"Sir! You don't know something. The wood used in this wooden wall is a very special kind of wood on Heilan Island. People on our island call it the rat-repelling tree. The wooden walls built with it will emit a rat-repellent tree.
It is a very disgusting smell for humans. As long as they smell this smell, rat people will usually run away.
But adults, you should know that these guys like to dig holes, so they are hard to guard against. Even if you use rat repellent wood, you can't stop these guys from digging holes and entering the village. It treats the symptoms but not the root cause. But fortunately, it also has some uses, so basically every village
They all build these wooden walls."
Mike shook his head and said, he was very helpless towards these rat men and it was difficult to find a way to completely restrain them.
"Then there is no way to completely restrain these rat men?" Allen frowned and said, feeling troubled by these rat men in his heart. It is certain that if Allen wants to occupy Black Orchid Island in the future, he will have to deal with these rat men.
"There is no way to completely restrain them, but it's not that there are no ways to effectively restrain these guys! But there are great limitations!" Before Mike could speak, Levis, who was expressionless on the side, spoke.
"Oh! Tell me?" Allen asked curiously.
"My father told me this. It is said that Giant Rat City used this method, but the flaws are very obvious and it is impossible to promote it!" Levis shook his head.
"Levis! Stop nagging, you guy! Speak up!" Mike on the side noticed that Levi was very nagging and said anxiously. He also wanted to know what the solution was.
"It is said that when Giant Rat City was built, a large amount of rat-repelling wood was added to the stone walls. You should know that Giant Rat City has stone floors, and a thick layer of rat-repelling wood is buried deep under those floors.
, and the entire Giant Rat City will be sprayed with rat repellent wood juice once a month!" Levi's said directly without being shy.
"It's like this!" Mike was very surprised. He didn't expect that there is such a secret in this giant rat city, but when he thought about it, he was a little frustrated. This method cannot be popularized at all, even in those large villages, and it costs a lot of money.
The cost is also too high, and a huge amount of rodent repellent is required.
Allen was also surprised. The cost of building such a city, Allen couldn't imagine how much manpower and material resources it would take! This is a city. Although Allen has never seen Giant Rat City, it is estimated that it will not be smaller than Musen City.
"You should understand! This method is simply unrealistic." Levi said helplessly.
"That means it is absolutely safe to live in Giant Rat City? You will not be attacked by rat people at all!" Allen narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.
"That's right! So living in Giant Rat City requires you to hand over a lot of resources to several families in the city. Basically, a group of people will be kicked out of Giant Rat City every year because they don't hand over enough resources, just like
My ancestors, like Mike's ancestors, built a village after being driven out. Many villages came from this way. Despite this, a large number of people still flock to the Giant Rat City every year to enter the Giant Rat City!" Levis explained.
road.
"That's right! Compared with other villages that are always on guard against rat-man attacks, our Wooden Spear Village and Mike's rat-killing village are much safer. There will basically be no rat-men in the canyon! So it won't happen.
What an accident!" As soon as Levi finished speaking, he didn't think of anything at all, glanced at Allen, and smiled stiffly.
Of course Allen knew what this guy was thinking. They were not threatened by rat men, so they should be happy, but when he thought about two of his villages being hijacked by Allen, how could he still be happy?
Mike smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject.
"Sir! The convoy from Mouse Hunting Village is coming out!"
"Yeah!" Allen looked towards the Mouse Hunting Village, and sure enough, a long line of motorcades came out of the exit on the wooden wall one after another.
Allen counted a total of ten bullock carts, with a few cavalry in front. They slowly entered the main road. Walking in the front was a middle-aged man with brown hair and blue eyes riding a big black horse.
"Who is he?" Allen pointed to Mike. The middle-aged man on the horse looked very majestic.
"Sir! That is Victor, the captain of the guard of Mouse Hunting Village, and one of the four knights in their village! He is a very difficult guy to get along with! He has a weird temper and is not a good person!" Mike said to several knights of Mouse Hunting Village.
It was very familiar, so I answered it after just one glance.
"Ha!" Levis next to him chuckled inexplicably and shook his head.
"Levis! What do you mean?" Mike said angrily after hearing this.
"I don't mean anything! It's just that Lucy didn't choose you in the end! Instead, she chose Victor, who has better conditions. It's normal for you to be a little angry!" Levi said with an understanding tone, expressionless.
After hearing Levi's words, Allen finally understood. It turned out that this guy and Mike were love rivals before, and Mike lost to him in the end! No wonder Mike can't stand others!
"Levis! You..."
"alright!"
Mike became angry and was about to scold Levi for exposing his shortcomings, but was stopped by Allen, but he still looked at Levi angrily.
The scene instantly fell silent, extremely awkward. Allen didn't know what to say, and Button Bader behind him was also confused.
In this way, around noon, the convoy finally approached Heisang Village. The closer it got to Heisang Village, the more convoys there were on the road.
After advancing at a snail's pace for about an hour, the convoy finally arrived at Heisang Village.
Heisang Village doesn't feel like a village at all to Allen. It's simply a small town, almost as big as Qinghuang Town.
Inside the wooden walls, there are no longer all low houses, but some gorgeous and tall houses dotted between them. Even if he is still outside the village, Allen can hear the noise coming from the village.
Heisang Village has held markets for many years and has rich management experience. Now there are some specialized people outside the village who direct the convoys and keep the convoys at designated locations. Oxen carts are not allowed to enter Heisang Village. After all, this is
Once all the ox carts enter Heisang Village, even if Heisang Village is large, they will not be able to accommodate them, which will definitely cause congestion.
Under the command of the people from Heisang Village, Allen and the others parked the bullock cart at the designated location and got off the cart with various items on the cart.
One of the differences between Black Orchid Island and the Principality of Kane is the way of trading.
The Principality of Kane and even the entire human kingdom of the Scarlet Continent use currencies such as golden dragons, silver deer, and copper fish for transactions, while Black Orchid Island can only barter, selling valuable beast furs and handicrafts in the village.
The weapons and equipment produced are traded with the items brought by others. For example, this time Mike and the others will trade the skins of beasts in the village for salt.
After getting off the car, Allen and others followed the crowd and entered Heisang Village.
