At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was cloudy and the light was dark.

Now this situation looks like a scene at seven or eight o'clock in the evening, darkness covers the sky and the earth, and the vision is blurred, and you can only see four or five meters away, and after that, you can't see clearly.

Occasionally, there was a light, and lightning rushed through the blockade of dark clouds and fell to the earth, tearing out a white light in the sky, and then, a thunderous sound fell, like some god roaring, and the ground trembled slightly.

Soon after, the rain poured down.

The soybean-sized raindrops fell obliquely, and with the oncoming wind, Anthony who was sitting in the driver's seat couldn't help but squint his eyes, tighten the poncho he was wearing, and subconsciously pull the reins, so that the horses pulling the cart slowed down the pace of running, and no longer galloped forward as fast as before.

There was only this black carriage on the entire country road.

In such weather, there are not many people who dare to go on the road, if it is an ordinary person, unless there is a big emergency, otherwise, they will definitely choose to stop in a place where they can shelter from the wind and rain, and dare not drive a carriage like Anthony.

The rural roads are equivalent to those secondary roads in Gu Chaoyang's homeland on the water blue star, and they are secondary roads in disrepair, and there are occasional mud puddles or cracks on the ground, in short, they are not very flat.

This is the road from the city of Reims to the countryside.

There are many estates in the countryside of Reims, most of which belong to the old nobles, although the nobles live in the city, and occasionally return to the countryside for summer, hunting, playing, etc., so they still keep the country manors, villas and castles, and now, although the peasants who work on their land are no longer their lords or serfs who can control life and death, but they also respect these nobles.

After all, the land still belonged to the nobles, and the peasants in charge of cultivation were merely tenants, and every year, they had to pay not only agricultural taxes to the state, but also to the nobles.

As a low-level person, life is extremely difficult.

Even so, it's a lot better than before.

This is because the rent of the land and the agricultural tax only occupy one-third of their own income, and the rest of the harvest is enough for them to live, so that they will not die of hunger, cold, cold, cold and starvation, and will not be unable to support those little rabbits, which is much better than more than a hundred years ago, after all, if you can't survive in the countryside, you can still go to the city to work.

Yes, because land is limited, there is only so much land that can be cultivated, and many young farmers choose to move to the cities.

Because the land was often inherited by the eldest son, the second son and the other brothers would have nothing to do if they could not get land from the lord to cultivate, and in that case they would have to leave their homeland and go to work in the city.

This is also the reason why the size of the city and the population of the French Empire have grown rapidly over the decades.

On Aqua Blue, there is a saying that it is called the process of urbanization.

"Where?"

Inside the carriage, there was a sound of talking.

At this time, there was a muffled thunder in the sky, overpowering the sound of wind and rain, and there seemed to be only one voice between heaven and earth, but this voice and thunder sounded at the same time, but the sound was not concealed, and still clearly echoed in Anthony's ears.

"My lord, this is Huo Village, there is still some distance from Rock Village, and now in this weather, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with Rock Village tonight......"

Anthony roared hard.

"Huo Village?"

Inside the carriage, Siakam frowned.

His gaze swept across the carriage, and sitting across from him were three teenagers, Marty, Milo Dravic, and Ryan Charles, three trainee agents, each more silent than the other.

Unexpectedly, I also had a day as a nanny!

In the past, Siakam often laughed at Livingston, saying that he was a kindergarten nanny, who had nothing to do but take care of the children, and that he did not have a colorful life like himself.

Siakam and Livingston were in the same training class, and at that time, their leaders were both Albert Estin, so they were both Albert's people, and they were called Reims locals by outsiders, unlike Lord Fontaine and Johnny, who were called outsiders.

In the entire Iris branch of Reims City, there are three-quarters of the local faction's transcendents, and only a quarter are outsiders, and most of those large number of auxiliary personnel are locals, so the strength of the local faction is particularly strong.

Privately, of course, there is a conflict of interests.

However, when faced with mysterious events, both locals and outsiders will put aside their personal grudges and concentrate on the enemy.

Even if it is an extraordinary person, in the face of a mysterious event, it is difficult to guarantee that the whole body will escape, at this time, you must unite as one, if you pull each other's legs, the consequences are unimaginable.

So, this trip to Rock Village was led by Siakam.

And most of the Iris teams on the Rock Village side are locals, but the leader is Fontaine, who is an outsider.

However, at this time, it is difficult for ordinary people to come in handy, unless it is a knight, it is better not to go near there, with Rock Village as the center, ordinary people within a radius of fifty miles have been sent away, and if they are not sent away, there is no need to send them away, they have all thrown themselves into the arms of God.

The auxiliary personnel are all extraordinary, which is too wasteful.

What's more, the number of Iris Extraordinaires in Reims City is also limited, and it is impossible for all of them to be transferred to Rock Village, after all, the problem on the Rock Village's side is dominated by the Templar, and Iris is just a starter, what is really good, and it is also the Templar to obtain more benefits, so this time, Lord Fontaine asked Siakam to come to the aid, and by the way, he brought a team of implementation agents.

It is called exercise.

Siakam had no other thoughts on this, and had participated in similar operations when he was a trainee agent.

Seeds that are truly resistant to frost cannot be grown in greenhouses.

It's just that Livingston has always led the team personally, but this time it was himself who led the team, and he rarely interacted with these children and didn't know how to get along, especially these three taciturn guys.

Huo Village?

It's that village, right?

"Anthony, is the Huo Village you are talking about?"

Outside the carriage, there was silence for a while before Anthony continued to scream.

"Yes, my lord, it's that Huo Village. ”

It's a bit tricky!

Reaching out to open the curtains, the small glass windows were extremely blurry, and the raindrops were beating, making a series of crackling sounds.

That's all there is to it!

"Let's go into the village and find a place to shelter from the rain, Anthony ......"
