Chapter 932: Xanadu

Ji Ran lived in Taoyuan Village, of course, Taoyuan Village was not the original name of the village, and the original village had no name.

The local villagers have lived here for generations, and perhaps the first generation did not give the village a name, so until now, the village does not have a uniform name, and most people call it home.

Ji Ran felt that this place was very good, although there were no peaches and no peach trees, because the environment here was not suitable for the growth of peach trees, but because it was located in a remote place, far away from the troubled times of the outside strife, it was like a paradise, so Ji Ran gave this village the name Taoyuan Village.

Considering that there would be no war here for a while, Wren asked the warriors to take off their heavy armor, collect their weapons, and seal them in the treasury.

On weekdays, everyone goes to work in the fields together, and exchange hard labor for a self-sufficient life.

And Ji Ran also followed the village women in the village to learn the skills of weaving, although the conditions were very simple, but fortunately, Ji Ran was ingenious, and after learning for a period of time, he could weave by himself.

Due to the increase in the labor force and the hard-working spirit of the knights, the originally barren land was reclaimed into fertile fields.

Grain is increasing year by year, and the output of vegetables is also very high, and they can exchange surplus vegetables and grain for other living materials, and their lives are gradually stabilized.

The life of food and clothing made the soldiers eager to form their own families.

After all, they are all young hot-blooded men, most of them have never been married, and now that they are of the age of marriage, it is natural that they want to marry a wife and have children and reproduce their bloodline.

At first, Wren was against it, not because his subordinates were over-thinking, but because of the harmonious relationship with the local villagers, he did not approve it.

The number of villagers in Taoyuan Village is very limited, about a few hundred households, the ratio of men to women is not stable, many villagers do not have wives, if one of his subordinates marries a wife, then the rest of the villagers have no wives and become singles.

It's not good for everyone's unity, and now Crea is hunting them down.

If you offend the local residents, if someone denounces them, I am afraid that their lives will not be guaranteed.

It was already good that the enthusiastic villagers could accept them, so Wren didn't want to make a fuss.

Later, however, there were soldiers who secretly fell in love with the local girls, and these girls were very fond of these sturdy, handsome, and hard-working knights, most of whom were willing to fall in love with them, and were willing to marry them as wives.

Later, the situation became more and more serious and became uncontrollable, and the men of the village did not raise any objections.

Perhaps they also knew that they were indeed much inferior to these well-trained knights, so instead of being jealous, they felt that this seemed to be a reality that they should accept.

Nature is so cold, natural selection, survival of the fittest.

Whether it is a human or an animal, in most cases, the male animal is responsible for showing his excellence, while the female animal selects the best offspring among the male animals to ensure the good genes of the race.

Although the girls in Taoyuan Village may not know the scientific theory in this, their instinctive choice is absolutely right.

These Lacacian knights from distant regions, each of them are excellent and handsome young men, they have almost no intersection with the girls of Taoyuan Village in terms of blood, and they do not have to worry about the offspring inheriting the pathogenic genes shared by both parties, nor do they have to worry about the accumulation of defective genes on the offspring, their collection, in terms of biological genetics, is much better than the intermarriage in the village.

Wren saw that this was the case, and no longer stopped it, as long as the girl was willing, the young man had no opinion, and after the consent of the other party's parents, Wren also acquiesced to the fact that they were married.

As the married subordinates left one after another, there were fewer people around Rennes.

Most of these married people have gone to live alone in their wives' homes, and they will raise children, and the burden of life will be on them, so Wren can't force them to return to the castle to serve.

Gradually, more and more people left, and in the end, there were only three people left.

"Lord Wren... Can I ask you one thing? The last knight, Elcardo, asked Wren shyly.

Looking at Elkado's shy appearance, needless to say, Wren had almost guessed it.

During this time, he had a close relationship with a girl named Merlin in the village, and on several occasions Wren saw the two secretly having trysts at night, and even once Elcardo boldly brought Merlin into the castle, although this was not allowed in the order, but Wren did not punish them because they were just talking about love, and did not have any bad ideas.

They have been talking for a while, and their relationship has warmed up quickly, perhaps, they have already crossed the thunder pool and secretly tasted the forbidden fruit.

It stands to reason that it should be time to talk about marriage.

"Shall I marry Miss Merlin?" Elkado asked very stiffly, his eyes were a little flustered, he knew that he was the last knight, and if he also left, then Wren would be a commander of the light pole completely.

This is undoubtedly a huge blow for Rennes.

"If you don't agree, forget it, when I didn't say hello." Elcardo said cautiously, then turned to work outside.

"Elka, I approve it, bless you." Elcardo hadn't gone far when he suddenly heard Wren's voice.

He couldn't believe his ears, he didn't expect Wren to agree so easily.

When others asked him for instructions before, he would hesitate again and again, and even refuse a few times, and only when he saw that the other party insisted on getting married, he would agree.

In fact, Wren is not an unkind commander, he just wants to test whether his subordinates really love each other, love is not child's play, only with desperate persistence, is true love.

And now, Wren readily agreed to Elcardo, in fact, it was also based on his observations these days, and the conclusions he had reached.

Elcardo had always been the most loyal warrior, in fact, he had known Merlin for more time than any other married warrior, but he had been holding back in his heart and was too embarrassed to say it, and now that he had the courage to bring it up, it already showed that he was well prepared and didn't need to be tested again.

"This is the title deed, the rest of the land in the division belongs to you, live a good life with Mei Lin, be a good husband, don't insult the glory of the Blue Dragon Knight!" Wren stepped forward and handed Elcador the title deed he had already prepared, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled and encouraged.
