Chapter 276 Return to Blackstone Fortress
"Are the two provinces one? Interesting." Chi Nan didn't know what he was thinking.
On the carriage, bored Chi Nan had no way to study his large tank, so he could only study some small plants, such as many plants he had collected some time ago, but he didn't have time to study them.
Although this place is not very suitable now, it can be regarded as a way to kill time. Especially some strange and special species, and some precious species, Chi Nan is studying them.
This time in the imperial capital, I am not just going to learn, but to open up the market and open up trade routes. It would be better if I could study some products that the people of the imperial capital like.
"Hey, it's all because of insufficient strength. If I have enough strength, do I still need to cooperate with these people? At that time, they will beg me." Chi Nan said to himself, and only he could hear the voice.
A few days later, the group finally arrived at the Black Stone Fortress. It was not the first time for him to come to the Black Stone Fortress. But he has only stayed here for a while and has not passed it on.
Blackstone Fortress is a large fortress in the northernmost part of Karas Province. If it hadn't been for this fortress, Karas would have become the next Remas. Until now, Karas Province is still in a state of panic, always watching Remas, fearing that something dangerous will come. Recently, it has finally calmed down.
Just approaching Blackstone Fortress, Chi Nan found that the gate of Blackstone Fortress was actually open, and there were many people here to greet. The one in the front was actually the Lord of Blackstone Fortress.
Chi Nan was stunned, and then got off the carriage. "Lord of Blackstone, why did you come out to greet me in person? I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed." Chi Nan hurriedly lowered his posture.
Originally, the Lord of Blackstone was a very high-ranking earl. After the last battle, he finally had enough merits to raise his status again and became a first-class earl in the kingdom.
In terms of status, it is higher than his own. Moreover, this is a fortress with a large number of troops, which is far beyond the comparison of his own territory. The Black Stone Fortress has more than 100,000 troops stationed all year round. When war breaks out, the number can be increased to more than 300,000 at any time. If you are of low status, you cannot be the city lord here.
"Oh, what are you talking about? Your Excellency Chi Nan is now an earl. Congratulations. We are equal in status now, and it is only right for me to greet you."
What do you mean by equal status? It is obviously one level higher than me. Chi Nan thought so in his heart, but he did not say it directly. Chi Nan decided to take a good look at what this guy wanted to do.
"This is the human city. It is indeed very prosperous and there are many people. It is still far behind our Red Sand City. Red Sand City is still the most comfortable." Milia jumped out from somewhere.
Seeing Milia, the city lord's eyes lit up and then returned to normal. "This is the half-elf member living in Hongshaling. Only Hongshaling can allow half-elves to live equally. I really envy you. Unfortunately, we want other races to live here, but no one is willing to come."
Chi Nan couldn't help but roll his eyes. He was afraid that if they came, they would become slaves directly. If it weren't for the harm done by humans to those alien races, how could those alien races be so scared of humans.
"Let's go in first. I'm just passing by this time. I believe you know it, Lord Blackstone."
The Lord Blackstone waved his hand: "Why call me Lord Blackstone? I'm only a little older than you. Just call me by my name."
With a wave of his hand, the team began to greet him. Then, Chi Nan was confused. What's the matter with the slogan "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome", why does it sound so familiar. After walking a few steps forward, someone came up to present flowers. What's going on? I just made a spoof in my own territory, how could it be learned by others.
Look at their appearance, it seems that they like it very much. By the way, the two half-elves who received the bouquets had the most obvious smiles. In the whole team, only Chi Nan looked constipated.
I should not have done this earlier. Well, now even I am framed. Chi Nan grinned and said nothing. He could only let the other party manipulate him. Anyway, it was only a short time.
Walking into Blackstone City, the guards looked straight ahead, staring at all the possible dangers around. The two half-elves looked curious and looked around, especially Milia, who asked curiously about everything she saw.
Are these two guys really guards? When the team was moving, the Lord of Blackstone was also observing them.
"Brother Chi Nan, your strength is really extraordinary. You actually have so many formal warriors. I think at least half of them are real warriors."
"No, no, I just trained them casually. You know, I'm lucky and made some money, so I trained some powerful guards for myself to protect myself."
"Brother, you can make money. This is your ability. Others can't learn it even if they want to."
The two complimented each other and walked slowly to the City Lord's Mansion. Chi Nan was a little anxious. He didn't have much time to begin with, and wasting time here was not something he liked.
When the two sat down, Chi Nan couldn't help asking, "I don't know what the Black Stone City Lord wants. If I can help, just tell me, and I will do my best."
The Lord of Blackstone was stunned. How could he get into the topic so quickly? But then he figured it out.
The Lord of Blackstone said calmly: "It's nothing big. I just want to make friends with you. You see, we are all neighbors. We can help each other. It's better to be friends than enemies, right?"
Chi Nan nodded gently, but slowly relaxed. This shows that the Lord of Blackstone has no hostility towards him, at least not on the surface, and he is asking for help from himself.
It's also a good thing to be able to connect with Blackstone Fortress. "Of course, of course, we are all neighbors." Chi Nan complained in his heart. They are separated by several days of journey and several territories in between. Can this be considered a neighbor?
"Hahahaha, brother is really straightforward. Come on, let's start the banquet. Come on, brother, this time I found some very rare food, which will definitely make you happy." The Lord of the City clapped his hands gently, and then a group of servants brought up various foods. After a closer look, there were indeed many things that he didn't recognize.
In addition to Chi Nan, his guards also sent a lot of food.
