699. Prenatal education per capita

the other side.

Lu Jian and Stone were walking on the streets of Higurashi Town.

Called a street, it is just a muddy road. The humidity in the forest is very heavy, and the ground is mostly wet, mixed with cow dung, human excrement, and all kinds of imaginable and unimaginable dirty things.

Stone covered his nose and looked at the people on the street. Most of them were sallow and thin. They looked starved and severely malnourished. Their eyes all had deep dark circles. Fatigue and depression were the main themes here.

What's even more concerning is the look in these people's eyes.

Although some people's clothes are ragged, it cannot hide the brilliance of ambition in their eyes. However, most of the people in Rigure Town have numb eyes, as if nothing can cause waves in their hearts.

Except for some children who don't know how hard life is, everyone here, from the residents to the soldiers, seems to have completely lost hope in life, and now they are just living like a zombie, waiting for the end of the day.

"If we want to build a gray tower here, we simply don't have enough manpower."

Stone said.

The fields ahead were not fertile, they were forcibly cultivated, and the plants planted in them were not abundant, and they could only barely sustain life.

Lu Jian has watched some documentaries before, which showed scenes from some of the most remote and impoverished mountain villages in the country. Rimu Town is not much better than those at the moment.

"Indeed, there are estimated to be less than a thousand people here, and per capita prenatal education. Even if you have the strength to work, you can't understand the drawings, and you can't do detailed work."

Lu Tiao muttered to himself.

"Furthermore, to build a gray tower, you don't just need to build a building. The gray tower represents the magic network and the entire magic system of the Kingdom of Darkness. Compared with the physical tower, the academic tower is more important.

.”

But Lu Jian also knows very well that even if Jost is the founder of Gray Tower and has countless talents and inspirations, this young man is just a poor man with only a few years to live, living in a tragic era.

In a dilapidated town, where a demonic wave might invade at any time, Lu Jian wasn't sure how he could accomplish such a great feat in such a difficult environment.

"Let's go see the fields."

Stone pointed to the fields ahead.

As he walked, he spoke.

"I didn't expect to see Mr. Drizzt again. This situation, you know, makes me feel amazing. He has seen me now, and me in the past has met him in the future. Some things seem to change accordingly.

, or maybe there is no way to change it at all.”

Stone is a remorseful person, such a person will always reminisce about the past, regret it, and be restrained.

"He will probably be very pleased because you have finally inherited his career and everything, become the Chosen One, and walked on the path he once walked."

Lu Tan replied.

Stone stopped and looked at Lu Tiao, but Lu Tiao didn't wait for him and just continued to move forward.

Stone followed, and he saw that the crops in the farmland were not growing well. Due to the polluted water sources, these plants were growing in a distorted state. It was hard to imagine what the consequences would be.

appearance.

The field continues into the lush black forest. The edge of the field is surrounded by fences, but these wooden guys will only be vulnerable when the real monsters arrive.

"What do we do now?"

Stone looked at Lu Jian.

This situation is really too bad.

Stone imagined scenes in some novels, in which a group of residents who originally knew nothing gradually awakened their own will under the protagonist's persuasive words and actions, supported the protagonist in building the city, and finally resisted foreign enemies.

The invasion, but that was just a novel. Stone felt that even if he used some extraordinary power, the townspeople here would not be able to shoulder the important task of resisting the demonic tide, both psychologically and physically.

He turned his head and found that Lu Tiao had disappeared at some point.

After searching for a while, he found that Lu Tan was talking to a farmer.

"The harvest has not been very good recently, how do you plan to survive the winter?"

Lu Jian asked.

"I don't know, just live like this and take it one day at a time."

The farmer replied in a low voice.

"What if a monster attacks?"

Lu Tan asked again.

"Monster monsters don't know."

The farmer hesitated for a moment before he answered.

"What do you think if we can build some buildings to ward off monsters? Would you like to help?"

Lu Tan asked.

"It's impossible. Those things can't be stopped. They're terrifying. There's nothing we can do about it."

The farmer shook his head, picked up the farm tools again, and continued to weed.

Seeing that the other party was no longer willing to talk to him, Lu Tan knew it and did not continue to ask.

In this isolated place, it is indeed difficult to rely on the townspeople to resist the demonic tide.

"Let's go back first. Maybe Mr. Drizzt can get something from him."

Stone came over, and he and Lu Tiao walked towards the baron's mansion. As soon as they returned to the town, they saw a group of people.

Compared with the guards in Rimu Town, that group was obviously a regular army. They were riding horses, had stomachs on their bodies, and had superb weapons. Lu Tiao couldn't help but sigh. It turns out that there are such serious soldiers in the Kingdom of Darkness in this era.

.

The leader was wearing red armor. He rode towards the baron's house with a look of contempt on his face.

At the same time, someone shouted from the cavalry.

"The Duke needs to build a palace. According to regulations, Rimu Town needs to provide one hundred young adults. Everyone in the town must gather at the gate of the Baron's Mansion and repeat."

"Bedroom?"

When Lu Tan heard these words, he felt that something was really wrong.

Rimu Town is so difficult, but those well-dressed knights still have to capture the people here to do hard labor, and they are not even building fortifications to defend against monsters, but palaces. It really makes people wonder whether the heads of these nobles have been polluted long ago.

Completely corroded.

"etc."

Lu Tan spoke to the man in red armor.

"Are you here to help guard this place?"

Since most of the townspeople were taciturn, Lu Tiao's words reached the man's ears clearly, and he glanced at Lu Tiao.

"I don't know where this businessman came from?"

The man turned the horse's head.

"I have never seen you. Where did you come from? According to the Duke's order, I have the right to collect toll tax from you."

He spoke in a stern tone as if he had seen someone he could take advantage of. At the same time, he raised the whip in his hand, as if he was going to use that thing to whip Lu Tiao if he refused to obey.

"So you're not here to help?"

Lu Tan asked innocently.

"Cut the nonsense, idiot!"

The knight in red armor saw Lu Tiao's confused look and waved his whip towards him.

But the next moment, the whip was in vain.

I saw Lu Tan nimbly dodging the opponent's whip and looking at Stone and the others.

"You all saw that he was the one who made the first move."
