Lord of Riding and Slashing

Chapter 164: Bligh Village

There are three villages under Fort Isaac, namely Diya Village, Djibouti Village and Bligh Village. The closest to Isaac is Bligh Village, which is located 20 to 30 kilometers south of Fort Isaac. place.

This is also the only way to reach Fort Isaac from the outside world, and it is also the largest of the three villages.

The population of Bulai Village is more than 400 people, which is double that of the previous Tammy Village, and the population is much larger than the other two villages. In fact, the scale of other villages in this era is very small. There are only more than a hundred people, but the number of villages is very large, and they are spread widely, especially in the plains. There is a village not far away, and the population is still very dense.

However, a country with many mountains like the Principality of Besse is an exception. The Principality of Besse is sparsely populated, but the population is relatively concentrated. The population of the village is twice the average level of the entire continent, but the number of villages is relatively large. It is much less, and the villages are scattered, and the distances are far apart, at least more than ten kilometers.

The main reason is that many places in mountainous areas are indeed not suitable for human habitation. Villagers want to choose very rare flat land, but flat land is very limited in mountainous areas, so a village has a relatively large population, but a large number of people does not mean a village will be more prosperous.

On the contrary, the more populous villages in the Principality of Besse will be poorer, because the resources of a place are limited, and it may not be able to support so many villagers at all. Unless there is another way out, a group of villagers may starve to death every year People, the reason why Bligh Village has such a large population also has a lot to do with its geographical location.

Since the road leading to the outside world passes through the middle of Bulai Village, caravans or pedestrians coming and going will inevitably stop and rest for a while, which brings a glimmer of life to Bulai Village, relying on this road, Only the village of Bligh can feed so many people, and the population will increase.

However, under the exploitation of the Krissen family, Bligh Village has never been able to usher in better development. Otherwise, with the size and geographical advantages of Bligh Village, it should have been upgraded to a small town long ago, not like it is now. It is still just an ordinary poor village.

Because the Collison family will only make money from Bligh Village, and don't care about the development of Bligh Village, let alone invest in the construction of Bligh Village, so after Nord arrived in Bligh Village, he saw A very large, but extremely poor village.

A road divided the whole village into two sides. Nord entered the village along the road. When the surrounding villagers saw Nord and his party coming on horseback, they thought it was the knight master from the castle, because a few days ago Ollie The viscount had just led someone past, and by the way, he also took away this year's tax in advance.

This makes the villagers who have no income this winter worse. They have just passed through the cold winter, and their hearts are still extremely cold. Just like the heavy snow this year, it is cold and ruthless. The first reaction was that Master Ollie came to collect taxes again.

After Nuode entered the village, the village chief of Bligh Village was already waiting for them, but after seeing the appearance of Nuode and his party, the village chief was very puzzled.

Because to the village head of Bligh Village, this group of people looked very strange, as if they had never seen them before. Because Bligh Village is located on an important road, Viscount Ollie would pass by Bligh Village every time he came back. Therefore, the members of the Krissen family and the village head of Bligh Village basically knew each other.

But this group of people in front of him is definitely the first time he has seen it, but the leading young man with the appearance of a nobleman on a horse seems familiar, as if he has seen it before, but he is too far away to see it clearly, but the others... I'm sure, I've never seen it before, the head of Bulai Village is very confident in his vision.

The main business of Bligh Village is to provide some accommodation for the merchants who come and go, and to collect some goods in the mountains or two nearby villages, and sell them to these merchants nearby. Originally, Bligh Village can also sell some food. After all, board and lodging service is an industrial chain.

But it doesn't work, all actions related to food are not allowed, even if the food is grown by these villagers themselves, so although these villagers are guarding a trade route, their lives are not rich.

Nord didn't choose to come down on the horse, but asked the Hill scholar to talk to them. Nord led the soldiers to look at these villagers indifferently, maintaining the pride of a nobleman, and looked disdainful to talk to them , Scholar Hill got off his horse and walked up to the head of Bligh Village.

"My lord, where did you come from? I am Joel, the village chief of Bligh Village. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Although Village Chief Joel doesn't know the person in front of him, he can tell from his attire and demeanor that the middle-aged man in front of him must not be an ordinary person. Needless to say, the person who is still waiting in the distance must be an aristocrat My lord, Village Chief Joel is very familiar with this kind of behavior of nobles.

So even though the village chief Joel didn't know their identities, he was still very humble in front of Scholars Hill, and he didn't dare to make mistakes at all, because no matter where the nobles came from, he, a little village chief, could not Offended.

"We came from Fort Isaac, and we came here specifically to find you, Chief Joel, for something."

Scholar Hill said with a smile, while observing the situation in Bligh Village and the behavior of Village Chief Joel. In fact, the main purpose of coming this time is to inform the three villages that Fort Isaac has changed to a new one. In addition to the master, there is another thing to let Scholars Hill understand the situation of these three villages.

So Scholar Hill is the protagonist of this mission. He needs to carefully investigate, not only the terrain environment, but also whether the three village chiefs can continue to be qualified for the position of village chief. Nord is just helping him to support the scene That's all, using the title of Nord nobleman to frighten these villagers who have never met.

"Please forgive my ignorance. I have never heard of Fort Isaac. I don't know what you are looking for."

The face of Village Chief Joel was confused. The person in front of him claimed to be from Fort Isaac, but from the direction they came from, there was no Fort Isaac at all. There was only one to the north of Bligh Village. Castle, if it wasn't for the elegant and decent temperament of the adult in front of him, he would have thought that this man was a lunatic.

"That's right, it's Fort Isaac, but it wasn't called that way before. It was just changed two days ago. You used to call it Fort Christen."

Although Scholar Hill's tone was very slow, it sounded like a thunderbolt in the ears of Village Chief Joel, directly shaking his heart. Village Chief Joel was in a daze for a while, but Scholar Hill just smiled and said nothing. It left a buffer for Village Chief Joel.

After a long time, Village Chief Joel gradually calmed down. There was a wry smile on his face, and the look of disbelief in his eyes had not completely subsided. Looking at the smiling Scholar Hill, he said slowly.
