Time flies, three days have passed since the Buffer Zone war, and the castle has returned to its former calm state.
The guards began rigorous training again. Now the guards' training no longer needs to be supervised by Nalant, because Vivian and Quick have learned the training methods from Nalant.
Nalant himself spent more time cultivating Battle Qi, because through the battle with Dili, Nalant deeply felt the impact of level on combat power.
With the absorption of Flame Crystal, his cultivation became faster than ever before.
In the early morning, on the edge of the northern border between Storm Territory and Tulip Territory, a team of thirty or forty people was heading deep into Storm Territory.
There were no carriages or weapons in this group. They were all civilians or serfs carrying large and small baskets.
They are the citizens from Black Rock Territory.
Since the last time they bought low-priced salt and dried fish, the residents of Black Rock Territory have been obsessed with it.
Many people have also listened to Thomas's suggestion, and have been preparing for it for a long time these days.
Although Land of Misfortune is indeed dangerous, in the face of huge benefits, people are still willing to take the risk and give it a try.
As we go deeper and deeper into Land of Misfortune, people become more and more vigilant, as if Dark Creature will rush out of the woods on both sides of the road at any time.
This is not because they are timid, but because the reputation of Land of Misfortune is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Fortunately, the journey was uneventful. After more than an hour of trekking, everyone finally saw a castle standing on a cliff in the distance.
"We are finally here! I have heard that as long as you see the castle and continue forward for more than ten minutes, you can see the largest village in Land of Misfortune!" A young man of 17 or 18 years old said excitedly in front of the team.
"Shh! Keep your voice down, Kerr. There is a lord here now, and he will definitely not be happy for us to call this place Land of Misfortune. It should be called Storm Territory!" At this moment, a middle-aged man named Kerr walked past behind him and scolded him sternly.
"If the lord finds out about it then, even if the lord doesn't punish you but doesn't sell us salt, then this trip will be in vain!"
"Oh! Uncle Laurie, I understand!"
Hearing the scolding, Kerr immediately shrank his neck.
"Everyone, hurry up. When we arrive at the village, buy some salt and leave immediately!" The middle-aged man was satisfied and then greeted the team behind him.
Soon, the group speeded up, crossed the dirt road outside the castle, and arrived at the entrance of Wheat Leaf Village.
But after arriving at the entrance of Wheat Leaf Village, everyone was stunned.
"Uncle Laurie, isn't this street too neat?"
Standing outside Wheat Leaf Village, everyone was in disbelief. They had never seen such a clean street.
There is no feces or garbage on the streets, and there is no unpleasant smell that we are used to.
"We are just here to buy salt. Why do you care so much? Let's go in and take a look!"
Although it was early in the morning, there were already many early risers walking on the road ahead.
Laurie led everyone along, and suddenly saw an even more surprising scene. A large group of Wheat Leaf Village villagers were lining up in front of a stone house, as if there was something to receive in the stone house.
"Uncle Laurie, is that a place that sells breakfast? I didn't eat anything when I got up today, why don't we go over and have a look?"
They had prepared dry food, but after entering Storm Territory in the morning, they did not dare to stay longer to light a fire to prepare dry food, so they did not eat breakfast.
Now that he saw so many people queuing up here, he thought he had encountered some delicious food.
"Okay, then go over and take a look, and ask where you need to buy salt!" Laurie had no objection. It was their first time here and they didn't know who they needed to go to to buy salt.
Kerr was extremely happy after hearing this. He took out a few Copper Coin and quickly ran towards the stone house.
When he ran to the stone house, Kerr didn't dare to cause trouble and lined up honestly.
Because there were many people in front of us, Kerr planned to take advantage of this time to inquire about salt.
He reached out and gently patted the shoulder of the person in front of him. In front of him was a middle-aged man. After being patted, he turned his head to look at him in confusion.
Kerr knew that asking questions requires getting close first, so he said with a smile, "Uncle, come and have breakfast! Is this breakfast delicious? There are so many people waiting for it?"
"..." The uncle didn't answer, his face changed for a while, and finally he rolled his eyes and left the team.
Faced with the uncle's reaction, Kerr felt that the people here seemed unfriendly, well, at least Kerr thought so.
He felt that his tone was friendly enough, but instead of answering him, the uncle in front of him gave him a blank look.
"Why are Land of Misfortune people so unfriendly!" Kerr couldn't help scratching his head, but what Uncle Laurie told him must be completed, so he looked at the person in front of him again, this should be a young man.
So, Kerr patted the young man's shoulder again, and when he turned around, Kerr was still smiling, "Brother, what kind of breakfast is there? There are so many people lining up, I'm a little hungry!"
"..." The young man looked at Kerr with strange eyes, and finally walked away silently. But before walking away, he cast a look of pity and muttered, "How pitiful!"
"..." Kerr blinked innocently, thinking how pitiful I was, I just said I was hungry!
Kerr was a little unwilling to give up, and looked at the old man in front of him again, "The old man should have a better temper, and he will definitely answer my questions!"
Kerr raised his hand and patted the old man on the shoulder.
"Grandpa, I want to ask..."
"Young man, are you in a hurry? Then you go first! I'll wait!" However, this time, before Kerr could ask, the old man immediately gave up his seat.
Kerr was moved when he heard this. Just when he was about to explain that he was not in a hurry, the old man continued, "Okay, young man, someone is coming out in front. You go in first! There are people waiting behind you!" After saying that, the old man gave Kerr a gentle push.
Kerr was helpless when he heard this and said thank you. Finally he could only walk towards the inside of the stone house. He could just ask the breakfast shop owner inside about the salt later.
"Kerr, that kid is really good at it. He was at the front of the queue in no time!" The team in the distance couldn't help but praise Kerr when they saw that Kerr walked into the 'breakfast shop' so quickly.
"You better not go too far, kid. I think the two villagers just left seemed to have left directly. If you accidentally offend someone, this is their territory!" Laurie couldn't help but smile and shook his head. Seeing that the two villagers just now were not angry, he felt relieved.
"Hey! Kerr is out! There seems to be something wrong with his face!" Just as Laurie finished speaking, everyone suddenly saw Kerr walking out of the stone house. The look on his face was uglier than if he had lost ten Copper Coin.
"Did he not bring any money? No, I just saw him take it out just now!" Several people immediately curiously guessed the reason.
Soon, Kerr returned to the team.
"Kerr, what's going on? Didn't you buy breakfast?" Laurie thought something had happened and immediately asked with concern.
"This... that..." Kerr's face suddenly turned blue and white, and he didn't know how to explain it.
He had just happily stepped into the stone house and wanted to buy breakfast, but the moment he stepped into the stone house, he knew something was wrong because the taste was wrong...
Needless to say what happened next, Kerr was so breathless that he fainted on the spot, so he turned around and ran out as if he was running away.
At this moment, he finally understood why the uncle and young man in front of him looked at him with such strange eyes...
"Uncle Laurie... there... that's the toilet!" He hesitated for a long time. Seeing everyone's curiosity, Kerr had no choice but to confess.
"Toilet? What is a toilet? I've never heard of it!" Everyone was confused.
"It's XXX's place!" Kerr said.
"..." Black lines appeared on everyone's heads.
"Haha!"
"Haha!"
"Hahaha!"
After being speechless, he turned into a hearty laugh, and kept laughing until Kerr was ashamed.
"Kerr, are you telling the truth? Such a brand-new stone house actually has this function?" Laurie is still a little unbelievable. Seeing that almost all the houses in this village are made of wooden planks and thatched houses, only this large building is a stone house, and it is still brand-new. How could it be used for such a disgusting thing.
"Really, Uncle Laurie!" Kerr was about to cry without tears. He had been treated as a fool just now, and he even asked people what food in his house was so delicious...
"No wonder the streets here are so neat... It turns out that's the reason!" Laurie sighed. He was already in his forties and had traveled to many aristocratic territories, but he had never seen such an incredible thing.
