Lord of Riding and Slashing

Chapter 5 Buying Grain

Nord ordered Abel to distribute the baked bread to everyone. The wheat bread rewarded by the system is different from the black bread just now. The golden shell exudes a unique aroma of wheat after being baked. Rather soft.

Although Colin is the village head, the situation of Colin's family is not much better than that of the villagers. From time to time, he can eat some meat harvested by Lehman, but he has never eaten such finely crafted bread. The Yate brothers and sisters each held a big loaf of bread and ate it very sweetly, with their little mouths stuffed to the brim.

Lehman and the others were also enjoying the rare food. Only Colin continued to eat the dark and hard black bread after eating two bites of wheat bread. Seeing Nord's eyes, Colin smiled indifferently.

Lord Nord, the bread you brought is very delicious. Only in Manton City, the capital of the Seaman Kingdom, can there be such wheat bread. The land of the Seaman Kingdom is fertile, and the wheat harvest there is very good. Bread. Think of the last time I ate it, twenty or thirty years ago, when I was a young and strong boy. Now I am an old man.

Has Village Chief Ke Lin ever wandered outside?

That's right, when I was sixteen years old, the food in the village ran out, and the villagers had to go into the mountains to survive. I happened to pass by a group of mercenaries outside, and I wanted to go outside again, so I begged them to take me with me.

Later, why did you come back and become the village chief?

Our leader is the illegitimate son of a nobleman. He couldn't inherit his father's territory, so he came out to seek a way out with his martial arts. We followed him around and made a living by relying on the tasks issued by the lords of various places. He relied on his noble blood. We He did well, but later he wanted to obtain the status of a knight and participated in a battle between two nobles, not only died, but the mercenary group also suffered casualties.

Without the regiment leader, the mercenary regiment disbanded soon after, and I returned to my hometown. I have accumulated some savings after wandering around for many years. I built this small wooden house, married a wife and had children. Later, the village chief passed away, and the villagers elected me. became the mayor of the village.

Since you have been a mercenary, do you know the situation in the surrounding towns? I have something to ask you.

I am willing to help you, Lord Nord, I have been to all the towns around here, the nearest to us is Christenburg, the current lord is Viscount Ollie Christen, it is said that he is a greedy nobleman, likes They oppressed the common people, levied high taxes, and many farmers fled into the mountains or became robbers if they could not survive, so the law and order in this area is not good.”

Oh? Have robbers ever been to your place?

Colin smiled proudly when he heard this question, lowered his head, took a bite of the black bread, and bit it hard before continuing.

That's not true. Our village is close to the mountains, and we often go hunting in the mountains. We also have the blood of the mountain people, and the people's customs are strong. In addition, the village has no luxuries, so no one has any ideas about us. Even if they come, there will be nothing. Good fruit to eat!

I believe you have the strength. Is there a market in Christenburg? Can you buy construction tools and food?

There is a small market in Christenburg, but there are not many things you can buy. I suggest you go to Twin City, which is the only town nearby. There is a big market there with more goods. I May I ask why you bought your tools and provisions for...

Colin's wrinkled face revealed surprise and excitement, and his eyes looked straight at Nord, his eyes full of expectation.

Nord did not live up to Colin's expectations and directly expressed what he meant.

I plan to build a manor and use food to pay the villagers, what do you think?

Great, Lord Nord, thank you for your generosity. I will definitely arrange for the villagers to help you build a beautiful manor. With food, the villagers will be able to get through this year's difficulties.

After hearing Nord's answer, his excited expression could not be concealed. After assuring Nord about the villagers' questions, he turned his head and told his eldest son.

Leiman, tomorrow you gather some good hunters from the village and go to Christenburg with Lord Nord. You must protect Lord Nord's safety.

No problem, father, please rest assured, I will definitely protect Lord Nord.

Lehman was also a little excited after hearing the news, but calmed down after hearing his father's order, thinking about who should be brought with him tomorrow.

When Colin and Nord were discussing the details of buying grain, Reed quietly walked to Lehman's side, with a flattering look on his face, and said cautiously.

Brother, you can take me with you tomorrow, I'm sure I won't make trouble for you.

We are going to do business tomorrow. Tomorrow's food is very important to the village, and we have to protect Lord Nord's safety, so we don't have the heart to take care of you.

I don't need you to take care of me. If I am strong, I can also contribute to the village. Besides, I can learn a lot from Mr. Nord.

Speaking of which, Reed straightened his slightly thin chest, which was not so convincing.

Lehman looked at his younger brother, who has grown into an adult. Although his body is still a little thin, he really needs some experience. In the past two years, this kid has led the young people in the village to jump up and down, so he should be taken care of up.

That's fine, you bring your hunting bow tomorrow, come with me, and you must obey orders then! Do you understand?

Understood, brother, I knew you would help me, and I will definitely perform well tomorrow.

When Reed heard that his brother agreed to his request, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and even the bread in front of him became even sweeter.

Father, little uncle, where are you going, can you take little Lysa with you?

Lysa watched Lehman Brothers talking curiously, and when she heard what her father and uncle were going to do, she opened her eyes and asked cutely.

Hearing his daughter's question, Lehman smiled.

Little Lysa, Dad is going to buy food with the lord tomorrow, you are too young to follow!

Is this delicious bread the food? Then dad, come back early! There will be a big bad wolf at night.

Dad, my sister is still young, you say I'm a man, can I go then?

Art asked not to be outdone, and Reid burst out laughing when he heard his nephew say that.

Lehman gave his younger brother a glance, but Reid didn't take it seriously, and rubbed his nephew's face with his hands.

You can't either! Little Yate, only I can go.

After speaking, he winked his eyes at Art, his face full of ridicule.

After hearing what his uncle said, Yate snorted, ignored the little uncle who liked to make fun of him, turned his face away, and could only vent his anger on the bread in front of him, and took a hard bite.

After dinner, Nord made an appointment with Lehman and went upstairs to rest.

Today is the first day he arrived at the territory and opened the system, and it is also the first step in his future life. I believe tomorrow will be full of surprises.
