My Summons Are Weird

Chapter 15: In The Tavern, You Can Always Get All Kinds Of News

Lulutis was holding back her laughter, but it made no sense.

The conversation between the two was conducted through spiritual magic. As long as Lulutis didn’t interrupt the magic, her uncontrollable laughter would echo in Lu Yu’s mind.

“You haven’t laughed enough yet.”

“No, I want to laugh a little longer.”

Lu Yu was beaten in the face.

He was ready to buy a house, and he analyzed and answered the previous question about why Lulutis didn’t rent a house.

However, after coming to Wangcheng, I asked passers-by and they learned that the houses and land sales in Wangcheng, and even the surrounding areas, require a strict approval process.

Unwilling to give up, he came to a lively tavern nearby, and this kind of place often only needs wine to inquire about news.

After wandering around the tavern full of people for a while, Lu Yu confirmed who he was getting the information from.

In the corner of the tavern, a middle-aged man with black hair and green eyes, a face like a donkey, and a black iron-ranked adventurer brand on his chest was drinking suffocating wine to himself.

There was no appetizer on his small table.

Lu Yu walked over and sat down.

The donkey-faced adventurer was already slightly drunk, and his dark face flushed slightly.

Seeing Lu Yu sitting down, he raised his head and glanced, hiccups and was about to get up and leave.

“Are you interested in having a few drinks with me, please.”

The stiff and awkward voice made the donkey-faced adventurer turn around curiously, and a pair of green eyes looked up and down at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu didn’t say much, but waved to the tavern’s waiter and told him to have a few glasses of wine that the donkey-faced adventurer drank just now, and a plate of cold salad that was available on almost every table.

When the donkey-faced adventurer saw that Lu Yu couldn’t even pronounce the name of the dish or the wine, he just pointed to other people’s table for the wine and dish to follow, and became curious.

He didn’t hesitate, and sat back to his seat generously.

When the food and drinks were all on the table, the donkey-faced adventurer was about to pick up the wine glass with the golden yellow liquid and drink it, when he suddenly saw Lu Yu tilt his head slightly, staring at him with an unpredictable look…

“Introduce yourself… Dhaka, adventurers here usually call me, green-eyed Dhaka.”

According to the knowledge provided by Lulutis, Lu Yu knew that there are many people at the bottom who do not have full names.

One is that their level of knowledge prevents them from coming up with names with good morals.

Second, the names of local nobles often need to be avoided.

If you accidentally take a name that offends the upper-class nobles, it may be fine in normal times. If something happens, I’m afraid there will be endless trouble.

In order to avoid these problems, most people at the bottom often have only one surname, and then use various strange names as their first names.

For example, Blue Fire John, Watermark George.

Some of them don’t even care about the arrangement of their names, and they just call them John Blue Fire.

Some simply call themselves nicknames, such as the green-eyed Dhaka in front of him.

Others have names that are so strange that there is no precedent at all.

Therefore, Lu Yu doesn’t need to hide his name at all, because people here are quite accepting of strange names.

Sure enough, when Lu Yu said his name, Dhaka didn’t react at all.

For Dhaka, the name Lu Yu is not as strange as inviting him to drink.

“I know you have something to ask me… hic, uh… hic!”

After burping a few times, Daka continued with a smile, “Mr. Lu Yu, you’re not from the Yas Kingdom, are you?”

“It really isn’t.”

“If you want to know anything, just ask me to drink. I’m willing to answer one or two for you.”

“Of course, I’m just an adventurer who lives in the Kingdom of Yas. I can’t answer the secrets for you.”

Lu Yu likes Dhaka’s straightforward approach, which saves him a lot of trouble.

The first thing he wanted to know was whether it was really impossible to buy a house in King Yas King City.

“If you have this idea, let it go as soon as possible. The land and real estate around Yas King City are very tight now.”

Knowing that Lu Yu was confused, Daka explained it to Lu Yu in detail.

In recent years, Yas King City has basically regarded land and real estate as a means of reward, which is specially used to reward adventurers with outstanding contributions and knights with outstanding military achievements.

This decision is based on a helpless reality.

The monsters in the east of Yas Kingdom are rampant, and among them, the number of goblins is the largest.

These goblins built a large number of underground labyrinths in the mountains, plains, and swamps of the eastern border, multiplying and growing.

About fifty years ago, Yas I, the first king who established the Yas Kingdom, died.

Yas I was a man of great skill.

He integrated several small countries in the surrounding area, and issued an order not to allow these enfeoffed nobles to build city walls in their own territory.

In all fairness, this is a correct order to maintain the rule of Yas Kingdom.

The internal forces of the newly unified kingdom are intricate and complex, and it is already a comforting strategy for these people to have new territories.

But what if this kind of comfort makes these nobles entangled in the army, build high walls, accumulate food, and fight against the rule?

For those who were conquered and annexed and became nobles of the first-generation Yas Kingdom, this new dynasty’s elegant government was very disgusting.

It should be noted that they are also facing the harassment of monsters in their own territory.

There is no city wall to guard, they need to be careful of monsters attacking the city at all times, and they must also be careful when storing materials.

But at that time, Yas I was extremely authoritative, and the number of adventurers he held in his hands was not comparable to the number of adventurers who had just been conquered.

So they can only obey this rule.

However, times have changed, and after the death of Yas I, Yas II is far less deterrent to the surrounding nobles than Yas I.

By the time of the current Yas III, the vassals around him have actually turned their backs on their morals, but they maintain the kingdom’s territory together with a sympathetic appearance.

Lulutis couldn’t understand what Daka said had anything to do with buying a house.

Lu Yu had already guessed it.

In fact, Yas I’s decision was to weaken the vassals’ protection for the farmers in the territory, forcing the farmers to move to the more secure royal city.

After all, when there is no city wall to guard, monster looting is a common occurrence.

And the nobles are definitely unlikely to protect the property of the people. The most likely approach is to build a complete fortification in their manor to guard their wealth.

With this coming and going, the people will continue to gather in the royal city to strengthen the core strength of the kingdom.

But as the population increases, the capacity of the royal city is gradually approaching saturation, and it is impossible for all the land within the sheltered area to be used for living and farming by ordinary people.

After all, the royal family also needs to leave a certain amount of free space for trading.

Restrictions on buying and selling also followed.

Under this logic, Lu Yu felt that Yas I was a powerful person with a good head.

However, it is impossible for Wang Cheng to not be aware of the shortage of land after the population explosion.

Wouldn’t the Yas Kingdom with its enhanced core control move its people to open up wasteland?

“Of course it’s a wasteland.” Daka sighed after eating a cold salad that resembled Houttuynia cordata.

“You may not know much about the Yas Kingdom when you came to the Kingdom. Originally, there were large city-states on the Luotan Mountains and the plains in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Yas.”

“The lords of these city-states are the firmest supporters of the Yas Kingdom.”

“However, in the past ten years, city-states have fallen one after another, and there is no city to defend in the eastern border of Yas Kingdom.”

“There is fertile land and abundant products. Two generations of industrious farmers from the Yas Kingdom have cultivated and settled there.”

“I went there once when I was a child, and the gods were above. What a beautiful scenery it was.”

“On the endless plain, ripe wheat swaying in the wind in the fields…”

“…”

Lu Yu didn’t hear what Dhaka said later. Looking closely, there were tears in his eyes.

Lu Yu picked up the wine glass, touched Dhaka, and took a sip with him.

I don’t know if it’s because of the brewing process or the brewing materials. The wine is very astringent, with obvious bitterness, and it’s not even soft and refreshing at all.

But thinking that this is an inferior drink bought drunk by ordinary adventurers, Lu Yu is relieved.

“The fall of the city-state was due to the invasion of monsters, and there were also nobles who hindered it. In the end, several loyal lords were constantly defeated and forced to evacuate.”

“After the defeat, Yas Kingdom has been unable to recover the area occupied by monsters. The several siege and suppression it has organized have had little effect. After all, neither the Kingdom Knights nor the Kingdom’s direct line army has absolute force to protect the recovered ones. area.”

“The existence of the goblin underground labyrinth makes it extremely dangerous. Even re-cultivation and grazing are extravagant hopes.”

“And…and…” Daka’s face was embarrassed, he smiled embarrassingly, and pointed his finger to the top of his head.

Lu Yu understood.

If the army is going all out to recover the lost territory, then if the vassals are thinking about it, when the country is empty, who will guarantee the interests of the royal family?

Or, if in the process of recovering the lost territory, the vassals thought carefully, let the front line collapse, caused turmoil, and then became independent…

If you want to make various attempts to break the game, you must be careful whether this decision will make the situation worse, not to mention that there are multiple interests entangled in it.

So, the official of Yas Kingdom chose another plan.

Through the Adventurer’s Guild, a bounty was issued, and the good bounty was used to attract adventurers from all over the world to come here to serve, to destroy all kinds of monsters in the Eastern Territory, and to treat the best among them well, and win them over to become his help.

In general, the land and real estate in the royal city are reserved for powerful adventurers and those who can assist the royal family, and there is no way for others to obtain them.

“If Mr. Lu Yu has good strength, he can go for it.”

Dhaka, who took a gulp of wine, had a big tongue.

Lu Yu, who was across the table, ignored the shouts around him when he was drinking, and fell into deep thought.

He is simply a mortal without any power, and he is powerless to fight for it.

It seems that the plan to buy a house and live temporarily is really not going to work.

I don’t know how the renting process is. I hope it won’t be too complicated, otherwise I will really have a headache.
