My farm does not raise idle dragons

Chapter 160 The victims of the ice dragon attack

It was indeed Granny Rodya's speaking style, confident and domineering, Lu Xi couldn't help but think.

She has also learned about elemental mages and elemental warriors. Apart from the distinction between "civil and military", the power of the elements is actually the same.

Gain recognition from the elements, sign an elemental contract, and become an elemental mage/warrior.

The most important part is the "signing of elemental contracts". Hundreds of years ago, the status of the four elemental kingdoms was stable and there were not so many chaotic events.

Every elemental mage or elemental warrior can only sign an elemental contract with the kingdom - for this, they need to be loyal to the kingdom and serve the kingdom for at least several decades.

At the same time, each of the four elemental kingdoms occupies an elemental contract, so that only specific elemental attributes exist in each country. This is also the beginning of the names of the four elemental kingdoms.

Lu Xi thought, this is monopoly.

Later, when rebellions occurred frequently, the element contracts originally guarded by the royal families were frequently stolen and stolen. Although they were eventually recovered, various "pirated contract elements" became rampant.

Although it is a pirated version, the function is the same.

Although there are only four original master copies of "Contract Elements", it is certainly impossible for everyone who signs an element contract to go to the palace to sign with the original master copy.

Therefore, according to different needs, three types of "high-level element contracts", "intermediate element contracts" and "low-level element contracts" were printed, and they were divided into various human towns.

As the name suggests, which elemental contract you sign will determine which level you will be promoted to.

In towns like Crook, there are almost only the lowest "low-level elemental contracts". Only in larger cities can there be "intermediate-level elemental contracts".

The "Advanced Element Contract" is nominally in the hands of the royal family, but in fact, due to the chaos, there have been many pirated element contracts, and many noble families will have one.

But it’s hard to say what the element attributes are.

For example, Xiuge, despite being in the earth elemental kingdom of Trumini, is actually a wind-attributed elemental warrior. This shows that the Bopperstein family at least has a pirated "intermediate elemental contract" with the wind attribute.

Lu Xi thought about it and felt that Grandma Rodya's statement was quite reasonable. Many people could only have access to one type of elemental contract, so how could there be distinctions between elemental attributes?

There's no choice at all.

However, these things had little to do with Lu Xi, so she didn't think about it deeply. She took her cultivation and orc powers to explore for several days. After finding the treasure warehouse of the ruined palace, she decided to go back.

The warehouse containing various treasures is definitely the strongest, and the treasures are sealed more tightly. Even if they have experienced floods, they are still the most complete.

After removing half of the items whose original appearance was unclear, Lu Xi found dozens of well-sealed metal boxes. After finding a way to open them, he found hundreds of otherworldly items inside.

They are all things that can make people’s eyes brighten.

Its value is not much worse than the Moonlight Orb.

After finding these things, the attraction of the ruins to Lu Xi suddenly decreased a lot. Some of the written books that could be found were completely incomprehensible and could only be left to Mi Qi to study slowly.

In addition, staying in the dull underground for days is not very comfortable.

And he didn't go back to Lingxuan Farm for several days. Xiuge and Beast Ge just gave him a few words of advice, so Lu Xi went back.

This time when I went back, I found Annie coming over with a big look on her face, looking very embarrassed.

Although Luo Weimu is the manager of Lingbo Farm, Lu Xi has already said in advance that Luo Weimu is not responsible for things outside Lingbo Farm. No one dares to question Miss Lucy, so if anything happens, he will not do anything. Will go find Rowim.

Lu Xi's previous "adventure" disappearance, and the maid Yawei's search for Luo Weimu were not included in this category.

All along, Betem was the one who was in charge of the people other than the aboriginal people of Lingnan Farm, and after Betem left, it was Shuge who was in charge.

Fortunately, Bertem had taken most of the people away, and the dozens of people left had their own arrangements, so there was no need for Shuge to intervene.

As a result, something really happened and Shuge needed to step forward, but Shuge went off to "adventure" somewhere unknown with Miss Lucy, so the authority to manage things had to be delegated to Granny Rodya.

However, Grandma Rodya received white bread from Miss Lucy during this period. She was in a rare period of clear consciousness and did not want to pay attention to those miscellaneous things.

But except for Grandma Rodya, there were not many people left in Lingxuan Farm. After much deliberation, Grandma Rodya threw the trouble to her students. After all, it represented her identity and had a certain say. .

Needless to say, the mute girl Karan is dedicated to taking charge of the daily life of her mother-in-law Rodya. In addition, she is unable to manage things due to her inability to speak.

The orc could not mention his identity as an orc, but he was also a student of Grandma Rodia, so he was also a candidate. Unfortunately, he and Shuge went to "protect" Miss Lucy.

At the end of the day, Annie looked up and found that she had become the temporary manager of Lingxin Farm. The feeling of rushing ducks to the shelves made her a little embarrassed to face Miss Lucy.

How could she suddenly assume such an important responsibility with such a low status?

However, Mother-in-law Rodia did not give Anne the right to refuse, so Anne had no choice but to take advantage of her. When she saw Miss Lucy coming back, she felt guilty for "taking over the magpie's nest".

It felt like a college student looking for an internship, but ended up being the director of a company. I felt uneasy when I saw the boss of the company.

Before Lu Xi could laugh at Annie's fearful look, he heard Annie report that the patrol team from Lingxin Farm came back the day before yesterday and brought back villagers from several villages.

"Bringing back villagers?" Lu Xi was surprised.

Calculating carefully, it has been more than half a month since Binglong left. Logically speaking, it would not take more than ten days for the patrol to walk around Lingnan Farm. It is not Crook Town. Such a large area.

Sure enough, there is another reason for coming back so many days late.

Anne nodded cautiously, and then briefly explained what happened.

It all starts with the ice dragon.

The ice dragon spewed ice elemental power for a day at Lingyan Farm, causing hundreds of kilometers of surrounding land to be frozen, and this range inevitably affected some surrounding villages.

The only good news is that because Lingxuan Farm is the main place where the ice dragon attacks, except for the ice layer around Lingxuan Farm, which is about three meters thick, the edge is only a few dozen centimeters high.

In addition, it takes time for power to be transmitted, so basically everyone avoided it, and no one was directly frozen and lost their life.

Although Keren is okay, the house is uninhabitable.

For example, in Xinwa Village, because the building is stable and well sealed, there is basically no impact on the inside. Only the outside of the house is frozen. However, the buildings outside do not have this solid effect, especially those in small villages. Most of them are stone houses and mud houses.

The gap in the former is so large that even the wind cannot avoid it. The breath of ice elemental power penetrates directly into it, sealing the room in ice.

The latter is too fragile, and the ice cracks directly from the freezing, making it uninhabitable.

The patrol team patrolled and inspected the surrounding area and soon discovered several villagers who had lost their homes.

Food, clothes, etc. were all taken with them when they were in danger, but without a house to shelter from the wind and cold, and with the arrival of winter, they had no hope of survival.

Go out...how to go out? It is difficult to travel in the ice and snow, let alone where to go. If you stay in the village, there are one or two walls to block the cold wind.

Several families gathered together to keep warm, and they could barely hold on for a while.

The patrol leader was Noson. When he saw these villages and these people on the road, he felt compassion and decided to take them all back to Lingbo Farm and search other villages along the way.

It took a lot of time to go back and forth.

Of course, Northam knew Miss Lucy's kindness and knew that if it were Miss Lucy, she would never ignore these people, so she made such a decision.

If he were in the hands of other nobles, even if Northen had such a kind heart, he probably wouldn't be able to behave in such a kind way.

As expected, Lu Xi didn't say anything about Nuosen's behavior. His face, which was originally filled with joy because he had obtained a large amount of treasure, also showed a guilty expression.

She didn't think about these things at all. Although she knew that there were many villages around Lingxuan Farm, she didn't think about whether Binglong's incident would affect them at all. She had only noticed Lingxuan Farm and the Xinwa Village next to it. .

"Where are they now?" Lu Xi asked.

Since it happened the day before yesterday, Annie must have made preliminary arrangements.

Annie said carefully, "One of the villages, called Darxi Village, had some contact with Xinwa Village, and Xinwa Village voluntarily took them in."

Lu Xi had some impressions of Darcy Village. Cross said that on their way to Lingxuan Farm, it was Darcy Village who gave them some food to keep them going.

There are probably more than a hundred people, not too many people. A total of four houses have been built in Xinwa Village. One of them was previously occupied by Marco and the others. Now it is empty. It is convenient to live in Zhengda West Village. .

Although it was originally designed to accommodate only 20 people, it was designed based on a living distance of about one meter for each person. It is not a problem to accommodate more than 60 people if they are squeezed in, and the ground is designed to have a distance of two meters. With a lot of width, it can accommodate many people on the ground floor.

But in fact, there is no need to be so crowded. The people of Xinwa Village living in the other three houses, including the children, are only fifty people. If they leave some space for each, they can also accommodate many people. It is not necessary All live in the same house.

Lu Xi nodded, Annie breathed a sigh of relief and continued.

"There are three villages left, and I let them live in the square temporarily." Annie said, feeling a little embarrassed.

This is what Anne learned from before seeing Miss Lucy, who placed people in the square at every turn. Annie took the medicine according to the prescription.

Lu Xi had nothing to be dissatisfied with, and even she had no better choice.

Anne then reported in a low voice, "Most of those villagers didn't have a place to live, so I took out all the tents and gave them to them."

There are varying numbers of people in these three villages. The smallest one has only sixty people, which is not much more than Xinwa Village. The number of survivors in Xinwa Village is not the number of people in the entire village.

The largest one has 110 people, and the other one has about 80 people. The total number is more than 270. Counting Darxi Village, Lingxin Farm suddenly has more than 400 people.

The better thing is that these people basically bring enough food to survive the winter and do not need much relief from Lu Xi.

But in fact, there were not many tents. The tents that Xinwa Village had lived in before, plus those tents left by the Marco patrol team, were less than fifty, and they could only barely accommodate nearly three hundred people.

Lu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the preliminary arrangements were settled. Seeing this, he couldn't help but look at Annie with admiration. Although she didn't do many things, there were really not many people who could do the right things.

"Well done." Lu Xi patted Annie on the shoulder and praised her sincerely.

Annie was stunned for a moment, and her eyes suddenly became moist, but the tears did not fall. She just said in a muffled voice, "It's good that I didn't disappoint you, Miss Lucy."

After all, Anne is a young girl.

After going to the square to take a look at the condition of these villagers, although it was not very good, it was not too bad either. Lu Xi put other things aside and prepared to resettle these people.

It is definitely not possible to live in the square all the time, not to mention that Noson has already taken people to patrol the surrounding areas to see if there are any other affected villages. If he brings back some people, he must think of other resettlement methods in advance.

At present, the four villages, including Xinwa Village, already have a population of less than 500 people.

Lu Xi's head hurt. She had a headache before and there was no one to work with. She didn't expect so many people to suddenly appear. Unfortunately, they were all illiterate. There were less than one person like Cross who knew hundreds of words in total. Number of fingers on hand.

……Um? Talent, illiterate...

Lu Xi blinked, and she suddenly remembered her previous arrangements for Xinwa Village - because there were too many things and too many surprises, most of the arrangements had been put on hold.

She had thought before that if there was nothing to do in the winter, she could let them learn to read in the house, and it was not too late to make arrangements now.

As for the people in other villages, Lu Xi thought about it and decided to thaw other parts of Xinwa Village and build houses again.

Fortunately, when the site of Xinwa Village was selected, it was chosen based on hundreds or even thousands of people, which is completely enough to build houses to accommodate so many people.

It was a bit troublesome to obtain the materials. After all, it was frozen, and the price to pay for defrosting was not low.

In other words, Lu Xi didn't mind spending such a small amount of money now that his pockets were bulging.

Lu Xi made arrangements as soon as he thought of it. Lu Xi called Cross and asked him to write down the words he knew silently. He also helped compile a list of Chinese characters and asked Cross to teach everyone in Xinwa Village how to read.

However, recognizing Chinese characters is not all the work. Two hours of studying a day is enough. After knowing all these characters, Lu Xi will decide to take the next step.

The rest of the time, just follow the construction of the house. After all, these people in Xinwa Village have experience, and letting them help will get twice the result with half the effort. It is always easier than others to learn from scratch.

　There is no lag and I feel comfortable typing hahahaha
