It is indeed Lotia's mother-in-law's speaking style, confident and domineering, Lu Xi couldn't help but think.

She also learned about elemental mages and elemental warriors, except for the distinction between "civil and military", the power of the elements is actually the same.

Gain the approval of the elements, sign the elemental contract, and become an elemental mage/warrior.

The most important of these is the "Signing the Elemental Contract", which was hundreds of years ago, when the status of the four elemental kingdoms was stable and there were not so many chaotic events.

Every Elemental Mage or Elemental Warrior can only sign an Elemental Pact with the Kingdom - for that, they need to be loyal to the Kingdom and serve the Kingdom for at least a few decades.

At the same time, each of the four elemental kingdoms occupies an elemental contract, so that only specific elemental attributes exist in each country, which is also the beginning of the title of the four elemental kingdoms.

Lu Xi thought, this is a monopoly.

Later, when rebellions occurred frequently, the elemental contracts that were originally guarded by the royal families were frequently stolen and stolen, although they were eventually recovered, but all kinds of "pirated contract elements" were rampant.

Although it is piracy, the effect is the same.

Although there are only four copies of the original master of the "Contract Element", it is certainly impossible for everyone who signs the Element Contract to go to the palace and sign it with the original master.

Therefore, according to different needs, there are three kinds of "high-level elemental contracts", "middle-level elemental contracts", and "low-level elemental contracts", which are divided into various human towns.

As the name suggests, the level you will eventually be promoted to if you sign an elemental contract.

Towns like Crowk almost always have the lowest "low-level elemental contracts", and larger cities will have "middle-level elemental contracts".

The "Advanced Elemental Contract" is nominally in the hands of the royal family of the kingdom, but in fact, because of those chaos, there are many pirated elemental contracts, and many nobles will have a copy in their homes.

But what are the elemental attributes, it's hard to say.

For example, Xiuge, who is obviously in the Earth Elemental Kingdom of Trumini, is a wind-attribute elemental warrior, which shows that the Poberstein family also has at least one wind-attribute pirated "Intermediate Elemental Contract".

Lu Xi thought about it and felt that Granny Lotia's statement was still very reasonable, many people could only come into contact with one attribute element contract, so how could there be a distinction between elemental attributes.

There's no choice.

However, these things had little to do with Lu Xi, so she didn't think about it deeply, and explored for several days with Xiuge and orc personality, and only decided to go back after finding the treasure treasury of the Ruins Palace.

The storehouse containing all kinds of treasures must be the strongest, and the treasures are more tightly sealed, even after the invasion of the flood, the preservation is the most complete.

After removing half of the items that could no longer be seen clearly, Lu Xi found dozens of well-sealed metal boxes, and after trying to open them, he found hundreds of otherworldly style items inside.

It's all something that makes people shine.

Its value is not much worse than that of the Moonshine Orb.

After finding these things, the attraction of the ruins to Lu Xi suddenly decreased a lot, and some of the text books that could be found were completely incomprehensible, so they could only be told to Mi Qi to study slowly.

In addition, it is not very comfortable to stay in the dreary underground for days.

And he didn't go back to the Spirit Farm for several days, and it happened that Xiuge and the orc had persuaded him a few words, and Lu Xi also went back.

This time, I found that Anne came over with a big face, and her expression was very embarrassed.

In the Spirit Farm, although Rowem is a manager, Lu Xi has already said in advance that Rowem is not responsible for things outside the Spirit Farm, and no one dares to question Miss Lucy, so if there is anything, he will not go to Rowem.

Lu Xi's "adventure" disappeared before, and the maid Yawei went to find Rowim, which was not in this category.

For a long time, it was Betem who was other than the aborigines of the Spirit Farm, and after Betem left, it was Xiuge who could take care of things.

Fortunately, Betem took most of the people away, and there were dozens of people left, all with their own arrangements, and there was no need for Xiuge to interfere.

As a result, something really happened, and Xiuge needed to come forward, but Xiuge ran with Miss Lucy to "adventure" somewhere, and the authority of the steward could only be issued again, and it was arranged to Granny Rhodia.

However, Granny Rhodia had received the white bread given by Miss Lucy during this time, and was in a time when she was rarely conscious, and did not want to pay attention to all the miscellaneous things.

But apart from Granny Rhodia, there are not many people left in the Spirit Farm, and after thinking about it, Granny Rhodia threw the trouble to her students, after all, it represents her identity and can have a certain right to speak.

Needless to say, the mute girl Karan is bent on being responsible for the life of Lady Rhodia's mother-in-law, plus she has an inconvenient tongue and can't do things that she can't manage.

Orc Gerry does not mention the identity of an orc, and he is also a student of Granny Rhodia, and he is also a candidate, but it is a pity that he and Xiuge went to "protect" Miss Lucy.

Finally, when Anne looked up, she found that she had temporarily become the manager of the Soul Farm, and the feeling of catching ducks on the shelves made her a little embarrassed to face Miss Lucy.

Her original status was so low, how could she suddenly take on such a heavy responsibility.

However, Granny Rhodia did not give Anne the right to refuse, so Anne had to hold on, and when she saw Miss Lucy return, she felt a sense of "dove occupying the magpie's nest".

It felt like a college student looking for an internship and only to be parachuted into the company's director, feeling uneasy and seeing the company's boss.

Lu Xi didn't laugh at Anne's trembling appearance, so he listened to Anne's report that the patrol team of Lingyan Farm came back the day before yesterday and brought back the villagers from several villages.

"Brought back the villagers?" Lu Xi was surprised.

Carefully calculated, it has been more than half a month since the ice dragon left, and it stands to reason that the patrol team will not need to walk around the Spirit Farm for ten days, and it is not the size of Crowk Town.

I came back so many days late, and there was really another reason.

Anne nodded stiffly, and then briefly explained what had happened.

It all starts with the ice dragon.

The Ice Dragon spewed out the power of the Ice Elemental Element in the Spirit Farm for a day, causing hundreds of kilometers of land around it to be frozen in ice, and this range inevitably affected some of the surrounding villages.

The only good news is that because the Spirit Farm is the main attack place of the ice dragon, except that the ice around the Spirit Farm is about three meters thick, and the most edge is only a few tens of centimeters high.

In addition, it takes time for power to be transmitted, so basically they all dodged, and no one was directly frozen and lost their lives.

But although the people are fine, the house is unlivable.

For example, in Xinwa Village, because the building is stable and sealed, there is basically no impact on the inside, and only the outside of the house is frozen.

However, where does the outside building have this sturdy effect, especially in those small villages, most of which are stone houses and mud houses.

The gap in the former was too big, and usually even the wind could not be avoided, and the breath of the power of the ice element directly drilled into it, and the room was sealed with ice.

The latter is too fragile and frozen to crack and be uninhabitable.

The patrol patrolled the area and soon found several villagers who had lost their homes.

For example, food, clothing, etc., when they are in danger, they carry them with them, but there is no shelter from the wind and cold, and with the arrival of winter, they have no hope of living.

Walk out...... How to go out, it is not easy to travel in the cold and snow, let alone where to go, there are one or two walls to protect from the cold wind if you stay in the village.

Several families got together to keep warm, and they could barely hold on for a while.

The leader of the patrol was Northon, and when he saw these villages and these people on the road, he was moved by compassion and decided to take them all back to the Shrine Farm, and search for other villages by the way.

It took a lot of time to come and go.

Of course, Northon was aware of Miss Lucy's kindness, and knew that if it was Miss Lucy, she would never ignore these people to make such a decision.

If it was under other nobles, even if Northson had such a kind heart, I am afraid he would not be able to do such a kind act.

Lu Xi really didn't say anything about Nuosen's behavior, and his face, which was originally happy because he had obtained a large amount of treasure, also showed a guilty expression.

She didn't think of these things at all, although she knew that there were many villages around the Spirit Farm, but she didn't think about whether the Ice Dragon's incident would affect them at all, and she only noticed the Spirit Farm and the Xinwa Village next to it.

"Where are they now?" Lu Xi asked.

Since it was the day before yesterday, Anne must have made a preliminary placement.

Anne said carefully, "One of the villages, called Darcy Village, had some contact with Xinwa Village, and Xinwa Village voluntarily took them in. ”

Darcy Village, Lu Xi had some impressions, Cross said that on the way to the Spirit Farm, it was Darcy Village that gave them some food so that they could persevere.

There are about more than 100 people, not too many people, and there are four houses in Xinwa Village, one of which was previously for Marco and them to live in, but now it is empty, but it is convenient for Zhengdaxi Village to live in.

Although it was originally designed to live more than 20 people, it was designed according to the living distance of about one meter wide for each person, and it was not a problem to squeeze more than 60 people, and the width of the ground was designed to be more than two meters, and many people could live on the floor.

But in fact, there is no need to be so crowded, and the people in Xinwa Village who live in the other three houses, including the children, add up to only 50 people, and each has some vacated places, and many people can also be accommodated, so there is no need to live in one house.

Lu Xi nodded, Anne breathed a sigh of relief, and continued.

"There are still three villages left, and I let them live in the square for the time being." As she spoke, Anne was a little embarrassed.

This is also what she placed in the square before seeing Miss Lucy, and Anne took the medicine according to the prescription and followed it.

Lu Xi was not satisfied with anything, even she had no better choice.

Anne then whispered, "Most of the villagers didn't have a place to live, so I took out all the tents and gave them to live." ”

There are more or less people in these three villages, the least is only 60 people, not much more than Xinwa Village, and Xinwa Village is the number of survivors, not the number of people in the entire village.

The largest number of people was one hundred and ten, and the other had about eighty people, adding up to more than two hundred and seventy, and counting Daxi Village, there were more than four hundred people in Lingyu Farm at once.

The good thing is that these people basically carry enough food to survive the winter, and they don't need much relief from Luxi.

But in fact, there are not many tents, and the tents that Xinwa Village lived in before, plus those left by the Marco patrol, are less than fifty, nearly 300 people, and can only barely stay.

Lu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, just settle down preliminarily, seeing this, he couldn't help but look at Anne with admiration, don't look at the things that are not much, but there are really not many people who can do the right thing.

"Very well done." Lu Xi patted Anne's shoulder and praised sincerely.

Anne was stunned for a moment, her eyes suddenly moistened, but the tears did not fall in the end, but she said in a muffled voice, "It's good that you didn't disappoint Miss Lucy." ”

Anyway, Anne is a young girl after all.

went to the square and took a look at the state of these villagers, although it was not very good, but it was not too bad, Lu Xi put aside other things first, and prepared to settle these people.

It is definitely not possible to live in the square all the time, not to mention that Norson has already led people to patrol the surrounding area again to see if there are any other affected villages, and if some people are brought back, they must think of other resettlement methods in advance.

At present, the four villages, plus Xinwa Village, already have a small population of 500.

Lu Xi's brain hurts, she still has a headache before, and there is no one working under her hands, but she didn't expect so many people to suddenly appear, but unfortunately they are all illiterate, like Cross, who knows hundreds of words, and the total is less than a hand.

…… Well? Talented, illiterate......

Lu Xi blinked, and she suddenly remembered her previous arrangements for Xinwa Village—because there were too many things and too many accidents, most of the arrangements were put on hold.

She had thought that it would be good for them to learn to read and write in the house because it was just winter, and it was not too late to arrange it.

As for the people from other villages, Lu Xi thought about it and decided to freeze the rest of Xinwa Village and build houses again.

Fortunately, when Xinwa Village was selected, it was a place selected for hundreds or thousands of people, which was completely enough to build a house that could accommodate so many people.

It's just that the materials are a little troublesome to obtain, after all, they are also frozen, and the price to pay for thawing is not low.

That is, Lu Xi's pocket is bulging now, so he doesn't mind spending so much.

Thinking of it, Lu Xi called Cross and asked him to write out the words he knew silently, and helped to discharge a recognition chart for Cross to teach everyone in Xinwa Village to read.

However, literacy is not all work, it is enough to learn two hours a day, and when he recognizes all these words, Lu Xi will decide to start the next step.

The rest of the time, they follow the construction of the house, after all, these people in Xinwa Village have experience, and it is easier to let them help with less than others to learn from scratch.

If you don't get stuck, the code word is very comfortable hahahaha
