"Hello, system."

"Ding!"

After briefly checking his protection value, Vincent found that it had increased a lot compared to when he set off.

I don’t know whether the glasses in stock have been sold to other places, or whether the newly made lanterns produced by the Jushi Chamber of Commerce have been sold, but the number of protections is still increasing.

It seems that the more toys are made and used by more people, the faster the protection increases.

[Protection value: 10701/10729]

If there are too many protections, he will feel confused about the choice of skill routes. Vincent likes any one, but he does not dare to unlock and upgrade casually, worrying that he will not be able to get enough protection value when needed.

Of course, for now, there is absolutely nothing wrong with upgrading a skill related to specialty products.

"System, I want to upgrade the 'Wood Product Processing Skill' to level 5."

Since the wood product processing skill has been upgraded to lv3 last time, this upgrade will cost 800 points and 900 protection points.

In the past, this was a big number, but now Vincent is rich and can use nearly 2,000 points of protection at will.

[Protection value: 9001/10729]

Since the village was previously in a state of autonomy that betrayed the lord, a lot of wood that could have been sold to the city had nowhere to go and could only be left to eat ashes in the village, which was really a waste.

With great interest, Vincent raised his hand, cut the already dried log into thin slices, and polished the surface.

The original fresh taste and charming patterns make Vincent more and more intoxicated with this work.

Next to her, Niniya was used to this, but it was the first time she saw the lord using the divine protection of Prani, and her little face was full of surprise and admiration.

"It's such a good wooden board, but it still feels a bit wasteful to do this..."

After a moment, several square thin wooden boards appeared in the lord's hand. Prani immediately moved forward and stared at the new toys with wide eyes.

On each wooden board, it is cut into several small pieces of wood with different rules.

Although the small pieces of wood were divided, they did not leave the board. Instead, they were cleverly nested in the board, leaving only a thin gap around them. With a little force, the small pieces of wood could be removed from the board.

Next, Vincent used his drawing skills to draw two assembly drawings on the paper he brought.

From the little movements of Prani's joy to the trembling of her knees, Vincent knew that this child could not wait any longer.

"Come on, why don't you give it a try?" Vincent called to the worried Niniya, "Come and play with a pinboard toy and see what you can make in the end?"

"Okay, Master." Niniya, who was still worried about her hometown, forced a smile and came to Vincent, "What toy is this time?"

"Follow the order on the drawing, take off the wooden parts, find the sockets and connect them all, and finally form a whole." Vincent explained patiently, "Be careful of burrs, they may irritate your hands."

The corner of his eye glanced at the girl's palm, and Vincent realized that his worries might be a bit unnecessary, because her hands must have practiced swordsmanship and other skills, and there were thick calluses on them.

Prani excitedly hummed while working together, while Niniya was a little slow to get started, but as she pieced together the parts, her expression gradually became more focused.

The Lord's toy this time is indeed unique. Although the small parts may seem unrelated, after being combined according to certain rules, they can be assembled into different shapes, and in the end they can even build a three-dimensional structure.

"Wow! See what I did?" Prani took the lord's hand and pointed at her work with the other hand and shouted, "Uncle, is this the Devil's Castle?"

"Hey, does it look like that?" Vincent scratched his hair and decided to correct it, "The one I was referring to is obviously the church's sanctuary."

It's so innocent and childish...

Looking at the large number of Prani holding up his works, Vincent quietly called up the system and checked the little witch.

【Pranee Shavya】

[Believer attribute: Believer]

It's incredible, it's incredible, this child's fun-loving index is actually the highest I have ever seen.

I'm afraid this is the kind of genius who is easily distracted by fun...

Compared to Prani, who has a higher fun-loving index, Niniya is much more restrained in this regard, so the assembly speed is also much slower.

However, she worked hard to the end and was still attracted by what she made.

It turned out that what the lord asked him to assemble was actually a humanoid figure of an armored warrior.

"Ah, it's not fair, uncle, it's not fair!" Prani pouted immediately after seeing it, "I also want to put together armor... This feeling of joining armor together is so cool!"

Vincent was a little surprised to see such a cute boy teasing him, with a resentful and aggrieved expression on his face.

It turns out that you, a guy with bright eyes and white teeth, are good at this.

Just when Vincent was being harassed by his subordinates and had to spend another ten points of protection to rub the same style on his hands, he heard Niniya's timid voice from behind.

"Master, thank you. You want to comfort me, right?"

"Comfort, right?" Vincent showed a devilish smile when he saw her pitiful look, "When you are in a good mood, you must learn from Sadaka and don't be merciful when you return to your hometown."

Even so, Ninnia actually knew that the lord was not such a cold person.

Maybe he is lonely and a little unwilling to reveal his true feelings in front of himself...

After finding good raw materials, Vincent was very happy that night. After driving away Prani and Niniya, he happily stayed with the wood all night and played many tricks.

Experiments have proven that the quality of the wood here is good, better than that produced near Yinlong Fort, and the price is much cheaper.

Since this condition existed, Vincent allowed Dolan Village to use logs instead of grain to pay taxes, which also gave the villagers a way out.

According to villagers, dwarves used to mine in the mountains, but the war more than thirty years ago drove away the dwarves and the mines were abandoned.

This was the saddest news to Vincent, but he couldn't complain, because it was the demons themselves who drove away the dwarves - because they acted as arms dealers and provided weapons to other races.

Maybe we can invite them back in the future. I heard that the dwarves are all skilled craftsmen and should be able to provide the lord with more materials and production capacity.

Early the next morning, Vincent executed the cultists who could not ask for any information, and said goodbye to all the villagers who had trampled on the statue of the evil god and sworn allegiance.

Because the lord reduced taxes and saved the village, the villagers were very grateful. Many people expressed their willingness to go to other villages to find relatives and friends and tell them the truth.

This is undoubtedly a good thing.

"Move to live at the foot of the mountain as soon as possible," Vincent promised the awed villagers. "My trade route will soon pass through the foot of the mountain. There will be a new road leading to wealth and happiness, which will be enough for you to live a better life."

"What should we do about the mountain?" the village chief asked in embarrassment. "It's difficult to farm on the mountain, but we want to build roads but can't move it."
