The four months passed quickly, and late autumn was over, and the Valoran continent entered the middle of winter.

The weather is starting to get cold.

The jade collar is developing step by step and has a new look.

The crops in the fields have already been harvested and sent to the granary, and the fruitful fruit forests in the north have allowed the people of the Emerald Collar to enjoy the abundance, and at the same time, they have also been exported to the immortal fortress and villages along the way in the form of material exchange, and some other materials and small items have been exchanged for the Emerald Collar, and the rest of the fruits can only be dried into dried fruits and put into mud jars because the technology of making glass is not yet mature, and they have become small snacks in winter.

By hunting the furs of wild beasts and harvesting the cotton fields in the southern part of the Shiyin Mountains, the tailor shop of the Emerald Collar gathered female workers and made a large number of winter clothes, so that the more than 400 people of the Emerald Collar were dressed in warm clothes, and in the late autumn, the accumulated firewood was harvested and piled up outside the wooden houses of the collars, so that the villagers who had come down in their leisure were proudly and comfortably leaned by the stove, enjoying the long-lost tranquility of winter.

The barracks to the east already had a rough outline, the low walls of less than half a meter divided the eastern zone into several different parts, the garrisons of the Black Iron Guard and the Shadow Crossbowmen were clearly demarcated, and the barracks, like the rest of the territory, were also equipped with a number of dry toilets to prevent open defecation.

There are also a lot of training objects at the shooting range and training ground, the most notable of which is the metal wheel-rail sliding combat dummy holding a shield and a wooden knife, and the swinging arrow target that can be shaken by hemp rope and pulley, which makes the training soldiers have a lot of fun.

The former soldiers can experience the realistic force feedback of the dummy during training, constantly adjusting their slashing direction and force, so as to achieve realistic training, while the latter makes many crossbowmen who are keen on crossbows drop their crossbows and pick up shoddy training short bows to devote themselves to shooting training.

The fun of projectile and direct fire divided the archers into two distinct groups, and began to fight openly and secretly, forming a positive and healthy competitive relationship.

The war workshops to the south are day and night, and the undying furnaces are spitting scorching fire, rapidly smelting ore and crafting all sorts of things.

Not only farm tools, weapons and armor, but also many samples were created in Leicester's blueprints, such as climbing claw boots and flying tiger claws for climbing in mountains and caves, as well as rope ladders that could be attached to hornstones.

This opened the eyes of the blacksmith apprentices of the Emerald Lord, who were amazed by the unbridled imagination and design concept of the lord, and admired by the erudite and exquisite forging skills of the old blacksmith master of Christol.

The only bad thing is that for the sake of secrecy, the blacksmith and his family are still fixed in the war workshop, and they are still under surveillance and control.

Fortunately, after Leicester did a good job of prevention, he specially arranged a month's vacation for the blacksmiths, except for the emerald collar, the blacksmiths and their families were free to move, which allowed the blacksmiths who had been suppressed for several months to successfully release the pressure in their hearts, so that the blacksmiths' dissatisfaction could be alleviated, and the bad ending of the strike rebellion was avoided.

With the promise that their vacation would be extended again, the blacksmiths who returned to the workshop once again threw themselves into their enthusiastic work, preparing all kinds of supplies and equipment to invade the underworld.

The residential area to the west was also slowly expanding, and under Leicester's plan, a place was set aside in the inner ring for entertainment and recreation, and the first tavern and inn under the control of the Emerald Collar were built.

The former provided the lords with a small amount of wine and ale that they had obtained in exchange for goods with the Immortal Fortress and Shurima merchants, while the latter served as a transit point for trading posts, providing a place for caravans to rest and replenish their supplies on the Deno line.

It is worth mentioning that the Emerald Collar also had its own caravanserais, and began to travel back and forth between Demacia and the Immortal Fortress, circulating various materials in the form of ancient Shurima coins or barter.

Under the leadership of Shurima's caravan uncle, Demacia finally acquiesced in this sudden and inappropriate relationship,

Demacia on the west coast is like a pure and shy little girl, who is pulled into the shadows in a dazed and nervous way, and allows the Emerald Caravan, a savage man belonging to Noxus, to sail into his secret hinterland in a gentle manner, back and forth, and when he comes back to his senses, he has left indelible traces.

After all, even the people of Demacia had to admit that many of the small objects brought in from the jadeite, such as razors, nail clippers, soul extractors, or tweezers, seemed inconspicuous, but they were of great use, and they could be said to have changed the way of life of many Demacians, making the upper classes who held power more elegant and 'noble'.

Although Demacia will soon be able to imitate and create it himself, there are still many 'upper Demacians' who are unwilling to let themselves miss out on the exquisite Emerald Collar handicraft in order to save a few Shurima coins, and the objects they imitate do not have the delicate green Emerald leaf notch.

This allowed the Emerald Collar to collect a lot of ancient coins of Shurima, including many priceless gold coins.

In the future planning, the West District Ring will become the most prosperous commercial area in the outer city of the Jade Territory.

At this time, there was not even a suitable currency, and most of the time the forces were still in their primitive form of bartering, and it was only appropriate to trade with Shurima or urgently needed important goods as currency.

Life shows its unyielding will, dozens of croaking lives were born in the winter of this year, the jade collar has a lot more vitality, and the jade collar that encourages childbirth rewards a lot of living materials for families who give birth to offspring.

With enough food and no shortage of housing, many young people who were only in their teens quickly teamed up, and began to work hard to build children throughout the winter, and asked carpenters to repair many collapsed and broken wooden beds.

Perhaps the oak and birch woods used to build the house are not sound insulation, walking on the gravel streets of the West End, you will always hear a faint sound of beauty, so that the young girls will be red-faced, and the long-time Noxian aunts will laugh and sigh.

After the incident, the women couldn't help but sigh with worry, just because the lord had no heirs, in case something went wrong like before......

Then he went home worriedly and began to wash and dress, looked at the bronze mirror, and then looked at his husband with a sigh of loss.

The five Nightblade Slayer returned to the Emerald Realm a few months ago, and under the leadership of Morris, the five of them handed over to Leicester, recounting everything they had experienced along the way, gaining Lester's approval, and also re-swearing allegiance to Lester, becoming the first Nightblade Slayer to be loyal only to the Emerald Lord.

Later, Morris and the others brought a few pickled human heads to the survivors of North Norr Village who were still in the Shadow Crossbowman Force, causing a venting howl and a lot of commotion.

Hearing about the tragic end of the robbers, the villagers who were the survivors of the hatred only felt very happy, and they hated to take off a few pieces of meat on the robbers' bodies.

At this point, the feud between the Guillotine Bandit Group and the village of North Noll was completely settled.
