Although this border village is called a small village, it seems that there are many more people than the farm where Lin Shu originally stayed, and the people who come and go up and down the ramps and stairs along the mountain are very busy, which may have something to do with the rainy season.

The village is built on the mountain, except for those functional buildings, most of the living places are close to the mountain buildings, each house seems to be only half of the section, some of them are simply not the outside half, the door is open on the stone wall, and the cave on the earth is extremely similar.

Lin Xiaomei and Lin Xiaoyong twisted their heads and looked around, their eyes shining, showing strong curiosity and energy, while Lin Shu chatted with Yang Jinwu seriously, and got a lot of information from the seemingly casual questioning.

The origin of the border village has been around for a long time, at least before the unification war of the Tang Kingdom, and later in the unification war, many people fled here for various reasons to settle down, and the scale of the village is getting bigger and bigger.

As a result, the village has a permanent population of nearly 20,000, both professionals and civilians, and 40,000 or 50,000 immigrants every year, but these people arrive only after the rainy season is over.

Due to the remoteness of the border village, there is a southern rainforest to the south and east, which basically has no military value, and the economic value is not high, unlike the Xia country that is a plain, and the mountains here are not suitable for planting high-value crops, as for hunting in the jungle, there are a lot of monsters in the jungle here, but more than a thousand kilometers to the north, there is a traditional holy place for trials and hunting, where the varieties of monsters are richer, unlike here, most of them are water monsters.

As for the distribution of power in the village now, there are three organizations that control it, one is the Datang Business Alliance, which is a commercial organization with a long history, and the other is the Datang Warriors Professional Guild, as for why the Magicians Guild does not come here to occupy territory, it is said that it is because the Magicians Guild looks down on this broken place; the last one is the earliest controller of this village, the local head snake Yang family, and Yang Jinwu is a distant descendant of the Yang family.

It is precisely because of this identity that Yang Jinwu has mixed up the advantages and disadvantages of a guard, but looking at Yang Jinwu's appearance, it doesn't look like he is mixed well, and obviously he has no status in the Yang family.

Stepping on the mossy staircase in the cracks of several steps, the eyes suddenly opened up, in this mountain village seems a little surprising, this is a small square, about 150 meters wide and 2300 meters long, in the middle of the square there are a few scattered stalls, it seems that this is an open-air market.

"This is the village square, and any important gatherings are held here, although it is a little small, but it is very lively, hehe. It's usually a free market, but when you leave, remember to go to the tax office there to pay your taxes. ”

Lin Shu turned his head to look and saw that at the door of the outermost room of the house on the left, sure enough, there was the words of the border village tax office, and it seemed that the copper-colored signboard had been around for many years.

Lin Shu nodded silently, and Yang Jinwu then pointed to the three-story stone house on the front and said: "This is the village office, buying a house, registering for registration, as well as going to school, marriage registration, dispute arbitration and other things are all carried out here." ”

Lin Shu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but thinking about it, there are 20,000 people living here, there is no reason why there are no schools and other things, as for marriage, arbitration, etc., there must also be a demand.

"And school! great, my brother and sister can go back to school!"

Lin Shu looked at Lin Xiaoyong and Lin Xiaomei with a smile, Lin Xiaomei's face was excited and expectant, but Lin Xiaoyong had a bitter face, it seemed that after the exciting experience in the jungle, Lin Xiaoyong was a little difficult to return to the dull.

"Hehe, isn't it, our school here is still good, but the middle school needs to go to another place!"

"I understand, my two younger siblings are taught by myself, and we are family heirlooms. ”

"Understood!" Yang Jinwu smiled knowingly.

"You see that the people over there are coming and going is the Martial Arts Guild, and if you want to conduct a magic receptor test, you can do it there with money. ”

"No, my brother and sister have tested it. ”

"Oh, what level? Oh, I'm sorry, that's not supposed to be asked. ”

Lin Shu shook his head with a smile: "It's okay, my brother is level three, and my sister is level five." ”

Yang Jinwu's eyes changed, but then he smiled and said some compliments, which made Lin Xiaoyong and Lin Xiaomei blush a little.

In fact, in the official test, only one to three levels of testing are generally provided, and only in the advanced test, that is, the further test will be carried out by people who are considered to have more potential, and this advanced test is divided into three more levels, and there are four to six levels of evaluation, that is, those above level four must have the potential of magicians.

And Lin Xiaomei is only six or seven years old, and she has already taken the advanced test, and she is still level five, so when she is twelve years old, isn't it likely that she will be the sixth level of the highest level?!

Yang Jinwu couldn't help but be glad that he hadn't offended these three people, and if he reported this information, he would definitely get a lot of rewards!

Thinking of this, Yang Jinwu's face was a little more flattering, and Lin Shu saw it in his eyes, the expression on his face did not change at all, and he still asked Yang Jinwu very affectionately about everything in the border village.

"You see, this street to the north is flanked by shops, and that's the main way into the village. ”

Needless to say, Lin Shu himself could see that there were two main roads into the village, one was the wide staircase on the left side of the village office, which gradually went up, and then branched out into countless branch roads, like a huge centipede, and the other road was the stone slab winding mountain road, and when you walked this road, you had to pass through the place where there were shops on both sides.

Lin Shu glanced at it casually, the most palatial thing seemed to be a hotel, followed by restaurants and taverns, and then there were magic shops and other supply shops and handicraft shops, it seemed that there were all kinds of shops on the street two or three hundred meters long!

"There are relatively large shops here, and there are some small shops in the village, where you can actually buy daily necessities and food. ”

Lin Shu raised his head, from this angle he could see that there was a fairly large platform in the middle of the mountain, Yang Jinwu also noticed Lin Shu's eyes, and said with a smile: "That's the school, it happens to be in the middle of the mountain, and the students above and below the mountain will not feel far away." ”

Lin Shu nodded, pointed to the large tightly connected house on the west side, which looked more consistent, and said, "Is that the territory of your Yang clan over there?"

"Well, that's an old village, and most of the people of the Yang clan live there, but there are also people with foreign surnames, so we, the distant branches, are not qualified to live there. ”

Yang Jinwu's tone was full of envy and jealousy, and Lin Shu smiled slightly: "Which one is the Ye Clan's magic shop you said, let's do business first, and when we settle down, it's not too late to slowly get to know the village, anyway, we want to settle here!"

"Hehe, too, this way!"

Yang Jinwu smiled and introduced the three Lin Shu brothers and sisters to a store that looked ordinary, but the area was not small, much larger than Lao Yetou's shop in Farm No. 6, and it looked much neat and clean.

The storefront is obviously divided into two parts, one is a row of open bright crystal counters and shelves, and the other side has only a rather old wooden long cabinet, not surprisingly, Yang Jinwu took Lin Shu in the direction of the wooden long cabinet, while the poor monkey head can only stay in a wooden fence on the side of the door, which is also to prevent the customer's monster from accidentally breaking the things in the store, the things here are very valuable.

"Shopkeeper Xiaoye, I brought a guest!"

"Yo, Xiao Wu! Xie Lu, thank you, what is the name of this guest, you are so young!"

Raising his head from behind the counter, looking at Lin Shu and the others greeting him with a smile on his face, it was a middle-aged man with a round face, but why he called Xiaoye Shopkeeper Lin Shu didn't quite understand, anyway, there must be a reason why people called it so.

"Hehe, my name is Lin Shu, animal trainer, this is my brother Lin Xiaoyong, sister Lin Xiaomei, let's sell something. ”

"Welcome, welcome, what are you selling?"

Lin Shu glanced at the shopkeeper Xiao Ye with a fourth-order magic halo shining on his body, as well as the magic equipment with a halo shining in his hand, and couldn't help but be full of curiosity.

"Demon Core!"

"Great, we've been worrying about buying the magic core lately! I'll definitely give Mr. Lin the best price. ”

The round-faced shopkeeper Xiao Ye smiled and took out a silver plate with a diameter of thirty or forty centimeters, and the plate was padded with an off-white flannel cloth.

Lin Shu naturally wouldn't be fooled by Xiao Ye's shopkeeper's polite words, he just smiled, didn't pick up the stubble, and reached out and took out two things from his arms that had been damaged in many places, the same thing as a book wrapped in a tarp, this Lin Xiaoyong knew that it was Lin Shu's sister's two books, and it was precisely because of this that Lin Xiaoyong would never doubt Lin Shu's identity.

The other is a small bag transformed with a tarpulin, Lin Shu untied the rope on the bag, and directly poured all the contents of the bag into the silver plate, with a slight crisp sound, and there were more than a dozen large and small magic cores in the plate, or azure or lake blue, which looked crystal clear and very gratifying.

Xiao Ye's shopkeeper's eyes shrank, a trace of hidden surprise flashed in his eyes, Yang Jinwu almost screamed, and quickly covered his mouth with one hand secretly.

This pile of magic cores is worth at least thousands of gold coins, but this is not important, the important thing is that the azure and egg-sized magic core inside that flows like a ball of living water must be a fourth-order or higher magic core, it seems that the magic core is really on the fifth order, if these magic cores are the harvest of Lin Shu, then the identities of these three people are interesting!
