The discomfort of crossing the Void quickly vanished from Surdak.

Standing on the banks of the lava river, Surdak packed his bags and packed all the precious magical materials on the salamander's body into his magic belt.

Charlie called a four-wheeled carriage from the foot of the hill and loaded all the meat of the four salamanders into the wagon, ready to be transported back to the village of Wall, the meat of the salamanders was very tender and could be sold at a very good price in the market of the city of Highlandza.

They can swim in the hot lava river when they are alive, but when they die, they can still be roasted until they are cooked and skewered on the fire.

This river of lava continues all the way to the top of the mountain.

Due to the attack on the village of Wo by the rebel knights, the Surdak team abandoned their intention to continue their exploration to the top of Puss Mountain.

Charley and two other young men had already learned from Surdak that the village had been attacked by rebel knights, and they were anxious to find out what was going on in the village and in their home.

Surdak hurried back to his makeshift camp in the lower reaches of the Lava River, where Luke had already led the kobold slaves to set up a new camp at the foot of the mountain.

At the foot of Pubao Mountain there was a kind of shale suitable for building houses, which could be found everywhere in the vicinity, and the kobold slaves carried a large amount of shale, and built three roofless sheds next to a cliff, the roof of which was covered with a layer of reed mats, and then covered with dust cloths, and in just half a day, a temporary camp for a minimalist sulfur mine was built.

Luke installed the water gathering rune plate on a shady rock wall, and placed a stone trough to receive water under the rune board, and the gem base in the center of the rune board was inlaid with a magic crystal fragment, under the flow of magic power, this water gathering rune board continued to gather water droplets into the stone trough, and at this moment there was a small amount of clear water stored in the stone trough.

The mine camp is located in the lower reaches of the lava river, which is dotted with lava rivers.

The so-called lava rivers look like black rocks on the surface, with stinking green smoke occasionally emitting from some places, but beneath these black rocks are like blood vessels, hiding lava rivers. If you accidentally step on these black crusts, you may fall into the hot magma, so this place is very dangerous.

Of course, the lava river also has a convenient side for people, the biggest advantage of this kind of dark river is that there is no need to make a fire to cook, as long as you find a smoke hole in the nearby black rock field, and use a hammer to smash the mouth of the gas hole, you can see the magma flowing a foot below. You only need to sit firmly on top of the hole in a large iron pot to boil water and cook rice and soup.

The kobold slaves seemed very peaceful, and in fact the kobolds didn't mind digging a sulphur mine here as long as they were willing to give them food.

Hearing that something had happened in Wall, Luke wanted to return to Wall, but the newly built mine camp needed to be guarded, and when he heard that the head of Bright was seriously injured, he asked Charley to return to Wall, and he chose to stay at the camp.

Surdak and his entourage then rushed back to the village of Wall overnight.

……

A rain washed away the blood from the village square, although some of the traces left by the battle are still vivid.

The slave camp and children's yard at the entrance of the village have completely collapsed, and a group of kobold slaves who have nowhere to escape have chosen to return to the village of Wall after a long circle in the rain, and now they are all sitting quietly on the ruins of the slave camp shed, and the rebel knights have killed a few kobold slaves, as if it does not have much effect on them.

The rebel knights destroyed many of the earthen walls in the village, and also ripped off some roofs, trampled on many wheat fields by the stream, and even the dead tree at the entrance of the village was not spared, with a broken knight's spear stuck in the trunk, and the wooden plaque in the village of Wall was smashed to pieces.

With the arrival of the rainy season, the villagers' hard days will come to an end, and when the ravine is covered with grass, at least no one in the nineteen villages in the barren land will go hungry again.

The children's home in the village suddenly became much more deserted, and even the children in the village came to eat a lot less every day.

Selena moved the children's home to the carpenter's workshop next to the village square, where she built a simpler awning, hung a wooden board outside the earthen wall, and wrote some imperial characters on it with charcoal to teach the village children to learn Chinese.

The injured villagers finally waited for Surdak and his party to return to the village.

Everyone looked at the horse riding with anticipation. The dust servants rushed to Surdak in the village, Surdak waved to the villagers, jumped off the horse, and performed holy light magic on the village square to heal the villagers' injuries, Andrew as Surdak's assistant, responsible for wound rebandaging and bone correction, from time to time there were one or two heart-rending screams in the central square of the village.

Andrew, who has an experienced experience in bone grafting, knows that if the bone is broken and the connection is crooked, even if it heals in the future, it will be disabled, so it is better to reconnect it before the bone seam is not healed.

With Andrew's help, Surdak was much more relaxed, and he only had to focus on treating the injured villagers with the 'Holy Light Technique'.

Charlie hurried all the way home, and when he pushed the door open, he saw the old village chief, whose upper body was wrapped in bandages, sitting on a chaise longue, and Aunt Bright was feeding the broth with a spoon. I couldn't help but stand at the door with a stunned face.

The old village chief recovered quickly from his injuries, and under the protection of the 'Divine Blessed Body', he was able to get out of bed on his own by the third day. This speed of recovery simply frightened the family, but it was found that there was nothing abnormal in his body except that his injuries healed super quickly, and the family gradually put their hearts back in their stomachs.

It had been two days since Samira left the village of Vor without any news.

Only thirty-four of the war horses left by the rebel knights survived, and sixteen of them were cut into horse meat, and each villager was given a large piece of horse meat.

Surdak was initially reluctant to eat these horses, as a knight, these horses were their closest companions, and many cavalry battalions had an unwritten rule not to eat horse meat, even if they starved to death, they would not eat their companions, which was the basic virtue that a knight needed to have.

However, the villagers of Vol Village did not have a taboo in this regard, and the days that Vol Village could eat meat all year round could be counted with both hands, and it was basically impossible for the villagers to give up eating horse meat, so Surdak let them eat the horse meat.

In the last two days, even the large iron pot on the side of the kobold slave camp has been boiling large chunks of bone broth.

For these war horses, the kobold slaves did not have any psychological burden, and like other subhuman races, they preferred to eat the internal organs of animals, believing that the internal organs were richer in fat and more tender in meat.

There are not many gold coins found from these rebel knights, the most valuable thing on their bodies is this set of hard leather armor, in addition to the hard leather armor, the weapons of the rebel knights are also not bad, whether it is the knight's spear, or the long sword, the knight's light shield is very sophisticated, as for the corpses of the rebel knights, they were hung on the cross of the Paglos Pass by the angry villagers and exposed to the sun.

As a result, hundreds of scavenging vultures hovered over the Paglos Pass.

The tidal flats of the river bay outside the village were moistened by this rain, and the industrious people of the village of Wall certainly did not miss such a rare opportunity to sow seeds, and the seeds that Surdak had brought back from the city of Hylanza were planted on the newly opened land.

Rainwater from the hillsides flows into the 15-metre-wide drain and then into the underground river 10 kilometres away.

In previous years, it only took one rain to turn it into a swamp.

Now this drainage canal keeps the large amount of rainwater on the hillside out of the tidal flats, and this large tidal flat has become hundreds of acres of fertile land.

The sudden rain brought to a halt the cistern site in the upper reaches of the village, leaving it in shambles, and the ash brought back from the depths of the barren land was soaked in rain and turned into a lump of limestone.

This limestone block needs to be re-calcined and ground to turn back into pozzolana cement.

Under the current conditions of the village, of course, it was impossible to build a kiln for calcining cement, so the volcanic ash that had been painstakingly brought back from the depths of the barren land was completely wasted and became worthless.

The bricklayers on the site have left the village, and after the first rain falls, they have to rush back to the village to start farming, otherwise they will not be able to plant in time, which will affect the autumn harvest.

The land in the barren land is barren, so the villagers are not going to miss this best time to plant.

The main body of the security station built on the edge of the stone cliff in the upper reaches of the village is considered to be completely completed, as long as the main beam is erected on the roof, you can spread rafters on the tripod, Surdak is not going to lay a thick red thatch on the roof, he wants to lay a layer of green tiles on the roof, and a terrace can be built outside the skylight of the attic to overlook the distance, this kind of fish-scale square green tiles can be bought in the workshops of the city of Highlandsa, most of the buildings in the city of Highlandsa are paved with this kind of green tiles.

The business of purchasing the blue tiles was handed over to the carriage shop of the city of Highlandsa.

The news of the rebel attack on the village of Wall soon spread to the city of Highlandsa, and the Hylantha Guard Battalion and the Magic Guild Law Enforcement Group both sent people to find out the specific situation, and the people in charge of investigating the matter were all friends of Surdak. Kesment Mente.

As for the Magic Guild Enforcement Regiment, this time the Lance mage was sent again, so the matter quickly subsided, and the loot seized by Wall Village was preserved to the greatest extent.

Of course, most of the personal belongings of the electric magician Gordon were taken away by Lance, and the Magic Guild would not let such a personal belongings whose strength was infinitely close to that of the Great Magician be left out, as for the specific compensation given by the Magic Guild, it would only be determined after the specific value of these personal belongings was identified.

From Karl's mouth, Surdak heard that this group of rebels had also attacked a noble manor in the city of Bena, and it is unknown how they could sneak into the city of Highlandza.

……

Surdak sat in a chair by the window, staring helplessly at the succubus Aphrodite across the square table.

Aphrodite squeezed out a flattering smile at him, and seeing that Surdak was unmoved, his charming face suddenly collapsed, and he lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.

On the desk was a key-shaped magic crystal that had been obtained from the wizard of Kirdon and had been secretly kept by the succubus Aphrodite, and now Surdak was sure that the magicians of the Magic Guild were looking for it.

Just now, the succubus Aphrodite also injected mana into this magic crystal, and saw the magic crystal cast a phantom, like a broken corner of a three-dimensional map, although Surdak didn't know where it was, even if he was stupid, he could guess that this magic crystal contained some secrets.

Wizards Geddon belong to the magical organization 'Darkmoon Gate', and if they knew that this magic crystal was still in their hands, they would definitely do everything possible to get it back, and Surdak didn't want to be remembered by a group of mages who were good at spatial magic.

Recently, there has been a succession of rebels from all over Bena Province to the north, probably for this thing, they have ventured into Bena Province, and the group of intelligence officers in Bena City have been running around all day long, and Surdak certainly does not want this group of rebel knights to attack the village of Wall again.

This magic crystal actually fell into his hand, and Surdak rubbed his forehead with his hand.

"Why don't we hand over this magic crystal to the Hylantha Magic Guild Enforcement Team now?" Andrew sat in the doorway and suggested to Surdak.

He also knew that this matter was a bit troublesome, and the rebel knight attack on the village that Wall Village experienced a few days ago was probably related to this.

"Well, I'll personally send this magic crystal to the Magic Guild, anyway, this trouble can't be left in our hands." Surdak nodded and said categorically.

Aphrodite heard that Surdak wanted to hand over the magic crystal to the Magic Guild, and hurriedly covered it with her hand.

"Remember when you asked me to interrogate those two rebels?" Aphrodi said to Surdak.

“……”

Surdak, of course, remembers.

However, not long after, the two rebels died on the way back to the city of Highlandza, and he was busy building the village of Wall, so he did not bother about it.

Succubus Aphrodite blinked and said, "I hypnotized those two rebels, and they told me that the reason why they passed through the barren land and entered Mount Paglos was because the rebel group wanted to find a secret place in Mount Paglos, and I think the answer may be in this magic crystal." ”

This seems to be more trouble than expected......

"No, I'll leave immediately, this magic crystal can't stay with us!"

As he spoke, Surdak was about to pick up the magic crystal from the table, but Aphrodi was a little reluctant, so he pressed the magic crystal with his hand, and the two of them each held one end of the magic crystal, and with a little force, the magic crystal that looked a little old actually cracked......
