Lord Helanza

As everyone in the village knows, a group of kobold slaves dug an artificial canal on the edge of the beach in the lower reaches of Wall Village.

The main purpose of this canal is to drain the large amount of rainwater gathered from all around mountains in time when the rainy season is approaching. The tidal flat of the river bend will form a swamp every year due to abundant rainfall in summer. The film occupies a large area of ​​low valleys in the lower reaches of Wall Village, where a large number of reeds and red thatch grow.

Countless reeds and red thatchs grow from growth to wither, and finally rot completely, and over the years they become fertilizers for this tidal flat.

The old village chief Bright also summoned the villagers of Wall to manage this tidal flat, but they were shelved because of the huge amount of work. Surdak wanted to turn this fertile tidal flat into wheat. Before the rainy season comes, the most important thing is to block the abundant rainwater that gathers from the mountains on all sides and divert the rainwater to the entrance of an underground river.

The artificial river dug by the Kobold Slave is a drainage canal. In addition to this canal, the old village chief also plans to build a low-lying flood prevention dam on the periphery of the reclaimed tidal flat.

After nearly a month of excavation, the Kobold slave has dug a river nearly five kilometers long near the village of Wall. Since the deposited silt is only less than two meters, the Kobold slave has hollowed out the river. After the silt, the limestone rock layer at the bottom of the river was revealed. If you want to break this part of the rock layer further, not to mention the huge amount of work, you also need a rock pick to dig the rock layer.

Surdak stood on one side of the embankment, watching a group of kobold slaves lift the limestone blocks at the bottom of the river to the edge of the embankment to build a stone wall, and dozens of villagers of Wall were there. Cement grout was poured into the cracks in the limestone to form a flood control dam nearly one meter above the ground. looked towards the old village head Bright and asked: "Bright uncle, can you see this canal drain the rainwater from all around the mountains?"

"If the rain is heavy in the year, This canal is probably not enough, but the precipitation in Desolate Land in the past few years has been less than a year. If calculated based on last year's rain, this drainage canal is definitely more than enough." The wrinkles on the old village head Bright’s face are comfortable. Unfolding, the management of this tidal flat is a long-cherished wish that he has not been able to accomplish for so many years. Now seeing these kobold slaves dig out the river a little bit, the old village chief feels full of emotion in his heart.

According to the old village chief’s estimation, this canal will be dug to the entrance of the underground river in two months. Surdak wants to widen the channel by ten meters. This is not a difficult task. These dog heads The slaves are not slow in digging the mud in the tidal flats, but Surdak still wants to dig the river one meter deep. The bottom of the river has already been dug into the limestone rock layer. If you dig down, you can only dig a little bit of stones, watching the canal. The progress of the excavation slowed down, and the old village chief Bright was still a little impatient.

Surdak pointed to the other side of the flood control dam and said to the old village chief Bright: "We can plant some Willow Trees on both sides of the embankment of this canal in the future..."

'What is the purpose of planting Willow Tree, it is better to plant some chestnut trees and oak trees, and you can harvest boar and oak fruit in autumn. What use will Willow Tree do? '

The old village chief Bright said in his heart.

Of course he didn't know that someone wanted to grow Willow Tree by the river out of a certain sentiment.

Although he disagrees with this, but it is not to the extent that he must oppose it. He is thinking about something else.

"Little Duck, are you really not going to include this place in your territory?"

Village Chief Bright does not understand that Surdak has spent huge sums of money to rebuild Wall Village to build a reservoir , And dug a river channel to open up new wheat fields in the tidal flat land, but did not want to designate this land as their own Knight collar. This is of course good for the villagers of Wall, but Surdak is of no benefit. The old village head Bright feels that he still needs peace Surdak talked about it seriously.

Surdak laughed indifferently and said: "The boundary monuments of my territory are all erected. On the territory of Helanza, my territory covers almost the entire impotence mountain. Apart from being unsuitable for living, there are other Not bad, in addition to owning a sulfur mine, a large amount of volcanic ash accumulated in the territory. These volcanic ash is a first-class construction material. After the construction of the reservoir in the village is completed, I am also going to sell these volcanic ash cement to Helanza City. Go."

"Whether it is building a house or building a city wall, no material is more suitable than these cements." Surdak pointed to a pile of volcanic ash cement not far away, and said to the old village chief: "Wal Village Although the land here is very good, even if I own this Knight collar and a large new wheat field, even if all the wheat from these wheat fields is ground into wheat flour in the future, how much benefit will it bring me?"

The mayor of Bright sees a sturdy reservoir and dam built up with his own eyes. Of course, he clearly understands how convenient this volcanic ash is. After adding a special kind of lime powder, it can be built as strong as a rock. Shiqiang, but he has never considered'volcanic ash can also be sold for money'.

"Those volcanic ash everywhere...can also be sold?" The old village head looked at Surdak in surprise.

"Of course, you also know how strong the reservoir dam is poured with volcanic ash cement. These volcanic ash cement can be used not only to build the city wall of Helanza, but also to build stronger houses. There are many half-stone and half-timbered lofts in Helanza. If you use this volcanic ash cement to build, you can add at least two floors. Such a good building material, if it is very cheap, is even more expensive than wood. Low, someone is willing to buy."

In this regard, Surdak still has some confidence.

The old village chief Bright hesitated, but couldn't help but say what he was holding in his heart.

He reminded Surdak: "I have no problem with widening the channel of this canal, but the limestone layer at the bottom of the river needs to be dug up. I am worried that before the rainy season, this drainage canal may not be The underground river over there completes the last step of connection, and moreover, people need to open up that tidal flat."

Surdak walked down the river embankment and stood in the limestone channel, and said to the old village chief:" I plan to let the villagers open up the land of the tidal flat. In a few days, I will release the land there. Then you have to divide the land for everyone to avoid unnecessary disputes."

"Are you not going to want this land?" Village Chief Bright couldn't understand the youngster in front of him.

Surdak shook the head and said: "My Knight is on the side of Pustule Mountain. Although my personal relationship with the tax officer Bird is pretty good, when the time comes when the tax is collected in the fall, this piece Rye fields must pay taxes to the empire. If they are distributed to everyone, given the poor subsidy bill introduced by the city hall, this part of the tax is estimated to be a symbolic levy."

The old village chief Wright thought in his heart, maybe this is Knight's vision!

……

After Surdak led the security squad back to Wall Village, Andrew and Samira assumed the duties of the security officer and started working in the nineteen natural villages on Desolate Land Patrol the area and start drawing a new map of Desolate Land.

The two of them rode Gubolai horses around these villages, and they have a general understanding of this barren Desolate Land.

There is a shortage of supplies here. These villages are far poorer than they thought, and most of the villagers have never seen the world. They can’t even tell the difference between the guard camp Knight and the tax officer. Seeing Andrew wearing the uniform of the guard camp, he thought he was a tax officer. Seeing Andrew appearing from a distance, he jumped in fright, making Andrew think he had encountered the bandits of the bandit group at first.

When he rushed over, he realized that these villagers who had fled from the wild were poor villagers who almost couldn't afford to drink porridge.

ogre Gulitem everyday all Follow the carriage of volcanic ash into the depths of Desolate Land.

He went to the depths of Desolate Land, of course not for the volcanic ash, but for hunting the limestone iguanas living on the Gobi Desert. Ogre was almost obsessed with the braised lizard tail. This season is not the best time to hunt the limestone iguana. If ogre wants to eat this kind of delicacy, he must enter the depths of Desolate Land to hunt.

Only the succubus Aphrodite has the easiest life. What she likes to do every day is to sit on the ridge and bask in the sun.

The villagers all know that she is Surdak's retinue.

Surdak brought back a mithril-coated mask from Helanza. It was a mask polished as smooth as a mirror. Except for the holes in the eyes, everything else was extremely smooth. She was very Like this mask, she almost wears it on her face every day, and she never greets people in the village, at most occasionally walking around behind Surdak to see the excitement.

So that the people in the village are used to her existence, but they dare not approach her, and no one will take the initiative to provoke her.

At the end of the month, Charlie took five villagers to the sulfur mine in the rocky area, and replaced Luke who was stationed there with five other villagers.

The bottom of the Level 2 reservoir in Wall Village has finally completed the final leveling, and the grouting of the waterproof layer at the bottom of the pool has begun. Volcanic ash was transported at the pond construction site, and the bricklayers on the construction site were all busy until late, and even Rita and Natasha who were responsible for cooking for the bricklayers had to come back very late.

Surdak has been choosing a site for the Desolate Land security team outside the Paglos Pass in recent days. In the end, the old village chief Bright made a final decision, just upstream of the village near the edge of the Level 5 reservoir. A plot of land was demarcated.

Surdak intends to build a three-story villa along the hillside here. The blueprint of the specific building will have to be discussed several times with Celia Cooper. This magician who is good at space magic also has a good understanding of architecture. Certainly dabbled in, several talks gave Surdak some useful suggestions.

But what made Surdak didn't expect was the visit of the law enforcement group Lance of the Helanza Magic Union.

Little Peter is standing on the hillside, pointing at a dark figure in the sky, and yelling to Surdak excitedly: "Surdak, look! That person can fly..."

Surdak asked a group of bricklayers around him to continue, and he walked to Little Peter's side and looked at the dark shadow in the sky against the dazzling sunlight.

When the magic handle became clear enough, Surdak finally saw the magician riding on the handle.

The magic wand hovered around the cistern, and then plunged one head down, and landed beside Surdak. The young magician wearing a beige magic robe jumped from the magic wand , Surdak greeted him and hugged him, then said kindly:

"Lance, how come you have time to come to me?"

"I'm here on a special trip this time I'm looking for you!" Lance said to Surdak, and then he saw little Peter standing beside Surdak with a timid look, and asked Surdak, "This is your son?"

Surdak laughed , Nodded.

Lance took two steps to little Peter, squatted down in front of him, and stretched out his hand to take out an exquisite wooden box from his arms.

Surdak thought that wooden box was a music box.

Lance easily lifted the wooden box cover, and a dancing little fireman appeared in the wooden box.

Little Peter looked at the little fireman in the wooden box in amazement. He could even feel the hot temperature of the little fireman. He wanted to reach out and take it, but he didn’t dare. He looked at Surdak a little bit hesitantly, Surdak nodded to him encouragingly.

At this time, Lance had re-covered the wooden box and handed it to little Peter.

"Thank you!" Little Peter said in a naive voice.

Lance smiled and said to little Peter: "You should call me Lance Uncle!"

"Thank you, Lance Uncle!" Little Peter said again.

"Remember, you must not play with this box in the hay and firewood!" Lance reached out and touched little Peter's head and warned him repeatedly.

Surdak walked to Lance and signaled that little Peter could go there to find old Sheila, then turned his head and looked towards Lance, and asked him: "You came to me so specially, what happened? What's the matter?"

"Do you know the Dalle magician of the White Elephant Trading Company?" Lance blunt asked.

"Yes, I have some business dealings with Dalle Magician. I found an open sulphur mine in Knight, and almost all of the sulphur extracted recently has been sold to the White Elephant Trading Company." Surdak answered truthfully.

"It turned out that it was for the sulfur that you led Knight to the place where the birds don't shit!" Lance said with a daze.

"Pay attention to the quality! You are an excellent magician nobleman, you shouldn't speak so rudely..." Surdak countered his friend.

"Ha, well, let's talk about business, and I will go to other places to investigate later!" Lance said, "We suspect that this Dall magician and a group of space magicians exist A certain connection, this group of space magicians collectively defected from the Grimm Empire Magician Guild a few years ago."

"Is it the Black Magic Priory?" Surdak let out a cold sweat behind his back.

Lance shook the head said: “It’s not a monastery, it’s another illegal space magic organization. In order to find space magic Profound Truth, these space magicians contacted some imperial magic unions to publicly announce ’S taboo magic, so...you know, sometimes those who don’t follow the rules are always vulnerable to rejection..."
