Chapter 167
Andrew doesn’t know what the Antorians think about the elves who love farming.
But according to the news sent by his lord from behind, the two saplings he dug back seemed to be something called World Tree saplings.
I heard... that is the treasure of the elves?
Andrew felt like he was in trouble, so he woke up!
When going back to get something in the future, he should first find out the forces on the opposite side. If he can beat them, take them. If he can't beat them, run away. This will save him from always worrying about the strength of the elves.
Fortunately, after careful analysis by the Antolia Think Tank, Andrew also had a certain understanding of the strength of the elves.
how to say?
Anyway, it won’t delay the Antorians from farming!
Although in people's stereotype, the tradition of the Antolians should be hunting in the wild.
But that is actually forced by the situation!
It’s not that the Antorians don’t want to farm, it’s just that they couldn’t farm in the past.
Before Leon came to power, the land in Antolia was extremely barren, and there was very little land available for cultivation. Even for those lands that could be cultivated, the annual food output was appalling.
However, with the operation of land consolidation and the improvement of soil properties, the awareness of farming that had been dormant in the hearts of the Antolian people for many years finally reawakened!
Therefore...
with the arrival of spring, not only the farmland of Antolia is filled with the figures of the people working there, but also the abandoned land south of the mountains!
Construction of the pass on the Bergoli Pass began, and the earth compactors began to roar.
The abandoned place that was originally rarely visited by people finally heard the noise of human beings again after thousands of years.
As one of the first pioneers to come to the abandoned land, Jervis was particularly excited.
The development of the southwest highlands has proven to all Antolians that those who are the first to eat crabs often achieve unexpected benefits.
Therefore, after the news of going to the abandoned land to explore was sent out, people responded naturally.
Of course, the requirement remains the same, those with Antolia household registration will be given priority.
It is not necessary to go door-to-door to create a household system for the people. Although this method can ensure the effective implementation of the plan for household registration, there is no doubt that in Antolia, where administrative manpower is extremely short, this is Unrealistic.
In this era, there is no surveillance and no fingerprints.
If someone really doesn't want to register, then Leon actually has no better way.
Therefore, the method implemented by Leon is very simple.
If you want to find a job or start farming, you must register your identity information.
And under similar conditions, priority will be given to those who registered earlier!
Jervis was very glad that he took the initiative to fill in the population information as soon as Leon decided to register it. Otherwise, he might not be the first batch of Antorians to come to the abandoned land!
Yes, as the first pioneers, coming to the abandoned land will indeed face great risks and challenges.
But what the residents are most worried about is not the risk, but the lack of opportunities to support their families!
This era is cruel.
Under the feudal fiefdom system, the vast majority of the population were just serfs attached to local lords. Antolia could give these people the opportunity to achieve a class jump, and they were naturally grateful.
What's more, what can you do without risk?
The Antolians are never afraid of hardships, and the perseverance in their bones allows them to survive the Year of the Jackdaw again and again!
And even if there is no longer the threat of plateau hounds, the Antorian boy's coming-of-age ceremony is to go hunting alone in the mountains and forests!
This has been a long-standing tradition in Antolia.
Of course there will be risks and there may be casualties, but this is precisely the guarantee that the Antolian people can fight well!
Therefore, when the notice recruiting the first batch of pioneers was posted in the city of Thorn Territory, Jervis immediately reported his name.
He was full of curiosity about everything in the abandoned land.
And this is probably the only town in the land of Antolia that is still brightly lit even in the middle of the night.
Because as the black fog gradually dissipated, more and more fluorescent grass appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Who says lighting has to have electricity?
Fluorescent grass that emits light at night is not only environmentally friendly;
In addition, this plant growing in the abandoned land has extremely strong vitality and can grow extremely vigorously with little care, so it has naturally become a substitute for candles.
Although the construction of the current pass has just begun, no one will doubt that this land has all the conditions to build a giant city.
Especially when the new batch of shadow manipulators were transported here by the mercenaries of Antolia, the scope of activities of the Antolian people suddenly doubled!
While the area of land available for farming has also expanded in proportion, more and more unique biological communities growing on this land have also appeared before the eyes of the Antolian people.
Monkey's tail with curly and furry leaves, stone fruit bushes that can grow wild fruits as hard as stones, and even honey thorns that secrete viscous liquid... Jervis has never seen these
before Strange creation.
However, while doing daily farming, like most Antorians, Jervis is obviously more concerned about the skeletons that pop out from the black mist at the edge from time to time.
Leon's prediction was not wrong.
After discovering traces of the elves, the Antolians finally became aware of another creature that existed on this land—skeletons!
Empty eye sockets, white ribs.
Jervis clearly remembers that when the first skeleton broke into this newly reclaimed farmland, people looked panicked as if they were facing an enemy.
Almost all the Antolian soldiers stationed on this land invariably assumed a fighting posture.
However...
the skeletons seemed to have no consciousness of their own, and had no interest in attacking the outsiders who appeared in front of them.
They were just wandering aimlessly on this land, like lost travelers, shuttling back and forth between farmlands.
Some returned to the black mist after a brief period of sluggishness.
Some stayed and wandered in the farmland until the remaining black mist on their bodies was gradually stripped away completely by the operation of the shadow manipulator, and then they fell straight to the ground, leaving only broken and decaying bones.
Gradually, people are no longer afraid.
If a skeleton accidentally steps on a newly planted crop, a brave farmer will pick it up.
But even so, for safety reasons, the pioneers who arrived at the abandoned land every night had to retreat to the Bergori Valley at the request of the Antolian soldiers.
And Andrew also reported everything that happened here truthfully and quietly waited for the order from the Thorn Territory.
