Chapter 273 The Arrival of the Messenger
Early the next morning, the news that Eaton died due to excessive drinking suddenly spread throughout the Hobbit tribe. Everyone knew that the patriarch was addicted to alcohol, but they didn't expect that drinking could really kill someone.
After only a short period of sadness, the hobbits quickly accepted the reality. After all, the patriarch was gone and they could choose another one.
In the tribe, Selsi's prestige is much higher than that of Eaton. When the Hobbit tribe was in the most difficult time, it was Selsi who led everyone out of the predicament, while Eaton only inherited the position of the clan leader.
Selsey is more optimistic about Julian recently. Everyone speculates that Julian will become the next clan leader. However, some clan members are not convinced by Julian because he does not have a strong body and does not have the unique blood of the Hobbit.
Eaton's death was nothing more than tidbits of news to Li Fei. He didn't care about it. He only wanted to ensure that the Hobbit tribe would not encounter big trouble during their migration.
It took two and a half days to get out of the giant wood canyon. There was no danger on the way. Most of the hobbits were in a relatively stable mood. Only a small number of hobbits were still worried about Eaton's death, but I believe that time was
The one that can heal everything.
Most hobbits believed that tribes migrated in order to live a better life so that they would not have to worry about food all day long.
They stopped one kilometer outside Blackwood City. Li Fei provided the Hobbits with a large number of tents and allowed them to live here for a while.
Then he took only Cersi and Julian for a tour of the city, introducing them as he went.
It was Julian's first time to enter a human city, and he felt the prosperity of the big city. Everything he saw felt very fresh. It was far away from the wilderness and full of the atmosphere of civilization.
Selsi acted very calmly. In fact, if Li Fei had no strength, he would not be willing to enter into an alliance with Li Fei at all.
He took them around Blackwood City, and before leaving, Li Fei bought them some gifts, which were enough to express his importance to the Hobbit tribe.
Li Fei took a fancy to this hobbit tribe and felt that most hobbits were simple-minded and easy to control. In addition, he also wanted to use this as a springboard to attract more hobbits to come and seek refuge.
There are many mountains and few forests near Blackwood City. Li Fei had already built a city for the Hobbits, which was next to Mount Beedron.
The city is built on a mountain. The most important thing is that there is no shortage of water resources there. There is also a vast low-lying land between the mountains, which is perfect for growing crops.
The only trouble now is that the Hobbits don't know how to plant. They need to send someone to guide them. If they really can't learn it, Li Fei can only send some farmers to live with the Hobbits to help them grow food.
.
Everything is moving in the right direction. The preliminary plan made by Li Fei has been completed. Next, he plans to conquer Scott City and Amela City. After conquering these two big cities, the other big and small towns will naturally belong to him.
all.
Of course, there was no rush to conquer the two cities. On the one hand, Li Fei wanted to practice the Nine Dragons Ascension Technique, and on the other hand, he had to help the Hobbits build the city, and recruit a large number of soldiers.
However, the soldiers he recruited this time did not intend to modernize them. If all the soldiers were equipped with modern weapons, he would not be able to bear it.
The technology Li Fei masters surpasses that of the Albion world by at least a thousand years. If he is determined to build a large number of modern factories and industries in this world, then it is possible to arm all the soldiers.
But he does not intend to modernize the entire world, but to let it slowly progress according to its own historical course.
Everyone knows that advanced science has brought people a more comfortable life, but with it comes big problems such as environmental pollution, heat pollution, noise pollution, etc.
Li Fei didn't know how long he could stay in this world, and he didn't know whether he could sit on the position of king. Everything was unknown.
There are still many variables in this world. For example, a god suddenly appeared, which Li Fei couldn't deal with. There is also Jack the Crazy Knife. He is obviously more capable of dealing with it than in the game. He has several clones and even his own body.
exist.
Li Fei didn't expect that his plan was interrupted by an accident in the end, and he had to leave this world as a last resort.
Then industrialization will leave a lot of mess to the world, which will only bring suffering to the common people, so he must not do this. He still has this conscience.
Li Fei is busy with his own affairs, and his impact on the world is huge, because Albion has maintained a false peace for decades.
Those lords entertained themselves in their own territories and enslaved the people, or several lords formed a short-lived alliance to annex smaller territories, but before they could make any progress, the alliance might not be able to divide the spoils.
Issues such as uniformity will be resolved immediately.
The lords occasionally walked around among themselves to communicate with each other. In short, everyone had a good time.
Of course careerists do exist, but the cost of a war for a lord is too high. Failure in a war may lead to the betrayal of subordinates or their replacement by other nobles.
Now, with the emergence of a character like Li Fei, they all wondered whether they would become the next target, especially the lords of Coster City and Amela City. They could no longer sit still.
Two months later, the two lords sent their envoys to visit Li Fei in Blackwood City.
The envoys from the two cities brought precious gifts in several carriages, as well as beautiful dancing girls, and a letter from Duke Joffrey.
Everyone who comes is a guest, and Li Fei certainly won't turn them away. What's more, they come with gifts. No matter what, the gifts are all delicious.
And the beautiful dancer Li Fei also accepted all the orders, but not for herself, but as a gift to the Kowloon Legion soldiers who worked hard for themselves.
Li Fei had already said before that he would solve the single problem for them, and now is a good opportunity.
Li Fei ordered people to invite the envoys from both sides to the living room. After waiting for them for nearly half an hour, Li Feicai came belatedly and ordered people to pour tea for them. The due etiquette was indispensable.
Afterwards, the two envoys expressed their mutual wishes. Of course, they kept their attitudes very low and spoke in a very tactful tone, fearing that Li Fei would kill them all if he was unhappy.
It was just hearsay. They said that Li Fei was a very cruel person who would kill people at every turn.
Their purpose is relatively simple, that is, they hope that Li Fei can stop his expansion and live in peace with their lords. Their lords promise to pay tribute to Li Fei every year, whether it is gold coins or women, they can accept it as long as Li Fei asks.
.
Li Fei said with a smile: "I roughly understand why you are here, but I have a big ideal, which is to become a king, unify Albion, and let the people live a good life. Any stumbling blocks that stand in front of me will
I will smash it to pieces without hesitation."
This seems to be different from the rumors. Isn't he very cruel in the legend? Why is the other party a lord who always considers the common people?
Both of them were confused for a moment and roughly guessed that there were two possibilities.
The first possibility is that Li Fei is really the kind of person who thinks about the people wholeheartedly and is a good person.
The second possibility is that Li Fei is full of lies. The nobles are all thinking about their own interests and absolutely cannot think about the common people.
"But there is a king in Albion. What you do is tantamount to treason, and the common people suffer the most during the war."
The envoy from Coster City organized his language quickly and whispered.
"Hahaha, it's really funny. The current king is like a fictitious one. He can't command any lord at all." Li Fei said lightly, "In addition, are the people really happy under the rule of those lords? They don't have enough to eat or drink.
OK, and I will be the one to save them from their misery."
"Lord Wynn, please don't insist on your own way. This is a letter written by Duke Woodman. If you still insist on it, you will be attacked by all the lords."
The messenger from Amela City said righteously, then took out a letter and placed it on the table.
Li Fei picked up the letter casually and tore it into pieces without looking at it. He looked at the two of them and said coldly: "You don't need to say anything, my great ideal will not change. If those lords
They are so impatient that they want to provoke me as they please, but I am not afraid of them at all."
The two envoys were shocked when they heard this!
The conversation lasted to this level, almost to the point of death. Neither of the two envoys expected that Li Fei would be so resolute and would not hesitate to offend all the lords in the world. This is really crazy.
But thinking about it carefully, this also shows that Li Fei did not lie, otherwise the price of this lie would be too high.
In addition, they also felt that Li Fei's ideal was indeed very noble and only thought about the common people. People like this were either madmen or fools.
Moreover, the two of them were both from civilian backgrounds, so they naturally understood what kind of life the common people at the bottom lived. If they weren't each their own masters, they would now want to change camps and work for Li Fei.
Li Fei continued: "Go back and tell your lords, don't blame me for not giving them a chance. I will only give them a month to think about it. If they figure it out, they will take the initiative to give up the territory. If they don't figure it out, they will wait for me to ask them personally."
Want it."
Both envoys showed wry smiles. It was basically a fantasy to ask a lord to give up his territory. This negotiation was a complete failure.
After the two envoys left, Li Fei found Colstone.
The resurrection potion saved Colston's brother's life. Just as Tok said, the resurrection potion can make people reborn, but the deceased will lose all memories of his life.
Although she was a little disappointed with her brother Colston's amnesia, Li Fei fulfilled his promise, and she surrendered to Li Fei. However, until now, Li Fei has not arranged for her to do anything.
Colstone asked softly: "Lord, what do you want from me?"
Li Fei chuckled and said: "I want you to do what you are best at. I have reserved the heads of the two lords of Coster City and Amela City."
Colston bowed and said, "I understand, just wait for my good news."
Li Fei said he would give them a month to think about it, but in fact since the two people dared to come to the door, he no longer planned to give them any time.
Lu Xun once said a famous saying, life is measured in time, wasting other people's time is equal to seeking wealth and killing, wasting one's own time is equal to chronic suicide.
