An oil lamp, two men, one old and one strong. ●⌒,
On such a quiet and beautiful night, if a man and a widow are alone, they can lighten up some romantic affairs vaguely, but now there are two men, so they can only talk about boring things. Everyone knows that the things that men can talk about together are nothing more than politics, women, and money.
The old village head is very old, half of his body has been buried in the soil, so it is impossible to talk about women, and the Reed family is a declining country nobleman, so it is impossible to talk about money, so the two of them can only talk now. Politics, real country politics.
"Your Excellency Beta, I don't understand why you have to build the road first." The old village head said indifferently: "I don't think this is a very good way. Even if the road is built, a small village like Reed Village will not Someone will come."
Liang Lidong was stunned for a moment, then asked back: "Then what do you think the old village chief should do?"
The old village chief said quite proudly: "According to my experience of living for decades, what our Reed Village needs first is people. If we want to develop Reed Village, we must have enough people. If it is me, I will take the gold coins and go to the city of Sigli in the south, buy hundreds of slaves, and let them plow the fields around the village of Reed. As long as there is food and land, more people will be attracted to us. We live in Decun, and over time, we will have enough population to become a small town."
In the game, this method is indeed a safe method that most nobles will adopt. Although the effect is slow, it has a great advantage, saving money.
It didn't cost much to buy hundreds of slaves, and let these slaves cultivate fertile land, as long as they were given a minimum of food, and they didn't need to pay wages.
Liang Lidong looked at the old village head who seemed quite proud, and asked: "Since you have a plan, why didn't you implement it? Buying hundreds of slaves won't cost you twenty gold coins. It doesn't cost much to cultivate fertile land. The living expenses of the slaves don’t need much. It stands to reason that the Reed family has no problem with paying these funds, but why didn’t you implement your own plan, old man? If you started this plan the day you became a villager, or you already It's the mayor."
The complacency on the old village head's face disappeared, and his face stretched.
Liang Lidong sighed: "I don't talk about which of the two development methods is better. But at least I have a point that is more practical than you. I will implement the plan when I have a plan, but you are just a fantasy. Even if my plan is not as good as yours , but I did things and you didn't. So I'm better than you."
The old village chief's face was red and ugly, as if he had been constipated for more than ten days and couldn't get it out after squatting on the latrine.
It's not that Liang Lidong doesn't respect the elderly, but that he doesn't want his plans to be affected. The old village head said that he wanted to take this opportunity to have a hand in the development of the village. Liang Lidong is not interested in rights, but if the Goddess of Woking wants to develop, it must have a large enough religious population, even if you add up the people in all the villages around Reed Village. Also less than a thousand.
Therefore, building Reed Village within a few years is the most important task. Liang Lidong didn't allow his plan to go wrong, and the old village head tried to get some power from him, but in order not to let the plan go wrong, he firmly rejected the old man.
The oil lamp was placed in the middle of the table, and the dark yellow lamp shook occasionally, and flying insects hit the flame from time to time, making a chirping sound, and fell into the lamp oil.
The awkward atmosphere made the old man a little silent, after a while. Liang Lidong said suddenly: "You don't have to worry about the development of Reed Village. After it is on the right track, I will do what I promised. Return the position to Kyle. I have experience in things like developing the territory, at least better than you You have experience, so you don't have to be afraid that I will bring Reed Village to the brink of destruction, even if it doesn't succeed, it won't be worse than it is now."
The old village head still did not speak. He knew that his time was running out, but as an aristocrat, his instinct to mix power would not change. It was just a pity that the young man in front of him was very experienced. He is also very sophisticated, he only said a word, and the other party knew what he was planning, and blocked him in one mouthful, which made him feel very uncomfortable and very unwilling. If he had the same keen intuition and ability as the other party, the Reid family might have risen again.
The flames jumping on the table burned to death a lifeless flying insect, both sides were silent, Liang Lidong thought he had given the bottom line, it didn't matter if the other party accepted it or not. It doesn't matter if old Reed disagrees, Reed is still under the jurisdiction of Winterwind City, and when the time comes to let Uther put Reed Village under his own name, things can continue, at most it may make Kyle I'm a little unhappy, but as long as I explain it well, I should be able to get Kyle's understanding.
After all, Kyle is a good boy and a good student.
"Everything in the world needs strength to win and protect." The old village chief finally spoke leisurely after half a meeting, and his voice became more and more vicissitudes and weak: "This is the family motto left by the brave ancestors. There has never been a person who can inherit the blood of the brave after the De family, until now, but Kyle seems to have some hope."
Liang Lidong didn't pay attention to the irony in the words of the old village chief, he nodded: "Kyle's talent is indeed amazing, he doesn't look very smart, but he learns things quite quickly .And he also has dark vision, old village chief, do you know what kind of bloodline your family has inherited?"
"If I knew, I would have been a mercenary a long time ago. When I was young, like Kyle, I had a dream of being a mercenary, but it's a pity..."
The old man's words were not finished, but everyone understood the meaning. He stood up, picked up the oil lamp, and walked out, saying, "When you get old, you can't stay up all night. Beta, I'm going back first. If there's anything else, let's talk about it after dawn tomorrow."
Liang Lidong sat without moving. He looked at the wall covered by the yellow mud, and said aloud: "The blood magic of the Reid family is sealed here. I got that piece of yellow mud up. You don't want to Talking about the bloodline with me is because I'm afraid that I have something wrong with your Reed family. This is normal. But I want to tell you that Kyle's bloodline has not been fully activated, and he cannot learn the bloodline magic here, unless it is Use some special items to activate, if your Reed family inherits such a thing, use it as soon as possible, the earlier the bloodline is activated, the greater the future growth will be."
The old village chief paused for a moment: "Our family doesn't have anything like that."
After speaking, he left.
Because the oil lamp was taken away. The cave suddenly became invisible, but Liang Lidong didn't care. Under Yunlong's vision, there was no difference between day and night. He continued to sit, as if thinking about something.
With the night. The surroundings became more and more quiet, only the faint sound of insects came from outside.
After about an hour, he stood up and also left the cave.
In the early morning of the next day, at about five o'clock, Artulun came to knock on the door of the temple. He took fifteen silver coins from Liang Lidong, led a dozen children, and went to other villages to buy food. , Suha came over and took away six silver coins. This is the wages of the laborers today. Kyle led seven teenagers, carrying wooden sticks and wooden swords, out of the village entrance, and went out to inspect. Joan of Arc hovered above their heads.
Belin and a group of women have already set up several large pots in the empty mine area of the village and boiled water. As long as the flour grain arrives, they can make a few pots of batter in a short time for the laborers today. breakfast.
The whole village jumped into action. Almost everyone has something to do, except for the elderly who really can't walk, or the disabled with limited mobility.
Liang Lidong handed things over to his four students to preside over the matter, while he went to the back of the temple to practice the magic of 'driving the fog'. At the same time, it is analyzing the magic power running node of this magic. Unlike most magic. The running route of bloodline magic lacks many nodes, and these nodes will only be replenished when specific bloodline holders cast them. Under normal circumstances, if you want to use mental power to detect how these essence points are filled during the magic operation , is almost impossible.
Liang Lidong also had no way to detect the filling principle of key nodes. But this does not prevent him from testing. If direct observation with mental power is not enough, then there are methods of elimination, reverse reasoning, and so on. If it doesn't work once, then do it a few more times, if it doesn't work a few times, just do it hundreds of times.
In the eyes of the players, there is no unsolvable puzzle in this world, it only depends on whether your ability is reached or not, or whether you use the right method.
Liang Lidong has a feeling that as long as he cracks the 'cloud dragon bloodline magic', he will definitely be able to open a new magic door, which is something no one can do in the game.
He practiced fog driving magic all morning behind the temple, and he didn't stop until his mental power was almost exhausted. He returned to the temple, took a shower, washed off his sweat, and then cooked some side dishes for himself. After filling his stomach, he opened the management interface of 'Internal Affairs' and carefully inspected the current situation of Reed Village. Except that the popular sentiment rose by two points and became 62 points, nothing else changed.
No change is a good thing! Liang Lidong turned off the system interface and was about to take a lunch break for half an hour. At this time, the sound of horseshoes came from the temple, and soon the sound of horseshoes stopped. Liang Lidong went to the prayer hall, and found a man covered in black clothes, even his face was covered. A woman in a black dress stands there.
After a while, Kyle and other friends rushed over sweating profusely. They fanned apart and surrounded the woman in black.
"what happened?"
Liang Lidong had killed many players and 'npc' in the game, and also killed many people in reality. When he asked such a sullen question, the sense of majesty spread like a real mental pressure, and the young people immediately trembled. Even the woman in black had a look of shock in her eyes.
Kyle and Mu Jian pointed at the woman in black, and then explained to Liang Lidong: "Teacher, this woman rushed over without any scruples and injured several people in our village. Although it is not a serious injury, at least it is good." I can't do heavy work for a few days."
Liang Lidong's expression remained the same, but his voice became more serious: "Oh, there is such a thing. This guest in black, you'd better explain it. If you are willing to pay enough compensation and apologize to the injured, I can politely send you out of the village, otherwise I don't mind punishing you, even if you are from the Zell family."
The woman in black was carrying a long gun on her back. When she heard Liang Lidong's words, she sneered: "Since you know that I am from the Zell family, you still dare to threaten me. Are you afraid that my father will come to trouble you?"
This woman's voice is very nice, clear and crisp like a yellow oriole's cry, she should not be very old.
Liang Lidong smiled: "So you are Greenton's daughter, that's really good, you don't need to pay for compensation."
The woman sneered, her tone full of disdain.
"But I want to educate you for your father." Liang Lidong said slowly: "Kyle, you go and deal with her and subdue her, but don't hurt her. After she is convinced, you lead her to come The palace is looking for me."
After speaking, he turned around and went to the apse, put on his clothes and went to bed to rest. He could tell that Kyle's strength should be similar to that of the woman in black, Greenton's daughter, but slightly better. It is not too difficult to defeat this woman, but it will take some time to conquer her. With this opportunity, Kyle can accumulate actual combat experience. After all, opponents of similar strength are hard to come by.
After going to bed, Liang Lidong quickly fell asleep, and he woke up about half an hour later. Just after stretching himself, Kyle led a beautiful girl in.
At this moment, the black-clothed woman's hood had been taken off, and the black veil on her face was also taken off, revealing a pretty face that was extremely cold at first glance, but extremely beautiful. She is a young girl with a pair of long ears, clear green hair with high ponytail, and a pair of watery green pupils under her eyebrow-level bangs.
This girl is very beautiful, but her expression is proud. Only when she looks at Kyle, her eyes will soften a little, as if she has been convinced by Kyle.
Liang Lidong waved his hand and said to the sweaty boy, "Kyle, take someone to continue patrolling to ensure the safety of the construction workers. Also prevent conflicts and disturbances at the site."
Kyle nodded happily, then turned his head and left. There was such a beautiful woman by his side, so he didn't take a second look at all.
But when the half-elf girl saw Kyle leaving, she turned her head and pursed her cute cherry mouth, with complicated emotions in her eyes.
"What's your name?" Liang Lidong asked her.
The half-elf girl stared, and said with a fierce expression, "Why should I tell you!"
Liang Lidong stood up with a charming smile on his face: "It doesn't matter if you don't say anything, my students can beat you up to make you obedient, and I can beat you up too, and I promise to beat you He is heavier, if you don't cooperate obediently, I don't mind hitting your face swollen."
The half-elf girl was shocked, and then frightened: "Why are you so vicious!"(.)
