Chapter 304: Appointment Scroll
After receiving the allegiance and support of Molga, Li Ran held an emergency meeting that night and announced several decisions to everyone in the village. While converting the existing village into a military stronghold, the village center will also be moved to the Moches Mountains, where a brand new village will be established. At the same time, all hunters will be ordered to set off, search and patrol all the forces around who can threaten the village, and watch their movements at any time in case of emergency.
Some people in the village expressed their discomfort about the decisions of the new leader Li Ran. Fortunately, the old village chief Molga stood on Li Ran's side again and told the villagers the benefits of this move. Out of trust in the former old village chief, the villagers slowly dispersed...
After waiting until the villagers finished walking, Li Ran and others returned to the village hall. Moorga looked at Li Ran and asked with some concern: "I understand that a small village like you is definitely not satisfied, but have you ever thought about it? The dangers brought by such blind expansion are too great, and now it seems that the materials we prepared for construction are far from enough!"
Li Ran nodded and expressed his understanding of the old village chief Mogar with his actions. At the same time, he turned around and looked at the reporter Dorik and said to him: "Thank you for your reminder, and this reminder is very timely. However, you don't need to worry about the construction of village materials for the time being. When Master Dorik completes my appointment, I will go out through the lord teleportation function given by the heart of the village and town. When I come back, I will try to bring as much materials as possible!"
Morga said with an Oh, "The teleportation function of the Heart of the Village can only be used once a week, so you will have to come back within a week at the earliest. What should we do during this period?"
Li Ran pondered for a while, and suddenly asked Dorik: "Master, according to your speculation, when will I get my appointment?"
Seeing Li Ran ask, Dorik immediately replied: "I have passed the appointment yesterday. If you are in a hurry, I can try to urge my friends in the city. If nothing unexpected happens, I should get it within ten days!"
Li Ranen looked at him and said, "Then please try to help me urge you. You and I will go with me tomorrow morning to choose the address of the village building. I need your advice in this regard!" As he said that, Li Ran looked at the people around him, including the old village chief Molga, Master Dorik and the elderly in the surrounding villages!
"Do I want to go too?" Dorik asked in surprise. Although he was nominally a clerk sent by the Empire, in the eyes of other people in the village, it was nothing more than a tax manager who asked for taxes. In addition to having some communication with the old village chief Molga on weekdays, the villagers never liked him. He knew his identity and was also in a day to live and never took the initiative to ask about other things in the village.
But what he didn't expect was that this new leader would call him such a major issue in choosing a new village, which made him feel a little flattered. While throwing a thankful look at Li Ran, his body, which had always been grudging, also stood up a little.
Next, Li Ran chatted with Morga and others for a while, and roughly explained his ideas and architectural distribution of the new village. At the same time, he listened carefully to the opinions and ideas of Morga and others, and made some improvements to the village. Here, I have to say that Dorik is a good person from the main city, and he has put forward a lot of opinions on the village pattern drawn by Li Ran on paper. Except for a few unrealistic ones that were rejected by Li Ran, most of them were accepted by Li Ran and used on the new pattern. This is undoubtedly a affirmation for Dorik.
The next morning, after Li Ran arranged the reconstruction of the current village to the stronghold, he brought Molga, Dorik and others to the Leicester Mountains, and it took another whole day to establish the location for the construction of the village.
Early on the third morning, Li Ran took everyone in the village to go out and spent a day building a simple village hall under the Leicester Mountains.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, under the protection of everyone, Li Ran carefully moved the village center the size of a basketball from the original village to this simple village hall, and ordered everyone to build two simple whistle stations around it on the same day, spending a dangerous night.
In the next two or three days, Li Ran asked everyone to go out together, and established the first defensive line based on the Leicester Mountains behind it. At the same time, he ordered only a dozen hunters to patrol the village day and night, alerting to all possible dangers.
At dusk on the ninth day, Li Ran, who was leading the villagers to carry logs, suddenly heard someone calling him loudly behind him. When he turned around, he found Doric running towards him, holding a sheepskin scroll in his hand. At this moment, Li Ran couldn't help but feel silent.
"Sir, your appointment has arrived!" Dorik shouted loudly when he was far away.
Li Ran couldn't help but smiled slightly, looking at Doric, who was getting closer and closer to his face, until he came to him, he patted his shoulder hard, and then took the sheepskin scroll he sent.
Just as the scroll was opened, Li Ran heard a prompt from the system and officially became a citizen of the Khanlok Empire, owned his own land, became a lord, and was given the authority to establish a 50-person guard group.
Staring at the sheepskin scroll in his hand, Li Ran took a long breath again. The hard work of so many days was not in vain. If the calculations were not bad, today should be the New Year's Eve, and he had not been sleeping for more than two days.
However, Li Ran did not feel sleepy at this time. With this appointment, his lord's identity was truly established. If his lord's identity was announced by the old village chief Moorga with his personal reputation, it was equivalent to an oral agreement. Now with this sheepskin scroll, Li Ran is the veritable lord of this village and has the right to decide everything, not to mention that his current military limit has reached fifty people.
"Thank you for your hard work, Master Dorik!" Li Ran smiled at Dorik and said with a smile.
"Sir, you are so polite. This is something that I, as a reporter, can do!" Doric bowed slightly and said softly and modestly.
Li Ran laughed and said, "Master Dorik is so polite. You and I have the same identities. They are both outsiders who joined here later, but their lives are impermanent. Since we are already here at this moment, we are a family. If the master is willing, after you retire, I will invite you to join my village, as long as you don't dislike it!"
Doric looked at Li Ran deeply. The man in front of him had a dark and difficult-to-understand identity, unpredictable skills, and unconcealed ambitions and ruthless means. At the same time, he was also good at observing and using people. These were all basic conditions that a lord should have. So he quickly smiled and said, "Thank you for your trust, and as a reporter who has been here for many years, I naturally hope to do more for the village! As for staying in the village, it depends on whether this old bone can move after I retire, haha!"
Li Ran looked at him. For people like Dorik, returning to the empire is only a free job at most. If he develops well, he may stay. If he does not develop well, he will at least make himself safer when he returns to the empire. So after all, Dorik's stay or not is actually his own problem.
After figuring this out, Li Ran didn't say anything else and ordered the correspondent to call Molga and several other elderly people from the village to the new but somewhat simple village hall. He transferred his authority and shared some of the authority with these people so that they could better lead the villagers to protect the village.
Next, Li Ran announced that he was going out for a few days, so he handed over all the materials on him to Molga and ordered him to urge the whole village to build. This arrangement showed that it was very suitable for Molga. Looking at the large amount of construction materials in the storage backpack, the former old village chief nodded excitedly and kept saying goodbye to complete the task.
Just as everyone was about to leave the meeting, Li Ran summoned all the troops he had prepared in advance in front of everyone. In addition to the two Maruke warriors he had been with him, Dagennai, Tristan, and the God of Lamp Topol, he summoned twenty seventh-level iron men and some mages and the God of Lamp.
