Lucia got a new territory and new people.
These people on earth are so different from her people underground. They are much more fragile and need to be cared for carefully, and they will not attempt to assassinate her. Lucia was very satisfied with these new people, and she worked hard on her first day in office, wanting to improve the lives of the people.
First of all, the people only have white beans to eat, which is really tragic. As her people, they deserve richer food.
Lucia, however, didn"t know much about the way of life on earth, so she called Tim, a well-informed man who had worked in the castle, and asked her: " I want new seeds. In exchange for what? Who do you trade with? "
Tim was stunned for a while, and then hesitantly said: " Sir, do you want to plant new crops? The land of Mershburg was once influenced by the divine power of the God of Light. Except for white ground beans, other crops cannot survive here.. ”
Lucia was a little dazed.
In the Encyclopedia of Ketasi who fell into the abyss, the existence of " divine power " was indeed mentioned. There are many gods on the Ketasi continent. Their divine power can protect their believers and give them some special powers - for example, the believers of the God of Light have the ability to communicate with the light element, thus becoming excellent healers and purifiers.
... But the divine power mentioned by Tim seems to be different from the description of divine power in the records.
Tim sensed the Lord"s doubts.
since Ragnarok, and the original kingdom and society of Ketasi has long since fallen apart. She was suspicious of the lord"s confusion at this time, but not too surprised.
As soon as he saw the grown-up, Tim realized that she was different from them.
She is like a bystander outside the disaster and suffering, with ignorance and pure whiteness that is not familiar with the world.
Ketasi Continent, and four years ago, no one would have thought that the gods who protected them forever would bring disaster to them. Tim had a lot of speculation in his heart, but he didn"t ask.
" Whenever a god falls, the uncontrollable divine power will be scattered to the earth, causing disasters or otherworldly realms. For example, after the death of the dark god, his divine power descends, and it becomes the evil thoughts that can curse us. "
Tim explained, " At the beginning, Mersh Fort was affected by a ray of divine power from the God of Light, and the chance of being attacked by monsters was greatly reduced. However, after a large number of fugitives came here, they discovered that the land of Mersh was unbearable because it was unbearable. The divine power dried up and cracked, and only white earth beans could survive here. ”
Lucia looked puzzled: "The pepper forest is only a twenty-minute walk from here. "
" Yes, my lord. I think that"s the rumored realm of the forest god, " Tim said. " I"ve never been there, but I"ve heard of it... It"s full of beasts, and even plants eat people. Ex The lord tried to obtain food resources from the otherworld, but few of the teams who entered there were able to return safely. Over time, we stopped setting foot there. ”
She said, as if recalling the huge python, and shivered slightly.
Lucia nodded thoughtfully.
The sun broke through the clouds and reflected on the post-disaster town. There are two suns and two moons in Ketaxi continent. According to legend, they represent the flesh and godhead of light and darkness respectively.
Lucia stood in front of the stone castle, looking down at the shelter.
Mershburg is not big, but today it has only nineteen inhabitants, so it looks extraordinarily empty. You must know that the number of Lucia"s people in the abyss is as many as 109,704 - this is just the number she counted before she left the abyss.
monster tide ravaged Mursh like a gust of wind, but there are still some shacks left intact. The survivors were looking for these habitable shacks, and these were all seen by Lucia.
The sheds were old and shabby, and neither rain nor freezing. " We need to build new houses, " she thought.
The white bean field is located on both sides of the road leading to the stone castle. The houses around the field are almost completely trampled by monsters. After spending time cleaning up, there is a large open space that can be used for construction. Lucia told Tim: " I need some people to clear this area of farmland. "
Tim nodded quickly and was about to leave when he heard the lord continue: " Remuneration... Do you think a piece of cloth is suitable? "
The stock of food in the cellar is not full, and the gold and silver treasures in this world are probably of little use today. Lucia thought for a moment and felt that she could use the cloth as a reward.
Tim stopped in his footsteps, did not expect her to say this sentence, and stuttered for a while: " What? No, no, Lord Lord, you don"t need to pay us"
her face, as if Lucia had said something incredible. The value of cloth in Mershburg is more precious than food, and they will not have a new cloth in a year, and all their clothes are tattered.
Lucia didn"t quite agree with her words.
She once wanted Bonebird to find a very rare little white flower for her, but no matter how many Bonebirds were found, they would only peck her head fiercely. It wasn"t until she took out the meat that the Bone Bird liked to eat to tempt it, and the Bone Bird obediently obeyed her instructions.
Lucia thought she was quite experienced in the matter of being a lord, and said with a firm voice: " Just do this. Anyone who does this for me will get a piece of cloth. "
Tim left the castle like a sleepwalker, as if he was stepping on not the muddy ground, but the soft clouds. It was not until she saw her child running towards her that she seemed to suddenly regain her senses, and her mind finally started to work again.
The cloth in the cellar is of different lengths, but when she went to the cellar to run errands to get the ingredients, she heard the tailor mention that one piece of cloth can make two clothes.
That"s two new clothes! Their goblins are much shorter than other races, and a piece of cloth can make three or four pieces of clothing!
Tim covered his mouth suddenly, couldn"t help but turned his head and looked in the direction of the stone castle.
but Lucia is no longer there.
took a rough look at the stone castle earlier. This is a double-layered stone castle. The first floor has become terrible due to the wave of monsters, but it can be seen that it was originally divided into a living room, a dining room and a kitchen.
The situation on the second floor was not much better. The deep corridor was splashed with blood on both sides, and a large hole was broken in the middle of the door leading to the previous lord"s bedroom, and sawdust fell to the ground.
Lucia found the study in the castle, where she remembered there was a map hanging on the wall.
" Lord Lord. "
she stepped into the door, someone else"s voice rang out. Lucia raised her eyes and saw that the elf found in the cellar stood up with the desk supported.
She remembered that she seemed to let the wounded man rest in the castle, and nodded at him: " Are you better? "
The Spirit of Light replied: " I am gradually recovering, thank you for your kindness. "
He said so, but the color on his body was still clear and pure white, and it did not light up the warm orange like the other grateful people. Lucia nodded again, withdrew her gaze, and looked at the map on the wall.
She looked at elves the same way she looked at goblins, humans, and half-humans, as if they were all the same species. Even after he was ripped off the altar, he had never seen such a look.
The light elf"s violet eyes looked at the new lord of Mershburg.
The lord felt familiar to him, and it was kind to him, but he knew he had never seen her. The elf was silent for a moment, her eyes falling on the map she was looking at.
" Do you want to learn about the mysterious realm of the forest? "
Lucia was indeed looking at that area, and when she heard the words, she looked away and looked at him again. The elf said: " The terrain of the continent has changed a lot after the disaster. Lakes appeared out of thin air, mountains and forests rose from the cracks in the ground, and city-states became wastelands... This map is not accurate. If you have anything you want to know, you can ask me. "
This is a very zealous subject, Lucia thought.
While talking to Tim, she saw that the color on Tim had fluctuated, and the goblin had been surprised by her confusion. This made Lucia feel a little embarrassed. After all, as a lord, she couldn"t make her people feel that she knew nothing.
But the elf"s reaction was normal and natural, as if he didn"t know these things were normal.
So Lucia really asked him: " What kind of place is that? "
The light elf pondered for a moment.
The self-healing ability of the elemental races has always been strong. The elves could not stand when they left the dungeon, but now they can walk. He crossed the blood stains on the floor, came behind Lucia, stopped half a step away from her, and raised his hand.
His pale, thin fingers, covered with old wounds, pointed to an empty area on the map.
" Two years ago, after the God of Light fell, the God of Forest also died. "
His voice was slow and slow, as if telling a story: " His divine power fell on the wilderness not far from Mersh, and in just one night, it was covered with vegetation, and towering trees rose to the ground. Get up. "
" Someone in Mersh discovered a vision, and the former lord sent guards out to investigate. On the first trip, they returned intact and brought back hare meat and tree peppers. The lord was delighted and took the otherworldly realm with him. as the favor of the gods. ”
Even when talking about the lord who imprisoned him in the dungeon and abused him, his eyes were still calm: " Until one time, no one returned from the team sent out. "
" At first, the former lord didn"t take this matter to heart, but the people who went to the secret realm didn"t come back. One time someone in the team escaped and returned to the territory. Only then did people know that the dense forest had become the habitat of wild beasts. The ground. And that night, a beast followed the breath of the survivors and launched an attack on Mersh. ”
He was clearly trapped in the underground where there was no light, but he knew all about the past events in the territory. Lucia gave him a " uh " and asked him, " what kind of beasts are there? "
"..."
The elf paused with her fingertips and raised her eyes, as if she did not expect her to react like this. After a brief silence, he replied: " Sorry, my lord, I don"t know. "
lord who came before him. For countless late nights, he had stayed quietly in the corner of the cage, listening to the sad and painful prayers and pleas outside.
The elves have heard many things from their mouths, not including what actually exists in the mysterious realm of the forest.
the window of the castle, and Lucia heard what Tim was shouting, and she probably found everyone. She kept the information on the map in her mind and prepared to leave the study.
The light elf stopped her: " Are you going to another world? "
Lucia nodded, and the elf said, " Please allow me to walk with you. "
The alien realm created by divine power is full of everything that the world can"t imagine, where ferocious beasts are dormant, and there are many dangers. This is the elf"s way of expressing gratitude, he said, his violet eyes open and calm.
" After that, I"ll leave Mursh. "
