Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel

"Gina, how dare you neglect the Baron!"

When the village elder Harden came to the valley entrance, Li Wei was immediately and respectfully invited into Xiaoyunshan Village.

"Baron, please forgive me. Gina is too young, and she has been growing up in the village. She has never seen much of the world, and she has never seen a noble Baron like you.

Please don't punish her. Of course, if you don't mind, I am willing to accept the punishment on her behalf. "

"Grandpa Harden!"

"Shut up and apologize to the Baron!"

"Lord Baron, yes~ I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to offend you before."

Seeing the young girl Gina deflated, Levi didn't think anything. He didn't bother to argue too much with this little girl, but Yaqis beside him almost had gloating written all over his face.

[This kid Yaqis is really a young boy who hasn’t grown up yet. With this look, when will he be able to marry a wife? 】

Old Harden saw the girl squirming and looking very reluctant. He suddenly became angry and reached out to teach this ignorant girl a lesson.

Xiaoyunshan Village is indeed very remote. Since the establishment of the village more than 20 years ago, the noble lords above have no more presence in Xiaoyunshan Village except for appointing a few tax collectors to collect some taxes.

Even the few villagers from Xiaoyunshan Village who joined the nobles' private army took the initiative to approach the nobles above them and asked to join the private army after walking out of the mountains and dense forests.

So a young teenage girl doesn't understand what a nobleman, even the humblest baron, represents.

"You are the village chief Haden of Xiaoyunshan Village, right?"

Seeing Levi speak, Old Harden immediately turned around and replied respectfully: "Yes, Lord Baron."

Li Wei took a closer look at the village chief Harden, and then discovered that this little old man with an unattractive appearance was actually a fourth-level martial arts cultivator.

"This time I am bringing a large number of troops and need to be stationed in your Xiaoyunshan Village. I know you will be worried about food issues.

But as soon as I arrived, I had someone hide the food rations for people like me for at least a month and a half in a hidden cave in Xiaoyun Mountain.

Secondly, I brought a large amount of alchemical potions this time, which can be used to ripen grain and increase production after dilution. This potion can shorten the growth cycle of wheat to three-quarters of its original length, so don’t be afraid. Your land cannot support that many people. "

"Since Lord Baron said so, of course I believe it. Lord Baron, please come into the village with me!"

Li Wei and his party arrived at the outskirts of Xiaoyun Mountain at nine o'clock in the morning, but it was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon when they wandered into the village.

"This place is very good. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There are several passes and the roads are winding and complicated. It is difficult to get in without someone who is familiar with the road to lead the way."

"Thank you, Lord Baron, for your compliment. Apart from being safer, our place has no other advantages. Every time I want to go out to sell something in exchange for some coins to pay taxes, it is very difficult. Many young people in the village do not like the closed environment here. So I ran out to make a living.”

"Run out and make a living? Be a hunter in the Evernight Forest or join the kingdom's army?"

"There are people doing everything. The most promising ones are the three juniors who have reached the fourth level. One of them has joined Baron Beiluo's private army, one has joined Viscount Fuller's private army, and one is indeed in the Evernight Forest. He was a hunter, and it was he and several other powerful hunters who founded this famous hunter's house in our area!"

Yaqis on the side also interjected: "Boss, the first time I came to Xiaoyunshan Village was invited by Uncle Leminger. Uncle Leminger was the five original founders of the Yongye Forest Hunter House. One, Xiaoyunshan Village is his hometown."

Levi didn't care about Yaqis's interruption. The Hunter's House was just like this to Levi, but he couldn't help being shocked after hearing what the village chief Harden said.

Levi probed calmly: "Village Chief Harden, besides you and these three, are there any other extraordinary beings above level four in your village?"

"There is not much else. Except for the old man and me, there are not many people who want to guard this place. But the families of the three young people who went out to make a living are still in Xiaoyunshan Village. When they get old, they will come back to take over my class. ”

Hearing this, Li Wei felt that this place was definitely not simple. A small mountain village with a thousand people could actually produce four fourth-level experts. You know, according to the normal population ratio and the size of Xiaoyunshan Village, one fourth-level expert could be produced. Level is already considered to be full of luck!

"I think the villagers in the village have been practicing very hard. To be able to reach so many fourth levels, you, the village chief, must be a good example."

"Haha, Lord Baron is joking. In fact, I haven't done much. I just often warn the villagers that there are many wild beasts and magical beasts in the Evernight Forest. If you practice hard, you may be able to save your life one day."

"Village Chief Haden, you are too humble. By the way, I think this area of ​​Xiaoyun Mountain, not counting your village, is densely wooded and inaccessible. Do you often encounter monster attacks here?"

"It's strange to say that our place is no longer the outer area of ​​the Evernight Forest, but there are very few powerful magical beasts that appear near Xiaoyun Mountain. Generally, some ordinary beasts and low-level magical beasts appear nearby."

"Not bad, it seems that Yaqis really picked a good place for me."

Levi laughed, hiding the strangeness in his heart.

[There is definitely a big secret in Xiaoyunshan and Xiaoyunshan Village! Perhaps the villagers of Xiaoyunshan Village are not aware of this secret. They just moved here more than 20 years ago, and they are ordinary civilians who lack knowledge.

A thousand people can produce four fourth-level players. This is simply terrifying. When Black Mountain led more than 10,000 people, even if we include those fourth-level experts who went out, the total number is probably a little more than this number. .

And there are actually no high-level monsters in this place. When I first came to Yongye Forest, I bumped into more than one powerful monster in just a few days. What exactly is hidden in Xiaoyun Mountain? 】

When Li Wei and his party entered the village, the whole village was naturally alarmed.

Just kidding, six to seven hundred knights with one person and two horses or even one person with three horses can completely overwhelm this small village of only a thousand people.

Fortunately, when the first wave of Gina came back to ask for instructions from the village chief Haden, Harden immediately ordered the villagers to organize and cook a hot meal, otherwise the knights under Li Wei would have to eat dry food again.

"Lord Baron, we have limited conditions here, and we only have farm food that we can't sell. Please forgive me."

"Haha, Village Chief Harden has seen something different. When we march, we often can only eat dry food. A hot meal is much better than dry food."
