"I'm just a weak first-class thief now. I only have some useless snacks that are like grass on the wall. I can survive until now by relying on fate and secret calculations. You just give me gold and silver, can I take it away?"
"
In the bleak cold wind, Zhou Qingfeng had an upright face and regarded money as dirt. Fei Zhe and others admired him greatly, and they were fooled for the time being.
In fact, Uncle Zhou has a clear mind. He was not well-known before, and no one made trouble for him when he did something. But now, in order to survive, everyone has to fight with real swords, and if they want to hide anymore
Playing dirty tricks in the dark...
Not to mention that this is not a good style, it is also very easy for you to kill yourself.
Conspiracies are just heresy, while conspiracy is grand and majestic.
Fei Zhe and others evolved into human spirits in a poor environment like the Black Forest, and they were all ruthless. They just couldn't figure out Zhou Qingfeng's background and origins, so they were temporarily blinded.
When they find out that Zhou Qingfeng only has "three axes", who knows what they will do? Repaying gratitude is a joke, and adding insult to injury is almost inevitable.
Full of calculations and conjectures, the group of people entered Ironforge Village. Feizhe sent people to contact several other human settlements that had not yet surrendered, taking interests as the guide and uniting all the forces that could be united.
There are only more than 2,000 humans in the entire Black Forest. If you remove one-third of the people who have taken refuge with the goblins, there will be only more than 1,600 people left. Then remove the more than 300 people in Black Marsh Village who are waiting to die with the dung-making machine.
Get rid of more than half of the servants and handymen in each village...
There are only about four to five hundred human adventurers who can actually fight.
There are only such a small number of people, scattered in several villages, fighting on their own, with many conflicts and dissatisfaction with each other.
If Uncle Zhou hadn't "bravely" stepped forward to integrate, it would have been easy for the Bann Church to clean up the Black Forest. From now on, the goblins of the Magru tribe will laugh out of their dreams.
After entering the village, Zhou Qingfeng immediately put on a show. He asked for a clean house, two maids to serve him, a bath immediately, clean clothes, and good food and wine. Anyway, he asked for how a noble should live, how he could think of it.
Make requests.
Tieliang Village was very poor, but Fei Zhe had to ask for help from others and had to do his best to meet Zhou Qingfeng's requirements. The house, hot water, food and clothing were all okay, but this maid was sincere...
"It's so ugly. Being served by such a maid will give you nightmares at night." Seeing the 'maid' that Fei Zhe carefully selected and sent, Zhou Qingfeng was on pins and needles, his eyelids were twitching, "Where is this maid? It's clearly a maid.
Yaksha!”
The men in this black forest are all rough, and the women can be called strong. Anyway, it is impossible to be very particular if you can live in a place like this.
Cyric sensed Zhou Qingfeng's "ugly refusal" mentality and laughed in his mind, "Boy, you still want to be my believer? I can make you the chief priest of the church, and you can get any beautiful woman you want.
have."
"Go away, you madman! I'd rather believe you than a piece of shit." Zhou Qingfeng took a hot bath and relaxed. He stayed in his private room and stuffed a plate of barbecue into his stomach. He felt much more comfortable.
In this apocalyptic world, being well fed, well clothed and well fed is the happiness that most people dream of.
Bang bang bang..., there was a knock on the door.
It was already dark, but the messengers sent by Tieliang Village were quite effective. The leaders of other villages were also very decisive after hearing the news. Zhou Qingfeng's wish to gather all the resistance forces came true.
Some villages sent special envoys, and some villages even had their leaders come personally. With dual pressure from goblins and evil gods, everyone hoped to find a way to survive.
Fei Zhe came to invite him in person, and a newly dressed Zhou Qingfeng appeared in the village meeting hall. In the hall, there were brave people with thirty or forty blades licking blood waiting for him. They were all with shining eyes and full of evil spirits.
When Zhou Qingfeng walked into the hall, everyone was surprised that the person who revealed the secret of the elf ruins was actually a young man. But his eyes first focused on the slowly closing hall door and the dome inside the hall.
The hall door is made of oak, thick and heavy, but the door shaft is very smooth and precise, with very little friction. You can still vaguely see exquisitely carved patterns on the door, depicting the lush black forest of the past and the life of the elves.
As for the dome, that's even more special.
The meeting hall of Baiya Village doubles as a tavern. The space is not large when you walk in, and the layout is rough. However, the meeting hall of Iron Furnace Village is very spacious, with enough room for several thick wooden round tables inside. The four corners of the pillars also divide the space.
into different functional areas.
"Everyone, have you been here before?" Faced with everyone's doubts, inquiries, and surprised looks, Zhou Qingfeng spoke first. He pointed to the dark dome, "Can anyone see the murals on the dome clearly?"
Everyone looked up and could only vaguely see a few dusty chandeliers hanging on the dome. However, they did have to admire the exquisite and majestic architectural structure here, which was incomparable to other villages.
"Murals? I didn't see any murals." The old dwarf was also among the crowd watching Zhou Qingfeng. He was short, fat, and had no neck because of his spherical body. It was difficult to raise his head. He could only stand on tiptoes and move back and forth.
Turn your head.
"This is not a meeting hall at all. This is the craftsman's lounge of the Elf Forge." Zhou Qingfeng walked straight to the corner of the hall and stretched out his hand to touch the wall. "Not only are there exquisite murals, but there are also reliefs on the walls, showing all kinds of life.
facility."
The surrounding walls are covered with a thick layer of wooden boards, which are simple and rough.
"Someone do me a favor and tear this place apart." Zhou Qingfeng shouted.
"Sir Hugo, what do you want to do?" As a landlord, Fei Zhe asked urgently. He allowed Zhou Qingfeng to enter the village, but reluctantly invited representatives from other villages and gathered everyone together. He already felt that he was ready
receive a blow.
Now that Zhou Qingfeng actually wants to tear down the wall, he is simply turning against customers. Fei Zhe must stand up and stop it.
Just when this bearded man shouted, everyone present looked angrily. Everyone was furious when they heard the news, and hurried over just to know more secrets of Iron Furnace Village.
Anyone who dares to stop them will surely find a group to attack.
Zhou Qingfeng stood in the corner, turned around and said with a smile: "Don't be too nervous. I just felt that there was not enough light in the hall and wanted to light the chandelier on the dome. By the way, let everyone take a look at the murals left by the elves. Art is like those with pointed ears.
Guy’s lifelong pursuit.”
There were torches lit in the hall, but the light was really not very good.
The female Druidnar took the initiative to stand up and shouted in a rough voice: "Sir Hugo, I'm here to help you remove those wooden boards, but let's see who dares to stop me?"
Druids are straight-tempered and have very hot tempers. Naer stepped forward, but Fei Zhe had no choice but to back down due to the public anger.
Zhou Qingfeng pointed to a wooden board in the corner. The big woman roared, stretched out her hand and buckled hard, and the thick birch wood instantly shattered into pieces.
There was a big hole in the finger-thick wooden board, and other people in the hall gathered around to see what was going on. Zhou Qingfeng originally just wanted to remove a board, but when Naer took it apart, she found a stone wall behind the board.
So she continued to violently demolish them.
"Relief!" someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Damn Feizhe, he deliberately used these wooden boards to cover the relief on the stone wall behind. This place was indeed built by elves."
Fei Zhe scolded his mother in annoyance at this moment, but there was nothing he could do. The other adventurers were already excited and stepped forward to join in the demolition of the wall.
There was a loud crashing and clicking sound, and a beautifully carved wall that had been sealed for decades was revealed to humans again. Just looking at the style of the carvings, it was not human.
Flowers and ancient trees, clear springs and grasslands, beautiful elves and men and women shuttled through the woods under the moonlight. They were noble, elegant, smart, beautiful, and kind-hearted unicorns, enjoying the favor of the elves and gods.
The sculptures are extremely exquisite, showing the life of Silverleaf City in the Black Forest at that time. At that time, the sun could still warm the earth, the moonlight could soothe the soul, and everything was very harmonious.
It's just that human beings have been living under the drowsy Iron Curtain for decades. Most of the people in the hall were born after the Day of Eternal Darkness. Many of them have never seen the sun and the moon, and their memories are only the never-ending cold wind.
.
When the truth was revealed, Fei Zhe was dejected and staggered back, "Ironforge Village was indeed the forging ground of the elves. After the elves left, my grandfather was the first to discover it. He was overjoyed at the time and moved our entire family.
Come in.
But this is also a cursed place. Our family has not benefited from this and is even poorer than before. The children of the family do not have enough food and clothing, and the women of the family cannot wear beautiful clothes. More than once, I have wanted to take the family with me.
Move away.
But I can't, I can't leave here. Before my father died, I swore to him that I would protect this village and make the family prosperous. But my ability is limited, and I can't break the restrictions on the mine left by the elves."
Fei Zhe burst into tears as he spoke. He pulled up a chair and sat down. The nearly two-meter-tall man cried like a child. He blamed himself, felt sad, and was extremely angry.
"It's useless for you to hate me. I'm also in pain, because those damn elves closed the entire mine, and our family didn't get any benefit from it at all."
Everyone present was originally full of hatred for Fei Zhe, but now they felt sympathy and empathy. Most of them, like Fei Zhe, stayed in the Black Forest with some great dream, but the reality made them feel like they were facing an abyss.
Regarding this sad narration, only Zhou Qingfeng could still smile, "Mr. Fei Zhe, don't be too sad, I can help you." As he said that, he stretched out his hand towards the relief of a woman on the wall, where the bulge on her chest was.
Give it a gentle poke.
With a snap, the mechanism in the wall was triggered, and there was the sound of gears meshing behind the wall, followed by the sound of talc igniting from the dome, and the chandeliers hanging above were lit one after another. The light gradually became abundant, and the hall became brighter.
The darkness on the dome was driven away, and everyone looked up. A huge and exquisite mural was revealed in front of them. The most eye-catching thing was a sun emitting light and heat hanging on it.
It is the source of light and heat, the source of life, and the source of civilization.
The sun, the sun has appeared!
Everyone had never seen such a gorgeous scene, and they were shocked and amazed.
