Rise of the Plants

"Are the two provinces one family? Interesting." Chi Nan didn't know what he was thinking.

On the carriage, the bored Chi Nan had no way to study his large tank, so he could only study some small plants. For example, he had no time to study many of the plants he had collected some time ago.

Although this place is not very suitable now, let's just regard it as a way to pass the time. Especially some weird and special species, as well as some rare species, Chi Nan is studying.

This time I went to the Imperial Capital not only to study, but to explore the market and open up trade routes at the same time. It would be better if we could research some products that the people of the Imperial City would like.

"Hey, it's all because of lack of strength. If I have enough strength, do I still need to cooperate with these people? They will be the ones begging me then." Chi Nan said to himself, with a voice that only he could heard.

A few days later, the group finally arrived at the Blackstone Fortress. This was not the first time for him to visit the Blackstone Fortress. But it has only stayed here for a while and has not been passed on.

Blackstone Fortress is a large fortress in the northernmost part of Karas Province. If this fortress hadn't been there last time, Karas would have become the next Remas. Until now, the province of Karas is still in turmoil. They are always keeping an eye on Remas, for fear that something dangerous will come over. Recently, it has finally calmed down.

Just approaching the Blackstone Fortress, Chi Nan discovered that the gate of the Blackstone Fortress was actually open, and there were many people here to greet him. The one at the front is actually the city lord of Blackstone Fortress.

Chi Nan was stunned for a moment, and then got off the carriage. "Lord of Blackstone City, why did you come out to greet me in person? I'm so ashamed of myself. I'm so ashamed of myself." Chi Nan hurriedly lowered his stance.

Originally, the Lord of Blackstone City was a very high-status earl. After the last battle, he finally made enough achievements to raise his status again and became a first-class earl in the kingdom.

In terms of status, he is higher than himself. Moreover, this is a fortress with a very large number of troops, far beyond what can be compared to our own territory. The number of troops stationed here in Blackstone Fortress is more than 100,000 all year round. When the war breaks out, it can be increased to more than 300,000 at any time. If the status is low, you cannot be the city lord here.

"Oh, what are you talking about? Your Excellency Chi Nan is now also an earl. Congratulations to you. We are of equal status now, so I should come to greet you."

What does equal status mean? It's obviously a level higher than mine. Chi Nan thought this in his heart, but did not say it directly. Chi Nan decided to take a closer look at what this guy wanted to do.

"This is a human city. It is indeed very prosperous and there are many people. It's just far behind our Red Sand City. Red Sand City is the most comfortable." Milia jumped out of nowhere.

Seeing Milia, the city lord's eyes lit up, and then returned to normal. "This must be the half-elf member living in Red Sand Ridge. Only Red Sand Ridge can allow half elves to live equally. I really envy you. Unfortunately, we want to let other races live here, but no one is willing to come. .”

Chi Nan couldn't help but almost rolled his eyes. He was afraid that if he came, he would immediately become a slave. If it weren't for the harm caused by humans to those alien races, how could those alien races be so scared when they see humans?

"Let's go in first. I'm just passing by this time, and I believe you, Lord Blackstone, also know that."

The Lord of Blackstone City waved his hand: "What are you calling the Lord of Blackstone City? I'm bigger 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 up with that slogan "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome"? Why does it sound so familiar? After taking a few steps forward, someone came up to lay flowers. What was going on? I just pranked it once in my own territory, how could someone learn from it?

From the looks of them, they seem to like them very much. By the way, the two half-elves who received the bouquet had the most obvious smiles. Among the entire team, only Chi Nan looked as if he was constipated.

If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have done this. Well, now I'm even trapped in it. Chi Nan grinned but said nothing and could only let the other party control him. Anyway, it's only for a while.

Walking into Black Rock City, the guards stared intently at all possible dangers around them. The two half-elves looked around with curious faces, especially Milia, who was curious to ask about anything they saw.

Are these two guys really guards? As the team moved around, the Lord of Blackstone City was also observing them.

"Brother Chi Nan, your strength is really extraordinary. There are so many official warriors. I think at least most of them are."

"No, no, I just trained casually. As you know, I have better luck and made a little money, so I trained myself some powerful guards so that I can protect myself."

"Brother, if you can make money, that's your ability. Others can't learn it if they want to."

The two people complimented each other and slowly walked to the city lord's mansion. Chi Nan was a little anxious. He didn't have enough time to begin with, and he didn't like wasting time here.

After the two people sat down, Chi Nan couldn't help but ask: "I don't know what the Lord of Blackstone City has to do. If I can help, just say it and I will do my best."

The Lord of Blackstone City was stunned, why did he get into the topic so quickly. But then he figured it out.

The Lord of Blackstone City said calmly: "It's not a big deal, I just want to make friends with my brother. You see, we are all neighbors and can help each other. It's better to be friends than enemies, right? .”

Chi Nan nodded slightly, but slowly relaxed. This shows that the Lord of Blackstone City has no hostility towards him, at least not on the surface, and he is asking for it 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. We are several days away and there are several territories in between. Can these be considered neighbors?

"Hahahaha, my brother is really happy. Come on, let's start the banquet. Come on, my brother, I have found some very rare food this time, which will definitely make you happy." The city lord clapped his hands gently, and then a group of attendants gathered each other. The food was brought up. If you look carefully, you will see that there are many things that you don't recognize.

In addition to Chinan, someone from his own guards also sent a lot of food.
