Although it is not known what the purpose of the magician of the Dark Moon Gate flew around the Wall, what can be felt is that the magician has brought an invisible pressure to the Wall, which seems to have reached the hearts of every villager.

Some villagers in the village have begun to secretly talk about the magician who can ride the magic handle and fly around, and the eyes of the villagers are also strange when they see the magicians in the adventure group at the entrance of the village.

Surdak didn't have much to do about it, and although he had given away the Crystal Key, the magicians of the Darkmoon Gate didn't seem to have forgotten Wall.

Surdak and the old village chief walked around the cistern site first.

Approaching the harvest festival, the main grouting of the four-level reservoir dam at the reservoir site will be carried out after the harvest festival, and now that the dam steel and plywood are ready, the volcanic ash is piled up like a hill on the construction site, and the construction site is quiet, and the bricklayers have returned to their respective villages two days ago, and they will return one after the other after the harvest festival.

The old village chief stroked the plywood of the main body of the dam with one hand, and from time to time tapped the plywood with his knuckles to check whether the plywood was firmly tied.

Where the plywood was not enclosed, a bundle of steel bars the size of a little finger had been brought from the blacksmith's workshop in Bena, and by now Surdak had paid nearly five hundred gold coins for the Reservoir Project alone.

The village chief of Brett said to Surdak: "After the harvest festival, the main body of the dam of the fourth-level reservoir will be poured, by the way, Dak, is the height of the fifth-level dam designed a bit short?" If you repair all the repairs, why don't you build them higher? ”

The fifth-level cistern occupies the largest area, and the fifth-level cistern is not a huge monolithic pool, but is composed of thirteen interlocking pools, the dam of these pools is only one meter high, the old village chief knows Surdak's thoughts, but he prefers that this large dam can store more water.

The two things that the old village chief wanted to do most in his life: one thing was to make the village no longer short of water, and the other was to reclaim the fields that could feed the villagers, and now these two things have been realized, but he still habitually wants to save more water and reclaim more land......

Standing on the mountainous terrain of the fifth-level cistern, which had not yet been completely leveled, Surdak said to the old village chief:

"I'm going to turn this pool into a big bath, spread a layer of sand around the pool, and plant some willow trees, so that in the summer, the children of the village can cool off without worrying about the danger of being too deep."

The old village chief was unwilling, he smacked his mouth, took out a walnut pipe from his arms, filled the pipe with some tobacco, and did not light it, so he put it in his mouth and took two puffs, his brows furrowed into Sichuan characters.

Surdak continued: "According to the original design, the dam can actually store water only in the first three levels, the fourth level of the reservoir is to ensure that the rainy season outbreak of flash floods buffer storage water, we have fenced off the mountain spring in the upper valley, we have to leave a place for everyone to draw water, in the future I plan to connect some copper pipes from one of the five level reservoir to the pool, so that the mountain spring can be directly delivered to every household." ”

"The project is almost complete, and I certainly know that. It's just that the more you understand, the more you can't figure it out, the total cost of the latter two reservoirs is nearly twice as expensive as the first three levels, and the manpower and material resources invested are huge, and in the end the effect is actually useless, and I always feel that these two reservoirs are built a bit of a loss! Chief Bright said earnestly.

"If there is anything to lose, you will know the benefits later." Surdak said with a 'hehe' smile.

The central square of the village is still very lively, the villagers have become accustomed to eating big pot rice in the square, when the old village chief and Surdak passed through the village square, the villagers stood up and greeted the two, the old village chief has never had a good face for these villagers who are holding big wooden bowls to eat and drink.

At this moment, he scolded angrily at a group of young people squatting in the corner to eat: "Those of you who have not participated in the construction of the townhouse building, don't always run here every day to eat, the canteen here is prepared by the craftsmen of the townhouse." ”

A group of young people from the village said, "Uncle Bright, we are all working on the construction site of the townhouse. ”

The village chief of Bright immediately scolded angrily: "Get out of the way, you kid thinks I'm old and confused, I don't know that you are driving a carriage at the reservoir construction site?" ”

He picked up the cane in his hand and limped briskly towards the young men.

The other young people in the village immediately panicked and explained as they ran: "Uncle Bright, we just drink porridge and ......"

"Haha......"

The women of the village sat on the stone bars next to the square and watched the excitement, and the originally serious topic made a lot of laughter.

The village chief of Bright walked to the big iron pot where the multigrain porridge was boiling with an angry face, and instructed the cook who was boiling the multigrain porridge: "You show me the grain bag, and when the grain is used up in the day, I will change people." ”

Frightened, the cook hurriedly scooped two more scoops of water into the cauldron......

Surdak and the head of the village of Bright walked into the carpenter's workshop, because the townhouses have been completed one after another, now the triangular wooden frame on the roof of the carpenter's workshop has been built, and the wooden window frames are being built in large quantities, some of the finished window frames are hung in the open space next to the carpenter's workshop, where a large pergola has been built with shade cloth, and all the varnished windows are dried here, and you can smell a strong smell of paint when you walk around here.

It was getting late, the lights were still lit in the carpenter's workshop, and a group of carpenters were rushing to make the last window frames.

The carpenter's workshop has always been the busiest place in the village of Wall, with stacks of lumber piled up in warehouses that quickly run out.

Surdak followed the old village chief to the terraced houses in front of the village, most of the terraced houses at the entrance of the village have been rented by merchants and turned into temporary residences and warehouses, due to the influx of a large number of adventure groups in the barren land, so the village entrance market is becoming more and more prosperous, this time attracted a lot of merchants, and the terraced houses at the entrance of the village have been fully utilized.

A large row house near the river became a camp for kobold slaves, where six hundred kobold slaves lived.

Surdak and the old village chief of Bright walked towards the kobold slave camp, and in the distance they heard a shouting from the village overseer, accompanied by the kobold slaves whispering pleading, and the sound of quarrel could be heard far away in the silent night.

The old village chief heard the sound of the quarrel, but he was not surprised, only that this group of kobold slaves had been uneasy for some time recently.

When the two of them walked to the kobold slave camp, they saw that the village overseer was scolding a group of kobolds, and the kobold led by a candle on his head, and he was resigned to the overseer's reprimand. Behind the kobold leader, a group of kobolds let out a whimpering sound of protest.

Before Surdak could figure out what was going on, Chief Brett told the story of what happened.

The reason is really that Surdak is a little crying and laughing, the kobold slaves are protesting to the overseer, they think that even as slaves, they will not be able to live such an undignified life in the future, the kobold slaves have applied for the kobold male and female slaves to live separately, they need two slave camps, the old village chief thinks that it is nothing, just divide this slave camp in two, and separate it from it.

But the kobold slaves' next request is a bit out of line, the kobold slaves hope that their daily labor can be exchanged for contributions, as long as the contribution is sufficient, the village must allow the kobold slaves to form a family, and the newly formed family should have a separate room to ensure personal privacy and so on.

These kobold slaves began to protest to fight for some welfare for themselves.

However, they make a fuss after dinner and before going to bed, and they still work honestly during the day, and when it is time to go to bed, they will obediently return to the camp to rest.

The village chief of Bright was troubled by this, and felt that it was necessary to discuss this matter with Surdak, mainly because these kobold slaves were very measured, and they were completely unable to suppress it, and at the same time, they were indeed seeking welfare for themselves.

The old village chief was ready to separate the slave camps after the harvest festival, but he had prepared a single gun room for the dog men and women—a request that the old village chief did not grant.

Surdak couldn't understand how this group of submissive kobold slaves had always been very honest, how could they make so many demands recently......

But then he found out what was wrong, and at a glance he saw the necklace that the kobold leader was wearing around his neck, it was a necklace made of stones, which was nothing alone, but the pendant of this stone necklace was very unusual, the pendant was a crescent-shaped stone.

Surdak suddenly remembered that more than a month ago, Selena had put her arms around herself and said that she wanted to try to develop followers of the Dark Goddess among this group of kobold slaves - it seems that the effect is very remarkable, and it is obvious that this kobold leader has become a follower of the Dark Goddess, and even wears a necklace representing the light of the moon around his neck......

He even suspected that the kobold slaves were fighting for their rights this time, and they were instructed by Selena.

After this whole summer, the kobold slaves proved their worth to the people of Vol Village, and they had been working tirelessly from the beginning of digging the river to the later beginning of the quarry, and had undertaken most of the hardest and most tiring labor, so that now they now made some demands, and the old village chief felt that he could satisfy them as much as he could.

When the overseer saw that the old village chief and Surdak had arrived so late, he thought that they had heard that the kobold slaves were in a camp and had come in a hurry, and he immediately felt that he had not done his job well, and in anger he whipped the kobold leader severely.

The kobold leader was prostrate on the ground, facing the overseer's whip, with a candle on his head, crawling on the ground and not knowing what he was chanting.

"Vaal, who gave you permission to whip them......"

The old village chief walked over quickly, snatched the whip from the hand of the villager overseer, and scolded angrily.
