NOVEL NEXT Chapter 266: The Village
There is only a simple fence around the village, and it seems that there are still many gaps that have not been filled, making people wonder what the purpose of this fence is.
But the buildings inside surprised Xia Yu even more. They were all made of simple wood, and there were many holes like fences, and some of them could be directly regarded as dangerous buildings.
At first glance, there were only a few children or old people scattered on the road. Of course, as the carriage approached, some women came out curiously.
But young men are very rare.
The carriage came all the way to the center of the village. When Elana got off the carriage, an old man greeted her, "Is this the lord sent by the city?"
He recognized the carriage as the lord's exclusive carriage.
"Yes, where is the lord's mansion? You are the village chief, you go and tell the village leaders to come to the center of the village tomorrow." Elana instructed the village chief.
"Okay, no problem, the lord's mansion is just ahead, but..." the old man looked embarrassed and couldn't continue.
In fact, he didn't need to say it, Elana also guessed what the Lord's Mansion would be like now, the village was like this, how good the Lord's Mansion could be.
"Let's go," Xia Yu's voice came down.
"yes."
.....
All the way to the Lord's Mansion, Xia Yu got off the carriage, looked at the building in front of him, and shook his head, "This is no longer a dilapidated house, but a half-demolished house."
Compared with ordinary houses, the house and land area of the Lord's Mansion are obviously much larger, but now half of the Lord's Mansion has collapsed, and the other half will fall a lot of wood as the breeze blows.
"Elanna, you order to let the gray dwarves help me rebuild the lord's mansion." Xia Yu thought for a while and said, after all, it's all their wages, so it's no problem to ask them to help repair a house.
"Yes, my lord."
The old man just arrived at this time, looking at Xia Yu's back trembling, "Leader, Lord Lord...we..."
"Don't be so afraid, you can't be blamed for this kind of thing," Xia Yu waved to the old man indifferently, "But can you tell me, how is your situation now?"
As soon as Xia Yu came in, he felt that something was wrong in this village. There were too few young men, and most of the families were actually doing funerals.
This is not normal.
Hearing Xia Yu's words, the old man couldn't hold back for a while, knelt down in front of Xia Yu, and cried, "Master Lord, you have to be the master for us!"
Xia Yu helped him up with his backhand. He hadn't gotten into the old man's habit of kneeling, so his life was shortened.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. Since I'm here, I will definitely make the decision for you."
Xia Yu also intends to unleash his talent in the Bone Territory here, and he also needs to make these citizens not repulsive, and even needs their cooperation to a certain extent.
I came to the abyss not only for the fine gold mine, but also for the 10,000-square-kilometer Bone Territory to unseal the death salute.
"That's right, my lord..."
The old man told Xia Yu one by one about the grievances in his heart.
Half a month ago, a Scarlet Flame Demon Ape suddenly sprang out from the forest. It actually lived by the only freshwater lake, and would attack any creatures that approached the water source.
Originally, I wanted to go to the nearest city to ask for support, but found that there were demon wolves wandering on the road outside the village, and they couldn't get out at all.
as time flows.
The hunters in the village knew that this was not going to work, so they decided to hunt the Scarlet Flame Demon Ape.
They brought all the young men in the village there, but what they didn't expect was that the Scarlet Flame Demon Ape actually had a partner.
Just as they were besieging the Red Flame Demon Ape, another Red Flame Demon Ape suddenly came out and killed more than half of the young men in the village. Even the master hunter captain did not escape.
Now the village is on the verge of extinction, and has lost a large number of young men. Even if they want to leave this Yong'an collar, they can't do it.
But now a lord actually came to this land and became the old man's savior.
"Most of the young men were killed or injured..." Xia Yu frowned, "I don't know how that prospector is doing now."
Before coming to Abyss, Zhou Qinghuai told himself that they left a local in this village, who also knew the location of the secret gold mine.
If he didn't find him, the hidden deep secret gold mine would not be easy to find even if he was given a map.
After all, if it was so easy to find, it would have been discovered by others long ago.
"Liker, are you still alive?" Xia Yu asked.
"Likker? You know the coward like Likker?" the old man suddenly said angrily.
"As a master archer, he actually refused to hunt the Scarlet Flame Demon Ape, otherwise our loss would not have been so great."
"It looks like he's still alive," Xia Yu thought as his eyes sank slightly.
"Please ask someone to tell him that the lord of the Dragon Kingdom is here, let him come to see me.
As for the Red Flame Demon Ape, I will help you solve it. "
Faced with Xia Yu's confident words, the old man didn't bother to scold Liker anymore, and said to Xia Yu, "Of course it's okay, I'll call that coward like Liker over here."
At this time, the gray dwarves also got out of the carriage, and the number of gray dwarves now was ten times that of the local people. The local humans looked at so many gray dwarves from a distance, and did not dare to go forward.
These Xia Yu saw it, and called Elana, "Elanna, I will trouble you to pay more attention to this matter."
Elana nodded and said, "No problem, this little matter is easy to solve."
Looking at the confident Elana, Xia Yu also nodded in satisfaction, as expected of the secretary sent by the city lord.
Soon the old man came over, with a man with his arms hanging down to his knees, with a huge iron bow behind his back, his face looked a little gloomy, and the beard on his face looked like he hadn't shaved for many years.
"Hey, this human's beard is actually much longer than mine." Gray Steel rubbed his beard unwillingly.
"Say hello to the lord," the old man said, pressing on Riker's shoulder.
"My lord, good." A trace of helplessness flashed in Liker's eyes, but he still listened to the old man's words very much.
"Liker, let's get in the carriage and talk." Xia Yu invited him.
"Um."
Liker quickly broke away from the old man's hand and got into the carriage.
"Liquer, you have to watch your words." The old man shouted anxiously from behind, for fear that Liquell would offend the lord.
"You are the lord from Dragon Kingdom, what's the evidence?" Liker looked at Xia Yu.
"Your reward, this is enough for you to break through to the hero level."
Xia Yu also took out the reward Long Guo promised to give him, a bottle of medicine that was made by Yuanlong School with great effort and alchemy, which can improve the strength of non-professionals.
When used by professionals, it can increase the attribute potential.
