On the tenth day of the trip, the captain of the convoy's escort, Tevas, came to report on the situation.

Scouting ahead, the scout team spotted a large human village in the convoy's path.

As evening approached, the convoy needed to choose a location to stay overnight, and this large human village was a good choice, but Tvas didn't dare to make his own decision, so he asked Luxi for advice.

"Large human villages?" Lu Xi was a little curious, did there still be such a difference, she thought that no matter how big or small the village was, it was the same.

Tevas is a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and his talent is not bad, allowing him to touch the level of an intermediate elemental warrior early, and his delicate mind, which is different from ordinary elemental warriors, allows him to further take on the role of team leader.

Hearing Miss Lucy's question, Tevas, who had also been a member of the patrol, nodded and replied, "Yes, Miss Lucy." ”

Then he briefly talked about some of the differences between human villages.

The closer a village is to a human town, the smaller the number of people, one or two hundred, because at the slightest opportunity, they will try to get themselves into the human town to live.

A large part of the beggars who are always indispensable in human towns are these people who come from outside the towns, or for various reasons, they have been given a chance to enter the human towns and live in them.

But they don't have the ability to keep this life going, and they don't want to leave the human town and return to the wilderness, facing those terrible monsters, and finally they can only become beggars.

And the farther away from human towns, almost the farther away, the larger the spontaneous human villages will be.

Because humans are social creatures, more of the same kind can increase their chances of survival, and they have more resistance to danger.

For example, the Kuwa Village that Lu Xi first met was actually almost like this, but more often than not, it was actually the village chief Lu Li himself, who used his identity and ability to bring a completely different life and possibilities to the people in the village.

However, this is not absolute, in some places where there are more powerful monsters, human villages will further reduce the number of members, reaching only a few dozen people.

Because they don't have the strength to deal with powerful monsters, and too many humans will attract powerful monsters and treat them as food, only by reducing the number of humans living together can they escape the attack of powerful monsters.

And the villages that are too scattered also ensure the continuation of human beings, just like eggs cannot be put in the same basket.

The location of Tanerxi Territory is relatively remote, and it is mostly a plain, there is no too complex ecological environment, and the types of monsters are not so rich, so there is no need to control the number too extremely.

Some distance away from the three major human towns, there are many large human villages with more than 1,000 people.

Lu Xi nodded clearly, "Look at the situation around that village, if there is no problem, I will rest in the village tonight." ”

Spending ten days in a row in the wilderness and resting in a human village would be a lot easier for many people.

Although the travel time is still short, there will not be psychological problems now, but Lu Xi does not plan to wait until there is a problem to solve it, if you can keep everyone in a good state of mind throughout the journey, wouldn't it be better.

As the convoy moved, Lu Xi soon saw the large human village in the mouth of Tevas.

Some of them are disappointing, they are not at all the size of the original Kuwa village, and there is no neat house plan, and many of the houses are even the kind of triangular houses that seem to collapse at any time.

It is made of several huge logs put together to form a cone, on which small pieces of wood are put on top and layers of soil and leaves are laid to form such a house.

Temporary residency is okay, but if you ...... for a long time Lu Xi could already imagine how dark and damp the interior space would be without windows and unable to be illuminated by the sun.

Moreover, the trees have not undergone much treatment, so they are extremely prone to insects, and it is estimated that it has become the norm to be crawled on by insects in the middle of the night.

The hardest part is the rainy day, when the muddy houses turn into puddles of mud and water dripping down after the rain...... It's probably sunny outside, and it's still "raining lightly" inside the house.

Kuwa Village really gave Lu Xi a false impression that not all people who could become trainee knights would choose to return to their dilapidated village to help their fellow villagers.

Lu Xi thought that Village Chief Lu Li was worthy of being a person who could become a trainee knight.

After reading enough books about this other world, Lu Xi finally completed most of it, because there are many things that are not mentioned on the surface.

Some are like common sense, and everyone knows by default, so they usually don't mention it, while others are because of "taboos", so people don't dare to take the initiative to mention them.

As I said before, the status of the Holy See in this world is not ordinary, and the status of priests born in the Holy See is the status of "relatives and priests who identify each other as wanting to harm you, and most of them will choose to believe in the Holy See priests".

Because the "element of light" they believe in is not among the four elements, it is another power that the founder of the Holy See, Lofes, prayed to the "gods" for another power after witnessing the other four competing for the contract of the four elements.

The premise of the use of this power is "purity of heart", and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is good, once the heart is not clean and pure, the light element will no longer respond to this person.

It is also because of this that after the accident of the four elemental kingdoms, they agreed to let the Holy See intervene, and replaced them with an uneasy and well-intentioned one, and the four elemental kingdoms were destroyed and unified eight hundred years earlier.

Knights are similar to the Holy See in that they are not just an identity in themselves, but also represent a kind of power, and those who can become knights can get additional strength bonuses.

On the other hand, a knight has to be "allegiance" to someone or something, and it is no problem to say that it is faith in exchange for power.

Therefore, most of the people who can become knights have an extremely resolute heart, and they cannot be a great traitor.

The talent of the village chief Lu Li is not good, but he can become a trainee knight, which is enough to witness his heart.

According to Tevas, the village is called Broken Tail, after a powerful monster attacked the village a long time ago and had its tail broken.

However, the people in the village did not know how to read, and this rumor was also passed down by word of mouth, and I don't know if it is true or not.

Most of the villagers' dwellings are scattered, a bit like where they can live where they are suitable for building houses, the village is narrow for several miles, and the distance between the houses is also loose.

The convoy followed the road that the villagers walked out spontaneously, all the way to the innermost part of the village, and Lu Xi saw some relatively complete and tall buildings.

Not to mention how luxurious it is, but it is always sheltered from the wind and rain, and there is no problem with heating in the cold winter.

It should be the village chief, the village elder, and a group of other people who have gathered outside the largest house in advance, waiting for Miss Lucy's carriage to arrive.

It can be seen that these people's legs are trembling, and they don't know where to put their hands, and they want to kneel down and kowtow directly.

But Tevas had already sent someone to tell these civilians that they didn't have to kneel, just stand and reply, so they could stand here properly.

It may also be precisely because they did not kneel that they seemed so panicked, for fear that because they did not kneel down disrespectful and awe-inspiring, this noble man would feel offended.

The head of Broken Tail Village was a man in his mid-thirties who was extremely tall and mighty, in sharp contrast to the seemingly thin villagers on the edge of the village.

But this is by no means oppression, because only if you are strong enough can you get this status, and only if you have strong strength and can lead the villagers to resist the attack of monsters, can you be recognized by everyone as the village head.

Because the village chief himself is a leader who wants to lead the villagers to live together.

If you see those thin figures on the edge of the village, you think that the village chief has treated them badly, but it is actually a completely wrong idea.

If the village chief is a bad person, then these people will not even have the right to live in the village, and they will be driven out and sent to death, because they live in the village, and in some festivals, they still have to occupy some share of the food, and they themselves have no ability to provide food, and they eat pure food.

From this point of view, the village chief in front of him, who looked at the five big and three coarse, and looked vicious and not a good person, actually did a good job, at least he gave those villagers a chance to live.

"Nobleman, we have a total of thirty houses that can live in Broken Tail Village." The head of Broken Tail Village swallowed his saliva and stood in front of the carriage to reply.

It may be that he can't see the person inside, and he doesn't seem so uneasy when he talks to a row of planks.

In a village of thousands of people, there are at least four or five hundred families, and there are only 30 houses that can be put on the table, and there are only 30 houses that can be "lived".

Lu Xi knew that there must be some people who could live in it, but the conditions were not good, and the village chief was afraid that he would collide with these adults and make people misunderstand, so he only mentioned these houses that he thought were the best.

"No need." Lu Xi's cold voice came out.

The head of Broken Tail Village didn't have time to think about how good the nobleman's voice sounded, and subconsciously knelt on the ground as soon as his knees weakened, "The nobleman spares his life!" ”

Without Lu Xi's command, a guard next to him had already reached out to help the village chief up, and whispered in his ear, "Miss Lucy doesn't like to kneel around, shut up and be quiet." ”

There was no mention of how good a noble lady Miss Lucy was, and it was unlikely that these people would understand, and the guards chose a simpler threat.

The head of Broken Tail Village instantly shut up and didn't dare to speak.

Lu Xi was thinking, she was in a hurry, but along the way, there was no need to rush just for the sake of hurrying.

She wanted to see the scenery on the road, see different scenery, and do something to leave her mark in this world.

"Tvas." A cold voice rang out.

Tevas stepped forward in the crowd and saluted respectfully, "Miss Lucy." ”

"Pick a vacant lot, divide half of the manpower, and build a few houses that can live in it." Lu Xi commanded.

Tevas was stunned for a moment, but didn't ask why, and immediately responded, "Yes." ”

Originally, the management of the team should have been done by Xiuge, but his talent was all focused on the elemental warriors, and the steward really didn't have much patience, so he let Tevas, who was specially arranged by Betem, take over the overall affairs of the team.

Originally, Betham was also arranged like this, could he still not know the character of Young Master Xiuge.

And Tevas was the one who had been arranged by Betm himself, and almost after agreeing, he almost figured out what Miss Lucy was going to do.

As early as last evening, Tevas had reported to Miss Lucy that many of the people who were following the convoy had fallen behind.

Part of the reason is that they are not strong, and part of the reason is that they are unlucky and have been attacked by monsters.

The convoy in front of Lu Xi was full of powerful aura, and the monsters did not dare to approach, while the team behind was not only scattered, but there were also many ordinary people's aura, which was the most suitable to start.

Although Lu Xi found out that something was wrong and sent guards to help them expel the monsters in time, many people were still injured and couldn't keep up with the convoy.

But Lu Xi is not charitable, she has no obligation to take those people with her, and if she falls behind, she can only blame them for their own lack of strength, Lu Xi can't let the entire convoy, the two hundred people stop in place, and wait for them to catch up.

But after arriving at Broken Tail Village, Lu Xi changed his mind, if those people behind him were self-inflicted, and they had no strength and insisted on finding a way out, but what did these ordinary villagers do wrong.

The purpose of building a house that can live in people is to give the guards who have been traveling for ten days a place to relax, and secondly, to improve the situation of the villagers of Broken Tail Village after they leave.

At least this winter, fewer people will freeze to death.

Finally, it gives those who are left behind a chance to catch up.

Tvas's mind turned, and the expression on his face was not revealed, and he called out a few low-level elemental warriors who had participated in the construction of houses in the Spiritual Farm.

When it comes to building a house, you have to be a person from the Spiritual Farm.
