Lord of Arcane

Chapter 239 Meat-eating Enwei
Hunting and killing wild beasts is almost no difficulty for the Gibb team, as long as they don't encounter powerful creatures such as trolls and bear goblins, let alone Xia Duo following them.

The only unexpected thing is that on the way to deal with the three wolves but kill the bear, I met two wandering goblins, followed them, and cleaned up a small group of goblins by the way.

Of course, this is not a big accident, the goblins in the forest are like inexhaustible weeds, everywhere.

Although many wild animals were hunted down, only one bear was really brought back. Gibb and others dragged the bear to the camp, and washed it by the water's edge.

It's almost summer now, and the flow of the Wolfburg River has also accelerated a lot. With the sound of rushing water, accompanied by the chatter and laughter among the soldiers, the bear meat was processed after a while.

Afterwards, a few slaves came out and started cooking. These people were originally ordinary villagers, but they became slaves later, and they were able to do basic work.

Of course, this so-called cooking is just putting the meat in the pot, mixing hard bread and bacon jerky, and finally turning it into a pot of squishy minced meat.

And for Xia Duo, the food that he would not even glance at, is out-and-out delicious in the eyes of others.

As the scent of the three cauldrons continued to waft, the people in the five working groups began to turn around frequently, and even the slaves were a little commotional.

Xia Duo simply summoned everyone in front of him and announced a new order——

"Five working groups of citizens, No. 5 can eat meat freely, each of the second, third, and fourth has a bowl, and the last one can eat bread; 1 slave groups, work together with the leader group after three days, as long as they can More than the people group, half a bowl of meat for each person, and the group that performed the best after one year, I will allow them to be released from slavery."

As soon as the order was announced, the leaders immediately looked at each other. Although there was no words, the sparks of competition were ignited in their eyes, which was stronger than before, because the treatment of the last group might not even be as good as that of slaves.

But they dare not question the lord's decision. They put aside the past and come here, isn't it just to get ahead?Just do it!

The leaders were silent, trying to show their strength, while the slaves were already weeping with joy.

They have long been numb to life, since they came to this pioneering territory, they felt something different from other places.

Now hearing that the status of slaves can still be lifted, all the slaves fell to their knees and shouted——

"Lord Lord, be kind!"

"Thank you Lord Lord!"

……

Xia Duo looked at this scene calmly, without much emotion. Kindness alone cannot manage the territory and convince the people. When the scene calmed down a bit, Xia Duo continued to announce:
"All working groups are under the responsibility of the team leader. If the team members do not obey the order, the team leader must report to Priest Leiden and cannot handle it privately. Similarly, if the team leader's order is unreasonable, the team members are not allowed to resist on the spot. Leighton Priest reports.

"As long as you make a mistake, the leader will whip you 20 times, and the slave will be hanged directly."

As soon as this remark came out, the originally enthusiastic scene suddenly cooled down. The leader group was fine, nothing more than twenty lashes. The slave group finally had hope of getting rid of the slaves, and now there was another death threat.

Only when there is a comparison can they leave a deep impression. The slaves trembled one by one, but Xia Duo ignored them, and finally asked Layton to be in charge of supervision and scoring, and then left.

As for the two teams of soldiers, it wasn't that Xia Duo had ignored them, but had already arranged them.

As long as the caster can't fly or teleport, he can still be surrounded to death by ordinary people with ordinary weapons after all.

Xia Duo still attaches great importance to ordinary soldiers. Although they are not strong now, if they wear anti-magic and magic-breaking equipment, they may even be able to cut down the archmage.

And Xia Duo's only requirement for soldiers is to obey orders. No matter whether there is a mountain of knives or a sea of ​​fire in front of him, he must be able to charge forward without hesitation as soon as he gives an order.

In this regard, neither the Gibb squad nor the Jockey squad can do it, and it is even impossible for any soldiers recruited in the future to do it.

Only soldiers with a sense of honor and a sense of belonging are selected from the next generation of leaders.

For Qiao Qi and others, Xia Duo just gave them something that ordinary citizens did not have - wages, and the others were similar to ordinary citizens.

Just this is of course not enough to make them die, but it is also worthwhile.

……

When they came to the bank of the river, Qiao Qi's team was grilling here. Seeing Xia Duo approaching, everyone quickly got up, "My lord!"

"You eat what you eat, don't worry about me."

Xia Duo waved his hand, came to the river, and stretched his hand into the river. After a while, he picked up a foot-long white phosphorous river fish.

Skillfully remove the scales, clean the internal organs, and finally wash it, rub it with crushed salt, and use the long sword at the waist to wear it on the fire and roast it on the fire.

Without many seasonings, what Xia Duo can accept is grilled fish with a relatively light taste.While waiting, Xia Duo reminded Qiao Qi's team of the next task:
"There will be new soldiers in the future. You, Qiao Qi, are responsible for teaching them daily vigilance. Next, one of you will follow Gibb to clean up the living things in the forest every day. You have all been adventurers. I hope you can adapt as soon as possible. .”

"Yes, Lord!"

"Hurry up and eat. After eating, go and replace Gibb and the others. They still have hunting missions in the afternoon!"

"Yes."

Seeing Qiao Qi and the others ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

……

After the meal, Xia Duo discussed the evaluation criteria of the working group with Layton before leaving the camp.

After many days, he had long wanted to go to the Mystery to hunt for treasure, but this time, he had a new tool in his hand—a shovel specially used for digging.

Finally, there is no need to use a shield to shovel the soil, and the shovel can also directly test the contents of the floating soil without using a sword to slowly test.

Efficiency immediately increased.

Speaking of this shovel, Xia Duo specially entrusted Arman to find it for him, not at the blacksmith shop, but at an adventurer's place!
There is no need for ordinary people to buy this thing, and there is no blacksmith shop. The one in his hand is specially ordered by the adventurer for the convenience of digging treasures.

10 gold each, which is about the same price as an ordinary one-handed sword.

……

Go through the mystical lock and come to the ruins.

This time Xia Duo chose the center of the building ruins. Although he always searched all over, the chances of finding treasures in the center should be higher.

This is really annoying.

As soon as he came into the Mystic Lock, he lost his magical ability and it was not so convenient to do things. Xia Duo quickly approached the center of the ruins with a shovel, and he couldn't wait any longer.

He felt that he was no longer running away with the shovel, but the shovel was dragging him away!
