The Invincible Overlord of Heroes
Chapter 186 Having fun with the people
With the help of Xu Lai and the careful care of Village Chief Lazi, Gram Village quickly regained its strength.
Although today's Gram Village is still just wooden houses for the time being, the population is also the same people from the village in the past, and they are basically relatives of Mayor Lacy.
But Graeme Village has basically achieved self-sufficiency. Not only did they grow a large amount of food, they also actively built horse pens, and even two ponies were born in the past half month.
In addition, they can also grow high-end crops such as tea, make wine, and make wooden furniture. There are even several hereditary blacksmiths in the village.
In fact, there are blacksmiths living in many villages on the grassland. They often need to shoe horses, repair farm tools, etc.
It's just that their blacksmith level is not yet qualified to make weapons. The most important thing is that the grassland iron ingot resources are scarce, so the blacksmith's requirements are relatively high.
In short, Xu Lai feels that Gram Village is developing very well.
After all, most of the women living in Qingfeng Town can only sell cloth and clothes, or rent the land they were allocated to refugees at a cheap price.
Of course, this cannot be blamed on Su Ya's poor governance. She has never had any experience in managing villages or towns before, and she was completely driven away by Xu Lai.
Su Ya's focus is more on the use of farmers affiliated to Qingfeng Town. In addition to these farmers needing a place to live and consuming 1 unit of food every day, all output belongs to Xu Lai.
Little Aboka did something. He compiled household registration for everyone in the town and recorded everyone's identity in detail.
From basic information such as name, gender, age and address, to what you are good at, what you have done in the past, whether you have immediate relatives elsewhere, etc., everything is registered.
In addition, he also needs to manage the crystal mines and quarries. With Su Ya's cooperation, he allows the refugees to rent farms so that they will not starve to death even if they have no land now, and can also create income for Qingfeng Town.
However, the people who came to Qingfeng Town were all outsiders after all. Some people said they were fleeing, and it was not uncommon for them to commit murders and set fires on the road.
Aaron invited priest Elena to come out, and Jian Yuan took a high-level warrior like the human sword master to sit in, so the whole town remained peaceful in this troubled world.
Just sorting out the identities of these people, finding people to act as guarantees, and allocating temporary housing and land will take a lot of effort. It is impossible to follow the comprehensive development of Gram Village.
They don't even need to do anything to pull Qi, they just need to follow the old rules, and they will develop naturally and quickly.
Therefore, Xu Lai decided to put an extra burden on the head of Laqi Village and directly upgrade Gram Village from an affiliated village to an affiliated town.
Of course, towns are not eligible to be affiliated with towns. Even if Lacy has the heart of the castle, he needs to cancel the affiliation before he can change it.
But Xu Lai has already collected the castle hearts needed to upgrade the fortress, so Lacy only needs to wait a moment.
Developing Gram Village into a town has been Lacy's wish for many years. When he was still a fourth-level warrior, he still had a little hope. After being injured and retiring, he didn't even dare to talk about third-level. This thought has long since disappeared.
Otherwise, Lacy would not have been able to give a Castle Heart to Xu Lai so easily as a reward, even if it was the lowest Castle Heart.
But what Lacy didn't expect was that the Gram family's long-cherished wish would come so suddenly in such troubled times.
At that moment, Lazi burst into tears, and the man in his 30s knelt down in front of Xu Lai.
Xu Lai was shocked and quickly helped the person up.
He was nostalgic, so he particularly liked and cared for Elena, who had helped him in the past, and the same was true for Lacy and the villagers of Gram Village.
Otherwise, Graeme Village had escaped after all. Even if they still had some savings, resources such as wood and stone would have been taken away from Stone Castle as early as possible.
How could they enable everyone to live in wooden houses in such a short period of time? It was all thanks to Xu Lai's funding.
"Lord Hero, I, I..."
Lacy was too excited to speak, but Giselle, who was equally excited beside her, chuckled and said:
"Village Chief Lacy, please stop calling me a hero now. Our great hero is now a baron!
Now the land under our feet has officially become the territory of my family. It was stamped and secured by Count Aini, and witnessed by the archbishop of the temple and the Knights of Holy Light. "
Xu Lai had never publicized the news of his knighthood. From the bottom of his heart, he did not really recognize the status of a nobleman.
But I didn't expect that Giselle would reveal it right away.
But this is normal. People in this world are proud of the nobility. Even the common people who are oppressed by the nobility, don't everyone want to become nobility?
When I heard that Xu Lai had really become a noble, he also officially became the lord of this land.
Not only were they all aligned now, but the brothers Aboka and Aaron all lifted up their clothes and knelt down with a plop.
Nobles basically have supreme authority in this world.
In the Middle Ages on Earth, nobles were the makers of laws. At that time, extremely absurd systems such as the right of first night were even born.
However, the nobles in the Middle Ages only relied on the army, and they themselves were just ordinary people.
The nobles of this world not only have extraordinary power themselves, but can also recruit high-level warriors who do not have to worry about betrayal and are always loyal only to themselves.
If there were not temples and many other camps, Xu Lai could not imagine how low the nobles would eventually degenerate.
These aborigines who have been ruled by the empire for thousands of years are naturally more likely to accept the status of Xu Lai nobles rather than the status of heroes descended from heaven.
They knelt very naturally, as if they were born to do so, leaving Xu Lai and Wei Yihong looking at each other in utter embarrassment.
"Ahem, if not, I'll give you one too!"
Everyone was kneeling, but I wasn't. Contrary to everyone else, Wei Yihong didn't feel particularly accomplished. Instead, he was embarrassed on the face, and even a little scared in his heart.
He was worried whether Xu Lai would give him small shoes to wear in the future, and whether people around him would treat him differently.
But let him really kneel down, there is gold under the man's knees, Wei Yihong is not that spineless.
Xu Lai frowned and said, "Who do you think I am?"
After saying that, Xu Lai looked at the people with a headache and shouted: "Hurry up, get up quickly, I will be angry if you don't get up!"
As soon as Xu Lai said he was angry, the group of people on the ground immediately got up.
"I'm happy today. I won't bother with you about this matter. Don't kneel down casually in the future."
After Xu finished speaking, he added: "This time I fought against the orcs, and I was lucky enough to win.
I know that many people in our town have lost their homes because of this war. When you go back, tell everyone the news of victory.
Today we, Qingfeng Town and Gram Village, are celebrating together. Village Chief Lazi, could you please go back and call all the people in your village over, and say that I will treat everyone to a meal.
In addition, I would also like to trouble you to pick out the people who can cook, otherwise I'm afraid that everyone may not have time to eat today. "
Village Chief Laqi smiled and replied: "Lord, don't worry. Although many people have fled recently, the population of the entire town has not exceeded 500. I will pick out some who are good at cooking and I will be able to take care of everyone." "
Xu Lai shook his head mysteriously without saying a word. He first led them back to the square of Qingfeng Town, and then in full view of everyone, he took out the body of Beamon from a medium-sized supply truck.
With a bang, the huge Behemoth fell onto the square, splashing a cloud of dust.
Everyone stared at the huge corpse on the ground in stunned silence, and some even screamed in fear.
Fortunately, Aaron and others were there and immediately comforted him: "Look carefully, this Behemoth is already a corpse."
The Behemoths and Behemoths on the battlefield were basically recruited. After the battle, there were not many corpses left at all. Instead, Cyclops was everywhere.
Xu Lai picked up a Behemoth and regarded it as his trophy. In fact, he had been protected and had no chance to kill Behemoth himself.
This thing was very new, so Xu Lai brought one back.
As for the Cyclops, although this guy is extremely tall, he is still in human form, and Xu Lai also witnessed these guys eating people on the battlefield.
Let him eat the meat of the Cyclops, and he really can't keep his mouth shut.
As for whether Behemoth eats people, he doesn't know, and he hasn't seen it anyway.
Behemoth is not as exaggerated as Behemoth, but the town square is not that big to begin with. Because of the arrival of Xu Lai and the others, many civilians immediately came over.
As soon as Xu Lai smashed the Behemoth down, the square was immediately packed.
Xu Lai waved his hand, smiled and said to his townspeople:
"Don't be afraid, everyone. This thing is the most powerful weapon of the orcs, Behemoth. We killed a lot of people in this war. Today I will treat you to Behemoth meat."
If the orcs dare to invade again, I will kill their Behemoths and treat everyone to the meat of the beasts! "
Xu Lai was in a good mood, but except for the first group of people who knew him, the rest of the people in the town were quite unfamiliar with him.
Everyone didn't know Xu Lai's temper, and they didn't know how to respond for a while.
Wei Yihong rolled his eyes. He didn't kneel just now. He had been feeling faintly worried in his heart. Now when he saw the opportunity, he shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Long live, long live!"
Generally, people have a herd mentality, so they are afraid of someone taking the lead in everything.
If no one responded to Wei Yihong, it would be embarrassing for him to shout at the top of his lungs alone.
But others didn't know whether Wei Yihong's shouting was due to Xu Lai's signal, so the Aiboka brothers, the village chief Lazi and others all joined in shouting long live.
Then there are the infected people, but they are not just following the crowd, unlike Wei Yihong and others, but they really shout out their gratitude through shouting.
Most of them appearing here now are because of the orcs, and many of them have even lost their relatives.
It can be said that their hatred for the orcs exceeds that of any noble or hero, and they really want to eat their flesh and drink their blood.
Now Xu Lai not only took them in, but also gave them a chance for revenge. You can imagine how excited everyone was.
At first, Xu Lai only planned to find some people who knew cooking skills to deal with it, but later on, he got out of control. Everyone wanted to come up and slash him, including the women who had been rescued from the horse thieves. (End of chapter)
