Lord Highlander

Chapter 554

Dinner is simple, consisting of scones, broth and a bowl of stewed vegetables.

For the villagers of Wall Village, broth is not an everyday delicacy.

Rita directly said that Suldak was lucky to come back just in time, and actually drank the broth that only came once a week.

With the improvement of the living standard in Woer Village, small wine sellers have piled oak barrels in the small market at the entrance of the village. Order some free small dried salted fish and dried salted radish. The only characteristic of these snacks is that they are very salty. Probably only those who drink alcohol will twist one and stuff it into their mouths to wake up their taste buds.

Today's villagers have a little spare money in their pockets, and occasionally go to the entrance of the village to drink two cups in twos and threes. A cup of rough ale with wheat residues only needs two copper coins. A year ago, the villagers of Wall Village It is also an unbearable amount of money for them, but now that the townhouses in the entire Wall Village have been built, the pockets of the villagers have become bulging.

Occasionally, the old people in the village can be heard sighing: "That boy Dake is really kind. He built houses for the villagers and gave everyone wages. He was building his own house. What kind of wages do you want..."

The old man on the side couldn't even open his eyes, so he could only say in a low voice, "You have to call him Baron Suldak, he is now the Baron!"

The old man who spoke first said: "I heard that the nobles are all big landowners. Where do you think Duck's land is? Why don't you enclose the land in Wall Village?"

"I heard from my family that Dake's territory is in Pustule Mountain, which is a whole mountain. Even if you ride a horse for a day, you can't finish all the boundary markers."

The old man who spoke first said doubtfully, "What's the use of such a mountain without pustules?"

The old man whose eyes were hard to open said again: "Did you know that volcanic ash can build a house? Look at the volcanic ash all over the mountains and plains. Every grain of ash comes out of the pustule mountain. These all belong to Dafa. It’s like the oak trees in the mountains belong to other nobles. Whoever wants to use the volcanic ash in the future will have to pay taxes to Dak. Dak is worried that we can’t live in such a comfortable house, so he pays for us all from his own pocket. These small townhouses were built."

"I heard that Dak will form an engineering team in the future and take everyone to build these volcanic ash houses..."

"There is no need to be afraid of the heavy snow this winter!"

...

Suldak sat on a large rock leveled out of the fourth-level reservoir. From here, he could just see the night view of the entire Wall village.

Four hundred kobolds are currently leveling the bottom of this land, and then the anti-seepage cement layer at the bottom of the pool will be laid, and the foundation pit for the dam of the fourth-level reservoir will be dug.

After the main dam of the third-level reservoir is completed, the foundation of the fourth-level reservoir will be poured immediately. According to the current construction speed, it is very likely that the fifth-level reservoir will also be built before the snow falls. stand up.

The old village head, Brett, limped over with a pipe in his hand. Since the last time the rebel army attacked the village and was injured, the old village head's legs had suffered a little bit of disease, and he was a little awkward when walking.

"Come back so soon?"

He walked over to Suldak and sat down.

"Uh, everything went well." Surdak replied.

The old village chief held the pipe in his hand and took a deep puff.

The wrinkles on his forehead were deep, and his face was as if carved by a knife and an axe, and it became dark after being exposed to the wind and sun.

He grinned, and said to Suldak: "I've been thinking...whether the Wall Village in front of me appeared in a dream, those sturdy houses look so beautiful, clean ground, bright windows, and There is an attic where you can bask in the sun. I just remembered that I saw it in the murals of the temple recently. I thought that I could only live in such a residence when I went to the Kingdom of God in the future. I didn’t expect my dream to come true so soon. Dark, you said we With a more abundant water source, there is more land that can be cultivated, and now there is a shelter that can shelter from the wind and rain, and if there is something to pursue in the future, people... have to pursue something."

Suldak wiped his face vigorously with his hands, and said following the topic of the old village chief: "After a rich life! We need a more stable living environment. For example, we need to transform this place so that this mountain and wild green trees become Yin, it needs to be safer here, there will not be so many robbers and rebels intruding, and the village will not be attacked by monsters in the dense forest of Pagros Mountain. I hope to be recognized and respected by the people around me, am I right? Did you go too far?"

"That's why you have done so much for us?" At this moment, the old village chief's eyes became bright and energetic.

"Actually, this is a blueprint in a person's heart. I remember that he kept telling me about his longing at that time. Yes, he wanted to have a mountain spring that would never dry up, and he would not talk to others during the dry season in spring. Fighting for water, and not being unable to allocate new land because of new life born in each family, not forming a flood at the entrance of the village in summer, not being homeless in storms and snowstorms, everyone I have to live a rich life with enough food and warm clothes, but unfortunately he can’t see these things in front of him, and I just want to fulfill his wish.” When Suldak said this, his voice became very soft, and his emotions also changed. A little depressed.

Those dreams in the past are almost realized now, but those who fell on the battlefield will never come back.

"Is there anyone else who has the same idea as you?" Village Chief Brett asked in surprise.

Suldak grinned and nodded vigorously.

"All of what I did was what he hoped for, but the process was a little smooth. On the way back to Hailansa, I had a little extra income. After returning, I found a sulfur mine on the pustule mountain. "Suldak said.

"Oh, that's right! How's the work on Charlie's side going?" Suldak asked.

A month ago, Charlie took more than 50 craftsmen to Karl Casement's manor to build a big villa for him. It will be almost a month since he left. Suldak wants to know where the progress of the project is. .

"The initial progress was much slower than expected, but now everything is going smoothly. The main body of the first floor has been poured. We only need to wait for the floor to be laid after it is solid, and then continue to erect the second floor." The old village chief Brett Said.

Suldak nodded and said: "After the townhouse is completed, other craftsmen will be dispatched there, and some trucks carrying volcanic ash will be added. It must be completed before winter! This is the first order we have received. , we can definitely make it a little more beautiful.”

The old village head nodded.

Not far from the gate of the third-level reservoir, a waterfall fell into the ditch below, making a rumbling sound.

Looking up, the entire reservoir looks like a huge castle, blocking the entire valley horizontally and looking magnificent.

Adding more to my uncle's love is also making up for what I owed before
