Chapter 700 699. Prenatal education per capita

the other side.

   Riku and Stone are walking down the streets of Nigga.

   It is a street, but it is just a muddy road. There is a lot of humidity in the forest. The ground is mostly wet, mixed with cow dung, human excrement, and all kinds of unimaginable dirty things.

  Stone covered his nose. He looked at the people on the street. Most of them were yellow-faced and skinny. They didn’t seem to have enough to eat, and they were severely malnourished. They all had deep dark circles under their eyes.

   What is more concerning is the eyes of these people.

  Some people, although ragged, can't hide the brilliance of ambition in their eyes, but most people in Sunset Town have numb eyes, just like nothing can cause waves in their hearts.

  Except for some children who don’t know how hard life is, from residents to soldiers, everyone seems to have completely lost hope in life, and now they are just living like a walking corpse, waiting for the end of the day to come.

   "There is simply not enough manpower to build a gray tower here."

   Stone said.

   The fields ahead are not fertile, they are forcibly cultivated, and the plants planted in them are not plentiful, and they are barely subsistence.

  Lu Bian has seen some documentaries before, which will show the scenes of some of the most remote and difficult mountain villages in the country. At this moment, Niigu Town is not much better than those.

   "Indeed, it is estimated that there are less than 1,000 people here. Per capita prenatal education, even if you have the strength to work, you can't understand the drawings, and you can't do fine work."

   Lu Bian muttered to himself.

"Moreover, to build the gray tower, it is not just about building one building. The gray tower represents the magic net, the magic system of the entire night kingdom. It is more important than the physical tower or the academic tower. ."

But Lu Bian also knew very well that even if Jost was the founder of the Grey Tower, he had countless talents and inspirations, but now this young man is just a poor man with few years to live, living in a tragic era. In a dilapidated town, and there may be a magic tide at any time, how to accomplish such a great cause in such a difficult environment, Lu Bian is not very clear.

   "Let's go look in the fields."

   Stone pointed to the field ahead.

   As he walked, he spoke.

"I didn't expect to see Mr. Drizzt again. This situation, you know, makes me feel amazing. He saw me now, I saw him in the past, and some things seem to change. , or maybe it can’t be changed at all.”

  Stone is a remorseful person who always reminisces about the past, remorseful, and tied his hands.

   "He will probably be very relieved, because you have inherited his career and everything after all, become the Chosen One, and walk on the path he once walked."

   Lu Kizuna replied.

  Stone stopped, he looked at Lu Bian, but Lu Bian didn't wait for him, he just continued forward.

Stone followed, and he saw that the crops in the farmland were not growing well. Due to the polluted water source, these plants were growing in a distorted state. It was difficult to imagine what the result would be. .

  The field continues inward, is the lush black forest, the edge of the field is surrounded by fences, but these wooden guys will only be vulnerable when the real monsters arrive.

   "What do we do now?"

   Stone looked at Lukan.

   This situation is really bad.

Stone imagined some scenes in the novel, which are roughly a group of residents who didn't know anything before. Under the protagonist's generosity and deeds, he gradually awakened his will, supported the protagonist to build the city, and finally resisted the foreign enemy. Invasion, but that's just fiction, Stone felt that even if he used some extraordinary powers, the townspeople here would not be able to take on the heavy responsibility of resisting the tide, both psychologically and physically.

   He turned his head and found that Lu Bian had disappeared for some time.

   After searching for a while, he found that Lu Bian was talking to a farmer.

   "The recent harvest is not very good, how are you going to spend the winter."

   Lu Kizuna asked.

   "I don't know, just live it like this, every day you can live is counted as a day."

   The peasant replied in a low voice.

   "What if a monster comes to attack?"

   Lu Kizuna asked again.

   "Monster monsters don't know."

   The peasant hesitated for a moment, and he answered.

   "What do you think if we can build some buildings to resist the monsters, are you willing to help?"

   Lu Kizuna asked.

   "Impossible, those things can't be stopped, it's terrifying, there's no way."

  The peasant shook his head, picked up the farm tools again, and continued to weed.

   Seeing that the other party was no longer willing to talk to him, Lu Bian was also interested in not continuing to ask.

   In this closed place, it is indeed difficult to rely on the townspeople to resist the magic tide.

   "Let's go back first, maybe Mr. Drizzt will have something to gain."

  Stone came over. He and Lu Bian walked towards the baron's mansion. As soon as they returned to the town, they saw a group of people.

   That team was obviously a regular army compared to the guards of Niigata Town. They rode on horses, had armor on their bodies, and had superb weapons. Lu Bian couldn't help but sighed that there were such serious soldiers in the Kingdom of Night in this era.

The man headed by    was wearing red armor, and he rode towards the baron's house with a look of contempt.

   Meanwhile, someone shouted in the cavalry.

   "The Duke needs to build a bedroom. According to the regulations, Sunset Town needs to provide a hundred young and middle-aged people. Everyone in the town gathers at the entrance of the Baron's Mansion and repeats it."

   "Bedroom?"

   Lu Bian felt that something was wrong when he heard these words.

Sunset Town is so hard, and those well-dressed knights still have to arrest people here to do hard labor, and it is not even a fortification to defend against monsters, but a bedroom, it really makes people wonder if the heads of these nobles have already been polluted. Thoroughly corroded.

"and many more."

  Lu Kian spoke to the man in the red armor.

   "Are you here to help guard this place?"

   Since most of the townspeople are taciturn, Lu Bian's words were clearly conveyed to the man's ears, and he glanced at Lu Bian.

   "I don't know where the traders came from?"

   The man turned the horse's head.

   "I haven't seen you, where did you come from? According to the order of the Duke, I have the right to levy toll tax on you."

   He said in a stern tone as if he had seen something that could be wiped away. At the same time, he raised the whip in his hand, as if he would be beaten with that thing if Lu Tian refused to accept it.

   "So you're not here to help?"

   Lu Kizuna asked innocently.

   "Stop nonsense, idiot!"

  The knight in red armor saw Lu Bian with a confused look, and swung his whip towards him.

   But the next moment, the whip was empty.

   I saw Lu Kand deftly dodged the opponent's whip and looked at Stone and the others.

   "You all saw that he did it first."
