Adrian continued to bombard the target with arcane magic and spells for a day. In fact, he was just venting his emotions. Although he didn't know what he was venting, he knew that he could not resent Aragund.
and his strict education, but after a day of shooting at the archery target, Adrian still felt a lot more refreshed. Then the next day, Adrian followed the teaching materials left by Aragund and consciously
Keep training.
However, Adrian's own training did not last long. This was not an anticlimax for Adrian, but there was a big thing that needed him to do in the Black Silk Territory, so he had to interrupt the training. You know, even if it was the first time before
The tea auction did not cause Adrian to cancel a day of training like today.
But Adrian must do this by himself, because today is the day when the first batch of free people recruited by the Solar Storm Territory arrive, and it also marks the complete completion of the transformation of the Solar Storm Territory from a nascent territory to a formal mature territory.
One day, freemen were different from retainers and vassals, which was a symbol that determined the strength of the lord. The taxes they generated in the early stage did not bring much income to Adrian, but this was a sign that the territory was becoming fuller.
The arrival of the first batch of free people, to be honest, has more symbolic significance than actual significance. First of all, they will not contribute much improvement in military force to Adrian. Secondly, they cannot really give much tax revenue to Adrian, but when the second
When the third batch of freedmen arrives, or even when the hundredth and thousandth batches of freedmen arrive, that's when the creeks meet the ocean.
As the legal lord of Solar Storm, Adrian needs to personally receive these first batch of free people. This means that from today on, Adrian and his territory welcome all free people with legal status to settle here.
A matter of attitude.
The number of the first batch of freedmen was actually not large. There were about 400 families. The total number of people was more than 2,000 and close to 3,000. This was already a miraculous scale, and the number of this group of freedmen was
The level is not low. Among them are small businessmen, craftsmen and front stations sent by certain chambers of commerce. Of course, more of them are farmers and hunters. They will rent Adrian's elf farm here for farming, and will also rent Adrian's elf farm for farming.
Hunt in Ann's forest, and finally pay taxes to Adrian.
They will be allowed by Adrian to freely form villages in their own territory or directly buy tree houses in the elf town from Adrian to live in. However, for these free people who have accepted the recruitment of the rural lords and traveled a long distance,
, Adrian actually doesn’t expect them to be able to afford the tree house in the elf town. The reason is simple. Why bother to travel a long distance to this rural territory when they can take out the magic crystal to buy the tree house.
Most of the first batch of treehouses in Elf Town will be sold to those elves who come to stand in front of the Chamber of Commerce. Although they come as a family unit and are actually under Adrian's rule, they maintain relationships with various chambers of commerce.
There are thousands of connections, and as soon as they gain a firm foothold, new members of the Chamber of Commerce will join Adrian's territory in the name of free citizens.
Adrian is not worried that these chambers of commerce will be detrimental to him. In fact, all the rural lords will not have such worries. The chamber of commerce will definitely set up its headquarters in the central city of a large forest. As long as Adrian can get
If evidence is provided, all members of this chamber of commerce will immediately become Adrian's slaves, and their property will also become part of Adrian's property. Moreover, these chambers of commerce can promote the development of the territory.
They will continuously deliver all the goods needed for Adrian and his Solar Storm Territory, and also continuously transport the products in the territory to various places, exchange them for magic crystals, and eventually return them to the territory. Not only can they
Promoting the prosperity of the territory can also provide Adrian with an increasing amount of tax revenue.
Adrian stood at the feet of Rivendell, waiting to accept the allegiance of the first batch of free people. These less than three thousand lower elves and vassal races will have the honor of being close to the World Tree today. This may be the vast majority of them.
The closest one gets to the World Tree in one's life can even be used as capital to brag to future generations for a long time.
How many three thousand people there were? They crowded together in a corner of the petrified square at the foot of Rivendell. The first person to walk up was a low-level water elf dressed like a minor noble. Adrian looked at his somewhat uncomfortable expression.
With normal eyes, he immediately stopped his approach. There were no small water elf nobles in the Nibelungen or the South Wind Forest. The scope of the Solar Storm Leader's recruitment of free people this time did not expand beyond the South Wind Forest.
, but this guy still showed up despite his own efforts, which is very problematic.
Hearing Adrian's shouting, the archers acting as guards immediately stepped forward to knock down the low-level water elf nobleman, but a figure moved faster. Just when the archers were halfway through, Pabu Pabu
The little nobleman had been pushed to the ground, and two rows of sharp teeth were already hanging on his neck. If Adrian had not given the order to kill, this little nobleman would have died under the mouth of Prabhupabu.
Already.
Adrian asked calmly: "Who sent you here? Is it Bai Biyoubin or another Tide Dolani? You are really stupid. There are no water elf nobles in the South Wind Forest to serve as spies or assassins."
Or, do you think others are the same as you?"
The little water elf nobleman did not struggle. He smiled sadly at Adrian: "No one sent me here. I came here on my own. You killed my lord. I'm afraid you still don't know.
Lord Bai Bijubin has died at sea. Lord of the Foehn Wind Windfly family, I came here as a recruited free citizen. I have no intention of assassinating you or engaging in other espionage activities. In fact, I am the only one.
A man is here, do you know what I want to do?"
Adrian's expression did not change, and he still said calmly: "I guess you want to die here. You know that you don't have enough ability to assassinate me. You also know that you are almost alone now. Tide·Duo
Even if the Lennys want to deal with me, they won't do it openly, so I guess you want to die in front of me, and your accomplices elsewhere are now spreading rumors that I killed the little noble for no reason.
.”
A proud look appeared on the face of the little water elf nobleman. He smiled and said: "I originally had a very good future, but it was you who killed Lord Baibiyoubin, made him lose his status as a great nobleman, and also destroyed my life.
Struggle, a little person like me cannot cause you the slightest loss, but I still have my life and title, are you prepared for my long-standing reputation to be tarnished by me?"
Adrian still showed no change in his expression: "You are very thoughtful. In fact, if you die here, I seem to be a little unclear. Even if the Court of Order gives me justice in the end, the rumors have already spread.
, But, it’s not that I really can’t do anything to you. In my territory, I am the master, including your life. If I don’t let you die, you will definitely not die..."
