Time flies, three days have passed since the buffer zone battle, and the castle has returned to its former calm state.
The guards began rigorous training again. Now the guards' training no longer needs to be supervised by Nalant, because Vivian and Quick have learned the training methods from Nalant.
Narant himself spent more time cultivating fighting spirit, because through the battle with Dili, Narant deeply felt the impact of level on combat power.
With the absorption of the Flame Crystal, his cultivation became faster than ever before.
…
In the early morning, at the northern edge of the Storm Territory bordering the Tulip Territory, a team of thirty or forty people was heading deeper into the Storm Territory.
There were no carriages or weapons in this group. They were all civilians or serfs carrying large and small baskets.
They are the people from the Black Rock Territory.
Ever since they bought low-priced salt and dried fish last time, the citizens of the Black Rock Territory have been obsessed with it.
Many people have also listened to Thomas's suggestion and have been preparing for it for a long time these days.
Although the Land of Doom is indeed dangerous, in the face of huge benefits, people are still willing to take the risk and give it a try.
As we go deeper and deeper into the land of doom, people become more and more vigilant, as if dark creatures may rush out of the woods on both sides of the road at any time.
This is not because they are timid, but because the reputation of the Land of Doom is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Fortunately, the journey was uneventful. After more than an hour of trekking, everyone finally saw a castle standing on a cliff in the distance.
"We are finally here! I have heard that as long as you see the castle and continue forward for more than ten minutes, you can see the largest village in the Land of Doom!" A young man of 17 or 18 years old said excitedly in front of the team.
"Shh! Keep your voice down, Kerr. There is a lord here now, and he will definitely not be happy for us to call this place the land of doom. It should be called the Storm Territory!" At this moment, a young man named Kerr walked past behind him.
A middle-aged man scolded him sternly.
"If the lord finds out about it then, even if the lord doesn't punish you but doesn't sell us salt, then this trip will be in vain!"
"Oh! Uncle Laurie, I know!"
Hearing the scolding, Kerr immediately shrank his neck.
"Everyone, hurry up. When we arrive at the village, buy some salt and leave immediately!" The middle-aged man was satisfied with this, and then greeted the team behind him.
Soon, the group speeded up, crossed the dirt road outside the castle, and arrived at the entrance of Maiye Village.
But after arriving at the entrance of Maiye Village, everyone was stunned.
"Uncle Laurie, isn't this street too neat?"
Standing outside Maiye Village, everyone was in disbelief. They had never seen such a clean street.
There is no feces or garbage on the streets, and there is no unpleasant smell that we are used to.
"We are just here to buy salt. Why do you care so much? Let's go in and take a look!"
Although it was early in the morning, there were already many early risers walking on the road ahead.
Laurie led everyone along and suddenly saw an even more surprising scene. He saw a large group of Maiye Village villagers lining up in front of a stone house, as if there was something to receive in the stone house.
"Uncle Laurie, is that a place that sells breakfast? I didn't eat anything when I got up today, why don't we go over and have a look?"
They had prepared dry food, but after entering the Storm Territory in the morning, they did not dare to stay longer to light a fire and prepare dry food, so they did not eat breakfast.
Now that he saw so many people queuing up here, he thought he had encountered some delicious food.
"Okay, then go over and take a look, and ask where you need to buy salt!" Laurie didn't object. It was their first time here and they didn't know who they needed to go to to buy salt.
Kerr was extremely happy after hearing this. He took out a few coins and ran quickly towards the stone house.
When he ran to the stone house, Ker didn't dare to cause trouble and lined up honestly.
Because there were many people in front of him, Kerr planned to take advantage of this time to inquire about salt.
He reached out and gently patted the shoulder of the person in front of him. In front of him was a middle-aged man. After being patted, he turned his head to look at him in confusion.
Kerr knew that he needed to get close to ask questions first, so he said with a smile: "Uncle, come and have breakfast! Is this breakfast delicious? There are so many people waiting for it?"
"..." The uncle didn't answer, his expression changed for a while, and finally he rolled his eyes and left the team.
Facing his uncle's reaction, Kerr felt that the people here seemed unfriendly, well, at least that's what Kerr thought.
He felt that his tone was friendly enough, but instead of answering him, the uncle in front of him gave him a blank look.
"Why are the people in the Land of Doom so unfriendly?" Kerr couldn't help scratching his head, but what Uncle Laurie told him must be completed, so he looked at the person in front of him again. This should be a young man.
.
So, Kerr patted the young man on the shoulder again. When he turned around, Kerr was still smiling: "Brother, what kind of breakfast is there? There are so many people queuing up, I'm a little hungry!"
"..." The young man had a strange look in his eyes, looked at Kerr up and down, and finally walked away silently, but before walking away, he cast a pity look and muttered, "How pitiful!"
"..." Kerr blinked innocently, thinking how pitiful I was, I just said I was hungry!
Kerr was a little unwilling to give up, and looked at the old man in front of him again, "The old man should have a better temper, and he will definitely answer my questions!"
Kerr raised his hand and patted the old man on the shoulder.
"Grandpa, I want to ask..."
"Young man, are you in a hurry? Then you go first! I'll wait!" However, this time, before Kerr could ask, the old man immediately gave up his position.
Kerr was moved when he heard this. Just when he was about to explain that he was not in a hurry, the old man continued: "Okay, young man, someone is coming out in front. You go in first! There are people waiting behind you!" After saying that, the old man pushed gently.
Tikker.
Kerr had no choice but to say thank you, and in the end he could only walk towards the stone house. He could ask the breakfast shop owner inside about the salt later.
"That kid Kerr is really good at it. He was at the front of the queue in no time!" The queue in the distance couldn't help but praise when they saw Kerr walking into the 'breakfast shop' so quickly.
"You better not go too far, kid. I think the two villagers just left. If you accidentally offend someone, this is their territory!" Laurie couldn't help but smile and shook his head. Seeing the two villagers just now,
He was not angry, so he felt relieved.
"Hey! Kerr is out! There seems to be something wrong with his expression!" Just as Laurie finished speaking, everyone suddenly saw Kerr walking out of the stone house. The look on his face was worse than losing ten copper coins.
Ugly.
"Did he not bring any money? No, I just saw him take it out just now!" Several people immediately curiously guessed the reason.
Soon, Kerr returned to the front of the team.
"Kerr, what's going on? Didn't you buy breakfast?" Laurie thought something had happened and immediately asked with concern.
"This...that..." Kerr's face suddenly turned blue and white, and he didn't know how to explain it.
He had just happily stepped into the stone house and wanted to buy breakfast. But the moment he stepped into the stone house, he knew something was wrong because the taste was wrong...
Needless to say what happened next, Kerr was so breathless that he fainted on the spot, so he turned around and ran out as if he was running away.
At this moment, he finally understood why the uncle and young man in front of him looked at him with such strange eyes...
"Uncle Laurie...there...that's the toilet!" He hesitated for a long time. Seeing everyone's curiosity, Kerr had no choice but to confess.
"Toilet? What is a toilet? I've never heard of it!" Everyone was confused.
"It's XXX's place!" Kerr said.
"..." Black lines appeared on everyone's heads.
"Ha ha!"
"Ha ha!"
"Hahaha!"
After being speechless, he turned into a hearty laugh, which continued until Kerr was ashamed of himself.
"Kerr, are you telling the truth? Such a brand-new stone house actually has this function?" Laurie was still a little unbelievable. Seeing that almost all the houses in this village were made of wooden planks and thatched houses, only this large one was a stone house, and
It's still brand new, how could it be used for such a despicable thing.
"Really, Uncle Laurie!" Kerr was on the verge of tears. He had been treated as a fool just now, and he actually asked what was so delicious in the house...
"No wonder the streets here are so neat...it turns out to be this reason!" Laurie sighed. He was already in his forties and had traveled to many aristocratic territories, but he had never seen such an incredible thing.
