in the center of the town. Shortly after revealing their identities, Trick came quickly with a few supervisors.
"Clan leader, the opening of the competition is ready and can be held at any time."
Trick didn't hesitate. Although he was a little curious about the strange hobgoblin on Allen's left, looking at Alan's indifferent attitude, Trick also reported his work directly in front of the strange hobgoblin. .
"The number of contestants who signed up for the competition this time has reached 25,145, which exceeds our previous scale. The proportion of high school and low-level contestants is almost the same, and the gap is not big."
"Except for our own contestants, most of the students enrolled in Allen's three colleges according to your instructions are also participating. Including contestants from surrounding vassal tribes, there are a total of 1,227 foreign contestants."
"Also, the dark elves in Korima Village in the northeast have also sent envoys to communicate with us and asked whether the villagers in their village can participate. I did not reply to them directly. I plan to wait for you to ask for instructions before replying to them."
"The number of contestants has increased this time. Do we need to change our rewards..."
After ten years of recuperation, the population of the Goblins of the Green Field Tribe has reached its peak again. Although they have lost the important source of income from the Nasir Fortress, the income channels brought by the development of the southern foot of the Cator Mountains have allowed the Green Field Tribe's The people at the bottom can still maintain a living standard above subsistence and clothing, which is even better than the life of the Ajinaga tribe in the past.
At least in terms of exploiting and squeezing the lower-level tribesmen, due to Allen's behavior style, the methods of the middle and higher-ups of the Green Field Tribe are relatively mild and conservative, which has significantly improved the living environment and quality of the goblins at the bottom. Changes in the living environment and quality naturally brought about changes in the reproduction of goblins. A large number of goblin babies were born in the past twenty years, bringing a large amount of fresh blood to the tribe.
Two years ago, according to the last census of the Green Field Tribe, the total population was close to 300,000. It was probably the most populous tribe among the major tribes in the north.
Although the dwarfs, who are the weakest among the wilderness natives, account for more than half of this huge population base, which makes Allen somewhat worried. However, after being cultivated by a relatively good education system, the talents of the dwarfs gradually began to emerge. Revealed.
Although the dwarfs are poor at fighting, their ability to learn and innovate makes them extremely talented in many non-combat professions, such as accountants, potion alchemists, magic prop craftsmen, etc., as long as they They don't pay too much attention to physical strength and strength. They can quickly get started and master it, and then start to innovate independently.
Today, more than 70% of the new dishes of the Green Field Tribe are created by the dwarf chefs. This shows how capable they are.
However, what follows is that all management positions in the tribe that involve non-combat aspects are basically occupied by dwarf goblins, and there is a long-term tendency to fall under the control of their lineage of goblins.
"Well, you can make a new plan and show it to me."
Allen is very relieved about Trick. More than ten years of experience as a town mayor means that Trick no longer needs Allen's advice and is already a very qualified tribal ruler. Unfortunately, with the passage of time, Trick, who is now in his fifties, has gradually begun to decline in energy and physical strength. He will only be able to stay in the position of mayor for more than ten years in the future, and it is time for him to step back from his past. ’s footsteps.
Wrinkles have begun to appear on Trick's furry face. The originally lush hair on his head has become sparse. Allen feels a little sad in his heart that another generation of goblin children is getting older, but in When he saw the three young goblins following Trik, his slight depression was dispelled by the light again.
"We have made a first draft of the plan. Chief, please take a look at what needs to be changed."
Trick waved, and a young bugbear behind him quickly handed over a document and handed it to Trick's hand.
Allen took the document handed over by Trick and flipped through it carefully. The various rewards on it were dazzling, and their values corresponded to warriors and spellcasters of all levels. They were all good choices.
In the past, taking out so many resources at once and rewarding the tribesmen below would have made Allen feel a little pain. But now, looking at the various items densely packed in the documents, Allen has no emotion at all.
"Well, let's do it."
Allen nodded with satisfaction, took out a magic seal from the dimensional bag, lightly stamped it with a red mud seal, and handed it back to Trick.
"The dark elves in Korima Village want to participate in the competition. You send someone to tell them that we agree to their participation, but it is best to control the number of people. You can discuss an appropriate number yourself. .”
"OK."
Trik concentrated on remembering Allen's instructions in his heart, and then continued to ask: "Can you please come up and preside over the official opening of this competition? Nearly 10,000 natives from the surrounding tribes, and Many goblin adventurers who admire the clan leader..."
Allen directly interrupted Trick and refused without hesitation: "I believe in your ability to host the matter, so I won't step in. This is your honor."
Allen is very clear about the efforts and efforts that Terek has put into this matter. As a junior who cannot live as long as himself, Allen still hopes that Terek can leave a good legacy during his term of office. remember.
After retiring in the future, Trick may still have a long period of retirement. At that time, he can rely on these beautiful memories to gain the respect of other tribesmen in the end. And this respect is what these middle and high-level leaders who have devoted their lives for the tribe deserve.
