Smelling the meat and sprinkling it with salt, Edison enjoyed a beautiful lunch and hit the road again.

It was nearly late evening that he finally saw a small village, such as this one, which was not usually shown directly on the map on Edison's planned itinerary, and at most a piece of the area was called a mobile market.

With the entire forest and sea of trees as the center, there are only about 50 small towns marked on the map in the middle, from a small city in the third ring area to the 13 major cities in the first ring to defend against the "beast tide".

It's not that you don't want to build a few more towns, it's just that whenever the beast tide comes, each big city must be controlled by at least 50 high-level magicians and 1,000 low-level magicians in order to stop nearly 80% of the crazy monsters, and only in this way can we ensure that the small city in the rear will not be slaughtered by the rioting monsters.

But even so, there have been dozens of incidents in history where small cities were slaughtered by demonic beasts.

As for a gathering place of this size, when facing the remaining 20% of the demonic beasts, it can only rely on adventurers and local residents to protect themselves.

Therefore, often the establishment of a small town requires a lot of manpower and material resources, but the destruction is overnight, and only a town that has been established for more than 100 years is eligible to be marked on the map sold by the magic guild.

It is only in such a small town that it can be considered to be included in the management of the empire and can be eligible for the protection of magicians

As for other newly built villages and villages, they are all considered villages until they are recognized, and villages generally have poor infrastructure. There is no planning and management, and there is a lack of synonyms for manpower and material.

But there is a market next to it nearby. But it's also a favorite place for wanderers.

It's just that the location of such a market is very hidden, and it is generally possible to find it with the guidance of the locals.

Where Edison is now. If you count the straight-line distance alone, it's about 12 miles from home.

As he walked, he simply changed into the usual clothes of an adventurer, a simple black robe, with a waist guard and a dagger, a simple arm guard tied to his arm, a tired face on his face, and some small modifications between his eyebrows, which made his whole person look a lot more mature. Aside from the fact that he has a fairly well-maintained skin, Edison now looks no different from an ordinary adventurer.

The closer he got to the town, the denser the ridges outside the town became, and some of the winter wheat that had been sparsely planted had grown delicate green shoots.

He looked around, not noticing that his feet were on a thin layer of mucous membrane. So, he slipped and slid straight into the rice paddies on the side of the road. Covered in muddy water, he was embarrassed.

This change undoubtedly surprised Edison to the extreme, and his gloomy face when he got up frightened a child and a ...... who appeared in front of him Slime.

For the farmers of the Magic Empire, this slime is designated as a level 0 magical beast. The status of the farmer was as important as the cattle in the fields of Edison's previous life.

Because in this world, jelly-like slimes of different colors will be used before each plow. They will come to the stream to drink water, and then moisten the nursery little by little through the sweat glands while plowing the land; They can also inhale human and animal excrement for a short period of time, turning into a form similar to "stinky sludge". Then, through rumination-like behavior, "fertility" is applied directly to the field.

However, slimes are generally most active at night, which means that the cultivation and fertilization of ordinary civilians must be carried out at night.

But cheap, convenient, easy to domesticate, and easy to breed all make slimes excellent agricultural helpers to integrate into people's lives.

It's just that after drinking the liquid, these slimes will leave a layer of slippery slime on the ground when they move, like the traces of snails crawling in his previous life, and it is also the inspiration for the magician's original invention of the [Greasy Technique].

The darkness and carelessness directly led to an oversight on the part of Edison, who is now embarrassed.

Looking at Edison's eyes, which undoubtedly frightened the child, he said in a somewhat trembling voice: "This ...... Big brother, I didn't mean to do it with 'Little Green', I'm willing to help you clean your clothes, don't hit 'Little Green', okay?"

These words made Edison stunned, his anger was much smaller, and he quickly reacted, it turned out that the culprit who caused him to slide was the slime in front of him!?

But Edison, who had figured out the cause and effect, certainly wouldn't be angry with the slime in front of him.

He just said angrily: "No need, it's that I didn't see the road clearly, so you just tell me where the nearest accommodation from here is, I don't blame you." ”

As he spoke, he controlled a water balloon and cleaned up the mud all over his body. This hand undoubtedly frightened the talking child, and when the child watched his movements blankly, the balloon of water had quickly left his body with the dirt, and in a short time Edison's body became dry except for some dirt on his shoes.

Looking at this skillful movement, the child forgot to speak for a while, Edison frowned, turned his head and said, "Child, you haven't answered my question yet!"

At this time, the child reacted and hurriedly said: "My family has opened a hotel, but there are only three rooms, although there are usually no people to live, but it is really clean, adults, are you willing to live?"

Edison secretly thought to himself, it was a coincidence that there were still people in a small village who opened a hotel, although it was only the size of a family hotel, but it was also rare, so he said, "Okay, can you show me the way?"

The child nodded again and again, but before leaving, he turned around and explained to the slime, "'Little Green'! I'll take this big brother home first, and you have to come back by yourself after plowing the land!" After speaking, he walked to Edison and led the way.

Edison felt fresh when he saw this scene, and couldn't help but quip: "Oh! It seems that your slime is well raised, you are so relieved that it will not get lost!"

At this time, when the child heard Edison's kind tone, he also let down a trace of his guard, and replied to Edison's words: "Yes! 'Little Green' is so good, so he won't run around by himself! Big brother, you are a magician!"

After speaking, he asked curiously, Edison nodded yes, and began to understand the situation of the town, and as he talked to each other cordially, the child gradually let down his guard and slowly talked to Edison.

By the time he walked up to the 8-foot (2.5-meter) wooden fence of the village, Edison already knew that the child's name was Carl Ines, who was only 5 years old, and that his father was Frey Ines and his mother was Jane Taylor, and that the family had been living here for about 10 years.

There are only about 120 people in the whole village here, and the village was originally built by a level 3 warrior and a group of ordinary people about 20 years ago, although the village chief has also been elected, but the existence of the village chief is basically a little more prestigious, and his words are reasonable, and everyone is willing to listen to his mediation existence if they are a little, and there is basically no substantive right.

And because it was not officially recognized, no one came to collect any taxes, and if there was something in the village that could not be eaten, it would be sent to the city to sell, but when it was necessary to go into the city to sell something, they had to pay another money, and every year during the autumn harvest and spring ploughing, some caravans would pass by here and buy a batch of grain at a low price.

The life of the people in the village is not very difficult, but their life seems to Edison to be extremely monotonous and boring; there is not even the most basic martial arts hall here, which means that it is impossible to openly train ordinary warriors here; and if such a village can come from the "beast tide" once every decade and develop into a small town step by step, it really depends on luck.

Of course, in fact, most small villages are like this, after all, it is not easy to become a warrior, just a magic food pill that allows ordinary warriors to eat every day costs 10 silver coins, but this is also much less than eating food directly, if there is no magic food pill, a first-level mortal warrior must have 3 ordinary people's food every day to support him. And with the Demon Food Pill, eating one in three days can allow a first-level mortal warrior to maintain the amount of food for ordinary people.

After all, most of the caravans have their own tents, and few of them are willing to spend money to stay in hotels, and it is easier to make money by opening a hotel than to open a small shop or something.

As soon as Edison stepped into the small village, some people looked at him curiously from time to time, and it can be seen that this small village is really rare to see a lone wanderer coming.
