Although we still don’t know the purpose of the Dark Moon Gate magician flying in a circle over Wall Village, but what we can feel is that this magician has brought an invisible force to Wall Village.
The pressure seems to have spread to the hearts of every villager.
Some villagers in the village have begun to secretly talk about the magician who can fly around on a magic harpoon. When they see the magicians in the adventure group at the entrance of the village, the villagers' eyes are also strange.
Surdak had no good solution for this. Although he had given away the Crystal Key, the magician of the Dark Moon Gate did not seem to have forgotten Wall Village.
Suldak and the old village chief first walked around the reservoir construction site.
The Harvest Festival is approaching, and the grouting of the main body of the fourth-level reservoir dam at the reservoir construction site will be carried out after the Harvest Festival. Now the steel bars and plywood of the dam are ready. The volcanic ash is piled up like a hill on the construction site, and the construction site is quiet.
Quietly, the bricklayers had returned to their respective villages two days ago, and they would return one after another after the Harvest Festival.
The old village chief stroked the plywood of the main body of the dam with one hand, tapping the plywood with his knuckles from time to time to check whether the plywood was tied firmly.
A bunch of steel bars are exposed in the place where the plywood is not enclosed. These small finger-thick steel bars are transported from the blacksmith workshop in Bena City. Up to now, the reservoir project has only purchased these steel bars. Surdak
Nearly five hundred gold coins have been taken out.
Bright Village Chief said to Surdak: "After the Harvest Festival, we will start pouring the main body of the dam for the fourth-level reservoir. By the way, Duck, isn't the designed height of the fifth-level dam a bit short? We have already repaired it.
, why not build it higher?”
The fifth-level reservoir occupies the largest area, and the fifth-level reservoir is not a huge overall pool, but is composed of thirteen interlocking pools at different heights. The dam height of these pools is only one
Mi, the old village chief knew what Surdak was thinking, but he hoped that this large dam could store more water.
There are two things the old village chief wants to do most in his life: one thing is to stop the water shortage in the village, and the other is to cultivate fields that can feed the villagers. Now both of these things have been realized, but
He still wants to save more water and cultivate more land...
Surdak stood on a large area of mountainous land where the fifth-level reservoir had not been completely leveled, and said to the old village chief:
"I plan to turn this first-level pool into a large bathing beach. I will lay a layer of fine sand around the pool and plant some willow trees. In the summer, the children in the village can cool down here without worrying about the water being too hot.
Deep and in danger.”
The old village chief was unwilling. He smacked his lips, took out a walnut pipe from his arms, filled the pipe with some shredded tobacco, and without lighting it, he put it in his mouth and took two dry puffs, frowning.
Sichuan character.
Suldak continued to explain: "According to the original design, the only tanks that can actually store water in this large dam are the first three levels. The fourth-level water storage tanks are to ensure buffer storage of flash floods during the rainy season. We have already moved the water in the upper reaches of the valley.
The mountain spring is surrounded, and there must be a place for everyone to draw water. In the future, I plan to connect some copper pipes from a certain pool in the five-level reservoir, so that the mountain spring can be directly delivered to everyone.
Every household."
"The project will be completed soon. Of course I understand this. But the more I understand, the more I can't figure it out. The total cost of the next two levels of reservoirs is nearly double that of the first three levels, and the investment of manpower and material resources is huge.
, in the end it was actually of no use, I always feel that the construction of these two levels of reservoirs was a bit of a loss!" Mayor Bright said seriously.
"What's the point? You'll know the benefits later." Suldak said with a 'hehe' smile.
The central square of the village is still very lively. The villagers are used to eating big pot meals in the square. When the old village chief and Suldak passed by the village square, the villagers stood up to greet them. The old village chief said
These villagers who eat and drink from big wooden bowls never look good.
At this moment, he scolded a group of young people squatting in the corner eating with a straight face: "Those of you who have not participated in the construction project of the small townhouse, don't come here every day to eat. The canteen here is a small townhouse."
The building craftsmen are preparing."
A group of young people in the village said with laughter: "Uncle Bright, we are all working on the construction site of the townhouse."
The village chief Bright immediately scolded: "Get out of the way, you kid, you think I'm old and stupid, don't you know you're driving a carriage at the reservoir construction site?"
He picked up the crutch in his hand and limped quickly towards the young people.
The other young people in the village immediately panicked and explained as they ran: "Uncle Bright, we just eat porridge..."
"Ha ha……"
The women in the village sat on the stone strips next to the square and watched the excitement. What was originally a serious topic was filled with laughter.
The village chief Bright walked to the big iron pot where the multi-grain porridge was being cooked with an angry look on his face, and ordered the cook who was cooking the multi-grain porridge: "Please keep an eye on the grain bag. I will run out of grain before the time comes. I want to
Replacement."
The cook was so frightened that she quickly poured two more ladles of water into the big pot...
Surdak and the village chief Bright walked into the carpenter's workshop. As the townhouses were being completed one after another, the triangular wooden frames on the roof of the carpenter's workshop have now been completed. Wooden window frames are currently being built in large quantities, and some finished windows are being built.
The frame is hung in the open space next to the carpenter's workshop. A large pergola has been built with sunshade cloth. All the varnished windows are dried here. You can smell a strong smell of paint when you walk nearby.
.
It was getting very late, but the lights were still burning in the carpenter's workshop, and a group of carpenters were busy making the last batch of window frames.
The carpenter's workshop has always been the busiest place in Wall Village. Stacks of wood are piled in the warehouse and will be consumed soon.
Surdak followed the old village chief to the row houses in front of the village. Most of the row houses at the entrance of the village have been rented by businessmen and turned into temporary residences and warehouses. Due to the influx of a large number of adventure groups in the deserted land, the entrance to the village has
The market is becoming more and more prosperous, attracting many businesses during this period, and the row houses at the entrance of the village have been fully utilized.
A large row house near the river became a camp for kobold slaves, and six hundred kobold slaves have been living here.
Surdak and the old village chief Bright walked towards the kobold slave camp. From a distance, they heard a burst of scolding from the village overseer, accompanied by the low-pitched prayers of the kobold slaves, and the sound of quarreling could be heard in the silent night.
So far.
The old village chief heard the quarrel, but was not surprised at all. He only said that these kobold slaves have been uneasy recently.
When the two of them walked to the kobold slave camp, they saw the village overseer scolding a group of kobolds. The leader of the kobolds had a candle on his head.
Whimpers of protest.
Before Suldak could figure out what was going on, the village chief Bright told the story of the incident.
The reason really made Surdak dumbfounded. The kobold slaves were protesting to the overseer. They believed that even as slaves, they would not be able to live such an degrading life in the future. The kobold slaves filed an application to request kobold male and female slaves.
To live separately, they needed two slave camps. The old village chief thought it was nothing. He just needed to divide the slave camp into two and separate them from each other.
But the next request of the kobold slaves is a bit over the line. The kobold slaves hope that their daily labor can be exchanged for contribution points. As long as the contribution points are sufficient, the village must allow the kobold slaves to form families, and the newly formed families must
There are separate rooms for personal privacy, etc.
These kobold slaves began to protest to fight for some benefits for themselves.
However, they only make a fuss after dinner and before going to bed. They still work honestly during the day, and when it's time to go to bed, they will return to the camp to rest obediently.
Village Chief Bright was troubled by this, and felt that it was necessary to discuss this matter with Suldak. The main reason was that these kobold slaves were making a fuss that was too measured to suppress. At the same time, they were indeed fighting for
Seek your own welfare.
The old village chief had planned to separate the slave camp after the Harvest Festival, but he did not agree to the request to prepare a single gun room for the dog and the man.
Surdak couldn't understand why these obedient kobold slaves, who had always been honest, made so many demands recently...
But then he discovered the problem. He immediately saw the necklace on the neck of the kobold leader. It was a necklace made of stones. It was nothing on its own, but the pendant of this stone necklace was very special.
Unusually, the pendant is a crescent-shaped stone.
Surdak suddenly remembered that more than a month ago, Selena hugged him and said that she wanted to try to develop followers of the Dark Goddess among this group of kobold slaves. The effect seems to be very significant. Obviously, this
A kobold leader has become a believer of the Dark Goddess, and even wears a necklace representing the radiance of the moon around his neck...
He even suspected that the kobold slaves' fight for rights this time was due to Selina's guidance.
After this whole summer, the kobold slaves have proved their worth to the people of Wall Village. From the beginning of digging the river to the later digging of stones in the quarry, they have always worked hard and shouldered most of the hardest work.
The most tiring work, so much so that now they have made some demands, and the old village chief feels that he can satisfy them as much as possible.
When the supervisor saw the old village chief and Surdak coming so late, he thought they had come in a hurry after hearing about the kobold slave camp. He suddenly felt that he had failed to do his job well. He became angry and furious.
He gave the kobold leader a whip.
The kobold leader was lying on the ground, facing the overseer's whip, holding a candle on his head, and he didn't know what he was reciting silently while crawling on the ground.
"Val, who allowed you to whip them..."
The old village chief walked over quickly, snatched the whip from the hands of the village supervisor, and shouted angrily.
