According to the preliminary explorations of the early knights, all the remnants lived in the forest to the south of the island.

Mainly because there is a small hill here, and there is a lake next to the hill, probably because of the water source, the remnants settled here.

With the knight leading the way, the group headed straight south, through the forest.

Along the way, there was no trace of fierce beasts, but there were a lot of pheasants and hares.

Moreover, the further you go, the more you can find some paths, which are obviously traces of people walking for a long time.

Lin Xiao guessed that the remnants living in the forest should often go to the ruins of the city to discover useful things. When the territory was hit by a disaster, some materials in the city would be left behind in an emergency, which may be the reason why the remnants were able to survive after the disaster.

The sturdy knights continued to go deeper, and the further they went, the thicker the forest became, almost obscuring everyone's view.

It wasn't until I walked through the dense forest, as I approached the lake, that my eyes became brighter.

It is a beautiful, peaceful place, with a blue lake and a village built around it not far in front.

After a rough count, there are about 100 households.

In the fields outside the village, there were some farmers who were busy with farm work, and when Lin Xiao and his party appeared, it was too conspicuous, and they found out directly.

"Oh my God, it's an outsider!"

"A stranger is coming, go and inform the Prophet. ”

When those farmers saw Lin Xiao and the others, they all exclaimed, and some of them even threw away their farm tools and ran to the village.

"It's great that an outsider has appeared. ”

Soon, perhaps the news spread, and the entire quiet village became lively, whether it was the elderly, adults, or children, they all poured out one by one, standing not far away to watch Lin Xiao and the others.

This sudden scene made the knights scratch their heads.

However, they could all see that these people basically did not have any cultivation, they were just ordinary people, and the few who had traces of cultivation were far from being their opponents, so they just watched it for a while.

didn't let them wait long, and soon, surrounded by a group of people, an old man with a strong breath walked over.

"Respected foreign powerhouse, I am Val Liang, the prophet of the Blue Water Lake Wild Territory, and I welcome you all the way from afar. The old man, like the other Blue Water Lake people, looked at Lin Xiao and the others with extremely friendly eyes, and was completely wary of facing strangers from outside, and his posture was extremely low.

Of course, part of the reason for this may come from the fear of the strength of the knights.

Lin Xiao was not surprised by the other party's attitude, he glanced at the prophet with some understanding, and maintained a good lord's demeanor: "Prophet of the Blue Water Lake, hello, I am the lord of the Immortal River Lord. ”

After knowing Lin Xiao's lordship identity, their eyes became a little eager, and their posture was lowered.

Next, at the invitation of the Prophet Warliang, the group went to one of the best buildings in the village, and then the two sides had a friendly conversation.

As the prophet spoke, the knights realized that their guess was correct, and that many of the remnants of the Blue Water Lake Wild Territory were descendants of the people left behind by the ruined city in the center of the island.

At the beginning, the domain was called the Giant City Territory, and it is said that the lord had great ambitions to develop his territory into a real city-level territory and build huge cities.

Unfortunately, overnight, a tide of sea beasts and beasts surged in, and the lord's knights only tentatively resisted, and were ordered by the lord to protect him from Boulder Island, and the territory fell apart.

The people of the city were completely abandoned.

The Knights were unable to resist with the city's defenses, let alone them.

Seeing that the lords were buried in the mouth of the beast one after another, a powerful knight who had no time to evacuate led the remaining lords to fight and retreat, all the way to this hill.

The sea beasts pursued them all the way, but fortunately, there were many mines in the hills that extended in all directions, and the rest of the people all hid in them and survived.

When the tide receded, they walked out of the mine to find that the territory was in ruins.

After the ravages of the sea beasts, not only were the special products planted devoured, but even many materials in the city were also mostly destroyed, leaving them with only a barren land.

Moreover, there was not a single ship left in the port, and they did not even have a chance to leave the island.

They had to stay on the island and eventually survived by the blue water lake.

However, having lost the protection of their territory, they had no food, no special products, no knights, no walls and city defenses, and they became completely relic.

Although some supplies and seeds were found in the ruins of the territory, they were barely enough to survive.

But they have to face the threat of sea beasts at all times.

Without the protection of the Knights, it may be life-threatening to casually encounter a sea beast that inadvertently wanders to the island.

The Prophet himself, the mighty knight of the beginning, was the only one who enjoyed the life of a formal lord—a life of shelter, not even the most basic security.

"In other words, you have lived on this island for decades, and no outsiders have ever visited, and even the lord who escaped at the beginning has never come back?" Lin Xiao glanced at the remnants who were watching outside, and then looked at the old knight and said.

"Yes, Your Highness the Lords of the Immortal River. The old knight had clearly adapted to the status gap, and spoke more and more respectfully, "If the lord of the Big City hadn't discovered precious mineral deposits on this island, he wouldn't have built his territory on this island. ”

Lin Xiao nodded, this boulder island is very close to the Storm Sea, which means that there are more sea beasts, and if you want to establish a territory here, you can't do it without two brushes.

At this point, the trip is basically complete.

Next, it should be to send sea ships to bring these remnants to the Xianhe Territory and become the new people of the Xianhe Territory.

Originally, when he set off, he was still wondering if he was going to forcibly take away the remnants he found, but now it seems that there is no such problem at all.

Come to think of it, they can't wait.

Just as he was about to send a knight back to the Immortal River Territory and bring the ship with him, a crisp but slightly immature voice sounded.

"Grandpa, are they the outsiders that Mrs. Mawson said?"

Lin Xiao turned her head to look, only to find that at some point, at a door in the corner, there was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl standing sweet and cute.

But that's not the point, what really caught Lin Xiao's attention was a red finch standing on the little girl's shoulder.

At this time, the little cardinal's eyes flashed red, as if he was looking at Lin Xiao and the others, looking vivid. And if you look closely, you can see that it is not a living thing, but is made entirely of wood.

"Rune golems?"

Lin Xiao was a little surprised that there was a rune master in this wild territory where survival was difficult.
