Selena’s new home is on the westernmost side of the second townhouse in the village. The simple lines make the building look a bit square. Each townhouse houses six households. The south side of the building
There is a circle of small yards surrounded by wooden fences. These yards have not been completely cleared yet, and some building materials are piled up randomly.
The main body of the small building is made of limestone and volcanic ash cement. A herringbone frame is erected on the roof. A thick layer of oak boards is laid on the frame. The oak boards are covered with a layer of gray tiles, a terrace, and an attic.
Even the wooden doors and windows exude a light and fresh smell.
The townhouses are divided into two floors, with a small attic and terrace on the top floor. In order to save time, the bricklayers who built these townhouses tried to remove unnecessary repeated decorations as much as possible when building these townhouses.
From a distance, the three small buildings look a bit monotonous, uniform and lacking in beauty.
But this is nothing to the villagers of Wall Village.
They will soon get out of the thatched hut and live in a solid stone house made of cement. From then on, they no longer need to worry about the roof collapsing when a snowstorm comes, nor do they need to worry about heavy rain outside the house and light rain inside the house when the storm hits.
Their hearts were full of expectations for their new home, and their faces were filled with joy.
Sometimes I would laugh out loud unconsciously while holding a basin and eating a big pot of rice in the village square.
When the four-wheeled carriage passed the wild lake ten kilometers downstream of the river bend, they would run to the lake to pick up some beautiful pebbles and bring them back.
After returning to the village, these cobblestones will be laid on the corridor of the small townhouse before it gets completely dark, the gaps in the cobblestones will be filled with volcanic ash cement, and then the road will be washed with water until the smooth, rounded cobblestones reveal their most beautiful side.
The buildings in Helensa usually have tall, smooth marble columns propped up around the outside of the house. The villagers imitated the style of the nobles in the city and also built a row of cement stone columns around the townhouses, forming a circle.
Outside balcony.
Nobles like to use hollow stone sculptures of ladies to fence their terraces, and villagers also build solid oak railings on their terraces and balconies.
Selena held one corner of the long skirt with one hand. The soft and thin long skirt outlined her two slender and straight thighs on the other side. She stepped up the outer stairs. Signa shook off Selena's hand and rushed forward first.
Go to the stairs, stand on the jogging platform and shout to Selena: "Selena, I want to go to the attic to play for a while..."
It seems that the attic of every house can become a paradise for children. After leaving the thatched house with only one room, Xigna finally had a room of her own. She couldn't wait to run to the attic and put the things in the attic.
The wooden window was pushed open, and he placed his hands on the window sill and looked at the setting sun.
Suldak saw that the rock cracks on the cement stone wall were very smoothly outlined, and the villagers' construction level seemed to be improving very quickly.
With a faint smile on her face, Delina lowered her head and pushed open the door to let Suldak into the living room.
The walls of the brand-new living room are painted with white dust, and the patterned blanket sent by Suldak is hung on the opposite side of the fireplace. The living room looks very empty, except for a wicker chair placed beside the fireplace.
A very old wooden table.
Behind the living room is a small dining room, bathroom and kitchen, and two bedrooms are upstairs.
Selena went into the kitchen to boil water. Suldak leaned against the door frame, folded his hands on his chest, and looked at Selena silently.
When she leaned down, the soft long skirt highlighted her round buttocks. Recently, she had become plumper. Although her waist was still slender, she had a bit more of a young woman's charm.
She tied her long, silky golden hair into a ponytail with a handkerchief and looked at the spacious kitchen with a satisfied expression. The kitchen alone was half the size of the original thatched house, and all the cooking utensils in the kitchen were brand new.
Over the past year, thanks to the man in front of her, her life has undergone earth-shaking changes. Even the matter of preaching the teachings of the Dark Goddess has improved greatly. Those kobold slaves still have a little bit of IQ.
At least I can still understand the stories Selena tells about the blessings of the Dark Goddess.
The green flames in the stove licked the bottom of the kettle. Selena turned around and walked up to Suldak. Her pretty face was like a ripe apple. She stretched out her hand to help Surdak unlock the magic pattern armor of the 'Earth Shield'.
, hung on a wooden frame nearby.
The dinner was very simple. Selena prepared a plate of vegetable salad, chestnut pancakes and some broth.
Higna hurriedly finished her portion and borrowed the magic notes of Cyrus Hickok, the black magician, from Suldak.
Suldak felt that the little girl still had some magic talent. If she could awaken the magic pool and become a magician when she was 12 years old, their life as a mother and daughter would be better in the future.
Seeing Signa running upstairs in a few steps, Selena didn't forget to tell her not to look too late...
…
Wall Village seems very quiet at night. Most of the villagers will go to the village square to eat a big pot of rice. After eating, they will go home in twos and threes. There are basically no entertainment activities at night in the small mountain village. After the villagers go home to wash and wash themselves,
Usually go to bed early.
Soon, the whole village will be enveloped in darkness.
In Wall Village, kerosene lamps and candles are luxuries, so few people are willing to spend money to light them.
Ludwig was sitting outside the adventure group's tent, watching the crooked moon slowly climbing up from the tops of the dead trees. Then he gently exhaled, and even the sound of breathing came from all around.
Opposite him, the members of the adventure group who were on duty all night were dozing off.
He walked around quietly and found that everyone was already asleep. Then he quietly came out of the adventure group's camp, passed the big dead tree at the entrance of the village, and groped his way toward the village along a road in the village. Several birds in the village
The native dog heard the noise, barked a few times, then jumped out of the darkness and rushed towards Ludwig.
He was well prepared. He took out a bag of broken bones with no oil or water in his arms and threw them out. The attention of the local dogs was immediately attracted away. Although the bones had no oil or water, the faint fragrance still attracted several local dogs.
The dog's full attention.
Just as Ludwig was about to pass by these local dogs, he saw footsteps coming from the construction site not far away.
Someone in the village seemed to have heard the noise of the local dogs, and was worried that people from other villages would come to the construction site to steal construction materials, especially the steel bars. Each rod was worth at least two silver coins. A villager crawled out of a shack in his clothes.
When I came out, I walked around the construction site mumbling to myself, and then went to the construction site next to me.
Just when Ludwig was about to pass the construction site while the villagers on duty were leaving, he saw another village woman coming out of the shack. She smoothed her long skirt as she walked, which scared Ludwig and he quickly
Hidden in the shadows at the corner.
Looking at the direction the village woman was walking, he was a little speechless and could only choose to avoid the unfinished construction site.
It’s just that except for the three small townhouses that have been built, there are construction sites full of building materials everywhere in the village. If you want to avoid them all, you can only walk up along the edge of the river.
Fortunately, there are many wheat fields beside the stream. The wheat in the fields has almost reached Ludwig's thighs and has begun to ear.
The flowing stream covered up the sound of his footsteps. Ludwig became a little more courageous. He walked up the stems of the wheat field. He had already explored the path when he entered the village during the day.
, knowing that you will reach the reservoir construction site upstream along the stream.
Before arriving there, you must make a detour in advance.
Otherwise, if your whereabouts are discovered by the craftsmen at the construction site, you won’t be able to escape even if you want to.
Ludwig was just thinking about it in his mind when he heard a sound of "baa baa baa" coming from in front of him, which startled him.
During the day, he didn't see that there was a group of sheep here. With the faint moonlight, he saw that there were some yellow sheep in a wooden fence in front. Listening to the screams of those yellow sheep, the number should be small.
few.
Ludwig wanted to go around the sheepfold, but he didn't want to cross the river to the other side, so he wanted to get closer to the sheepfold to see if there was a way around it.
He emerged from the wheat field and saw that there was indeed a sheepfold in front of him. He leaned against the low wall and peered over there, wondering if any villagers were guarding there...
A huge head suddenly appeared on the other side of the low wall. He stared at Ludwig with his bull's-eyes like copper bells, and his big mouth spurted out a stream of light.
The smell of garlic and the bald head almost scared Ludwig into screaming.
Gulitem was obviously also startled by Ludwig. He just lay down next to the low wall outside the sheepfold and fell asleep. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw someone sticking his head out of the wall and staring face to face.
Hold yourself.
Under the night, the thin man in front of him was wearing tattered linen clothes and didn't even have a few ounces of flesh on his body. Gulitem looked at him with disgust.
Normally, no one in the village dares to approach him, and no one would take the initiative to talk to him. Everyone is a little afraid of him.
Even when coaxing their children, the women in the village would threaten those naughty children and say: Be honest, if you don’t obey again, I will let you and Gulitem go to herd sheep together...
The ogre Gulitum has taken away the only job of the older children in the village, so he is a heinous devil in the eyes of children of all ages.
He is an ogre who is willing to be reasonable. He likes to chat with people when he is bored. He likes the delicacies of the ogre tribe very much...
It's a pity that no one in the village is willing to reason with him, and no children like to listen to his stories, such as the carrot and finger story.
“Who are you? Are you not from the village?”
Gulitom looked at the stranger in front of him alertly and asked.
“Ludwig…”
Ludwig said without thinking. Facing the ogre in front of him, he was worried that if he hesitated for a moment, he would be eaten by him.
Gulitem believed that the outsider in front of him was telling the truth. The reason for judging the authenticity was that this kind of unthinking answer was basically the truth.
“It’s so late, why are you here? Do you want to steal the sheep?” the ogre Gulitem continued to ask.
Ludwig felt that the ogre in front of him was putting more pressure on him. He quickly waved his hands and shook his head and said:
"NO, I have not!"
Hearing Ludwig say this, Gulitm breathed a sigh of relief... Since he was not a sheep thief, it was no big deal!
He thought Ludwig was a bricklayer from another village working on the reservoir construction site. His palms and jaws were covered with calluses. Although his body was thin, his eyes were full of energy and he looked like a great craftsman!
At this time, Gulitem's stomach rumbled and he remembered that he was not very hungry after eating the multigrain porridge at night. After sleeping for such a short time, his stomach felt empty. He missed the salamander broth a little bit.
The human demon wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, waved his hand impatiently, and said to Ludwig:
"Okay, get out of here quickly. Don't run around at night, and don't come here to wake me up. Otherwise, I will get hungry easily. It's not easy to sleep until dawn. Okay, hurry up.
Go back to the construction site of the reservoir!”
Ludwig was about to go back the way he came when he heard the ogre say this and immediately stopped.
???
His head is full of questions...
I wanted to ask Gulitem if he made a mistake...
But then he immediately realized that the ogre Gulitem thought he was a bricklayer from another village at the reservoir construction site, and he responded smoothly in a hurry:
“Oh, okay, I’ll leave right away...”
Ludwig walked forward without thinking. He had no idea that he would actually pass the sheepfold easily under the eager gaze of an ogre, and even enter the upper reaches of the river.
The tents on the construction site of the reservoir are almost connected into one large area. There are several torches lit around the construction site, and some villagers on duty are standing on high piles of materials.
Although he successfully entered the upper reaches of Wall Village, he did not get carried away.
Seeing the only large house with lights on in the village from a distance, Ludwig immediately thought that Baron Suldak was probably at home, and those followers should also be with him.
, I heard that there was a very powerful archer beside him, whose eyes were not limited by night and day. It was that archer who shot and killed more than twenty companions...
Thinking of this, Ludwig felt a chill on his back. He decided not to take the risk and just went to the direction of the police station in his memory.
A wisp of dark clouds completely covered the hook-like moon, plunging the small mountain village into absolute darkness.
Ludwig walked along the flat open space where the fourth-level reservoir was leveled out, towards the Wall Village Police Station. He wanted to take the risk to go there and have a look. After all, the Magician Gerden died here, and he should have died in Wall Village.
Some clues were left in the village. According to the information obtained from the magician of the Law Enforcement Group of the Magic Union of Helensa City, the mysterious magic crystal did not fall into the hands of the magician.
This means that the magic crystal is likely to be in Wall Village.
A row of chestnut and hawthorn trees were transplanted outside the police station. Ludwig hid by the low wall of the lantern fruit tree and secretly peeked into the police station. Through the dark bushes, he felt that the inside of the police station was quiet.
It was a bit scary. He squatted in the bushes and waited for a long time. When he didn't find anything unusual, he decided to go around to the back of the yard and sneak into the security station...
