Chapter 8 8: Merlot

Listening to Essien's report, Aslan's eyes narrowed slightly, with an inexplicable gleam in them.

This Wood Village was the first village to fight against the town of Melo in the previous life. Their population was about the same as that of Max Village, but they had trained six intermediate swordsmen, including an apprentice magician.

This is also the reason for their arrogance, and they even want to replace the town of Melo and become orthodox.

Aslan sat on the main seat, resting his chin on his right hand, tapping on the armrest of the chair with his left hand, and said after a long time, "Essien Township Order, tell me your opinion."

Essien couldn't answer Aslan's question for a while, he said yes or no, and the town of Melo was unable to resist the attack of Wood Village.

"Well! We still need to think about it in the long run." Essien thought for a long time before giving such an answer.

"Hehe, it seems that Essien Township still doesn't want to believe me." Aslan stood up expressionlessly and said.

After hearing this, Essien turned pale immediately, but after opening his mouth, he still didn't make a sound in the end.

Obviously, the people in Melo Town still don't believe that Aslan has the ability to fight against Wood Village, they are too strong.

For a long time, Essien didn't want to admit that the reason why the town of Melo can still maintain its complete independence is that the offerings sent by Brother Claude on time every month are indispensable.

Essien really wanted to persuade Aslan to agree to Wood Village, but he didn't need to give fifty catties, it was completely possible to bargain.

But when he wanted to say something, he immediately swallowed it when he saw Aslan's falcon-like eyes.

He didn't think the lord was such a talkative person.

When everyone dispersed, Aslan was still sitting firmly on the chief seat. Wilson slowly packed up his things, and did not go to Aslan until only he and Aslan were left in the conference hall. in front of.

"My lord! Is there a way for this subordinate to deal with this matter?"

"Oh!" Aslan immediately showed an enthusiastic attitude.

In the previous life, this matter was also the idea of ​​Wilxin to Aslan, and it was the same in this life, except that in the previous life, about half a year after he came to the town of Melo, Claude deliberately embarrassed him and encouraged Wood Village to find Aslan. Silan's troubles, this life is because there is no mediation from Claude, which makes Wood Village's ambitions rapidly expand.

Aslan knew very well that the reason why Claude was able to persuade Wood Village was because of the strength of the Armored Bandits.

"We can join forces with Laianning Village. Laianning has been eyeing Wood Village for a long time." After Wilson finished speaking, he bowed respectfully and left.

Aslan showed a mysterious smile, and when night fell, he secretly took Arthur directly to Leaning Village, and he said very straightforwardly: "I need help, twenty catties of salt per month is enough to satisfy you needs of the village.”

Le Anning stared at Aslan for a long time, he had more or less received the news that the guys in Wood Village were indeed a bit too much.

"The price is not enough." Leaning shook his head and said.

"Enough is enough. Gaining my friendship is your greatest benefit. Believe me, within a year, I will be able to create a brand new town of Merlot, no! It should be called Merlot City, when you I will understand how wise your actions are now." Aslan said firmly.

Looking at Aslan's serious and determined eyes, Leaning suddenly had the illusion that he really wanted to believe him.

"You are so confident."

Aslan nodded: "I was born for this place. As long as you help me now, you barbarians will no longer be aliens in the future, but members of my city of Melo, a member of the mighty Melo army."

Laianning looked at Aslan in a daze.

This pie is a bit big. Anyway, the barbarians have been rooted in the Melo area for decades, and they have never heard of such an "unrealistic" dream.

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Although the overall intelligence of barbarians is slightly lower than that of humans, it does not mean that they are mentally handicapped, especially for barbarians like Leaning who have reached advanced swordsmen, their intelligence is no different from that of ordinary people .

"Aren't you willing to stay here for the rest of your life, and don't want to regain the glory of the barbarians?" Aslan said more and more excitedly.

In fact, this was Aslan's understanding of Laianning in his previous life. On the surface, he had no interest in anything other than making everyone in the tribe have enough to eat.

In fact, Leaning wanted to get rid of this situation wholeheartedly, because he knew very well that once there was a force to unify the Melo area, they, as alien races, would be the first to be purged.

But in the case of the barbarians, a group of big appetites, and no village can afford them, coupled with their alien identities, they are easy to be targeted by the joint, so they have to take a neutral stance all the time.

For Laianning, Aslan is an opportunity, an opportunity to break the current balance.

"What can you give me?" Leaning asked as he placed the bone stick beside Aslan.

His attitude was very obvious. If the answer did not satisfy him, Aslan would definitely not be able to leave here alive today.

Seeing this familiar scene, Aslan smiled happily.

"I can let your family join Merlot City and become citizens of Merlot City. As long as you don't rebel, you can enjoy citizenship treatment for generations." When Aslan said this, Leaning had already put his hand on the bone stick. Lan was not afraid at all, and continued: "I want to build a country without racial discrimination, no matter if it is a barbarian, a halfling, or even an orc, where they only have one name, the Merlot."

Leaning unconsciously moved his hand aside, opened his mouth into an O shape, and looked at the boy in front of him in disbelief.

His ideal is so great, so great that he finds it unbelievable.

Now the entire continent is respected by the human race. Although the strength of other alien races is still not to be underestimated, more than 70% of the continent is occupied by humans. In many powerful empires, alien races are actually synonymous with slaves.

Leaning had to admit that even though the big pie drawn by Aslan was illusory, he still wanted to believe it.

"To put it simply, just rely on the small town of Melo with a population of less than 500." Although Le Anning was moved, he still didn't believe it, and he would not overwhelm the entire tribe on Aslan.

"Of course it doesn't work now, but what about the entire Melo region? Or the entire Kingdom of Cleveland." Aslan stood up with a smile and said.

Le Anning was a little surprised by Aslan's ambition, and it took him a long time to say, "What do I need to do?"

"Don't get me wrong, I just want to see your determination and ability."

Aslan smiled heartily, put his hands on the table, stared into Leaning's eyes and said, "Let me attack Wood Village at night. After you succeed, all the food in Wood Village will be yours, while the land and population will be yours." It’s mine, and as for other forces’ pursuit, I, Melo Town, will bear it all.”
