Chapter 553 542. Back to the village
Every autumn is also the busiest season in Hailansa City.
The acorns in the mountain forest are almost ripe, and at this time, buyers from all over the world will gather in Hailansa City. They come here for only one purpose, that is, the golden and silver acorns all over the mountains and plains. These acorns are A favorite fuel for nobles.
In winter, just throw these acorns into the fireplace. When the acorns are burning, the whole room will have a faint fragrance of trees.
When Suldak walked down the airport pier, there were boxes of acorns piled up on the large open space of the airport pier. These acorns were all ready to be transported to other places by magic airship. up.
After receiving the reins handed over by the crew of the airship, Suldak led Gu Bolai out of the airport town, feeling the warm afternoon sun.
This time when Suldak returned to Hailansa City, the biggest change he felt was that the White Elephant Trading Company and the underground trading market were closed. The huge White Elephant Trading Company seemed to disappear overnight. All that remains is an empty circular building.
Suldak thought of the Dale magician who had always taken great care of him. After many inquiries, he did not find any information about him. Even the investigation files of the guard battalion only vaguely stated that he had been with The old rebel army had some connections. His younger brother was a senior member of the rebel army. It is said that he died many years ago when Duchess Jingyue put down the rebellion.
The next day, Suldak canceled his vacation with Captain Sauron, and rode back to Wall Village.
When we reached the Paglos Pass, the wooden crosses were still erected on the top of the mountain, but a large wooden frame was erected on the side of the pass, which looked like some kind of building was going to be built, and some carriages kept unloading volcanic ash.
When Suldak came to the mountain pass, he found that there were two wooden frames built. The concrete buildings inside the two wooden frames had begun to take shape. It was clearly two archery towers located on both sides of the mountain pass. A group of bricklayers from the village squatted On the wooden frame, these two archery towers were piled up continuously.
A group of guard battalion knights sat in the arbor next to it, and the passing villagers, caravans, and adventure groups all went to the arbor for routine inspections.
The villagers of Wall Village standing on the top of the wooden frame saw Suerdak coming on horseback from a distance, stood up and waved at Suerdak continuously, and shouted loudly: "Suldak is back..."
I don't know when, Suldak's status in Wall Village has surpassed the village chief Bright. When he came to the mountain pass, the craftsmen of Wall Village greeted him one after another, and then the guards on duty at the Pagros Mountain Pass Battalion knights, these guard battalion knights are all from the support squadron, and they usually have a close relationship with Suldak.
Surdak rode a horse to the side of the awning, and while responding to the knight who greeted him, he asked, "Why are there two arrow towers built here?"
"Not only that, an arch will be built here in the future. This gate can be regarded as completely separating the outside of Paglos Pass from the suburbs of High Lansa City. This can be regarded as an additional barrier outside High Lansa City." The captain of the second squadron of the support squadron came out and explained to Surdak.
"It is necessary to set up the guards of the Arrow Tower who are on duty here all the year round?" Suldak frowned. The addition of manpower to the city defense department will only add an extra burden to the residents of Hailansa City.
The captain of the second team cried bitterly: "There is no way! Who made the rebel army so rampant recently, someone must watch them! And the construction of this arrow tower will not send many more people. The current situation is completely Contain the three squadrons of our support squadron here, and the temporary checkpoint on the Arrow Tower will be cancelled!"
After staying at Pagros Pass for a short while, Suldak rode back to Wall Village.
The dead tree at the entrance of Wall Village still bears the sign of Wall Village, but there are many small merchants and hawkers gathered in the open space outside the village entrance. It seems that a small market has formed here. A month ago, this market just took shape. Unexpectedly Now the scale has been issued.
A group of members of the adventure group were bargaining around a stall, and the sound was heard far away.
Suldak took his horse and walked around the small market at the entrance of the village. In addition to food, groceries, and magic scrolls, there were also craftsmen who maintained leather goods and repaired ironware in this small market. Unfortunately, due to the scarcity of magic herbs, magic potions were still available. It is because the supply exceeds the demand, and it will never appear in such a small market.
Some adventure groups will camp and set up tents outside the village, and some adventure groups will rent the outermost row houses of the village. The rent of the row houses here is not expensive, and they are also sheltered from the wind and rain. The wooden bed and wooden table are very convenient to use, just like a homestay in the village.
The camp of the kobold slaves was moved to a row of houses near the mouth of the river, which was relatively remote, so that no one would be able to accept that they lived in the same row of houses with the kobold slaves.
After entering the village, the small townhouses in the village have also been built to the end one after another. Only three small townhouses need to be capped with herringbone frames. The other small townhouses have basically been handed over to the villagers of Wall Village. Bricklayers have begun to re-pave the roads in the village. All the roads connecting the villages are paved with volcanic ash cement, and there are drainage ditches on both sides of the road.
Looking from the entrance of the village to the valley, these small townhouses are like a row of neat stairs, arranged row upon row on the hillside.
There are still five big pots set up on the square in the village. In the big iron pot, porridge and stewed vegetables are boiled. On the other iron plate, there are two village women who are constantly making scones. They are preparing dinner. After it became a small market, the children in the village could only play in the square in the village. Old Sheila and a group of old people sat under the tree to enjoy the coolness. Little Peter mixed with a group of children, sweating profusely from running in the sun.
Signa squatted at the door of the children's home, looking enviously at the children who kept running hard.
She was the first to discover Suldak who had returned on horseback, standing on a stone at the door and waving at him vigorously.
Then there were children playing in the village square, and little Peter was among them. When he saw Suldak, he rushed towards him.
Suldak jumped off the horse, picked up the little Peter who rushed over, and lifted him high, causing little Peter to 'giggle' non-stop.
Suldak held little Peter in one hand, and led the horse in the other hand, and came to old Sheila to say hello to old Sheila.
Old Sheila just nodded with her lips pursed, and said to Little Peter: "Come down quickly, let your father rest for a while, he is tired from the journey..."
