Roland stayed overnight in the village of the Valley, settled the 100 ploughing horses, presided over the establishment of a new commune leadership with Malik, the director of the commune, Peter, the resident priest, Nikolai, the sheriff and militia company commander, and the druid-bafra, and on the afternoon of April 5, he bid farewell to all the villagers who had come to see him off spontaneously, and returned to Krasburg on the "Dawn".

Tonya also traveled to Krasbourg on the same airship. The airship slowly rose into the air, Tonya stood in front of the porthole, witnessing the villagers who were reluctant to leave for a long time, and the familiar village scene in front of them gradually disappeared, recalling the bits and pieces of the three-year work in the village, bitter and sweet, this Druid lady, who had always been indifferent, couldn't help but reveal her true feelings, and tears blurred her eyes.

Roland saw her wipe the corners of her eyes, and couldn't help but think back to the scene when she first arrived in Vale Village two years ago. At that time, Tonya had been living in the village for a whole year, and had helped the villagers to obtain an unprecedented harvest, but instead of being loved by the people, she was regarded as a witch by the villagers, who hated and feared her.

In such a hostile environment, it is easy for a "substitute" like Tonya to go to the extreme of cynicism, and degenerate into a cruel and evil ghost woman, like her mother Agnes. However, this strong girl did not give in to her nature, and finally ended the mother-daughter feud in the depths of the misty swamp with her own hands, overcoming the fate of the "replacement child......

After the battle in the depths of the swamp, Roland left Vale Village to continue his journey north, and for the next two years he exchanged letters with Tonya. During spring ploughing, Tonya would describe to him in letters the hard work of the peasants, her panic about natural disasters such as droughts, floods, locusts, etc., and her hope for good weather, from which it was not difficult for Roland to taste her sympathy for her neighbors; And when the autumn harvest comes, Tonya will write to him in high spirits to describe the record grain production, the joy and pride of the families celebrating the harvest, and the granaries full of joy and pride—needless to say, she also has a part of the credit.

Through these letters, Roland could see Tonya's change of mind. From the beginning, he was ordered by Valentina to settle in Valley Village, and he was bent on completing the mission assigned by his teacher, destroying the ghost woman war group in the depths of the swamp, and cutting off the curse in his blood, and improving the farmland and getting rid of insect pests was just fulfilling the obligations of the Green Druids, let alone having any feelings for the neighbors of Valley Village; When she returned to the village from the depths of the swamp, the demons that had tormented her for many years passed away with Agnes' death, and her personality gradually became more optimistic, and she devoted herself to the work in the village, and the villagers learned that she had led a war to completely wipe out the Ghost Woman Warband, so that the children in the village no longer had to fear the nightmare in the nursery rhyme, and their attitude towards her changed greatly.

In the last two years of the valley village, Tonya truly integrated into the villagers, and at the same time won the love of the people, and now it is normal to leave this land that has been sweating and working hard for three years, and it is normal for people to shed tears and say goodbye.

"Don't be sad, we'll come back in the fall." Lyudmila hugged her best friend and comforted her softly.

Tonya wiped her eyes and smiled tearfully, "I have a hunch that when we return to Valley Village, this place will be even more abundant than when I was here." ”

"If the valley village were to leave you for the better, would you feel lost?" Roland smiled and said something annoying.

Lyudmila glared at her angrily, but Tonya smiled even brighter: "If my prediction comes true, it just proves that relying on a druid alone will not be able to make the agricultural level of the valley village go further after all, and only by completely changing the existing small-scale peasant economic model can it be possible to break through the bottleneck of the 'high-level equilibrium' of agriculture in the Far East and make a qualitative leap, and this is the purpose of the reform of the rural and agricultural system. Why can't you be proud? As for the lost? Hehe, non-existent! For example, if a person was famous for his intelligence when he was young, but now he is a famous teacher who is famous all over the world, will he be jealous because his disciples are better than his own at the same age? ”

"Well said!" Roland applauded Tonya's big-picture vision and open-mindedness. Such a person would be too condescending to remain in the valley village, and he will need to use his talents on a broader stage to lead thousands of villages in the Far East – not just one valley village – to change their old appearance and become prosperous.

"What is 'going one step further', what is the 'smallholder economic model', what is 'high-level equilibrium'...... These strange words that Roland is used to come out of Tonya's mouth are really a bit incongruous, where did you learn this set of words? Lyudmila was surprised.

Tonya shrunk her neck, her eyes drifted to the side, she didn't dare to look at her best friend, and replied in a low voice: "I said that I would occasionally correspond with Roland and exchange views on agriculture in the letter, and those concepts just now were all described by Roland in the letter, which made me learn a lot of novel theories and open my eyes." ”

Lyudmila took a deep breath and wanted to act as if nothing happened, but after all, she couldn't help but hug Tonya and turned her head to look at Roland angrily: "Tonya is my person, you are not allowed to hook up!" ”

"If you say that, Tonya will become my rival, and I have to be careful in the future, lest a fire break out in the backyard." Roland casually dissolved the jealousy of the giant girl, making her giggle.

Having said that, Roland actually paid attention to maintaining the dignity of Lyudmila's legitimate girlfriend, and entrusted Tonya to Lyudmila's care after returning to Krasbourg. I don't know if it's because of the deep affection of girlfriends, or in order to facilitate the nearby supervision, Lyudmila simply arranged for Tonya to live in her own home, anyway, the mansion of the "first daughter" of the Kolas Kingdom is big enough, most of the rooms are still empty, except for Roland who occasionally comes to have a loving dinner, there are no visitors, it is strange and lonely to live alone, Tonya lives in, and there is just a companion.

On the first night of her new home, however, Miss Druid was so frightened that she almost rolled up her bed and fled.

It all started when Lyudmila took Tonya on a tour of her villa.

"The first floor is the dining room, the banquet hall and the servants' room, the second floor is the living room, the study, my room and the room where my mother occasionally came to stay, and the third floor is full of guest rooms, all bedrooms with separate toilets and bathrooms."

"Where does Roland live?" Tonya couldn't help but say more.

"He lives in the Friendship Palace."

"It's true, after all, it's His Royal Highness the Prince, and it's like saying that he doesn't live in the palace."
