Chapter 7: Strange Places

The strong men obediently took the order, but when I saw that their digging tools turned out to be wooden shovels, I began to wonder if they would be able to deliver the work on time.

Given the fact that I am a poor egg lord, with my current financial resources, there is simply no way to feed so many mouths to eat, so I can only find another way.

Accompanied by the Guardian of the Dharma, the captain of the guard, Hans, and the castle steward, Wangcai, I once again toured my territory, hoping to find a way to make a fortune.

The traversers in the novel don't discover ancient treasures, they will invent some artifacts beyond the times to sell for money, poor me don't know anything, it's a shame to be a traverser.

At this time, the status quo of the territory is ......

The peasants were in extreme hardship, many adults did not have decent clothes, and men walking the streets were naked, topless, and everywhere.

The level of development of the female lords is equivalent to that of the little sister of the fifth grade in the 21st century, and most of them are not fully evolved, they all live in semi-underground cellars, wooden structures, and the roof is covered with some hay, which is simply unable to withstand the strong wind and harsh winter, which is an important reason why the survival rate of newborns is very low.

The various poultry and livestock scurrying around in the wilderness, I can't tell whose family belongs to whom, and they are completely relying on their survival instinct to forage for food, and the fish ponds and forests are my exclusive territory, and the people cannot get food in these places, which causes their hardship even more.

Walking up to a piece of land that looked flat, I pointed to the land in front of me and asked, "What's that?" ”

"This is a wheat field, sir!"

You call it a wheat field? I won't talk about it if there is no ditch, why is it necessary to spring sow and half of the land has not been turned out?

The medieval way of life was incomprehensible and the productivity was horribly low!

"Half of the land is fallow, used as communal pastures, which is the same farming method as the Roman Empire." Wangcai explained.

"It turned out to be a fallow system, and I vaguely remember that I had learned it in middle school textbooks, and I nodded with a sudden understanding, and my eyes rolled and I remembered another way of farming in books:

"If you turn out another piece of land over there, you will only have one-third of the land left fallow each year, and the rest will be planted with food."

It was much later that I learned that this order had set a precedent for the times, and that it was the first time that I had brought the three-garden fallow system to this era.

After walking around, my eyes were about to jump out, and I didn't find a place where I could open up sources and reduce expenditure, although this territory was rich, but it was not well developed and utilized, and it would be difficult to make fundamental changes for a while, and it seemed that I could only take the opportunistic route that I was best at.

I looked at the vertical and horizontal furrows on Wangcai's face with a serious expression, and asked seriously: "Are there any monuments here, but it looks like something I don't know what it is?" ”

As I spoke, I didn't know what I was going to express, I could only look at my uncle's comprehension.

After a century passed, Wangcai finally breathed a sigh of relief and gave me a positive answer: "Yes!" ”

At this moment, I really felt like I was bathed in holy light.

At this moment, I really think that the door of fate is not closed.

At this moment, I really didn't hesitate to admit that the big hand in the dark was ruthlessly ravaged by me.

This is like Po in Kung Fu Panda, who tirelessly pursues food until he is satisfied with the food he dreams of, happy and short-lived.

Without the slightest hesitation, I immediately grabbed Wangcai and said, "Take me quickly!" ”

Lovely medieval people divided into two kinds of things that were difficult to explain.

One is God's blessing,

One is the devil's trap,

Such a simple division basis represents whether these two things can bring benefits to oneself, and the cave in front of you is obviously the latter.

"You say something unusual is in this?"

I pointed to the dark entrance to the cave, which was hidden under a large tree and could not be spotted without looking closely.

"Yes, sir, this is the Black Cave, the place where ancient wizards prayed for the power of evil." Wangcai said seriously.

"Why is it going to antiquity again? How old is it? "When it comes to history, I'm confused, and that kind of big event that I can't memorize endlessly, has made me lose countless opportunities to watch football.

"Legend has it that in the days of the Celts, there lived a powerful dark wizard in this mountainous area, and his mount was a fire-breathing dragon......"

Wangcai didn't dare to look at the entrance of the cave, so I also felt that the wind blowing out of it was cold, so I had to move to the side.

"This dark wizard is a wicked man, his dragon has destroyed many villages and eaten all those who come to oppose him, and the dark wizard wants to rule the world for immortality, so he hid in a cave and asked the dark god for his soul in exchange."

The myths and stories of the past and present are similar, the bad guys and evil dragons call for heroes or something......

I looked back at the inconspicuous hole, as if something indescribable was calling to me.

"What the dark wizard didn't expect was that a brave warrior was determined to eradicate him, and after receiving the blessing of the god of light, this brave dragon slayer, fought the dark wizard in the cave and finally killed him, and the dark wizard's blood was filthy and rancid, staining the entire cave stone black."

"And then?" I asked.

"Although the dark wizard is dead, but his resentful spirit has not been destroyed, he has been attached to the black stone in the cave, there are many unbelievers who have wanted to go in to explore the mysteries inside, but none of them have ever returned, sometimes you can hear the evil dragon roaring in the cave, even the earth will tremble, this is a cursed cave!"

I see, it's still a ghost story after a long time, I need something special, but I didn't say I want to come here to play my life, my life is precious, and I can't die here.

Having made up my mind, I solemnly said to my two subordinates: "Purifying evil is God's business, and we ordinary people can't just meddle in it, let's go!" ”

In order to maintain a glorious image, I couldn't just run away, so I pretended to be calm and walked leisurely with my hands behind my back, but I was actually scared to death.

The main reason is that in this era of ignorance, the ecological environment is so good, maybe in some specific place, there will really be the remains of ancient life, in case it is really a dinosaur or something, it is a realistic version of Jurassic Park!

I don't want to be like the guy in the movie, sitting on the toilet and being eaten in one bite, and before I have time to wipe the shit off my buttocks, I make a Tyrannosaurus Rex appetizer.

Needless to say, life in the Middle Ages was so backward that a pair of broken shoes didn't even have a lace, so they were tied with a rope around the calf, and they would come loose after a few steps, which made me tired of it.

Squatting down, I can't remember the first time I re-tied my shoes today, but soon an inconspicuous stone at my foot caught my attention.
