Chapter 470: The opponent is also a good farmer
『Chapter error, click here to report』
Humans are the most lascivious creatures because they are in heat all year round.
This statement is obviously suspected of grandstanding, but it also illustrates to a certain extent the important influence that ** occupies in human behavior.
With this relationship between the opposite sex, the degree of intimacy will be much closer.
Amanda is like this, after being eaten by Kane, when it is time for dinner, she has completed the transformation from a polite guest to a housekeeper.
Kane is also led by Amanda. He is well aware that, at least for the time being, Amanda's main purpose is to prove her worth and try to please him, not to get the power to call the shots.
This kind of courage should be encouraged.
In fact, Amanda has been rewarded far beyond her expectations, a certain degree of rejuvenation, and a very high level of youth permanence.
The essence of the two is actually the activation of cells under the action of holy light, level 8 light magic, for Kane, casting and solidifying the effect of this magic is a little more troublesome than raising his hands.
For Amanda, it's a dream.
She returned to the state she was in when she was 22 years old, but the plumpness and charm of a mature woman were not lost because of this. It can be said that this is what she, and indeed every woman, dreams of, and now not only obtained, but also locked in this state.
For this alone, Amanda felt that it was worth sacrificing everything in the past.
Of course, she wouldn't say that. She didn't want Kane to think that she was a selfish and cold person who could sacrifice everything for herself.
Although human nature often does not stand the test, many things do not happen, and there is a chance to choose when it will not happen, so as to make the people and things in your life appear better.
This is the difference between covering one's ears and stealing bells and being an ostrich, whether it is the difference between looking at the world with kindness and looking at the world with malice, it is not to debate which one is closer to the truth, but to make one's life easier, which is similar to the 'rare and confused' philosophy of life.
Therefore, Amanda knows that what she really thinks is not the most important thing, the key is to see how she does it, and if she doesn't make mistakes, there will be no minus points in Kane's heart.
Amanda is well aware that climbing into Kane's bed is only the first step in the situation she is facing. What Kane gave was something she couldn't give up no matter what, and what she needed to pay for it was not as simple as doing everything she could in the bed.
Ellijie is still a little embarrassed, angry, and lost.
Kane's actions today are tantamount to exposing the lies that she has fabricated these days with little vanity and possessiveness in front of Amanda.
In addition, sharing a man with other women is never a pleasant feeling. She knew that sooner or later there would be such a day, and reason told her that she should accept all this with tolerance, which was easier said than done.
Amanda's flickering is still very powerful, and she quickly coaxes Ellie to change her mind.
Amanda asked her, "What do you think you have to do with a man like Kane?"
Amanda then told her, "The battle has begun. We have a lot of potential opponents. Kane is willing to devote a limited amount of time and energy to us every day, and how not to let it continue to be diluted is the point of war. ”
Ellie understood. Enough interaction will have more opportunities to enhance each other's affection, and if there is enough affection, the status will be stable, and the material enjoyment and so on can be satisfied.
Therefore, women's wars are fought for the word 'pet'.
Compete for favor, solid pet, single head does not give strength, then it is vertical and horizontal.
Amanda has taken the initiative to extend the hand of alliance now, and she must be able to interact with Kane in and out of bed.
After the change of identity, Amanda said something more straightforward: "Ellie, how do you think we are superior to the singer from Yating?
Ellie Jie was moved by this sentence, she thought to herself: "Yes, Kane is different from ordinary nobles, he doesn't need to trade power and sex, money and sex, he doesn't lack power, he doesn't lack money, he can easily hold himself up, let himself have status, have power, and naturally can hold Amanda, and even any singer." ”
Singer has learned how to serve men since she was a child, and Ellijie knows that she must be inferior to Singer in pleasing men. So Amanda's question goes straight to the point, what do you rely on?
That night, Kane is invited to be a sandwich cookie, which Amanda says is revenge for being discarded in the morning.
Kane, Amanda is indeed a playful person.
Although at the end of this day, there was a trend of 'the king will not reign early', but in fact, his mind did not indulge in the gentle country.
Including along the way, he compared what he saw and heard in reality with the information obtained from Ellijie and others, and summarized. He is very accustomed to using the magic Flying Eagle with stealth ability and extremely long endurance, and almost the whole day, he is scouting and obtaining information.
This access to information also includes the exploration of transcendent energies and matter.
In four days, about 270,000 square kilometers of land were basically discovered by him.
As a result, we are aware of the seriousness of the situation.
In this proven land, he counted more than 400 abandoned villages and towns.
The details of the ruins indicate that these villages and towns were abandoned for no more than five years.
Therefore, the actual situation is far from being as simple as what Alyselle knows, the abandonment of the road has led to the decline of the villages and towns along the way.
He also asked Amanda, who was similarly poorly understood.
In her impression, these years have indeed been not very peaceful, but judging from the annual income, it is not a diving type, but it is still within the tolerance range of the lords, but the expenses are a little large, especially those who did not pay much attention to protection and army building in the past, and even cannot make ends meet because of security issues.
And Amanda also said that she was not aware of mass migrations or village mergers.
Kane thinks Amanda is not lying, nor is she a dumb lord.
For the local aristocrats, land and population are definitely two important indicators, and they are the kind that they are staring at very deadly.
Although this era was no longer the feudal era in which non-freemen were barred from leaving their lord's lands for the rest of their lives, the manor economy was still in vogue in most areas.
In this context, relocation is rare and often too costly. It was difficult for both the lord and the lord to accept.
So here's the problem.
The desolation of 400 villages and towns was definitely a big deal, but the landed nobles did not notice it at all.
It seems that the Holy Religion is not very clear.
Who, and for what purpose, did the thing that was hidden from the world so beautiful?
If it weren't for his magic Flying Eagle, after experiencing the SC universe, he learned new techniques and mastered the method of subtle differentiation of life signals, I am afraid he might not have been able to detect abnormalities.
He had a guess that this was the case, not in the area he was exploring, but in a much wider area.
And the mastermind behind everything is Nidhogg.
The countryside surrounds the city, and Nidhogg is turning it into a remote area, blackening one after another, and if this continues, in a few years, I am afraid that human civilization will become an isolated group of people who only live in the most important settlements.
Kane didn't quite guess right, but he couldn't be far from the truth.
The Shepherds' Society, of which Nidhogg is the mastermind, plays with small favors in remote villages to fool fools and fools.
In these areas, often because of the lack of oil and water, even the tax collectors under the landed aristocracy are too lazy to go several times a year.
But the shepherds will not set off, they look at people, and there is no shortage of technology. They have adhered to a steady strategy, worked hard, and taken deep roots, and have achieved rich results in the past few years.
It can be said that the Shepherds' Society is on a road of subversion that is almost inexplicable for the rulers of this era.
The herdsmen's association, which paid attention to the development of productive forces and was tolerant of sub-farming, even gradually became the main force supporting the landed aristocracy to keep their annual income from being too ugly.
Those who have failed to harvest for various reasons, 15%-25% less than the previous harvest, are the farms where normal people live, who defend their faith and resist the invasion of the shepherds' associations with tradition, old-fashionedness, conservatism, and wariness of outsiders.
But the situation is getting worse. The lord doesn't understand, and now for the sake of performance, he has basically been bought by the shepherds' association. That's what makes life very difficult for these villages and towns.
It can be said that the fall has entered a stage of acceleration, and it will not take a few years, but if there is no effective enough way to stop it, within two years, the inherent civilization of the human race on the continent of Akara will come to an end and be replaced by the dark civilization of Nidhogg.
And Ellie's hometown, Olindon, is a town that is about to fall.
The Amm region, where Olinden is located, is hilly and in its earliest days was only a post on the King's Road.
Later, a merchant named Sesco Orin bought the land and discovered a copper mine that was very rich in associated mines.
Anyone who has studied metal ores knows that copper ores are generally associated with silver, which is nothing more than the amount of content.
The copper in Olinden is not in good shape, but the associated silver content is good, and the veins are shallow from the surface and easy to mine.
So the town was soon founded, and the name was also taken from Seske Orin.
However, there is a time when the mine is finished. A long time ago, Olinden was no longer as lively as the mines, and as the surrounding areas were restless, the caravans gradually decreased, and the income of the caravans also dropped significantly. The hills are undulating, the land is barren, and the poverty of the people here can be imagined.
Kane's convoy arrived in Olinden on the afternoon of the fifth day.
As time passed, the mud along the road finally stopped after the heavy rain, and the convoy was much faster.
In addition, after Oman was eaten, the convoy immediately adjusted, and the situation of dragging its feet did not exist, so it quickly stepped up and walked out of the usual two days for most of the day, and only then did it reach Olinden when the day was already west.
Although the people of Olinden have seen a lot of teams coming and going from the north to the south, this is the first time they have seen such a standard as the Kane team.
Naturally, there were all kinds of onlookers.
At this time, the benefits of showing sufficient strength are manifested.
No one would be stupid enough to go up and stop them, asking Kane and his party about their identities and accommodation qualifications.
According to the new regulations that came into force last year, the examination in this regard is very strict. But there are countermeasures, and the extravagant lineup of the Kane team has made it automatically upgraded to a VIP who is exempt from inspection.
The mayor even smiled and said, "Dear guests, I sincerely invite you to my home, and I will do my best to entertain you." ”
In fact, this is the attitude of the vassals who treat the feudal king twice a year, and show favor to Kane.
Kane knew that although some large cities had entered the embryonic stage of the magic industry, many customs were still conservative.
For example, when the aristocracy traveled far away, the accommodation was basically a large local household, not a hotel.
The inn was mainly for freemen, mercenaries, merchants, etc., and the nobles, especially those with barons and above, were seen as a loss of face when staying in a hotel.
In the earliest days, the nobles entertained other nobles passing by for free, which was a bit like the ancient steppe peoples of the earth, entertaining strangers, not asking for names, and doing their best to entertain each other.
Later, people's hearts are not ancient, but they will not give money, but give some gifts, or invite each other to come and go. And this kind of invitation is often written down by someone on both sides in case of need, and it can even be the reason for nobles to communicate.
Again, the nobles of the land rarely leave their own territory, which is why the mayor is enthusiastic, in addition to the knot, there are also uncommon, rare things, and hospitality to big people, and there are complex factors such as honor.
Kane calmly accepted the mayor's hospitality. He wasn't worried at all about not being able to repay the favor. Before he even got to the place, he could already see that there was a problem here, a big problem that involved every resident.
He believes that settling the problems here will not only pay off the favor of hospitality, but also make the people here owe him a great favor......
