Shulin Village
Under Leonard's guidance, Elena continuously cast wind spells to keep the two of them flying at high speed. When her magic power was running low, she would take out the Rejuvenation Potion from her space ring and drink it.
They flew continuously like this, and after more than three hours they landed on the edge of a vast grassland.
The windshield was opened, and the wind wrapped in the fragrance of grass and trees blew in my face. The layers of wild grass in front of me were rippled by the wind.
The sky is like a dome, covering the whole area.
The sky is vast and the wilderness is boundless.
The wind blows the grass low and you can see cattle and sheep.
The poem she had memorized before came to Elena's mind at this moment.
She had never been to the prairie, but she felt that the prairie should be like what she saw before her: vast, majestic and magnificent.
"Where is this? Is it the prairie?" Elena asked.
"This is Padres Meadows." Leonard added, fearing Elena might not understand, "This is where your brother, Joyce, once served."
Elena still didn't quite understand, and said confusedly: "Oh, it's the front line of the empire." She only knew that the place where Joyce served was the front line.
Leonard chuckled. "How come you don't know anything? Did you spend all your time sleeping in during school?"
What she said... is actually not wrong. The original owner had no interest in these things and was easily distracted during geography and history classes. So after inheriting the memories, she has no impression of geography and history knowledge. It cannot be said that she has no impression at all, it is just very shallow and faint.
Elena asked guiltily: "Isn't it the Imperial Front?"
"Of course not. This place is far from the Caropetto Empire. This is the front line where the human world fights against the tide of monsters." Leonard tapped Elena's forehead. "You should catch up on your geography and history lessons."
"Then you can give me extra lessons now." Elena immediately climbed up the pole.
Leonard sighed, feeling the helplessness of a top student facing a poor student. He quickly introduced the basic situation of Padres Prairie to Elena.
Pads Grassland is a world border line. This side is the human world, and the other side is the Warcraft world. Every 10 years, there will be a Warcraft invasion, which is called the Warcraft tide.
In order to protect the common living space, the human world has a common oath to send a fixed number of warriors every year to patrol and defend the Pads grassland. When a monster tide occurs, enough troops must be sent to cooperate in combat.
This oath has lasted for nearly 200 years. During these 200 years, the kingdoms in the human world have changed several times, and the number and territory of kingdoms have also changed, but this oath has always been implemented, and every year warriors come to Pads Grassland to serve.
"No country defaulted?" Elena asked. She didn't believe it.
Leonard smiled. "Any country that dared to break the contract would no longer exist. The seven demigods of the continent will not allow such a breach of contract to happen, as they are the swearers and executors of this oath."
"Wow!" Elena exclaimed.
Leonard's expression turned solemn. "Each of them paid a heavy price to resist the tide of monsters and protect the human world."
Leonard looked down at Elena. "For example, your teacher, Dean Patrick, died on the front lines of the resistance. And my idol, Lord Glenn, the only epic knight, lost his lover on the front lines. The other five demigods, and the three major churches they belonged to, also sacrificed countless heroes to defend this grassland."
Elena was silent.
"300 years ago, Warcraft invaded. Human kingdoms fought each other, the front lines fell one after another, and countless people died. But in that chaotic and dark era, countless heroes emerged. They turned the tide and gave everything. In the end, we have this relatively peaceful world." Leonard looked up at the high sky.
"It was a dark era, but it also brought a ray of hope. A great crisis also brought great opportunities. The Sequence inheritance, which had been interrupted for many years, has a new successor. Of the seven demigods, four reached the pinnacle during that era."
Leonard's simple narration carries a heavy historical weight.
"It was an epic era," Elena said with respect.
"Yes, the epic age of heroes." Leonard nodded affirmatively.
After a brief review of history, Leonard pointed in one direction.
"Let's go that way next."
"Hey, are we going to walk? Not fly over?" Elena asked in surprise.
Leonard said: "This is a sensitive area. Unless you are a patrolling soldier, it is very dangerous to fly here casually. You will really get shot down."
Oh, military management area, no-fly zone.
Elena nodded: "I understand."
Leonard pulled Elena's wrist and said, "I'll run with you, and you cast a light body spell on yourself."
Soon, Leonard rushed forward like a high-speed train, fast and steady. He held Elena in his hand. Elena was now like a kite flying. With Leonard's pulling force, she didn't need to run at all.
After running for half an hour, they came to a sparse forest. Through the distance between the trees, Elena saw that there seemed to be several houses deep in the forest.
Is this a settlement?
Leonard took Elena in, and when they got closer, a large village appeared in front of Elena.
It turns out there are more than just a few houses.
Elena looked at the village in front of her in surprise, as well as the orcs busying around everywhere.
I don't know whether they should be considered orcs or half-orcs, or humans with signs of bestiality. In short, these people have more or less bestial characteristics. Some of them have animal legs, some have bird feathers on their heads instead of hair, and some have scales on their exposed skin.
"What village is this?" Elena asked quietly as she approached Leonard.
Leonard smiled and said, "This is my village, and I am the village chief."
???
!!!
"You are the village chief!" Elena's voice changed in surprise.
Leonard nodded: "Yeah, didn't you see that? Is it weird?"
Elena shook her head honestly: "I really can't tell. Do you and this village have any common symbols? Besides, what village chief would run around outside like you and not come back for several months? Aren't you worried about what's happening in the village?"
For the first time, Elena felt that Leonard was unreliable.
Leonard responded confidently: "I'm out there to make money, and the money I earn is also for use. I'm a good village chief."
"Did you use your money?" Wasn't it just money coming in, never going out, piling up a mountain of coins and sleeping on top of it like a dragon? Elena swallowed the rest of the rant.
Before Leonard could answer, a cheerful voice came from far away.
"The village chief is back, everyone come here quickly." A man with brown-red hair all over his body and a tail on his butt ran over, waving to people in all directions as he ran.
Leonard looked at the newcomer happily: "Neil, how are you doing recently? I'm back."
Neil rubbed his hands and scratched his head excitedly: "I'm fine, welcome back, village chief brother."
As Neil spoke, his curious eyes kept sliding towards Elena.
Leonard introduced him with a smile: "This is my good friend, Elena. I am doing business with her now."
"Oh, you're the Viscountess." Neil suddenly realized and immediately put on a warm smile. "Welcome to Shulin Village."
Elena smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Elena, nice to meet you, Neil."
Neil was so happy that he rubbed his hands faster: "Hello, hello, welcome, welcome."
Soon, the villagers came running behind Neil.
Leonard greeted them one by one and reintroduced Elena to them.
Elena also greeted them one by one.
The villagers surrounded the two and walked towards the center of the village.
This village is quite big, much bigger than the one Elena saw outside just now, probably only slightly smaller than the town of Fussen. There are also many villagers. Elena took a quick look around and saw several hundred people.
The villagers all have animal characteristics, without exception, from old to young, this is a mature village.
Leonard brought Elena and the villagers who welcomed him to a house in the center of the village.
Leonard took out the key and unlocked the house.
A dusty smell from stagnant air hit my nose.
Elena cast a cleaning spell and the air in the whole house became fresh.
"Wow, it's a wizard." The surrounding villagers exclaimed in unison.
Leonard went in and brought a chair for Elena and placed it at the door: "Sit here for a while and rest. I'll ask them. They know more about animals than I do."
Elena was indeed a little tired after flying for so long, so she sat down obediently to rest.
Leonard stood in front of the door and spoke to the villagers.
"Everyone, listen to me. I've come back to ask for your help. Do you know which birds like to eat diplodocids?"
The villagers thought for a while and then started talking at once.
"Blue-feathered bird."
"Black-feathered bird."
"Big finch."
"Hush, Hush, Hush."
“…”
The villagers listed seven or eight kinds of birds in one breath.
Leonard then asked, "Okay, which of these birds won't steal other birds' food?"
Villagers: Aren’t birds’ food similar?
Before the villagers could ask, Leonard explained, "Elena wants to buy a lot of birds, but she's worried that the birds she buys will be too greedy and snatch all the food away from the other birds. That would be bad if the other birds starved to death."
Villagers: Oh, so that’s how it is.
The villagers began to discuss among themselves, and after discussing for a while, they finally came up with an answer.
A villager with a beak-shaped mouth was recommended: "Big finches, big finches are smart and easy to tame. After they finish eating the giant beetles, you can feed them some food. They will soon recognize their master."
Elena nodded as she listened. To put it bluntly, she was asked to raise another flock of birds.
This requirement is not difficult. How much food can birds eat? Compared with the destruction of food and plants by beetles, it is better to raise a flock of birds.
Elena looked at Leonard, who was also looking down at her.
"Then let's buy a big finch. Where can we buy it?" Elena asked.
Leonard: "That's easy. It's nearby."
Sure enough, at Leonard's command, half of the villagers ran out, and in less than an hour, they brought back dozens of birds.
Dozens of birds were packed into several net bags and handed to Leonard.
Elena was so happy that the problem was solved so easily.
She immediately took out her wallet and looked up at Leonard, "How much should I pay them?"
The villagers helped catch the birds and put in the effort, so she had to pay them. She couldn't let them work in vain. However, Elena had no idea how much to pay, so she subconsciously asked Leonard.
Leonard laughed. "You might as well give us food and clothes instead of money. Look here. Even if you have money, where can you buy things? The human gathering place is far away from here."
That's true.
Elena nodded: "Okay, I will prepare more food and cloth and send them over when I get back."
After saying that, Elena carefully looked around Leonard's house, and finally decided to dig a shallow pit on the open space in front of the house. She took out a silver coin from her purse, threw it in, and then covered the shallow pit.
"I haven't had time to make a special positioning point yet, so I'll use the silver coins to locate it first." Elena said to Leonard. She deliberately spoke loudly so that the surrounding villagers could hear.
The purpose is to let the villagers know that this is the positioning point so that they will not dig it out. Whether intentional or unintentional, it is always good to explain it in advance.
Leonard turned around and repeated the sentence, and reminded the villagers not to dig here.
The villagers nodded obediently, but their curious eyes kept looking at the pit.
Leonard could only add one more sentence: "With this thing, it will be more convenient for me to come back in the future."
The villagers were all happy at once.
"With this positioning point, I can use the teleportation scroll to directly deliver food and cloth. By the way, do you want to prepare medicine?" Elena asked.
"Just prepare some recovery potions and magic potions. They have very good recovery abilities and can do it on their own," Leonard said.
"Okay." After saying that, Elena's gaze turned to the shallow pit. "If there's a chance in the future, I'll build a teleportation point here."
This will make it more convenient for Leonard to come back.
Unexpectedly, Leonard shook his head. "No, this is the front line, an unsafe place. We can only use teleportation scrolls, not teleportation points. If we establish a teleportation point, when the monster tide occurs and Shulin Village falls, wouldn't that teleportation point be a fast lane for the monsters? That would bring disaster to Fussen Town."
Elena hadn't expected this, so she listened and learned the lesson: "I understand."
After a simple meal in Shulin Village, Leonard carried several large bags of magpies, and Elena tore open the teleportation scroll and returned to the Viscount's Mansion.
