The Wizard’s Fairy Tale

Pieces of snowflakes are flying all over the sky. Slowly, the snowflakes are getting bigger and faster, turning into fine snow, and then gradually, turning into heavy snow.

It snowed intermittently for days and nights.

The whole small village of Nisai seems to have turned into a world of ice and snow full of poetic and picturesque charm. The ground is covered with a layer of seven or eight centimeters thick snow blanket.

Outside the small village of Nisai, there is also thick snow on the open space hundreds of meters away.

At the edge of the clearing is the forest.

The trees in the forest are hung with shiny silver bars, and the evergreen trees are covered with heavy snowballs.

All the animals disappeared without a trace, and the entire ice and snow forest was silent, as quiet as a pure girl.

As early as when the snow fell, all the villagers and wild slaves in Nisai Village who were working outside had already withdrawn.

The open pit was temporarily closed, the clay was stopped, and the limestone was not dug. Under William's order, everyone withdrew to the village.

The villagers returned to their huts with air leakage, lit the red clay stove, put clay pots on them, and added water to cook sweet porridge. chatted.

Occasionally, when I was bored, I would go out to the villagers I knew well, and while thanking the lord, I would curse the weather, which made them unable to continue working and lost a lot of wages.

The children were bored, so they yelled and ran out to have a snowball fight.

At this time, the adults generally don't care about it. Only when the weather gets colder will they be called home to warm up the stove to drive away the cold.

On the side of the wild slaves, there are a dozen or so people in a shack, and the same is true. They light the red clay stove day and night, eat the sweet powder provided by William for free, and feel the heat take away the stiffness and coldness of the body, and their hearts are full of emotion. .

When I was in the mountains, did I ever have such a scene?

Every winter is a death calamity.

In the mountains where there is not enough food and firewood, many people die every winter.

They never thought they could live such a happy life!

Some of them looked at the snow-filled sky outside the shack, and some lay on their sides on the thatched grass and fell asleep. They all had similar thoughts in their hearts: If such days could last forever, how wonderful it would be!

However, some people enjoy it, and some people have to pay!

What allows the villagers and wild slaves to enjoy life so leisurely is the presence of guards who patrol day and night and maintain the highest vigilance.

In the past, the guards never needed to participate in the physical labor of village construction, and they could get high pay and enjoy a rich diet, but now, it's time for them to pay.

Sheds had already been erected in the area next to the front and rear city gates, and the guards were divided into four teams, working in two shifts, stationed at the city gates, closely monitoring the situation outside the small village of Nisai.

A large number of combat materials are concentrated here.

Most of the guards will rest in the shed by the fire, or polish their weapons.

The wildling slaves and some members of the official guard will be sent to the aisle on the city wall.

Some are responsible for clearing the snow, while others climb up to monitor the scenery of the forest.

In the snowy winter, it is impossible for the guards to stay on top to monitor all the time, no one can stand it!

William didn't want to cause non-combat attrition, it would be too embarrassing!

So every time a piece of briquette is burned out, a group of wild slaves and guards will go up.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Because of the experiment, the energy consumption of the magic mirror is too high, and it can only last for about a month at present.

William really didn't dare to use the magic mirror to detect the situation in the swamp.

Accidentally,

What should I do if the energy of the magic mirror is completely exhausted and "shut down"?

William can use the magic mirror but can't "turn it on"?

The magic mirror is his most important treasure, and William can't risk it!

But William was worried, so he could only come here often to inspect.

However, as a lord, William is not afraid of danger and comes to the front line in person. This rare behavior has inspired the fighting spirit of the guards, and they are full of fighting spirit!

But it became an unexpected harvest for William.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Towards evening, the sky was gray.

William took Old John and Old Gretel to the gate of the village at the end of the village again.

A few hundred meters away from here is the dark forest, and this is the most dangerous place.

So William came the most often.

At this time, the captain of the guard team in charge of guarding here was Kerry Mark.

When he saw William coming over, he quickly saluted.

William nodded with a flat face, and was about to walk up the city wall.

Suddenly, the magic mirror in his arms vibrated, and the voice of the mirror spirit appeared in his mind, "Master, there are lizardmen in the dark forest ahead, and the number of lizardmen has been detected so far is 973."

973 lizardmen? Nearly a thousand? William's face immediately changed, the number was almost three times that of his guards.

Without saying a word, he immediately rushed to the city wall.

Kerry Mark, Old Gretel, and Old John all saw that something was wrong, and immediately followed.

On the walkway of the city wall, William looked far and wide.

In the dark forest hundreds of meters away, under the snow-white environment, dense black shadows appeared, constantly approaching.

William has good eyesight, and he saw clearly what those black shadows were all at once!

The head is ferocious, the fangs are sharp, the legs are upright, like a human being, the forelimbs are short and claw-shaped, the body is covered with black scales, and there is some viscous solution on it. Behind their bodies, there is a drag On the ground, a tail covered with glistening cuticles was swinging from side to side.

It really is a lizard man!

The real lizardman is much uglier than the lizardman William saw in the magic mirror last time.

The lizardmen were getting closer.

At this time, Old John, Old Gretel, and Kerry Mark also saw them.

Old John's face turned pale, and Old Gretel became very flustered. On the contrary, Kerry Mark showed an extraordinary inner quality. with William.

William immediately yelled, "Why are you still in a daze! Hurry up and notify the others!"

Only then did the others come to their senses.

"Old John, old Gretel, you go down. This is too dangerous, this is not your battlefield! Organize your logistics well! That's where you can perform!" William ordered again.

Old John and Old Gretel are people who know how to measure. They know that they are on the front line of the war at this time, and they will only affect other people's performance, and will not have any effect!

The two old men quickly got down the city wall and returned to the village to inform other villagers.

"The guards at the gate of the village are not moving!"

"Notify the rest of the guards who are resting! Come here and gather at the end of the village!"

"Check other areas of the city wall to see if there are any lizardmen?"

"Move all the bricks to the city wall! Servants, stand up according to the previous rehearsal! Once the lizardman is close to the city wall, take the bricks and smash them down!"

"I assure you, as long as you make meritorious deeds, as long as you kill the Lizardman, you will receive my special reward, you will no longer be a slave, your lord, I, Baron William, will grant you freedom! You will become free citizens of the small village of Nise!"

"Guards, for the same feat, you will get honor, money, and power from me!"

"Fight! Fight for our survival!"

William gave orders calmly.

Under his command, the members of the guards and servants, who had been absent-minded, also came back to their senses, and they all got busy nervously, carrying out every order of William!
