Lord of Hyranza

The old village chief didn't feel surprised when he heard the quarrel. He only said that these kobold slaves have been restless recently.

When the two walked to the kobold slave camp, they saw that the village supervisor was yelling at a group of kobolds. The leader of the kobolds had a candle on his head.A group of kobolds whimpered in protest behind the kobold leader.

Before Suldak could figure out what was going on, Village Chief Brett explained the cause and effect of the incident.

The reason is that Suldak is a little dumbfounded. The kobold slaves are protesting to the overseers. They think that even as slaves, they will not be able to live in such a dishonorable way in the future. Living separately, they need two slave camps. The old village head thinks it's nothing, just divide the slave camp into two and separate them from the middle.

But the next request of the kobold slaves is a bit over the line. The kobold slaves hope that their daily labor can be converted into contribution points. As long as the contribution points are sufficient, the village will allow the kobold slaves to form families, and the newly formed families must There are separate rooms to ensure privacy and so on.

These kobold slaves began to protest for some benefits for themselves.

However, they just make trouble after dinner and before going to bed, and they still work honestly during the day, and when it's time to sleep, they will obediently return to the camp to rest.

Village Chief Brett felt very troubled by this, and felt that it was necessary to discuss this matter with Suldak. Seek benefits yourself.

The old village head had already planned to separate the slave camp after the Harvest Festival, but he did not agree to the request to prepare a single gun house for men and women.

Suldak couldn't figure out why this group of obedient kobold slaves had always been honest, so they made so many demands recently...

But then he discovered the problem. He saw the necklace on the neck of the kobold leader at a glance. It was a necklace made of stones. Unusually, the pendant is a stone in the shape of a crescent moon.

At this time, Suldak suddenly remembered that more than a month ago, Selena had put her arms around herself and said that she wanted to try to develop followers of the Goddess of Darkness among this group of kobold slaves—the effect seems to be very significant so far. Obviously, the kobold leader has become a follower of the Goddess of Darkness, and even wears a necklace representing Moonlight around his neck...

He even suspected that the kobold slaves were fighting for their rights this time because they were instructed by Selena.

After this entire summer, the kobold slaves have proved their worth to the villagers of Wall. From the beginning of digging the river channel to the later digging of stones in the quarry, they have always worked hard and borne most of the hardest work. The most tiring work, so that now they are making some demands, and the old village chief feels that he can satisfy them as much as possible.

Seeing the old village chief and Suldak rushing over so late, the supervisor thought they had rushed here because they heard that the kobold slaves were making a camp. He whipped the kobold leader hard.

The kobold leader was prostrate on the ground, facing the supervisor's whip, with a candle on his head, and he was meditating silently as he crawled on the ground.

"Val, who gave you permission to whip them..."

The old village chief walked over quickly, grabbed the whip from the village supervisor's hand, and scolded angrily.

Chapter 566 Change

The old village chief squatted under the dead tree at the entrance of the village with a melancholy expression, and the plaque with the words 'Wall Village' was blown swaying by the wind above his head.

The market at the entrance of the village is in a mess. Vendors get into the row houses to rest, and they have to get out before dawn tomorrow. Their precious goods will be stored in the rented row house warehouses, and the worthless ones will be piled up At the door of the rented row house.

At this time, occasionally some strange noises could be heard from the row house.

There were far fewer tents for the adventure group, and many adventure groups traveled through the Badlands and into Pagros Mountain, and no one said what they were finding.

The old village chief was still nagging, and the wrinkles on his forehead had become very deep, like the cracks on the rocks on the top of the mountain that had been carved by the wind.

"What's going on with these young people now? After a few days of good times, why did they even change their original intentions?"

"The child Val was not like this before. When he was starving, he was the eldest in the family. His parents went to Oak Ridge to find something to eat. He took care of the little ones at home. When he was very hungry, he ran to the north. Going to the ditch grassland to dig the thirsty roots and bring them home to boil water to drink. The young one was so hungry that he was reluctant to take a sip. No matter how hard he lived, he never stole anything. How soft-hearted he was at that time ! When shepherding sheep for the village, every sheep slaughtered in the village will hide behind the stone mill and cry for a long time."

"Now that I'm full, dressed warmly, and hardened, how can I live like the last thing I wanted to see?"

"What's the difference between him and a foreman under a slave owner?"

"How come you don't even recognize yourself?"

The old village chief sat under a tree, the pipe in his hand flickering in the dark night.

Suldak sat aside, thinking that he might have to discuss it with Selena tomorrow, and this step seemed a bit big for her.

Since this matter was somewhat unclear, Suldak decided not to continue entangled in this matter. He quickly changed the subject and discussed with the old village chief about the sale of the sulfur mine. Dingbao, how to transport the sulfur ore there has become a problem. According to Suldak’s plan, he wants to sign a contract of carriage with the carriage and horse company in Hailansa City, and the transportation of the sulfur ore will be entrusted to Hailansa rides on horses and chariots.

It would take at least two weeks to transport a cart of sulfur mines to Constantinople, so the cost of traveling would not be less than 800 silver coins. It seems that the absolute amount is huge, but the cost of a carriage The load of the coachman is about [-] to [-] pounds. Based on the minimum load of [-] pounds, the shipping fee for each pound of sulfur ore is actually less than four copper coins.

In fact, the purchase price of the sulfur mine that Iman Owen offered to Suldak was 5 silver and 40 copper per pound, so the premium on shipping costs was about [-] copper coins, which included cost management and so on. , there is still a lot left after paying the freight.

Hearing that Suldak was going to hand over the transportation of this piece of fat to Hailansa, the old village head suddenly felt a little pained. It is not that there are no four-wheeled carriages in the village. Not only that, the current four-wheeled carriages in the village have expanded to 52, which is equivalent to half the number of four-wheeled carriages of Hailansa Carriage Co., but now the reservoir construction site, small townhouses and Karl's villa all need a lot of volcanic ash, and almost all the carriages in the village are transporting volcanic ash.

As the project gets bigger and bigger, some places with volcanic ash closest to Wall Village have been swept away, and the convoy has to extend to the depths of the barren land, and the journey of transporting volcanic ash is unconscious. A lot has been added.

Suldak has always wanted to pave a flat avenue with volcanic ash cement in the barren land, but this plan has been delayed again and again, and now the reservoir project is about to be completed, and there is no shadow of this cement road. .

"Let's do this for the time being. The sulfur ore will be transported to Constantinople and handed over to the carriage dealer. The four-wheeled carriage transporting volcanic ash in the village can't move yet. I plan to take advantage of this autumn to pave a road between Pustbump Mountain and Wall Village." The straight road shortens the time to go to the Lava River Sulfur Mine in Pustule Mountain to less than two days. The mountain road in Oak Ridge is too difficult to walk. After the first heavy snow every year, from Wall Village to High Lansa City It becomes very difficult to walk, and if we want to transport the sulfur mine out safely, we have to repair this road."

The tidal flat in the lower reaches of the river bend has now become a fertile field, and the canal dug by the kobold slaves sparkles in the moonlight.

Suldak stood up, took two steps forward, and said to the old village chief:

"I plan to repair the pond in the Beigou Grassland this autumn. At least it can store some water, so that the seabuckthorn grass and immortality grass on the slopes can start to grow in spring. We need to build a pasture. Then The land on the side is low-lying and the water and grass are luxuriant in summer. It is definitely not a good place. As long as the drought in the dry season can be solved, the grassland there can grow."

The old village head still has reservations about building a pasture to herd sheep.

In the past, Woer Village did not renovate the Beigou pasture, and raised a large group of gazelles. Now it is necessary to renovate the Beigou pasture, which means investing a lot of manpower, material resources and money. The old village head does not think he will eat more mutton What can be changed.

Village Chief Brett said, "Dark, even if we don't build a pasture, that pasture is enough for us to raise gazelle."

Thinking of the ogre, Suldak quickly waved his hand and said, "We need to increase the number of sheep, otherwise these yellow sheep are not enough for Gulitum to eat alone. Apart from these yellow sheep, I also plan to raise some horses, maybe there will be a guard battalion knight squadron here in the future, there must be a place to put the horses."

"I still need to raise horses!" Village Chief Brett was a little stunned. Now Wall Village has raised more than 50 horses, all of which are used to pull four-wheeled carriages. A guard battalion squadron needs at least [-] to [-] horses. For war horses, the Beigou pasture is not that big, not enough for hundreds of horses to chew on.

"Of course it needs to be raised. If Wall Village is to continue to develop, the Beigou Grassland must be operated." Suldak said.

Unlike yellow sheep, horses can also be counted as wealth in the Green Empire. If it weren't for the bandit group and the northern rebels donating horses twice, it would be impossible for Wall Village to have so many horses now. More than 50 horses are worth at least [-] More than gold, the value of war horses must be higher.

Suldak continued:

"After the Harvest Festival, the militia battalion will go into the barren land for field training, and also need to organize a small logistics supply team, which also needs horses."

The old village head looked at Suerdak in astonishment, and asked, "Your militia battalion that has been receiving rations and never assembled?"

"Um……"

Suldak agreed.

……

Pushing open the yard gate, Surdak led the horse in.

Lead the Gubolai horse to the stable on the side, and unsaddle the saddle without a sound. The trough in the stable is covered with chopped alfalfa.

Suldak was just about to fetch a bucket of water from the water jar by the wall.

The wooden door of the villa was pushed open, and Rita, who was wearing pajamas and pajamas, walked out yawning and said to Surdak, "Why did you come back? Natasha and I saw you and the old village chief passing by the square, you Haven't eaten yet?"

Without waiting for Suldak's answer, Rita quickly took over Suldak's bucket and said to him, "Go in, leave this to me!"

As soon as the lights were turned on in the hall on the first floor, Suldak walked in and saw Natasha tiptoeing to put the lampshade of the wall lamp back on.

Seeing Suldak walking in with a tired face, he walked forward silently, regardless of his dusty body, gave him a big hug, and then handed him a wet towel, while he was wiping When he was facing his face, Natasha began to help him untie the leather armor on his body. I don’t know how long this set of salamander leather armor has been worn on his body. The shirt inside the leather armor has white salt stains. How many times have you soaked in sweat.

The buckles on the leather armor left several deep indentations on Suldak's shoulders, and Suldak's whole body was sore.

Natasha stood behind Suldak, put her face on his sweaty back, put her hands around his waist, and hugged him tightly.

"what……"

Suldak turned his head slightly and asked.

In his memory, Natasha has always been the kind of woman who stood silently behind her. She would not take the initiative or refuse. She was timid, careful, gentle and sensitive, but she would not take the initiative.

"It's nothing, I just want to hug you."

Natasha hid behind Suldak and whispered.

"Ahem, I thought the two of you would be in the restaurant..." Rita stood at the door in her pajamas, coughed twice, then walked past the two of them as if nothing had happened, and walked up to the second floor.

"Ah, I forgot that you haven't had dinner yet. I left a fried meatloaf in the kitchen. It's probably still hot now!"

Natasha woke up suddenly, and quickly ran into the kitchen behind the restaurant.

Suldak hung the untied leather armor on the wooden shelf at the door, wiped his face, and then walked into the dining room...

Chapter 567: Morning Exercise

After eating the dinner carefully prepared by Natasha, Suldak patted his stomach and drank the liqueur in the glass in one gulp.

Seeing Natasha busy in the kitchen in her nightgown, Suldak felt that life is really good now, and took a comfortable bath in the bathroom. During the period, there was a blushing Natasha He ran over to help rub his back, and by the time he climbed into bed, most of the night had passed.

Suldak approached Natasha, who was pretending to sleep with her eyes closed, lifted the quilt and got in...

Natasha fell into a deep sleep when the sky turned pale, and Mai Se's face was still flushed.

Suldak has been living and sleeping in the open these days. He rushed back from Constantinople to Wall Village, Hailansa City overnight. If he said he was tired, he was indeed very tired, but he didn't know why he couldn't sleep at this time.

Lying on the bed without any sleepiness, he tossed and turned for a while, then tiptoed out of the bed, took out the repaired 'Earth Shield' magic-pattern set from the magic pocket, placed it on the carpet in the bedroom carefully Check it out, repairing this set of 'Earth Shield' magic pattern structure costs a total of [-] gold coins to repair. I have to say that the inscription master is the most profitable and profitable profession.

However, this time the magician Francis did not accept the money from Suldak, but converted the fee into a deposit for salamander fresh tail meat, poison sac, and heart, so that as long as Suldak had fresh salamander meat, , I sent some to him. As a fire magician, he often eats the meat of fire monsters, which can not only improve his physique, but also enhance his affinity for the fire element.

Suldak readily accepted, and when he was taking the magic pattern construction, he was only talking about these things, and he didn't have time to check how the magic pattern construction was going.

Now when I dug it out, I found that the entire set of magic patterns seems to have been completely refurbished. All the damage and scratches on the armor made of magic black iron were repaired by magician Francis with magic red copper, and polished smooth without gaps. It's just that there are some messy lines on the magic pattern structure.

Sitting on the carpet, wearing the magic-weave structures one by one, and installing the magic crystals on the bases of each gemstone, Suldak suddenly felt the magic power on the magic-weave structures begin to flow slowly, A force poured into the body from all parts of the structure, and this set of structures was also connected with countless mana threads, which was no different from before.

Suldak was not in a hurry to take off the magic pattern structure, he walked carefully to the terrace outside the bedroom, sat cross-legged on the wicker chair, and meditated against the rising sun.

Entering the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness, Suldak's sea of ​​spiritual consciousness has now been divided into two distinct worlds. The upper part is a world of light composed of countless lit stars. The pure and innocent holy light connects all the stars together. , occupying the upper area of ​​the Sea of ​​Spiritual Consciousness.

And the lower half of the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness is pitch black, with all the dark stars hidden in it, and the two worlds seem to be separated by an invisible and transparent wall.

What surprised Suldak was that a star was actually bred in this darkness. The reason why it can be noticed is that it has a purple outline. In the extremely lonely and dark world, that star A touch of dark purple completely outlines the outline of the dark star, and the whole dark star exudes a trace of death.

This dark star did not emit any brilliance, and caused other stars in the darkness to light up one by one, just like the upper half of the sea of ​​consciousness formed a bright sea of ​​stars.

Instead, it constantly absorbs dark elements from the surroundings, and Suldak can feel that it seems to be devouring it non-stop. As long as there is a trend in the surrounding darkness, it will be completely absorbed by it, and it is here. This silent devouring process continuously strengthened him, and now a purple outline appeared all over his body, which gradually became clear in Suldak's sea of ​​consciousness.

And the two-faced four-armed demon statue originally standing in the sea of ​​consciousness seemed to have never appeared, and Suldak couldn't even find a trace of it.

As the morning sun rose slowly, Suldak felt that the big dark star glowing with purple light in the Sea of ​​Consciousness actually fell silent, and the glaring beams of sunlight from the morning sun turned into triangular beams of light, shining through Suldak's body. Then, the bright stars in the sea of ​​consciousness became brighter, and the holy light shot towards the places that the sea of ​​consciousness couldn't reach, and immediately expanded half of the area of ​​Suldak's spiritual sea of ​​consciousness.

At this moment, Suldak felt as if an invisible glass mirror was broken in front of him, and his thoughts were like raging tides, pouring out into the infinite vast world, and there were endless unlit lights in the sea of ​​consciousness. starry.

A stream of abundant and pure holy power fell from the top of Suldak's head and completely poured into his body.

Suldak only felt that his body was bathed in the holy light, and under the washing of the holy light, those dark wounds accumulated over time were healing little by little.

The sacred aura overflowed Surdak's body, and his whole body exuded a sacred aura.

Under the urging of old Sheila, little Peter has to do morning exercises in the yard every morning. According to Andrew's request, little Peter has to stand in the yard and swing his sword a thousand times, and then hold a shield to maintain a blocking posture. He wants little Peter to take these The basic fighting movements are deeply embedded in his mind, becoming a subconscious response, a fighting instinct.

And little Peter did not disappoint old Sheila, he could bear the hardship completely...

Now old Sheila and little Peter stood in the yard, looking up at Suldak who was sitting cross-legged on the terrace, his whole body exuded a soft light.

Little Peter yelled with excitement.

Old Sheila put her finger on her lips, signaling him not to disturb Suldak.

Rita, who was milking the cows, also came out of the cowshed with a wooden barrel at this time.

She looked up at the man on the terrace who called her brother. Over the past year, he has devoted almost everything to changing the life of Wall Village, but the biggest change in life is her own home. I feel that I have no worries about food and clothing, and I live in a big house that I dare not dream of, and I am respected by all the villagers in the village.

Natasha was awakened by the blinding light. She hugged the quilt and sat up from the bed, seeing the bright sky outside the curtains.

She hurriedly stretched out her smooth arms from under the quilt, leaned over to pick up the nightgown scattered on the floor, put it on quickly, and jumped out of bed with bare feet. She had never woken up so late before...

……

The sacred power on his body dissipated, and Suldak felt that his control over the holy light had increased a lot.

On the terrace, he saw the ogre Gulitham running over from the security station, and without waiting for Gulitham to come over, he leaned on the railing with both hands and shouted at the ogre: "Gulitham ..."

The fighting spirit in my heart spread out along with this shout.

The ogre also felt Suldak's strong fighting spirit, and he slowed down slightly. Originally, he was discussing with Suldak whether he could roast a salamander for dinner at the Harvest Festival. He had already prepared all the ingredients. Well, I didn't expect to find Suerdak standing on the terrace calling his name as if he had been beaten with chicken blood just after running over.

Gulitum really wanted to say to Suldak, "We are all good friends, why do you have to fight and kill... Wouldn't it be nice to have some food and drink to discuss?" '

However, the blood of fighting flows in the ogre's body, and he is born with an unyielding fighting will in his bones. Standing on the large open space left by the fifth-level water reservoir, he issued a wave to Suldak who was striding forward. A roar.

"howl……"

The ogre's loud voice almost made a sound.

He clenched his fists with both hands and slammed them hard on his strong chest, like beating a war drum...

Suldak rushed towards the ogre with big strides, one step, two steps, three steps, each step almost stepped on the ogre's drumbeat, and his aura was constantly rising, the Holy Spirit in his hand The light torch exudes a blinding holy light.

When he was 20 meters away from the ogre, Suldak stomped on a boulder slab with both legs, and the mana of the magic patterns all over his body flowed. .

The next moment, the stone slabs shattered one after another, and Suldak's body rose into the air, holding the holy torch with both hands high above his head in midair.

'Is the simple morning exercise necessary to be so bloody? '
