Son of the Olden Days

Usually there are few outsiders in small villages, and occasionally there are only some casual adventurers passing by.

This kind of occlusion reminds Sol of the Gray Screen Town at that time. It is at least four or five days away from New Town and Yuanmu Town. If the town’s Yar Mine is not profitable, Gray Screen Town may not be included. The territory of Lord Savien.

Tide Village is about seven days away from Kennazzi Territory, and Ash Stump is even further away. Obviously, it was precisely because of the distance and dispersion of the two small villages, coupled with the fact that there was not much special product that could be obtained, the lord of Kennazar did not come to encroach on these two villages.

The arrival of Sol and others attracted a lot of curious attention from the village.

The four only stopped in the small village, and left after a short rest. I didn't negotiate with anyone like the village chief. It's not necessary for the time being. It's still in the exploration stage anyway. I'll talk about it after I've read it all.

After leaving the tide village, everyone turned to go straight to the ash stump, and reached the destination after less than three days' journey.

The geographical locations of Ash Stump, Tide Village, and Kennazar Territory are exactly a triangle. It's just that the ash stumps are the most remote. It takes about three days to reach Tidal Village, and about ten days to reach Kennazze.

The environment of this village is similar to that of Tidal Village. The same farming and hunting, but because of the barrier of mountains, there is no way of fishing and hunting. The entrance of the village is still equipped with guards, just two ordinary people.

In terms of population, ash stumps are worse than Chaoxi Village. There are only 20 households. There are no special products here, and trade is even weaker.

In the same process, Sol and others found a farmer and got some general news on the dinner table. What surprised the four of them was that the ash stumps were not yet on the edge of the world. According to the farmer, there was still a human settlement three days northward.

The village didn't even have a name. When asked about the scale and various aspects of the village, the farmers didn't know the details and claimed to be unclear. After all, the last time people from that place came to exchange materials with the ash stumps was already last fall.

I originally thought it was a matter of choosing between Ash Tree Stump and Tidal Village. I didn't expect a more remote place to appear now, but this is strictly speaking a good thing. Where there is a place, it means there is a population.

It was only three days, anyway, they were on the road, everyone left the ash stumps and went straight to the unnamed village in the north.

After arriving at the place, Sol and others discovered that there was a fragile wooden fence on the outer edge of the village. At this moment, many fences had been crooked and destroyed, as if they had been attacked.

At this moment, the whole village is completely dark, and it looks like there are no more living people.

Now that they have all come, after a few people have discussed it, they decided to enter the village together in two groups to take a look. First, take a look at the cause of death of the villagers, and second, if you can figure out what dangerous enemies are around you, it’s better.

Holding Beth's hand, Saul carefully pushed open the door of a dilapidated house.

The various furnishings in the house were nothing special. The old environment of the tables and chairs was poor and dilapidated. After roughly sweeping around, Thor suddenly stopped. He seemed to hear a faint voice coming from somewhere.

Saul stepped vigilantly, and after groping and judging, he found a cellar door under the haystack.

The haystack covering the cellar is obviously a kind of man-made disguise. At this moment, there is a faint fire light from under the cellar.

Asking Beth to stand in a safe corner, Saul suddenly grabbed the door knocker of the cellar door and lifted it up suddenly. At the same time, there was an exclamation sound from under the cellar, but the voice sounded like a child.

Thor tried to yell a few words, and after getting a response from the cellar, he carried his sword and descended into the cellar.

A dim candle was lit under the cellar, and at this moment, three people in the cellar could be seen clearly by the light of the fire. A woman, a little girl, and a somewhat thin man were holding a pitchfork in front of the woman and looking at Saul warily.

This seems to be a family of three, or the aborigines in this village. Looking at the clean and spacious underneath the cellar, as well as simple furnishings such as beds and tables, it is obvious that this is their real living area.

Sometimes when a village’s defenses are too weak, people often find ways to migrate underground to avoid threats on the ground. Although this way of survival is a bit old today, it is not new.

After making a judgment, Saul put away his sword.

"Hello, take the liberty to interrupt, we came here all the way from Kennardze Territory through the Ash Stump." Sol tried his best to make his expression more friendly, but did not mention the identity of the adventurer, and may change his identity in the future. Up.

Seeing Saul put away his weapon, there seemed to be no hostility, plus Beth standing on the cellar stairs was obviously a woman, the man holding the pitchfork was slightly relieved.

"Hello, my lord, my name is Lek. This is my wife and daughter. Don't you know what happened to you when you came to our small place?" The man calling himself Lek was nervous and humble.

This may be due to each other's clothes and looks.

The three members of the family were all dressed in shabby clothes made of coarse hemp, which had been washed to a degree of whiteness, and they were still wearing a few old patches. Although Saul and Beth's clothes are not gorgeous, they can still tell at a glance that they clearly don't belong here.

Saul habitually wanted to change the name of the other party's "sir", but he opened his mouth and suddenly changed his mind. Since you want to establish a territory, it is better to have only one voice in the territory from now on, and you should get used to it now.

"How many people are there in your village in total?" Saul asked chatically.

"There are eight households, twenty-seven people, sir." Lek replied.

"From your fence...well, it looks like the defenses of the villages on the ground, what kind of trouble do you seem to have encountered?"

"Yes, my lord, that is the trace left by the goblins who came to looting the village last week." The man replied.

Goblin? A gleam of light passed through Thor's eyes, good goblin!

It would be better to come to looting the village again, and even save the excuses for war and plunder in the future.

Goblins are also considered to be a race of intelligence, and there is definitely no problem in communication, and they are ready-made labor when they are caught. The initial stage of the territory must be in the construction phase, which is when a large amount of free labor is needed.

"Is the defense of your village so weak? You can't even beat the mere goblins? You have to hide all of them to the ground." Saul started tentatively, with no contempt in his tone.

"There is a settlement of goblins in the east of our village. They are not small in size and will come to looting the village from time to time. Each time the number is at least hundreds of scales." The man explained unwillingly.

"Are there only goblins around here? I mean, are there any other races around? Or maybe there are other dangers?" Sol asked again.

"If it's dangerous, go through the woods to the west of the village. After about half a day's journey, there is a swamp. Going around the swamp for another three days, there is an orc camp, but maybe because the distance is a little longer, the orcs didn't come to harass us." Lek answered.

swamp? The swamp is good, the woods can be felled, and the swamp can provide food. As for the group of orcs that are farther away, they are also good labor, but they will definitely not be able to move in the early stages of construction.

"I have two other companions who have also entered this village, but they went to another house. We have a total of four people. In this way, you now take your family to the village, and then gather the people from this village in an open place. I I have something to say to you."

"As for the safety of your family and the villagers, we will protect you." Sol looked at Lek, his tone was not harsh, but there was no doubt about it. After speaking, he turned and brought Beth back to the ground.

Lek hesitated for a moment, but finally sighed and could only do so. Although the other party looked a little young, but the other party carried a sharp sword on his back and looked hard to provoke, and he did not have the courage to refuse.

This small village has been shrinking in the corner of the mainland and has been suffering. I don't know what is waiting for myself and my family today.

Soon, people in the village came to the ground one after another, all gathered in the open space in the middle of the village, whispering to each other there with some anxiety.

It is said that the village may be a little reluctant, with eight households and a population of less than 30. The main source of food is the usual hunting of three hunters, some wild berries and a few acres of barren wheat fields, and there are only two first-tier supports in the entire village.

This support includes daily hunting, village defense, and various crisis management. Judging from the villagers' yellow and thin faces and the shabby and old clothes, life here is obviously not only hard, but harsh.

After the four members of the team met, Sol held a torch and stood in front of the crowd, and began to communicate with the players in a low voice.

"What did you do to get them together?" Stant asked Sol.

"I think this may be our foothold, or starting point." Sol said to his companions.

The three companions, including Beth, looked at Saul in surprise. After all, after running three places, everyone had their own judgment.

This nameless village is not much different from the other two villages, but in terms of shortcomings, it seems more closed and marginal. They can't figure out why Thor chose this place in the end.

Seeing the puzzled look of his companions, Thor repeated the surrounding environment and situation of the village he had inquired about to his companions, and then... they seemed to be even more confused.

After all, there are ready-made enemy goblins, and everyone thought of the labor aspect, but besides that, there seems to be nothing. Swamp or something usually only represents the word danger in the dictionary of adventurers.

"Explain this way, we've been to all three villages. The other two villages, Tidal Village, are near the sea, where you can fish and hunt, but there are enemies in the sea. The ash stumps are not touching, and the environment looks stable, but there is nothing around."

"But at this moment, where we are, we have almost reached the foot of the mountain range. This means that we can get stones from the mountain range, and even if we are lucky, we can find mineral veins. This is a good thing."

"The goblin is a labor force, there is no problem, but the swamp and the woods, one can provide food, and the other can cut wood."
