In Ancient City Wei.
Wang Jue and company arrived at the territory before the refugees.
Wang Jue helped Quina down from the horse.
He then instructed the remaining soldiers to take their horses to receive the people behind.
Meanwhile, he returned to his residence.
Wang Jue took out the letter, the one he found in the bandit chief’s cabinet.
He didn’t have the time to check it at the bandit camp.
Confused, Wang Jue opened the envelope.
A black and red wooden token out.
Small characters that Wang Jue didn’t recognize were written on it. In the middle of the wooden token was a pair of black bull horns.
[Name: Minotaur’s Recommendation Token (Item)]
A hint appeared.
[Minotaurs have been friendly with the Goblins for generations. This is a token to head to the Goblin Village. You will have priority in gaining the Goblin’s trust.]
Goblins?
One of the intelligent races of this world.
After learning the use of the token, Wang Jue now understood.
Even though Wang Jue didn’t know how the bandit chief got it, since it was in his hands, it belonged to him now.
It was necessary to check out the native forces of this world.
Wang Jue opened the system map and checked the location of the Goblin Village.
It was not very far, about two hundred miles away from the territory.
On horses, they would be able to arrive within a night.
No wonder these roving bandits only set up a simple camp. It seemed like they were planning to seek refuge with the Goblins with this token.
Roving bandits were hated by everyone in any era.
If Wang Jue had arrived a day later, these bandits would have already started to leave.
At this moment, Carl and the others also arrived.
“Come here, Carl. I have a task for you.”
Wang Jue was prepared to let Carl make a trip to Goblin Village on his behalf.
It was also to examine the situation in advance.
Wang Jue put the token into the envelope and put it away.
Carl dismounted from his horse and came before Wang Jue. He bowed and asked, “What can I do for you, my Lord?”
Wang Jue said, “This is a map of the Goblin Village. Go and sound out the situation there.
“Remember not to go too deep in. Just look around nearby.”
“Yes, my Lord!”
Carl took the map and immediately walked out.
He only heard a neigh, a couple of kicks, and then Carl was galloping away.
Given Carl’s abilities, he would probably be back tomorrow night.
Wang Jue set his heart at ease.
Carl slowly left the territory.
Only then did Wang Jue remember to take care of the refugees.
Walking outside, Wang Jue looked at the refugees who were looking around and coughed twice to interrupt their whispering.
He began loudly, “Welcome to my territory, Ancient City Wei. I will provide you with lodging and food. As long as you do not betray or deceive me, I will always protect you from harm.”
When the group heard Wang Jue’s words, they slowly quietened down.
Previously, they had been worried that they were entering the tiger’s lair after leaving the wolf’s den. Now, seeing that Wang Jue’s territory was so prosperous and much larger than their previous village, everyone felt relieved.
In the territory, farmers lived in the newly built hostels.
Wang Jue tapped around the system interface and constructed a few more hostels.
The problem of accommodation for the refugees was easily resolved.
As for food, there was all the more no need to worry. The rice saplings in the farmland could already produce rice.
In addition, this new group of residents were proficient in plowing, gathering resources, sewing and other skills.
Then, Wang Jue handed the 46 people to Quina.
Quina was the person Wang Jue trusted the most at the moment. He also believed in Quina’s abilities. He believed that Quina knew what arrangements to make.
In fact, Quina did not disappoint Wang Jue.
She first led the group of refugees to eat. After they were full, she assigned them clothes and accommodation.
Then, she asked each of them what skills they were good at and assigned them to suitable positions.
She was busy all the way until late at night. When these refugees were settled in,
the development of the territory would soon form a complete ecosystem.
There were also new supplies for Wang Jue’s repository from the mine every day. There was no shortage of basic materials for construction for now.
Speaking of the mine, I wonder how Black is doing there. He must be eating happily.
Wang Jue smiled. He didn’t need to care about it for the time being.
Then, he opened the System Backpack and took out the blueprints for the buildings he had obtained today.
[Mages Guild Blueprint]
Tap to use. Use.
In the same way, Wang Jue chose a suitable open space and projected the structure outline onto it.
After a few hours, this new building would be completed.
Then, he handed the armor design to Datou for him to learn.
Ever since Datou had learned how to forge, he had displayed an indescribable passion and zeal for forging.
After receiving the new design, he was so excited that he didn’t say anything flattering. He took the design and returned to the Blacksmith Shop excitedly.
Wang Jue smiled.
Then, he gave the Imperial Chef Skill Book to Santou.
After everything was done.
Wang Jue returned to the Overlord’s Residence.
Now that he had enough experience points, Wang Jue prepared to level himself up again.
He opened the system.
[EXP: 7400]
[Current level: Level 5, Can advance to Level 6]
Level up!
Then, Wang Jue went to his attributes and checked them.
[Name: Wang Jue]

[Stamina: 20]

Wang Jue squeezed his palm and felt the changes in his body. He was growing increasingly fond of this world.
The next morning.
Wang Jue was full of spirit as he looked at the territory.
The morning sunlight shone down, the entire territory filled with vitality.
After eating breakfast, the farmers began their new day of work.
In the empty space on the left side of the Overlord’s Residence sat a Mages Guild.
After a night of construction, it was complete.
It looked like a two-story building. When Wang Jue walked in, he saw a circular platform that seemed to be an altar in the middle.
The diameter was about two meters, and the edges were made of circular stone platforms.
Wang Jue thought for a while and took out two translucent diamond-shaped crystals.
These were the Elemental Crystals that Wang Jue had obtained previously.
“Beginning convening mages.”
[Use two Elemental Crystals to recruit one Low-level Mage]
A wisp of violet light silently bloomed as a figure slowly walked out from within.
She was wearing a worn gray mage robe.
In her hand was a staff that resembled a tree root. It was taller than her.
She walked forward and went down on one knee.
“I have come in compliance with the summon.. Are you my Overlord?”
