Douluo's Gourd

[Zhangtou Small Theater · The Controversy of Heirs 3 · The End of Grudges]

[The huge bloody sharp claws wiped out the light and rain in the sky, tore apart the vicious white tiger phantom, and broke through the golden light of the protective body. Finally, the tiger claws stopped in front of Davis' forehead.

"...I lost, Dai Mubai." Davis was knocked out of the spirit possession state, pale and collapsed on the ground: "Do it, you have been waiting for this day for a long time."

The huge statue of the evil-eyed white tiger king lay lazily on his stomach, his eyes made of rubies fixed on his brothers in the field.

The pillars of the town stood around and watched.

They are the witnesses and the initiators of the inheritance.

When there is only one person left on the spot, they will start the inheritance formation, and concentrate the blood and spiritual power of the dying person on the victor, so as to stimulate the power of the Evil-eyed White Tiger Sacred King hidden in the blood.

But Dai Mubai glanced at the high-ranking crowd, withdrew from the spirit possession, turned around and walked down the mountain without looking back.

Davis, who was still very free and easy just now, suddenly turned ugly, and snarled at Dai Mubai's back: "Why stop! Are you insulting me?"

Dai Mubai stopped, "I'm not interested in the throne, and even if I don't absorb your soul power, I can still break this so-called holy king's curse."

As he spoke, he glanced at his nominal father, the supreme ruler of the Star Luo Empire, the White Tiger Emperor who sat high in the hall.This is the third meeting between them since he was born.

"I came here on request just to tell others that at the same level, you are not my opponent."

The townspeople looked at each other silently, pretending not to see the stiff face of the White Tiger Emperor beside him, and watched the future heir to the throne leave.

"Dai Mubai's talent is extraordinary, he is quite capable of founding the ancestors of the country, but no one can withstand the pain of the power and soul power dissipating when the bloodline is awakened, he will take the initiative to come back to start the ceremony. 』]

--------------------------

early morning.

The spring rain fell unhurriedly, the hair-like rain fell from the sky, as if covering Tiandou City with a layer of transparent tulle, like an ancient giant beast lying on the ground.

Suddenly, the city gate opened, and a group of galloping cavalry roared towards the outside of the city. Passers-by outside the city waiting in line to open the gate hurriedly dodged aside the splashing puddles.

after an hour.

This team of 15 cavalrymen took a carriage to an extremely remote hillside more than 20 kilometers outside the city.

Wang Xiaofeng got off the carriage, and the cavalry behind him also got off their horses one after another, dodged to the surroundings, vaguely protecting Wang Xiaofeng and a big fat man.

Wang Xiaofeng looked at the rotten and narrow dirt road under his feet and the surrounding weeds taller than people, and asked the fat man, "Is this my territory?"

The big fat man's name is Pu Dehua, he is a branch nobleman of a big family, and he is a little transparent in the land planning department of Tiandou City.

If it weren't for this large-scale reward of land, he might still be drinking tea comfortably in the office, why would he follow Wang Xiaofeng to this corner to enjoy the wind and rain.

Pu Dehua slanted his neck and held the oiled paper umbrella, spread out the dusty map with his hands, and looked carefully with his small eyes narrowed into a slit: "No, no, this is still under the jurisdiction of Tiandou City, but here There is no way."

As he spoke, he pointed to the mountain in front of him and said, "Go through the weeds and climb over this mountain, and you will be able to see the Viscount's territory."

Wang Xiaofeng's face suddenly became strange, "But I saw on the map that there is a road here? Why is there no road?"

"Ahem..." Pu Dehua said with some embarrassment: "After all, this is the vicinity of Tiandou City, and the surrounding valuable land has long been selected away, so the territorial planning of Tiandou City you have seen The map hasn't been updated in over a hundred years."

"I didn't expect there to be such twists and turns inside. No wonder the people in your department looked at me so strangely when I chose this land." Wang Xiaofeng comforted himself, stroking his forehead helplessly.

"Forget it, it's all here, let's take a look first, and then sell this land when we are short of money.

However, does anyone actually live around here? "

Pu Dehua was taken aback when he heard about it: "There should be no one living around here."

Then, following the direction Wang Xiaofeng was looking at, he saw the curling smoke rising from the foot of the mountain not far from the side of the mountain.

"That's interesting." Wang Xiaofeng smiled, and said to Pu Dehua, "Let's go and see what my future neighbor is like."

The crowd left the carriage and horses by the roadside, and left two guards, while the rest of the knights took turns cutting down the weeds in front, and marched towards the direction where the cooking smoke rose.

Pu Dehua is not wrong, there is no road here, and the lush weeds made everyone walk for more than 20 minutes before reaching the destination.

This is a small village with about a dozen houses. The village is basically two-storey low wooden buildings and tile-roofed houses scattered here and there.

It is no different from most villages in the empire.

With unfamiliar faces and armor and weapons, Wang Xiaofeng and his party quickly aroused the vigilance of the villagers.

A shout came from the house closest to everyone: "Don't come out."

After a while of flying around, a black and thin man in linen clothes and coir raincoat carefully walked out of the house, stood by the fence of his yard and asked, "What are you here for?"

"I haven't asked you yet, but you asked us instead." Pu Dehua gave him a disgusted look, and said, "There is no village marked on the map, nor is there any registered population, I would like to Ask where you came from."

The knights took a step forward, the sound of armor rubbing heavily hit the man's heart, the oppressive air oppressed him almost speechless, "I, I..."

"My lords, don't embarrass Clev, he is just an honest farmer." Suddenly an old man opened the simple fence gate in the yard more than ten meters away, and said to everyone: "It's still raining outside, adults still Come to my house first to shelter from the rain."

"You old man..." Pu Dehua was about to swear a few words, but Wang Xiaofeng nodded his head lightly from the corner of his eye, and his voice changed, "You are quite nice, then we will not be polite."

The old man's house is not big, so except for the two knights who entered the house together with Wang Xiaofeng and Pu Dehua, the rest of the knights just took shelter from the rain under the big tree in the yard, and kept an eye on the surroundings by the way.

The old man poured a cup of hot water for several people.

Pu Dehua looked down at the dusty cup, and had no intention of touching it at all, "Old man, what's going on with this village and you people."

"Rebellion, famine... Everyone is fleeing from different places, such as Clive, he is from the far north, and I am from..."

The old man didn't answer the question, and talked a lot without logic. Generally speaking, my lord, we are all good citizens, we have never done anything bad, and we hope to give us a chance to survive.

After Wang Xiaofeng finished listening, he silently withdrew the spiritual power that enveloped the old man.

Netia's mind-reading innate ability, Wang Xiaofeng, has also been researched a lot, and he can barely simulate a superficial level with mental power.

The old man can only feel fear and fear, and the source of the fear comes from the two knights standing at the door, so the possibility of someone deliberately arranging it can be ruled out for the time being.

Wang Xiaofeng said: "I remember that my territory has a household registration quota."

Pu Dehua nodded and said: "Yes, according to your title and the location of the territory, the upper limit of the population of the territory is [-] households."

"Then register them under my name. After all, life is so difficult, there is no need to embarrass these poor people." Wang Xiaofeng drank the hot water in his hand.

"Ok."

Pu Dehua secretly lamented that this group of refugees was really lucky. You must know that in the laws of the empire, the status of refugees from other countries who fled to their own country is the same as slaves. They belong to the lowest class and are at the mercy of others. right.

But after being registered under Viscount Wang Xiaofeng's name, he ascended to heaven in one step, crossed several classes and became a commoner of the Heaven Dou Empire. If luck is better in the future and a soul master who can cultivate is born, it is not impossible to become a nobleman.

The old man's head was dizzy. He didn't expect that a big pie fell on him from the sky. At the same time, he also knew that the young man among the crowd was the one who was in charge. He summoned up his courage and asked, " My lord, why did you come here?"

"Crossing this mountain is my territory. I'm here to see what my territory looks like." Wang Xiaofeng picked up the coir raincoat hanging at the door and put it on his body, ready to leave.

"My lord, if you don't mind, let my son lead the way for you." The old man said, and shouted into the house: "Tutak, come out and meet our lord soon."

But after waiting for more than ten seconds, the old man, who couldn't bear it anymore, rushed into the corner room angrily, and dragged a skinny little child out.

Wang Xiaofeng quickly scanned it with his soul power, and found that the other party was just like a child, but his bone age was already an adult in his twenties.

As for why it is like this, it should be that he has eaten poorly since he was a child, and his body is not fully developed.

The old man warmly introduced Wang Xiaofeng: "My lord, don't look at my son's appearance, but he is indeed the only hunter in the village. He usually goes around the mountains and knows the surrounding terrain very well."

Tutak looked at his father, and added in a low voice: "...not only the only hunter in the village, but also the only carpenter."

Being a hunter and being malnourished is better than farming at home.

As if guessing what Wang Xiaofeng was thinking, Tutak defended himself in a low voice: "There are many soul beasts in the mountains, and I am not their match."

"It's okay, you don't need to do anything, they are here." Wang Xiaofeng pointed to the knights stationed on both sides, and smiled: "You know the surrounding terrain very well?"

Tutak nodded weakly.

"Then you can go with us." Wang Xiaofeng took out a silver soul coin from the soul tool and put it in his palm.

Tutak's pupils dilated slightly, he held the cold silver coin and said, "This is?"

Wang Xiaofeng held up three fingers: "This is the deposit for this employment fee. After the matter is completed, I will give you three more."

Before Tutak could show a surprised expression, the old man quickly took the silver soul coin from his hand on the pretext of keeping it for him.

After leaving the village, a group of people began to climb over the mountains. The old man really didn't brag, and Tutak really knew the surrounding area very well.

Although there was still light rain in the sky, everyone climbed the mountain much faster than before. They followed the animal path guided by Tutak, saving a lot of energy.

If one ignores those ten-year-old soul beasts that fainted due to Wang Xiaofeng's mental power.

Standing on the top of the hill and looking into the distance, Wang Xiaofeng realized why Flender chose this land.

Surrounded by mountains on three sides, with two rivers sandwiched between three mountains, it has a small basin in the middle.

It is indeed very suitable for the development of agriculture.

If you add that the one on the map does not exist, and it is a false road to deceive people, this place perfectly meets all Wang Xiaofeng's requirements.

Pu Dehua wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, took out a map from his pocket, and introduced it to Wang Xiaofeng: "This mountain is your territory, the next one belongs to Viscount Oscar, and this one belongs to Viscount Ma Hongjun, the scope of your territory With the river as the boundary, it is about this large..."

Wang Xiaofeng was thinking while listening.

The terrain here is complex, the transportation is inconvenient, and the space for economic development is severely limited.

If it's just your own territory, then just plant some high-value plants and raise some cattle and sheep to meet your needs.

But after adding Oscar's Ma Hongjun's territory, it would be a bit of a waste of such a large space to not do a lot of work.

So, first, set a small goal.

Launch a road that can connect to the outside world within three days.
