==================
As night fell, a group of people carried the molten crystal and shuttled around the town.
This time they brought back more than fifty molten crystals. Lian Yun originally wanted to make them into a structure similar to street lamps to provide lighting at night.
But the materials now are too scarce to support Lian Yun’s idea.
They were divided into three groups and found convenient locations on both sides of several frequently used streets in the town, so that they could illuminate the road at night but not be obtrusive during the day.
Lina listened to Lian Yun's idea for the streetlights on the way, thought for a while and said, "The village chief is good at casting things. Uncle Garin and his friends' daggers and swords were all made by the village chief. You can ask him when you return to the village."
"Is your village chief old?" Lian Yun asked. Through these days of getting along, she also knew some information about the village from Lina.
Their village has existed for a long time, and because there are few monsters nearby and their levels are low, it is very suitable for settlement.
There have never been many people in the village. They are self-sufficient and live a pretty good life.
But since a group of orcs settled near the village a few years ago, their quality of life began to decline sharply.
Those orcs were rude and unreasonable, often transforming into beast form and wreaking havoc on the village, not only trampling their fields and houses but also destroying their food. The threat and damage they posed to the village was even greater than that posed by the surrounding monsters.
It was also for this reason that many people left the village.
The only ones left are the children picked up over the years and a few adults who are reluctant to leave the village.
Garin's caravan is the only way for the village to make money.
Every time they go out, the villagers will prepare for a long time, including dry food for the journey, goods to bring with them, and fat camels.
"The village chief..." Lina rolled her eyes. "It's hard to tell how old the village chief is, and no one has ever asked. But Uncle Garin and the others were raised by the village chief."
Lian Yun nodded, not quite understanding. She was not very clear about the age mechanism in this world, but it sounded like the village chief was a highly respected person.
She was a little worried: "If I ask him to do too much at once, will he be tired?"
"No!" Lina smiled. "He likes casting things very much. I remember him saying that if he didn't want to be the village chief, he would probably become a blacksmith."
"And I have several friends who are learning casting from the village chief. They will be very happy to help the village."
Lian Yun smiled and touched her head: "You are working for the welfare of the village."
Lina stuck out her tongue playfully: "It just so happens that my sister needs it, and our village is short of money."
"Do you miss home?" Lian Yun asked suddenly.
Lina stared at Lian Yun with her round, unblinking eyes: "Yes. When are we going?"
Lian Yun smiled faintly and took the girl beside him in his arms. "How about we go tomorrow?"
"Okay!" Lina buried herself in the girl's arms, seeming to be excited on purpose, but her voice sounded muffled.
Who doesn’t miss home?
Lian Yun hugged the little girl tightly in his arms, gently stroking her hair with his hands as a silent comfort.
The molten crystals on the ground emitted bright light, dispelling the surrounding darkness, and the town was illuminated for the first time at night.
After placing the molten crystals, everyone returned to their residences.
Lian Yun asked them to leave some molten crystals and put them in the houses, and the houses that were once pitch dark became much brighter.
She asked Lina to go upstairs first and turned to knock on Lana's door.
"Lanna."
Lanna, who had just returned to his room and had not yet taken off his cloak, heard the familiar voice and quickly opened the door. He looked at Lian Yun, who had a mysterious expression, with a good temper and said, "Sir."
Lian Yun couldn't hide his joy: "What color clothes do you want?"
Lanna smiled and had a guess in her mind: "I like everything the Lord gives me."
"It's boring," Lian Yun muttered, but the ending of her tone showed her good mood.
She shook her hands and a robe appeared.
It's black.
"Do you like it? It's the same color as your cloak."
"I like it." Lana's eyes seemed to contain stars, and tenderness flowed in the sparkle.
"I'm glad you like it, but it doesn't matter if you don't like it anymore..." Lian Yun's voice became more mysterious, and his hands shook again, and his robe turned pink.
Lanna raised her eyebrows slightly.
Adults love magic.
Seeing Lanna's unexpected expression, Lian Yun couldn't stop smiling and handed him the clothes with both hands: "I bought this for you tonight. It can change colors at will. Isn't it amazing?"
Lanner nodded and said gently, "It must be very expensive."
"That's nothing!" Lian Yunhao patted his chest angrily, "Are you unconfident about my financial resources?"
As a lord who has money but no place to spend it and is forced into poverty, she said that she has no materials for infrastructure and no seeds for farming, so her only happiness now is shopping and giving gifts!
The surprised and happy expression on others' faces when they receive gifts is the moment that makes her happiest at present.
"Hurry up and change what you're wearing. You've been hanging out with me for all these days and you don't even have a decent piece of clothing. It's really outrageous." Lian Yun sighed.
If she can go to the city one day, she will definitely go on a shopping spree, at least buy 365 sets for each of the people around her, and change them every day.
"I forgot to mention this to Garin and the others," Lian Yun said in frustration after realizing it belatedly. "I should have asked them to bring some things over."
She was extremely nervous during those days, and was only focused on how to protect herself and how to complete the task. Various things happened one after another, and she was overwhelmed.
If we talk about the energy that is actually put into the construction of the town, I am afraid that is not as much as that put into Xiaobai.
"We have seen everything the adults have done. With the adults around, the town will surely develop quickly. It's just a matter of time." Lanna comforted softly.
Lian Yun chatted with him for a few more words, said good night to each other, and then went back to the room to rest.
.
The next day she was awakened by the sound of Xiaobai planing the door.
The sound of the door being scratched was so loud and urgent that she thought something big had happened. She quickly got up, turned on her telepathy and ran to open the door.
Xiaobai heard her footsteps and sat down obediently the moment she opened the door, his round eyes looking at Lian Yun who looked confused.
"I'm hungry."
The little baby voice spoke each word clearly, and Lian Yun's eyes turned black when he heard it.
"Didn't I feed you just last night before bed?"
"I'm hungry again."
Being stared at pitifully by such a white ball, Lian Yun really couldn't say any words of blame. He sighed with a hint of pampering and bent down to hug it.
…
I couldn't hold him.
Lian Yun gestured with a dark face, and saw a trace of shock in Lina's eyes as she came upstairs after hearing the noise, so he came to a horrible conclusion in his heart.
Xiaobai grew up overnight.
If the Xiaobai before was a slightly round little white mouse without a tail, then the one in front of us now has grown into the size of a small dog overnight.
It seems even rounder.
No wonder he was shouting that he was hungry.
"Do all of you flying gerbils look like this?"
Xiaobai tilted his head, his eyes full of confusion.
"...Okay." Lian Yun tried to accept this fact. Seeing that Xiaobai was about to jump onto his shoulder as usual, he quickly threw out a piece of meat to attract its attention.
Xiaobai left his master behind without hesitation, turned around and flew towards the piece of meat.
While it was eating meat, Lian Yun solemnly made a request: "With your current weight, you can't lie on my shoulders anymore. Otherwise, I will be crushed to death and no one will give you food."
Xiaobai nodded with a look of grievance and ate even faster.
Lian Yun and Lina went downstairs and Aibei had already prepared breakfast for everyone.
Lian Yun discussed with a few people last night that they would take Lina back to the village together today, so they had to replenish their physical strength in the morning.
After breakfast, Lian Yun explained the approximate route to everyone.
The village was located at the edge of the desert, not far from here. If nothing went wrong, we could reach it before sunset.
"Why don't I take everyone there?" Aibei scratched his head. "A day is a bit long. If I run fast, we can get there before noon."
"Is this okay?"
Although Lian Yun had thought about this, but... wouldn't it be unethical for Aibei?
"That's nothing." Abe waved his hand carelessly, "I don't mind. I'm happy to be able to do something for everyone! Besides, I haven't seen so many people in a long time, so I'm a little looking forward to it."
Lina nodded happily. "I'll make sure to tell them that you're not that kind of orc. They'll be very welcome to you!"
Everyone left the town and headed for Lina's village.
Aibei was very fast and used his special powers to shield them from the wind and sand. The three of them sat steadily on the bear's back.
They had long been tired of the endless expanses of yellow sand. On the way, Lian Yun was bored and told them about the delicious food in his own world.
Just as Abe said, before noon, Lina excitedly stood up and pointed in a direction, cheering, "We started from here! Just a little further and we'll reach our village."
Seeing a green field of windbreak grass in the distance, Abe quickened his pace.
"Look! That..."
Lina's voice stopped abruptly.
