The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 397 Beautiful Goblin

Manoran Jin went back quickly, but was a little slow when he came back. Just when Allen thought that the other party might be frightened by his request, a large goblin team slowly came from the direction of the Catoer Mountains in the east. Head towards Green Lake Village.

Allen was naturally very concerned about this matter. After all, he had finally convinced himself that he would contribute his lifelong happiness to the tribe. But now that there is no sound system, he is still a little discouraged. However, the little dissatisfaction in my heart can hardly last long in the face of the reforms that I am about to implement.

"I heard it all clearly. Starting from today, the clan will allow clan members to rent land reclaimed in the village as a family unit. According to the proportion of the family's population, one person can rent 5 acres of land. If there are 4 people in your family People, then you can rent 20 acres of land from the village. The location of the rented land will be divided into three grades according to factors such as soil fertility and watering convenience: fertile land, flat land and secondary land."

“Those who rent land will draw lots from the three grades of land and allocate it to them in a ratio of 1:1:1.”

"For families who rent land, the clan will no longer allocate corresponding rations, but you will get the income from your own cultivation, so you can grow much more. Moreover, apart from collecting 30% of the income from the land for planting, the clan will no longer interfere with your food cultivation. Breed, everything is up to you to decide.”

Allen had the rare opportunity to summon the head gnomes from every household in the village, gathered at the summit square, and began to preach about the reforms he had been planning for a long time.

"In the next five years, the supply of rations among the clan will gradually decrease. Except for certain specific positions, rations will still be retained. Other types of work will not be distributed rations."

There was an uproar among the crowd below. Everyone was used to the life of going out to work every day according to the requirements of the clan, and then being distributed rations according to the type of work. Now, with the clan leader suddenly announcing a new system and canceling the ration supply, who doesn't feel a little panicked?

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd. Except for some key leaders who already knew the situation, most people had confusion and dissatisfaction in their eyes. It was only because of Allen Allen's status as a legendary powerhouse that he could be called invincible. Dare to resist on the spot.

"Clan, clan leader, but our family doesn't know how to cultivate the land?"

Among the crowd, a sturdy middle-aged bugbear, timid but still holding on to his courage, expressed his difficulties to Allen. He is a member of the family. He currently works in the defense force, and his partner is on duty in the village's logistics warehouse. He is Camellia's subordinate. He also helps run several restaurants in the village and entertains outside guests. As for the little ones under my knees, the oldest is only 10 years old now. They are not good at work but have a big appetite. If there is no family rations, what will their family do? !
  Therefore, in order to make a living, the Bugbear had no choice but to stand up and ask, even if he was in awe of Alan, the patriarch.

"If you don't know how to farm, then learn it quickly. You still have a few years to go, but you will eventually learn it!!"

Allen did not get angry, looked at this kind-hearted tribesman with calm eyes, and said loudly.

"You have such a strong body, farming the land is not that difficult for you. As long as you study hard, the village will arrange for people to teach you farming."

"Furthermore, judging from what you are wearing, you must be a member of the defense team. As long as you are good, you will have the opportunity to join the army when the defense team upgrades to the Green Field Defense Force in the future, and you will still be able to get a salary."

"Oh!!"

The Bugbear scratched his head, his eyes shone brightly, and he retracted into the crowd.

There was another commotion. The village defense team was actually upgraded from the security team. I didn't expect that it would only take so long for them to be upgraded to a defense force and still get a salary. That was really a fat job!

Regarding wages, the tribesmen in the village are no longer unfamiliar with them. The group of noodle restaurant waiters who returned from Thornburg, to the chefs of restaurants that occasionally open in the village, the rations they earn represent the wages in Allen's mouth.

"Chief, can we rent land from the village?"

The old human stonemason Boris, tremblingly on crutches, looked at Allen weakly with expectant eyes. At the same time, beside him, there were more than a dozen old or young human faces, looking eagerly at Allen, waiting for his answer.

Compared with the uneasiness in the hearts of the goblins, Boris, Jim and others who were born as humans are full of expectations for Allen's reform. Boris and others, who had long been accustomed to living in the green plains and had raised their children in the village, no longer had the slightest idea of ​​leaving the village with the arrival of Eric, a hundred human compatriots.

Although the number of humans in the village is still only a minority, and some of their own children are sometimes bullied in private, compared with the heavy tax burden, corvee and other burdens in human society, life in Green Lake Village is really not bad. .

Now that they have heard the reform suggestions proposed by Allen, other goblins may feel strange, but Boris and others who came out of the human kingdom do not know the benefits of this change to them. As long as you work hard enough and don't be lazy, according to the rented area given by the Allen clan leader, let alone rations, there will be countless more food left in the family in a year. Naturally, there will always be less than the current ration, which is much better.

Boris and the others are never afraid of hardship, and they are diligent enough. They always hope to leave some industry and wealth to their descendants before they die. It seems to be a human tradition since ancient times. Even in a chaotic place like the wilderness, it cannot be wasted. Get rid of something that has penetrated into their bones.

"As long as you abide by the rules of my tribe and recognize the leadership of our tribe, you can apply to Tom and Tony to receive the land that you can manage freely."

"Also, in the next period of time, the village will re-register and sort out the population of each household, and centrally issue your unique identity tags. I hope everyone will cooperate."

"..."

Apart from distributing land and registering identity cards, Allen has no other actions for the time being. These two things alone are enough to keep Shisheng and the others busy in the village for a period of time, and are enough for the tribesmen to digest. After these two things develop smoothly, Allen will make other actions. Anyway, the remaining actions will have much less impact and fluctuation than distributing land.

In the next few days, the tribesmen in the village would gather together from time to time, or find wise people like Philip and Tom to ask about the pros and cons of renting land. Except for humans like Boris, the goblins began to When it comes to taking action, there are still only a few people who rent land.

Among the first group of goblins to test the water, almost all of them were dwarfs. After some decision-making, these dwarfs who had learned to farm from the beginning finally decided to go it alone. If the clan leader said they could do it, If they can fulfill it, judging from their experience in farming over the years, there is a lot to be done!
  As each household in Green Lake Village has more and more private property, the prototype of commercial activities has begun to appear. For example, some families have accumulated a lot of oats, but they want to exchange for a meal of meat. It just so happens that a family from another hunting team has My partner gave birth and wanted to use oats to grind some fine flour to supplement milk. The two parties reached an exchange by bartering...

No one would dislike having a large food reserve at home. The extra food can be exchanged with other tribesmen for what they need and enrich life at home.

No one thought that it wouldn't be long before Allen would set up a material collection point in the village, open a grocery store, etc., to circulate materials in the village, and at the same time, make everyone's lives better.

Allen is even planning to introduce the money circulating in the civilized world and Mansha City, making it the equivalent of daily friendship in the village, without the hassle of bartering. Of course, these things are all Allen's subsequent reform actions, but they have not yet been implemented, so others naturally have no way of knowing.

As for the concept of money in the village, except for those who have returned from traveling outside or the group of noodle restaurant members who have worked as waiters and cooks who probably know the role of money, the rest of the people are basically still in a state of ignorance. The reason is that the Green Field Plain is too remote. Although outsiders have gradually come in over the years, and sporadic caravans have appeared in it, due to the long span of time, most of the supplies in the village are still purchased with the consent of the tribe. If it is distributed uniformly, the role of money in the village will eventually become too small.

Just as Allen began to slowly carry out his reforms, a team of dozens of people from the Ajinaga tribe slowly approached the warning range of Green Lake Village.

When Manolan Jin, who had been gone for more than a month, reappeared in Allen's field of vision with a group of goblins wearing colorful decorations and clothes, Allen's heart was complicated. He knew that the other party was likely to come this time. It is an approval of his previous proposal. This will certainly make his expectations come true, but it also means that he may bid farewell to the single life and become a goblin with a partner.

"Welcome, friends from afar."

No matter how complicated his heart was, when the scouts in the village discovered Manorankin and his team, in order to show his attention, Allen hurriedly asked Shi Sheng to lead a group of soldiers from the defense team to line up at the entrance of the village to greet them.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it seems that Patriarch Allen has guessed that the beautiful Miss Lena is in our team, so that's why it's so grand!"

Mano's green eyes glanced at the dozens of bugbears and hobgoblin warriors who were lined up in two rows at the entrance of the village, holding up straight spears and wearing uniform armor, and said teasingly to Allen. . “Huh? I really don’t know this!”

Allen was a little surprised, and then glanced unceremoniously at the faces of the dozen or so female goblins in the team who were wearing bright dresses and flowers on their heads, guessing which female among them was his possible future partner. .

"If you don't mind, Elder Mano, please help me introduce Miss Lena."

Behind Allen, Camellia, Dashan and other key members of the village also looked sideways, secretly looking at the females in the opponent's team, with strong curiosity in their eyes.

Little did they know that at this time, a pair of bright pupils hiding behind many of their own race were also secretly observing the faces of Allen and others, as well as the outline of Green Lake Village.

Lena, a female hobgoblin native to the Ajnaga tribe. Manorankin told Allen that Lena is the direct bloodline of the patriarch Bilaire, but in fact Lena herself is just a descendant of Bilel. There is an heir outside the family. For this marriage, Bilair specially selected a female child from his own bloodline who was in line with the aesthetics of goblins and had the aesthetics of the civilized world. At the same time, he must be intelligent, virtuous, and loyal to the Ajnaga tribe.

Under many requests, Lena stood out, and was then manipulated by Bilaire to become one of his direct granddaughters. Only then did Mano go to the Green Plains and approach Allen to propose marriage.

At this time, Lena had just turned 19 and was lucky enough to be promoted to level 9 as a sword dancer. This was because the patriarch, Bilaire, was leaving his hometown to live in this strange land in order to win over Allen.

It would be a lie to say that she was not worried or hesitant. After all, Lena had always lived in a prosperous and exciting town and had never thought that one day she would live in a remote tribe in the wilderness.

The life in the two fortresses of the Ajinaga tribe is actually not much different from that in Mansha City. Who allowed their tribe to occupy such a dangerous pass. Frequent caravans, countless lone merchants, and adventurers who want to venture into the Katoer Mountains to make a fortune have all allowed the Ajinaga tribe to know the wonders of the outside world from an early age.

As long as they have the courage, the goblins of the tribe can still follow the caravans and travel around the Talon continent in the north and the Heron continent in the south to see different worlds.

It's a pity that Lena, who once imagined a happy life, now has to accept her fate and be sent to this strange land. Although the elders close to her family persuaded her that the one she was about to marry was a high-ranking man, such as Billai. Patriarch Er is as powerful a legendary figure as Elder Mano, but these are never what Lena wants.

What Lena wanted was to be a free adventurer, to experience the dangerous and mysterious ruins in the novel, to fight powerful and ferocious monsters. She even imagined that she could become a powerful legend. Fly into the sky and look down at the people.

The person looking across from Elder Mano must be the legendary partner she was about to marry. Lena, who felt somewhat miserable in her heart, couldn't help but focus on her, and cast her eyes as bright as painful blue gems at the other person.

This is a figure with a completely different body from other bugbears who are as strong as bulls. If it weren’t for the tufts of rustling hair growing on his exposed skin and a fleshy bear nose in the center of his cheek, he would only be visible. If you look at him from behind, you might think he is a tall and thin elf.

The other party's hair is not very lush, especially because there are always some scars looming between the hair, which makes his majestic image a little more ugly. The muscles on his body are not exposed and have no clear-cut appearance, but it always makes people feel that the opponent's thin torso hides explosive power and may eat him at any time.

Just as Lena was secretly peeping at Alan, she seemed to feel something strange in her eyes. Alan turned his head, and a pair of bright tiger eyes met Lena's eyes.

"what!"

The embarrassment of being caught peeping, coupled with the shyness and reserve of women, made Lena let out a soft cry, and then hid her small face directly behind the female of the same race next to her.

Allen's eyes were so sharp. Although it was just a glimpse, Lena's appearance had already fallen into his eyes.

In terms of the appearance of the goblin blood, Lena is indeed a rare beautiful goblin, at least many times more beautiful than the camellia that was once a flower in the village. And even from the perspective of humans and elves, Lena, who is handsome and beautiful with a bit of youthfulness, does not have much muscle due to her talent as a sword dancer, and has a slender figure, can be regarded as a relatively outstanding appearance.

Even the defect of goblin blood that the upper body is slightly longer than the lower body may be because Lena has some bugbear blood and prefers the proportion of bugbear upper and lower bodies to be equal, so it does not look awkward.

"Lena, come out quickly and meet Patriarch Allen!!"

Seeing Allen's curiosity and the fact that he came this time to introduce each other to both parties, Mano turned around and shouted loudly to the team. After a while, the young hobgoblin Lena, who had dodged Allen's gaze before, Wearing a red one-piece leather armor, he walked forward nervously.

At this time, Allen took a good look at the female hobgoblin in front of him, and there was a look of relief in his eyes. According to the aesthetics that had been subtly influenced by him in dreams and travels, the reason why he is still single until now, At least a little bit, it's because the appearance of the goblin bloodline is really not in line with my eyes.

Behind Allen, a group of village senior officials looked at the young hobgoblin who would become the patriarch's companion in the future with envious eyes, appreciative attitudes, or even camellia-like eyes with a bit of hostility.

Although she didn't want to admit it, Camellia had to agree that the appearance of the female in front of her was indeed outstanding. The patriarch chose such a female so that her failure to pursue the patriarch would not be so ugly.

"Welcome, beautiful lady!"

Allen bent down slightly and nodded politely. This was the etiquette he learned from the civilized world when he was wandering around outside. Although it seemed a bit funny when used at this time, it made Lai, who had been exposed to the etiquette of the civilized world since childhood, Na's eyes lit up, and the anxiety in her heart lessened a little.

At least now it seems that the leader of the wilderness tribe in front of him is not as ignorant and rude as everyone said. Moreover, in terms of pure goblin aesthetics, if the scars and burn marks on Allen's body are ignored, his appearance is definitely considered handsome.

"Hello, Chief Allen!"

After adjusting her mood a little in her heart, Lena spread her legs slightly and leaned down to support Allen in return.

"Hahaha, how are you, Patriarch Allen? I said our girl Lena is beautiful, gentle and virtuous, I am not lying at all."

Just when the two of them didn't know what to say next, Mano suddenly shouted with a loud voice, patted Allen on the shoulder, and proudly stepped in, which actually made the embarrassment of their first meeting disappear. invisible.

　This chapter is actually a bit awkward. It’s hard to imagine what it would be like for a guy with a calm personality like Allen to face a woman who is about to become his partner.

　　Fortunately, in arranging this marriage, the partner is essentially just a foil. What Allen gains is the foundation of the alliance that the other party takes the opportunity to achieve. Because of the marriage contract, it is relatively stronger, and the protagonist can also gain an additional inheritance and knowledge.

　　Going forward, I am also considering whether the protagonist needs to reproduce heirs. The inheritance rights of the future foundation are also a point to write about...

　　Anyway, it is not a big spoiler. Being Allen's partner is a very sad thing. She will not have too much writing in the long years to come.
