My farm does not raise idle dragons

On the tenth day of the trip, the convoy's guard captain Tebas came to report the situation.

The scout team exploring the road ahead discovered a large human village located on the convoy's route.

As evening approached, the convoy needed to choose a place to stay overnight. This large human village was a good choice. However, Tevas did not dare to make a decision on his own, so he came to ask Lu Xi for instructions.

"Large human village?" Lu Xi was a little curious. Is there such a difference? She thought that no matter how big or small the village was, they were all the same.

Tevas is a young man in his mid-twenties. His relatively good talent allowed him to reach the level of an intermediate elemental warrior early. His delicate thinking, which is different from that of ordinary elemental warriors, allowed him to further assume the role of team captain. .

Hearing Miss Lucy's question, Tevas, who had also been a member of the patrol team, nodded and replied, "Yes, Miss Lucy."

Then he briefly talked about some differences between human villages.

The closer a village is to a human town, the smaller the number of people usually is, with one to two hundred people, because as long as there is a chance, they will try to live in a human town.

A large part of the beggars that are always inevitable in human towns are people who come from outside the town. For various reasons, they get a chance to enter the life of human towns.

But he is unable to maintain this kind of life forever, and he is unwilling to leave the human town and return to the wilderness to face those terrible monsters. In the end, he can only become a beggar.

And as we get further away from human towns, the scale of villages spontaneously formed by humans will become larger.

Because humans are a group creature, gathering more of the same kind can improve their survival possibilities and provide them with more resistance to danger.

For example, the Kuwa Village that Lu Xi met at the beginning was almost like this, but more importantly, it was actually the village chief Luli himself. He used his identity and abilities to bring completely different things to the people in the village. life and possibilities.

However, this is not absolute. In some places where there are relatively powerful monsters, human villages will further reduce their membership, reaching only a few dozen people.

Because they do not have the strength to deal with powerful monsters, and too many humans will attract powerful monsters and treat them as food. Only by reducing the number of humans living together can they avoid the attacks of powerful monsters.

And villages that are too dispersed also ensure the continuation of humankind, just like eggs cannot be put in the same basket.

The location of Tanersi Territory is relatively remote, and it is mostly a plain. It does not have a very complex ecological environment, and the types of monsters are not that rich, so there is no need to control the number too extreme.

Far away from the three major human towns, there are many large human villages with more than a thousand people gathered.

Lu Xi nodded clearly, "Let's take a look at the situation around that village. If there's no problem, we'll rest in the village tonight."

After traveling in the wilderness for ten consecutive days, it would be a lot easier for many people to rest for one day in a human village.

Although the travel time is still short, psychological problems will not arise now, but Lu Xi does not intend to wait until problems arise before solving them. Wouldn't it be better if everyone can keep a good attitude throughout the journey.

As the convoy drove, Lu Xi soon saw the large human village that Tevas mentioned.

It's a bit disappointing. It's not on the same scale as the original Kuwa Village, and there's no neat house plan. Many of the houses are even triangular houses that seem to collapse at any time.

Just put several huge logs together to form a cone shape, put small logs on top, and then cover them with layers of soil and leaves to form such a house.

Temporary living was okay, but if it was a long-term stay... Lu Xi could already imagine how dark and damp the interior space without windows and sunlight would be.

Moreover, the trees have not undergone much treatment and are extremely prone to insects. It is probably normal for insects to crawl on you in the middle of the night.

The most difficult thing is when it rains. Houses made of mud turn into puddles of mud and drip when exposed to rain... It may be sunny outside, but it's still "light rain" inside the house.

Kuva Village really gave Lu Xi such a good false impression. Not all people who could become trainee knights would choose to return to their dilapidated village to help their fellow villagers.

Lu Xi thought that Village Chief Luli was worthy of being a trainee knight.

After reading enough books, Lu Xi finally completed most of the knowledge about this different world, because there were many things that were not mentioned openly.

Some are like common sense, and everyone knows it by default, so they won't mention it normally, while others are "taboo" and people don't dare to mention it voluntarily.

As I said before, the status of the Holy See in this world is unusual. The status of priests who are from the Holy See is that "if relatives and priests accuse each other of wanting to harm you, most of them will choose to believe the Holy See priests."

Because the "light element" they believed in was not among the four elements. It was Lophes, the founder of the Holy See. After witnessing the other four people competing for the contract of the four elements, he felt disappointed and turned to "God". Another strength of prayer.

The prerequisite for using this power is "purity of heart", and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is kindness. Once the clean and pure heart is lost, the light element will no longer respond to this person.

It is also because of this that the four elemental kingdoms agreed to let the Holy See intervene after something happened. Instead, the four elemental kingdoms were destroyed and unified eight hundred years ago.

Knights are similar to the Holy See. They are not just an identity, but also represent a kind of power. People who can become knights can get additional strength bonuses.

In contrast, a knight has to "loyalty" to someone or something, and there is no problem in exchanging faith for power.

Therefore, most people who can become knights have an extremely strong character and are unlikely to be treacherous or evil people.

Village Chief Luli's talent is not very good, but his ability to become a trainee knight is enough to prove his character.

According to Tevas, the name of this village is Broken Tail Village, which comes from the fact that a powerful monster attacked the village a long time ago and had one of its tails broken off.

However, no one in the village could read, and this rumor was passed down by word of mouth. It is unknown whether it is true or false.

Most of the villagers' residences are relatively scattered, a bit like living wherever it is suitable to build a house. The village is several miles long, and the distance between the houses is also loose.

The convoy followed the road that the villagers took spontaneously and walked all the way to the innermost part of the village. Only then did Lu Xi see some relatively complete and tall houses. Not to mention how luxurious it is, but it is still sheltered from wind and rain, and there is no problem in keeping warm in the cold winter.

A group of people, including the village chief and village elders, must have gathered outside the largest house in advance, waiting for Miss Lucy's carriage to arrive.

It can be seen that these people's legs are trembling and they don't know where to put their hands. They want to kneel down and kowtow.

But Tevas had already sent people to tell these civilians that they didn't need to kneel down, just stand and answer, so that they could stand here properly.

Perhaps it was because they did not kneel down that they appeared so frightened, fearing that the noble man would be offended by their lack of respect and reverence for not kneeling down.

The head of Duanwei Village is a strong man who looks to be in his thirties. He is extremely tall and powerful, which is in sharp contrast to the skinny villagers on the edge of the village.

But this is by no means oppression, because only one who is strong enough can obtain this status. Only one who is strong enough to lead the villagers to resist the attacks of monsters can be recognized by everyone as the village chief.

Because the village chief himself is the leader who wants to lead the villagers to survive.

If you see those thin figures on the edge of the village and think that the village chief has treated them badly, this is actually a completely wrong idea.

If the village chief is a bad person, then these people are not even qualified to live in the village and will be driven out to die because they live in the village and during some celebrations and festivals, they have to occupy some food shares, and they He has no ability to provide food, so he is just freeloading.

From this point of view, the village chief in front of him, who looked like a rich man and looked like he was not a good person, actually did a pretty good job. At least he gave those villagers a chance to survive.

"Your Excellency, our Duanwei Village has a total of thirty houses that can be occupied by people." The village chief of Duanwei Village swallowed and stood in front of the carriage to reply.

Maybe it was because he couldn't see the person inside, but he didn't look so uneasy when he was talking to a row of wooden boards.

In a village with over a thousand people, there are at least four to five hundred families, and there are only thirty houses that can be said to be "livable".

Lu Xi knew that there must be some houses that could be lived in, but the conditions were not good. The village chief was afraid of offending these adults and causing people to misunderstand, so he only mentioned these houses that he thought were the best.

"No need." Lu Xi's cold voice came out.

The village chief of Duanwei Village didn't have time to think about how nice the noble voice sounded. His knees went weak subconsciously and he knelt on the ground, "My noble man, spare your life!"

Without Lu Xi's instructions, a guard next to him had already reached out to help the village chief up and whispered in his ear, "Miss Lucy doesn't like kneeling around, so shut up and be quiet."

There was no mention of what a wonderful noble lady Miss Lucy was, and it was unlikely that these people would understand, so the escort chose a simpler threat.

The village chief of Duanwei Village immediately shut up and did not dare to speak.

Lu Xi was thinking about it. It was true that she was in a hurry, but on this journey, there was no need to rush just for the sake of rushing.

She wanted to see the scenery on this road, see different scenery, and also wanted to do something to leave her own traces in this world.

"Tevas." A cold voice sounded.

Tevas took a step forward in the crowd and saluted respectfully, "Miss Lucy."

"Choose an open space, allocate half of the manpower, and build a few houses that can accommodate people." Lu Xi ordered.

Tevas was stunned for a moment, but did not ask why. He immediately responded, "Yes."

Originally, Xiuge should be responsible for the management of the team, but his talents were all focused on elemental warriors and he really had no patience for management, so Tevas, who was specially arranged by Bertem, was also responsible for the overall affairs of the team.

Originally, Bethem had arranged it this way. How could he not know the character of Young Master Shuge?

And Tevas was indeed the person arranged by Bertem himself. Almost as soon as he agreed, he almost figured out what Miss Lucy wanted to do.

As early as last night, Tevas reported something to Miss Lucy - many of the people following the motorcade had fallen behind.

Part of the reason was their lack of strength, and part of the reason was that they were unlucky and encountered a sneak attack from monsters.

Lu Xi's team in front was full of powerful auras, and the monsters did not dare to approach. However, the team behind was not only scattered, but also contained a lot of ordinary people's auras, which was the most suitable to attack.

Although Lu Xi realized something was wrong and promptly sent guards to help them drive away the monsters, many people were still injured and could not keep up with the convoy.

But Lu Xi is not a philanthropist. She has no obligation to lead those people. If they fall behind, they can only blame them for their own lack of strength. Lu Xi cannot let the entire convoy, including two hundred people, stop in place and wait for them to catch up. Come up.

But after arriving at Duanwei Village, Lu Xi changed his mind. If the people behind him were doing it themselves, and they had no strength and still had to find a way out, then what did these ordinary villagers do wrong?

Building a habitable house is firstly to give the guards a place to relax and rest after they have been on the road for ten days, and secondly, it can improve the situation of the villagers in Duanwei Village after they leave.

At least this winter, there will be fewer people freezing to death.

The last point is to give those who are left behind a chance to catch up.

Tevas' mind was spinning, and his expression was not revealed. He called out several low-level elemental warriors who had participated in the construction of houses in Lingbo Farm.

When it comes to building a house, it has to be someone from Lingnan Farm.
