Chapter 0023: The Basics

[You come to Lord Adam's stronghold, and the inhabitants bow and look at you eagerly. 】

The main building is too old, the stone walls are mottled, and the collapsed places are repaired with wooden planks, like dark patches on the wrinkles.

The pattern is not atmospheric enough, but with the current ability, it is good to clean up and live in people.

【Residential (repairable)】

【Residential (Restored, Consume Wood X40 Stone X10)】

……

The former square, which had become a "ruin", has now been carved out of the respective areas of the houses, and the stones that were once scattered and abandoned have been rearranged, polished and piled up.

【Stone X30】

[Growth: +45/day]

At present, there is a lack of tools to collect stones, and the stones that can be found in the vicinity are still far away, mostly in the lower river valleys, some distance away.

The square frame is pulled out by vines on the ground, and the residential area is expanded and changed again, making it more standardized and neat, and a carriage and cargo area is also reserved.

[Residential (under construction, consume wood x100 stone x40)]

The uneven gravel road was filled with mud, planked, and improvised horse paths were created to lead to rows of tethered posts, neatly stacked with hay, and fed by people.

【Leaky Stables (under repair)】

Adam returned to the stronghold and began to inspect the progress of the reconstruction, distributing the tools on the cart and repairing the key places.

[Consumables: Iron buckle X1 Required tool: Iron hammer (achieved)]

This was one of the reasons he went to Mathew Village, where a lot of work was stalled due to the lack of tools.

They can only use the spoils of war such as [Gapping Axe] and [Long Pole Knife] to work, which is not efficient and has serious losses.

At present, there are not many intact houses in the stronghold, most of them are supporting new wood, and they have not yet been completed, and the sound of stones smashing one after another.

[Population: 103]

【Prosperity:E】

Adam's original army, by the time it was officially occupied, had been fully assigned to the population.

But in reality, less than seventy people were actually able to spend the night at the base, and the rest were assigned to the periphery to stand guard in shifts or rest in hunting camps.

This is the only measure in Adam's training thinking that can improve the team's data.

The displaced people did not complain at all, because the half-month-long migration of life and death has made them deeply remember - harvest and work are accompanied.

"The work is well done, and the person in charge of the project has a lot of brains."

The blacksmith squatted on the ground, pinching the strips of wood for marking and shaking like cotton, he was a craftsman, and he had the same idea of work, and could easily read the plan of the entire dwelling.

"You'd never think it's been a week."

"Hell, that's faster than the progress of hard labor!"

"Of course!"

The middle-aged man who accosted him unbuttoned the hemp shirt around his waist, wiped the sweat off his face like washing his face, gasped for breath, and spoke proudly.

"No slacker will be lazy, everyone is very energetic."

Residents know that they have a sense of certainty in their destiny only if they give, rather than relying on prayer and migration to escape their lives, as they did before.

There are many homeless people who are content with the status quo, and most of the people who are accepted by Anton Weisen today have this kind of thinking.

Buildings would be burned and crops would be looted, so there were few examples of villages outside the big towns that could thrive.

In the midst of repeated loss, people learned to live a bad life, cope with hard labor, and no longer strive to improve and develop, and this is how the gap between the rich and the poor on the mainland was born.

But this did not exist in the colony, where they trusted their lords and lived in peace unleashed the pent-up creativity of their lords.

The weight of the axe in the hand, the stacks of consumables, the trees that fell in response, the crowd of people working in them......

The forest surrounding the colony is cleared of a full arc, and the light is strengthened, and the morning light and the remnant sun can envelop the colony, giving hope to the slowly building homeland.

【Wood X45】

[Growth: +246/day]

The crudely cut planks were neatly arranged in groups, and Adam was able to check the quality of the work with a glance at the notes, and as they say, no one was lazy.

"Hammer one, come and see this."

Adam whispered, and the blacksmith rose and approached, as mighty as a walking stone wall.

【Broken Iron Sword】

[Broken Armor]

【Stirrup (damaged)】

……

After the harvest of these days, after arming the troops, there are still some broken copper and iron, which are discarded here.

"There is not much wool, and it can be made into a saw when it is melted. The wood you cut is too rough, and if you don't plaster it, the winter snow will bring wind and pour in along the cracks, and you can cut off your ears. ”

The blacksmith said that he needed to weave a rope, and Adam called a few women to discuss it—a delicate and tedious work in which women were more reliable than men.

"Oh my God, did you see that?"

"Who is she?"

"The lord's woman, lo and behold, smiled at her."

……

Adam's hearing is very keen, and in fact, his stats have improved by half a month in the mountains, and he can already calmly face most of the difficulties.

[Qualification: Body 3.0 Intelligence 3.2]

【Quality:C】

The lordship was formalized at the feast, and his qualities were enhanced, and grasping the idea was far more secure than holding the hilt of the sword.

Luka Monk is one of the more capable players in the team, but his stats are mediocre.

[Qualification: Body 1.7 Intelligence 1.2]

【Quality:-】

Adam would occasionally inspect the team.

When he knocked over Luca's team with a wooden stick in the square lit by the campfire, the onlookers did not hesitate to praise and applaud enthusiastically.

They should only be loyal lords, strong and brave.

And Adam himself understands deeply - C-class, above ordinary people.

Before reaching the top, climbers are always in awe.

B and other qualities, or even higher, what kind of monsters are waiting for them?

Lord, it's the tuyere, which ship on the sea can avoid thunderstorms? Every wave will bury some stories, and in the abyss of history, countless legends are silent.

There is no shortage of talented people in human form, bloodlines and inheritances, arcane evolutions, and mixed populations......

"Tsk, headache."

"Your Excellency, do you want to rest first?"

Adam shook his head and turned his attention back to the stump in front of him, the axe swinging rhythmically, the thud of which would startle more birds before the first saws were born.

"Where did you just go?"

"Look at this soil, as long as you sprinkle a little Luo duck blood, you can grow the best flax, and the ears of wheat and cotton are enough to feed the workshop! However, we don't have anything to dig up the roots of the tree and grow it. ”

Adam ran all afternoon about it, bringing back a hollowed-out piece of wood with a saddle tied to the saddle before dinner.

He shook out the knuckle-thick white worms and distributed them to each new stump, pouring the diluted sap evenly around him, and kept explaining to the people next to him.

"It's called the tree ant, and the bark of the tree is their food, and the potion stimulates ......"

The insects trembled, and the stump sizzled as if it were corroded, and quickly dented into a pile of wood, which foamed and fluffy like brown bread in the stove.

"After waiting for two days, only the bark remains, and burying it in the soil can fertilize the field."

Adam frowned and kneaded his swollen head, the night was getting dark, the wind was mixed with woody and damp, and the sound of water by the river was heard, and he waved his arms in that direction.

"Starting tomorrow, cut down this forest first, and the stump will be treated in this way. Before the winter snow falls, I want to see the ridges lining up the riverbank. ”

Well?

The militia opened his mouth excitedly, but there was no sound, and his forehead was hot and painful, and his movements were out of order.

Only then did Adam realize that the [character's] health value had already passed half, and what had happened during this time, he didn't realize that he was being injured!

Secret arts?

Still is......

Bang.

The lord fell straight to the ground, and half of the stronghold's men were rushing here.

[You don't remember the last time you ate or slept until you lost consciousness.] 】
