115 The Vicious Red Priest
A oil lamp, two men, one old and one strong.●⌒,
If you are a lonely man and a widow in such a quiet and beautiful night, you can be ambiguously relaxed about the romantic affairs, but now you are two men, so you can only talk about boring things. Everyone knows that what men can talk about together is nothing more than politics, women, and money.
The old village chief is very old, so half of his body has been buried in the soil, so it is impossible to talk about women. The Reed family is a declining rural aristocrat, so it is impossible to talk about money. Therefore, the two of them can only talk about politics, real rural politics now.
"Grandma Beta, I don't understand why you have to build the road first." The old village chief said calmly: "I don't think this is a good practice. Even if the road is built, no one will come to a small village like our Reed Village."
Liang Lidong was stunned for a moment, then asked back: "What do you think you should do if you are the old village chief?"
The old village chief said proudly: "Based on my experience of living for decades, first of all, what we need in Reed Village is people. To develop Reed Village, we must have enough personnel. If it were me, I would take gold coins to go to Sigri City in the south, buy hundreds of slaves, and then let them reclaim the fields around Reed Village. As long as there is food and land, we can attract more people to live in our Reed Village. Over time, we will have enough population and become a small town."
In the game, this method is indeed a safe method that most nobles will use. Although it takes effect slowly, it has a great advantage, saving money.
It cost not much to buy a hundred slaves. If these slaves are allowed to reclaim fertile land, they can only give the minimum food, and there is no need to pay wages.
Liang Lidong looked at the old village chief who looked quite proud and asked, "Since you already have a plan, why didn't you implement it? You can't buy a hundred slaves, but you can't use twenty gold coins. It doesn't cost much to reclaim fertile land. The slaves don't need much living expenses. It's logical that there is no problem with the Reed family to bear these funds, but why haven't you implemented your own plan? If you started this plan on the day you became a village, or you are now the mayor."
The pride on the old village chief's face disappeared, his face turned long and long.
Liang Lidong sighed: "I won't talk about which of the two development methods is better. But at least I have something more real than you. I will implement it when I have a plan, and you are just a fantasy. Even if my plan is not as good as you, I did things and you didn't. So I am better than you."
The old village chief blushed and looked ugly, as if he had been constipated for more than ten days, but he could not get out even if he squatted on the pit.
This is not that Liang Lidong does not respect the elderly, but that he does not want his plan to be affected. The old village chief actually wants to take this opportunity to work in the process of developing the village. Liang Lidong is not interested in power, but to develop the Wojin Goddess Cult, he must have enough people of faith, but even if the people in all the villages around Reed Village are added up, it is less than a thousand.
Therefore, building Reed Village within a few years was a top priority. Liang Lidong did not allow his plan to make mistakes. The old village chief turned a corner and wanted to get some power from him, but in order not to make the plan go wrong, he strongly rejected the old man.
The oil lamp is placed in the middle of the table, and the dark yellow lantern seedlings occasionally shake. From time to time, flying insects hit the flames, making a squeak and falling into the lamp oil.
The awkward atmosphere made the old man feel a little silent. After a while, Liang Lidong suddenly said: "You don't have to worry about the development of Reed Village. When I get on the right track, I will return the position to Kyle as I promised. I have experience in developing the territory, at least more than you, so you don't have to be afraid that I will take Reed Village to the brink of destruction. Even if I don't succeed, it will not be worse than now."
The old village chief still didn't say anything. He knew that he had not had much time, but as a nobleman, his instinct to like to incorporate power would not change. It was a pity that the young man in front of him was very old. He was not only a good person, but also a good person in these twists and turns. He just said something, and the other party knew what he was making and blocked it in one go, which made him feel very uncomfortable and unwilling to accept it. If he had the same keen intuition and ability as the other party, the Reed family would have risen a long time ago.
The flames jumping on the table burned another flying insect that was alive and ignorant. Both sides were silent. Liang Lidong thought he had given the bottom line, and it didn't matter whether the other party accepted it or not. It didn't matter if Old Reed disagreed. Reed was still under the jurisdiction of Dongfeng City. If Uther was asked to divide Reed village into his own name, things could continue. At most, it might make Kyle a little unhappy, but as long as he explained it carefully, he should be able to understand it.
After all, Kyle is a good boy and a good student.
"Everything in the world needs strength to fight for and protect." The old village chief finally spoke leisurely after a while, and his voice became more and more vicissitudes and powerless: "This is the family motto left by the ancestors of the brave. It's just a pity that there has never been anyone who can inherit the blood of the brave again since our Reed family. Until now, but Kyle seems to have some hope."
In the old village chief's words, Liang Lidong didn't care. He nodded: "Kyle's talent is indeed amazing. He doesn't look very smart, but he learns things very quickly. And he also has dark vision. Old village chief, do you know what race the bloodline of your family inherits?"
"If I had known, I would have been a mercenary long ago. When I was young, like Kyle, I had dreamed of becoming a mercenary, but it was a pity..."
The old man didn't finish his words, but everyone understood the meaning. He stood up, picked up the oil lamp, and walked outward, saying, "When people get old, they can't stay up late. I'll go back first. If there is anything, let's wait until dawn tomorrow."
Liang Lidong sat without moving. He looked at the wall covered by yellow mud and said, "The blood magic of the Reed family is sealed here. I got it up. You don't want to talk to me about blood. I'm afraid that I have any evil intentions towards your Reed family. This is normal. But I want to tell you one thing, Kyle's blood is not fully activated, and he cannot learn the blood magic here unless it is activated with some special items. If your Reed family inherits such things, use it as soon as possible. The earlier the blood is activated, the greater the future growth."
The old village chief paused: "We don't have that kind of thing at home."
After saying that, he left.
Because the oil lamp was taken away, the cave suddenly became invisible, but Liang Lidong didn't care. Under Yunlong's vision, there was no difference between day and night. He continued to sit, as if he was thinking about something.
As the night became quieter around, only the faint sound of insects came in from outside.
About an hour later, he stood up and left the cave.
At about five o'clock the next morning, Aturun came to knock on the temple door. He took fifteen silver coins from Liang Lidong, led more than a dozen children to another village to purchase grain. Suha came over and took six silver coins. This was the laborer's wages today. Kyle took seven teenagers, carrying wooden sticks and wooden swords, and left the village entrance and patrolled outside. Joan of Arc circled over their heads.
Belin and a group of women have already set up several large pots in the empty mines in the village and boiled boiling water. As soon as the noodle grain arrives, they can make several pots of batter for the workers' breakfast today in a short time.
The whole village started to move. Almost everyone had something to do, except for the elderly who were really unable to walk or the disabled who were disabled with mobility.
Liang Lidong handed the matter to his four students with confidence, and he went to the back of the temple to practice the "Mist-Driving" magic. At the same time, he analyzed the magic power running nodes of this magic. It is different from most magic. The running route of bloodline magic lacks many nodes. These nodes will only be supplemented if cast by a specific bloodline holder. Generally speaking, it is almost impossible to use mental power to detect how these points are filled in the magic operation.
Liang Lidong also had no way to detect the filling principle of key nodes. However, this did not prevent him from testing. If he could not directly observe with mental power, there were methods of elimination, reverse reasoning, etc. If he didn't work once, then he would do it a few times or a few times, he would do it a few hundred times.
In the eyes of players, there is no unsolvable puzzle in this world. It only depends on whether your ability has reached or if you use the right method.
Liang Lidong had a feeling that as long as he cracked the 'Yunlong-type bloodline magic', he would definitely open a renovated magic door. This is something no one can do in the game.
He practiced the magic of fog driving for a morning behind the temple, and did not stop until his mental power was almost exhausted. He returned to the temple, took a shower, washed away his sweat, and then made some side dishes for himself to eat. After filling his stomach, he opened the management interface of "Internal Affairs" and carefully inspected the current situation in Reed village. Except for the rise of the people's hearts and turned into 62 points, there was no change.
It is a good thing that there is no change! Liang Lidong turned off the system interface and was about to take a break for half an hour, when the sound of horse hooves came from the temple. Soon the sound of horse hooves stopped. Liang Lidong went to the prayer hall and found a woman covered in black clothes and even her face was standing there.
Not long after, Kyle and other friends rushed over with sweat. They surrounded the woman in black in fan shape separately.
"What's going on?"
Liang Lidong killed many players and "npc" in the game, and in reality, many people were killed. With such a calm face, the sense of majesty spread over like substantial mental pressure, and the boys immediately trembled like a chill. Even the woman in black had a look of shock in her eyes.
Kyle and Mu Jian pointed at the woman in black, and then explained to Liang Lidong: "Teacher, this woman rushed over along the way without any scruples, and injured several people in our village. Although it was not a big injury, she could not do heavy work for at least several days."
Liang Lidong's face remained unchanged, but his voice became a little heavier: "Oh, that's the case. This black guest, you'd better explain. If you are willing to pay enough compensation and apologize to the injured, I can send you out of the village politely, otherwise I don't mind punishing you, even if you are from the Zeer family."
The woman in black was carrying a spear behind her back. When she heard Liang Lidong's words, she sneered: "Since you know that I am from the Zeer family, you dare to threaten me, aren't you afraid that my father will come to cause trouble for you?"
This woman's voice sounds nice, and it's crisp and crisp like a yellow oriole singing. I think she shouldn't be old.
Liang Lidong smiled: "So you are Greenton's daughter. That's great. You don't need to pay the compensation."
The woman sneered, her tone full of disdain.
"But I want to educate you on your father." Liang Lidong said slowly: "Kyle, go deal with her and beat her up, but don't hurt her. When she is convinced, you lead her to the back hall to find me."
After saying that, he turned around and went to the back hall, put on his clothes and went to bed to rest. He could see that Kyle's strength should be similar to that of this woman in black, that is, Glinton's daughter, but it was slightly better. It was not difficult to defeat this woman, but it would take some time to defeat her. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kyle can accumulate practical experience. After all, an opponent with similar strength is rare.
After going to bed, Liang Lidong fell asleep quickly. He woke up about half an hour later. As soon as he stretched, Kyle led a beautiful girl in.
At this time, the woman in black had already taken off her hood and the black veil on her face was also taken off, revealing her pretty face that looked extremely cold but beautiful. She was a girl with long ears, clear green high ponytail long hair, and under her bangs with eyebrows, there were green eyes that looked like water.
This girl is very beautiful, but she looks proud. Only when she looks at Kyle, her eyes will soften, and she seems to have been convinced by Kyle.
Liang Lidong waved his hand and said to the sweat-covered boy: "Kyle, take people to continue patrolling to ensure the safety of construction workers and prevent conflicts and troubles at the scene."
Kyle nodded happily, then turned around and left. There was such a beautiful woman beside him, and he didn't take a look at her at all.
But when the half-elf girl saw Kyle leave, she turned her head and pursed her cute cherry mouth, with complex emotions in her eyes.
"What's your name?" Liang Lidong asked her.
The half-elf girl glared at her eyes and said with a fierce expression: "Why should I tell you!"
Liang Lidong stood up with a charming smile on his face: "It doesn't matter if you don't say it. My students can beat you up and make you obedient. I can beat you up, and I promise to do it heavier than him. If you don't cooperate properly, I don't mind swelling your face."
The half-elf girl was shocked, and then scared: "Why are you so vicious!" (To be continued.)
