Ripple is a quiet field, a heavy snow has just stopped on the eve of the previous day, white "covered the whole field, at a glance, the white expanse, very spectacular."

There is a saying that the snow shines on the harvest year, perhaps, next year will be a bumper year.

At this time, it was early morning, and the road was quiet on both sides, and there was a cold atmosphere in the air that was unique to the early morning in winter, because the color of the sky was blue and cold, and the white of the ground reflected each other, and the fireball in the sky suddenly showed a lot of heat.

A few winter birds with bright colors swept over the field in an arc with extremely light shapes, accompanied by their vigorous fitness!$, as well as Kuang's crisp and pleasant call, and the blue and cold sky seemed to ripple layer by layer.

At this moment, a golden carriage drawn by four fine horses, guarded by several attendants, from far and near, the horses' hooves on the silent earth, the road sounded loudly, and the calm field was soon stirred up by the sound of this trampling, as if it had just woken from sleep.

Although it is still in the cold winter, the signs of early spring seem to be accompanied by this sound, little by little. Brown boots embroidered with gold thread stepped out of the carriage and landed on the snow. The slightly trembling body, supported by the attendants, carefully stood on the road to the edge of the field.

"Lord Baron, be careful. ”

Baron Rocas nodded, his slightly trembling hand slowly hung down, landed on the sides of his body, and moved two steps forward slightly, but he felt a little stiff because his body was numb, so he had to stop on the ground and slowly move his hands and feet.

Looking at the white field, his eyes were focused, but also a little lonely"

"Old, old, old. Baron Rocas sighed softly.

He glanced up at the sky slightly, and the blue and cold heavenly kingdom seemed to be one step closer to him.

"It's been another year old, I'm old, I really don't accept old age. The new year has passed, and the festive atmosphere seems to be still there, but this sense of happiness is getting farther and farther away from his childhood, and it seems to be gradually leaving him.

The wind blew gently, with the chill of the forest, and Baron Rocas was wearing heavy clothes, but he was not afraid of the cold.

"Hasn't the agricultural steward arrived yet?" he comes to inspect the fields at this time of year, and winter rest is also important for the fields.

Only this time, it happened to coincide with the arrival of another heavy snowfall, so it was delayed for a few days.

"Back to the Baron, I have already informed the agricultural steward, and I should be able to arrive soon. One of his cronies said.

Sure enough, after a while, the agricultural steward who got the news urged the horse to come.

Baron Rocas stood at the edge of the field, listening to him report to him on the measures he had taken to protect the fields in the winter and the arrangements for the farmers, but his eyes kept looking at the large fields.

To the east of here, it was a territory that was newly incorporated into the territory during the Demon Calamity, but now more than a year has passed, and this territory is still barren, except for a few manors built in a few places, which have been distributed to some subordinates and free people, and other large areas of land are so deserted, which makes people feel distressed.

It's all a large piece of land, and as long as it is cultivated properly, it can become a fertile farmland for producing grain, and he has grain in his hands, and he does not panic in his heart, this is certainly not false, and he is a lord of the land, how can he not understand? It's just that he has land, but ...... Look around, in addition to farmland, there is only land, even those prosperous towns in the past, now, they are only a little stronger than the villages.

There is simply no extra effort to reclaim new land.

"There is still a lack of population, it seems that it depends on him......" Baron Rocas secretly calculated, when will he be able to get some labor from that son-in-law, as long as there are a few hundred people, they can all cultivate some land at the beginning of spring, these are extremely important" This year's grain production is less than last year's one-percent, this year, how sure are you that you can reverse this situation?" After thinking for a while, Baron Rocas finally spoke, and naturally asked the agricultural steward standing beside him.

"Lord Baron, the reason why the grain harvest was low last year was because of the lack of rain, as long as there is enough rain this year, the grain production will definitely be able to go up......," the agricultural steward wiped his sweat and explained cautiously.

"Why is there not enough rain, why has the food of the Tittashaw increased instead?" asked Baron Rocas coldly.

"Lord Baron, the Tita Sho Collar launches new seeds every year, you know...... "But when your old man planted the seeds last year, he was having an awkward relationship with the other party, and he didn't use the seeds sent by others at all, and then the yield was reduced, and he was depressed, who is to blame?"

Besides, I also told your old man at the time of the autumn harvest, didn't you just approve it at that time, why do you bring it up again now?

The agricultural steward was depressed in his heart, but he couldn't say it clearly.

In fact, Baron Rocas also knows about this, as soon as he gets old, sometimes he will inevitably have some temper, especially when his little daughter, who has always been doted on, has a husband, and focuses his mind on her husband and children, which makes him even more depressed. Seeing the somewhat aggrieved look of the agricultural steward, Baron Rocas became more and more depressed. "This year, you will lead people to cultivate as much land as you can in the eastern territory, and if the yield is high at the end of the year, I will reward you. ”

"Yes, sir. Hearing that the manpower problem was to be solved by adults, the agricultural steward exhaled slightly, feeling that the burden on his shoulders was not so heavy.

Immediately afterward, accompanied by these subordinates, Baron Rocas walked a little further, and the sky began to darken. The cold wind swept across the land, and the snowflakes fluttered down from the sky, carrying the cold that seemed to penetrate the skin, and on the ground, the white blanket was getting thicker and thicker.

"Let's go back. Baron Rocas, who had never been old again, really felt his aging at this time, perhaps, he was already old, right? Looking up at the sky again, he exhaled and turned to leave.

In the marginal forest.

The white snow has also made a home here, and in addition to the snowflakes that fall on the branches, the dark earth is also covered with a thick layer.

A few lines of deep footprints, on a path, seemed so clear, it was a few people dressed in adventurer costumes, but their sleek appearance did not look like ordinary adventurers at all, more like well-trained sergeants.

"How's your doing?" one of the middle-aged men asked the young man next to him. There were five of them in their group, all between twenty and forty years old, and it was the golden stage.

There was a thin bead of sweat on the forehead of the young man, and although it was the cold season, it was not so easy to advance in the forest, not to mention that they were accustomed to riding horses, and they were really not good at walking on foot.

The ground is slippery, and the snow and sometimes stumbling stones and branches make it difficult to guard against. But fortunately, they are agile, and although it is difficult to move forward, they can continue to walk inside.

"It's almost time for the elves, everyone be careful. The middle-aged man said softly. They are actually paladins of the Lord of Radiance's Church, and this time they came in, it was the church above that sent their team of five to enter the forest to investigate the truth about the annihilation of the members of the Lord of Radiance Church in this county, and now, they have been walking in the forest for a week, carefully avoiding the attention of the people in the forest house, and slowly moving towards the depths of the forest.

Suddenly, a strong light flashed in front of them, and the five people felt the danger coming at the same time, and they all fell to the ground immediately, but the younger man was less experienced, and fell a little slower, and his neck was pierced through by a flying arrow, and when he fell to the ground, he was already dead and could not die anymore.

"It's not good! It's been revealed by the elves!" the other four were shocked and hurriedly resisted.

The fighting spirit constantly rose from around their bodies, protecting their bodies, and many of the elves on the opposite side were naturally good at magic.

Powerful waves of magic were stirring the air, and a dangerous aura that hit their faces made the four of them turn around and want to escape.

It's a pity that it was too late, and that day, the snow was falling very much, and those five people never had a chance to step out of the forest for half a step.

"What? The group of five is all dead there?" In some golden place, a man in a noble robe walked back and forth, his tone tinged with anger and unease.

"What kind of secret weapon does the elves possess? can destroy my paladins again and again? It's really puzzling, what do you think it will be? magic, forbidden spells, or what formation?"

As for Anion's canonization, the news did not spread among the middle and lower classes, and although this person was a newly transferred archbishop, he did not know.

The other people in the hall were carefully holding their breath, as if they were very afraid of the person in front of them, and they didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing this, the man who was on fire was somewhat satisfied, but he felt depressed at the thought that the entire county church had died in that inexplicable forest.

What's the matter??A slap in the face from the elves?

"I heard that there is another group of people in that forest, right?" the man suddenly asked, recalling what the secret report said.

At this time, someone cautiously walked out and answered: "Bishop Hui, at the edge of the forest, there is a range, which is a village and town of Viscount Tetacho......"

"Oh, I see. "I thought it was some useful information, but when I heard that it was where the young viscount was, he didn't care. With that young man's future and talent, it was impossible to mix with the elves.

Especially Luo Meng's large-scale transformation of the farmland, which is completely separate from the elf druid, is also something that cannot be disguised, thinking of this, he commanded: "Continue to pay close attention to the edge forest, and also, the matter of the inner 6 demon calamity, you must also hurry up, understand?"

"Yes. Someone replied respectfully
