It feels so good to stick to Miss Witch

The current Blackstone collar, after the Xinghu incident, will probably have a relatively stable development period at least until the beginning of next spring.

This also means that Roy and the witches no longer need to hide in the hidden place every day.

With so many people together, the excitement is quite lively, but being squeezed into such a small space, many things are inconvenient!

Who wants to be crowded when there is a spacious and comfortable environment?

Roy stood up, glanced at the busy witches, and prepared to go outside by himself.

Now he, in the "destroyed state", has been able to blow out the golden one star who was caught off guard with one punch. As long as he does not encounter a legend, even if he encounters a golden peak, even if he loses, he can persist in a few moves until Aisi's support arrives. Therefore, He no longer needs to be careful like in the past, and must be surrounded by witches at all times.

Go through the door of space and come to the courtyard.

Roy raised his head and looked up at the half-red sun at the junction of the sky and the earth in the distance.

The evening wind was blowing, Roy raised his hand, and the wind was still blowing through his fingers, feeling the coolness mixed with it.

After the Fengyang Festival, the weather gradually turned cooler, and the temperature during the day could only be maintained at a maximum of more than ten degrees. At the coldest time at night, it even dropped below zero. It is estimated that the windy winter will soon come. advent.

Winter in this world is extremely cruel.

For Blue Star in Roy's previous life, whether there will be snow in winter depends mainly on the latitude of the region, but this is not the case in winter in this world.

After winter, the entire territory of the Glory Empire will be covered with heavy snow, not only the Glory Empire, but also the Kelai Empire in the south of the mainland.

The coldest time reaches minus [-] to [-] degrees. If there is no fire source for heating, food for energy, and warm clothes, it is normal for civilians to freeze to death.

Even in the most prosperous city in the empire, the capital of the empire—Saint-Fouille, some people would freeze to death in winter, not to mention the Black Stone Territory, which is located on the border and far from being rich in supplies. In previous winters, about half of the Black Stone Territory Successful people will pass away quietly in the heavy snow.

Half of the freeze-to-death rate sounds appalling, but it is actually quite good among the many territories in Rafah Province.

In the Iron Mountain Territory next door to Blackstone Territory, due to Lord Denham's "tyranny" in previous years, the rate of freezing to death among the citizens who lacked winter supplies reached a staggering [-]%!

If it weren't for the people of this era who left the territory hastily without a guide and had a higher death rate, I am afraid that some people would have fled the Iron Mountain Territory long ago.

Thinking of the supplies needed for the winter in the Black Stone Territory and the Iron Mountain Territory, Roy was a little distressed.

There are only about ten days left before winter begins. According to the original plan, Reid needs to go to Red Collar, which is five collars away, to the north of Heishi Territory, to buy grain. Procrastinate.

Grain transportation is not as fast as rushing, the speed is very slow. It is estimated that it will take three days to go back and forth. This is still under the condition that everything is going well. If there are bandits blocking the way, the speed will be delayed.With Reid and a group of official knights escorting the car, ordinary bandits are not a concern, but these cunning bandits will set up roadblocks, dig pits, or set up traps on the road, which will greatly affect the speed of the car.

If Roy had enough space rings on hand, Redd could go there and come back quickly. However, with a combined population of nearly [-] in the Black Stone Collar and Iron Mountain Collar, a winter needs a lot of food, even if it is a high-level space. The ring is far from enough.

What's more, there are many important things stored in the high-level space ring, and they cannot be tampered with.

After being promoted to three silver stars, Roy's perception ability has been greatly improved. Although he can't scan within a certain range like the Golden Knight, he can still perceive the general direction of the fighting energy fluctuations.

Soon, Roy found Red.

At this moment, Reid is sitting in the office in the lord's mansion, dealing with territorial affairs.

As the steward of the two major territories, Red had to deal with very heavy affairs every day.

All aspects of food and clothing need to be taken care of by him personally.

With the approaching cold winter and the initial union of the territory, there are too many things to deal with.

When Roy came to the office, Reid had just finished dealing with the last task at hand. He let out a light breath, his face showing fatigue visible to the naked eye.

To make an extraordinary knight with three bronze stars sluggish to such an extent shows how hard Reid has worked during this time.

"Tap..."

Roy's undisguised footsteps made Red raise his head. When he saw Roy, the tired look on Red's face disappeared, and he stood up quickly, with excitement and joy in his eyes.

"Master Roy."

"It's been a hard time for you, Uncle Reid." Roy walked into the office, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and said apologetically.

"Where, this is what I should do." Reid grinned and made a cup of tea for Roy: "I'm going to find you."

"The food purchase plan must be put on the agenda immediately."

"During this time, the scout knights have received news that there is some instability around Chiling. The cold winter is approaching, and bandits are very serious. If we are going to buy food, we must allow more time."

"During this period of time, you haven't shown up for something, and I dare not leave the Blackstone collar."

"For the first time in the territory, there must be someone in the mansion who can make up his mind."

Roy nodded: "I was also about to tell you about this. I will be in the mansion from now on. You can do the food shopping with peace of mind. Take more knights to make sure there are no accidents."

"I understand!" Reid nodded vigorously.

"By the way, Uncle Red, why is there so much banditry near Chiling?" Roy asked curiously.

Generally speaking, if there are bandits near the territory, the local lord will send troops to exterminate them, and it is absolutely impossible to let them wreak havoc.

"You don't know something." Reid sighed: "As the province of the border between the empire and the Kolai empire, Rafah province has the most important military service in the entire empire."

"Take the Tieshan Territory as an example. With a total population of just over 1300, the total number of trainee knights and formal knights is close to 200. This means that for every six citizens, there is one who eats a lot and is completely full-time. Apprentice knights, full-time knights, and extraordinary knights eat more food and need more support from the people, which is a very abnormal ratio."

"In other provinces, fifteen to twenty people usually support a knight."

"But there is no way. As a border territory, in order to fight against the Collet Empire, each small territory must send enough knights to the 'Wall of Rock' to participate in the war every year."

"But in this way, it will cause great pressure on people's livelihood in various territories in Rafah Province."

"Wars kill people, and those knights who were conscripted for military service but failed to return, what about their families?"

"Every territory has a pension for the knights who died in battle, but this pension is far from enough for a family that has lost its main support. Over time, many young and old people who are afraid of war will choose to flee from the territory. Gather from land to place, and make a living by looting houses."

"Generally speaking, when bandits appear, the local lords will take the initiative to eliminate them, but the special thing is that this year, the two countries have frequent conflicts. In previous years, the military support once a year came three times, while Chiling In the nearby White Oak Territory, its lord died in battle, and the family has no heir, so the whole territory is in chaos."

"Before the arrival of the new lord, the Cavaliers led by White Oak fell apart, carrying the wealth of Lord White Oak, formed several bandits, and ran into the surrounding mountains."

"As Chiling is a famous grain producing area in Lafah Province, these bandits are naturally concerned. They surround Chiling, guarding various official roads, and robbing the caravans that come to buy grain."

After listening to Reid's narration, Roy said incredulously: "The lord of Chiling let these bandits control the important roads, and didn't send troops to crusade?"

Reid shook his head: "Why not? It's just that bandits are cunning. They run back to the mountains when they encounter hard stubble. In addition, there are many formal knights among bandits. The lords of Chiling are old and weak, and their energy is low. Without the dispatch of extraordinary knights, the knights under his command alone can't wipe out these bandits, so they can only ask the border duke for help, but the border situation is also critical, and it is necessary to guard against possible attacks by the Collet Empire at any time, and there is really no manpower available , so this matter has been delayed again and again.”

"I see."

Roy nodded: "The matter of the Red Ridge can be settled easily when the Duke of the Frontier takes his hand and sends out a red knight. We are just buying food, so we don't have to worry about it. With you in charge, the mere Bandit Don’t dare to come and rob.”

"Winter is coming, time is running out, tomorrow morning, Uncle Red, please leave as soon as possible."

"I understand." Red nodded.

After explaining the purchase of grain, the sky was completely dark.

Roy left the office and returned to the courtyard.

I have to say that Reid's work efficiency is really high. In just over two days, the small courtyard that was devastated by the aftermath of the battle between Aisi and Fuma has basically recovered. The inside cannot be recovered, it needs time to grow slowly.

After returning to the small courtyard, Roy was about to go to the hidden place, but just as he walked into the door of the treasure room, he saw Shanika in a goose-yellow dress walking out of the semi-illusory space door.

"Master Roy."

Seeing Roy standing at the door, Shanika smiled: "I didn't see you after I finished practicing the basic meditation method. I guess you must have come out, so I also came out to take a look."

"That's it." Roy smiled back, and was about to walk into the door of space, when Shanika suddenly said softly:

"Master Roy, there is something I want to talk to you about."

"Just the two of us."

Roy turned his head and looked at the girl with horns next to him.

He noticed the complex emotions in the girl's eyes, this was the first time he had seen this kind of expression on Shanika.

Without hesitation, Roy nodded: "Okay."

After all, under the leadership of Shanika, the two came all the way to the bottom of Blackstone Prison and entered Shanika's "room".

Chapter 121 I can’t help but want to “eat” you

~(Please subscribe!)

Bright but soft white light spilled from the top of the room, reflecting this "different space" at the bottom of the prison as if it were daytime.

Looking at the exquisite room in front of him composed of flower beds, green plants and other furniture, Roy's eyes were in a trance for a moment.

When was the last time I came here?

Oh, yes, when I left with Shanika.

At that time, he was just a knight Xiaobai who had just learned the breathing method, but now, he has the strength to threaten the golden knight.

During this period of time, he and the witches have experienced too many things...

"call……"

Roy took a deep breath, and a faint fragrance flowed into his nose, but he didn't know whether the fragrance was left in the room or came from the girl.

Roy looked at the girl who turned around in front of him, with the small platinum horns on her head glowing slightly under the white light: "Shanika, you can say what you want now, there are only two of us here."

Although he didn't understand what was causing Shanika to make the decision that the two of them could only talk in private, after all, the witches did not hide even such a secret as the effect of talent evolution, but Roy respected Shanika Card decision.

Returning to the house where she had lived for more than ten years, a complex look appeared in Shanika's eyes.

After more than ten years of imprisonment, she was full of hatred for everything here at first, but for some reason, this emotion disappeared unconsciously... Perhaps, it was because this house carried other people besides herself. A person's existence and memory.

Shanika stared at Roy with eyes as warm as water, and said softly:

"Master Roy, I haven't fully explained what happened to me during the evolution of my talent."

"Unlike Miss Ais and Miss Lilia, my talent evolution is not a 'test', but more like a 'inheritance'."

Shanika's words made Roy's eyes move slightly, but he did not interrupt, but listened quietly to the girl's narration.

The soft light flows down from Shanika's long hair that vertically covers her shoulders, making the goose yellow dress more colorful.

"My innate evolution space is a vast and endless withered world."

"Grey covers the world, plants, mountains...everything is covered in gray and loses its vitality. I can't think of other adjectives other than withered."

"The place where I appeared was a gray mountain, and the erosive purple rain kept falling. I climbed and climbed, climbed and climbed, and I climbed to the top of the mountain. A pitch-black giant tree supporting the ground appeared in front of me."

"Compared with this giant tree, the gray mountain under my feet is like a small gravel, and there are many more 'crushed rocks' like this around the giant tree."

"I can't describe its height specifically. Maybe it's [-] meters, maybe it's [-] meters, or maybe it's higher? Compared with the giant tree, I'm just a speck of dust in the world."

"The giant tree has lost its leaves, leaving only the scorched body of the tree as if it had been burnt by a fire, without a trace of greenery."

"I feel an unspeakable sadness. It seems that the whole world is sad because of this giant tree."
