"No! Let me die! I don't want to see it!"
No matter how Bourne howled, Markey and Duncan still held him in front of Xiang En.
Seeing that Bourne was still unwilling to accept the reality, Xiang En looked grim and shouted: "You are crying and crying, how can you behave like this? Stand still!"
Ga!
Bourne's howling stopped and he stood upright in aggrieved manner.
Xiang En is the only person Bourne fears in the manor, not because of power or because he controls the food.
Just because Xiang En would occasionally smile and come up with all sorts of good ideas that seemed to be possessed by clever little ghosts, Bourne always felt creepy.
Bourne has always had a hunch that if he doesn't obey, he may be sent to the troll...
"Open your eyes and take a look." Xiang En ordered again.
The people around him have also stopped laughing, waiting for Bourne to recognize him. Although the sympathy in their hearts still exists, at least they will not show it on their faces.
Bourne was forced to open his eyes and looked at the green-skinned baby close at hand. He burst into tears again.
"From now on, he will be taken care of by you. If anything goes wrong, you will be responsible. You must take care of him until he has the ability to live independently! You can go to the cowshed to milk the cow for him to drink, or you can take him to the troll to let him drink. Trolls to feed.”
Without any explanation, Xiang En handed the baby into Bourne's hands, forcing him to take care of the little guy until he grew up.
Others clapped with joy on their faces, applauding the decision, and congratulated Bourne on the birth of a child. There was a new member in the manor's family.
"Ugh..." Bourne's tears fell in despair. He wanted to break the jar, but his nostalgia for life made it difficult for him to make such a decision.
Looking at the confused and confused baby in his arms, who was not much different from a human baby, his heart dropped at times, but in the end he did not do anything bad.
Children... children are innocent.
He, he is at least my... child!
Under self-forced hypnosis, Bourne's life of raising a baby began.
Soon after, the giant potatoes ushered in the second round of harvest, which represented a rapid increase in food. It also meant that Andrea was six months pregnant and had entered the second dangerous stage.
In the days that followed, Xiang Endu took time to take care of Andrea and launched more infrastructure survival projects.
Another half month later, the trolls' wall was built. The taller and wider wall separated the inner and outer worlds.
The people and trolls in the manor lived in harmony, and the trolls also ushered in the baby boom. The female trolls who borrowed Dunel's race and became pregnant, and the trolls who had normal mating with the trolls and became pregnant one after another. Production.
The appearance of newborns has caused a small crisis in the food supply of the trolls.
The trolls had finished eating their meat, and Xiang En was rarely willing to give meat to the trolls, so some female trolls showed signs of reduced production due to lack of nutrition.
Darusa asked Xiang En about this problem, and Xiang En just thought that trolls also want to eat meat. If they don't eat meat, their labor force will not be guaranteed.
The eleven yaks taken from the trolls in the manor have given birth to eight calves, but neither the old cows nor the calves can be used as food for the trolls for the time being.
He could only focus on the rats, the manor's largest source of meat.
There used to be only a few mice, but after many crises and tribulations, they have now developed a fairly large group of mice, with about ten female mice getting pregnant every month.
With an ample supply of food, the rats demonstrated the terrifying ability to go into heat at any time.
Before, Xiang En always controlled the number of rats within a certain range to prevent them from escaping the cage and causing a rat plague. They accidentally slipped out and ate dirty food, and turned into dense zombie rats and came back for revenge.
But now, Xiang En has to consider increasing breeding efforts, and he wants to breed for trolls.
After thinking for two days, he finally finalized a plan to build a breeding farm next to the manor's home, increase the scale of rat breeding, and let the trolls shovel poop every day.
The project took only four days from start to finish.
The trolls' breeding farm received fifty pairs of rats, and they are breeding them at a time to expand the size of the population. With the reproductive capabilities of the rats, they will be able to harvest a large group of delicious meat by next year.
After building the farm, Xiang En didn't know what else he could do besides making iron and exploring the formula of lime cement.
Out of boredom, he decided to build another wall, and asked York and Mira to use magic to wrap the wall with a layer of half-meter-thick rock. Then they started to build underground facilities, and then built a watchtower at each corner of the wall.
It took a month and a half to reinforce the wall and half a month to build the watchtower. The originally comfortable and livable manor was completely transformed into a military fortress.
Underground, construction began, first of all, a deep and wide underground square, with the bottom area at least two hundred meters above the ground. Then put a few mice in it, so that they can receive the blessing of the wind every day and maintain air circulation.
There are iron gates every twenty meters along the deep staircase, completely isolating the underground world from the world on the surface. Part of the storable food was required to be moved underground.
Everyone felt that Xiang En was a little too cautious, but in fact it was not overly cautious at all.
…
In the plains of the Fiore province, the originally green lawns turned yellow and it had been a difficult few months.
The opening of the partially closed city indicates that the food stored in the city has been exhausted. The little food used to grow pigs in the open space cannot satisfy the population of the entire city.
The nobles may still have a lot of food in their inventory, but they refuse to give it to the unprepared lower-level commoners for various reasons.
After the city was opened, these people at the bottom were forced to go out in search of the little bit of food that might exist.
Only Xiang En has the spell to create food out of thin air, but they have quite a few spells to create water out of thin air.
A team of thirty people took some food and stepped out of the closed city. Everyone's face was filled with resentment and dissatisfaction, and they hated the nobles who would only hide in the city.
In order to obtain the meager food, they must leave the city protected by the magic barrier and enter the interior of Fiore Province to investigate the distribution of monsters.
After being at ease for nearly three years, how much strength can these low-level adventurers still have
It's said to be an investigation mission, but it's just a death mission!
The team of thirty people was divided into three teams at the door. They would investigate the cities in the northern part of the Fiore Province, the area bordering the southern part of the Fiore Province and the De Aire Province, and finally the west. residential area.
These people have seen the situation outside through the magic telescopes that can be seen everywhere in the city. Those dark monsters are simply life-seeking ghosts in the night.
There are so many of them that they are almost invisible at night. They are real night killers.
Going out to do missions in the face of zombie beasts is not much different from going out to die.
