He looked at the choices that appeared before him.

Lin Ye made his choice swiftly.

“I choose option 1 for the first and option 2 for the second!”

These two options are related.

The reason for him choosing the Class 3 Elemental Ranger.

It was because the barracks had already unlocked the blueprint for Class 1 Rangers.

He had a lot of resources and could recruit a large number of Class 1 rangers.

As for the 100 Class 1 blacksmiths, they were chosen in preparation for the army of Class 1 rangers.

Arrow consumption was a big problem.

He did not have the recruitment order for the blacksmiths, so he could only make use of strength in numbers to meet the demand for weapons.

As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar hexagram array appeared in both the barracks and the armory.

Whoosh—

A sky-blue teleportation circle appeared.

A tall, beautiful ranger lady wearing a leopard print skirt and blue cape walked out from the left.

The right side looked more shabby in comparison.

All of them were middle-aged men with sideburns and a big belly. They were dressed in iron forging clothes, giving off the feeling that they were made from the same mold.

“Adelia, Class 3 Wind Elemental Ranger greets my lord.”

The young ranger lady had one hand in the air as she bowed, displaying the noble etiquette of the other world.

When the blacksmiths at the side saw this, they hurriedly bowed as well.

“On behalf of all the blacksmiths, Blacksmith One greets my lord!”

“It’s good to meet you, Lady Adelia, and the blacksmiths.”

With a smile on his face, Lin Ye reached out and tapped on the palm of Adelia’s hand, acknowledging the exchange.

From Nicole’s conversation, he understood the complicated rules of etiquette in the other world.

Although he did not really like it, he would do as the Romans did.

Otherwise, the soldiers might betray him because of cultural differences. That was not something he wanted to see.

“My lord, can you create a Class 3 bow and arrow for me?”

Adelia was a straightforward person. She directly stated her request even though it was their first meeting.

“You didn’t bring it yourself?”

Lin Ye was speechless. How could a warrior not bring her own weapon when going out?

What a joke!

“The rangers have their rules. We accept recruitment from humans from the other world but we only provide people and not weapons,” explained Adelia.

“…”

Hearing this reason, Lin Ye had nothing to say.

“If the lord is unable to provide us with weapons, as per our agreement, we have the right not to serve the lord.”

Adelia looked straight at Lin Ye and spoke calmly.

“Alright, I understand. About the weapon, please give me a while.”

Lin Ye nodded and opened the Civilization Archive. He took out a blue tier weapon blueprint from the resource page and handed it to Adelia.

“Fish Stripe Bow, Blue Tier Weapon Blueprint.”

Adelia looked at Lin Ye in surprise, and a smile finally appeared on her beautiful face. She nodded and said, “Although it can’t compare to my original purple tier weapon, Wind Howl, I can still use it. It probably can withstand half of my wind elemental power.”

“Don’t worry. A while more and I will be able to forge a better weapon for you than your purple tier weapon, Wind Howl.” Lin Ye promised.

“I am willing to serve you, my generous lord.”

A pretty smile curved on Adelia’s lips. She curtsied and returned the Fish Stripe Bow blueprint to Lin Ye.

“Blacksmith One, I’ll have to trouble you.” Lin Ye passed the blueprint to him.

“My lord, we are only Class 1 Blacksmiths. We can forge white tier weapons, but blue tier weapons only have a 10% success rate,” Blacksmith One said weakly.

“Feel free to use the materials. I’ve already given you the authority to use the existing wood, stone, and Zombie Souls.” Lin Ye said generously.

“Our lord is generous!”

Upon hearing that, Blacksmith One and his subordinates cheered excitedly.

In the underworld, the rules were strict. For low level blacksmiths like them,

Not to mention forging blue tier weapons, even the materials for white tier weapons had to be accounted for to make sure nothing went wrong before they could forge them.

Similarly, even Adelia, who was a noble, looked at Lin Ye in disbelief.

According to information recorded in history books, the past human lords were often stingy in terms of resources.

This was also the reason why her race did not bring weapons.

After all, they were given such low wages and were still expected to bring their own weapons?

Those lords could eat their own asses!

However, Lin Ye’s actions had greatly exceeded her understanding.

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. The loyalty of all your blacksmiths has increased by 20%. Current loyalty is 70%. Forging speed has increased by 10%!]

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your Class 3 wind elemental ranger, Adelia, has become 10% more loyal to you. Current loyalty is 60%. She is willing to fight for you but she may choose to flee if she loses. (At 100% loyalty, she will be willing to fight to the death for you!)]

“…”

Blacksmith One left with the weapons blueprints, and Lin Ye looked kindly at Adelia.

“My lord? Is there something dirty on my face?” When their eyes met, Adelia asked in confusion.

“No, I just suddenly realized that you’re very pretty.” Lin Ye smiled and praised her.

“Thank you for your compliment, my lord, but you must not have any improper thoughts about me. Otherwise, according to the agreement, I will kill you immediately and return underground.”

Adelia stated in all seriousness.

“Fine.”

Lin Ye opened his mouth and felt a little sad.

I’m such a handsome, pure, and kind-hearted man. How could she think that I had ulterior motives?

Indeed, no matter which world it is, it is filled with malice towards people like me.

He shook his head to clear his mind and turned his attention to the barracks page.
