This heavy snow lasted three days and two nights in one breath.

The roof of the castle is covered with a thick layer of snow.

Different from the hot summer, a monolithic stone castle will be very humid and cold in winter. The snow on the roof will penetrate through the cracks in the stone, making the entire castle walls cold to the bone.

It can be imagined how cold the internal space enclosed by the stone wall should be.

In the living room, Butler Modi is instructing the servant Vincent to bring a pile of firewood. The dry pine is rich in grease, which was specially selected when logging.

In a short while, a ball of flame lit up in the fireplace, and blue smoke was discharged from the top of the fort along the chimney, and the burning heat radiated the entire living room, bringing a touch of warmth.

"Ha~Master Butler, why is it so cold in the castle~"

Vinsen let out a sigh of relief in his palm, rubbing his hands quickly, and quietly approached the fireplace One point, trying to be more greedy for the heat coming from it.

"Vincent, you can be regarded as a servant by the master's side. Why are you shivering? It's not decent at all."

"But Master Butler, the castle is really It’s very cold. I feel almost like the ice cellar. It’s not right, Lord Butler, is your body so tough!"

"Vincent, don’t think I don’t know. Temperance, too much will hurt your body, you are still a young man, your body is like that. You are looking at me."

Compared with the shivering Vincent, Butler Modi is still that stiff tuxedo, except that there is an extra lining inside the white shirt, which can show no fear of the cold.

Modi said again.

"I'm over fifty. Since serving the master, my body is getting better day by day. Thanks to the master who was blessed by Spiritual God, I have such a strong body.

Vincent, if you can put your extra thoughts on prayers, I believe you will be the same as me."

Butler Modi took a heavy shot of Vincent. He went downstairs.

Vinson standing by the fireplace is still in a daze. He followed Butler Modi to get the old man from Bloodhoof Castle.

He was sold into the Bloodhoof Castle at the age of sixteen and became a handyman servant for three years. In the fourth year, he came to the Boulder Castle to serve Master Odin.

There is nothing unwilling or unwilling. From the day he signed the deed, he has no right to decide his life and no family.

In his opinion, there is nothing that can change his life. Everything he does is nothing but joy in suffering, let alone belief.

But what butler said just now made him suddenly awakened.

"Believe, it should be able to make me warmer..."

The young male servant who is in confusion seems to have found his direction in life. road.

...

On the white and white snowy ground in the wild, a long line of serfs like ants is struggling to move forward. The front of the line is exactly Mike.

As soon as the heavy snow stopped, he hurriedly led the team to cut logs on the edge of the cultivated land. The master had explained that before the spring, he would see a whole 400 ram of cultivated land.

"Go faster, use all your strength, if I see anyone who is lazy, don't even think about eating the next meal!" Mike urged loudly, waving his hand for the serf to pass quickly.

Behind the team are Kunas and ten militiamen from the Public Security Department. They play a more important role in helping to coordinate and command.

After all, there are too many serfs, and it’s troublesome if people don’t say anything. As for running away, don’t worry. In this cold winter, there is no other place for them to feed themselves except for the boulder collar. , Escape is bring about one's own destruction.

The serf team stepped across the farmland to the edge of the woods. So far, the farmland in Boulder Town has been reclaimed twice.

For the first time, when the first batch of serfs was purchased, 40 ram wheat fields were reclaimed in Shuichetun. Together with the original 54 ram wheat fields, they were harvested in the fall of this year.

The second time, it was Archon Bleu of Poppy Town who sent him a second batch of serfs in order to save the life of his nephew.

This group of serfs was divided into two parts by him. One half became a logging team, and the other half went to Shanghe to open up wasteland, which allowed Boulder Town to add 30 rams of potato fields.

A total of 70 rams of arable land were added to these two wasteland reclamations, which is far behind the 400 ram wasteland reclamation plan this time.

Before logging today, Mike and Ruvid discussed the reclamation issue for a long time, and they also made a special trip to ask Lucan's opinion.

Lucen said that the range of 400 rams is too large for the patrol team to search such deep woodlands, so he is not sure which direction will not be demonic beast infested.

However, Lucan also said that at the edge of the existing cultivated land in Shanghetun, Shuichetun, and Xiahetun, within one kilometer of depth, no trace of demonic beast has been found.

There is no demonic beast within three kilometers of the jungle on the west side of the residential area of ​​the town towards the gravel ridge (the land occupied by the Timberwolves).

Two kilometers to the south of the hill where the Boulder Fort is located, and two kilometers to the east of the trading square city at the entrance of the town, both directions are within the scope of the boulder jungle, and there is no trace of the demonic beast.

This is a proven situation. Lucan informed Ruvid all of them, and emphasized that there is no demonic beast, and there are still many fierce wild beasts.

Such a result made Mike and Ruvid really worried. They went back to the city hall and used the elimination method to consider it carefully.

The south side of the hill where the Lord’s Castle is located must be immovable.

In the jungle on the west side of the residential area, there are magic plants of bluebells, and they can't move naturally.

The place at the entrance of the small town is very suitable, but it is too far from the village, but also to pass through Xintun, the old residential area, and the trading square city. It is too tossing, inefficient, and inappropriate.

Thinking about it, it will eventually fall on the woodland on the north side of the three villages, which is what Lucan calls the edge of the cultivated land.

With a safety range of one kilometer, the whole thing adds up to almost 200 rams in size.

Today is the first day of land reclamation. These thousand serfs will start at Xiahetun on the westernmost side and cut all the way to Shanghetun on the east.

Push it all the way, it's 200 rams, and push it all the way back, it's 200 rams again.

"Hope everything goes well..."

Watching the tall trees fall one by one, Mike prayed in the cold wind.

When Mike and Kunas were supervising the logging of the serf team, Ruvid was not idle either.

After deciding where to reclaim, he has to direct the construction workers to build two larger timber warehouses. Otherwise, within a few days, there will be no place for the timber to be stacked.

These construction workers were transferred from the breeding base. The snow was so big that they couldn't carry out excavation work at all, so they could only be transferred to build warehouses.

In addition to storage, the wood plank warehouse also has an important wood processing function. This is a process prescribed by Master Odin himself.

On the empty space of the warehouse, a dozen workers are busy working.

A fresh log that has been cut down has to go through several processes before it can be turned into usable wood.

First put up the whole tree trunk and perform 1st Step peeling.

The black cracked bark was slowly shoveled away by the worker with a special tool, revealing the smooth white wood fiber.

After removing the bark, leave it aside to dry in the shade for two days to volatilize the surface moisture of the log. If the surface does not crack, proceed to the next step, painting.

After finishing brushing all up and down, leave it for two days, and then brush it after it dries. Repeat this three times to complete the processing of a qualified log pillar.

This kind of whole log is not only not afraid of insects, but also does not have to worry about moisture and dryness, and can be stored for a long time.

If the log is cracked during the dry process, it means that the log is not a whole.

To this place, it takes more time to deal with it. Workers need to untie the logs according to the direction of the cracked road, and then saw as much as possible into large boards.

Then perform the same three painting steps again, and store them in categories according to the size, width, and thickness of the boards for easy access by construction workers.

In order to ensure that the wood processing speed can keep up with the serfs' cutting speed, Ruvid arranged the entire 40-person serf logging team here to process the wood.

The construction workers transferred from the breeding base will build a new storage warehouse nearby.

Under the condition that the timber is nearby, the construction of the warehouse is very fast. After all, only a roof is needed to block the rain.

In six days, two brand-new timber warehouses were erected on the ground, and there was not much timber that could be stored.

However, wood is not only used for storage, but also used. The twenty permanent workers and city hall workers in Xintun have been using wood.

The ten or so workers who built the timber warehouse here will go to Xintun to build a brand new logistics department (canteen) and the Public Security Department after they are finished, and they will also use timber.

On the Xintun side, the Ruvid administrative officer planned out the area of ​​two large buildings early on, which is parallel to the second street.

Workers sweeping snow, measuring distances, and digging foundations are hard for outsiders to imagine. In such a cold winter, in the most remote corner of the Rock Territory, they can have such amazing vitality.

The whole Boulder Town in a frenzy started to move, and the master Odin in the castle was a little bit restless.

After the morning cultivation task was completed, he had nothing to do. After lunch, he decided to take a tour of the town to see where the focus of the next development is.

Odin rode on his horse and walked straight down the mountain towards the town.

But before he got to the intersection in front of the trading fair market, he ran into Knight Kunas who was coming quickly.

"Knight Kunas, what's the matter?"

"My lord, the serfs who fell the trees were attacked by demonic beasts. After preliminary investigation, I found a lot of demonic beast activities in the woodland. Traces."

"How could this happen, how are serfs casualties?"

Kunas said: "The team was cutting down on the edge of the woodland. After the incident, we gathered the team in time, but still Six serfs were killed, and even the bodies were dragged away by the demonic beast."

"Damn demonic beast!"

Odin scolded and immediately ordered: "Go to the new Let’s call Ruvid and we will meet at the City Hall!"

"Yes, my lord."

Kunas quickly turned the horse's head towards Xintun.

Odin hadn't been sitting in the city hall not long after, Kunas, Ruvid and Lucan arrived all at once.

As soon as he came in, Ruvid fell on his knees, lowered his head and said, "Sir Lord, I have already told me about the situation on the Kunas road. Six serfs have died. Please punish me!"

p>

Lucen also fell on his knees, as if he had confessed to punishment. It was the duty of the patrol office to warn the demonic beast. It was his news that misled the wasteland reclamation plan, and he was equally guilty.

"Get up, Ruvid teacher, it’s my idea to open up wasteland, and it’s not the time to be held accountable."

Odin looked towards Lucan on the side and said: "Lucen , You don’t have to blame yourself, the demonic beast’s movements are inherently random, and this time demonic beast is more unusual."

Luke was surprised when Sir Lord said this. As if remembering something.

"My lord, could it be that this heavy snow caused the wild beast to hibernate, and the demonic beast of Crushed Stone Ridge lacked food and ran out?

Before the heavy snow, that I walked through this piece of woodland personally. Within one kilometer, there was absolutely no trace of a demonic beast. The demonic beast suddenly appeared. There is only one explanation!"

"Luke, you met when you were hunting. Have you been in this situation?" Ruvid asked.

Lucan shook the head and said: "After snowing in winter, hunters are not allowed to enter the jungle. This is what my father told me.

The food for the winter is prepared in the fall. Okay, so I don’t know what happened to the woodland in previous winters, but it is rare that the demonic beast ran out of the woodland and took the initiative to attack the town."

Kunas then explained the process of the disappearance of the serfs in detail. After a while, the atmosphere of the presence gradually became serious.

Killing six serfs is easy for a demonic beast to do, but to drag six serfs away at once, this is obviously not something that a demonic beast can do, it must be several.

The problem we are facing now is whether there are demonic beasts in the jungle in other directions of the town, except for the direction of Xiahetun. If you don’t figure out this problem, don’t want to sleep peacefully this winter. Feel it.

Just as Ruvid was discussing with them, Master Odin in the theme closed his eyes and said nothing, because he was now in Soul Space, looking at the map of the Book of Faith.

In Odin's eyes, a full circle of red light appeared on the map, enclosing Boulder Town, and only the business road out of the town, in a circle of red areas, a white line opened.

You must know that even the Timberwolves that owned Wolf King at that time only occupied a piece of woodland on the west side of the residential area of ​​the town, but now there is such a large area of ​​dangerous red area.

Odin quickly calmed down and saw some differences on the map.

This big circle is the red area, yes, but the color is darker and lighter, and most of the area does not exceed the color depth when Wolf King occupied it.

Under Odin's careful screening, it was found that three areas had the darkest color, and one of them had a color depth that exceeded that of Wolf King at that time.

Moreover, there is no demonic beast icon in the red warning area. Obviously, everything is still unknown.

"I knew that the edge of this endless mountain range was not so easy to treat."
