Chapter Forty-Five: The Town of Hammond

In the evening, the town was upgraded.

The villagers looked at the tall city wall and were full of pride: "We finally have our own city wall, if those damn demons dare to come, they must not be able to eat and go around!"

The gates of the city are wide open,

Two soldiers wearing silver and white bright armor walked towards Lin Xiu in the sunset: "City Guard No. 038 and No. 039 salute your lordship! Welcome your lordship home!"

"How many of you are there?" Lin Xiu didn't expect that a comprehensive upgrade would automatically issue city guards, which undoubtedly solved the problem in Lin Xiu's mind that he couldn't defend in sections because the city wall was too long.

"Report to your lord, there are 400 city guards. "No. 038 guards report to Lin Xiu.

400 people want to defend a total of 40,000 meters of city wall, it is difficult for a strong man!

No wonder the system does not allow him to build another wall, a wall that is not defended by no one is equivalent to a void, and it will only waste materials.

"Did you stay on the city wall all day? I mean what do you eat?" Lin Xiu asked.

"Back to my lord, we alone will consume 1,000 energy points a month, and these points will be exchanged for money by a 10-person logistics team in the market to buy ingredients, and then make food and give it to the star brother on the city wall. Guard 038 replied truthfully.

1000 energy value, the consumption of 400 people a month is 400,000, if it was before, Lin Xiu really couldn't afford it, but now he still has more than 10 million energy value, and Hammond is also changing for the better, he has no worries about it.

"Good job!" Lin Xiu patted the 038 city guard on the shoulder and led the villagers into the wall.

"Yes!" the No. 038 City Guard looked at Lin Xiu's back and saluted again.

As soon as they entered the wall, the villagers talked more.

"Wow! This road, slate, is actually a slate road!"

There is a small ditch on both sides of the stone road that can be drained, so that there is no need to worry about muddy roads on rainy days.

Some villagers pressed the stone slab under their feet with their feet, and the stone slab did not have any depression, which means that the soil was tamped, and it was not worth it in the eyes of some villagers to build a road with such a big effort, but after all, the renovation project did not require them to pay anything, so no one raised any objections to this.

"I remember there was a small hill there, how did it flat?"

A villager pointed to a small road, where there used to be a small hill, usually the villagers passing here, in order to save energy, will choose to go around this small hill, now that the small slope has been bulldozed, they do not have to take those wrong roads anymore.

"Hey, what did I find? Apple trees! There's a pumpkin garden, and a partridge garden, and... Oh my God, I'm not dreaming, is this really our village?"

Both sides of the road were reclaimed and planted with food, the red apples hung on the branches, the pumpkins larger than the wheels of the car were scattered in the vegetable garden, and the partridge cabbage, which was commonly known as wild vegetables, used to be only picked in the blue forest, now grew densely in a greenhouse.

"There's fish in this pond, what is it? Cowshed! Chicken pen! Oh my God! I can't believe my eyes!"

In addition to vegetables and fruits, Lin Xiu also placed a lot of poultry in the town, which can effectively improve the living standards of the villagers and solve the employment problems of some villagers.

As for the ponds, they are not big, but they are numerous.

More than a dozen ponds of tens of square meters and more than one meter deep can solve the problem of drinking water for livestock on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can also irrigate fruits and vegetables nearby.

Along the way, the villagers were amazed that the original Hammond was just a barren land, and who would have thought that one day it would become the paradise it is today.

What really moved them to tears was when they saw the row of bungalows, all of which were three-bedroom layouts, with red brick walls and white paint, black roofs connected with black tiles, windows in each room to illuminate the room, and a small garden in front of the house.

This kind of house is sturdy, not afraid of wind and rain, the house is warm, will not leak, the room is bright, and there is no need to worry about the quilt covering the worms for a long time.

This house is so beautiful, it is a thousand times better than the previous thatched house, ten thousand times better, if it was before, they would not even dare to think of it, and now they stand in front of them.

"Village Chief, what is this for?"

Sawyer noticed that at intervals there was a strange building, which had only two entrances, not even doors, and a man and a woman were written in the place of the entrances.

"This is the toilet, go inside when you want to take off your pants in the future, don't run around anymore. Lin Xiu explained.

"What are you taking off your pants?" Sawyer looked at Lin Xiu with a malicious smile.

"It's!" Lin Xiu replied angrily.

Sawyer's face immediately turned red in half the sky, and the villagers who followed behind Lin Xiu all burst out laughing when they saw this scene.

"Hey, what is this?"

Lin Xiu led the villagers through the row of bungalows, where there was an extra ancient tree with lush foliage, which was not in Lin Xiu's plan.

Just when Lin Xiu was puzzled, an old man with crane hair and a childish face walked out from behind the ancient tree, the old man was dressed plainly, and his temperament was light, like a hidden master.

"Mayor Mare, I'm the guardian of the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, Marcus Keith, you can call me the Tree Keeper, this is the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, which can make people nearby think faster, and even improve their qualifications if they stay long enough. The old man said, pointing to the ancient tree.

Great stuff!

This should be the real benefit of Adventure Village's upgrade to Adventure Town.

Kyle, who had been studying hard, looked at the ancient tree, his eyes suddenly fell into confusion, and in just a moment, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he exclaimed: "I have found the magic node of the multiple water gun, I can cast the multiple water gun." ”

As the words fell, three water guns appeared in front of Kyle in a zigzag arrangement.

"You've learned how to use multiple water guns!You're a good magician for Team One!" Jerry slapped Kyle on the shoulder in surprise, even though he was now part of Hammond's garrison, he was still a member of Team One.

"Didn't you say that the magic chain is very fragile, and even if you are given ten years, you may not be able to find a stable magic node?

Simmons still remembered that Kyle once said that because everyone's magic strength is different, this kind of thing of finding magic nodes can only be comprehended by himself, and the future of every mage who can cast multiple spells is an infinite genius, could it be that there is a genius in his team after such a while?

"It's given to me. Kyle looked at the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, crossed his fingers in front of his chest, and thanked the Ancient Tree with his heart.

The leaves swayed, and some green dots of light emerged from the ancient tree and seeped into Kyle's body.

"Alright, the Ancient Tree of Knowledge has received your gratitude. Marcus smiled and nodded at Kyle.

"What's the use of such thanks?" Lin Xiu asked Marcus.

"In front of the ancient tree, everything is equal. Seeing Lin Xiu's bewildered expression, Marcus explained: "Prayer and gratitude can allow the knowledge recipient to establish more connections with the Knowledge Ancient Tree, so that the recipient can improve their qualifications faster, and the faith received by the Knowledge Ancient Tree will also be fed back to the entire Hammond." ”

"Feedback to Hammond?" Lin Xiu was shocked and a little confused.

Marcus explained again, "It's a subtle way to make the townsfolk smarter, the plants to grow more luxuriant, and the poultry not to get the plague or anything." ”

So powerful!

Lin Xiu pondered whether to send some guards every day to help Marcus protect the Ancient Tree of Knowledge.

Marcus saw at a glance what Lin Xiu was thinking: "The mayor doesn't have to worry about the safety of the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, with me here, it is enough to protect the Ancient Tree of Knowledge." ”

"Then please. ”

In fact, every system character is powerful, and Lin Xiu's sending people to assist Marcus in guarding the ancient tree is not only useless, but will mess with Marcus's position in the event of an emergency.

There was a square not far from the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, and Lin Xiu took the villagers to the vicinity of the square.

Lin Xiu ascended to the platform in the center of the square with excitement, and said loudly: "Villagers, the renovation project of Hammond has been completed, although it has not been recognized by the kingdom, but now Hammond is already the size of a small town! There are breeding farms, fish ponds, orchards, and vegetable gardens within the town, as long as you are not afraid of hardship and tiredness, you can go to the lady to apply for contracting these places." ”

The villagers applauded enthusiastically, especially the women, whose hands were red and their eyes glistened with tears.

They now finally understand what their village elder meant when he said they would soon have jobs.

With such fertile land, they don't need to work hard to grow high-quality food, including fruits, vegetables, and meat.

Thank you for the blessing of the gods, and thank you Lord Lin Xiu for your kindness!

However, Lin Xiu's speech was not over, he pressed down with his hands to signal the villagers to be quiet: "The newly built houses will be allocated according to the previous living conditions, and Brooke will be responsible for this matter." ”

Although they had speculated before, they still felt that it was so untrue when they heard Lin Xiu personally say about the division of the room at this moment.

The villagers applauded again, and many families hugged each other excitedly, and they finally had a home.

Lin Xiu smiled and waited for the villagers to calm down a little before continuing: "Villagers who want to join the garrison can submit their employment applications to Miss Elsa after dawn tomorrow. ”

The young people in the village were excited, when they used to watch their companions kill the enemy on the front line, but they couldn't do anything about it, their whole hearts were tormented, and now they finally waited for the opportunity.

I can also be a professional, I can be a strong defender, and I can also contribute to the protection of Hammond, who is bound to make a career in the garrison with a clenched fist.

Looking at the slowly darkening sky, Lin Xiu handed Brooke a topographic map of Hammond copied from the system: "Then let's start now!"

Brooke waved the map in his hand and said half-jokingly: "It's getting dark, hurry up, otherwise you will only have to sleep on the street if you don't get a house today." ”

"Sleep on the street, sleep on the street, I've seen it, it's not raining today, there are benches on the side of the road, I brought a mattress out, are you afraid that there will be no place to sleep?"

"Hahahaha. ”
