Chapter 418: Acting City Lord
Green City was a forest city and the difference between a city and a tribe was that the cities were more open, with more free trade markets and different races.It was similar to the various sized small towns within the forest. However, the city management was more strict and only qualified merchants or city recognized adventurers could enter.
Green City had been managed by the gnomes for five hundred years, so the people with residence qualification, store ownership, business qualification, and entrance qualifications for different merchants, races, and influences was not small.
A forest city mainly earned its revenue from the taxes for business and residence.Green City accounts were much higher than people on the outside. The disturbance this time, it was impossible for others not to know.Currently, in the taverns, various merchants, adventurers, and gnomes were all talking about this matter.
“Hey, guys, do you know?”A gnome businessman said in an exaggerated manner, “A large fight almost erupted in Green City just yesterday!”
Another forest merchant nodded, “That’s right, that’s right.Green City is too unsafe right now, can we come back and have good business in the future?It’s said that the surrounding tribes are rebelling and it seems like Green City is barely hanging on.It’s better to just throw away our goods and run.”
“You can all be assured.”A local gnome in the tavern quickly explained everything.After all, the main revenue for Green City were these caravans, so if they lost faith in Green City, it would be a large blow to the gnomes, “This crisis was caused by the Shamans and the Shamans have already lost most of their power, so there is no threat anymore.”
Another gnome added, “Green City has already opened our warehouses to the local tribes to help with the dangers of the famine for the local tribes.Although Green City will lose quite a bit, after this, the surrounding tribes will all be more united. When invaders come in the future, we will be able to unite against these enemies!”
The forest merchants all had bitter expressions.
Who doesn’t know your Green City is already crumbling away.Even if you survive this time, can you survive the next time?
An adventurer with inside knowledge asked, “That’s right, I’ve heard that Green City didn’t suffer much damage all because of the help of a mysterious human.Otherwise Green City would have had to pay a large price to solve this crisis, how could they be undamage like now!”
“Is that true?Where did this human come from?To have this kind of skills, why have I never heard of them before!”
A gnome scratched his head and said, “My grandfather is a Green Religion priests and he has seen this human before.He was called…..Chu Tian? Anyway, it’s a human who’s not even twenty years old.”
This name was indeed unfamiliar to the forest locals.They had never heard of this person doing anything in the forest, so these people were very shocked to hear that Chu Tian could solve this disaster for Green City.
But they were clearly startled a little too early.
At this time, another adventurer charged into the tavern.He was holding an announcement just issued by the Green City gnomes with a strange look on his face as he shouted, “Damn, something big has happened!Quickly come and see this!”
“What mischief is Hansen up to?”
“Could it be there will be war soon?”
There was a stir in the tavern as all the merchants began to discuss.They immediately took the announcement from the adventurer’s hands because they wouldn’t know if they didn’t look.When they saw the contents, everyone’s eyes almost popped out.
“What is written on it?”A person anxiously shouted, “I don’t understand the gnome language!Quickly translate it for me!”
“This is the most recent news!”
“That human’s true identity has been revealed, he is the Green City City Lord personally appointed by the Eternal Forest’s Elven King!”
“My god!”
“Is this true?”
“Is the Elven King’s head broken!”
Everyone cursed out and everyone knew Green City couldn’t be held, but there they had obtained some secret information.The Eternal Forest had wanted to claim this territory, so these people have all calmed down. As long as the Eternal Forest took over Green City, with the strength of the elven army, Green City would have the chance to prosper again.
In the end?
The Elven King had accepted it and give it to a human.
Wasn’t this a joke?If the elven army did not come, how could a foreign human possibly stabilize the situation?
“There is more, there is more!”
“Green City’s acting City Lord Clark has already taken the initiative to resign and is now studying as part of the Green Religion’s priest laboratory.He made the decision to allow that human Chu Tian to become the new acting City Lord!”
“The announcement states that from this day forth, the human Chu Tian has already taken over the City Lord’s Castle and is already planning to control all of Green City’s business!”
This truly was shocking!
It was like a bomb exploding in their mouths!
It made people unable to close their mouths.Was this a joke? It was fine if Eternal Forest was just trying to cause trouble, but were the gnomes also causing trouble with them?
“There is a bit of news.This human was the leader of a small influence on the edge of the Forest of Chaos and is a merchant from a small company.He came here alone to become Green City’s City Lord.”
