Li Yi did not care about this at all.
His physique was comparable to that of a tier 8 soldier. How tiring could it be to carry a little fellow?
"Let's go back." As Li Yi spoke, he turned around and walked out of the cave.
"Master, let Helena carry him for you.”Helena couldn't bear to see Li Yi suffer, so she quickly said.
"Ouch!"
The little fellow understood and was unhappy.
He bared his teeth at Helena, but his " wail " didn't sound very imposing.
"You little thing, don't you understand your master?”Helena glared at him.
"Ouch!"
The little fellow was unhappy.
He opened his mouth and blue flames instantly swept out.
Helena didn't expect the little fellow to be so hot-tempered. She didn't manage to dodge the attack, and the flames burned her arm.
This blue flame was very strange.
It was clearly fire, but when it reached Helena's arm, a layer of frost formed on it.
"Are you alright?" Li Yi frowned slightly.
"Don't worry, Master. Helena is fine.”Helena was a little surprised. She shook her head and exerted a little force, causing the frost on her arm to melt immediately.
Even though the little guy's potential was endless.
However, she was still too young, and the flames from her dragon breath were limited in power. It wasn't enough to hurt Helena, who was at level 12.
The little fellow continued to bathe its teeth at Helena, seemingly provoking her.
Seeing this, Li Yi patted its head and frowned.""Don't attack your own people."
" Sob…" The little fellow shrunk its neck and immediately looked like a rubber ball. It revealed an aggrieved expression and did not dare to grimace anymore.
Then, everyone returned to the airship.
He didn't stay on the island for long. He immediately started the airship and set off for his return journey.
" Master," Helena suggested from the deck." Shall I sign the contract for you now?" Although this little fellow was obedient now, it had revealed its bad temper so quickly. It might be very naughty in the future, so it was better to make a contract to be safe.”
"Alright." Li Yi did not hesitate. He had always liked to be prepared for both eventualities.
Although the little fellow was very cute and naive, it was still better to have double insurance.
"Huh?" Little Rascal watched as Helena drew the contract formation on the deck, not understanding what she was about to face.
It was only when Helena taught Li Yi how to prick his fingertips that the little guy finally understood.
The inheritance in its bloodline made it instinctively understand what was going to happen next.
Surprisingly, it did not resist. It obediently allowed Li Yi to pierce its fingertip and sign an unequal soul contract with Helena's help.
From now on, it would not be able to harm Li Yi. Otherwise, it would suffer the backlash of the soul contract and die.
"Oh."
After signing the contract, the little fellow called out softly as if it was acting coquettishly.
Li Yi patted its little head." Be good. I've already asked someone to prepare some good food for you."”
"Ouch!"
……
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The airship finally returned to the sky above the territory.
Li Yi stood at the edge of the deck and looked down from above. He could see that the territory had expanded a lot, and there were even a few more areas. It was obvious that the dwarves had completed the construction of the airship as scheduled. It was worthy of praise.
In addition, the little fellow's growth rate was very shocking.
It had only been three days, but he had gained weight again and his strength had clearly increased.
Helena said that the growth period of pure-blooded dragons was very short, and they could usually grow to an adult's size in two to three years and display their adult strength.
In their world, some pure-blooded dragons might not even be five years old.
Of course, this did not affect the long lifespan of the dragon race at all.
The little fellow grew up quickly and became sensible quickly.
He knew that he was heavy and couldn't let Li Yi hold it for a long time. Otherwise, Li Yi would get tired.
Therefore, it now took the initiative to lie on Li Yi's shoulder. When it was full, it would sleep. When it woke up, it would eat. Occasionally, it would act cute to Li Yi. Other than that, it did not go anywhere else. It just wanted to stick close to Li Yi.
Li Yi was helpless about this, but he still went along with this little fellow's willfulness.
He only suspected that if this continued for a long time, he would get frozen shoulder in the future.
From the looks of it, if there was a chance in the future, he would have to find a soldier with healing abilities to prevent the little fellow from getting frozen shoulder.
"Master, this is the development report of the territory when you left for a few days.”Helena carefully handed over a piece of paper.
"Yes." Li Yi replied and lowered his head to take a look.
Overall, the speed of development was within expectations.
The territory lacked nothing but population.
With a lack of population, there would be a lot of empty farmland, which would lead to a series of problems such as food being difficult to keep up and various military supplies being difficult to supply.
Moreover, when the season changed, it would become a huge crisis.
Li Yi tapped the table with his finger and said,"" Pass down the order. Send people to gather all the civilians in the ordinary villages and wanderers 'gathering places in this area. Then, bring them into the city to live. Also, assign them to live in houses as soon as possible. After that, give them various jobs. In addition, he had to recruit some capable people to work in the Lord's Manor. Now was the time when he was short of manpower.”
"Yes, Master!" Helena immediately did as she was told.
Li Yi rubbed his forehead as he watched Helena leave.
It was not easy to be a lord.
He still had a lot to learn.
Having a strong military ability was the foundation of a foothold on this continent, but at the same time, the development of the people in the city could not be ignored.
Li Yi didn't think that he was a good person, but since he had become a lord, he naturally didn't want to learn from the bad emperors in his previous life.
At the very least, winning the hearts of the people and having the entire city praise his great achievements would give him a sense of pride and accomplishment.
However…
He would take it one step at a time. After all, it was not easy to be a wise ruler.
"By the way, it's time to recruit troops.”
Li Yi looked at the gold coins in his inventory.
A total of 815,000.
With a wave of his hand, another 81 dark dragon-men were recruited.
The gold coins in the storage were also used up once again.
There were now 266 Dark Drakonids.
Although they were still a long way from forming an army, their overall strength was already comparable to many old lords.
Li Yi had only entered the industry for less than two months, yet he had already developed to such a stage.
In the entire continent, Li Yi was probably the only one who could do this.
He was proud enough, so he was not in a hurry.
As the saying goes, haste makes waste.
Just as Li Yi was thinking about it, he suddenly received the feedback from the Imagined Magic Vine.
