Disturbed.

Something is going to happen.

[You wake up from the aftertaste of your dreams, clench your lord's ring, frown and ponder. 】

Adam wanted to catch up with the whispering thoughts he had just had.

But it faded away like quicksand, like a dream that is completely forgotten after every morning.

The longer you survive and the more you experience, the more you can't ignore fleeting inspirations.

Until lunch, he was still thinking about it.

Some kind of threat is slowly approaching, and the lord ring will actually take the initiative to warn, but if you think about it carefully, you feel that it is very far away, and it doesn't seem to be what is going to happen at the moment.

"Sir, the pieces of meat are going to be cold."

Jane knocked on the small table.

Adam glanced warily at the past, and then instantly retracted his sharpness and smiled with a measured smile.

"Okay, there's something you can't miss."

Marmots and mitquirrels are similar in appearance.

It's just the size of a tabletop, the fur is tough and firm, the fat content is not high, and the lean flesh wraps the thick bones.

They were once recorded in the classics because of their layered taste, and over the years they have evolved to become more powerful and burly.

This kind of example is very common on the continent of Kundia, for example, in recent years, the brown snake has developed thin legs and began to drag its prey, developing in the direction of the lizard.

The whole world is evolving imperceptibly.

People gradually get used to the weird and absurd, and fall into crude and primitive desires.

Countless races have risen and fallen in history, like a bowl of thick soup, which changes color over time, the handle of the spoon stirs, and the ingredients swell with the whirlpool.

"Sir, sir?"

Jane approached the bar and gently lowered the barrel she was holding.

"Is there something bad about it, you're in a daze again."

Adam chuckled and shook his head, putting the food in his mouth, compared to Taega Tatsukata [Restaurant LV3], the roasting process is slightly rough, and the taste is also dry.

"It tastes great, is there anything else good?"

Jane pressed the iron handle against the barrel, as if gritting her teeth with a faint force.

Boer~

The oak sleeve is broken, and the aroma of wine spreads.

【Kuha (new)】

"Wait a minute, this is my first batch of finished products, I need to try it first."

She took two sips with a long spoon, which was spicy and irritating, and her mouth was full of the smell of wine.

"Ahem, it's okay."

Adam grabbed the rim of the barrel with his big hand and poured it down his throat.

This is much purer and cleaner than the defective products in the molars tavern that are doped with a musty and sour taste.

"Jane, what I learned from old Jamie?"

"Well, that's right, and my uncle gave me a lot of gifts. By the way, why haven't you seen Lukka since he gave me something yesterday? ”

"Luca is busy."

Adam drank again, and his tone was calm and convincing.

"One more thing, would you like old Jamie to live in the stronghold, the tavern can't always be managed by the bartender, there must be a boss who knows the craft."

"Really? Of course I do. Uncle Jamie was absolutely fine, both the bread and the specialties were excellent. ”

After a while, she stood silent.

I feel that I am a little arrogant, after all, the lord is the holder of the stronghold.

Adam didn't care, put the cask back on the table, and in a moment, all the high-grade wine was gone.

Jane blinked, pursed her lips and said nothing, slightly surprised in her heart.

……

Adam sent cavalry to the village of Matthew, and there were two wagons to carry sundries.

As the caravan extended, several surrounding villages had been gradually opened, and although he had never set foot to observe, judging from the list of transactions that had been fed back, none of them were wealthy.

【Hat Station】LV1

【Taigang Dashang Station (Opened)】

[Number of villages visited: 7]

[Gold: 94K]

[Growth: +2915/day]

Far from Taiganda, it was difficult for the town trade to radiate here.

Even if there is occasional contact, it will be disturbed and interfered with by [Beasts], [Spirits] and [Monsters] along the way, and it will not be able to develop steadily.

Adam's trade route, maintained by the militia, coupled with Sean's distraction, slowly established credibility and made several surrounding villages complement each other's needs.

The two horse dealers were quite effective, and during this time, they were constantly transporting various goods, and in addition to connecting the warlords and nobles, almost all of them contributed goods to the stronghold.

Sean was very thoughtful, and he paid the merchants to keep the matter a secret, and asked them to provide reports of the villages along the way.

【Rumors of SynTao (Read)】

["There are several villages around the stronghold, which are already overly impoverished. The merchant exchanged a large amount of seeds for other food, and the other party was very grateful and asked to settle in the stronghold, requiring the lord's approval. ”】

Adam naturally agreed, and the current population of the stronghold was still worrisome.

But this matter is not in a hurry, he looked at the [ridges] that were beginning to take shape, and then thought of the food in the granary that could only last for a month, and fell into a tangle.

Lin Hai is like a dark carpet, covering the brown earth.

After years of wind and rain erosion, it eventually spread and grew unscrupulously, and the stronghold was exposed in the center like a hole.

The militia, on order, cut down and removed the piles, creating a gap along the river bank from the residential area.

"It took nearly half a month for Taigangda to go back and forth."

As Adam walked down the dirt road, he watched as they turned over the soil with brand-new farming tools and mixed animal entrails and animal blood to increase the fertility of the soil.

After careful consideration, he changed the direction of the felling of the forest area and built the lumber yard next to the side path.

[Cutting down obstacles can open up roads.] 】

[Connecting to the main road will expose the stronghold, and more people will pass through it.] The final number of stays depends on the level of prestige. 】

"All the work in the stronghold is speeding up, and I'm going to finish this phase before the lord's banquet."

"There are enough dwellings, keep the sentry post and some field camps, suspend all work to clean up monsters, and make every effort to open up the fields."

"Stockpiling timber and waiting for winter to come, start building a mill next to the fields."

The militia was enthusiastically arranged, and the stronghold was about to open to the outside world, which was no small matter.

With the development of the economy, there will be more and more iron ore that can be bought, and finally the gray channel can be swallowed whole, without giving it to others to eat.

【Blacksmith Shop LV2】

Although the big man relies on superb technology to support the level.

But labor is always in short supply, and the supply of various tools is already the limit.

In the future, if the army is further expanded and various weapons are created, they must be mass-produced.

"Hey, no matter what, you still need a population base."

Adam walked along the way, strolling along the special horse path, and the village women were busy with baskets in their arms, nodding to the lord.

They harvest wild plants along the riverbank, dry them and store them as winter fodder.

【Wooden stables (total: 26)】

【Pack Horse:14】

[Horse Race: 2]

[War Horse: 10]

The Iron Cavalry of the Empire trampled on the plains, and it was the romance and ambition of almost every man.

But not to mention the fact that the stronghold is in a mountainous area and the reality of poverty and embarrassment cannot support this dream.

Adam moved his fingers and thought vividly: the stronghold did not follow the kingdom route, and the crowd strategy was unrealistic. If you want to make up for the gap in combat effectiveness in a short period of time, you have to think of other methods.
