Chapter 62: A New View of the Village
The next morning, Bing Xuan got up early, and after a little washing, Bing Xuan personally cooked a pot of fragrant porridge for his mother. After several years of living as a couple, Bing Xuan has also dabbled in cooking skills to some extent, and the food cooked tastes quite good.
After the mother and son had a warm breakfast, Bing Xuan went to the old patriarch's house under the urging of his mother.
Now, the old patriarch is at home all the year round, and the courtyard has been renovated, except for the three residences of him and Qiu Die, the rest of the place has been renovated and has become a council hall for clan discussions, and the big and small matters in the village are decided here.
Bing Xuan had seen the old patriarch and couldn't bear to wake up Qiu Die, who was still asleep. Although the old patriarch and the old princess were a little disappointed with the current situation of the two, they were very satisfied when they saw that the two children had a deep relationship and shared the same heart, and they did not make excessive accusations against the two.
Bing Xuan and the old patriarch came to the council hall, and at this moment, Tian Ke and other high-ranking officials and elders of the Ice Clan were already waiting here. Bing Xuan exchanged a few words with everyone, sat down in the first place, and discussed with everyone the current related matters of the Ice Clan.
Today, the population of the Ice Clan is nearly 2,000, and there are still people who have been lost for many years. It was decided to enlarge the size of the village in order to accommodate the large population, and it was proposed that the fortifications of the village be increased again.
This resolution was directly rejected by Bing Xuan. At this time, Bing Xuan was mature enough, and his thinking was also very clear. The situation in the world is settled, and even if the village is built, it will be discovered by the Holy Star Empire sooner or later. Although the Holy Star Empire has relaxed all kinds of treatment for the Ice Clan, it will never allow an independent force to develop freely on this continent. Therefore, sooner or later, the village will face the conquest of the army of the Holy Star Empire.
And the position of the village at this time, both the threat of the impact of demon beasts, and the need to be ready to meet the conquest of the human army at any time, can be described as a dilemma. Bing Xuan decided to find another place for the village to recuperate, and set the target in the Amethyst Mountain Range, after all, the demon beasts there would not be unfavorable to him, but would help him resist the killing of the Holy Star Empire. It's just that the Amethyst Mountain Range is deep in the hinterland of the continent, and the specific migration plan has yet to be decided after everyone's discussion.
Subsequently, Bing Xuan listened to Tian Ke's report on the armed strength of the village. Today, the village not only has a more professional hunting team, but also the training of the new forces is also on the right track, and a number of training teams have been formed to run in and improve. Bing Xuan was very pleased, and saw everyone's dedication to the Ice Clan, and his heart was full of gratitude.
A morning of government affairs discussions made Bing Xuan feel extremely tired. He really felt that management was more brain-intensive than cultivation. Before the meeting, Bingxuan asked everyone to formulate a specific action plan for their suggestions, which was left for the next meeting to discuss and decide.
Bing Xuan greeted Tian Ke, and decided to review the strength of the various training teams that had been summoned back to the village in the afternoon, and the dinner was set on the shore of the Shining Lake outside the village, so that Tian Ke would gather all the people from the original team and get together.
Lunch is still the same for the four of them last night, and now Bing Xuan prefers this kind of warm moment. Although he has not yet found his father, there is still hope for everything. The old patriarch already knew the situation in the ice city, and since there was no whereabouts of the emperor in the ice city, there was still a possibility. The old patriarch suggested that Bing Xuan could go to the elven territory in the southwest of the continent to find it, although he didn't know why, but he had also seen the appearance of elves in the palace several times in his life, and now it seems that this may have a slight connection with the whereabouts of the Ice Emperor.
On the periphery of the elven territory, there is a formation carefully arranged by the ancestors of the year, and only the elf clan and the ice emperors of previous dynasties have a way to discrep. And this method of entry and exit, the Ice Emperor has also passed it on by word of mouth, and when it comes to Bingxuan, it has been broken. Outsiders have tried to enter it for thousands of years, but each attempt has failed, and no one can penetrate into the outermost Jungle of Mystery, the jungle guarded by the elves.
Bing Xuan decided that after solving the hidden dangers of the village this time, he would go to the Lost Forest to explore. After all, my mother is now alone, and I can't be with her for a long time, and my father is still alive probably because of most of the spiritual power that supports my mother.
In the afternoon, Bing Xuan and Qiu Die came to the ancestral hall in the village. In the open space in front of the ancestral hall, dozens of people stood neatly, and the arrival of the two made the place instantly silent. Now, the old patriarch has resettled several households in front of the ancestral hall in other places, and expanded this place again as a place for children to cultivate. The strength of the Ice Clan is getting stronger and stronger, and more powerful demon beasts among the demon beasts have been captured as war pets, which has also caused the demon beasts to riot many times and storm the village. Fortunately, with the fortifications of the city wall, the casualties were greatly reduced, and the demon beasts were repelled again and again, but the children were the hope of the Ice Clan's future, and the old patriarch did not dare to let them practice in danger on the shore of the Wave Lake.
The strength of the training team is uneven, and Tianke has also made a more suitable combination for them based on his years of experience, which can also make their overall strength improve rapidly.
Bing Xuan came to a stone platform in front of the clearing and stood still, Tianke gave an order, and everyone in the audience chanted a spell in a low voice, each summoning a war pet. All of a sudden, many demon beasts appeared out of thin air, but most of them were only at the strength of the fifth or sixth order. With the communication of souls, the demon beasts were unusually calm after they appeared, without the slightest noise.
In order to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for the competition, Bing Xuan even took out dozens of weapons and armor of extraordinary quality and handed them to Tianke, taking these things as a reward for the winner. The training team was very interested, not only because they had the opportunity to get those rewards, but also because they could finally show the strength of their progress over the years in front of their Ice Emperor, and it was also a great honor to be appreciated by the Ice Emperor.
Tianke carefully organizes and distributes, from team competitions to individual competitions, the top three in each competition mode can get rewards. Then, the point-to-point process began.
After watching the competition for an afternoon, Bing Xuan was also very satisfied with the performance of these people. Everyone is tempered in blood and fire every day, and their fighting skills are already extraordinary, but they still have some flaws if they have not fought with real masters. A real master duel, a slight mistake is enough to turn the tide of the battle and bury his own life, a personal coach like a fire-stepping beast, how many mortals can have a chance to get it? Bing Xuan pointed out the shortcomings in their respective battles again, but they still focused on encouragement and praise, and even more generously distributed the prizes to the winners.
An afternoon passed quickly. As the sun set, the members of the original training team had already prepared the ingredients early, set up a bonfire on the shore of the sparkling lake, and began to roast delicious food, waiting for Bingxuan's arrival.
Bing Xuan and Tianke, who were busy with the review work, found the autumn butterfly, and the three of them came late, and they were quite far apart, so they asked about the tempting aroma of barbecue in the air.
"It's so fragrant, isn't the little fat man inventing any better condiment, as soon as you smell this fragrance, you will know that the taste must be no worse than that made by the chefs in the big city." Bing Xuan and Tian Ke jokingly walked towards the bonfire.
"Meet Your Majesty. When everyone saw Bing Xuan coming, they hurriedly turned around and saluted.
"Rise up, we are brothers, we are sisters, and there is no such courtesy. Bing Xuan said boldly.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether to get up or not, and only after seeing the gesture from Tianke did they stand up one by one.
"Don't be so angry, we are still the same ignorant children as we were at the beginning, remember when we first started the team? I hope our emotions will always stay at that stage. Bing Xuan said with a little anger.
"Yes, yes, yes, we are brothers, we are sisters, come, let's sit down together. The cheerful little fat man hurriedly eased the atmosphere and said.
