Chapter 6 Baixi Village

Baixi Village, as its name suggests, stands at the head of the village and can see a stream running through the village, and under the reflection of the sun, the stream undulates like a white belt.

The architecture of the Thunderman Territory is distinctive, while the lofts in the towns are different from the farmhouses in the countryside. For example, most of the houses in Baixi Village were all wooden structures in the past, and only a few were attics made of earth and stone. Due to the long exposure to the sun and rain, most of these houses have a gray hue. Except for a few two-story attics with earth and stone foundations, the rest have only one floor.

The roofs of these houses are all topped with dried wheat straw, which looks golden in the past. The reason why the roof is covered with wheat straw is related to the extremely cold winter of Lei Man. Among the ten major realms of the Dawson Federation, the Grand Duchess of Rayman is undoubtedly the northernmost, bordering Karachi in the north. In order to keep out the cold, the clever Lei Man people covered the roof of their house with dry wheat straw, and in the summer, they could remove this layer of wheat straw, so that the house could almost be warm in winter and cool in summer. It's late autumn now, so families have replaced their houses with this year's newly beaten wheat straw.

The perimeter of Baixi Village is surrounded by a stone wall, the main body of which is a large piece of bluestone, which is poured together by a special kind of mud, which is very strong and solid. The stone wall is nearly three meters high, and there are narrow passageways in the wall, which are convenient for sentries to patrol.

Leitch stood at the head of the village and did not immediately go in, for he had already seen a sentry with a bow and arrow coming towards him. At the same time, he was still pondering, and the word Baixi reminded him of a person in the regiment, Arthur Baixi, one of the five squad leaders of the Troll Mercenary Regiment, a third-level brave. Like him, he also joined the Troll Mercenary Group this year, but his seniority is a little older than him.

Leitch had been struggling to figure out how to solve the problem of the Troll Mercenary Group, but now he seemed to have a clue.

"Hello, honorable mage!" the sentry looked young, with the traditional Dodd blond blue eyes, and his hair slightly curled, looking like a big boy next door, and Leitch estimated that he was three or four years younger than himself.

There are people of all colors in the territory of Leiman, the yellow race is mainly Ankara, such as Lechi, and the white race is mainly Dodd, such as the Grand Duke of Leiman.

"Hello, this is my nameplate. Leitch smiled back as he pulled a three-finger-sized iron plate from his waist and handed it to the other party.

This small iron plate is the nameplate in Leqi's mouth, which is equivalent to the ID card of the previous life. The nameplate is issued by the Lord's Mansion of the main city to which the individual belongs, and it records some basic information and avatars of the individual. In Leqi's opinion, the avatar on the nameplate is no worse than the high-definition photos of his previous life, which is the effect of the alchemy equipment.

Leitch wasn't too surprised by this, magic had developed for tens of thousands of years during the Fast period alone, reaching an incredible height, not to mention this kind of mirrored gadget, but also the almost miraculous Sky City, the Crystal Palace under the Sea, and the Volcano Fortress and the like!

"It's a pity that I can't witness the Third Age with my own eyes!" Reich couldn't help but sigh heavily in his heart when he remembered that the magical civilization was now in great decline compared to the Fast period.

This is not only Rykey's sigh, but also the regret of all mages today.

"Hey, Master Mage, you're from Thunderman City, so do you know Arthur Baixi, he joined the Troll Mercenary Regiment at the beginning of the year!" After discovering that Ray was from Thunderman City, the young sentry's attitude suddenly became a lot more kind, and his face was full of admiration when he mentioned Arthur, and then he scratched his head and smiled, "By the way, you can call me Yari, Master Mage!"

When Ari mentioned Arthur, a smile tugged at the corners of Rich's mouth, and now he had a general idea of how to deal with the troll mercenary group.

In fact, Yari's question seems very naïve, there are millions of people in Thunderman City, and nearly half of them are awakened. Arthur is now just an inconspicuous third-level brave, and the Troll Mercenary Group is just an inconspicuous small mercenary group in the lower city. If it weren't for the fact that Leitch and a mercenary group coincidentally, it would be almost impossible for the two to get to know each other.

"Recognize. Leitch replied with a smile, but he didn't say that he was also from the Troll Mercenary Regiment. Since Arthur is from here, he thinks that if he gets to know himself secretly, there may be a windfall.

"Ari, do you admire Arthur?" Thinking with that, Retch began to talk to Ally without a trace.

"That's right, Brother Arthur is the youngest warrior in our village now! Don't look at Brother Arthur is thin and weak, it looks like a gust of wind can make him roll a few rolls, but since the awakening of the star soul, a hundred pounds of iron rods are like burning sticks in his hands! I don't know if the star soul will awaken when I reach the age of eighteen, and the flowers in the Iron Egg Village are ******like flowers."

"Ari, who are there in Arthur's family?" Leitch didn't expect this simple-looking young man to be quite able to talk, and when he realized that Ally was getting farther and farther away, and the more unreliable he was, his head couldn't help but start to have black lines, and finally he had to quietly pull the topic back to his interest.

"At home, Uncle Shym, Brother Arthur's father, is a blacksmith in the village, and the doughnuts made by Arthur's mother, Aunt Jenny, are the best in the village! In addition, Arthur also has a fifteen-year-old sister Jona, Arthur loves Jona the most, and every time Joanna is bullied after an hour, Arthur picks up and carries bricks and rushes up to do it! Every time I see Brother Arthur stomp on someone's face with his foot, I immediately feel like I have been beaten with chicken ******blood." As if thinking of the excitement, Ari's face flushed with blood.

"When does Arthur usually come back?" Looking at this nagging boy who didn't match his appearance at all, Leitch was speechless.

"I come back about once a month, and Brother Arthur is very filial, and every month he gives Uncle Shem fifty silver coins, and from time to time he brings back a large bag of gifts! I especially like that red mountain ham, and the first time I smell it, I can't walk at all!"

"Haha, I see how much you like it, when I get back to the city, I'll buy one for Arthur to bring to you next time he comes back!" However, he also knew that Red Mountain ham was not cheap, one cost ten silver coins, and like an ordinary family of three, thirty copper coins were enough to spend a day, and ten silver coins were enough to cover their expenses for a month.

At the same time, Ricky thought to himself what Ari had just said. The monthly money of the ordinary mercenaries of the Troll Mercenary Regiment is twenty silver coins, and the monthly income of the squad leader is one gold coin. Of course, if you contribute to the group, you will get additional rewards. Although the regiment provides food and accommodation to the mercenaries at the level of the squad leader, Arthur takes half of the monthly money home every month, which is indeed very filial.

"Really, that's so thankful to Master Mage!" Ari didn't expect Leitch to be so generous, and he was a little dizzy when he was smashed by the suddenly falling pie, but then he was embarrassed to excuse himself, "Thank you, Lord for your kindness, but I still can't accept it, it's too valuable." ”

"You can rest assured to accept it, this money is nothing to me, just take it as a meeting gift from me. Also, don't call me an adult, I'm only a few years older than you, if you don't dislike it, you can just call me Brother Leitch. Seeing that Ally was so simple, Leitch had a better impression of him.

"Ray, Big Brother Leech!"

"Hah!" Looking at Yari's entangled face, Leitch couldn't help but be happy.

Seeing this, Yali scratched his head even more embarrassedly, but with a roll of his eyes, Yali shouted excitedly: "By the way, today is the thirteenth, it is estimated that in another day, Brother Arthur should come back!"

After chatting with Ari for a while, and getting the information he wanted, Richie sent him away, after all, he also had to patrol the sentry.

Lei Qi learned that there were more than 200 households in Baixi Village, with a population of more than 1,000, and there were more than 20 Star Soul Awakenings. However, these twenty or so people are all low-level warriors, and they have not broken through to the demon slayer level at present. Arthur is the youngest, and it has not been a year since the awakening of the Star Soul. There are not many soldiers who usually stay in the village, and most of them are working as servants in various main cities, after all, Baixi Village is just a small mountain village, and there is no way to make money.

The village of Baixi is small, but it has a lot of resources, with a tavern, a grocery store, a blacksmith shop, and even a lumberyard. This lumberyard is not something that can be opened by anyone who wants to, and it must be authorized by the city lord's mansion in the territory where it is located.

Now that Leitch wants to sell the two pieces of iron armor in his hand, he has two options, one is a grocery store, or a blacksmith shop. After thinking about it, he finally chose the grocery store because he felt that it was not the best time to deal with Arthur's family. And more importantly, according to Ari, the grocery store actually sells spell books, which is undoubtedly what he needs and is most interested in right now.

The grocery store is not hard to find, it is one of the few two-story attics in the village, and there is a wooden sign in front of the attic with a large pile of gold coins, which is the sign of the store. If you use it as a tavern, you will often have a large shot glass painted on the wooden sign, and an iron drill table in the blacksmith shop.

Now that the sky has completely darkened, the lights are on in every house, and there are hardly any pedestrians on the road, it is estimated that the whole family is now having dinner. When I think of other people's families eating dinner happily and telling pleasant jokes, while I am alone in another world, I can't help but feel lonely for a while******

When Leitch walked into the grocery store, there was only one owner in the store, a middle-aged man with a mustache. The grocery store owner found out that it was a mage who had entered, and his eyes lit up.

If you ask which person on the mainland is the richest, it is estimated that nine out of ten answers are mages, and the rest are either behind the ears or have not woken up. Especially since this was a mage who could afford to wear a mage's robe, and the grocery store owner with a shrewd mustache seemed to have seen countless gold coins throwing him winks.

"I said why the lights in my house were ten times brighter than usual tonight, because of your presence, Master Mage, which made the little shop shine!" the shopkeeper made an exaggerated courtesy, with a smile on his face, and continued in a tone of great enthusiasm, "Allow me to introduce myself, contemptible John, John Sheridan, the owner of the White Creek Grocery Store. ”

Leitch turned a blind eye to John's enthusiasm, and casually glanced at the grocery store, looking rather disappointed, as if saying to himself: "Sure enough, it's a small shop, and it probably can't meet my needs, so I'd better go to the blacksmith shop first." ”

Seeing Leitch really turn around and walk out, John's smile suddenly froze on his face, and at the same time, his brain was a little short-circuited - I rub it, why is this plot a little wrong?!
