The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Wei Yihong and the others did not come back until they fell asleep at night.

Before going to bed, Xu Lai got some bad news, but two people helped him relax today.

For him, the whole thing is happy, sweet, and tiring, and it is natural for him to have a good sleep.

When he woke up the next day, Xu Lai felt refreshed, but his bedmate last night got up early to do some work.

Xu Lai took a rare nap today. When he got up, he looked at the sky and saw that it should be around 8 or 9 o'clock.

However, just looking up, Xu Lai immediately laughed again. Since when did he start to define 8 or 9 o'clock as lazy sleep.

Today's farmers have returned to their normal work rhythm. Three of the four farms are operating normally. Under the leadership of several farmers and with Su Ya's blessing, the three farms can provide Xu Lai with about 400 units of food every day. .

After deducting the daily natural consumption, you can probably have a balance of about 200 units every day.

Therefore, the top priority today is to upgrade the two warehouses. The upgrade of the wooden building was already carried out last night, but there were few people on duty at night, so the progress was not high.

According to Xu Lai's instructions last night, Su Ya had removed most of the farmers who were upgrading the wooden houses in the morning, leaving only one construction worker for each wooden house to ensure that it could be upgraded to a house by tonight.

The remaining manpower, excluding the 6 who collected stones and the 14 who were resting, left 8 people, all of whom were assigned to upgrade the large warehouse.

The warehouse upgrade only took 12 working hours, and it only took 4 people 3 hours to complete it. In fact, with Su Ya's blessing, the two large warehouses had almost been upgraded when Xu Lai woke up.

After the upgrade, the resources piled in Xu Lai's yard were gradually moved into the warehouse, and Xu Lai found an open space near the house and built a medical clinic.

The medical center needed a priest to preside over it. After the ownership was transferred to Dong Shuqin, the medical center was actually put into operation.

Of course, Dong Shuqin is not here at this time, so the medical center's treatment capabilities will have to wait.

The medical center is not big, not even as big as a house. It is divided into three floors.

The outermost layer is used to sell various healing supplies, such as healing potions, bandages that slowly restore health and stop bleeding, healing potions that can restore burns, scrapes, sword wounds and other external injuries, etc.

Because the medical center had just been built, these medicines were still there, but only in basic quantities, which seemed to be two or three of each kind.

Xu Lai swept away all the medicines without ceremony. After all, this medical center belonged to him when it was first built, so he knew the situation of the medical center very well.

These medicines require the shopkeeper to invest resources, including gold coins, medicinal materials, and even rare resources such as crystals, to generate them. The price of the medicines after generation is also determined by the shopkeeper.

What Xu Lai was raiding at this time were basic medicines, which could be produced with only gold coins, but because they had not been modified by Dong Shuqin, they were only at basic cost prices, which were extremely cheap.

In fact, Xu Lai could have taken those drugs off the shelves before the ownership was transferred, so that he wouldn't have to spend a penny.

But it was only a few dozen gold coins anyway, and Xu Lai was too lazy to do such a thing. Besides, for Dill's sake, he now wanted to brush Dong Shuqin's favor.

Xu Lai swept away these medicines at a low price, and he could also pretend to be taking care of Dong Shuqin's business.

In fact, the money Dong Shuqin received was not even enough to cover the cost, because all transactions that occurred in Qingfeng Town would be charged one-tenth of the tax by the council.

Dong Shuqin, who received the news, hurried over. Just as Xu Lai could automatically obtain the information, so could Dong Shuqin, a hero.

Of course, she wouldn't care how much money Xu Lai spent to buy the medicines and how much tax he collected. Anyway, the money to buy the medicines was given to her by Xu Lai in vain.

This money was equivalent to extra income for Dong Shuqin. She naturally completed the final transaction with Xu Lai with a smile and gave the space backpack to Xu Lai.

So far, Xu Lai has obtained a total of 2.5 space backpacks in addition to his own, which is equivalent to an expansion of 3.5 times.

The initial space backpack probably contained more than 1,000 units of food, plus some gold coins, arrows and sundries, and that was probably enough.

Today's space backpacks can store at least 6-7000 units if all food is stored.

Of course, it is impossible for Xu Lai not to store gold coins and arrows, some spare equipment, laundry and other things, so he can store up to 5,000 units of food or resources.

With such a configuration, even if he does not have a supply truck, he can drag out a troop of about 200 people and be able to last for more than a month in the field, and the soldiers can also bear heavy loads.

If there are a large number of people, supply vehicles must still be deployed, even large supply vehicles, otherwise they will not be able to supply arrows alone.

Unfortunately, until lunch time, no news came from Wei Yihong and Jian Yuan, and no one could see them.

After doing some chores in the morning, Xu Lai spent the whole afternoon at the training ground, and even specially activated triple experience worth 5 gold coins per hour.

Even in the evening, when Wei Yihong and the others finally returned to the town, Xu Lai was not willing to waste the last half hour and did not walk out until the end of the training.

After five hours of special training in the afternoon, Xu Lai's experience bar increased to 96%. Although it was only a mere 3%, Xu Lai felt endlessly motivated when he thought about being able to level up immediately.

The faces of Wei Yihong, Urdola and others were all filled with smiles. It was obvious that they had gained a lot from this trip.

After seeing Xu Lai, Wei Yihong first apologized to Xu Lai and said, Boss, I kept you waiting for a long time.

Xu Lai shook his head and said: Anyway, there is nothing happening nearby at this stage. What are you afraid of later? It's all thanks to your hard work.

Knowing what Xu Lai wanted to know most now, Wei Yihong did not give in and reported everything:

Boss, this time we brought 700 units of wood, 300 units of stone, and more than 100 pieces of weapons and equipment left over from the previous batch, plus more than 30 antique calligraphy and paintings brought this time.

A total of one medium-sized supply vehicle, ten marching tents, 5 kilograms of salt, 1 kilogram of sugar, some tobacco, wine, tea and other supplies were exchanged from the temple.

The temple refused to give gold coins and confiscated the primary supply truck we brought back. However, they sent a priest to treat Mr. Ur.

Xu Lai ignored the supplies and said to Urdola immediately: Lao Wu, have you been cured here?

Urdola said with a flushed face: Don't worry, boss, my leg has been cured. Miss Elena is really amazing.

Elena?

Before Xu Lai could ask again, Wei Yihong smiled bitterly and said: Boss, there is one more thing I want to report to you.

High Priest Ryan said that our Qingfeng Village has been upgraded to Qingfeng Town. According to imperial law, the temple is qualified to assign a preaching priest to each village.

But our Qingfeng Village has been upgraded to Qingfeng Town, but we have never applied to the temple.

The high priest said that he understood that you were a hero and did not understand the specific policies of the empire, so he sent us a priest and two priests.

The high priest also said that according to imperial law, local lords must cooperate with the temple to build churches in their own territories.

However, the temple was short of supplies at this time and was temporarily unable to bear half of the construction costs that the church should have borne. The priests and priests who came to preside over the temple would discount this cost into the use of divine magic.

Urdola on the side said sheepishly: The priest is unwilling to charge for the treatment. He only said that it should be used as a deposit for the construction of the church.

After hearing this, Xu Lai was stunned on the spot and said: So now I have to accept that someone is going to occupy a piece of land in my town?

After Xu Lai said this, the joy on the faces of Wei Yihong and others disappeared, probably because they thought Xu Lai might be dissatisfied because of this.

After noticing this, Xu Lai laughed and said, Don't worry, this matter won't bother you, it has nothing to do with you.

At this time Urdola also explained: Boss, I have to explain to you that although High Priest Ryan forced you to build a church on your territory, there is one thing that High Priest Ryan did not deceive you.

Before the empire was divided, the temple had the right to station priests and priests on any land in the empire, and the local lords had to transfer the land. The temple would issue drawings, and each would bear half of the construction costs.

Even if the empire is divided now, the four empires still recognize the supreme status of the temple. If you are really unwilling to accept such conditions, you may offend the four empires and the temple at once.

Xu Lai smiled bitterly and said, I just sighed, I really didn't mind it.

Urdola carefully looked at Xu Lai's face and found that there was really no emotion such as anger on Xu Lai's face, and then explained:

Actually, although the temple has this right, they don't really send priests across the country. Adding all the priests in the temple together may not be enough to make up such a number.

According to the temple's custom, they have always only set up altars and churches in some important villages and towns, such as those extremely densely populated and prosperous villages and towns in the south, or villages and towns along major borders.

Xu Lai nodded knowingly and said: So Lao Wu, what you are saying is that the temple wants to set up a church here as a sign of its importance to us, right?

Urdola affirmed: This is inevitable, and I think High Priest Ryan should have no hostility towards you.

If it is to supervise the local lords, then the priests and priests sent by the temple should be mature priests who are experienced in the world.

But this time, the person sent by the temple to our town was Miss Elena, who had just grown up.

Xu Lai is familiar with Elena, and Xu Lai is also very impressed by her age. Logically speaking, such a young priest should not perform tasks alone, no matter how talented she is.

What's more, Elena is an acquaintance of Xu Lai, and may even be the outsider she meets for the first time. Xu Lai can feel this girl's affection for him.

If Xu Lai were Ryan, he would probably be more worried about his precious apprentice being abducted by Xu Lai.

After understanding this level, Xu Lai completely lost his grudge and said to Wei Yihong:

Even if the wood and stones are not valuable, we shouldn't be able to exchange just this much for bringing so many things. Didn't the temple give them any gold coins?

Wei Yihong smiled bitterly and said: The temple really didn't give it to us. They don't want our antique calligraphy and paintings. These things were traded by Aiboka to the merchants of the Stone Castle.
