Heiyao Village, this is the new name that the villagers have given to their new home. After all, the fortress where their lord lives is called Heiyao Fortress, so the villagers named the village where they live Heiyao Village.
By the way, a villager had previously proposed to name the village Rebolet Village, but of course Rebolet rejected it, and he solemnly used his rights as a lord. This was also the first time that the lord used his rights to deny their decision.
"Lord Uma, I hope the lord and the others will be okay." An old man came to the housekeeper who was waiting outside the village entrance and said.
Uma just watched Reborret and the others leave in the distance, waiting silently.
"Don't worry, Master Reborret and the others are very strong. Nothing will happen to them. We just need to wait patiently until they come back."
Uma actually didn't want to stay in Black Jade Village waiting for Reborret, but Reborret said that Black Jade Village was as important as his life now, so Uma had no choice but to stay here.
While Uma was still thinking, many villagers gathered at the village entrance without him noticing.
"Grandpa, look, isn't that the lord coming back?" At this time, a child in the crowd suddenly pointed to the distance and said.
Everyone looked into the distance and vaguely saw a few figures slowly approaching here.
Soon everyone confirmed that the figure in the distance was indeed the lord. Just when everyone had no time to be happy, someone discovered that Tieti, who had followed them, had not returned.
"Lord Tieti will not..."
"Don't talk nonsense, no... no..."
At this time, even Uma was a little worried about Reborret's safety.
Reborret, Gobro and the others also saw the people waiting at the village entrance from a distance.
"Hehe, it's a pity that Lord Uma didn't come this time, otherwise we might have come back faster." Gobubei said naively.
"Hehe, Gobusi, you killed the least number of people this time. You have to give out all the dried meat today according to the agreement." Gobnan teased while hugging Gobusi.
"Hmph, you guys are just trash. Lord Reborret and I are entangled with a real knight. Okay, to be honest, my one person is worth a hundred of you guys."
Everyone was communicating with each other, but Gobro was the only one who was looking at a figure at the entrance of the village without joining in the conversation.
"Uma, thank you for your hard work in looking after the house."
After arriving at the village entrance, Rebollet greeted Uma, but Rebollet noticed that the faces of the villagers around him were not very good.
"What happened?" Lei Boruit asked nervously. Could it be that Heiyao Village was attacked during the time he was away?
"Lord... Lord, did Lord Tieti die in the battle?" a villager asked tearfully.
After hearing the villagers' questions, Reborret and Gobro were unable to react for a while.
"What? Tieti died in the battle? Wasn't it Tieti who swung the sledgehammer with you, Gebubei?" Gebusi asked Gebubei.
Gobbei also fell into deep thought at this time...
"Is there something you misunderstood? Tieti and Gobdong were just waiting there for the traveling merchant. Our operation went smoothly.
By the way, we've eliminated Sas and Ross, the people who have been oppressing you. So you can all live peacefully in Black Jade Village from now on. No one will be charging you high taxes or forcing you to mine countless ores."
The villagers were all a little dazed at this time. Although they had indeed lived a good life in the past few days since coming to Heiyao Village, they no longer had to go deep into the orc territory to secretly mine ore, and they did not have to worry about being forced to die because of not being able to hand over the ore.
Suddenly, several villagers burst into tears and kept muttering.
"Dad, it would be great if you could hold on a little longer. You can obviously live a good life after the lord comes, wuwuwu..."
This emotion quickly spread among the villagers, and all of them started crying at once.
Lei Boreit was somewhat touched by this scene. This world was the same as his own world at that time. The common people at the bottom had no human rights at all. It could even be said that they were not human beings, but just livestock.
"No matter what, I will continue to move forward and realize that great idea in this world, so that at least all people can have basic human rights."
After comforting all the villagers and letting everyone go home to rest, Reborret took Uma, Gobro and others back to the Black Diamond Fortress.
At the conference table, Reborret, Uma, and Gobro sat together to discuss the next development plan for the territory.
"Master Leibolite, although the villagers have tried to reclaim the wasteland for cultivation, the hope is slim due to the lack of water resources.
With all due respect, it's a bit of a pipe dream for us to cultivate crops in Blackrock Territory."
Although Uma's words were very discouraging, they were also an indisputable fact in the Blackrock Territory. It didn't matter that the land in the Blackrock Territory was barren. At most, the yield of the crops would be lower. However, the most fundamental problem could not be solved at all, and that was the lack of water resources.
There was a deep well where the villagers lived before. Although the water quality was not very good, it was enough to feed the villagers.
"I also arranged for people to try to dig deep wells in the surrounding area, but there was no good news."
Uma also shook her head when she said this.
"Uma, there is a solution to the water problem."
Reborite said as he took out the water tree seed.
Everyone looked at the seed in Reborret's hand. The ordinary blue seed made everyone a little confused for a moment.
"Master Rebollet, what is this?" Uma asked doubtfully.
"Uma, have you heard of Mizuki?" When Reborret said the word Mizuki, Uma suddenly remembered something and stood up excitedly.
"Master Reborret! You said that the seed in your hand is the seed of the water tree!" There was a slight tremor in Uma's tone. It seemed that Uma knew a lot about the water tree.
"Sorry, Master, I lost my composure. Master, do you remember that there is a Red Dragon Lake in our territory?"
Listening to Uma's question, Reborite seemed to realize something.
"Uma, you mean! Our lake."
"Yes, that lake was formed by the water trees planted by the Marquis back then."
Lei Boruit was quite shocked at this moment. His father, whom he had never met, had actually planted water tree seeds. Wait, where did his father get the water tree seeds from?
Before Reborite could think, Uma continued.
"Master, although the water tree species can bring me huge water resources, it still cannot solve our current water shortage problem."
