When Lu Tao woke up in his room the next day, the dim sky outside and the unfamiliar ceiling above him made it impossible for him to tell for a while whether he was still in a dream.

After Lu Tao's observation, although it is underground, there is still a difference between day and night, and the glowing moss on the top of the head also seems to change the brightness of the light as the sun rises and falls outside. In this way, there is also a division of day in the underground, so that people's sense of time will not be distorted, so as to create a strange scene in a village, half of the people are sleeping, and the other half of the people are working.

Lu Tao was a little skeptical that the moss used as lighting had some additional connection with the sun overhead.

Last night, someone finally helped Lu Tao out of the siege, and he didn't have to answer Nana's question. Seeing that the weather was not early, Luthor found Lu Tao and told him that he should go back to rest early, so Lu Tao apologized to Nana and ran away, after all, in his opinion, this banquet is not so much that he is the protagonist, but that no one cares who is the protagonist at all, as long as there is a place to dance, a place to eat and drink, everything is fine.

Maybe in the end, no one will find out, and suddenly there is no one at the scene.

Oh no, it should be said that there were suddenly three fewer people, and when I heard that Lu Tao was leaving, Nana also left the banquet with him, and didn't even take a look at Tatam, who was dancing quite happily in the audience. Lu Tao couldn't help but feel sad for Tatam, and he couldn't imagine that he could see a pure licking dog here, which was really embarrassing.

Thinking about these things, there was a sudden knock on the door outside, Lu Tao put on his shoes, opened the door, and saw Luthor who had already taken his weapon.

He nodded at Lu Tao: "Old Chen sent someone to tell me, saying that the village chief has returned, let me take you there, if you are ready, we will leave." ”

"Okay, wait a minute. Lu Tao answered, turned around and went to find half a basin of water that he borrowed from Luthor yesterday, although the door of the house could not be locked, fortunately, compared to Tatam, Luthor was still much more reliable, and knew to knock on the door before coming in.

After washing up a little, Lu Tao tidied up his clothes, followed behind Luther, and walked up the road that ran through the village at the door of the house.

The further up you go, the larger the scope of the building, and a large courtyard at the end is the courtyard of the village chief, where there are also two warriors standing guard with spears at the gate of the courtyard, and they saw Luthor leading Lu Tao up from a distance, and one of them said hello.

"Hey, Luther, what's the wind blowing you?"

Luthor rested the spear in his hand on his shoulder, "Didn't anyone tell you?

When a guest from outside came to see the village chief, the elder sent someone to inform me in the morning, and I thought you knew. ”

The soldier who spoke poked his head out and glanced at Lu Tao: "This is a person from outside, it looks no different from me, Luthor, you wait here for a while, and I'll go in and report it." ”

With that, he turned and ran into the courtyard inside, which was stacked on top of each other, and without looking at his back, he disappeared behind the layers of wooden fences.

It didn't take long for the man to run back again, and he nodded at Luther: "Let's go, I'll take you in, dog, you take care of the gate." ”

The last sentence, he said to another warrior with a spear, Lu Tao looked at the young man called "Dog", he wanted to laugh but couldn't help it, but he was thinking about another question in his heart, is there such an animal as a dog?

Entering the village chief's courtyard, Lu Tao and Lu Thor followed behind and turned left and right, I don't know how long they turned around, and finally saw a building that covered a large area. The building has two floors, and the warrior who led the way knocked on the door first, and only pushed the door open when he got a response from inside, leading Lu Tao and Luthor into the hall in the center of the first floor.

"Village chief, elders, I have already brought people. ”

Inside the hall, there were three or four people sitting around the outside of a round table, among which the elder that Lu Tao had seen yesterday waved his hand in the direction of the door: "Green, Luther, there is nothing to do with you here, you can go down first." ”

The name of Green made Lu Tao a little suspicious in his heart, he always felt that the names of the people in this village were very strange, and he didn't know how to come up with them, you know, no matter whether it was Da Qin or Da Yue above, the names they gave were all oriental names, never like the people here, messed together, and now he had to say that he heard a name like Green, not to mention the names of Nana and Tatam in front.

When Green and Luthor left this hall, the elder beckoned to Lu Tao: "Sit down, this is our village chief Turbidity, the rest are the elders of the village, presumably you have questions to ask us, we also have some questions to ask you, if there are no problems, you will be the guest of honor in our Black Dragon Village in the future." ”

Lu Tao nodded and sat down opposite the few people.

The village chief who was sitting on the upper seat was the first to speak: "Actually, we don't doubt your identity as an outsider, but I still want to ask, what is going on with the boss now?"

The village chief is a middle-aged man, with a very clean beard under his chin, wearing black clothes, and his hair is also very neatly trimmed, looking capable. His voice was full of anger, looking Lu Tao up and down, although he was smiling, but

I don't see the meaning of a smile at all.

Lu Tao pondered for a moment and replied: "Originally, there were two countries, Dayue and Daqin, which jointly dealt with the northern barbarians, but now the northern barbarians and Dayue have all dissipated, and only Daqin is left. However, for some reason, the Great Qin Empire's control over various regions is quite insufficient, and some time ago, there was a change in the Great Qin royal family, but I don't know what happened specifically. ”

According to part of what Nana said yesterday, the last time he came to this village, the outsider who came to this village last time was his grandfather, that is to say, what he saw and heard in the village was still limited to the original existence of the Dayue Empire, Lu Tao can't remember how many years ago it was, but it's okay to go down. This conflict with the Great Qin Imperial Family, or the entire imperial city that was swallowed by the Sky Swallowing Worm in the end, Lu Tao planned to hide it for the time being, he had to suspect that this was the inside of the Sky Swallowing Worm at all, if the people here knew that there was a huge city that was swallowed by the Sky Swallowing Worm, I don't know what additional changes would happen.

After listening to Lu Tao's words, the village chief Xunlong did not immediately say anything, but discussed it with the elders next to him. Their discussion was very low, and Lu Tao couldn't hear what they were talking about, but judging from their expressions, it seemed that they were just curious. In this way, Lu Tao is relieved, what he said before is actually some inconsequential things, at least for the people of Black Dragon Village, these things are not important at all, so Lu Tao doesn't have to worry, someone jumped out to accuse him of lying, the only thing I am worried about now is that I don't know what kind of expectations these elders of Black Dragon Village and their village head, Turbidity, have from outsiders.

But they finally finished discussing, and the turbid dragon nodded to Lu Tao: "In this way, we can agree to treat you as a guest of the Black Dragon Village, but in the Black Dragon Village, whether it is food or other things, you need to rely on your own labor and hard work, we can only provide you with the minimum daily food consumption, I hope you can understand this." So do you have any questions for us?"

Lu Tao seemed to understand what these people wanted. They have also received outsiders before, and they should know that they can obtain their rare technology from outsiders, just like Nana's grandfather was originally a chef of the Dayue Empire, at least he knew how to handle many ingredients, and he also discovered a lot of spices, which improved the food style of Heilong Village, so Nana could live in a big house halfway up the mountain.

The reason why these people made him self-reliant was probably the idea of getting some advanced production technology from Lu Tao, but Lu Tao felt that it was nothing, and it would be better if these people said it directly.
