Chapter 344: Chapter 341: The Secret of the Lord’s Descent
When the ssage from the King arrived, it was already the next morning.
Lin You was very surprised that Ji Xinghe personally sent him a ssage.
What surprised him even more was the content of the ssage.
Ji Xinghe wanted him, in five days, to represent the Great Wilderness Duchy and head to the Lower Realm Area to recruit the newly promoted Tier Six Lords.
Just like when he was recruited himself.
"Is it already ti to recruit newcors again so soon?"
Lin You silently looked up at the sky, sowhat dazed.
Generally speaking.
New lords descend once a month in a small recruitnt, and every three months in a large recruitnt.
Now that the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms has just ended, all realms have surely lost quite a few lords, and this should be the ti to recruit new lords to replenish the ranks.
Entrusting him with such a matter that concerns the destiny of the nation, the King’s ideas are truly inscrutable.
But this is also good.
He can recruit so good seedlings for the Great Wilderness Kingdom.
With a strong national destiny, the developnt of his territory will naturally benefit.
But before this, he must make a trip to the Elf Empire to resolve the issue of the Royal Species.
Thinking of this, Lin You left his territory and headed towards Yellow Sand City.
At this mont.
In the flying dock outside the forest.
People ca and went, bustling with activity.
rchants were loading and unloading goods, waiting for the airship to arrive.
Before long.
A Magic Energy Airship sliced through the clouds, slowly approaching from afar with the deck full of passengers.
"Is this Yellow Sand City?"
At the edge of the airship, Zong Lei and Wang Chende stood together, curiously observing the vast forest below and the bustling comrcial area and market outside the forest.
"I visited here a few years ago and didn’t expect it to have developed to such a degree," Wang Chende said with a surprised expression.
"To be able to manage this place like this, Lin You, my younger brother, really has so skill," Zong Lei couldn’t help but praise.
Although Yellow Sand City is currently smaller compared to the established Tier Eight Lords’ domains.
But he could see the potential of this frontier city and estimated that it would develop soon.
Especially now with Lin You’s growing fa, and the King holding him in high regard.
It’s hard not to develop under such circumstances.
"Huh? There are Dwarves here?"
Suddenly, a voice of curiosity ca from beside them.
The accompanying Mo Wei was looking surprised at the dwarves below in the dock market, who were helping to construct houses.
His voice also attracted the attention of Zong Lei and the others.
"There really are Dwarves, and more than one," Zong Lei noted.
"It was said even before by the caravans passing through that Yellow Sand City had Dwarves, I didn’t expect there to be so many. Could Yellow Sand City be connected to the Dwarf Kingdom?"
Zong Lei’s eyes sparkled, and he couldn’t help but look towards the distant mountains.
He just happened to see a squad of Dwarf Warriors patrolling outside the mountains, with waves of scorching air emanating from the mountains.
"That is... a Dwarf Tribe!"
Zong Lei, being who he was, imdiately recognized the unusual presence of the mountains with his exceptional perception and vision, and exclaid.
"Is there actually a Dwarf Tribe here?"
Wang Chende and Mo Wei also looked towards the mountains in surprise.
Although the Dwarf Race isn’t like the Elf Race, which resists and loathes the Human Race.
They rarely interact with other races.
Let alone the entire tribe moving into human territory, sothing many people couldn’t even imagine.
"This Lin You, my younger brother, is even more extraordinary than I thought."
Zong Lei exclaid in surprise before gradually withdrawing his gaze.
Beside him, Wang Chende and Mo Wei also had looks of astonishnt deepening in their eyes.
Then.
They continued observing the surroundings from the deck, examining every part of Yellow Sand City inside and out.
Until the airship landed and ca to a steady stop at the dock, they disembarked with their teams, arriving at the platform of the flying dock.
The rchants and passengers who were waiting to co and go widened their eyes upon seeing them.
"Am I seeing things? That looks like the Lord of Central Plains City, Zong Lei, and the Lord of Dongyou City, Wang Chende?"
"It seems to be them! What are the two of them doing here?"
"Central Plains City and Dongyou City are among the most prosperous cities in the duchy. You can’t even catch a glimpse of these big figures on usual days!"
"It seems like they ca specifically for a visit?"
"Look quickly! Manager Xue of Yellow Sand City is coming over with people!"
A shout of surprise made everyone turn their heads.
Sure enough, they saw Xue Changgui hurriedly approaching from a distance with a ceremonial guard, opening up a special passage on the flying dock.
Xue Changgui, accompanied by Wei Gang, quickly made his way through the crowd to Zong Lei and the others.
"I am Xue Changgui, the General Manager of Yellow Sand City, here to welco the two city lords and esteed guests from afar. I apologize for not coming sooner, please forgive ."
Before the airship was about to dock, Xue Changgui had already received the transmission from the airship.
Upon hearing that friends of the Lord were visiting, arrangents were imdiately made to receive them.
The group of Zong Lei, who were still observing their surroundings, suddenly showed a hint of surprise.
They did not inform Lin You in advance before coming here.
The general manager of Yellow Sand City is surprisingly efficient and responsive.
Imdiately, Zong Lei waved his hand with a smile, "It’s fine, is your lord at ho?"
"In response, sir, our lord is inspecting the city right now. I have already sent soone to notify him."
"Alright, take us over there."
Just like that.
The entire entourage, led by Xue Changgui, majestically made their way into the city.
The large team imdiately drew countless onlookers from afar.
Upon realizing that the visitor was the kingdom’s renowned Tier Eight Lord, the crowd erupted in exclamations.
Soon after.
The entourage made their way through the forest and arrived outside Yellow Sand City.
Having received the ssage and waited for their arrival, Lin You approached them with a beaming smile.
"Brother Zong Lei, I didn’t expect you to co in person. Why didn’t you notify
beforehand?"
"Haha, I intended to surprise you, but I didn’t expect your people to react so quickly." Zong Lei also laughed heartily as he approached Lin You.
Accompanying him were Wang Chende and Mo Wei.
When Lin You saw Mo Wei following behind him, he was montarily taken aback.
"Elder Mo? Is it really you!"
Lin You held deep mories of the person who initially recruited him into the Great Wilderness Kingdom.
He never imagined they would et again in this manner.
"It’s been a while, hasn’t it?"
Mo Wei smiled awkwardly.
The young man, whom he once thought little of at Tier Six, had now grown to a level even he had to look up to.
His emotions were indescribably complex.
"Yes, it has indeed been a long ti since we’ve seen each other," Lin You nodded with emotion. "I had thought of visiting you myself soon to thank you for your initial kindness."
"Oh, it was just a small gesture back then, especially since I placed you in such a remote area."
Mo Wei beca even more embarrassed, though a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
"Whether remote or not, it’s still a place. It’s better than the other duchies that shunned ." Lin You shrugged, unconcerned, then turned to Wang Chende.
"And who might this be?"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is my neighbor, Lord Wang Chende of Blazing Fire City, who thought it convenient to co visit today." Zong Lei introduced from the side.
"Ah, it’s Brother Wang, a pleasure to et you." Lin You greeted politely.
Since both were older than him, addressing them as brothers was perfectly amiable.
Seeing his politeness, Wang Chende quickly responded, "Not at all, it’s we who are intruding."
Thanks to Zong Lei and Mo Wei, he had successfully connected with Lin You.
He was genuinely delighted within, his face beaming with smiles.
However, they all tactfully avoided ntioning Lin You’s ascension to the top of the Tier Eight list and his impressive feats on the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms.
Discussing it openly would only make their intentions seem impure.
After all, everyone understood the situation well enough, no need to clarify it explicitly.
"Alright, no need to stand around, let’s head to my city for so tea."
Lin You also had matters he needed to discuss, and these individuals arrived at just the right ti.
So soon, the entire entourage slowly made its way into the city under his guidance.
Along the way, Lin You inquired about the recruitnt of new lords.
Zong Lei and the others were already inford through other channels before their arrival, so they weren’t surprised.
Only to hear Zong Lei say with a smile, "No need to worry, my brother. Recruit according to your preferences. Given the King’s high regard for you, he surely wouldn’t mind."
"However, there’s one thing worth noting."
"Since this is a major recruitnt after the war, competition between nations will be significant. Representatives from neighboring empire duchies and kingdom subduchies are likely to join us."
"Others from neighboring empire kingdom subduchies will also join?" Lin You asked in surprise.
"Yes, every ti after the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms, surrounding duchies unite with us to allocate resources to the Lower Realm Area, quickly promoting nurous Tier Six lords. Naturally, recruitnt is conducted jointly, significantly expanding the scale."
"Whether or not we can recruit promising talents will depend on each of our abilities, representing healthy competition between the kingdoms and duchies."
Zong Lei, a seasoned lord within the duchy, comprehended the situation thoroughly.
He quickly resolved many of Lin You’s doubts.
So it turns out.
Before recruiting new lords,
nations would allocate resources to the Lower Realm Area.
This would expedite the promotion of many Tier Six lords.
However, speaking of cultivating new lords.
A longstanding doubt that had puzzled Lin You resurfaced, prompting him to ask, "I have always had a question."
"When our group was gathered, we were told about the destruction of the Ten Thousand Realms."
"But here on the continent, there are so many lords who arrived before us. Why is that?"
According to the system prompt he received upon his arrival in this world, the dinsion they occupied had supposedly been destroyed simultaneously.
In simpler terms, it was as if ten thousand universes of different origins were destroyed simultaneously.
If they were only destroyed until their arrival, how did the earlier lords co?
So even have histories spanning tens of thousands of years, possibly longer.
This was truly perplexing.
It was sothing Lin You had never been able to understand.
