"You're back. You have a good time outside. But have you forgotten that you still left a little girl here with me? Do you come back this time to take her away?"
A voice came from the door of Dick's wooden house. Dick looked up and smiled at the person at the door.
"Ellena, I'm very happy to see you. And Liya, it's great to see you all right."
Ellena was standing at the door, while Liya only revealed her blonde hair from behind. It seemed that she was too timid to look at Dick.
"Well, you little girl. You keep talking about Dick with me every day. Why are you hiding now? Come on, or he will say that I didn't take good care of you."
With a big smile on her face, Ellena pulled Liya out from behind.
The little girl's face turned red, and her fair fingers were constantly pinching her dress in front of her, not knowing where to put it.
"You, you're back. Welcome back. Mr. Dick."
She lifted her dress and made a salute inexpertly. It was an etiquette used by the nobility on the earth before. It could be seen that the little girl had just practiced it for a short time, and her unskillful movements seemed to trip herself at any time.
"Haha, who taught you this?"
Dick couldn't help but burst into laughter. He walked over and held Liya's wobbly body to prevent her from falling.

Liya blushed and mustered up her courage to speak out all the words in one breath.
Ellena blinked at Dick and opened the door, she said to them.
"Well, I shouldn't stay here any longer. Now it's your time. Oh, by the way, she likes blueberry cake very much. I have left some materials in your room. You can try to make it together."
Then she closed the door, pretending not to see Liya's shy face.
Dick held Liya's hand and let her sit on the chair. Before Dick could say anything, Liya spoke first.
"No, it's not like that. In fact, I don't like blueberry cake at all. That's children's preference."
Dick couldn't help laughing. Sitting opposite Liya, he propped his chin up and said.
"Well, in fact, I want to eat blueberry cake. Would you like to eat with me?"
Liya nodded excitedly. Her bright eyes seemed to have stars.
"Don't worry. I won't abandon you. I've already told you this. In addition, I will go to other Green-Hand Villages in the future. I hope you can go with me."
Hearing Dick's invitation, Liya jumped up excitedly and wrapped her arms around Dick's neck.
"That's great! I'm very happy! When are we going? I can't wait to see what other rookie castles look like!"
Dick held Liya's arms and pulled her down from his neck. He touched her soft blonde hair and said.
"Well, don't be in such a hurry. We haven't eaten the blueberry cake yet. Besides, before we go to these Green-Hand Villages, we have other things to do. We can't go there without any preparation, right?"
Under the confused eyes of the little girl, Dick took out the materials that Ellena left for him and enjoyed a wonderful blueberry dinner with Liya.
The second morning, Dick went to the renewal garden.
His purpose was to strengthen the two level-four weapons he had obtained from third elder's storage ring. Since he had to go to other Green-Hand Villages to recruit the villagers, he could not just persuade them with his flat words.
This was what human beings were like. If they were not given some benefits that could be staring them in the face, even if he portrayed the wonderful harvest in the future, he would not be completely believed.
The flowers bloomed on the weapon in Dick's hand. The Eyes of God showed Dick the change of this weapon's property. It was absolutely a huge improvement compared to before.
After a while, looking at the two brand-new level-five weapons in his hands, Dick smiled with satisfaction.
This time, he would go to the No. 7 Green-Hand Village, which was the castle led by Sphinx, the strongest person in the No. 12 rookie district.
The reason why he chose Sphinx as the first recruitment target was that Sphinx's castle was the most powerful. If he could join, the progress of Bramble City's upgrade would also be increased a lot.
The point was that among almost all the Green-Hand Villages, only Sphinx's castle did not show any obvious hostility to them. Moreover, Sphinx had once cooperated with him, so it was much easier to recruit him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Friend, how are you doing recently? I remember that your rookie castle has reached level three, right? It seems that you have made good progress!"
Dick sent a message to Sphinx first.
"Is that good? I don't think so. I still can't find the materials to upgrade the level-four Green-Hand Village. Up to now, I only have two level-four wooden houses. I was planning to ask you about where to find those materials."
Sphinx replied very quickly, with exhaustion in every word.
"You've upgraded to the level-four castle a long time ago. Do you have any remaining materials? If you have, I'm willing to pay for them. Or, like last time, I'll exchange some equipment for the information."
Seeing that Dick didn't say anything for a long time, Sphinx finally threw out his chip.
He didn't like to ask for help, but for the development of his castle, he had to bow to Dick.
"In fact, I have a new plan, which is very beneficial to us and the villagers. You only need to pay a small price for this plan."
In Tulip Castle, Sphinx frowned. He was lost in thought when he read the message of Dick.
There was no free lunch in the world, which he had been familiar with. Dick's words made him more suspicious.
After thinking for a long time, he still didn't understand what Dick wanted to exchange, so he had to send a message.
"Well, tell me your condition. To be honest, I doubt you, my friend. But your condition seems too tempting."
Dick smiled. He knew that the fish he had been waiting for had been hooked. Now there was only the last step left.
"I know you will make such a wise decision. I think it's impossible to make it clear online. How about I go to see you now?"
