Lord Helanza

Surdak and five youngsters returned to Wall Village on the tenth day of their trip. No one knew their return date, so there were only two cold and cheerless under the withered trees at the entrance of the village. The two male children playing in the mud under the wooden boards looked at the entire group with a ignorant look. At the beginning, the two children thought they were the caravan returning, and they were so excited that they yelled, because Every time the caravan comes, they will each be given a small piece of toffee.

The entrance of the village was written in white chalk with a few round mud sticks on the wooden boards of Wall Village. Obviously, this is the masterpiece of these two male children.

When the male child sees a group of people walking with the horse, it is Surdak and Charlie. They don’t even care to say hello to them. She turned around and ran into the village like she was shouting. "The wolf is coming", yelling: "Surdak Knight is back, Charlie is back, and Luke is back..."

That's the kind of oasis seen from the barren next door. The mood is that the lonely traveler returns to the noisy village, re-feels being noticed, cared for, expected, and admired by others, and then my heart is filled with something unfathomable mystery, Surdak I feel that this may be a kind of sustenance of the soul, a certain perception of life, maybe this can be regarded as a kind of life.

Each of them is carrying two large bags of sulfur ore on their horsebacks. There is nothing else. They have been eating and sleeping in the Paglos mountain range all the way. When they return to the village, they have a drink. The clear spring water by the Piao River feels like a great enjoyment.

At the edge of the village, there is a river with fifteen chestnut trees growing. The stream enters a gentle curve here and forms a natural pool. This is almost a summer resort for children to cool off. After entering September, there are not many children who can swim in the water. Now this is a bathhouse for six youngsters. Surdak is soaked in the cool water and the shore is full of children. This group is still on their adventure. Very curious, yelled for Charlie to tell them.

Charlie leaned against a big rock by the stream, and the afternoon sun shined through the chestnut tree and shone on his bronze skin, leaving patches of warm light spots.

While Charlie patiently told the children how to survive in the wild, a young woman walked over with a big tub, thinking she was going to the stream. Washing clothes, but didn't expect to squat down beside Charlie without a sound. The young woman put her skirt on her knees and tied a button, kneeled behind Charlie, and picked up the loofah from the wooden tray with a loud sound. Silently wiped Charlie's back.

Fortunately, at this time, Surdak was wearing a pair of boxer shorts, which made it less embarrassing.

However, Luke and Val didn’t care. They were soaking in the stream and discussing with envy whether or not to get married before serving in the military. The younger Val decided that must be in full military service. Marrying afterwards, it might be fairer to the future wife.

Surdak didn't know that Charlie actually had a wife, and Charlie had also served in the military.

It’s just that his troops are stationed all year round on the plane of Swarovski where the Grand Duke of Newman has jurisdiction. There has not been a plane war on that plane so far, so Charlie and Luke acted on that plane. It took four years for the generals to return to the village of Wall after serving their full military service.

In fact, Luke also has a beautiful fiancee. His fiancee is not from Wall Village. Luke plans to hold a wedding after the Harvest Festival, because after the Harvest Festival can the wedding be more decent.

Val and the other two youngsters have not yet served in the military. Probably after the harvest festival, Charlie will go to Helanza to see if it’s possible for them to perform military service on the planes of Swarovski. There is no plane war there.

It was Luke’s younger sister who came to wipe Luke's back. Waal and two other youngster’s elder sisters also arrived one after another. Six youngsters bathed in the stream, more like a villager. This kind of ceremony, only the warriors in the village can enjoy this kind of treatment, and it is also a kind of affirmation that they can bring back the sulfur mine.

The old village head was very dissatisfied that Natasha hadn't appeared at this time. He sat on a stool under the chestnut tree and chatted with some old people in the village. The one called Carla The hunting dog lay quietly at the feet of the old village chief, and the old village chief said to Luke: "Look, how is the girl in Pe Laze comparable to our Wall Village? Yes, you will divorce tomorrow, and you don’t want that little dowry..."

"I won’t retreat, I will marry the girl from Pelize." Luke ignored the old village chief’s anger after he finished speaking. His beard was curled up, and he jumped into the stream like a silver carp.

Surdak leaned on the shore a little awkwardly, touched his nose, and explained to the old village chief: "And I asked Natasha not to come... Actually, the girl from Pelize is pretty good too!"

The old village chief snorted his nose and ignored Surdak's remarks. He put the walnut pipe into his mouth and took two puffs.

Charlie didn't dare to interject at all, and asked his young wife in a low voice, "When I was leaving, I asked you to water the wall every morning and evening. Did you do that?"

p>

"I always water the wall every day, but the wall is still so short, it hasn't changed much!" Charlie's young wife whispered.

Charlie patted the back of his wife’s hand, and whispered: "Actually, I never figured out why I want to water the wall everyday all. Just do it. This time I bring back a lot. The sulphur ore, maybe you don’t need that wall in the future!"

Charlie’s wife is very honest, and when she heard Charlie say this, she quickly nodded and said she knew it.

Years of plane wars have caused the Grimm Empire’s population to drop drastically. Many young and middle-aged men have died on the battlefield, which has also aggravated the rate of population imbalance. Now the Grimm Empire’s male-to-female population ratio is 3:7. Around this, some areas may not be able to achieve this, the number of men has decreased, and the living standards of the people have fallen.

Charles Your Majesty of the Grimm Empire, in order to stimulate the population growth of the empire, issued a decree that adult women must marry before the age of 25, and widows and widows who are widowed must also choose a spouse within three years, otherwise the district administration The hall will force a match.

Of course, the district administration office will not choose the best. For the family where the government enforces the distribution, the man is likely to be an alcoholic, or a homeless man, or a person who has returned from the battlefield. Disabled veterans... But in many areas this decree is invalid for nobles.

This also indirectly led to the low social status of Grimm Empire women. After all, men have more opportunities to make choices.

Therefore, the old village chief expressed dissatisfaction with Natasha, and there are good reasons, even more how Surdak is now a reserve Knight, and is logically qualified to marry aristocratic lady.

Surdak finds it boring to soak in the pool and make people look around like a monkey. He wants to get out early, go home and sleep well, and then talk to the old village chief about these sulfur mines. The village chief can’t wait, after all, it’s related to the livelihood of the whole village...

At this moment, the children around the stream'hula' spread out, giving way to a huge side of the road. When the gap came, everyone else looked over there, and saw Selena walking up to Surdak gracefully holding a wooden basin. She picked up the linen skirt and squatted behind Surdak, hiding in the skirt. The little girl underneath hurriedly pulled down her long skirt.

Surdak is a bit not knowing what to do, turning his head just to see Selena’s deep and bright eyes, her pupils are like glass-fiber-like green lines, which makes her eyes incomparable Magnificent, but looking at him with a faint smile made Surdak feel a decisive taste.

He feels that if he avoids at this time, Selena is likely to do something decisive...
