Section 9
The questions that plagued Ingrid also plagued many in Breeze.
They weep because of the touching love between Jack and Ruth in the disaster, and because Jack can clearly survive but die is unacceptable.
No one thinks about "pure fiction" - the Mage Tower did collapse three hundred years ago, and "The Fall of the Mage Tower" really got the consent of the Mage Tower, how could it be fake?
So a view is gradually becoming the mainstream: we will expose our essence because of danger, just as a mother protects her child, Jack protects Ruth, this is a great love that sacrifices herself to redeem her lover -
In short, when it was discovered that the lords really couldn't get tired of watching "The Fall of the Mage Tower", Annan let them go, but corrected their title of "Lord Jack".
Nearly half of the territory was cleared, and the saplings that had been left behind were planted in the glades. The druids never appeared, and perhaps the felling of the woods wasn't enough to attract the druids' attention.
Annan finally summoned a large fire elemental. On the seventh morning of Starmoon Bay, the burning stump torch dispelled the morning cold.
The captain of the guard, who was still patrolling outside the bay of the star, saw the smoke and rushed back, and then thought that the gnolls might come to investigate and expand the patrol area.
Winter was approaching, and Annam gave up building a perfect coastal town, but first built a residence with cut wood, and then expanded and repaired the territory little by little during the long winter.
On the warm, charred soil, people began to build their houses – the colder weather was getting colder and the flatter ones kept them beautiful, and the extravagant log huts were sturdy and warm enough to be unsightly.
Annam's "Lord's Mansion" is also just a log house built by the ogre himself.
At first, people were afraid of ogres, even the lord's men. They would still lead the child to hide as it approached - the fear of strangeness quickly disappeared as the ogre carried the log around to help. The people grew accustomed to the stupid but clever man, and the children would be bolder than anyone else in their leisure time, making faces at the ogre and running away.
On the tenth day, a community of wooden huts resembling shacks appeared in the coastal forest.
The abrupt and humble wooden huts spoil the beauty of the bay, but for the formerly hungry and outcasts, there is food, shelter and endless work – this is their home.
"Your Lord!"
"Lord Annan."
"Master Jack......"
The people called Annan in a gossiping tongue to show respect.
Annan responded to the enthusiasm of his people and returned to the big house, where the warm flame of the mud-filled fireplace dispelled the chill of the seaside. Placing a piece of dried cow dung, Annan sat down at the desk, which was covered with stones, and opened the memo.
Xingyue Bay is still very simple in various ways, and it is more appropriate to describe it as a camp than a village. Ruling the people was not as easy as expected, and even when Ingrid was helping, many details were overlooked.
For example, it took Annan three days to stop the people from running into the woods to defecate, and built two latrines on the periphery while they were still living on ox carts. But no one knew how to collect dung, and the pile of dung was getting full...... Therefore, the manure of more than 300 people and 50 cows can only be buried as base fertilizer in the east, where the farmland is planned. But there was a forest over there, so I had to divide people to reclaim a piece of land in advance......
And logging. Although the fire in the Sunset Plains had long since been extinguished, it also brought the attention of the druids to the forest, and Annan could not cut the wood in a more efficient way, so he had to endure the sound of logging from day to night.
Annan is even dreaming of logging with an ax these days.
Ingrid suggested that Annan buy some more cattle, and only 38 of the 50 cattle she brought with her were left—bulls that were unaccustomed to the water or were restless, frequent, and difficult to approach
"Don't buy so many bulls." Ingrid told Annan that a few breeding cows can breed hundreds of cows. And buying 25 bulls and 25 cows not only exposed Annan's lack of common sense, but also made them eat several meals of beef, and even the leaders were given several pieces.
As night fell, they lit a bonfire in the open space of the camp. Everyone gathers around the campfire - continue watching The Fall of the Mage's Tower.
Annan's penchant for magical images was a source of distress for Annan, who hadn't told a story of killing the nezumi in days, and whose lords were unaware of the glorious deeds of their valiant lords.
Annan sat bored for a while before returning to the big house to prepare for the rest of the arrangements. Once the camp was built, the Knights would be able to scout the area beyond the bay.
Old Zoren came in with a cane.
The lame old Zoren couldn't help much, and even the weather forecast was no longer accurate because of the humidity of the bay. The elder Zollen once said that he was 50 percent accurate, but Annan found that 50 percent of what he said was either accurate or inaccurate.
Just because there is no old Zoren now does not mean that there will be no in the future. Tomorrow the village is built, and old Zoren can continue his old job in Breezy City, a scavenger patrolman.
He asked Annan why he hadn't taken Aunt Susan and them over.
"It's too hard to build the territory, and I'll take them over when it's done."
Old Zoren was extremely remorseful about why he didn't marry his daughter to Annan when he was in the haunted gold mine.
The fiery red stray arrow brought the letter from the Ausulond leader, and Annan opened it as usual, but the interrogation was seen in the letter.
The turmoil in Breez City has reached the Reeves family, and they should soon know about their fiefdom and attacks......
Annan hesitated, and old Zoren quietly slipped out. Unable to delay any longer, Annan had no choice but to write the beginning and end of the turmoil in Breeze City into the letter.
The fire crow flew out of the house with the letter, and Annan had never looked forward to the arrival of winter soon, just to make the fire crow fly slower.
The next morning, Annan woke up to find the outside world covered with a layer of frost - it had snowed last night.
Annan asked Ingrid to inform the people that they would rest today. But it was strongly opposed by everyone. They did not dare to refuse Annan, so they asked Ingrid to convey their willingness to continue working.
"But it's snowing outside." Annan frowned.
"The snow has stopped, and it will melt before the morning." Ingrid said.
Annan had no choice but to agree to them, and the people who learned that there was work to do were grateful to Dade—
The snow did melt in the morning, but it was much colder than yesterday.
Stockpiling fuel and food for the winter is on the agenda.
There was no shortage of fuel and forests everywhere, but Annan had been avoiding provoking the druids, and he had better ideas.
Annan asked Ingrid to count the supplies needed in Starmoon Bay, and then she and 10 knights returned to Breeze City instead of Annan, and brought the ogre with them by the way-
Because of one of Annan's ideas.
