0317 Infinite Possibilities
According to the new travel rules, how long does Zhou Qingfeng stay in another world before he can stay in the real world for the same time. In order to respond to emergencies in time, he usually goes back and forth every twelve or twenty-four hours.
The real world garbage cleaning industry has been working for a month, and the rune research has begun to show results. Zhou Qingfeng slowly made a breakthrough and achieved some success.
In another world, Zhou Qingfeng took the retreat team to return to Harmony Village for half a month and entered a half-month rest period. Sophia could survive in the real world, but when she returned to another world, she was still firmly bound to him.
With the blessing of the "Holy Light" network, the retreat team was in danger along the way. Although they walked slowly, at least all the personnel arrived at their destination. Even the weak female slaves survived and were taken care of on the way. They had to eat every meal and gained a few pounds.
Harmonious Village is still the same. For the people in the village, except for the elves remains, this month is ordinary. This is the normal life in another world, and there is no noticeable change in the months and years.
However, Zhou Qingfeng led the team back, and everyone in the village walked out of the house and greeted him on both sides of the road. Many people knelt on the ground with their hands touching the ground. The same was true for him when he came back the last time, and the villagers just showed their greatest respect.
Lorraine sat on the frame of the carriage, and she was full of curiosity since entering the Black Forest. The number of carriages on the road was increasing, and the flow of people became frequent. Many poor people walked forward just to reach this village hidden deep in the dense forest.
Such scenes are also rare in Banshee Castle.
"Our village is not difficult at all, and living here is much better than a city outside." Seth kept giving lectures to the newcomers in the tone of the people who have experienced it.
"When you arrive at Harmonious Village, you have to learn some new rules. You will soon find that this place is very different from other places. Some rules have been abolished and some new rules should be kept in mind. I have taught you all on the way, but don't forget it."
On the way back, Seth, as a personal servant beside Zhou Qingfeng, repeatedly taught the rules of Harmony Village among Lorraine and others. Now it is just a replay of the old tune. Everyone thinks that his arrogant look is quite annoying.
But when I really arrived at Harmony Village, the gravel road spread out from the entrance of the village, the flat ground was beautiful and generous, and the carriage was not bumpy at all.
When you walk into the village, the villagers smile and the roads are clean and tidy. There are special trash cans and fixed toilets on the roads. It looks like a paradise on earth.
The Banshee Castle is not so particular. In that city with more than 30,000 people, every household has its own toilet bowl. The nobles and rich people will ask for special people to clean up, and the civilians will take the time to pour it out. As for the poor, the whole world is garbage dump and cesspool.
Seth cursed herself in Banshee Castle every day when she went out to stomp and drown. Lorraine secretly despised why this man was so pretentious. After all, it was normal to stomp and drown when she went out to stomp. When she arrived at Harmony Village, she found that she was a little unable to get on her feet.
Because it's too clean.
The villagers were also arrogant towards the newcomer, looking down at him with high eyes. Lorraine looked at his dirty shoes, tattered clothes, and thin and sallow face. She immediately felt like an unknown local bun, secretly feeling inferior.
Not long after entering the village, a short and fat bald dwarf jumped out. It first rushed to the female knight and shouted, "Inisa, I'm not doing it anymore," then pounced on the skeleton war horse, raised its hands and shouted.
"Victor, you're finally back. Let me go back to refine the potion. I don't want to be the temporary village chief anymore. I really don't have the ability to manage it, and this job is too tormenting."
Lorraine stretched her head forward behind the convoy. She now knew who her master was, the tall young man riding a skeleton war horse, wearing heavy armor, and named Victor Hugo.
The bald dwarf said something before the war horse, so Master Hugo and Ms. Inesa turned around and walked out of the village. Lorraine's head turned and heard a few conversations.
The old dwarf was complaining, "In the past two months, there have been refugees who want to enter our village, with a number of at least one thousand. We cannot accommodate so many people, so we can only refuse. However, they refused to leave and stayed outside the village and built a spontaneous camp."
Lorraine knew what the old dwarf was talking about, and before entering the village, she did see a big shabby camp. At first she thought it was a harmonious village, but she was extremely disappointed for a while. It turned out that they were poor people who wanted to enter the village but were unavailable.
Inisa followed and said, "This camp appeared two months ago, all of which were refugees from Hanfeng City. They came to us at great risk, and many people died along the way. Those who lived were young and strong in their teens and 20s, mostly men, without elderly people or children."
The old dwarf continued to say, "The Cold Wind City has been in chaos in the past two months. The Banshee Castle seems to have issued some imperial edict. The long-legged family cannot control the situation, and the powerful people in the city are unwilling to sell food again. The famine broke out quickly and a large number of dead people began to die."
The word ‘famine’ made everyone’s heart tighten, and Lorraine understood what that meant—riot, fighting, cannibalism, slaughter.
On the way back to Harmony Village, the retreating team passed by the town where famine occurred more than once. Lorraine had seen thugs who were dizzy and pounded the convoy, bandits holding dead people's thighs, and water wells filled with corpses.
No one wants to share food for hungry people. There is not even Lorraine who believes in Ilmat, just because the food is too precious. No one wants to recall those scenes, and just think about it will make people unable to sleep at night.
"I'll bet." Several more heads poked out from the carriage, and the young captain who had led Lorraine before said optimistically, "Your Excellency Hugo will definitely not sit idly. Our lord is a kind person."
Lorraine looked at the tall back, and everyone in the carriage looked at him.
Sure enough, a powerful voice shouted, "Give each refugee a bowl of porridge every day. In addition, don't let them be too idle. Organize and do whatever you want. It's good to go to the logging yard to move firewood."
The newcomers breathed a sigh of relief, and the villagers also felt that this was the case. Everyone looked at the tall figure who was hurried back in admiration, as if the savior was right in front of them.
The convoy officially entered the village, and every place was very novel. For example, the acidic ants walking slowly by the road were strange sights that could not be seen elsewhere. No one expected that those large ants actually acted as porters in the village and did a good job.
"Lorraine, get off the car and follow me." Seth greeted and gathered all the students recruited from Banshee Castle. "Everyone, you have also seen that our village is the best in the world, no one."
This statement aroused everyone's recognition. Everyone saw many towns in Beidi along the way, and there was nothing better than Harmonious Village.
"You are also the luckiest. You can escape disasters, enjoy preferential treatment, and don't have to work. But this is not something that comes naturally. You also shoulder the mission, which is to make yourself more wise and capable.
The war is about to begin in the North, and you will also intervene. Whether you can survive the war depends on how much you can learn before the war? In the Harmonious Village, the weak will also have a bite of food, but only one bite of food."
Seth's words were a bit dry, but he successfully ignited a fire in Lorraine's heart. She was originally a little girl who didn't have much thoughts about the future, but now she has infinite possibilities for her advancement.
