Chapter 1: Hammond
This is the second month after Lin Xiu's crossing.
In the thatched hut, Lin Xiu held his chin with one hand, sat on the wooden board erected by two stones, and listened to the young guardian knight beside him report on the recent situation in the village with a sad face:
"Lord Lin Xiu, there are two new children born this month, but the children of the Ulu couple are too poor in physique and died at birth. ”
"The villagers who entered the Great Azure Forest to hunt brought back some meat, and this winter should be a little better, but because of the sneak attack of the goblins, the villagers Master and Roda were seriously injured, and if they are not treated, I am afraid they will not last for 3 days. ”
"And according to the news brought back by the old fisherman Charry, the Endless Sea will usher in a large high tide once every six months in the near future, and the Tidal Fishmen will definitely take this opportunity to attack our village, are we going to enter the Long Wind Fortress to seek refuge?"
Lin Xiu has been in the post of Hammond Village Chief for less than two months, and the chores during this period have given him a splitting headache.
Hammond is a small village on the northwestern edge of the kingdom of Odo, farther north is the Great Blue Forest, and farther west is the Endless Sea.
In this fantasy world, the forest and the sea are full of more opportunities, but also more dangers, whether it is a goblin or a tidal fish-man, it is enough to bring disaster to Hammond.
However, in order to survive, Lin Xiu could not order the villagers to be forbidden to enter the forest and the sea, and the only thing he could do was to try his best to repair this shattered small village.
"How many golden dragons do we have in our hands now?" Lin Xiu sighed and asked the guardian knight in front of him.
This guardian knight's name is Chris, and he is the titular marquis father of Lin Xiu's body, who was placed by Lin Xiu's side before he died.
After the death of the marquis's father, the eldest son of the marquis, who inherited the title, that is, Lin Xiu's eldest brother Moric, immediately found an excuse to expel Lin Xiu and his guardian knights here.
Hearing Lin Xiu's question, Chris took out the money bag from his arms: "There are still 4 golden dragons and 35 silver wolves left, if you want to send Master and them to Changfeng Fortress for treatment, I can..."
Lin Xiu waved his hand to interrupt Chris's next words: "No, you are now the only professional in the village, and if there are monsters invading the village, you are still required to lead the villagers to fight against monsters." ”
"But, Lord Lin Xiu, you are the son of the Marquis!" Chris was still persuading.
"Not anymore, and what's the use of a title in this place? How many people here are not descendants of nobles?" Lin Xiu already knew through the memory in his mind that this village was the designated place for the exile of the descendants of the nobles who 'committed crimes', and it was because he was a little older that he was assigned the title of village chief.
"Leave ten silver wolves for Ulu, give me the rest of the money, and help me find a cart, two strong villagers will come, and I will take Master and them to the Changfeng Fortress for medical treatment. Lin Xiu said.
Chris clenched his fists, very unwilling in his heart, not because he followed a lost adult, but because he was angry at his lack of strength.
Taking out 10 silver wolves, Chris handed out the money bag with trembling arms.
Taking the money bag, Lin Xiu grabbed the leather coat that was placed on the head of the bed as a pillow, and was about to go out, when a cold mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind:
[The presence of precious metals has been detected, and it has been automatically converted into system energy value.] 】
【Adventurer's Territory System Activated】
Lin Xiu's hand was light, and he subconsciously repeated: "Adventurer's territory?"
Lin Xiu's pupils slowly widened.
In front of him, a translucent map unfolded, showing the terrain around Hammond.
To the north is a dark green blue forest, to the west is a dark blue endless sea, representing more than 50 thatched houses in Hammond scattered yellow dots scattered at the corner of dark blue and dark green, Lin Xiu's thatched houses are located in the south of the village, the houses are marked with the words of the lord's house and shine dazzlingly.
The lord's mansion of a thatched house is really downcast.
On the left side of the map is the number of people in the village: 186.
There is a flashing exclamation point underneath the number of people.
This symbol is usually associated with a warning meaning.
Lin Xiu stretched out his hand and clicked at the exclamation mark, and a dialog box immediately popped up:
[Villagers Master and Roda are dying and need immediate treatment. 】
Sure enough, the condition of these two people could not be delayed any longer, but Jin Long ......
Close the dialog box, and Chris's nervous face appeared behind the translucent screen: "Lord Lin Xiu, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay", Lin Xiu put away his fingers pointing into the air, and said stubbornly: "Master, their condition is very bad, they must be treated as soon as possible, hurry up and do what I told you!"
Seeing that Lin Xiu was back to normal, Chris breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, answered, and left the room with the heavy sound of iron boots hitting the ground.
After Chris left, Lin Xiu immediately closed the door and tied the wooden bolt.
With excitement, reopen the adventurer system.
This is the golden finger that has been waiting for two months to appear, and it must be powerful!
There was no system before, he could only watch the newborn baby die, and watch the villagers who hunted die because of their injuries, although he had done his best to comfort the villagers who were still alive, but he knew that his comfort was so powerless, both mentally and materially.
In order to resist the pain of hunger, the villagers have wrapped their belts around their belts, they have lost hope for the future, and all they can do is live and live.
But for Lin Xiu, a traverser, after the beauty of the previous life, he couldn't live like others just to fill his stomach all day long.
He wants to see the smiling faces on people's faces, he wants to see the picture of everyone working together for the same dream, and he wants to see lovers finally married.
The last one is crossed out, and he is a single dog, and there is no reason to want to see the picture of dog abuse.
Press heavily towards the village chief's hut icon.
It's a brand new interface.
A number of black icons appear in the middle of the screen, but most of them are chained, and there is only one icon that is not locked: the Healing Facility.
Lin Xiu's eyes lit up, this treatment center was exactly what he needed, and without any hesitation, he clicked on the treatment center icon.
[5000 energy points required to build a healing, whether to build it or not.] Yes / No]
Only then did Lin Xiu notice that there was an energy value display in the upper left corner of the construction interface, with a total of 32,500 points.
If a Bronze Eagle is exchanged for one energy point, then he should have 42,500 energy points, so it costs 1 gold dragon just to turn on the system.
The opening cost of a golden dragon was enough to make Lin Xiu's flesh hurt, but he didn't dwell too much on this matter, compared to the injuries of the two masters, building a treatment center was the top priority.
Click OK.
The screen returned to the upper level of the interface, and a green square appeared under Lin Xiu's fingers, Lin Xiu, who had played a lot of strategy games before, knew that this was asking him to choose a construction site.
Lins thought for a moment, and placed the treatment room on the northwest side of the village.
As soon as the finger was pressed, there was a roar outside the room.
Lin Xiu walked out of the door, and a towering curtain suddenly rose to the northwest of the village.
A rumbling sound rang out from inside the veil.
