Raft Survival: Fished a mermaid at the beginning

Chapter 251 What a Beautiful Land!

The travelers looked at the approaching knight in fear, and retreated one after another.

Xiao Yang stood at the head of the team, his gaze fell on the leading knight.

The knight came to Xiao Yang, suddenly got off his horse and knelt down on one knee.

"Lord Xiao Yang, our master is waiting for you in the castle."

Xiao Yang nodded slightly, and led everyone into the castle.

The banquet was arranged in the castle, and Duke Ted was instructing the servants to arrange the seats.

Seeing Xiao Yang leading the team arrive, Duke Ted, who was wearing the duke's long black dress, hastily put one hand behind his back, slightly nodded his chin, and gave a noble salute.

"Respected Lord Xiao Yang, your visit is too fast, and I have no time to prepare."

Xiao Yang waved his hand, "There is no need to be so grand, we are all our own."

Ted smiled, "I have received your message. They can all live in my territory, and I will ensure their safety."

Listening to the conversation between Xiao Yang and Ted, the faces of the travelers changed again.

They could tell that Duke Ted was polite and gentle, and had a very good relationship with Xiao Yang.

Everyone looked at each other, and they all saw the element of peace of mind in their eyes.

After everyone enjoyed a sumptuous lunch, Duke Ted took everyone to check the accommodation.

Next to the town not far from the castle, a row of brand new three-story buildings are being renovated.

Workers are also busy installing water pipes and electrical wiring.

Ted raised his hand, pointed forward, and introduced: "You can check in at night."

Xiao Yang nodded slightly, showing appreciation.

The decoration in this world naturally has no formaldehyde, so there is no need to wait.

That is to replace some carpets, bedding and furniture.

But these small projects also reflect Duke Ted's attention.

Xiao Yang's favorability towards Ted has increased a lot.

The townspeople watched the visitors curiously.

Ted said: "They are very reliable, they are family members of the soldiers, and they will not leak any information."

Xiao Yang scanned the crowd and saw that most of them were women and old people.

These people's eyes were still wary, and they didn't know why Duke Ted arranged for strangers to live in the town.

The residents here trust each other because their son and son-in-law are dead brothers.

Ted seemed to see Xiao Yang's worry.

"Don't worry, I guarantee they will like it here."

Xiao Yang nodded slightly, and didn't say anything else, he still believed in Duke Ted's ability to handle affairs.

Ted's personal guard cavalry sent a special team to be responsible for the safety of the Farstriders.

Duke Ted also promised in public that he would let travelers live and work in peace and contentment and treat this place as their second home.

At this time, the seriousness on everyone's faces gradually disappeared, revealing expressions of relief.

Some children even ran happily into the fields, chasing butterflies.

Looking at the cheerful figures of the children, the adults also showed long-lost smiles.

During this period of time, when many people thought of leaving the fortress and drifting on the sea, their fear grew day by day.

They could not sleep at night, moaning and sighing.

Many people are haggard a lot.

But at this moment, everyone showed a relaxed and relieved smile.

Xiao Yang breathed out, knowing that the matter had finally come to an end.

Sometimes, some people are destined to only be together for a period of time, and separation is the doomed ending.

Everyone has their own destiny and mission.

Xiao Yang naturally has his own destiny.

He can't stop himself for some people.

Regardless, the fort has evolved into a pure war machine.

As long as you win the war against the Principality of Howard and take down the other two world bosses, you can leave this sea area and go to a more advanced sea area.

A brand new world is about to unfold in front of you.

At this moment, on the green field, there was a breeze mixed with the fresh air of seedlings, Xiao Yang felt his heart was open, and he also showed a gratified smile.

Duke Ted came to Xiao Yang's side and invited him to sit aside for a private talk.

Xiao Yang and Duke Ted traveled along the clear stream to its source.

From time to time, red carps jump up and down in the creek, which is full of vitality.

"What a beautiful land!" Xiao Yang sighed.

Duke Ted was deeply moved, "That's right, this land has gone through more than a dozen dynasties, and the residents have changed from batch to batch."

"Passed down to my grandfather, this place is still a barren and barren land."

"My grandfather worked so hard to develop agriculture and bring the land back to life."

"Many people who were displaced by the war came to this land to live and work in peace and contentment."

"Slowly, this place is also thriving."

"This land produces [-]% of the grain of the entire Harrington Principality, and it is an important granary for the Principality."

"I don't want decades of hard work to be destroyed by war, so I choose to join you."

"I think you have the best hope of ending all wars and bringing peace to everyone!"

Duke Ted revealed the thoughts in his heart, his eyes flashed with deep light.

Xiao Yang looked at the sparkling stream, and gave a wry smile.

"Peace is not so easy, but war is close at hand."

"I can't promise you anything, but I will try my best."

Xiao Yang said something lightly.

Duke Ted was overjoyed. He clenched his fists tightly, and he seemed to relax a lot.

"That's enough... that's enough!"

He muttered to himself.

Xiao Yang chatted with Duke Ted all the way, and finally rejected his idea of ​​sending troops to participate in the war.

It's not that Xiao Yang looks down on Duke Ted's soldiers, but he needs them to do some intelligence work.

Duke Ted was familiar with this and revealed his secret spy network to Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang wasn't surprised at all, after all, if these princes didn't have some sources of information, they probably wouldn't know what happened if they were assassinated.

Time flies, and it is already sunset.

Xiao Yang chatted with Duke Ted all the way, and got a better understanding of this middle-aged man.

Xiao Yang discovered that Ted had hidden valleys in his heart, but he was unwilling to reveal them easily, just because he did not want to lead everyone on a dangerous path.

After all, since ancient times, countless princes coveted the power of the country and launched riots, but they all failed in the end. Even if they succeeded, countless people would sacrifice their lives. Ted's desire for power is far less important than his value for life.

Ted is a smart man. He knows that the current King Harrington will definitely support the Duke of Howard, and even send troops to start a war against Xiao Yang.

For this, Ted can only express his apology.

Xiao Yang didn't care about it.

He patted Duke Ted on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, I can understand."

"Since your king is not reliable, then I will choose a reliable one to replace him!"

"However, the price is that you must collect the full attribute potion formula for me."

Duke Ted couldn't help but tremble when he heard these words.

When night fell, Xiao Yang came to the town to bid farewell to everyone.

The travelers looked at Xiao Yang silently, with gratitude in their eyes.

They know very well that this kind of idyllic life is what they yearn for most.
