Although Lin Ye held the long sword tightly in both hands, with his current physical condition, it was extremely difficult to even swing it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The way he looks is nothing more than giving himself a strong momentum.

"Lord Duke, is that you?" A familiar voice came from the woods, and Lin Ye put down his sword and breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon Lancelot came over with a team of soldiers, and after seeing that Lin Ye was safe and sound, Lancelot's anxious expression was relieved.

Link ...... A lot of people ......" Mel hid behind Lin Ye and said timidly.

She is very afraid of life, which seems to be her nature, even if she does not have amnesia.

"My lord, this is ......," Lancelot asked, noticing the young girl behind the duke, frowning.

On the way over, he had already seen the previous camp, and his expression was finally relaxed, and he tensed up again.

"Lancelot, this is Mel, don't be nervous, she's probably the only survivor of that camp, and she's amnesiac. Lin Ye explained.

He also introduced Mel to his friends, but Mel was still afraid to step forward.

"I see, my lord, my subordinates are late in coming, and you are frightened. Lancelot was very remorseful.

When he saw the tragic state of the camp, he was afraid that something would happen to the Duke, and he had even prepared for the worst.

Fortunately, the Duke still appeared in front of him alive, and Lancelot made up his mind that he must not be so negligent in the future!

"It's all my fault for wandering around in the forest, let's go back. Lin Ye smiled, he got lost in the forest, it was not the responsibility of the knight chief.

Lancelot is loyal, upright, and a trusted confidant.

"Those people in the camp ......" Lancelot hesitated, he didn't dare to make his own decisions about the matter.

And he looked worried, as if he had something to say.

"Bury them on the spot, and by the way, bring back their armor, their weapons, everything they can use. Lin Ye groaned.

Although the armor of those knights was damaged, the swords were very fine, which was something that was currently in short supply in Blackfire Castle.

"My lord, those men's wounds are very strange, and if I'm not mistaken, they ......," Lancelot couldn't help but speak.

He found a lot of suspicions.

"I know all this, you don't need to say more, you tell me to go down, Miss Mel's family was robbed by robbers, and we were lucky enough to save her, but we didn't find anything else, we didn't know anything, understand?" Lin Ye interrupted Lancelot's words, his expression was extremely serious.

Lancelot looked at him in a daze, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the Duke's gourd.

But he still nodded and said, "My subordinates understand." ”

"Well, there you go. ”

Mel tugged at the corner of Lin Ye's clothes and asked blankly, "Link, where are we going?"

"How about going to Black Fire Castle, which is my home, how about Mel visiting my house?" Lin Ye said with a smile.

"Wherever Link goes, Mel goes. She nodded firmly.

Lin Ye looked at the girl in amazement, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

Is this what it's like to be relied on?

――――

By the time they returned to Blackfire Castle, it was already evening.

After all, Lin Ye had a foot injury, even if Lancelot and several soldiers took turns to carry him, and made him a simple stretcher.

But the speed of travel was still very slow, and it took 13 hours to cover the journey that could have been completed in 7 hours.

It almost doubled as much.

However, before going back, Lin Ye still made a detour to the pond where the crayfish were found, and Locke and Leon were still waiting in place.

Without the Duke's orders, they didn't know what to do with the dense stuff.

This reminded Lin Ye of a common saying, called the first person to eat crabs.

It is said that in ancient times, crabs made holes in the rice fields, which made the rice fields lack water, and they looked ugly, hurt people, and were rampant, and were regarded as demons and monsters, and stayed away.

Later, someone came up with a way to introduce the crab into boiling water, and after the crab was scalded to death, it emitted a strong fragrance, and the person opened the crab shell and tasted it.

The indescribable taste finally opened a precedent for crab cooking, and crab has since become a delicacy on the table.

Now lobsters have almost the same status in the eyes of the people of the Far East.

Lin Ye knew that as long as someone was the first to eat lobster, the sales of crayfish would naturally become popular.

Instead of rushing to catch the fish, he asked the soldiers to mark it and wait until they had dug the pond to lure the crayfish back.

If you catch it so rashly, there is no special way to store it, and by the time the moon fair begins, all these lobsters will not all stink.

After making up his mind, he returned to Blackfire Castle, where the people, including Milia, Vivien, Mister Moda, Mr. Murray, and Old Bill, waited anxiously.

The Duke's disappearance frustrated them, and it was only then that they realized how important the young Duke was to the entire Blackfire Castle.

Not only because he is the lord here, in the past two months, the Black Fire Castle has defeated the Gray Wolf Tribe and the Black Dog Tribe, and improved the beer and bread, and made a series of changes, all of which are from the Duke's handiwork.

Although they have not yet achieved tangible results, there is reason to believe that under the leadership of the Duke, the Far East will surely rise.

"This is Mel, Mel, this is Vivien, Milia, Mel will stay in the castle as a guest in the future, let's clean up a room for her. Lin Ye introduced Mel to Vivian and the others.

The castle also has many vacant rooms, and it is no problem to clean one up.

"Miss Mel, let's get along well from now on. Vivien smiled slightly, and she looked at Miria meaningfully and blinked.

Milia seemed to be a little angry, and her attitude was lukewarm.

But perhaps because of the sudden sight of so many strangers, Mel seemed very panicked.

kept pulling the corners of Lin Ye's clothes, and cold sweat seeped down his palms.

Lin Ye didn't care about this, and after arranging her to live in the castle, he simply treated her leg injury, and soon began to dig the pond again.

Excavating a pond is a deceptively simple process, but it is very complex in terms of details.

This is not just about digging a big pit, but also about laying out water diversion culverts, taking into account many problems such as topography, geology, disinfection, and fertilizer.

Fortunately, these leaves have been investigated in detail before, and drawings have been drawn.

The brewing of beer is being carried out in an orderly manner, with the antiseptic effect of hops, there is no problem with the preservation of beer, and the excavation period of the pond is about half a month, but the harvest cycle of the aquaculture industry will go next year, and he is not too anxious.

"With beer, with crayfish, I've mixed all kinds of condiments, so now I just have to wait until the moon comes. ”

"The convening of the Earth Goddess Festival is when our Black Fire Castle opens up the situation. ”

"We at Blackfire Castle not only want to be the first to eat lobsters in the aquaculture industry, but also to open up more fields. ”

"At most, 5 years, no, 3 years, I will be in charge of the entire Far East Niuer!" Lin Ye said confidently.
