Lakeside Walled City, Fisherman's Wharf.
The small city currently under construction had a total of three defensive walls. The other wall faced the lake, and the goblins had built a simple wharf here to anchor a few small wooden fishing boats.
Normally, the goblins could use the fishing boats to cast nets in the lake to obtain more food. If the walled city was facing destruction, this was also a way to retreat.
The lake was connected to two rivers, and could be used as a transportation route in the future.
Such a plan came from the trial-takers of the Autonomous World. The help that the two hundred Da Xia elites brought to the Guru Tribe was beyond imagination, and the goblins provided the trial-takers with a safe logistical guarantee. The cooperation between the two sides was perfect.
In the center of the walled city, a majestic altar began to take shape. Once it was completed, it would mean that the city built by the goblins and the trial-takers would have a stable foundation.
"Chief Zuo, how long do you plan to stay here?"
Zuo Yi, Qi Liantao, and the old goblin priest sat by the lakeside beside Fisherman's Wharf.
The three of them were undoubtedly the core of the walled city. Although Zuo Yi had let go of the affairs of the trial space, his prestige here was unparalleled, second only to the existence of a god.
Without Zuo Yi, the Guru Tribe would not have been able to get along so well with the trial-takers, and the trial-takers would not have treated the green-skinned goblins as allies.
"I brought my daughter here to play for two days before leaving …"
Zuo Yi replied, "I have to go to the capital in two days."
"My lord."
At this moment, a green-skinned goblin walked over.
It knelt in front of Zuo Yi on one knee and offered a plate of fruit that looked like a small melon with both hands. "Please have a taste," it said in a low muffled voice.
It spoke standard Mandarin, clearly having eaten Konjac.
Zuo Yi noticed that this goblin was particularly tall and sturdy. He was wearing a set of leather armor that was of excellent quality. Moreover, he was faintly emitting extraordinary energy waves. He gave off a ferocious aura.
"It's Utu."
The old gnome priest proudly introduced, "The first knight of our tribe, the first warrior who conquered the Graystone Tribe!"
Although Goblins were a lower race in the trial space, they also had a complete ranking system. Normal Goblin, Earth Goblin, Goblin Knight, Goblin Grand Knight, and Goblin Commander.
Goblin knights were born from the land goblins. They were required to be able to tame an adult wolf as their mount. Utu was the only land goblin in the Guru Tribe who had completed this trial. As such, he was the undisputed number one warrior of the tribe.
Its position in the Guru tribe was second only to the Old Priest, and it held the right to command the warriors.
However, in front of Zuo Yi, this number one warrior was extremely respectful.
"Yes."
Zuo Yi nodded. He noticed that the little girl sitting at the side was curiously staring at the fruit platter, so he reached out and took one.
"What is this?"
The old gnome priest hurriedly replied, "Sir, this is the Earth Lotus Fruit."
The Earth Lotus Fruit was a rare and precious fruit. It only grew in primitive forests, and its roots could reach up to a hundred meters underground. The fruit was produced from the roots, so it was extremely difficult to dig it up.
Only the gnomes could smell the ripe Earth Lotus Fruit in the soil. The Earth Lotus Fruit that Utu offered was not collected by the Guru tribe, but a spoil of war from conquering the Graystone Tribe.
As a meritorious war hero, Utu naturally received the most precious spoils of war. Now, he offered it to Zuo Yi to express his respect and loyalty to Zuo Yi.
The Earth Lotus Fruit was the size of a baby's fist. It had been washed clean, and it was shaped like a melon. Its color was like white jade, and it emitted a sweet fragrance.
Zuo Yi sniffed it and confirmed that it was edible. He then passed it to the Bao 'er, "Baby, eat it."
"Thank you, Father."
The little girl happily received the Earth Lotus Fruit and opened her mouth to take a bite. Her eyes immediately narrowed.
The fruit melted in her mouth and was incomparably sweet. It was the most delicious fruit she had ever eaten!
"Delicious."
Woof!
Next door, Teck was about to cry from hunger.
"Atay, you eat too."
The Bao 'er had always been generous and doted on Teck. She immediately passed the Earth Lotus Fruit in her hand to the glutton Tai.
Teck swallowed it in one gulp. He didn't even chew before swallowing it into his stomach.
In truth, he preferred meat over vegetables, but seeing the Bao 'er eat so happily, he felt that it was delicious. He had to try it.
Zuo Yi shook his head and passed another fruit to the little girl.
He took the fruit plate from Utu and placed it on the wooden table. He thought for a moment and said, "I won't eat your food for free. Hmm, I'll give you a weapon. Do you prefer a battle-axe or a warhammer?"
Gnome warriors mainly used battle-axes and warhammers. Other weapons were spears and bone clubs, but the materials used were terrible.
Utu was overjoyed. He bowed and said, "Thank you, Master, for your gift. Utu wants a warhammer."
He was smarter than ordinary gnomes, but his thoughts were not complicated. He said what he liked.
"Okay."
Zuo Yi immediately took out a piece of iron embryo weighing over a hundred kilograms from his space ring. Holding it in his hand, he infused it with fire fighting aura. Then, as if he was kneading mud, he kneaded this piece of iron embryo into a standard warhammer in the world of Sadia.
After the warhammer was formed, Zuo Yi took out a bit of dark red gold and evenly plated it on the surface of the weapon.
Although he only used a little bit of dark red gold, it could greatly extend the weapon's lifespan in the trial space.
Most importantly, with the help of dark red gold, Zuo Yi could engrave runes on the warhammer to increase its power.
Due to the limited materials, he could only engrave two low-level runes, "Armor Break" and "Shock".
These were the most commonly used runes for low-level warhammers. "Armor Break" could greatly increase the warhammer's ability to break through defenses, and it could deal extra damage to targets wearing heavy armor.
"Shock" could create shockwaves when attacking. After hitting the target, even if the enemy defended, they would suffer a second round of damage from the shockwaves, and there was a chance of causing a dizzy effect.
In just ten minutes, a dark gold rune warhammer was completed in Zuo Yi's hands.
Although the design was crude and simple, it gave off a feeling of power!
The old gnome priest and Qi Liantao were amazed. They had never heard of such a method.
In fact, with Zuo Yi's identity as a rune master, making such low-level equipment did not show his true strength.
But the gnome knight Utu was dazzled. When he received the warhammer, his hands were trembling.
"Get up."
Zuo Yi waved his hand, "Take it and serve the tribe well."
Utu immediately kowtowed, "I am willing to die for Master!"
