Two bright moons were hanging in the sky, with silver moonlight cascading down from the deep blue night sky, falling upon the completely renewed half-elf village, making everything peaceful and serene.
At this moment, inside the chieftain’s stone house in the center of the village, the lights were shining brightly.
In front of a large rectangular wooden table, there were more than a dozen figures sitting, with abundant plates of delicious food on the table. Additionally, more dishes were constantly being brought out.
Upon zooming in closer, the one sitting in the highest position was naturally Leo Ray, as the Lord.
On his left-hand side were Taylor, Serena Clark, Stella Clark, and Scarlett, seated in order.
On his right-hand side were Gunner Santons, Belinda Wright, and several core members of the Moonwhite Tribe.
As for figures like Gavin Sullivan within the territory, before Leo Ray had left, the food had already been prepared, and they were notified via mind talk, so they could enjoy their meal on their own.
That being said, the food on the wooden table was incredibly rich and varied.
The dishes in front of Leo Ray were even more varied.
The first thing that caught his eye was a huge plate of pan-fried rib-eye steak.
The rib-eye steak, which had just been brought over, was sizzling with hot oil. The blend of the natural aroma of the grilled meat and the distinctive spices gave off waves of mouthwatering fragrance, making people feel refreshed instantly.
Following that was a dish of sweet potato stewed beef.
The sweetness of the sweet potato perfectly blended with the meaty aroma of the beef, with a rich gravy further accentuated by finely chopped vegetables, making it a perfect blend of color, aroma, and taste.
Other than that, there were various specialty dishes, such as vegetable salad, smoked meat platter, mushroom-vegetable soup, and more, which dazzled viewers’ eyes.
Most importantly, in front of Leo Ray stood a large bowl of plump, crystal-clear rice, giving off a heartwarming sweet fragrance.
It is important to note that rice, steamed buns, and noodles were the three foods that Leo Ray yearned for the most after crossing into this world!
Looking at the steaming hot half-elf dishes on the long wooden table, Leo Ray, who had gone hungry all day after a day of toil, couldn’t help but salivate, dying to enjoy the feast.
However, upon second thoughts, he was still the Lord, and as the big boss of everyone, he had to seem dignified. At least, he had to lead off with a simple opening remark.
“Alright, without further ado, everyone has worked hard today. It’s more important to replenish your energy in time, so let’s eat and talk at the same time.”
After he finished speaking, Leo Ray picked up the wooden spoon from the table and started eating first.
On the other side, seeing this, the people seated at the lower end started moving one by one, chatting with each other quietly while eating.
Because Leo Ray had informed Taylor and his subordinates beforehand that they could treat the half-elves as their own and not to maintain a barrier between them.
Moreover, the half-elves were naturally curious about strong figures like Taylor, so the atmosphere in the dining hall quickly got warmer.
“My Lord, may I ask if the food suits your taste?”
A moment later, the old tribe leader, Gunner Santons, presented a freshly cut plate of beef to Leo Ray with a smiling face.
“Very nice. Half-elves are indeed a skillful and talented race.”
Leo Ray praised with a smile. Seeing that the time was almost right, he put down his utensils and changed the subject, “Old tribe leader, I have two things that I need you to handle.”
Immediately after that, Leo Ray explained the tasks of forming a half-elf archer army and expanding food production in full detail.
As Leo Ray anticipated, Gunner Santons, upon hearing this, agreed without hesitation, with his aged brow revealing signs of joy.ln this way, with the favor of the Lord, the Moonwhite Tribe’s status in the Lord’s heart would undoubtedly rise to a new level!
“Reporting to the Lord, regarding the issue of a one hundred-member archer team stationed permanently, they can report to the territory tomorrow morning to take up the responsibility of ensuring the territory’s security,” said Gunner Santons, with a contemplative expression on his old face.
“As for the reserve team of two hundred, I will send someone to expedite their training, and they will be at the Lord’s disposal at any time.”
“Very well, I will send someone to meet them tomorrow morning.” With an approving nod, Leo Ray continued, “As for the training of the reserve team, at least half a day should be devoted to it each day.
For the other half of the day, let them all throw themselves into work, without
“Rest assured, my lord, I will take care of everything and not let anything go wrong.”
Hearing this, Gunner Santons patted his chest, with a serious look of commitment on his face.
After that, Leo Ray chatted with him for a while.
Then, Leo Ray put a spoonful of rice mixed with thick soup in his mouth and said, “By the way, old patriarch, if I’m not mistaken, you were once a Tier 3 Nine-star Great Mage, right?”
“…I didn’t expect the Lord to see this as well.”
After a brief pause, an intense bitterness appeared on the face of Gunner Santons, which had always been full of bright smiles.
At this moment, his face, crisscrossed with wrinkles, seemed to have aged even more.
Following a sigh, the old Half-Elf said, “To be accurate, my lord, a century ago, this old man was indeed a Tier 3 Nine-star Half-Elf Great Mage.
But because of a critical event, I lost all my magical power, plunging the entire tribe into the increasingly declining predicament we face today.”
Hearing this, Leo Ray patted his shoulder to comfort him while continuing to listen quietly.
Feeling the warmth from the Lord’s palm, the old half-elf glanced gratefully at Leo Ray, then his eyes slowly grew dazed as he became lost in memories.
Through Gunner Santons’ account, Leo Ray learned that after the ancient Half-Elf who created this barrier had perished,
the magic potential contained in the bloodline of the Moonwhite Tribe had begun to decline abruptly under unknown circumstances.
At that time, Gunner Santons had one foot in the threshold of Tier 4 Powerhouses, reaching the limit of Tier 3 Powerhouses.
He was much stronger than typical Tier 3 Nine-Star Experts and the strongest among the Moonwhite Tribe besides the Ancestor.
However, due to this reason, his strength quickly diminished to barely reach the level of a Tier 3 Nine-Star Expert, with the decline continuing at a rapid pace.
Continuing this trajectory would inevitably lead to an undesirable outcome.
Therefore, to curb the decline, Gunner Santons decided to risk everything and forcefully promote himself to a Tier 4 Powerhouse.
If successful, he could attempt to reactivate the magical potential in the tribe’s bloodline.
If unsuccessful, the tribe would quickly weaken until they lost all magical abilities.
As for the final result, it was undoubtedly apparent. Hearing this, Leo Ray took on a thoughtful expression..
