Lord Highlander

  Chapter 495 494. Visit by the old village chief

   I heard that Suldak had returned to the village. Before he had finished his breakfast, the old village chief Brett brought Charlie and Luke to the door.

   "Uncle Brett!" Suldak swallowed the last mouthful of multigrain porridge, and asked the old village chief and others to sit down in the living room of the room.

  Old Sheila took little Peter out of the house, lest little Peter pester Suldak and affect everyone's discussion.

  Natasha brought out a pot of tea from the kitchen and made lemon tea for everyone.

  After entering the spring, the reservoir that Suldak organized and built last fall has already taken effect.

The period of late spring and early summer has always been the driest season in Wall Village. When there is plenty of water, almost all the mountain spring water in Wall Village flows into the downstream swamp and seeps into the ground. It is time for planting in spring. However, the springs on the mountain could not provide sufficient water, which led to the shortage of irrigation water in the village.

With this first-level reservoir, the villagers do not have to compete for irrigation water, which also solves the most troublesome problem of the old village head Brett. Every year, there are several conflicts in the village because of the competition for irrigation rights. Now it seems that , these problems seem to be solved.

A war broke out on the Maca plane. Hailansa city not only sent guard battalion knights to support it, but also collected a batch of strategic materials one after another in the later period. Due to the huge gap in the fire scale bomb, the price of sulfur ore in Hailansa city There was no way to discuss with Suerdak, the old village head resolutely sold a batch of sulfur ore, which made Wall Village another big profit in winter.

The old village chief took a sip of the lemon tea with maple syrup in his hand, moistened his dry throat, and then asked Surdak, "Dak, I heard that you went out with the guard battalion to perform missions, Why did you come back so soon?"

  Luke and Charlie stared at the Suldak magic pattern structure enviously. Although they didn't have this kind of magic armor, it didn't mean they didn't know this precious magic pattern structure.

  Suldak nodded slightly, and explained to the old village chief: "The task of the guard battalion is over, so I withdrew from there."

Seeing the old village head looking over in surprise, Suldak said: "This time I went to the Maca plane with the guard battalion to participate in the city defense battle there. The security battalions in each city were the first to withdraw. This time I brought back a few helpers from the Maca plane. They will join me in forming the security team in the barren land outside the Pagros Pass. The guard battalions Captain Sauron appointed me as the captain of the security team, mainly responsible for the security issues in this area."

   "Then will your studies at the Knight Academy be affected?" the old village chief Brett asked Suldak.

  Suldak replied: "It will not affect my graduation certificate from the Knight Academy. In fact, I have already become a canonized knight of the Grimm Empire, and the fief has been officially approved. I will lead the knight to Bump Mountain."

  When Suldak said this, there was an exclamation in the room.

   "Pump mountain... Your knight collar is painted on that volcano?" The old village chief frowned, and asked Suldak with some dissatisfaction.

Suldak nodded. He took out his knight certificate from his magic pocket. Inside the certificate was a land authorization letter, and an attached map on it, which clearly showed the general outline of the area of ​​Pustule Mountain. On this map, Surdak's territory is surrounded by a dotted circle.

Suldak spread the map on the table, gestured to the old village chief and said, "To be precise, it should be the entire Pustule Mountain. I think we will increase efforts to mine the sulfur mines near Pustbag Mountain. At least Before those salamanders eat up the sulfur mines in the rocky area, grab some as much as possible."

  The old village head said with some embarrassment: "Dake, the labor force in our village is almost the same, and the barley planting season will soon be entered. I am afraid that I will not be able to continue mining sulfur mines in the rocky area of ​​Pubiao Mountain during this period."

Suldak waved his hand and said, "I've thought about this a long time ago, so I came back this time... and brought back a group of kobold slaves, who will be the miners of the sulfur mine in Pustout Mountain in the future. We just need to send a few supervisors to watch over them." They're just fine."

   "Except for the supervisor, I hope that all the villagers in the village will withdraw from the pustule mountain."

   "In addition, I plan to hurry up and complete the completion of the five-level reservoir upstream of the village before the rainy season arrives."

   "Build two drainage channels around the bend, and transform the swamp in the bend into a wheat field."

Suldak briefly explained his thoughts, and then the old village chief Brett said with a dazed expression: "...Dark, you built the reservoir not only to ensure water for the wheat fields in the village, but also to control the river. The tidal flats downstream of the bay?"

Suldak said with a smile to the old village chief who was sitting opposite: "Currently, the rations produced by the wheat fields in the village are not enough for the whole village to feed for the first half of the year. If we want to improve this situation, of course we need to cultivate new fields around the village. There are very limited places that can be transformed in the wheat fields. At present, only the Beigou Grassland and the tidal flats in the river bay are suitable for transformation. It is far more difficult to open up wheat fields in the Beigou grassland than in the tidal flats in the river bay. I just want to control the tidal flats downstream."

  Hearing what Suldak said, the old village head nodded slightly, and then asked: "Dak, why don't you enlist Wall Village as your knight leader?"

  Suldak shook his head and said:

"Helansa City's taxation on Wall Village is already at the lowest tax point. Even if you become my knight leader, there will be no more reductions in taxation. There are at least some sulfur mines on the pustule mountain. Now we It is already legitimate to build a mine there, no matter what, we need to have the right to mine that piece of land.”

"By the way, Uncle Brett, I bought back some kobolds this time. They currently need some temporary shelters, but they shouldn't stay here for long, and then I will organize people to send them to the sulfur mine in Bump Mountain. "Suldak said to the old village chief again.

   "Let's go, take me to see your kobold slave, if it doesn't work, just lock it up in the warehouse of the carpenter's workshop in the village!" said the village chief Brett.

  Rita was cooking porridge with chestnut rice and miscellaneous grains in a large pot. After Suerdak asked Rita to prepare breakfast, he sent it to the river bend outside the village.

  Rita agreed readily, and waved the spoon in her hand to Surdak.

   After saying this, he walked out of the house with the old village head, and everyone discussed the resettlement of kobold slaves while walking.

   Um, I went out today, came back a bit late, a little tired, that’s all, I will find time to make up for what I owe
