Chapter 36: The Hunting Squad is in Action (2)
Yuhuo Village is a medium-sized village closest to Coldong Lake. There are probably more than two hundred farmers living in the village.
In fact, this place was not called Fishing Fire Village before, but Bonfire Village.
But since fishing was allowed in Cold Winter Lake, the villagers of Bonfire Village gradually made a living by fishing. Under the decision of a group of old people, Bonfire Village was renamed Yuhuo Village.
When the hunting team came to Yuhuo Village, the first thing they saw was a knight statue carved from clay.
Due to the limited skills of the villagers, the appearance of the statue is very blurry, but players can still recognize at a glance that this mighty knight holding a giant sword is the Winter King.
It's simple, because the dragon crystal armor is so easy to recognize that it has almost become one of the symbols of the Winter King.
The sky is light blue, and the mountains in the distance are like dark blue.
There are rows of red tile-roofed houses, smoke is curling up from cooking stoves, the midday sun heats the air, and when the breeze blows, the smell of rural fireworks fills your mouth and nose.
On the clean and tidy rural dirt roads, farmers carrying vegetable baskets and fish baskets come and go from time to time. They are energetic, their eyes are bright, and the smiles raised at the corners of their mouths outline hope.
Players discovered that without even realizing it, the world in the game had undergone tremendous changes.
"Brother Leisure, do you still remember the pictures uploaded by the first test players when they first arrived in Morning Light Town?"
"Remember, why don't you remember?"
For a moment, I looked around leisurely, admiring the prosperous rural scenery of another world, and said with some sadness:
"The countryside at that time was not like this. There was feces everywhere on the village roads and it was extremely filthy. The farmers looked numb and had sallow complexions and thin bodies."
"It's unimaginable that we have witnessed a quiet change in an era in a game, in less than half a year."
"Perhaps this change is still very slight, but I have to say that Emperor Winter is indeed a very thoughtful person with very advanced ideas."
"Throughout the ages, how many people with great power have been able to value the lives of ordinary people?"
Having said this, Ji Youxian smiled coldly and said mockingly: "I recently read a novel, which is a world of high martial arts. The lord executed the knights who were not loyal enough and took back the pensions for the dead soldiers."
"Some people actually say that seeking fairness in such a world is a stupid act and there is something wrong with their brains."
"Really smart people know that this is not fair at all. The lord killing the knight is a warning to other subordinates to obey orders and consolidate their rule."
"Emphasizing the importance of pensions is an attempt to win the hearts and minds of the people. There can be no fairness in a world of high martial arts."
"But where did those knights come from? Are all the heroes in history aristocratic?"
"Who is really stupid?"
For a moment, he shook his head leisurely and said no more. The other team members were also thoughtful, and gradually began to understand some of the seemingly radical methods of the Winter King.
At this time, an old farmer noticed the players. His eyes lit up and he came to the players and asked with reverence:
"You foreigners, do you have any important business in coming to Yuhuo Village? I am Link, the village elder of Yuhuo Village. If you need any help, just ask!"
"Since we are His Majesty the Winter King's warriors, the entire Yuhuo Village will fully cooperate."
Old Link will never forget the kindness of His Majesty the Winter King, even though the Winter King was only the Eagle Lord at that time and trampled his fields with his soldiers.
But it all happens for a reason.
At first, he thought that the dozen silver coins were a blessing from the gods. It was not until later when he went to the market to buy goods that he was reminded that these were the latest batch of silver coins with the name of King Cologne engraved on them. Only Lin
Only the adults in Winterhold have it.
Old Link suddenly understood. He went home and thought about it, and finally understood why His Majesty the Winter King trampled on his fields before giving him silver coins.
It is probably that His Majesty the Winter King has specifically learned that there are five people in his family, and the food he pays for taxes is not enough to eat, and he does not want to give it directly to charity.
That's why we took this step to remedy the situation.
How kind is His Majesty King Winter! He abolished the tithe, which not only solved the food and clothing problem of a humble farmer, but also took care of his poor self-esteem.
From then on, Old Link no longer believed in the God of Harvest. He only believed in the King of Winter. He asked his three sons to serve as city guards for the King of Winter, and even went to the battlefield, although one son died in the war.
.
But old Link has no regrets.
It was an honor for his son to sacrifice for His Majesty the Winter King. Moreover, His Majesty the Winter King also sent a considerable pension.
Looking at the old farmer who was tanned by the sun and had a vicissitudes of life, but full of enthusiasm, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart again for a moment, and then followed Old Link's meaning and asked:
"Old man like this, His Majesty is looking for a creature with a fish head and a human body. It is about the height of a seven or eight-year-old child. You often fish in Winter Lake. Have you ever seen such a creature?"
After hearing this, Old Link lowered his head and thought for a moment. Several pictures appeared in his mind, and he said with some uncertainty:
"Are you talking about water monkeys?"
"Water... water monkey?"
The players in the hunting sect team looked at each other, not knowing why the first thing that came to their mind was the face of a Tibetan fox.
"That's right," Old Link nodded affirmatively,
"We don't have much culture, and we don't know what their specific names are, but they jump very fast in the water, and they are cunning and like to grab things, just like those monkeys in the mountains, so we named them water monkeys.
"
"These water monkeys have fish heads and human bodies, but they don't have much ability. If four or five adult males are together, they won't dare to move."
"..."
For a moment, Leisurely and the others were filled with surprise, knowing that the "water monkey" mentioned by Old Link was probably a Kuo-Toa fish-man.
"Captain, you are still the best. Those players are looking for you foolishly and they will find you in the year of the monkey."
The little troublemaker is no longer flattering in the team channel for a moment of leisurely flattery.
"That's~"
After a moment of leisurely laughter, he couldn’t wait to say to Old Link:
"Old man, what we are looking for should be the kind of water monkey you mentioned. Can you take us to see it? His Majesty the King is very anxious now. He wants these water monkeys to be useful."
When Old Link heard that His Majesty the Winter King was anxious, his face immediately became solemn, he patted his chest and assured the players:
"Don't worry, I will summon a few strong young men to take you there. They live on the north shore of Winter Lake, which is still a bit far away from here."
"But you must be more careful. We usually encounter small groups of water monkeys when fishing, but I guarantee you will encounter a large group if you deliberately look for them."
"When there are too many of them, even their average combat power will become very dangerous!"
After a pause, Old Link rubbed his rough hands and advised with sincerity and concern:
Chapter completed!
