It takes three hundred prosperity for a second-order village to be promoted to a third-order village, and Qin Fan now seems to have no other way than to build a wooden house and repair the wall, which makes Qin Fan a little idle, he can only stay in the ancestral temple and slowly brush up talents.

Brushing and brushing, suddenly a new profession appeared in the overview.

"Wandering merchants?"

Qin Fan was immediately interested when he saw these two words, this traveling merchant belonged to the Black Valley, and this guy was quite good, he was not under Qin Fan's command at all, so he had to go to the Black Valley in person.

After climbing a mountain, Qin Fan's tired vest was soaked, and he finally arrived at the Black Valley.

Traveling merchants are special refugees who only temporarily live in fiefdoms and do not settle down. What Qin Fan saw was a middle-aged man in a green robe, tall, but very thin, with a beard more than a foot long.

"Village Chief! The villain has some goods, I wonder if the village chief is interested? When You Shang saw Qin Fan, he took the initiative to come up and said with a smile.

"Goods? What cargo? Qin Fan asked, it seems that the traveling merchant should be a wandering businessman, a country merchant?

However, when Qin Fan saw the things that the traveling merchant took out, he immediately understood that this guy was not an ordinary merchant.

I saw that the wandering merchant took out a few scrolls from his cuffs and handed them to Qin Fan, all of which were in a shared state and could not be put into a backpack or used.

The first scroll, Qin Fan was very interested.

Tamer Conversion Scroll: Use this scroll to convert any Orion into a Tammer, and the Tamer can domesticate, captive, and breed wild animals.

"That's a good thing!" Qin Fan was very surprised, with the domesticator, he could turn the captured hares, pheasants and even wild deer and wolves into domesticated, and after a long time, the food source became very stable, and even could be sold.

"Dare to ask how this Tamer scroll is sold?"

"Only twenty silver!" The traveling merchant looked like my goods were so cheap.

"Twenty silver ......" Qin Fan silently looked at his pocket, before the Black Valley thieves were exterminated, even the copper coins exploded by the leader were not fifty copper plates until now, and twenty silver was simply the same as an astronomical amount.

"Uh...... I can't afford ......" Qin Fan said helplessly, the place is barren, and even the thieves are too poor to open the pot.

"Dare to ask the village chief how much money he has to spare?" You Shang also looked disgusted, but he didn't seem to want to run in vain, so he asked again.

"Forty copper, I don't know what I can buy?"

"Forty copper?" When the wandering merchant heard this number, his head grew bigger, and he sighed and said, "Village Elder, you are really too poor, and I only have one copy of this ...... for forty copper goods."

The merchant took out a booklet bound with a few words printed on the cyan cover: Atlas of Shuttered Waterwheels.

This Atlas of Shutter Waterwheels is a carpenter's drawing, and second-order carpenters can make shutter waterwheels that can be used to irrigate farmland, increasing the supply of farmland by 5% per unit.

Seems to be somewhat useful...... At present, Qin Fan has arranged three second-order farmers, two in Heishan Valley and one in Tianya Village. In addition to increasing prosperity, the waterwheel also saved a farmer's manpower.

After the transaction was completed, the wandering merchant left directly, and he gave the atlas of the Hundred Leaf Waterwheel to the third-order carpenter, and asked him to choose a site to build on the river outside the Black Valley Stream and Tianya Village.

In the evening, all the hunters and fishermen came back with the harvest and began to live and cook, Qin Fan had just returned to the village when he heard a sudden sound of horses' hooves galloping outside the village, followed by the neighing of horses at the entrance of the village.

"Little ones! Loot this village for me! Kill all the men, and bring all the women back to me! Hahahaha!! ”

A lewd and arrogant laughter made Qin Fan suddenly scream that it was not good, and as soon as he came out of the ancestral hall, he saw more than 20 burly men riding tall horses and holding scimitars and axes jumping in from the unrepaired wall, and rushed towards the carpenters who were building houses.

Between the swords and flints, Qin Fan saw several carpenters being hacked to death with several knives, and then pounced on the woodcutter and the others who were gathering together to prepare dinner.

"! Horse bandits! ”

Qin Fan was shocked, and the system came one after another with the news that his villagers had been killed by horse bandits, and he hurriedly opened the overview and began to brush the knights. At this time, there are still twenty places in Tianya Village, and no matter how many levels of knights or hunters he has, he will recruit them all.

By the time more than a dozen knights rushed in from the entrance of the village, the horse bandits had already relied on the impact of their horses to kill the people outside the house. In order to deal with the villagers who hid in the wooden houses, the horse bandits actually started to set fire to the houses.

"I wipe Nima! Kill them for me! ”

The wooden houses were all built in two days, if they were all burned down by the horse bandits, the level would fall, Qin Fan didn't want to waste it in vain.

However, Qin Fan underestimated the strength of this gang of horse bandits, more than a dozen first-order knights rushed forward, and one of them was knocked to the ground by the war horse, and the horse bandits took advantage of the situation to make up for the knife, and half of the people were lost in an instant.

"Mom! Why are labor and management so unlucky, such a remote place is either a thief or a horse bandit! ”

However, the knights were not without the power to resist, several knights unloaded the front legs of the two war horses and put down the horse bandits, and the combat effectiveness of the horse bandits on the ground was similar to that of the bandits, and they were slashed by the surviving knights with swords.

It's just that the horse bandits are outnumbered, and they sprint back and forth twice, and all the knights they just recruited hung up.

Qin Fan roared angrily: "Mah! Labor and management let you know what a war of attrition is! ”

Within a few minutes, Qin Fan brushed out another group of knights, and they rushed into the group of horse bandits without fear of death, preventing the horse bandits from setting fire to the house. Unfortunately, several wooden houses were set on fire one after another, and the carpenters inside were forced out by the fire and were soon killed by horse bandits.

After sending three or four waves of heads in a row, Qin Fan was finally pleasantly surprised to see a third-order knight appear, only to see a knight with a hat and a gray cloth shirt jumping in from outside the courtyard wall, grabbed the clothes of the horse bandit who was running by, and kicked the horse bandit down with one kick.

"Cow Pi!" Seeing this, Qin Fan couldn't help but burst into foul language, finally there was one who could fight. Taking advantage of the sudden entry of the third-order knights, Qin Fan ordered the other first- and second-order knights to follow and pounce.

The third-order knight who snatched the war horse, the long sword came out of the sheath and slashed into the middle of the horse bandits who were setting fire, and with a clang, he chopped down several horse bandits.

The horse bandits were obviously a little confused by this sudden master, and they were about to retreat, when the first-order knights at the entrance of the village arrived and blocked several wall collapse points.

The horse bandits, who had no way out, had to turn around and fight with the third-order knights, but they were two orders apart and were on the same horse, and the horse bandits couldn't exert any attack ability. As soon as the tide of battle turned, the hunters who were originally hiding in the wooden house ran out one after another, and the arrows were shot indiscriminately, and under the attack of several parties, the horse bandits actually dismounted and hid in the wooden house.

This really fulfilled Qin Fan's wishes, and the first-order knights rushed up and fought with the horse bandits in the wooden house.

It wasn't until nightfall that the two dozen or so horse bandits were finally cleared, leaving behind about twenty decent horses, and he found some copper plates from the horse bandits' corpses to upgrade the village and unlock more population caps.

In addition to the loss of the population, Qin Fan lost four wooden houses, which directly caused Tianya Village to fall back to the first order, but fortunately, there are more than a dozen wooden houses under construction today, and the lost carpenters and woodcutters can be restored.

Looking at the more than two dozen batches of war horses in front of him, Qin Fan asked them to gather together and deal with them tomorrow.

The sudden attack of the horse bandits made Qin Fan feel no sense of security at all, and it was hard for him to believe that if no one brushed this inexplicable bug in seconds, he was afraid that overnight, all the results of these three or four days would be gone. Therefore, it is imperative to form a powerful guard to protect the village.

It took a few hours for Qin Fan to make up all the carpenters and woodcutters, and at the same time add five additional carpenters and two stonemasons. He'll need to quickly upgrade his village and unlock more population caps.

Early the next morning, Qin Fan was woken up by the sound of horses, and the fierce battle last night had caused these horses to consume too much energy, and they were hungry and thirsty at this time.

Qin Fan asked a few peasants to fetch water from the ancient well to replenish the horses, and then ordered them to lead the horses out for a walk.

"These horses can't be wasted...... Qin Fan thought about it carefully, and recruited a villager from the village brave profession to come out.
