Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Now the wood elves and their Da Zhou have a closer connection.

In order to facilitate the traffic between the two places, and also considering the convenience of daily purchase and transportation, Da Zhou also sincerely proposed that the wood elves build a road outside the village.

The road is not long, it is just extended from the transportation route of their Da Zhou mine, and it will be finished when it is built to the entrance of the village.

In this way, if there are carriages going to the wood elf village in the future, they can go straight all the way, which will undoubtedly greatly improve the convenience of daily outings and purchases and transportation, and by the way, it will also take out the savings of the wood elves.

Faced with this proposal, Locke was a little hesitant.

"This will cost a lot of money, right?"

Obviously, their village does not have much savings.

Looking at Locke who was hesitant, Xiao Li from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs smiled.

"Chief Locke, think about it. The young people in the village are working outside now. There are not many young and strong people in the village who can move things. You go out to purchase things every day. When you come back, you still have to hire people to move the things. It still costs money, right?"

"But if the road is built, it will be a one-time solution. When the carriages are ready, they will drive directly to the entrance of your village. When the carriages are at the entrance of the village, there are only a few steps to go. You can move the things on the carriages at will, and that's it. Rounding it off, this can save countless transportation fees."

Locke usually doesn't think about this matter. Now that Xiao Li gave him such an analysis, he immediately felt that it made sense!

"You are right! Build a road!"

Simply plan the route. It is estimated that it is only about two or three hundred meters from the transportation route of their Dazhou mine to the wood elf village.

This distance, as long as there is enough labor, a simple road can be built quickly.

The wood elves go to Green Forest City to purchase daily necessities every month. After this section of road was built, they soon experienced the convenience of it.

Just as Xiao Li said at the beginning, the carriage carrying their daily necessities can now drive directly to the entrance of their village, and they can also sit in the carriage directly, which really saves a lot of effort.

However, when it came to asking them to move things by themselves, they tried it for the time being, but in the end they chose to spend more money and let the deliveryman help them move.

Of course, compared with the previous time, because they have already arrived at the entrance of the village, the transportation fee is much cheaper, and Locke and the others can accept it.

Later, when they were chatting, Locke mentioned this matter to Xiao Li, saying that Xiao Li still didn't know them well enough and only guessed half of it at the beginning, but Xiao Li smiled and said nothing, and brought the topic over.

On a new day, a carriage with the flag of the Great Zhou arrived at the entrance of the village.

In this midsummer weather, the wood elves who stayed here, including Locke, were chatting in the shade of the trees. The movement at the entrance of the village soon attracted their attention.

"Why is there a carriage?"

"Look at the flag, it's from the Great Zhou."

"It can't be that the bad boys finally remembered to come back to visit?"

"Bullshit! After they went out one by one, none of them missed home!"

"That can't be said. In fact, they haven't been out for long, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene suddenly fell into a brief silence.

Indeed, for the elves with a long lifespan, let alone two or three years, even five or ten years, or even ten or twenty years, it seems to them that it's just a moment.

But they don't know when it started, they suddenly felt that this time was gradually becoming longer.

Just as they were thinking about this, a figure in military uniform had already walked down from the carriage.

"That seems to be an officer of the Great Zhou."

The other party was dressed in a black military uniform, with a copper-buckled belt around his waist, and a wide-brimmed military cap of the same color on his head. There was also a steel cap badge on it. The cap badge was engraved with the symbol of their Great Zhou, a seal-style "Zhou".

Locke, who noticed the other party's presence, hurried out to greet him.

"I wonder if you have anything to do in our village?"

Hearing this, the figure was stunned for a moment, and then pushed his military cap up.

"Chief, it's me."

Looking at the face exposed under the brim of the hat, Locke was dazed.

"John?"

This shout was a little uncertain in the tone, which made John laugh and cry.

"It's me, Chief. I haven't been back for a few months. You don't recognize me?"

"No. You have changed too much. Are you an official in the Great Zhou?"

What Locke said was absolutely correct. After several months of military training, John's temperament has changed drastically. It's like a different person. No wonder Locke didn't dare to recognize him at once.

"I have now joined His Majesty's personal guards and served as a squadron leader in the personal guards, which is also a small official."

At the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty, because the size of the army and the number of soldiers were limited, the military rank started directly from the lieutenant.

But now with the expansion of the territory and the increase in the number of soldiers, Zhou Xu also added two more ranks, non-commissioned officer and private, below the lieutenant.

After the training of new recruits, the soldiers who officially joined the army were unified as privates, and the privates were above non-commissioned officers.

Non-commissioned officers are divided into corporals, sergeants, staff sergeants, and sergeant majors.

In theory, in this peaceful period, John has no military merits and no qualifications, so it is somewhat unreasonable to give him a higher rank.

But considering the special situation that he is now leading a team of 100 wood elves, Zhou Xu still arranged a corporal rank for him to make him more legitimate.

John was surrounded by the elders of the village in a blink of an eye. Feeling the elders' surprised or curious eyes, John suddenly felt like returning home in glory and was quite happy.

However, he did not forget what their majesty had ordered.

After chatting with the elders in the village, he called the tribe leader to the shade of a tree and talked about business.

"Your majesty called me back this time because he wanted to ask you something..."

While speaking, John first talked about the spiritual attributes.

The main reason is that none of their wood elves can read at this stage. Locke can't understand Zhou Xu's letter.

There is no way, so he can only dictate it to John and let John convey it.

Along the way, John was also afraid that he would not remember it after a long time, so he hurried to tell it first.

"You said that His Majesty now feels that the power of the truth in his body is so full that it is almost overflowing?"

"That's what His Majesty said. At the same time, whenever His Majesty looks at me, I feel a huge pressure and dare not look at His Majesty at all..."

Listening to John's description, Locke nodded, obviously knowing what was going on, but also full of surprises.

"I really didn't expect that His Majesty's cultivation has reached this level."

Thanks to the book friend 'Yue Ti' for the reward!
