My Life As A Lord In Another World Was Livestreamed - Chapter 29
Wendy immediately looked at Lin Tian.
Lin Tian said, “Let your tribe move into my tribe. I will arrange a place for you to live, but you need to work for me. I will pay you wages and be responsible for your food supply. As for the foxmen who do not have the ability to work, their food will be deducted from your tribe’s total wages.”
This plan was the most suitable one at the moment. His tribe was currently lacking manpower, and they would not be able to gather any refugees within a short period of time.
Beastmen could be considered, but they needed reliable beastmen. Greedy and cunning beastmen like the kobolds or goblins were not suitable. Wendy’s tribe was a very suitable choice. They were more hardworking, and Wendy had a high position in the tribe, so she had huge control over it.
In the past few days, Lin Tian had learned more about the situation of Wendy’s tribe through Mary. The foxes were not as big as the taurens, but their physical strength was not inferior to that of humans. Moreover, the foxes’ archery skills were generally pretty good. Their self-made bows and arrows had good fighting strength.
Lin Tian happened to be lacking archers. With more than a thousand foxes, they would definitely be able to form a small team of a hundred people. Among the rest of the foxes, at least 400 people would be able to participate in labor. Before the outbreak of the great famine, Lin Tian needed more combat power and more manpower to build the city.
Lin Tian planned to open up a separate area for the fox tribe. Compared to giving out food, this plan was much more beneficial to Lin Tian. He preferred to exchange for equal value rather than giving out donations.
Wendy’s eyes lit up. Lin Tian’s plan was indeed very suitable! However, she also had some misgivings. In the past, no beastmen tribe had ever worked for a human noble tribe.
Lin Tian naturally knew her misgivings and calmed her down. “In my tribe, as long as the beastmen follow the rules, humans are not allowed to bully the beastmen.”
Mary echoed, “Master’s plan is very good. Wendy, master has a lot of prestige in the tribe. He is also a respected mage. As long as you can control your tribe and listen to master’s orders, there won’t be any problems.”
Wendy thought for a moment and agreed. “Lord Lin Tian, thank you. We accept this plan. However, out of our gratitude to you and to make the people in the tribe respect you more, I will willingly serve you!”
As she spoke, she held a short sword in one hand and put it behind her back, while the other hand was placed across her chest. This posture was how the soldiers of the Beastmen Kingdom swore an official oath! In other words, Wendy officially swore to Lin Tian that she would protect him for life.
Mary asked, “Wendy, are you 18 yet?”
Wendy said, “I just turned 18 a few days ago.”
Mary acknowledged her response.
From their conversation, Lin Tian understood something. Wendy was strong and intelligent. She and Mary were not only excellent warriors in the Beastmen Kingdom, but they had also participated in training since their youth. They were also rare existences among the beastmen who could read.
Letting such an excellent Wendy follow him was a good thing for Lin Tian, who lacked talents. Therefore, Lin Tian gladly accepted Wendy’s oath.
Then, Lin Tian learned from Mary that beastmen warriors had to be 18 years old to officially swear an oath. In other words, although they had been fighting for the king of the beastmen, they had never taken the oath. The battles in the past were just missions for them.
They had been selected since young and had started training then. They were only about ten years old when they first killed someone. After that, they spent every year killing. Training, fighting, and killing were their past lives.
Ten minutes later, Lin Tian took out a compressed biscuit and showed Wendy how to eat it. Sje could eat it directly, dip it in hot water, or boil it.
“One small piece is enough each time. However, you have a larger number of people, so each of you can share a small piece.”
Wendy listened seriously.
After Lin Tian finished demonstrating, he picked up a backpack. This backpack contained many compressed biscuits.
All of the food stores of Wendy’s tribe had been robbed by the kobolds, but some foxmen still had a small amount of food hidden in their homes. Later on, they also harvested some immature grains, so they could last for a few more days.
From the fox tribe to Lin Tian’s tribe, Wendy would need about six days to travel back and forth. When she returned, her tribe might not have much food left. Moreover, the migration of the tribe would not be as fast as Wendy. It might take almost ten days.
Lin Tian was worried about them not having enough food, so he asked Wendy to bring a backpack full of compressed biscuits back. The compressed biscuits were very suitable for the current situation. A backpack full of compressed biscuits could at least guarantee that the thousand over foxmen could have one bite each. Moreover, a bite of compressed biscuits was enough to sustain them for a period of time.
Wendy was very grateful. “Thank you, Master!”
Lin Tian said, “You should eat something first. Rest for a while before you set off.”
Wendy refused. “Master, I want to go back as soon as possible.”
Lin Tian’s tone became firm. “This is an order. You must rest first.”
Wendy compromised. “Yes, Master.”
Under Lin Tian’s firm request, Wendy went to rest. Lin Tian took out the blueprints of the new city and began to think about how he should settle the foxmen in.
He was prepared to use tents to let them settle down first. Each family would have a tent, and there would be about a few hundred tents. Thinking of this, he went out and called over a dozen people. He asked them to flatten the empty land between the current castle and the small town and build two rows of toilets within the next few days.
He planned to temporarily place the foxmen near the castle so that he could observe them as he wished.
A few hours later, the night gradually turned dark and Wendy woke up from her sleep. Having had sufficient rest, she was full of energy. With Lin Tian’s help, she carried her backpack.
In Lin Tian’s original world, she looked like a student, full of youth and vitality. Though here, the burden on her shoulders was much greater than the students.
Wendy said goodbye to him. “Master, I’m leaving.”
Lin Tian nodded. “Alright, have a safe journey.”
Wendy nodded and left in the darkness of the night.
The next day, Lin Tian could finally cash out the rewards from Dowyin. It had been more than a month since he transmigrated. There were many viewers in the livestream who had been following him from the beginning until now.
It was Lin Tian’s first time withdrawing nearly two million yuan. He was relatively frugal, so he was able to survive this month. Of course, another reason was that the wages of the workers could be settled with the gold coins of this world.
During this month, most of his money was used to buy cement. With today’s cash withdrawal, he could use it to buy more things. This time, he could withdraw around 15 million yuan. If he had not transmigrated, such an income could already be ranked in the top ten in Dowyin.
He also noticed that the Dowyin Operator Li Miaomiao person often gave him cloud-piercing arrows. She probably wanted to contact Lin Tian to discuss the signing of the contract with him..
