Warm Dragon

Catacombs are not underground caves, but caves under the ice cap.

There is a wide warm buffer zone between the warm land and the snowfield. The ice cap is about to melt but has not yet melted, leaving a large number of holes and secret passages.

Plants, microorganisms, and small animals struggle to survive in such an environment.

same.

There is also a group of humans who also live in such a difficult environment to escape the high pressure of the nobles in the warm land on the serfs.

After all, no matter how bad the environment in the cave is, at least he can still make ends meet.

In fact, Russell thinks that the cave is not bad. In his previous life, he used Douyin and watched the Eskimo documentary "Nanook of the North". Those earthlings with average physical fitness can still survive in the Arctic at dozens of degrees below zero.

Even a baby can crawl around naked in an igloo at more than ten degrees below zero, which shows the tenacity of life.

In comparison, the environment in the cave is much better.

Moss and mushrooms can be seen growing everywhere, and occasionally you can catch proteins such as snakes, rats, insects, and ants. As long as you work hard, you will definitely have enough food and clothing.

Moreover, Longmian Continent has extraordinary power, and many people can breed fighting spirit seeds to strengthen their physical fitness. Even humans who have not bred the seeds of fighting spirit are generally not too poor in physical fitness - those who are too poor will not be able to reproduce now.

As early as the ancient times when the snow demons invaded and the earth was frozen, almost all humans with poor physical health suffered from burps.

The humans who stayed and were able to reproduce to this day are all humans with excellent physical fitness.

"Howles, you proposed the underground trade market, so I will give you a choice." After Russell decided to build the underground trade market, he interviewed Howers. "If you stay in the underground cave village, The cave trade market will be left to you."

After a pause, Russell continued: "If you insist on moving to Market Village, then I will arrange a new job for you. Well, why don't you settle in Alfalfa Village? The Windmill Mill just needs an administrator, and I can give it to you."

Halls was lost in thought.

He was one of the few rangers in the Xiangshui River Caves. After Lone Wolf Lisbon was destroyed, he decisively turned to Russell.

As an activist second only to Katie and Catherine, he was appointed by Russell as the defense officer of the manor court.

I thought that I could win the support of the cave villagers with the appreciation of the lord, and be elected as the leader of the cave village. Unexpectedly, I lost to the ranger Druk in the election. This made him feel hurt, and at the same time he couldn't save his face.

That's why I made up my mind to leave Catacomb Village and move to Market Village. From then on, I would live in the sunshine and break away from my life in the Catacombs.

but.

Now Russell put two roads in front of him, but he was shaken.

The administrator of the windmill is definitely a high-quality position. After all, flour milling is an essential daily expense of the manor. Being an administrator is equivalent to getting an iron rice bowl.

Before, he would have chosen the windmill administrator without hesitation, but now he had the option of the underground trade market. Not only is he responsible for the trade in the caves around the Youguang River Valley, but he is also responsible for trade with free people from other places.

It can be seen with the naked eye that the development potential and job prospects of the crypt trading market are much greater than those of the windmill, and if it is done well, it is easier to be appreciated by Russell.

Being able to train as a ranger in the catacombs, Halls obviously has no shortage of enterprising spirit.

After thinking for a while, he nodded heavily: "Sir, I am willing to stay in the Catacombs Village and serve as the administrator of the Catacombs Trading Market."

"Okay, it's settled." Russell smiled slightly.

The reason why Halls was hired was not because Halls was familiar with the cave environment, but because he and Drucker, the chief of the cave village, were not very good at dealing with each other.

Out of a superior instinct, he didn't want Digutun to be monolithic.

After Howles was left behind, it happened that Howles formed his own faction; the wildcat sisters Katie and Catherine were in another faction; and the ranger Drucker was in another faction. Three insignificant factions can cut Dikutun into pieces.

If there are too many factions, there will be no backbone. The villagers of Category Tunnel can only be loyal to him as their lord.

Of course, this was not something Russell did deliberately, he just followed the trend.

Even if Lone Wolf Lisbon was alive, he could easily control the few hundred people in the Xiangshui River Caves, not to mention that Lone Wolf Lisbon was already dead.

…

A leader's words can cause his subordinates to run into trouble.

After Russell ordered the establishment of the underground trade market, he stopped paying attention and became a hands-off shopkeeper.

Charles and others were busy making preparations.

After all, Russell paid them real money, and after receiving the money, they had to work hard for the lord.

He himself carried a fishing rod and went to the bank of Youguang River, found a place that seemed like a good place to catch fish, made a nest and caught fish.

When the sun was about to set over the mountain, he swayed back to the manor courtyard with the fish basket in his hand.

"Master, how was your catch today?" Leona, the maid, was cleaning the living room. After seeing Russell, she greeted with a smile.

Russell shook the fish basket in his hand: "Not bad, two rabbits and one pheasant."

Then he sighed with emotion: "The game on both sides of the Youguang River is still very rich. It seems that we can go fishing often in the future."

After saying that, he handed the fish basket to the manservant Fox who came over and went upstairs.

When Russell disappeared around the corner of the stairs, Leona couldn't help but complain: "Fox, can you catch rabbits and pheasants by fishing?"

"I don't know." Fox, an honest manservant, responded seriously, "But if it's the master, then there's no problem. The dragon is watching, the master is always omnipotent, and nothing is strange."

"Are you serious?" Leona asked.

"Yes."

"Okay, you win, Fox." Leona shook her head and smiled, losing interest in continuing to chat with Fox.

In her mind, the best speaker in the entire manor villa is undoubtedly the handsome master.

The second one may be Ram, the master's personal manservant. After all, Ram often follows the master and learns a little bit of style. But it's just a little bit. Compared with the master's natural dirty talk, Ram can only parrot.

"Unfortunately, the master is like the moon in the sky... and I am just a small grain of sand by the river. All the small grain of sand can touch is the reflection of the moon."

There is a floor-to-ceiling mirror in the living room. Leona walked to the mirror and took a look at herself in the mirror.

Beautiful looks, tall figure, and round buttocks that she was reluctant to mention but always proud of.

"If I was born in a noble family..."

Leona didn't look at herself in the mirror for long before she forced herself to stop thinking. A maid shouldn't have such thoughts.

So she quickly left the mirror, fearing that if she was a little slower, she would be discovered by Butler Morris.

At that time, she would inevitably be scolded by Butler Morris again.

However, Leona's worries were unnecessary. At this time, Butler Morris was in the elf room on the second floor, reporting the situation of the elf worm to Russell seriously.

"Master, that's it. After you went fishing, I came to take a look at the elf worms and found that this fluorescent mushroom worm was always crawling around restlessly, without stopping for a moment... It has been crawling for a whole afternoon."

Russell stretched out his fingers and stroked the crawling elf worm. Through the vague telepathy of the contract, he could feel that it was anxious.

Normal fairy bugs, although they can crawl around, prefer to lie lazily most of the time.

Anyway, their nutrition comes from the Cordyceps from the earth.

They don't need to eat, and chewing jade powder is more for a little appetite and to maintain their vitality during the transfer of Cordyceps.

"Don't worry, little guy, everything will be fine." Russell comforted the mushroom bug and told Butler Morris, "Send someone to notify my squire Jack and ask him to check the Cordyceps of the first fluorescent mushroom to see if there is any abnormality."

"I'll arrange someone right away, sir." Morris hurried downstairs.
