Chapter 64. The goal is to reclaim the town
"It's a bit of a problem."
Frowning slightly, Aunt Bei was also a little anxious, nodding lightly in place, she still sighed slightly, looked at her husband, Hawke and little Cade's uncle Yax, and said softly: "If it doesn't work, we will sell all the land in the reclamation town." ”
After all, it has fallen into some kind of predicament, and the construction funds invested in the early stage, as well as the strangulation funds for goblins and robbers, have been scattered a lot, but there is no sign of recovery until now. Now that they continue to look at it, they can even feel that this is a bottomless pit, and if they don't sell the land quickly and recover some of the losses, then it will be a little difficult for them to do.
In particular, the goblins and robbers were not completely exterminated, and the guards hired every day and the militia weapons purchased were a big expense for Uncle Jax. Even in the early autumn, when the grain that had been cultivated and planted was ready for a bumper harvest, it was caught in some kind of anxious event.
"It's all shit!"
Uncle Jax gritted his teeth in place, looked at the letter in Aunt Pei's hand, couldn't help but take a deep breath, barely calmed down his anger, slowly walked towards the chair, sat down gently before speaking: "That's the land I got with great difficulty, how can I give up like this?" ”
His voice was a little hoarse, and even if he gave himself a sip of pumpkin porridge, it was a certain tiredness that was undisguised. Uncle Jax sighed slightly, and did not continue to say or curse, but gritted his teeth and whispered, as if he were cheering himself up, "That's right, that's it. ”
"But... The situation in that place is not clear. ”
Continuing to look at the envelope in her hand, Aunt Bei's brows furrowed tightly, looking at Uncle Yax, who was drinking pumpkin porridge in small sips, she also shook her head gently, sat aside and said softly: "The letter said that there are already merchants who are ready to sell those lands at a low price, and there are still many people watching the specific situation." ”
The pursuit of profit by businessmen is their surname, and now that the reclamation town has directly encountered such a big blow, it is also appropriate for some businessmen to retreat. And the next thing that needs to be seen is the reaction of the Purple Tulip Kingdom, after all, there is fertile land around the reclamation town, and it is obviously not good to give it up so easily.
The Purple Tulip Kingdom is also quite important to the reclamation of the town, to be honest, which can be seen from the fact that the mayor of the town is directly canonized by the court nobles. And he also sent two royal infantry teams of three hundred men to be stationed in the town, except for the title of a town, the others were simply no different from the royal family's own private land.
"I'm not going to give up, absolutely not."
Giving himself a bite of white bread, Uncle Yax ate it quickly with his head down, and from time to time he said as if to himself: "If you give up like this, it will be a failure." He raised his eyelids slightly, looked at Aunt Bei on the side, nodded and said, "I believe that reclamation town will bring us wealth!" ”
A keen sense of wealth had always been Uncle Jax's pride, otherwise he would not have been a small grain merchant, but would have had his own caravans and land. These are all things that cost a lot of money to settle down, but Uncle Yax can have them himself, which has to be said to be enviable and emotional.
"Uncle Yax, if you believe in my strength, you can let me try."
Looking at that heavy and unwilling face, just when Uncle Yax was drinking porridge in silence, Hawke took the initiative to stand up, and without waiting for him to scold anything, he nodded directly and said simply: "I have the strength to defeat the orcs, which is quite famous in Miner Town!" ”
Hawke killed the orcs and was rewarded by the lord, in fact, it spread throughout the miners' town, even if Black Lake City took a closer look, he could understand the situation. However, most people dismissed it as a joke made up by bards, and it was not a good thing at all, after all, it was indeed a bit too much for a child to kill several adult orc warriors.
They are all in the northern border, especially the large number of aliens and robbers behind the hill of the three dukes, and they know the life of life in that environment. And a few adult orc warriors are probably already comparable to a ten-member regular army squad of humans!
"Yes, he's right, my dear."
Uncle Yax directly put down his wooden bowl and wooden spoon, and just wanted to reprimand him angrily, but Aunt Bei on the side pulled his cuffs slightly, nodded lightly and said, "It's indeed made by Little Hawk, haven't you heard of this?" It's just that this incident is real, and the boy is Little Hawke. ”
"Yes, yes, it's Brother Hawke!"
Little Cade also nodded proudly on the side, especially looking at Uncle Jax's slightly surprised gaze, he curled the corners of his mouth, stood up and said with a smile: "Although you don't believe it, Brother Hawke did these miraculous things!" ”
It is indeed surprising that only a teenager killed several powerful orc warriors, after all, they are all a group of ordinary human beings, and there is no opportunity to contact and understand some high-level powerhouses and bloodlines, and for some things, it is more like a topic of discussion after dinner, and by the way, I despise this kind of lie in my heart.
"Please let me try, if I'm fully armed."
Hawk looked at Uncle Yax, nodded confidently, picked up an iron spoon next to him by the way, gently twisted it into a twist shape with his fingers, and then smoothed it again, and said with a smile: "Trust me, Uncle Yax, I can definitely protect your farm well!" ”
"I guess that shouldn't be a problem." Squinting slightly, Uncle Yax was obviously shocked, looking at Hawke's iron spoon in his hand, he swallowed lightly and foamed, but there was a hint of surprise hidden in the shock in his eyes, which made him nod and said, "Little Hawke, you really made me feel some kind of surprise and relief!" ”
However, he didn't say much, Uncle Yax just looked at Aunt Bei deeply, the corners of his mouth were a little smile after all, nodded and said to Hawke: "I have a suit of chain mail and scale armor, and there is no shortage of war bows and long swords. Uncle Yax paused suddenly, then stared at Hawk and said, "If you have faith, I will leave the farm in the town to you to take care of!" ”
"There is no problem, Uncle Jax!"
For Uncle Yax's words, Hawke was also prepared, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he nodded and said, "If you are willing to believe me, I think even if the orcs appear there, they will not be able to enter your farm!" ”
ps: I'm going to push it next week... Alas... Well, it's almost early in the morning, codeword... Codeword!! By the way, some people say I'm dragging the plot, okay, I also admit that these chapters are dragging on, but then it's fine, a lot of drama is starting to appear~~~
