An oil lamp, two men, one old and one strong.

On such a quiet and beautiful night, if you are a lonely man and a widow, you can ambiguously fade some things about the ups and downs, but now it is two men, so you can only talk about boring things. Everyone knows that the things that men can talk about together are nothing more than politics, women, and money.

The old village chief is very old, so old that half of his body has been buried in the soil, so it is impossible to talk about women, and the Reed family is a declining rural aristocracy, so it is impossible to talk about money, so the two of them can only talk about politics now, real village politics.

"Your Excellency Beta, I don't understand why you want to build the road first." The old village chief said indifferently: "I don't think this is a very good practice. Even if the road is built, no one will come to a small village like our Reed Village. ”

Liang Lidong was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "Then the old village chief, what do you think you should do?" ”

The old village chief said proudly: "According to my experience of living for decades, first of all, what we need in Reed Village is people. If you want to develop Reed Village, you must have enough manpower, if it were me, I would take the gold coins to the south of Sigri City, buy hundreds of slaves, and then let them reclaim the fields around Reed Village, as long as there is food and land, we can attract more people to live in our Reed Village, and over time, we will have enough population to become a small town. ”

This method is indeed a safe method that most nobles will use in the game, although it works slowly, but it has a great advantage of saving money.

It didn't cost much to buy a hundred slaves, and let these slaves go to cultivate the fertile land, as long as they were given a minimum of food, and they did not have to pay wages.

Liang Lidong looked at the old village chief who looked quite proud and asked, "Since you already have a plan." Why didn't it be implemented, buy a hundred slaves, it won't cost twenty gold coins. It didn't cost much to cultivate the fertile land, and the living expenses of the slaves didn't cost much. It stands to reason that there is no problem for the Reed family to bear these funds, but why didn't you implement your own plan, old man? If you start this plan on the day you become a villager. Or maybe you're mayor now. ”

The smugness on the old village chief's face was gone, and his face was pulled to the elder.

Liang Lidong sighed: "I don't talk about which of the two development methods is better, but at least I have a little bit more real than you, I will implement it if I have a plan, and you are just dreaming." Even if my plan is not as good as yours, but I did it and you didn't, so I'm better than you. ”

The old village chief's face was red and ugly. It's like being constipated for more than ten days, but I can't pull it out after squatting on the pit.

It's not that Liang Lidong doesn't respect the old man, it's that he doesn't want his plans to be affected. When the old village chief spoke like this, he actually wanted to take this opportunity to get involved in the process of developing the village. Liang Lidong is not interested in power, but for the Goddess of Waujin Cult to develop, it must have a large enough faith population, even if you add up the people of all the villages around Reed Village. There are less than a thousand.

Therefore, the construction of Reed Village within a few years is the most important task. Liang Lidong did not allow his plan to go wrong. The old village chief turned a corner and wanted to get some rights from him, but in order not to let the plan go wrong, he refused the old man very strongly.

The oil lamp was placed in the middle of the table, and the dull yellow lamp swayed occasionally, and from time to time a flying insect hit the flame and made a snort. Fall into the lamp oil.

The embarrassing atmosphere made the old man a little silent, and after a while, Liang Lidong suddenly said: "You don't have to worry about the development of Reed Village, wait until you are on the right track." I'll give the place back to Kyle as promised. I have experience in such things as developing territories, at least more than you, so you don't have to be afraid that I will bring Reed Village to the brink of ruin, even if it doesn't work out, it won't be worse than now. ”

The old village chief still didn't speak, he knew that his time was running out, but as a nobleman, the instinct to like to mix with power would not change, but it was a pity that the young man in front of him was very old-fashioned, not only old-fashioned, but also very old-fashioned in these crooked things, he just said a word, and the other party knew what he was talking about, and he was blocked in one bite, which made him feel very uncomfortable and unwilling. If he had the same sharp intuition and ability as the other party, or the Reed family would have risen again a long time ago.

The flames jumping on the table burned another flying insect that didn't know whether it was alive or dead, both sides were silent, Liang Lidong thought that he had given the bottom line, and it didn't matter if the other party accepted it or not. It doesn't matter if Old Reed doesn't agree, Reed is still under the jurisdiction of Winterwind City, and when the time comes, let Uther put Reed Village under his name, and things can continue as well, at most it may make Kyle a little unhappy, but as long as he explains it well, he should be able to get Kyle's understanding.

After all, Kyle is a good boy and a good student.

"Everything in the world needs strength to fight for and protect." After a while, the old village chief finally spoke leisurely, and his voice became more and more vicissitudes and weakness: "This is the family motto left by the brave ancestors. It's just a pity that there has never been a person who can inherit the bloodline of the brave since our Reed family, until now, but Kyle seems to have some hope. ”

The old village chief's words, with a vague sarcasm, Liang Lidong didn't care, he nodded: "Kyle's talent is indeed amazing, he doesn't seem to be very smart, but he learns things quite quickly. And he also has dark vision, old village chief, do you know what race your family inherits? ”

"If I knew, I would have been a mercenary a long time ago, and when I was young, I had the same dream of being a mercenary as Kyle, but it's a pity that ......"

The old man didn't finish his words, but everyone understood the meaning. He stood up, picked up the oil lamp, and as he walked out, he said, "When people are old, they can't stay up late." Beta, I'll go back first, and if there's anything, let's wait until tomorrow dawn. ”

Liang Lidong sat still, he looked at the wall covered by yellow mud, and said loudly: "The blood magic of the Reed family is sealed here, and I got that piece of yellow mud." You don't want to talk to me about bloodline, because you're afraid that I will have some ill intentions towards your Reed family, which is normal. But I want to tell you something. Kyle's bloodline is not fully activated, he can't learn the bloodline magic here, unless it is activated with some special items, if you have such a thing in the Reed family inheritance, use it as soon as possible, the sooner the bloodline is activated. The greater the growth for the future. ”

The old village chief paused: "We don't have anything like that in our family. ”

After saying that, he left.

Because the oil lamp was taken away, the cave suddenly became invisible, but Liang Lidong didn't care, under Yunlong's vision, there was no difference between day and night. He continued to sit, as if thinking about something.

As the night progresses, the surroundings become quieter, and only the faint sound of insects can be heard from outside.

About an hour later. He stood up and left the cave as well.

In the early morning of the next day, at about five o'clock, Artulun came to knock on the door of the temple, he took fifteen silver coins from Liang Lidong, and led a dozen children to other villages to buy grain, and Suha came and took six silver coins. This is the wages of the laborers today, and Kyle has seven teenagers with him. Carrying sticks and swords, they went out of the village and made their rounds, Joan of Arc hovering over their heads.

Belin and the women had set up several cauldrons and boiled water in the empty mines of the village. As soon as the flour arrives, they can make several pots of batter in a short time for the laborers' breakfast today.

The whole village was in action, and almost everyone had something to do, except for the elderly who really couldn't walk, or the disabled who had difficulty moving.

Liang Lidong handed over the matter to his four students very comfortably. And he went to the back of the temple to practice the 'fogging' magic, and at the same time analyzed the magic running node of this magic. Unlike most magic. The route of bloodline magic lacks many nodes, and these nodes are only replenished when cast by a specific bloodline holder, and under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible to use mental power to detect how these essence points are filled in the magic run.

Liang Lidong also has no way to detect the filling principle of the key nodes, but this does not prevent him from testing, if it is not possible to observe directly with mental power, then there are elimination methods, reverse reasoning, and so on. If it doesn't work once, then do it a few more times, and if it doesn't work a few times, do it hundreds of times.

In the eyes of players, there is no puzzle in this world that cannot be solved, it only depends on whether you have the ability to do it, or whether you use the right method.

Liang Lidong had a feeling that as long as he cracked the 'Cloud Dragon Bloodline Magic', he would definitely be able to open a new magic door, which was something that no one in the game could do.

He practiced the fog driving magic behind the temple for a morning, and didn't stop until his mental power was nearly exhausted. He returned to the temple, took a shower, washed away his sweat, and then made some side dishes for himself to eat, and after filling his stomach, he opened the management interface of the 'Internal Affairs Technique', and carefully inspected the current situation in Reed Village, except that the people's hearts rose by two points to 62 points, nothing else had changed.

No change is a good thing! Liang Lidong turned off the system interface and was about to take a lunch break for half an hour, when the sound of horses' hooves came from the temple, and soon the sound of horses' hooves stopped, Liang Lidong went to the prayer hall and found a woman standing there dressed in black and even her face wrapped in black veil.

After a while, Kyle and the rest of the friends rushed over, sweating profusely, and they separated and fanned out to surround the women in black.

"What's going on?"

Liang Lidong has killed many players and 'NPCs' in the game, and he has also killed a lot of people in reality, so when he asked with a calm face, the sense of majesty spread over like a real mental pressure, and the teenagers immediately trembled. Even the woman in black had a look of shock in her eyes.

Kyle and Mu Jian pointed at the woman in black, and then explained to Liang Lidong, "Teacher, this woman rushed all the way, without any scruples, and injured several people in our village. It wasn't a major injury, but at least it didn't work hard for a few days. ”

Liang Lidong's face remained unchanged, but his voice became a little heavier: "Oh, there is such a thing. You'd better explain, this black-clad guest, that if you're willing to pay enough compensation and apologize to the injured, I can politely send you out of the village, or I won't mind punishing you, even if you're from the Zell family. ”

The woman in black was carrying a spear behind her, and when she heard Liang Lidong's words, she sneered: "Since you know that I am from the Zeer family, you still dare to threaten me, and you are not afraid that my father will come to you for trouble?" ”

This woman's voice is very good, crisp and crisp like a yellow warbler crying, I don't think I should be very old.

Liang Lidong smiled: "It turns out that you are Glinton's daughter, that's really good, you don't need to pay compensation." ”

The woman sneered, her tone full of disdain.

"But I'm going to educate you for your father." Liang Lidong said slowly: "Kyle, you go deal with her and subdue her, but don't hurt her." When she is convinced, you lead her to the apse to find me. ”

After speaking, he turned and went to the apse, and went to bed with his clothes closed. He could see that Kyle's strength should be similar to that of the woman in black, that is, Glinton's daughter, but slightly better, it would not be too difficult to win against this woman, but it would take some time to conquer. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kyle can accumulate actual combat experience, after all, opponents with similar strength are already rare.

After going to bed, Liang Lidong fell asleep quickly, and he woke up after about half an hour, and as soon as he was lazy, Kyle led a beautiful girl in.

At this time, the hood of the woman in black had been removed, and the black veil on her face had also been removed, revealing a pretty face that looked extremely cold at first glance, but was too beautiful. She is a young girl, with long ears, long green hair in a high ponytail, and a pair of green eyes that look like water under her eyebrow bangs.

This girl is very beautiful, but she is proud, and only when she looks at Kyle, her eyes will soften a little, and she seems to have been convinced by Kyle.

Liang Lidong waved his hand and said to the sweaty young man: "Kyle, you take people to continue patrolling to ensure the safety of the construction personnel." It also prevents conflicts and disturbances at the scene. ”

Kyle nodded happily, then turned around and walked away, there was such a big beauty beside him, he didn't look at it at all.

But when the half-elf girl saw Kyle leave, she turned her head and pursed her cute cherry lips, with mixed emotions in her eyes.

"What's your name?" Liang Lidong asked her.

The half-elf girl's eyes widened, and she said with a fierce expression: "Why should I tell you! ”

Liang Lidong stood up with a charming smile on his face: "It doesn't matter if you don't say it, my student can beat you up, make you obedient, I can also beat you, and I promise to hit you harder than him, if you don't cooperate obediently, I don't mind slapping your face swollen." ”

The half-elf girl was shocked, and then frightened: "Why are you so vicious!" (To be continued......)
