Goddess Wanhua Mirror

Sooner or later, the giant dragon flew over the village very quickly, and some sharp-eyed villagers discovered that there was a person sitting on the back of the giant dragon, who looked like a priest who had been kidnapped for more than ten days.

The giant dragon hovered over the village twice, and finally landed slowly in front of the temple gate. People realized that the other party had no intention of attacking, and that the person sitting on its back was indeed a priest, so the fear disappeared, and they were instantly captured. Curiosity replaced it, and they all came together to watch the fun.

On the side of the temple, everyone who heard the noise had rushed to the door. Seeing that Lude, who was sitting on the dragon's back, was safe and sound, they all showed joyful smiles, while Hamilton and Jie Gang looked shocked.

"Master, did the priest tame the black dragon?"

"Probably not, but since you can ride on his back, at least it means that the relationship is not ordinary. This Lude...is amazing!"

Giant dragons are a very proud race. If humans want to enslave these powerful creatures, they usually need to use some special means. It is not difficult to see from the posture of his lowering the dragon's back, just like sitting on a slide, he descended along the bald front arm of the dragon.

"My friends, I'm back!"

Seeing Lude who returned safely, Aina was the first to rush up, and almost knocked Lude over with a flying hammer.In contrast, Shanis was much more reserved, and greeted Lu De with the gift of a disciple, but it was not difficult to see from the smile on her face that she was also very happy with Lu De's return.

At this time, Hume and Luoye stepped forward, suddenly drew their swords and thrust them into the ground, then knelt down on one knee, and said to the bewildered Lude in an impassioned tone.

"My lord priest! My brother and I have been living together for many years, and have met many noble figures, but none of them can compare with you. Your nobleness has impressed my brother and sister. If you don't mind, we are willing to become guards of the temple. , from now on, follow the left and right, at your disposal!"

Hume who suddenly "expressed his loyalty" surprised Lude, but then he understood what she was doing.The other party wanted to be affiliated with the temple as a matter of course, so that even if the mercenary's contract ended, the two of them could continue to stay with the temple, which was regarded as a formal joining.

So Luther took advantage of the opportunity to accept their allegiance. At this time, Nid Hogg behind him pretended to cough twice, and then said in a loud voice that could be heard clearly within two or three circles.

"Human priest, thank you very much for curing my wife and daughter. As a token of my gratitude, I can let go of the previous offense, and at the same time promise you that as long as you don't step into my territory without authorization and try to hurt me My family, I will not take action against your village, everyone will not offend the river, and we will live in peace in the future."

After Nid Hogg finished speaking, he looked down at Hamilton and Jie Gang in the crowd, then turned his head and flew away.

Looking at the figure of the dragon going away, the villagers all heaved a long sigh of relief.The local villagers of Songshu Village suffered little loss in this incident.Compared with the giant dragons they couldn't afford to offend, they actually hated those foreign refugees who refused to leave.

And most of the refugees who suffered from hardships didn't dare to hold any resentment towards the giant dragon. After all, they didn't even dare to provoke the nobles, let alone the dragon clan that was more terrifying than the nobles.

Lu De, who came back alive, was treated like a hero. Everyone believed that Pine Tree Village was able to survive the difficulties this time, all thanks to Lu De. For the second time, in the eyes of people, he is like a saint who really saves the suffering.

Facing the enthusiastic cheers and praises from the villagers, Lu De showed his humility as always, and attributed the credit to the goddess who has been protecting him all the time, and then said that he was really tired and needed to go back and have a good rest. What should he do tomorrow? Slow down and talk.

So Lude, under the respectful eyes of everyone, was supported by two female disciples and returned to the temple. When the gate was closed, he immediately took off the mask on his face. Immediately afterwards, Aina and Shanisi were surprised See, a small furry head, coming down from Lude's wide robe, stretched out energetically!

End of this chapter

The young dragon poking out from the robe looked left and right, then quickly climbed onto Lude's shoulders and stretched his waist.

The appearance of this little thing stunned the goddesses present. Hume recognized that it was a young dragon, but he couldn't tell what species it was from her black and white coat color.Aina tentatively stretched out her hand to touch it, and the young dragon sniffed her scent, and immediately jumped over happily.

Because she found that this little sister, like Lude, exudes a "delicious" smell, and it is stronger than Lude.

Aina was taken aback by this little guy who suddenly jumped onto her chest and rubbed it back and forth, but soon indulged in the incomparable delicate touch of the other party, and couldn't stop masturbating at all.

"Master, what is this little thing?"

"I told you that you might not believe it. She is a young black dragon, the biological daughter of the big guy outside just now. For some special reasons, she will live with us for a while. Oh right! This little guy has a name, Her name is Connor."

Lude told the whole process of Kangna's birth to several goddesses present, and then asked Hume if she knew about this little guy?

As a result, Hume shook his head, saying that this was the first time he had seen such a creature that needed divine power to grow up.

"It's certain that this little thing is different from my fallen leaves, because the envoy is a half body directly separated from the gods, but this...is it considered a divine beast?"

Several goddesses got together, and while stroking Xiao Kangna, they studied what was going on with her.Lu De saw that the little guy was getting along very happily with the big sisters, so he told them to keep a close eye on Kang Na and not let outsiders find out, then went back to the house by himself, and fell headlong on the long-lost bed.

"Finally I can sleep properly..."

The exhausted Lude slept until noon the next day, and was finally revived with full blood and energy, feeling refreshed.

In fact, Lude has long discovered that since he became a priest, with the continuous growth of Aina, his physical fitness seems to have improved a lot. As long as Aina's divine power is not exhausted, he will also be full of energy. And it's also very resilient.

This seems to confirm what Hume told him before, that the gods will also grow, and the characteristics of their own gods will gradually become prominent. For example, Hume's god is a "stealing god", walking silently and having a low sense of existence. The embodiment of the characteristics of the gods, and as the god of medicine, Aina's strong resilience is her characteristic, and this characteristic will also benefit Lude as a priest.

After waking up, Lude was about to get some food. At this time, he heard that there seemed to be movement in the backyard, so he put on a mask and went out. As a result, he saw a very shocking scene. He saw the open space in the backyard of the temple. There are four giant wild boars.

Lu De knew who did it without asking.

"When did it arrive?"

"Early this morning, there was actually quite a lot of commotion, but you slept so deeply that you didn't wake up."

Hume shrugged at Lude. Ned Hogg came early in the morning and put the pigs down in the backyard of the temple. He turned around and left without saying a word.This scene was seen by many villagers, which naturally caused some gossip, but they were mostly flattering, and everyone thought it was a thank you gift from the dragon.

Hume joked to Rudd about this.

"Many people in the village think that you will definitely trick that dragon into teaching."

"Will you be able to talk? What is fooling!"

Annoyed like Hume, Lude turned his head to look at the four big fat pigs in the yard.Nieder Hogg knew that his daughter was not interested in meat, and with her current size, no matter how much she could eat, these four pigs weighed less than two tons, which was really too much.

So Lude thinks that these four pigs should be given to those refugees by Ned Hogg. That guy said before that if possible, he hopes to give some compensation to those innocent villagers. So many pigs are just a solution. The current urgent need for food shortages.

Lu De reckoned that the weather is cold in winter now, and the pork should not go bad for a while.It would be easy to cause trouble if they were distributed directly to the refugees and the villagers in the village, so they should be handled by the temple in a unified manner and distributed daily as disaster relief food.

So Lude called the village chief Rom, and Hamilton and others who were still in the village, and told them about his disaster relief plan.

After traveling for more than a year, Lu De has already figured out the peeing nature of the low-level gangsters in this world.Most of these people are ignorant, suspicious and timid.If you give them benefits in vain, they may not be grateful. Only by giving them kindness and power can you gain their respect from the bottom of their hearts.

Therefore, Lude's disaster relief food cannot be given in vain, or at least it does not seem to be in vain.He first asked the village to count the number of refugees and stored food, calculate the total daily consumption, and then drew up two contracts on the spot.

One is a labor contract between the refugees and the temple. Lude promises to provide relief food for the refugees to help them survive this winter and the next year's farming season, but the refugees have to be tenants of the temple for three years, and Lude has the right to recruit them Participate in designated labor.

The other agreement was between the temple and the aborigines of Songshu Village. They exchanged more than 1000 catties of meat from two wild boars in exchange for grain and potatoes four times their weight.

In addition, Knight Jaegan also promised to Lude that he would find a way to ask the earl to transfer a batch of relief food to the border. If the earl did not give it, he would buy it out of his own pocket, and he would definitely help these refugees tide over the difficulties.

So the news was quickly sent out. When the refugees heard that the temple would give them relief food, the price was to sign a contract and become a tenant for three years. Except for a small number of people whose family conditions were not too bad, the remaining 2000 people signed and pledged without hesitation, and sold themselves to Lude's temple.

Lu De would not be ambiguous, and directly set up a large pot at the gate of the temple to boil water and stew broth. Many people couldn't help showing a very intoxicated expression and swallowing saliva frequently just by smelling the smell of meat.

For the sake of safety and health, Lu De asked Hume to cut the pork, cut the meat as small and thin as possible, so that it could be cooked completely, and even in pursuit of high-temperature sterilization effect, he specially called Hamilton to heat it with fire magic.

Hamilton's generation of fire saints never imagined that someone would dare to order him to cook soup with magic. The key is that he really did it.

To be honest, this pot of broth is actually not very delicious because of the lack of seasoning, and the wild pork is very hard, and there is a smell that can't be suppressed at all.But even so, meat is still meat!The group of refugees who ate were so grateful to Lu De that they wanted to eat their bowls!

End of this chapter

Relying on the boar meat sent by Nid Hogg, Lude quickly stabilized the situation in the village and calmed down the restless people.And the temple now has two thousand tenants all of a sudden, with so many labors waiting to be dispatched, so many things that were originally unconditional can be done all at once.

Lu De first conducted a census and collected information on the more than 2000 refugees.The final data shows that there are a total of 2314 refugees from 462 households who are willing to stay, and half of them are adults with full working ability. More than [-]% are farmers, but there are also a few skilled workers such as carpenters and bricklayers. There are even three pharmacists.

And the first job Lude arranged for these people was to build the houses they wanted to live in.

Thanks to the fact that the snow on the ground is not even waist deep, and there is a large pine forest a few hundred meters to the north of Pine Tree Village, Lu De first organized the refugees to clear the snow to open the way, and then cut down trees nearby to build houses.

In order not to affect the original villagers, the new village of the refugees was located on the north side of the temple on the other side of the river. That is to say, the old and new villages now sandwich the temple in the middle, becoming the central building of the village.

Although Lude has never studied geotechnical engineering, he still has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Therefore, he asked the refugees to build a batch of long houses and make them collective apartments, trying to make everyone live in them as quickly as possible. In a house with a roof.Right now, this is just the beginning of winter, and it is far from the lowest temperature, and many of the refugees have already fallen ill.

In Lude's plan, Pine Tree Village will soon be upgraded to a town, and schools, hospitals, and at least four public bathrooms will be built, and the hygiene habits that the old villagers have developed will also be promoted among the new residents.

Everything was proceeding step by step, and the only problem was Nied Hogg's side.This guy sent four big wild boars over on the first day his daughter came back with Lude. Lude thought that was all, but there were four more the next day. The ground is full of dead pigs.

In the end, Lude couldn't take it anymore, and stayed up all night. When Ned Hogg sent wild boars over, he ran out and stopped him. Please don't send them so frequently. There are really too many wild boars to eat. It's not over!

Looking at the pigs placed all over the ground in the courtyard of the temple, Ned Hogg also felt that he had indeed given away too much, so he said that he would give away once every ten days in the future, and left a piece of his own black scale for Luther, If you need to find him in the future, put the dragon scale on the fire and burn it, and he will rush over.

In the next few days, Ned Hogg did not come, but Hamilton, who had been secretly observing for many days, found Lude and asked if there was any agreement between him and the black dragon?

The old magician adhered to the principle of "people who are not of my race must have a different heart", and worried whether the black dragon had other plans, because he had seen similar situations in other places.Human villages and some powerful monsters maintain a peaceful coexistence on the surface. The monsters even send things to the village from time to time, or protect the villagers from the attacks of bandits and robbers, but they secretly ask the villagers to worship living creatures. People make sacrifices.

These monsters are generally referred to as "demons". Once they are discovered, all decent people and mainstream sects will take the initiative to attack them.

Facing Hamilton's questioning, Lude thought for a while, and felt that it might be difficult to hide some things from the old guy.But fortunately, Hamilton was simply grumpy, but not stupid at all.In fact, if they hadn't met Ned Hogg, an outlier in the dragon clan, their egg stealing operation could have been successful.

So in front of Hamilton, Lu De yelled "Konna" into the back room, and the little black and white dragon flew out immediately.When the old magician saw the young dragon, he was stunned on the spot.

"This, this is..."

"It's Nid Hogg's daughter. The little guy has some health problems, so he lives here temporarily for treatment. The pigs in the backyard are actually sent by her own father for the consultation fees."

"This is your direct transaction?"

"Let's put it this way! Ned Hogg is a giant dragon who was raised by humans, so he has no ill feeling towards humans. I saved his wife and daughter to strengthen the relationship between neighbors. The dragon clan is so strong, since we can be friends, Why do you have to be an enemy? Don’t you think so?”

Lude looked at Hamilton with a smile, and the meaning in his words was very clear, asking him to think about the pros and cons before considering the next move.

You must know that behind the young dragon Kangna is a dragon family with two parents, and if there is no accident, this family will develop into a large-scale black dragon family in the future.Therefore, if anyone can't think about it, if he wants to have a crooked mind about the young dragon Kangna, it's like stabbing the dragon's nest!

Of course Hamilton understood what Lu De meant. The existence of the young dragon must be kept strictly confidential, even his nephew who was the king could not tell.

Thinking of this, Hamilton sighed, then suddenly stared at the young dragon lying on Lude's head and asked.

"Can I see this little guy?"

"cannot!"

"No, I just..."

"Don't even think about it!"

Not giving Hamilton any chance at all, Lude refused very simply and resolutely.He knew very well that this old thing wanted to get close to Kang Na, it was definitely not as simple as simply wanting to touch the fluff on her body.

Because he already believed that Lu De was a master at the same level as himself, coupled with guilt and admiration, Hamilton had no choice but to give up.

The old magician finally chose to believe in Lude. He has met many people in his life, good and bad, of all races, but he has never seen such a good old man like Lude.He seems to come from another world, and he often inadvertently exudes a temperament that is completely different from the mortals around him.

Sometimes Hamilton even thought that if all the priests in this world could be like Lude, even if they could only reach half the level, the world would never be such a cruel scene.

"Forget it! Those foolish people are following you, life should not be too bad, and you have come back safely, so I can feel at ease."

"Oh! Sounds like you're leaving?"

"Things are messed up, why don't you stay here if you don't leave? Don't worry, I will go to the earl and the king and talk to them. These two juniors are not stupid, and they won't do some stupid things without thinking. Old man The only gain from this trip is probably that the old problem has been cured, and I also know you as a friend."

As the old magician said, Lu De solemnly made a mage salute with his hands sealed together, and Lu De returned the priest's salute when he saw this.

"What are your plans next? Go back to the Mage Tower?"

"Let's go to the west first. My apprentice is still alive. He just received a distress letter sent by his familiar, saying that he is hiding in a ravine and can't get out. You stupid thing, why can't you do it! "

Seeing that Hamilton kept scolding, but he was ready to rush to the rescue as soon as possible after receiving the apprentice's call for help, Lude smiled, and then gave him some special ointment.

In this way, Hamilton left Pine Tree Village that day, along with several surviving Silver Wing Knights including Jie Gang.

Watching the group go away on the white snow, Lude returned to his temple.Counting the days, it has been less than a year since he came to Songshu Village. The dilapidated and leaky temple has now been renovated, and the villagers have changed from suspicion and suspicion at the beginning to trust and reverence now.

By the end of winter, Lude and his sect are bound to usher in a new beginning!

(End of Volume [-])

End of this chapter

The cold and snow will not last, winter...will end!

For Songshu Village, this is the fourth winter in which more than 400 people from the village have come to the border, and it is also an extraordinary winter.They have experienced a lot, and some things are even more unforgettable.

Unknowingly, at the beginning of March, the last heavy snowfall was nearly 30 days ago. The temperature outside the house is obviously rising, the days are getting longer and longer, and the snow is getting less and less.

In previous years, winter was always a season full of various difficulties for the poor people at the bottom.In a bad year, maybe one winter can directly halve the population of the entire village.

So the villagers are rejoicing, no matter the old residents or the former refugees who were forced to take refuge here, everyone is thanking the goddess of mercy and her agent. They have experienced all the suffering and hard work this winter, and now it seems is worth it!

"Spring! It's finally over!"

In the study of the temple, Lude, who was sorting out the ledger, looked up at the window that had only been fully opened after several months. The breeze blowing in was cold and humid, but it was far from being bone-chilling cold. Months, can fully return to above zero.

If the whole winter starts from the first snow, it has lasted for nearly four months so far. Recalling everything that happened during this period, Lu De pondered for a long time, and finally he could only conclude with "it's not easy".

Counting the old residents before winter, the current population of Pine Tree Village has exceeded 3000 people. Most of them are refugees who escaped during the dragon attack. Later, some came here sporadically. the present scale.

At the moment when Ximu Town was destroyed, it was already the most populous settlement on the northern border of the Kingdom!

Before this, Lude had never tried to manage a village with thousands of people, but fortunately, "in the name of God" was always against the odds, no matter old or new villagers dared to disobey his orders, and Ned Hogg from time to time Sending meat to the village greatly relieved the food pressure, which allowed them to survive this winter very safely. Only a dozen people died. Everyone thought this was an incredible miracle!

After a winter of slow construction, the area of ​​Songshu Village has now expanded nearly five times.Lu De did not intend to let the new villagers live in the longhouses with poor conditions, so in the second half of winter, he organized people to start planning the site selection and land division of the new village.

Unlike the old village, which was built almost randomly, the new village has planned the location of several main roads from the beginning, and then divided the roads into various districts with different functions. Residential districts, commercial districts and production districts are all available. What is clear is to create a fully functioning town.

And when all the households have moved to independent wooden houses, the original longhouse Lude does not intend to waste it, and plans to transform it into a school, hospital and warehouse.
