One meter of sunlight at dawn brought the village back to life.

The cooks were the first to rise in the village, and they divided into two groups to prepare breakfast for the kobold slave camp and the secondary cistern site, where the food was very different, the bricklayers on the site ate scones and chestnut rice porridge, while the slave camp only had multigrain porridge mixed with a lot of wheat bran, and occasionally pumpkin pie was eaten.

As soon as the sun peeked out from the ridges, the kobolds in the slave camps rushed to the tidal flats of the river bend to dig up the silt on the other side of the river.

A day of heavy work has also begun on the construction site of the reservoir, and now that the waterproofing layer at the bottom of the secondary reservoir is almost complete, the bricklayers dug a deep trench nearly two meters wide at the very edge of the reservoir, and waited for the steel to arrive in the village of Wall, and then braided a kilometer-long keel into the trench, and then poured pozzolanic cement and sand.

This will be the second line of life support in the village of Vol, and Surdak has only one requirement for this levee, which is to be strong.

Even if the most violent flash flood breaks out upstream of the village of Wall, the levee must not be breached by the flash flood.

An old tile who had come to work in the village of Wo from Guta would crouch on the edge of the foundation, staring at the construction of the three. The vast expanse of land vacated by the cistern, he took a choking pipe and muttered, 'How much does this have to burn......

With a wrinkled forehead and cloudy eyes looking at the huge project, he had a hunch that life in the village of Wall would gradually improve because of this cistern, at least during the dry season of spring and summer, and the villagers here would not worry about irrigation.

The dug trench is waiting to be put in the steel keel, which alone is not something that the mountain dwellers in the poor countryside can afford.

Nearly 300 people were busy on the site every day, and not counting the people of Wall, who had been driving their wagons around the clock to bring back the ash from the depths of the barrens, had invested so much effort that the old bricklayer seemed to have appeared before his eyes a huge aerial lake that would enclose most of the valleys upstream of the village of Wall.

In fact, the old craftsman didn't know that the cost of the first-class cistern alone made the old village chief Bright stomp his feet in distress, although most of it came from Surdak's pocket, but this way of burning money was still unacceptable to the old village chief, who was already poor.

Fortunately, the open-pit sulphur mines in the rocky area downstream of the lava river at the foot of the Pubao Mountain produced some additional income for the village, which first bought twenty four-wheeled carriages, and later built a carpenter's workshop, and now there was a large amount of money in the village ledger, which the old village chief planned to take out and invest in the construction of the secondary reservoir.

The old village chief had a very optimistic estimate of the reservoir project, thinking that the secondary reservoir would continue to build the scale of the primary reservoir, but he did not expect that the secondary reservoir was several times larger than the first-class reservoir.

It was only now that the old village chief finally understood the design of the cistern drawn by Surdak on parchment, and the hand-drawn curved dikes were not out of proportion at all. The primary reservoir will be several times the size of the secondary reservoir.

If this scale continues, there will be a total of five steps in this stepped cistern, and the old village chief Bright really doesn't know how much money he has to invest in this cistern that is comparable to a large lake in the sky.

And just as Surdak had planned, he built the Heatlanza Guard Camp in the Barren Land of the Paglos Pass on the edge of a cliff a few hundred meters away, and told Charley and Luke that the villa was a lakeside building, and that in the future when you went out, you would see a large lake with rippling blue waves, and it would be full of flowers......

Because of this, the bricklayers in the other villages knew how much benefit the vast cistern would bring to the village, but none of them could have imagined that they could build a cistern in their own village.

Many craftsmen from other villages thought that this was the Surdak knight developing and building his own knight collar.

However, some people still don't understand that the canonized knight is not a hereditary nobleman, and this part of the assets of the territory may not fall into the hands of his son Peter Jr. in the future.

At the beginning, even the old village chief Bright thought that Surdak would classify Wall Village as a knight's leader, but he didn't expect Surdak to silently choose the knight leader in Pubao Mountain, and the Wall Village, which has invested heavily in building a lot of infrastructure, actually still belongs to all Wall villagers, including the artificial canals dug in the downstream tidal flats and hundreds of acres of wheat fields that will be opened up at the edge of the tidal flats, which are also the industries of Wall Village.

The old village chief stood on the top of the cistern construction site, looking at the sparse and scattered village of Wall, who had lived for most of his life, and had never seen a second young knight with such courage and heart as Surdak.

Although Surdak has never fought for old Sheila in the village, when the villagers see old Sheila now, in addition to putting their posture very low when they take the initiative to greet her, their eyes are more respectful, just like seeing those gorgeously dressed noble lords.

The old Sheila's life hasn't changed much, and they still live in the same house they have lived in for decades all winter, and Natasha and Rita, like the other women in the village, still work every morning to cook breakfast for the bricklayers at the cistern site.

"Rita, Rita......" A village woman not far away shouted to Rita, who was carrying water.

"Here ......

……

The village's carpenter's workshop installed a water wheel at the gate of the first-class cistern, which drove the stone mill, and a group of women grinded a large amount of cassava into white pulp next to the stone mill, which was repeatedly filtered, rinsed and precipitated to obtain a large amount of water starch, which was more delicate than wheat flour after drying.

For more than half a month, the starch produced in Vol Village has been filled with nearly 100 flour bags, and the old village chief did not distribute these starches, but prepared to send them to the city of Hailanza to sell them, and exchange them for some whole wheat flour or beans.

In short, after hearing Surdak say that this thing might be sold for money, the old village chief began to strictly prohibit the villagers from eating it.

However, apparently these people do not include the succubus Aphrodite, and now no one in the villagers of Wall Village knows her true identity, only that she is a follower of Surdak, her two demon horns are hidden in thick hair, and she wears a layer of Mithril plated streamer mask on her face, which adds a layer of mystery and danger to her whole temperament, although there are some people in Wall Village who have seen Aphrodite, but no one will talk about her beauty.

The succubus Aphrodite prepared himself for breakfast was Surdak's invented stew, in which the crystal-clear cubes were placed in a buttered frying pan, and a faint fragrance wafted out of the courtyard.

"Aphrodite ......" Andrew shouted to the succubus who was preparing breakfast in the courtyard, standing outside the courtyard.

At present, the succubus Aphrodite and Samira, Andrew, and Gulitham have moved out of Surdak's house, after all, the yard is smaller, and their work and rest time affect the normal life of the family, so they rented a courtyard in the village in the name of the guard camp, this house owner is an old couple, they will get eight silver coins a month rent, and they are very happy to live in their son's house.

Aphrodite stood up, glanced at Andrew, the indigenous warrior, unhurriedly put the delicacies from the frying pan on a plate, pressed a stone slab on the stove in the courtyard, and walked out of the courtyard.

Since living in Wall Village, no one has ever looked for him so officially.

Aphrodite suddenly felt that this seemed to be a good thing, and she put on her Mithril mask before going out, and then looked at Andrew expectantly.

Andrew brought Aphrodite to the entrance of the village, and the succubus saw Surdak and the ogre waiting under the tree at the entrance of the village, and asked Surdak with an expectant expression, "Are you going out on an adventure?" ”

"There is no such plan for the time being, if you are tired of staying in the village, you can go out for a walk with Samira." Surdak said to Aphrodite.

Succubi don't seem to do much these days other than climbing to the top of the mountain to meditate.

Aphrodite seemed to understand what Surdak was thinking, she shook her head slightly, and said to Surdak: "This kind of life is actually very good, but occasionally I feel a little bored, if you can, lend me the books you brought out of the city ruins." ”

Her face was hidden under the mask, and Surdak couldn't see her expression.

"Yes, I can't understand what these books are about, you can choose from them!" As he spoke, Surdak took out a few books from his magic pocket that he had obtained from the ruins of the city, and those books on space magic, which Surdak had turned in when he was in Walmarta, but he still kept the rest of the books he had brought out of the library.

The succubus Aphrodi glanced at Surdak, flipped through the books, picked one at random, and asked him:

"Why did you ask Andrew to call me?"

Surdak pointed to the wooden cage next to the slave camp where the two rebels were being held, who were still sleeping soundly in the cage, and the bright morning sun did not affect them at all.

"I want you to ask them for me......" Surdak said to Aphrodite.

"What do you want to know?" Aphrodite's eyes flickered.

Surdak thought for a while, and he didn't seem to have anything to ask, so he said: "Just ask, it is estimated that someone from Hylanza City will come to hand over to us tonight, I don't want to know anything about their situation, and I don't want to listen to their lies." ”

Aphrodite made a gesture and said to Surdak:

"Got it, leave it to me!"

Surdak didn't stay at the entrance of the village, he was going to go to the river channel in the tidal flats, he heard that the kobold slaves were slowing down, and there were large limestone patches in the river in front of him, and it took a lot of time to clean up the limestone, and the progress was slow, he wanted to measure the rest of the place, and wanted to see if it was feasible to divert this artificial canal......

……

When they woke up, the two rebels found that it was already daylight, and the slave camp was quiet, and all the kobolds were gone.

The two rebels looked around in the wooden cage, and this time the guards turned into a woman with a silver mask, who was wearing a loose black robe, but still unable to hide her proud figure.

Unable to see the woman's appearance, the two rebels still felt as if there was a fire burning in their lower abdomen, and they licked their lips, and their lips were about to dry and crack after not drinking water all night.

One of the rebels stood at the edge of the cage and boldly asked Aphrodite, "Is there anything else to eat?" ”

Aphrodite sat on a stone not far away and shook her head slightly.

"Then can you give me a sip of water?" The rebel pleaded with Aphrodite with a bitter face.

Aphrodite still shook her head, not speaking.

"Don't you want to ask me something?" The rebel couldn't help but say.

The succubus Aphrodite stood up and approached the two rebels step by step, and the rebel couldn't help but swallow at the sight of her graceful figure.

Approaching, Aphrodite reached out and took off the Mithril mask, revealing the bewitching beauty. Glamorous faces.

For a moment, the two rebels almost forgot to breathe, and only heard a faint voice in the spiritual world: "Look into my eyes...... You're sleepy, you're tired, you're drowsy, you've seen the wasteland, you're trying to cross the Gobi and go all the way north along the Paglos Mountains, where do you want to go? ”

'Hypnotism' is Aphrodite's best black magic in addition to 'charm'.

The rebel fell into a state of stupidity and said with a confused expression: "Let's go to the depths of Mount Paglos to find a cemetery and look for the Sword of Quelserra. ”

"Where is the tomb where the sword of Quelsella is hidden?" Aphrodite continued.

"I don't know." The rebel said.

Aphrodite didn't continue to ask, but changed the subject:

"How many people are in your organization?"

The rebels replied: "Probably a few hundred." ”

"Where do you live?"

The rebels replied: "In the foothills of the northern part of the San Carlos Plain, only the Usher can cross the Burning Plains......"

By the time the two rebels woke up again, it was already completely dark, and the kobold slaves on the other side of the slave camp seemed to have had dinner, and this time there was no one to feed them, and the last meal was last night, and they had been asleep all day, and they hadn't even drunk a sip of water, and a layer of sand seemed to be stuck to their throats.

When the two rebels saw a strong warrior sitting across from him, they were a little afraid to ask him for water, so they could only shrink into their cages and endure it.

Until there was a sound of horses' hooves in the silent night, from far to near......

A five-man squad of knights from the guard battalion arrived at the village of Wall and stopped at the entrance of the village.

When Andrew saw that they were dressed in the same outfits as himself, he stood up from the ground and waved to them.
