Knight of the Light

(I feel that it has not been updated, and trouble reloading from Chapter 238)

Bringing luggage, riding a horse, and wearing a hooded robe, Zhou Qingfeng set out from Harmony Village in a low-key manner. He was only followed by Seth, who looked like a knight in the world with his sword.

Go through the forest walkway controlled by the goblin before the lonely horseshoe headed south. When the dense trees were gradually replaced by the smooth hills, it was announced that Zhou Qingfeng had come to a new world.

But far and near is still a hazy gray world, silent and tedious. Although there are no monsters screaming day and night, there is no danger of swamps and no vitality and hope.

Zhou Qingfeng has been hoping to escape the Black Forest since he came to another world. But when he was walking out of that terrible forest, he was facing a completely strange world. The road is bumpy, and the wild is lonely.

This is completely different from the imaginary 'escape', it is more like fleeing into an unknown territory. Zhou Qingfeng had no idea what he was going to face, and he was uncomfortable everywhere.

"Master, it's not as good as our Harmony Village outside." Seth rode on a mule, like Don Quixote's servant Sanqiu, following Zhou Qingfeng's war horse. "Look at this hill, it's all felled, it's ugly."

People in other worlds mostly use wood as fuel. But there is no sun in the north, and the vegetation almost stops growing. Wood is a non-renewable resource and cannot be recovered once it is felled.

"For the sake of burning wood, the people in Coldwind City have been cutting here for 50 years. According to them, the Black Forest will be chopped up sooner or later." Seth's fingers swept through the continuous hills, and a large amount of logging remained. Wooden stakes bare the ground.

The suffering of the other world is vividly manifested in logging.

Chillwind City survives by cutting down timber and digging mineral deposits to supply the south. Originally the local specialty in the Black Forest was also an important entry for the city, but now it is cut off by Zhou Qingfeng.

For fifty years in a row, the forest kept receding. It is very difficult to transport wood alone. Zhou Qingfeng saw several timber transport vehicles along the way, and the driver was thin like a monkey, and his numb eyes would not turn.

"Logging is a very hard job. The masters of Coldwind City want to take part of the proceeds of logging, and the Phils family who controls the Northland has to take most of the road cards. It is difficult for lumberjacks to feed themselves. "

Seth rarely talked about these in front of Zhou Qingfeng, but today he touched the scene and said endlessly, "Master, compared to those aristocratic vampires in the north, you are really kind. If not for you, many people would not live."

If it is in the past, the servant's heartfelt praise can make Zhou Qingfeng very happy. But the situation in front of him left him deeply lost. As more and more people rushed to Harmony Village, he knew that life outside the Black Forest was not easy.

However, the population that can be accommodated in the village has reached its limit. If it is not possible to open up a larger living space as soon as possible, conflicts and disasters will come without the gods to clean up, and the harmony village will be finished.

"Let's go, we have to hurry for a while." Zhou Qingfeng said.

According to the plan, Adrian was acting as an outpost and riding a fast horse as a leader. He will investigate the road and accommodation for the follow-up Zhou Qingfeng, and if there is any danger, he can give early warning.

The distance between the two sides is no more than ten kilometers, and they are connected by the "Holy Light".

Sofia controlled hundreds of invisible servants to swim around Zhou Qingfeng's wings and guards, both to expand the field of vision and explore the road and terrain. These will be drawn on the map of the information network.

As for the halfling, Kelly, she was just behind Zhou Qingfeng and just said ‘I ’m going to go’. I did n’t know where this energetic dark-day voter ran in the blink of an eye. Occasionally she would call ‘Holy Light’ and her position would be Hudong.

Out of the Black Forest, Zhou Qingfeng immediately recognized the importance of the road. The real world is well-trafficed and convenient to go everywhere. In the other world, there are few roads connecting the city. There may be several villages and towns providing accommodation and supplies along the way.

Whether it is pedestrians, business travelers, or the military, they must follow the existing road. You can't even drool off the road, and you can't raise supplies.

The ancient wars paid attention to guarding the city and customs, and they were very rigid. This was not without reason. Many war miracles have operations to climb mountains and mountains. Because this is difficult to achieve, it seems precious and enough to be recorded in history.

According to various sources, Zhou Qingfeng knew the approximate locations of the seventeen cities in the north and surrounding villages and towns. But this information is not enough to support a high-intensity military operation. A false walk will definitely make strangers blind.

The closest city to Zhou Qingfeng is Hanfengcheng, but his target is the Banshee Fortress that is hostile to Hanfengcheng. This is a human settlement with a population of only 30,000. It is already the largest city in the North.

After a long journey, I arrived in a small town by night. According to Adrian, this is a pretty good town, with taverns, accommodation, and merchants.

But when Zhou Qingfeng was riding a war horse on the muddy road in the town, "Hell, why are all towns like this?"

"Master, except for our Harmony Village, this place is like a ghost. Even Coldwind City is like this." Seth murmured behind, "the aborigines outside never pay attention to cleanliness."

At that time, Zhou Qingfeng carried out the 'New Life Campaign', forcibly promoted environmental sanitation, and severely drowned. At first no one understood him, but in just a few months, the people in Hexun Village had high eyes and were proud of the cleanliness of their village.

A clean living environment can greatly improve the quality of life and give people a strong psychological advantage. In front of this small town, a sparse road divides the town into left and right halves, and the town is full of low houses.

The village entrance stood with a few sad beggars, and stretched out his dirty hands to ask Zhou Qingfeng.

Seth was afraid of Zhou Qingfeng's mercy, and whispered quickly: "Master, don't give it. They will haunt you."

The population in the town is less than one thousand, and the townspeople are mostly numb. Walking on the street is as dull and slow as a dead body, which makes people look depressed. Walking towards the town, I saw a tavern sign shaking in the wind from a distance.

The sign was faded and dilapidated over the years, and the original appearance was not visible. Adrian reserved Zhou Qingfeng's room in the tavern and waited at the door of the tavern.

Just when the 'clown' saw Zhou Qingfeng appear on horseback, he said in an embarrassed way: "Lord Hugo, the accommodation conditions here are just a little bad."

"How bad?"

"I don't care. I'm used to dirty and smelly. But masters like you can't stand it. The stables in Hexie Village are cleaner than the rooms here."

Uncle Zhou's mouth was drawn. He actually wanted to be close to the people, experience life, and deal with the bottom of society. But to let him stay in the stables, it's better not to do camping.

Zhou Qingfeng was still hesitating whether he wanted to carry forward the fine tradition of ‘dumbness, frugality, and suffering.’ Seth behind him said to Adrian, “What is our master, how can he live in this kind of place?”

Zhou Qingfeng wanted to say ‘in fact, I do n’t have much identity’, and the opposite Adrian nodded again and again.

I inquired with the tavern owner. There is a widow in this town, young and good-looking. Maybe you can spend money to live in her house. I just don't know if it will affect your reputation. I dare not make a decision without permission. "

Zhou Qingfeng said, "You just have to make a decision. Why is Mao saying this? It sounds strange to me, what is it that affects my reputation?"

Seth rushed again: "Adrien, you don't know this way. How honorable are we Master Hugo? What if we do n’t spend money and ask a widow to serve? Is anyone still daring to talk nonsense? ?

Our subordinates should try our best to consider for the owner, and what if we need to carry it? In the future, there is no need to report such things, otherwise you will let the master answer you. He wants and can't say it, right? "

Adrian nodded again and again, saying that he really did not think about it, and did not take responsibility.

Stop, this is even more wrong.

Zhou Qingfeng was angry and said flatly, "Who do you think of me? I have a girlfriend and my relationship is very strong. Besides, we should be gentlemen when we go out. What is it to live in the widow's house? No Are you afraid of the mess in the pub room? "

After finishing talking, Dayi Zhou suddenly opened the door of the tavern, and decided to conduct a personal investigation tonight, go to the grassroots level, observe the public sentiment, and see how bad the tavern guest room in the other world is.

No investigation, no right to speak. In the style of seeking truth from facts, mingle with the people!

The man's eldest husband can't do those things.

You know how to avoid suspicion, you know?

Can't make people say things that catch the wind.

You should learn from me and see how I set an example.

In the tavern, less than three minutes

Uncle Zhou covered his nose and escaped with a look of shame. He patted Adrian on the shoulder. "You are too young and you know too much about the stables. How can the stables in our village be so bad? Besides, life is alive, so why stick to the bar.

The body is not afraid of oblique oblivion. It is enough to stop investigating such things. As a man, you must be happy. Avoid masochism. After all, I'm not without money, why should I embarrass myself? "

Zhou Qingfeng Rory talked a lot of nonsense, and finally lowered his voice and asked, "Where does that widow live? What is she like? Is it beautiful? It won't let me have nightmares at night. You must not tell Inissa about this today. Oh."
