Lord of Hyranza

Selena was wearing a long starched and somewhat whitish linen dress, with her hair tied on top of her head, holding a sheepskin account book and following behind the old village chief.

At this time, she began to carefully check the number of sulfur mines. When passing by Suldak, Selina walked up to Suldak without any concealment. She was only half a head shorter than Suldak. Staring at him with a hint of tenderness, he stretched out his hand to touch the sleeve he tore when he fought the sand wolf, and there seemed to be countless words in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

Signa was still hiding in her skirt, the little girl lifted up Selena's skirt secretly, squatted between her legs and smiled sweetly at Suldak, that smile seemed to melt all the ice and snow in the world.

……

When everyone saw the wolf skins on the horses, they knew that the three young men had encountered sand wolves on the way.

According to Suldak's instructions, it is only said that a dozen sand wolves were hunted and killed by traps set on the way, and the heads of seventeen wolves were neatly placed on the stone table at the edge of the threshing field. Cooking these seventeen wolf skins by hand, he found a huge and thick wolf skin among these wolf skins, and the smile on his face became dignified.

The old village head walked up to those wolf heads and counted them one by one. He saw the wolf head of the Sand Wolf King at the very edge. He slowly sat beside the wolf head, and with his finger, the three scars on the face of the wolf head After stroking him a few times, he took out his pipe and sat there alone smoking a bag of cigarettes silently. Everyone in the village knew that the old village head's appearance meant that he was in a bad mood. At this time, no one Dare to go up to touch the mold.

There are three large stoves on the other side of the valley field. Usually, when the village kills sheep and drinks sheep soup, these three large pots are used to cook soup. Therefore, there is a wooden table next to the large pot. Fortunately, this table is relatively strong. , with the help of the villagers, all the wolf meat was piled on top.

At this time, everyone was waiting for the old village chief to share the wolf meat, but no one was willing to invite the old village chief over.

Natasha and Rita stood among a group of young women, looking at Suldak standing on the valley field from a distance. Little Peter wanted to break out of his mother's embrace, but was held by Natasha, and Sul Standing in front of the meat case, Dak waved to Rita and Natasha, and then went to ask the old village chief to distribute the wolf meat.

There are very few opportunities to eat meat in the village. The land here is barren, and the villagers who have more money can only raise a few chickens and ducks in their yards. As for the large animals, they are the property of the village, and these chickens and ducks are usually reluctant to eat. .

Throughout the year, the villagers of Woer Village would only stew a whole fat chicken on the night of the Harvest Festival, or they would have a good meal when the first heavy snow fell.

Suldak walked up to the old village head, and seeing that the tobacco in his pipe was about to burn out, the old village head finally had some fluctuations in his eyes, and he lifted the wolf king's lips again, but unfortunately the meat here was already stiff, and he couldn't see it. To the whole picture of this canine tooth.

The old village head sighed lightly: "When I was young, I also liked to hunt around with a hardwood bow on my back. At that time, the barren land was still full of seabuckthorn grass, which was far from being as desolate as it is now. A few friends and I rushed to hunt in autumn. , go hunting gray rock iguanas on the Gobi Desert, a gray rock iguana can be exchanged for a bag of wheat..."

Now it seems that a gray rock iguana can still be exchanged for a sack of wheat.

The old village chief pulled a bunch of white hair above the wolf king's eye sockets, and said to Suldak:

"You can see that the hair on its eyebrows has also become gray and white. That's right. When I was young, I saw this sand wolf kill another sand wolf in a duel with my own eyes, and this wound was drawn on its face. , At that time, we thought it would not live long, and several partners around us couldn't hold back for a while, and rushed up to pick up the corpse before it completely cooled down."

"...It was lying on the ground covered in blood. When we walked in, it suddenly stood up and knocked down four of its companions. The rest of them didn't know how they escaped. When we were hunting gray rock iguanas, we would bring the wolves back to that barren land. After so many years, we are all old, and we never thought that we could wait for the day when it will bestow its head."

The old village head closed his eyes, as if a believer was praying devoutly.

"Uncle Brett, everyone is waiting for you to divide the meat!" Suldak reminded from the side.

The old village chief calmed down his grief and sadness, took a deep breath, and said:

"Let's go, share the meat!"

He casually knocked the ashes out of the pipe, then stood up and said to Suldak: "Take out half of these wolf meat, cook them and dry them in the sun, and then take them back to the sulfur mine. I'll find someone to cut and cook them." Meat."

He pointed in the crowd, and the selected village women came out quickly. No one complained that they had to work after being selected by the old village head. The old village head gave them eight wolves and asked them to take all the wolf meat. They were all made into dried bacon, and there were eight ordinary sand wolves left. The old village head found another group of village women, and asked them to cut up the wolf meat with bones, and divide the meat later...

Pointing to the last wolf king's body, the old village chief said to Suldak: "Don't share the remaining meat of this wolf king. After you keep a part, it will be of great benefit to your body. The rest Wolf king meat can also be sold in Hailansa City, this kind of powerful monster meat will not be much cheaper than salamander."

Suldak thought of the underground market in Hailansa City. The mage should call the Sand Wolf King who doesn't like the earth system.

Seeing such a large pile of sand wolf meat, Suldak touched his nose in distress, and said to the old village chief: "There is no need to sell it. Since we have started hoarding sulfur mines, we should divide up the meat." , I heard that wolf meat is sour and hard, and it won't be cooked even if it is boiled."

The old village chief smiled noncommittally, and said, "That's right, but it also depends on who is cooking!"

After finishing speaking, he turned to Selena who had completed the account and said, "Selena... you are in charge of the stew, the village will have a good meal tonight."

Serena raised her noble and swan-like snow-white neck, her big piercing eyes fell on the old village chief, and she readily agreed, "Understood, Uncle Brett!"

She bent down and smelled the smell of wolf meat before turning around to do some preparations.

The old village head stood in front of the meat case, splitting a wolf leg with an axe, and explained to Suldak how to store sand wolf meat: "This kind of sand wolf meat is cured with salt and hung on the fireplace In the flue on the top, it can be stored until this time next year, and when you want to eat meat, you can take a piece out, and this kind of smoked wolf meat is also unique to this area of ​​​​Pagros Mountain.”

It turned out to be smoked!Suldak thought as he helped the old village chief break off a wolf's hind leg.

The speed of the old village chief's work is not ordinary efficiency. He handed the first wolf leg to an old man who was over half a century old, and said loudly in his ear: "Take it home and don't rush to eat it. Leave it until the door is closed by heavy snow in winter, bake a piece of wheat cake, slice a piece of smoked wolf meat, and you won’t feel hungry all day…”

After the old village chief said this, he looked around the crowd again, and shouted loudly to the young people who gathered in the outer circle: "Rita, Natasha, what are you doing hiding behind, come to the front quickly!" Take the meat..."

When distributing supplies in the village, they are basically sorted according to the status of the village, so as to prevent the disadvantaged groups from getting the meat first and being hated instead.

When Rita and Natasha heard the old village chief's shout, they were startled at first, and then they confirmed that the old village chief was calling themselves, and then they walked out of the crowd. Surdak.

The old village chief didn't cut the ordinary sand wolf meat, he patted the wolf king beside him, and said to Rita and Natasha, "This wolf king meat belongs to you..."

Chapter 266

The villagers of the whole village gathered in the valley field of the village one after another, and the eight sand wolves on the meat table were disassembled one after another. The old village head distributed the wolf meat according to the different situations of each family, and the scene began to be a little chaotic. Then the old village chief yelled a few times, and kicked a lazy man who was cursing and wanted to take more wolf meat to the ground. He hardly needed to say anything, and the chaotic scene suddenly became orderly.

In many cases, what can hold up order is often the fist.

Selena brought two village women to the side of the meat table with a large wooden basin on their shoulders, put all the large pieces of shaved wolf bones into the wooden basin, cleaned them briefly, and poured them all into the large iron pot In the picture, the sun-dried reeds in the tidal flats are burned under the big iron pot, and two village women are specially responsible for lighting the fire.

There are few trees around Wall Village, so firewood is especially precious.

In the village, a fire is fired to cook rice, except for the wheat stalks, there are only dried reeds and red thatch.

Selina's swaying figure stands out among the village women. The men in the village can't help but glance at her bulging breasts and round buttocks. She seems to have long been used to being sneaked by the villagers. Watching, completely ignoring the eyes with strange emotions from those hidden places, she led the village women to cook broth as usual. The village women all know that Selina's cooking skills are superb, and they want to have a delicious meal The broth, at least for the time being, must work together.

Since Selena became the clerk in charge of accounting in the village, her life has undergone some obvious changes.

At least the villagers who tried to take advantage of her or profit from her before were almost gone.

There is no such thing as a ruffian who suddenly rushed out of the road, stopped her, took out a piece of baked wheat cake with a sour smell of sweat from his arms, and wanted to go to her house for a sit-down.

There are also no voyeurs who lie outside the base of the wall at dusk and sneak into her house.

……

Her life changed at the moment when she mustered up the courage to kneel by the stream with a wooden basin to wipe Suldak's back.

Although I still have to endure the disgusting gazes of some village women, and when I turn around, there will still be people pointing behind me, but it was the same before.

After she was branded as an 'unlucky person', she was gradually alienated by the women in the village, and she was used to living alone with Signa.

In her most difficult time, she also thought about taking warm toasted wheat cakes from those villagers, and then... just as if she was bitten by a dog.

But every time in the end, I still survived with difficulty.

Although the land in Wall Village is barren and the villagers are impoverished, no one has starved to death in the village.

The wrinkled old village head will always help out in the most difficult times, and then... the difficult life will continue.

It's just that when he walks, his back will appear more hunched.

Life was completely changed the day the man in front of him appeared at the head of the village on a Gu Bolai horse.

I remember that at dusk that day, she was standing on the way home with water, and Signa was squatting on the side of the road digging a sweetroot grass. The afterglow of the setting sun dissipated the heat, and the people in the village flocked to the entrance of the village. Everyone was saying that a knight came out of Wall Village, and not long after that, he took back the Beigou Grassland for the village.

Now Beigou Ranch is raising a group of fat and strong yellow sheep. Around the harvest festival, one-third of the yellow sheep will be transported to Hailansa City for sale. The village can still store a batch of winter storage materials. But looking at the situation this year, maybe there is no need to sell the gazelle in the Beigou pasture.

……

Rita and Natasha were worrying about what to do to move the wolf king meat, which was as big as a bull, back home.

The old village head distributed the whole sand wolf king to the old Xila family. The red wolf meat basically didn’t have much fat on it, and the internal organs were removed after peeling. The weight of this wolf king was nearly [-] pounds. Such a large wolf The meat was too heavy for them. Seeing that Rita and Natasha didn't know what to do, Suldak ran over to help. He took out an ax and split the sternum, and then split the Sand Wolf King in two. Then remove the front and back legs separately, and separate the spine from the wolf ribs, so that each piece of meat can be put into a large wooden basin.

Seeing that Suldak returned safely, Rita and Natasha seemed very happy. Rita was very curious about the process of Suldak hunting sand wolves on the limestone Gobi, but Suldak simply said two things. In a word, I just said that I met a group of wolves in the mountains, so I designed a trap and lured these sand wolves here. The hunting luck this time was very good, and I even killed a wolf king Yunyun.

Looking at the marks left by the battle on Suldak, Rita and Natasha knew very well in their hearts that the process of hunting sand wolves must be very thrilling. If it is as simple as Suldak said, the people in the mountains The wolves have been wiped out by the villagers long ago, and they will never stay until now.

Seventeen wolf skins and seventeen wolf heads belonged to Suldak, and these were the greatest value of this hunt.

I didn't expect that the idea of ​​preparing wolf fur mattresses for old Sheila would be realized so quickly, but each of these wolf skins is like a hard board with long hairs, and when you knock on it with your knuckles, it will make a 'dang dang' sound. If you want to become soft fur that feels like skin, you have to send it to the old village head's house for cooking.

As for those wolf heads, Suldak was going to take out the most valuable magic core and seal it up with quicklime. These sand wolf heads were good sacrifices.

In addition to the magic core in the Sand Wolf King's skull, Suldak also found two additional magic cores, but Suldak could feel that there was no magic crystal in this magic core. The villagers had never seen this thing before. Seeing that Suerdak had used a dagger to dig out two dark stones from the sand wolf's skull, the villagers standing on the sidelines were very curious.

Only the old village chief knew that this thing was very precious. He squeezed in from the crowd, reached out and picked up the two magic cores as big as walnuts, his fingers suddenly became trembling, and he asked Suldak: " This is the most precious thing in the body of the monster... the magic core?"

Suldak closed the hand of the old village chief holding the magic core, let him hold the two magic cores tightly, and said casually: "This is the magic core, but they are not precious. Such a magic core is in the sea. The value of Lansa City is about [-] silver, which is far less valuable than this wolf fur and this wolf head. Don't gamble on luck. There are probably no magic crystals in the magic core of low-level monsters. Only the magic core produced by second-level monsters It is the real magic core!"

As he spoke, he threw away the magic core that was picked out from the wolf king's skull.

The panting of the villagers on the side became rapid, and they all discussed:

"Fifty silver coins? I can't earn that much money in the first half of the year..."

"That's what the magic core looks like!"

While everyone was discussing, Rita, who was picking the wolf king's leg bones on the meat table, suddenly let out a soft cry, and then she shouted at Suldak: "Suldak, come and see Look... this wolf has words on its leg bones!"

Chapter 267 Gifts

It was a spirit bone with life magic patterns, and there was still a trace of wolf meat hanging on it. An extremely obvious knife mark was almost rubbed against the dark red magic patterns, but the spirit bone still had a rich earth-type magic aura , Countless earth-type magic powers converge in the magic pattern to form large and small magic vortexes, just like a gurgling stream flowing endlessly on the runes of the spirit bones.

Suldak couldn't understand the magic runes on the leg bones, but he had seen black-striped devil skins on countless evil spirits. These two things are actually not the same in the field of magic. Black-striped devil skins are evil. The imprints on the body of ghosts after they have advanced are just like the dark lines on the face of barbarians when their strength increases. They are the manifestation of their advanced strength and identity.

However, the magic bone is a rarer magic material, which has a wide range of applications in the magic field.

The biggest difference between this life pattern and the magic rune boards in the magic market is that it is a product created by nature. If it is placed in a suitable environment, its service life is almost the end of the lifespan of the Sand Wolf King. Almost every spirit bone has the natural advantage of low mana consumption, which makes the price of life magic pattern spirit bones nearly ten times higher than that of magic rune plates in the Grimm Empire magic market.

Of course, not every Warcraft can conceive manifested life-like magic-weave spirit bones, and the probability of giving birth to magic-weave spirit bones among junior monsters is pitifully low, such as magic antelope, Tim fish, sand wolf, etc. The chance of a junior monster being able to give birth to a magic spirit bone is even less than one in a thousand.

And many times they are ignored by predators.For example, the leg bone of the Sand Wolf King. If Rita hadn't planned to remove the leg meat to take away because the wolf king's hind legs were too heavy, and happened to scrape the leg bone while removing the meat, even if Rita If the meat-cutting knife goes in a little deeper, the spirit bone of the magic pattern of life will be completely scrapped.

Suldak didn't know the spiritual bone with the magic pattern of life. He only knew that it was no different from the black patterned magic skin on the evil spirit. He could also feel a lot of magic breath on this bone, and he could also feel it Saw some weird bloody runes.

Suldak also chose to clean up the wolf meat on the leg bone, and then found a piece of oil paper to wrap the leg bone, and prepared to take it to Hailansa's magic market another day.

It was also the first time for the villagers in Wall Village to see such a leg bone engraved with strange runes, but they didn't understand the value of the magic pattern spirit bone. There could be seals, but then everyone's attention was diverted by something more unusual, that is, the two longest fangs in the mouths of these sand wolves.

There are four sharp canines in the mouth of each sand wolf. The two canines on an adult sand wolf are about three inches long when they grow. If they are removed and a hardwood handle is placed at the root of the tooth, it can It is a short bone dagger without a forehead guard. This kind of wolf-toothed dagger can't be burned on fire and can't be used as a small table knife for cutting meat, but it is a very practical dagger. The biggest feature is that it has a very strong Piercing power, and can easily cut through three layers of raw cowhide.

Suldak harvested seventeen wolf heads of sand wolves. The villagers knew that these wolf heads belonged to Suldak. These villagers have been poor for so many years. Everything is measured by money. They knew that these wolf heads belonged to Suldak. The value lies in the fact that he has no idea about Langya.

Rita and Natasha put the disassembled wolf meat into bags, and then hung it on the hooks on both sides of the saddle of the Guberai horse. Go home, Suldak stays, and uses quicklime to process these sand wolf skulls. These sand wolf skulls are the best material for sacrifices. He doesn't want to take out a sand wolf at the next sacrificial ceremony. The head is like carrying a jar of stinky tofu with the lid knocked over.

Suldak couldn't help complaining in his heart, if he sacrificed such a wolf head, maybe it would be a curse...

An older child was squatting next to the meat case with his hands folded on his knees, looking at Surdak eagerly. His eyes were narrowed into a line, there were a few brown freckles on his face, a fleshy nose, and his mouth was wide open when he laughed. He can grow very big, and Suldak had some impression of him at the entrance of the village. Everyone called him Benny.

He is 16 years old this year, and it is said that he will attend a coming-of-age ceremony in autumn, and his parents are not planning to let him get married, but are planning to send him to the army to serve in the military. The girl with the dowry is willing to marry.Suldak felt that the recruitment system of the entire people of the Green Empire was the biggest problem restricting the population.

"Benny, how are you getting ready for the coming-of-age ceremony?"

Suldak wore leather gloves, wrapped the wolf's head with some quicklime powder, and then wrapped it tightly with linen cloth, then asked the big boy.

Benny saw that Suldak wanted to tie up the linen bales but couldn't do so, so he stood up to help with a wink.

"Well, of course, old Benny's going to give me a brand new pair of sheepskin booties," he said.

"Sounds good! Well, since you're going to be an adult soon, I don't have anything to give you..." Saying this, Suldak packed the linen cloth into a magic pocket, and took it from the table. He picked up another wolf's head, pried the wolf's mouth open with the dagger in his hand, and knocked off a wolf's tooth on the sand wolf.

After that, he shaved off the flesh and blood on it with a few knives, wiped it with a rag, wrapped it in this rag, and threw it to the dazed Benny.

"This is for you. Be careful, don't get cut by it. I heard it's poisonous. It shouldn't be difficult to press the handle on it, right?" Suldak smiled slightly and said to Benny.

"Is this for me?" The big boy hadn't recovered from the surprise at this time, and he still asked foolishly.

Then he immediately realized that he didn't have to question it at all, so he immediately replied: "Of course...it's not difficult! Wow, this is so cool, I actually have a mace dagger..."

"..."

Suldak didn't expect that a wolf tooth would make Benny so happy. He just took out a little thing, thinking that he should give some gifts to the older children attending the coming-of-age ceremony...

Later, Suldak found that Benny was holding the mace in his hand, and rushed into the crowd of friends like crazy, shouting excitedly, for fear that the whole village would not know.So the canine teeth of the four wolf heads were shaved off. Surdak didn't know that there were so many older children participating in the coming-of-age ceremony this year in Wall Village, which has less than a hundred households.

For the villagers of Wall Village, this gift is indeed a bit precious, and even the adults in the village are envious of the good luck of these older children.

Chapter 268 Misunderstanding

After the old village head divided the wolf meat, he found Surdak who had treated the wolf's head with quicklime and was about to sit down and rest for a while.

He took out an oily rag and wiped his hands. The sticky wolf blood was difficult to wipe off, so he simply threw the rag aside, sat across from Suldak and said, "You are so generous, take the wolf fang A dagger is given as a gift, and each of these children participating in the coming-of-age ceremony is actually given one..."

Suldak was sitting and resting under the shade of a chestnut tree by the side of the valley. Two older children came running over with a wooden basin full of water, and he also put his hand in it without any politeness. In the sink, I washed my face happily. Hearing the old village head's complaints, he raised his head and smiled, and waved to the two older children who stood aside. The older children seemed to have done something extraordinary. With a cheer, he poured the red blood in the wooden basin into the drainage ditch on the edge of the valley, and happily left with the wooden basin.

The corner of the old village chief's eyes twitched, thinking that he had such a high prestige in Wall Village that someone would take the initiative to fetch water for him to wash his hands. The charm of a mace dagger is really great enough.

Surdak smiled and said to the old village chief: "I just want them to have a better way to protect themselves. These children don't know how dangerous it is outside. Before being beaten in the cruel environment outside , You should try to arm yourself as much as possible."

The old village head pointed to a group of girls surrounded by a group of village women, stared at Suerdak seriously and asked: "What do those girls say? They don't need to serve in the army or go to the battlefield. The dagger was given to them?"

Seeing the questioning tone in the old village chief's tone, Suldak was a little confused. The old village chief is not such a harsh person, so he said to the old village chief according to his own thoughts: "Such things as gift giving, Everyone must be equal, and gender discrimination must not be allowed. Anyway, I am not going to sell these fangs. You see, if there are leftover fangs, you can also ask someone to make a fang dagger. It will be okay next year. Treat it as a gift and distribute it to the children who participated in the coming-of-age ceremony!"

After speaking, Suerdak took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to the old village head.

After the old village chief opened it, he found that there were dozens of sand wolf fangs inside. He glanced at the village women gathered in the valley field, patted Surdak on the shoulder, and said to him: " But the family members of those girls think that you must have taken a fancy to their daughters, that this is a dowry gift from you, and that you will offer to marry their daughters after the coming-of-age ceremony..."

Suldak was just about to take a sip of water, when he heard the old village chief say this, he was so frightened that he even dropped the wooden water cup to the ground.
