The succubus Aphrodite obediently sat in a magic caravan at the airport pier. Before she was familiar with the imperial laws, Suldak didn't let her wander around outside. After all, she was a succubus...

But Aphrodite didn't seem to care too much about it. She lay quietly by the window, with a black veil on her face, and looked curiously at the busy street. Through the black veil, Suldak You can feel the smile on her face.

Standing in front of the ogre Gullitum, Suldak said apologetically, "Sorry, Gullitum, today's dinner may be late..."

The ogre patted his belly, expressing that it was okay to be hungry once in a while, and then picked up a piece of cassava and rubbed it on his belly twice, chewing like a crispy radish.He awkwardly boarded the last four-wheeled truck, and the whole carriage made creaking noises. The coachman watched the ogre sitting in his own truck box, stretching the sides of the carriage into an exaggerated arc, almost When he was about to cry, seeing that the convoy in front had already set off, the coachman could only quickly get on the driver's seat, and the ogre in the four-wheeled truck chased after him with all his might.

When the convoy passed a bakery on Central Avenue, Suerdak stopped the magic caravan, bought white bread and baked wheat cakes for 60 people, and spent [-] silver coins at a barbecue stand to buy He picked up two hot roasted lambs, threw a stack of baked wheat cakes and a whole roasted lamb into the carriage of the ogre Gullitum, and the ogre's exclamation immediately came from the carriage.

In the magic caravan, the indigenous warrior tore off a roast leg of lamb, cut it into small pieces with a skinning knife and put it on a silver plate. The succubus Aphrodite took off her veil, stretched out her hand and elegantly pinched a piece of leg of lamb into her mouth While eating, he mumbled to Suldak: "I have never eaten such a delicious roast lamb..."

Facing the three people in front of her, Samira could only sit in the corner of the carriage and nibble on an apple.

The convoy finally left the city of Hailansa before the gate of Hailansa city closed.

The mountain road leading to the Paglos Pass is not easy to walk. The ice and snow melted in the early spring, and the mountain road is a little muddy. However, Suldak hires four-wheeled carriages with two horses. Even if the road is difficult, at most it is walking Slow down, this kind of truck will not easily get stuck in the mud and can't get out.

The mountain wind at night is still so cold, but the night sky in the mountains is full of stars, and the wind carries the fragrance of trees. The team passed through the mountains full of oak trees quietly until the sun climbed up the mountain in the morning. The last carriage in the convoy passed the pass.

The dazzling sun clearly reflected the wooden crosses on the top of the mountain. After a severe winter, the skeletons of the robbers had completely disappeared on the wooden crosses, leaving only some solitary skulls hanging on the top of the wooden crosses.

On the far side of the road, Suldak had clearly seen the ravine in Wall Village.

Suldak pushed open the door of the magic caravan, pointed to the increasingly clear village in his sight, and excitedly said to the men in the car: "Look over there, that's Wall Village..."

The succubus Aphrodite looked at the barren land in front of her in surprise, clicked her tongue, and sighed, "This place is actually so desolate."

Suldak said confidently: "It will get better gradually..."

Chapter 493 Spring in Wall Village

22 four-wheeled carriages were parked by the reed pond at the entrance of the village, and the coachmen jumped out of the carriages one after another and removed the carriage boards.

The kobold slave walked out of the carriage with a numb face. The kobold slave in an unfamiliar environment looked blank, surrounded by large areas of withered and yellow reeds and red thatch, looking around, there were barren mountains everywhere in the distance.

A dilapidated small village is hidden in a ravine among the mountains. A stream that is almost dead flows out of the ravine. Connecting to the swamp at the bend of the river, the reed pond is not very big. The beginning of summer belongs to the dry season on Pagros. At this time, the reed pond will dry up a little bit, and finally only the small pond in the center of the swamp is left with countless silt deposits.

In midsummer, when the rainy season comes, the southeast monsoon blows the humid air from the endless sea, and after a heavy rain, the place will become a swamp.

At this time, the floating ice on the pond at the entrance of the river bend has just melted, and the breeze blows, sparkling on the water.

More than a thousand kobold slaves were driven to the edge of the pond by Andrew. According to Suldak's instructions, these kobold slaves need to take a good bath here. Wearing warm clothes is not afraid of the cold, but if you let them jump into the icy river in early spring, at this time, it is not a small challenge for these kobold slaves.

These kobold slaves have completely succumbed to the whips of the slave traders. They are used to accepting orders to do things. Andrew drove a large group of kobold slaves off the pond with little trouble. However, due to the large number of kobold slaves, the pond can The area for the kobolds to bathe was very limited, so Andrew directed some kobolds to collect some reeds and pile them into huge haystacks on the shore.

Andrew lit the haystack with the fire-focusing scroll, and the flames sprang up quickly. Flames burst out from the haystack, and the temperature within ten meters around him rose sharply.

Smoke billowed from the fire and was blown to the north by the wind.

Those kobold slaves who washed off their dirt in the pond, climbed ashore from the pond, and were arranged by Andrew to warm up next to the fire, and each kobold also gave half a piece of cassava to eat breakfast while roasting, because last night The lips of these kobold slaves were slightly swollen after eating cassava, but this did not affect them.

Seeing that they could receive food after taking a bath, and could sit over there to keep warm, these slow-moving kobold slaves began to be agile.

The coachmen who had completed the task of carrying the carriages had started to return one after another in their four-wheeled carriages. If the journey went well, they should be able to return to Hailansa City before the city gate closed.

There was a pile of cassava piled under Andrew's feet. He stepped on the pile of cassava with one foot, held a piece of cassava in his hand, and shouted loudly to the kobold slave who was dripping and huddled in the cold wind: "Who is there?" After taking a bath first, anyone can eat cassava, and those who don't want to take a bath will not have breakfast..."

The kobold slaves who have been imprisoned in the warehouse of Bena City for more than three months really need to take a good bath.

Samira, a half-elf archer, was wearing a red salamander leather armor and stood on a high hillside with a forest bow on her back.

She stared at the kobold slaves in the pond to prevent them from sneaking into the reeds and escaping. These kobold slaves were the private property of the Suldak knights, and even one of them could not be lost.Looking at the barren land without even a forest, Samira couldn't imagine what the people in the nearby villages lived on.

The ogre Gullitum sitting by the pond didn't think so much...

He was looking expectantly at the kobold slaves in the pond, hoping that any kobold slave would have the courage to escape, so that he could capture them back in a justifiable way, and then throw them into the bonfire beside him for a while. He licked his thick lips, squinted his eyes like a lion hunting antelope in the grass, and thought to himself: If he could sprinkle a layer of salt on the scorched kobold slave, it wouldn't be too bad.

Looking at the desolate mountains around, the succubus Aphrodite walked to the distant ridge alone.

After the reddish-brown rocks are weathered and broken, they are scattered on the hillside. When you step on it, you will roll down the hillside. There are some large rocks at the foot of the hill. When you walk up the hillside, you will find small pieces of gravel. more and more.Aphrodite looked at the blue sky, thinking that she would live here for a long time in the future, she couldn't wait to learn about the surrounding environment.

When she had wings before, she could see them whenever she flew into the sky, so she got used to knowing her surroundings no matter where she went. Now that her wings have been chopped off by the succubus of the same race, she can only climb the highest hillside with her legs. However, Aphrodite will not feel disappointed about this. Whenever she subconsciously prepares to flap her wings and fly, she will comfort herself in her heart: "I lost a pair of wings, but gained a vast sea and sky." '

……

After handing over a thousand kobold slaves to the care of the native warrior Andrew, Suldak walked into Wall Village alone.

He wasn't worried about these kobold slaves escaping, and it didn't matter how many kobolds escaped.What's more, they are not familiar with this barren land, as long as they don't cross the Pagros Pass, they can't survive here at all.

Eight wagons loaded with cassava stopped at the entrance of the village. Although the cassava was piled up like a hill, for more than a thousand kobolds, it was no more than ten days' rations at best. If you want to continue to feed them, you have to To keep buying more cassava from the city of Hailansa.

To feed so many kobold slaves at once, Suldak suddenly felt that the gold coins in his pocket would not last long.

This time, a total of [-] four-wheeled carriages were hired. Suldak asked those coachmen who were carrying kobold slaves to come to the village entrance to help unload the carts, but some coachmen who were carrying kobold slaves waited for the dog heads The human slave got off the cargo box, completed his hauling task, and then quietly bypassed the village entrance and returned to Hailansa City from the Paglos Mountain Pass. Some coachmen hurried to the village entrance with their four-wheeled carriages to help.

With the help of the coachmen, several thousand catties of cassava were unloaded to the open space at the entrance of the village.Suldak counted, and there were only 7 coachmen who were willing to rush over to help unload the truck.

A cart full of cassava needs to be bought from Hailansa City for about fifteen silver coins, plus the shipping fee of six silver coins, and a cart of cassava needs to be paid for about twenty silver coins. He paid out three gold coins, and signed a purchase agreement with the fifteen coachmen who stayed behind, asking them to deliver another cart of cassava to Wall Village in five days.

Moreover, Suldak also promised that they would not let them return empty when they returned to the city.

The coachmen who stayed behind had no idea that there would be business coming later, and they drove the carriage away from Wall Village with joy on their faces. With a day's income, in the off-season of this kind of car and horse business, it is naturally very happy to be able to receive this kind of haulage task.

Watching these four-wheeled carriages gradually go away, Suldak entered Wall Village.

It has been more than three months since I left Wall Village. From the outside, this small village has not changed much. There are some unfinished civil engineering works on the top of the ravine, and there are some scaffolding made of wood at the gate of the reservoir. But it looks like it's still down.

The branches of the dead tree at the entrance of the village have obviously decreased after this winter, and the broken wooden board with the words "Wall Village" painted with white powder foundation is hung on the cross branch of the dead tree, shaking back and forth when the wind blows .

Surdak walked up the dirt road, and the smoke from the village of Wall was rising in the early morning.

Breakfast is undoubtedly a luxury for the villagers of Wall Village. Except for the busy days in the wheat field, Wall Village generally eats two meals a day, so basically it will not start until the sun climbs the ridge. Eat breakfast.

The traditional breakfast food here is chestnut rice porridge, which is a porridge made of chestnut kernels, barley grains, and beans. It is boiled in the fireplace for more than two hours, and the beans can be cooked extremely fluffy and soft. After cooling, add A spoonful of maple syrup tastes very good, but in Wall Village, there are not many people who can afford maple syrup.

If there is a famine year, occasionally some cassava dices will be added to the porridge. In order to remove the toxins in the cassava, the villagers’ method is to cut the cassava into soybean-sized dices and soak them in cold water for two days, so that they can be drunk until the stomach will not be poisoned.

Several village women walked down from the upper reaches of the river carrying water cans, talking and laughing. This winter is not difficult this year. Every household has enough food reserves, and there is no tragedy that the roof collapsed due to heavy snow. Occasionally, they can eat dried chicken, duck and frozen sea fish, which they never dared to think about before, but now everyone knows that it is precisely the mining of yellow ore on the side of the pustule mountain that improves the life of the whole village.

Spring is here and the dry season has just begun.

Last autumn, the old village chief Brett led everyone to build a large dam in the upper reaches of the village. At this time, a pool of spring water was also filled, and the water shortage during the planting season in previous years will probably not be there.

When the group of village women saw Suerdak walking in from the entrance of the village, the eyes of the group of women became bright.

She almost went up to meet him, surrounded him, pushed her full and bulging chest up, and boasted to him, just like what she usually said when chatting.

"Oh, that's not Little Duck!" someone from among the village women exclaimed.

The well-informed village woman immediately corrected her and said, "You must call Lord Suldak Knight..."

"Haha, little Duck has become a master knight!" The other village women said with a smile, their smiles were exaggerated, but the smiles on their faces were so bright.

From the mouths of these village women, there seems to be no reverence for knights at all.

Suldak greeted briefly and walked towards the house.

When passing by Selena's house, he saw faint blue smoke from the chimney on the roof from a distance. He didn't go into the small courtyard, but walked quickly to the house. The courtyard wall was still a bit dilapidated. For a canonized knight with a knight collar, it is a bit too shabby to actually live in this kind of house.

Previously, there was no time to build a new house. Karl suggested that Suldak directly buy the Funak Manor, but Suldak still prefers to build a big house in Wall Village. The large villa in the attic should be built next to the stream, and it is best to build a small wooden bridge, and it is best to transplant a few chestnut trees in front of the house.

The old cows in the yard whined dully, and Rita's crisp whispers could be heard through the courtyard wall. She seemed to be chatting with Natasha.

Suldak raised his hand and opened the courtyard door, and saw Rita and Natasha squatting beside the cow, milking the cow with a small iron bucket.

The courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, and the two of them turned their heads to look at the door at the same time, only to see Suldak standing at the gate, Rita stood up from the ground in surprise, wiped her little hands on the apron twice, and was pleasantly surprised. Shouted: "Suldak is back..."

After speaking, he strode to the door and threw himself into Surdak's arms, his big blue eyes filled with excitement and joy.

On the contrary, Natasha stood quietly beside the cow. She was wearing an off-white cotton dress, her long blond hair was wrapped in a silk handkerchief, her big eyes were like shining night stars, and she had a faint smile on her face.

Hearing Rita's cry, the door of the house was pushed open, and little Peter rushed out with a wooden sword in his hand, squeezing between Rita and Suldak.

Old Sheila stood supporting the door, and the wrinkles on Old Sheila's face deepened this winter.

"Didn't you go out with the guard battalion to perform missions? Why are you still free?" Old Sheila asked Suldak.

When she received the letter from Suldak, she actually had nightmares for several days in a row. She didn't expect that Suldak actually returned after only three months.

Suldak let go of Rita, lifted little Peter to his shoulders, and then walked directly to the door, and said to old Sheila, "This time I went to a Maca plane, and I just returned to the city in a magic airship yesterday. , because I want to settle down some slaves, I came back overnight!"

"Haven't you had breakfast yet..." Old Sheila squinted her eyes, looking at Suldak with cloudy eyes and asked.

Suldak nodded with a smile, and followed old Sheila into the house.

As soon as Suldak sat down on the chair, he said to Rita who came in: "By the way, Rita, help me cook a big pot of wheat porridge later, I still have a few men at the entrance of the village, wait I will also prepare some breakfast for them, let’s prepare it for 20 people!”

"Your men?" Rita asked with wide eyes, puzzled to Suldak.

Suldak proudly pointed to the knight badge on his chest, and said to Rita: "I am now a small captain in the guard battalion. This time I participated in the Maca Plane War and recruited a few men, but They're a little bit special, you'd better be prepared when you see them later, there's a big guy, he's kind, don't be afraid to see him go, don't look too surprised."

"I heard from Charlie that you joined the guard battalion in the city, and now you have been promoted to be a captain?" Rita kept asking, "Does that mean we will move to the city in the future? ?”

Suldak rubbed his nose and replied: "Not for the time being, the official appointment at the guard battalion will come soon, and I will be the sheriff of the barren land outside the Pagros Pass in Hailansa City ..."

"..." Rita opened her mouth wide and looked at Suldak in disbelief. She never expected that Suldak would become a master knight in the guard camp just after a winter...

Chapter 494 Visit by the Old Village Chief

I heard that Suldak had returned to the village. Before he had finished his breakfast, the old village chief Brett brought Charlie and Luke to the door.

"Uncle Brett!" Suldak swallowed the last mouthful of multigrain porridge, and asked the old village chief and others to sit down in the living room of the room.

Old Sheila took little Peter out of the house, lest little Peter pester Suldak and affect everyone's discussion.

Natasha brought out a pot of tea from the kitchen and made lemon tea for everyone.

After entering the spring, the cistern built by Suerdak last fall has taken effect.

The period of late spring and early summer has always been the driest season in Wall Village. When there is plenty of water, almost all the mountain spring water in Wall Village flows into the downstream swamp and seeps into the ground. It is time for planting in spring. However, the springs on the mountain could not provide sufficient water, which led to the shortage of irrigation water in the village.

With this first-level reservoir, the villagers do not have to compete for irrigation water, which also solves the most troublesome problem of the old village head Brett. Every year, there are several conflicts in the village because of the competition for irrigation rights. Now it seems that , these problems seem to be solved.

A war broke out on the Maca plane. Hailansa city not only sent guard battalion knights to support it, but also collected a batch of strategic materials one after another in the later period. Due to the huge gap in the fire scale bomb, the price of sulfur ore in Hailansa city There was no way to discuss with Suerdak, the old village head resolutely sold a batch of sulfur ore, which made Wall Village another big profit in winter.

The old village chief took a sip of the lemon tea with maple syrup in his hand, moistened his dry throat, and then asked Surdak, "Dak, I heard that you went out with the guard battalion to perform missions, Why did you come back so soon?"

Luke and Charlie stared enviously at the Suldak magic pattern structure. Although they did not have this kind of magic armor, it did not mean that they did not know this precious magic pattern structure.

Suldak nodded slightly, and explained to the old village chief: "The mission of the guard battalion is over, so we withdrew from there."

Seeing the old village head looking over in surprise, Suldak said: "This time I went to the Maca plane with the guard battalion to participate in the city defense battle there. The security battalions in each city were the first to withdraw. This time I brought back a few helpers from the Maca plane. They will join me in forming the security team in the barren land outside the Pagros Pass. The guard battalions Captain Sauron appointed me as the captain of the security team, mainly responsible for the security issues in this area."

"Then will your studies at the Knight Academy be affected?" the old village chief Brett asked Suldak.

Suldak replied: "It will not affect my graduation certificate from the Knight Academy. In fact, I have already become a canonized knight of the Grimm Empire, and the fief has been officially approved. I will lead the knight to Bump Mountain."

When Suldak said this, there was an exclamation in the room.

"Pump mountain... on which volcano is your knight's collar drawn?" The old village chief frowned and asked Suldak with some dissatisfaction.

Suldak nodded. He took out his knight certificate from his magic pocket. Inside the certificate was a land authorization letter, and an attached map on it, which clearly showed the general outline of the area of ​​Pustule Mountain. On this map, Surdak's territory is surrounded by a dotted circle.

Suldak spread the map on the table, gestured to the old village chief and said, "To be precise, it should be the entire Pustule Mountain. I think we will increase efforts to mine the sulfur mines near Pustbag Mountain. At least Before those salamanders eat up the sulfur mines in the rocky area, grab some as much as possible."

The old village chief said with some embarrassment: "Dake, the labor force in our village is almost the same, and the barley planting season will soon be entered. During this period, I may not be able to continue mining sulfur mines in the rocky area of ​​Pubiao Mountain."

Suldak waved his hand and said, "I've thought about this a long time ago, so I came back this time... and brought back a group of kobold slaves. They will be the miners of the sulfur mine in Bump Mountain in the future. We just need to send a few supervisors to see Just go with them."

"Except for the supervisor, I hope that all the villagers in the village will withdraw from the pustule mountain."

"In addition, I also plan to seize the time to completely build the five-level reservoir upstream of the village before the rainy season arrives."

"Construct two drainage channels around the bend of the river, and transform the marshland of the bend into wheat fields."

Suldak briefly explained his thoughts, and then the old village chief Brett said with a dazed expression: "...Dark, you built the water reservoir not only to ensure the water supply for the wheat fields in the village, but also to control it. The tidal flats downstream of the river bend?"

Suldak said with a smile to the old village chief who was sitting opposite: "Currently, the rations produced by the wheat fields in the village are not enough for the whole village to feed for the first half of the year. If we want to improve this situation, of course we need to cultivate new fields around the village. There are very limited places that can be transformed in the wheat fields. At present, only the Beigou Grassland and the tidal flats in the river bay are suitable for transformation. It is much more difficult to open up wheat fields in the Beigou grassland than in the tidal flats in the river bay. I just want to control the tidal flats downstream."

Hearing what Suldak said, the old village chief nodded slightly, and then asked, "Dak, why don't you enlist Wall Village as your knight leader?"

Suldak shook his head and said:

"Helansa City's taxation on Wall Village is already at the lowest tax point. Even if you become my knight leader, there will be no more tax reductions. There are at least some sulfur mines on the pustule mountain. Now we It is already legitimate to build a mine there, no matter what, we need to have the right to mine that piece of land.”

"By the way, Uncle Brett, I bought back some kobolds this time. They need some temporary shelters, but they shouldn't stay here for long, and then I'll organize people to send them to the sulfur mine in Bump Mountain. "Suldak said to the old village chief again.

"Let's go, take me to see your kobold slave, if it's really not possible, temporarily lock it in the warehouse of the village's carpenter's workshop!" said the village chief Brett.

Rita was cooking porridge with chestnut rice and miscellaneous grains in a large pot. After Suerdak asked Rita to prepare breakfast, he sent it to the river bend outside the village.

Rita readily agreed, and waved the spoon in her hand to Surdak.

After saying this, he walked out of the house with the old village chief, and they discussed the resettlement of kobold slaves while walking.
