It has been nearly a month since the Imperial Army set out to exterminate the remnants of the insects in Qiushui County, and all kinds of news continue to spread back to Kolos City, both good and bad. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoI heard that there are still many black ant insects left, which has caused a lot of casualties among the soldiers of the Aprin Empire. However, the good news is that it is said that the army led by Nu Chop has quickly advanced the cleaning area to the entrance to the mountain pass under the Beichuan Mountain, and when the sweep reaches there, the garrison will be arranged to seal the mountain pass to prevent the insects from attacking the Beichuan Mountain Range again, and the entire Qiushui County will be temporarily safe.

During the night, the village of Belka temporarily settled in a barracks in the county town of Kolos, where Maester Kane summoned a meeting of all the surviving villagers. It is now the norm to hold meetings every night, which can better help the families who lost their loved ones in this disaster to give encouragement, support and spiritual comfort.

"Tenghu, you've already gone back to the village today, tell me about the current situation in the village!" After discussing miscellaneous things for a while, Master Kane changed the subject again.

"Uh... Village Chief, I... Didn't I report to you individually?" Teng Hu sat in his position and listened quietly throughout the meeting, not knowing what he was thinking, looking absent-minded. Suddenly, I heard the call of the village chief, and I was stunned for a while before I was reminded by the villagers sitting next to me, and then I stood up and replied with a nervous face.

Now that the big guys are here, you can tell everyone everything you have seen and heard in the past few days, after all, you are the one who has seen it with your own eyes, and it is the most true thing that comes out of your mouth. Maester Kane said again.

“... Okay, then I'll talk to the big guys. A few days ago, news came that the Imperial Army had cleared many places, including our village. Maester Kane approached me and told me to go back and see what was going on in our village. It can be said that it is much worse than I imagined, and the way to it is full of all kinds of traces and peculiar smells, and I have also been in and seen two other villages in the way. All the houses in those two villages collapsed and there were blood stains everywhere. The villagers in those villages didn't have time to escape, they should have been killed and devoured by the insects. However, the corpses were not seen, and they may have been burned by the Imperial soldiers who cleaned up the place. In the end, when I returned to our village, the situation was not much better, most of the houses were also destroyed by the insects, and none of the chickens and birds that were left in the backyard of the house were too late to be taken away, and they should have been devoured by the insects. And the grain planted outside the village in our village has also been trampled to death, so it can be said that there is nothing left. Now our village can't live in it!" Teng Hu slowly recounted what he had seen and heard in the past two days, and finally squeezed out tears of sadness in his eyes, after all, it was the place where he had lived almost all his life.

The villagers were silent, so quiet in the huge barracks that they seemed to hear even a pin dropping.

"Village Chief, what should we do now?" After a while, Erdan, who had always been unable to sink, broke the silence.

"Hmm... I also thought about this question for a day. Whenever a strange insect invades the territory of the human race, that land will be recovered by the imperial army in the future, and it will generally be decadent for a long time. The last time our land was invaded by insects was recorded in history was more than 800 years ago, during which nearly 200 years later, people gradually took root in this barren land and tried to survive, until recently it reached the level of being invaded by insects a few days ago. Now the villages in the entire Qiushui County are only afraid of being wiped out, only our village escaped to the county seat to escape this catastrophe, this land is only afraid that it will not be able to survive in a short time, and our current situation can be regarded as homeless!"

"Village Chief, the dry food we brought from the village is about to run out, and we can't go back to our home now, what should we do?"

"There is no endless road, don't we still have a large barracks in the county town now, this barracks Zhao Wu City Lord has already spoken, let us live as long as we need, at least now it will not make us homeless. As for the problem of hunger, I still have a solution!" After speaking, Master Kane took out a purple-gold badge from his bosom and threw it at Feng You.

"Village Chief, what is this?" Feng You is now half of his injuries have healed, and now he can walk around on his own without help, and at this moment he is also sitting together in a meeting, seeing that the village chief suddenly threw a purple-gold object at him, he hurriedly held it with both hands, glanced at it and asked.

"This is the Order of Auxiliary University Scholars awarded by the Holy See!" but Ping Lei, who was sitting next to Feng You, replied first after seeing it.

"Ahh Village Chief, why are you giving me this?" Feng You was stunned when he heard the answer, and then asked Master Kane.

"Didn't you ever work as a blacksmith? find a place to melt this thing, and then exchange it for some money, enough to support our village for a long time. Maester Kane replied.

"How can you exchange something that is important to you for money?"

"What's important or not, I'm no longer a scholar of the Auxiliary University, what's the use of asking for it? Besides, wouldn't it be better to exchange things from the Holy See for some food and clothing?"

"But... This medal is so beautifully carved, why should it be melted down and then exchanged for money?" Feng You paused for a moment, still not understanding the village chief's intentions.

"If you have ever been a blacksmith, you should not know that this medal is made of purple lazuli polishing and carving! This stone is also a very rare thing, although it does not have the strange use of the Adaman stone, but it is also a precious stone loved by the wealthy nobles, and the items used to polish and decorate it generally symbolize nobility and power. But this medal represents the status of a scholar of the auxiliary state, and if others get it and are found by the Holy See, it is a serious crime, and it will be beheaded! If you don't melt it, no one will dare to take it, now you understand!"

"Understood, but there's no other way than to melt it down for money?"

"What are you doing for me so much, I have completely stopped cherishing the Holy See, what's the use of keeping it? Now melting it and exchanging it for money can probably exchange for more than ten pope coins, and with so many pope coins, it is enough for hundreds of people in our village to eat for a few years. That's my way, understand!" Seeing Feng You's hesitant look, Master Kane said firmly again.
