"What? Are you coming to my Green-Hand Village? My friend, stop kidding! Although the protective barrier between the Green-Hand Villages has been removed, each Green-Hand Village is still in an independent state. How can you come here?"
Sphinx didn't take Dick's words seriously. He even began to think about what was wrong with his friend that he could say such unreasonable words.
"Of course, I'm not kidding. I'm telling the truth. All you need to do is to place the wine at the gate of the village and wait for me to come."
Then Dick cut off the connection with Sphinx. Sphinx sat alone in his wooden house, almost scratching his scalp.
Even so, he still couldn't figure out how Dick could get to his Green-Hand Village.
"Dalich, Dalich! Set up a table at the gate of the castle with our best wine on it. Our friends will come today. Oh, by the way, set up some food."
After thinking for a while without any results, he finally decided to do as Dick said. Anyway, even if Dick didn't come, he didn't lose anything. He just took the meal to feed the bugs.
Dick returned to the wooden house. At this time, Liya just woke up. She was wearing pure white pajamas, like an elf, and ran towards Dick.
"I'm ready! When are we leaving?"
She pulled Dick's sleeve and asked. She was afraid that Dick would leave her if she didn't notice.
"Well, I won't leave you alone. You don't seem to be ready now. Go to comb your hair, wash your face, and change a beautiful dress. Then we can set off."
About an hour later, Dick and Liya returned to the Zac clan through the teleportation array. They once again headed for the outside of the multi-dimensional palace.
There was a special teleportation array there. As long as a space stone was put in it and the target Green-Hand Village was input, they could easily go to the designated Green-Hand Village.
Dick chose No. 7 Green-Hand Village where Sphinx was and stood in the center of the teleportation array with Liya.
After a blurry white light, they arrived at a completely strange place. In front of them was a huge castle. Although it was not as magnificent as Bramble City, it was more gorgeous.
The huge tulips bloomed in every corner of the city wall, emitting brilliant light in the sun. Every detail revealed the magnificent and sumptuous of the castle.
Dick and Liya were standing opposite the gate of the castle. They could see the name on the top of the city wall, Tulip Castle.
Right, they had arrived at the castle led by Sphinx. At this time, the door of the castle was wide open. On the other end of the door, there was a table, with fruits and wine on it.
Dick took Liya's hand and walked inside the castle. Before they entered the gate, they heard a voice coming from inside.
"Oh my God! I didn't expect that you would come! Am I dreaming? When you first told me that you would come to our Green-Hand Village, I thought you were joking!"
Sphinx walked out of the castle in surprise and reached out his hand to touch Dick's face as if he wanted to confirm if he existed.
"Well, Sphinx, if you want to show your surprise, just one time is enough. We are all men. You don't want to pull and drag here, do you?"
Dick stopped him and pushed away Sphinx's hand.
It was not until then that Sphinx realized his gaffe. At the same time, he noticed the petite and cute Liya beside Dick.
"I'm sorry. It's my fault. My friends come from far away, please allow me to propose a toast to you. Welcome to my Tulip Castle."
After being surprised, Sphinx quickly regained his composure.
Dick brought Liya here, which meant that at least Dick was not hostile to him. How could anyone bring a coquettish woman to invade others?
"Of course, I'm willing to do that."
Dick smiled and walked to the table with Sphinx. He took the wine from him and handed one cup to Liya. Then he picked up the other cup and clinked it with Sphinx. Then he drank it up.
"Well, I think you can tell me what your condition is now. To be honest, I'm really curious. If it weren't for your request, I don't even want to drink here to wait for it."
Sphinx said to Dick after he drained the wine in his cup and put it aside.
"Sphinx, how do you think the overall strength of your village compared to ours?"
Dick didn't immediately answer Sphinx's question but asked first.
"I think we are stronger. Although I may not be as good as you in terms of personal strength, I'm afraid it's not necessarily when it comes to the overall strength."
There was strong confidence in Sphinx's eyes. The strength of his villagers gave him strong confidence.
"Really? But the highest level of your equipment is only level four. As a castellan, you are wearing such equipment, so your villagers' equipment level should not exceed yours, right?"
Dick's words panicked Sphinx. He looked at Dick in confusion.
"Level four is already very high. Now in the regional trading channel, even the level-three items are rare. Are your Green-Hand Village's items still higher than mine?"
Dick laughed and took out the two weapons from his storage ring that had been strengthened in the renewal garden before and put them in front of Sphinx.
"Look, these two weapons can only be regarded as the average level in our Green-Hand Village. To tell you the truth, our Green-Hand Village has more than a hundred people above LV20."
A level-five item could only be considered to be above average!
More than one hundred people were LV20 or above!
These two pieces of information were like a bomb exploding in the heart of Sphinx. Up to now, there was no level-five item in his Green-Hand Village, and there were only more than twenty people above LV20!
He swallowed and tried to look at Dick calmly. "Friend, what do you mean? Do you want to coerce me to surrender and announce my loyalty to you?"
Dick reached out his hand and shook it at Sphinx. He gave him a radiant smile, there was no hostility on his face.
"Calm down, my friend. I don't mean that. As for these two level-five items, this is my gift for you. If you agree with my next condition, there will only be more and more level-five items in the village."
