Text Chapter 67 The legend buried under the village

Auroboros poured the gold coins directly on the ground and sprinkled them like dogs, "After receiving the coins, all of you must leave this village!" I'm going to leave tonight and go to live in the place I have designated. ”

At this time, the glittering gold had made the villagers unable to resist the temptation, and under the greedy eyes of the villagers, the village chief trembled and prepared to sign an agreement to sell the village.

Just as the village chief's pen was about to write his name, Slya hurriedly asked, "Mr. Oroboros, what are you paying attention to?" Whether it's saving villagers or buying villages, I don't understand why you're doing these things that make me figure out why? ”

"Oh, are you wondering why I bought this village? The reason is very simple, Necromantic Qi, which is very abundant here, is a very suitable place for cultivating immortal magic. That's why I bought a village like this, you understand? It would be a good thing for you to move away from this village, where the land has been eroded by dark energies. Even if you don't get along with the polluted water in the village, it will be eroded by the dark energy over time."

"I see......" Slya nodded. But Oroboros still saw doubt in Slya's eyes...... Maybe he was suspicious of what treasure was buried in his village, but in the face of his own power, he could only choose to watch.

After distributing the gold coins on the ground to each household, the village chief stood up and asked, "Lord Oroboros, you said that we should be placed in a designated place to live, so where does this place mean?" ”

Oroboros laughed harmlessly: "The New Harmony Commune of Santiago......"

Puzzled, Euphemia leaned into Oroboros's ear and whispered, "My lord, there doesn't seem to be such a place in Nasalik?" ”

"There will be this place! Dimiugs should be building this place by now...... Forget it, let's not send them to Dimiugs, Happy Ranch or something, or not...... I remembered that there should be a need for people to do the work on the Yaula side, so I sent them to the Yaura side. ”

"Yaula-sama's manpower is in need of work?"

"That's right, Yaura's side should build a base project on the side of the Great Forest, and it needs a lot of manpower."

Oloboros remembers that in the second season of "The Undead King", Yaula was ordered to command her Warcraft Legion to build a camouflage base in the forest of Tuwuda. This stronghold is relatively close to the territory of the lizardmen, and the famous event of "Lori Chair" took place here.

Killing the villagers themselves is not so unconscionable, and they can't bear to forcibly occupy their land, giving them gold coins to let them go out to earn a living, and worrying that they will leak the information of the village and cause a lot of trouble for themselves...... Therefore, the only way to do this is to let these guys go to a place where Nasalik can control and supervise them.

In addition to the newly started construction site of Yaula and the newly built Happy Ranch of Little Di, the only external control force in Nasalik is currently left in the village of Karn. However, that place has now been regarded as a tourist attraction for the gods by the inhabitants of the kingdom, the church, and the empire, and it is now very popular.

(Author: More on the current situation in the village of Kahn.) )

Hearing Oroboros's words, the village chief asked, "Lord Auroboros, are you sending us to build a manor or castle?" ”

"You can understand it this way, you don't think I'm really that kind of brainless good person, do you? A considerable part of the gold coins given to you are used to build the building, and the related costs will be deducted from your 50 gold coins, which is enough to hire you. ”

Hearing Oroboros's words, the village chief also roughly understood Oroboros's thoughts, and all the doubts in his heart were eliminated.

It was not the first time that the village chief had been called upon by the nobles to build a manor or castle, and ordinary people had become accustomed to it.

In the kingdom, the state had the power to conscript civilians to serve in a variety of fields, such as the construction of rivers, roads, castles, and military service. Labor is a duty that every commoner cannot escape, and every man must spend more than one or three years of his life in the service of the kingdom. It's just that the kingdom as a whole doesn't have so much labor to obey, and the nobility doesn't want the commoners to be idle.

For the nobility, service was the duty of all untouchables, and how these obligations were fulfilled depended entirely on them, the rulers by birth. If there are no natural or man-made disasters in your jurisdiction, you need a lot of forced labor to fight the disaster. Then the amount of labor that is left out is completely part of one's wealth. After all, the king who hides in the deep palace takes care of these small things, so there are too many places where he can do his hands and feet in the conscription.

At this time, the nobles tried by all means to extract the surplus value of the common people from the servitude, and they could make the servants free of charge to cultivate the land themselves, or to work in the workshop of a merchant, so that they could collect their own money.

In fact, working for the nobles is one of the better types of labor among all the labor, compared to repairing rivers or military service, building manors or castles at least will not be life-threatening, and you can have a place to live, so as not to sleep in the wilderness.

As for salary...... Have you heard that you have to pay a salary for servitude to the state? At most, the aristocratic lord was happy that day, adding a meal to the dinner of these untouchables or occasionally rewarding a few copper coins.

Auroboros's practice of paying others to build a manor for him is already a great kindness in the eyes of these villagers. What's more, the wages that Oroboros gave them were probably money that they would not have earned for most of their lives. Even if they sold themselves into slavery, they might not be able to sell them for that price.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the behest of Oroboros, the villagers were evacuated from the entire village in less than a day. They only brought some food to eat on the road and the family's large livestock, and did not take anything with them. For them, who already have 50 gold coins, these things are no longer worth carrying around. 50 gold coins is equivalent to 500 silver coins, and 500 silver coins are enough to buy more than 40 pieces of land. Forty more than a tenth of the land of the village of Karn. Although this wealth is not enough to make them rich, it can make them live a superior life.

With a beautiful yearning for the future, the villagers of Dosro embarked on a journey to a new life under the morning sun.

Oroboros looked at the last 50 gold coins left in his hand, which were the last money left for Slya. It's just that Slya may not feel that he needs to put his life on the line for 50 gold coins, so he left without taking a single cent of this seemingly lucrative bounty. It was only before he left that Oroboros asked him to swear not to divulge the affairs of the village......

Watching Slya leave the village alone, and then at the villagers who left together, Oroboroth fell into deep thought.

Aura's side had already greeted Oroboros, and the villagers were involved in the construction of the Great Tomb of Nasalik, in order to repay the salary of 50 gold coins. Based on the income of rural labor in this world, Orobros felt that the villagers would have to work for themselves for at least twenty or thirty years before they could repay the salary of 50 gold coins.

Based on a peasant's income of two silver coins a month, their annual income is twenty-four silver coins, which is almost enough to earn a salary of 50 gold coins in twenty years.

But in fact, these villagers may not be able to save this number in their lifetime. The income of two silver coins a month, after deducting taxes, deducting daily clothing, food, housing and transportation, is actually not much money left. Just one tax can shrink the income of two silver coins by more than 30%, can you expect these people to really save 50 gold coins?

In addition to wanting them to pay off their debts with their labor, Oroboros also planned to build some small restaurants and other buildings in the places where the villagers worked. Anyway, the boss always wants to find a way to get the money back for the employees. It is naturally very bad to rob clearly, but you can let employees buy some of the company's products or something, and the price is preferential.

Now that the villagers have been paid, Oroboros has no intention of giving them food and drink, which is too good for them. If you want to eat, then spend money, the price is fair, the taste is good, it's just this one, there is no semicolon......

Seriously, these villagers really don't feel good about Orobroth. How to say...... These villagers are somewhat too snobbish. Their attitude towards Oroboros ranges from rejection – surprise – disgust – to expressions of affection, to the ups and downs of their faces like a roller coaster. It feels a lot like Chekov's Chameleon, completely transformed by a change of identity.

It's hard to imagine that someone like Sliya could grow out of such a place...... No, if it were me, I would be exactly the same as those villagers for the ups and downs of life.

"Lord Oroboros, Charlie, they are here! At the request of the adults, they carried the ground-drilling alchemy puppets, and as soon as the adults gave the order, they could immediately start working. ”

"Really? Then let Xia Li and the others get to work and turn the underground of Dothro Village upside down! ”

The ground-drilling alchemy puppet brought by Xia Li is completely modeled after the Gaita 2 machine in "Super Robot Wars 2". One of the most important meetings of his childhood, Gaita 2, the weapon that was once manipulated by Orobros in the game, was completely replicated in the New World.

In Super Robot Wars II, Gaita 2 should be the strongest mecha in terms of combat power other than David's Gundam series mechas. If you only talk about attack power, Gaita 2 should be the strongest of all mechas. In "Super Robot Wars", as the strongest mecha, it has destroyed countless super mechs of the rebel army, and has made great achievements to Oroboros, and now it is ...... This super weapon is only used as an excavator, I don't know what Owen will think if there is a spirit under the spring.

The height of Gaita No. 2 is more than fifty meters high, such a behemoth drilled into the ground with its own super drill bit, and the huge impact of the drill bit directly plunged the entire village into a strong vibration, and the crack seven or eight meters wide quickly expanded, spreading to the entire village, and some not very solid houses collapsed directly in the shock.
