Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor

[Ding, Territorial Essence added successfully, the civilization has grown through integration, gaining the 'Large Population' trait, and the territory will receive 50 refugees. The Lord should ensure their protection and reception.]

50 refugees!

That's one-eighth of the territory's population. Lin Rui immediately called Audrey and instructed her, "Dispatch all the undead at once to locate the 50 new refugees refreshed near the territory."

"Got it!" Audrey responded energetically.

Lin Rui also mounted Death's Claw, soaring into the sky alongside her to search for the refugee group.

A group of 50 refugees should be quite conspicuous, easily spotted unless obscured by trees.

Soon, Audrey swiftly flew over and shouted from a distance, "Lord, found them, they're beside the western lake being hunted by a group of green-skinned wolf riders. They were saved by a passing Terion unit."

Along the lakeside, Little Fishman occasionally appeared. Terion left a Manor Guard here to clear out Fishmen, training while gathering loot with a guaranteed drop rate. This was a path to wealth Lin Rui had considered from day one.

Unexpectedly, they rescued the refugees, and Lin Rui swiftly flew over on Death's Claw.

The massive Griffon's descent created a gust so strong that the ordinary refugees couldn't stand, only opening their eyes after the air settled, marveling at the majestic griffon.

A robust, bearded middle-aged man stepped forward proactively, addressing Lin Rui, "Good day, my Lord. I am the leader of these refugees. We've heard of the splendor of the Golden Pansy Domain and wish to join your territory."

Lin Rui calmly replied, "The Golden Pansy Domain welcomes you. From now on, this will be your home."

With the joining of fifty citizens, Lin Rui queued up to review all their attribute panels.

This group of fifty refugees was truly a talent pool, with four possessing excellent talent and two possessing extraordinary talent.

These included one extraordinary brewer and one extraordinary herder.

The territory's vineyard could immediately be established.

The extraordinary herder could enhance the breeding probability of farm animals by 20%, practically a breeding master.

With him, the territory's packhorses and griffons could see rapid expansion.

The strongest among them was the leader of the refugee group, the robust middle-aged man. Astonishingly, he was a Heroic Spirit Level Master of Armaments!

Meaning if he were to pass, he would certainly be guided to the Celestial Kingdom, becoming an armament creator there.

Lin Rui could hardly contain his joy - this was a master of armaments born perfectly for the territory!

Though his two traits seemed unstable, potentially filling his modified armaments with surprises/shocks, possibly exploding suddenly on the battlefield. This led to other workshops shunning him, causing him to wander the streets.

But this issue doesn't exist in the Golden Pansy Domain.

What is the Golden Pansy Domain's greatest feature?

The favor of the Goddess of Fortune!

This will maximize the positive effects of his traits, making his modifications make the territorial soldiers' equipment more flashy and durable.

Lin Rui promptly told Burton, "The territory will build a grand and magnificent armory for you. From now on, you're in charge of all armament modifications for the territory."

Burton, disbelief written all over his face, asked, "Really, my Lord? You... you might not know, but the armaments I've modified are always filled with surprises. The armory where I previously served was always full of disdain for me."
