Chapter 313: Really Smells Good

After all, if the two sides want to work together to build a new village, they must break down racial barriers and integrate together as soon as possible. Only in this way can they be able to use their power in one place.

But there is no such thing as simplicity in this kind of thing.

Gavin sighed and was the first to step forward.

The kobold cook who was holding the spoon to share the food quickly took out a large wooden bowl, filled it up, then placed a large piece of cake on it and handed it to Gavin.

Copperfield was only half a step behind Gavin and walked towards the hanging pot next to him.

With their leading role, many young soldiers naturally followed their lead.

The rest is easy, others just need to follow their lead and follow suit.

Most of the Tethyr refugees came forward on their own initiative, while a small number were more worried and hesitated around them.

Copperfield frowned, stood up, walked to a kobold cook and said, "Give me another one."

"Please use your own bowl of rice and add more after you finish." The kobold cook said seriously.

This is the rule Gavin set at the Black Well from the beginning. After receiving a new bowl, it belongs to each person. There is enough food, but it cannot be wasted. Eat more before eating.

It was for the convenience of kobold management.

Unexpectedly, after changing the kobold cook, it was also passed down as a traditional custom.

Since it can effectively eliminate waste, Gavin acquiesced.

The brainless kobold cook, even if he is not facing a kobold, he still executes this trick, even when Copperfield obviously has ulterior motives.

Gavin said from the side: "Give him a new bowl."

"Here." Although the kobold cook was not very smart, he still absolutely obeyed Gavin's order. He immediately filled a new bowl and handed it to Copperfield.

Copperfield carried the food, walked up to a man who was older than him, and said, "Mr. Leiber, please have a meal."

Lei Bai looked confused and hesitant: "But, this was done by kobolds..."

Copperfield said earnestly: "Mr. Leiber, you should know best the principle of doing as the Romans do when you are in the countryside. When we choose to abandon the refugee camp and follow Lord Gavin here, it means that we have to accept all the arrangements of the Lord.

Lord, he just took me to see these kobolds. He specially brought them here to build a new home for us.

If you refuse to eat the food they cook now, will you refuse the houses they build in the future?

Get rid of the prejudice in your mind and look at everything with a normal attitude. "

Copperfield's voice was not low, not so much for Leiber's ears, but for those Tethyr refugees who were reluctant to come to get their meals.

In Copperfield's view, this is not simply a matter of a meal, but also a matter of obedience.

At this time, Gavin also stood up, walked to a kobold cook, asked for the rice spoon in his hand, and said to Copperfield: "General, this is human nature, even if you are of the same race, you are a stranger." They are still wary of each other, let alone a strange alien race. Give them some time, and I will serve them the rest of the meal..."

A Tethyr refugee named Leibo bowed to Gavin and said, "The lord always thinks about us. If you are not willing to give even this little trust, how can we integrate into the new territory and new life."

With that said, he walked up to a kobold cook and said, "Bring me a bowl."

Not being smart also has its advantages, at least those kobolds don't have so many twists and turns in their bellies.

The kobold cook followed the order without hesitation, filled a bowl for Lei Bo and handed it over.

Lei Bai tasted it for the first time, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but said: "It smells so good."

With Leiber taking the lead, the others took the initiative to walk up without waiting for Copperfield to cast his eyes on them.

Extending one's head is a sword, and shrinking one's head is also a sword.

This meal must be eaten no matter what.

Because the nature has changed, it is a disguised expression of allegiance.

When the food comes into your mouth, it doesn't seem that hard to accept, because as Leiber just said, it's so fragrant.

All beginnings are hard.

Once this first step is taken, the rest will be much simpler.

If you can get rid of appearance bias, you will find that kobolds are a very likable race after long-term contact with them.

Their intelligence, which is one point lower than that of normal races, prevents them from cheating and cheating. They can work with self-discipline and hard work.

But it’s not like those with real intellectual disabilities, who are so stupid that they cannot seek help.

No one cares about hard-working and capable people.

Especially when you know that they are building a house for themselves.

Of course, it would be impossible to imagine them being completely integrated into each other during a meal.

Less than two hours after Copperfield and the others arrived, more than eighty women and children from the waterway also arrived.

Also coming with him were Darnell and three paladin apprentices.

Gavin asked them to protect them along the way.

This section of the waterway from Black Feather Bridge to Yewen Pond is considered to be at their doorstep and has a prestigious reputation.

With him in charge, all evil will be out of the way and flow unimpeded.

The two groups met, and Gavin moved the Tethyr refugee camp in the Battle Valley to the Land of Three Rivers.

From this moment on, they were no longer refugees, but immigrants to Tethyr, legal residents of the Land of Three Rivers.

The kobold camp and Tethyr camp are located on the top of the small mound, one in the south and the other in the north.

Most of the time there is no intersection, everyone is busy doing their own thing.

Only when eating, both parties gathered at the top of the small mound at the same time, and received their meals in silence throughout the process, without much communication.

Even if there is, it is limited to a few high-level leaders, who are discussing the construction of new villages.

After careful negotiation, most of the work in the construction of the new village was still left to the kobolds. On the Tessel immigration side, only a dozen construction personnel were allocated to assist.

The remaining Tethyr immigrants are engaged in things they are better at, such as opening up wasteland, fishing, etc.

Since Copperfield arranged for more than a dozen immigrants to specialize in fishing.

In the kobold stew pot, fish is stewed half the time every day.

This is the benefit of a vast land and sparsely populated areas. It is rich in wild resources, especially the silly fish in Yewen Pond. They are fat, big and plentiful. As soon as the hook is thrown, there are people biting the hook. It is common to catch fish by air. .

Compared to the strange relationship with the kobolds.

The relationship between the Tethyr immigrants and the halflings of Anbao Ship Village was fast and easy.

The natural ability of halflings to quickly integrate into other races is one aspect, and the presence of several halflings among the Tethyr immigrants is also key.

During the communication between the two parties, they inevitably talked about the new owner of this territory. During the exchange of information, they gained a deeper understanding of this half-elf.

After roughly arranging the Tethyr refugees, Gavin took Darnell, Copperfield and his party to Wezeme Manor.

The moment they entered Wezeme Manor, not to mention Copperfield and Seluer who were coming for the first time, even Darnell and the two Paladins who were returning to their old place couldn't help but shudder. .

Copperfield finally understood why Gavin said this place was unfit for habitation.

Even if the refugees are allowed to live here, no one dares to live here, and no one can sleep here. This is a veritable ghost manor.

Darnell looked at Gavin with a strange expression and said: "What have you done here? Why is the negative energy here heavier than before? If you didn't know better, you would have thought you had entered the shadow plane!"

"Because of this." Gavin snapped his fingers.

Mother and daughter Astaire and six drow earth-bound shadows appeared out of thin air at the same time.

Several paladins instinctively put their hands on their weapons. The female paladin Serul reacted the most violently and pulled out the sword directly.

If Gavin hadn't expected her to do this and took a step diagonally in front of her, she would have probably rushed out.

"Get out of the way, they are a group of ghosts, a group of evil existences that must be purified." Selul raised his sword eyebrows and scolded them coldly.

"Miss Serul, please calm down. It's not your turn to make the decision here. If you dare to do extreme behavior, don't blame me for driving you out of the manor." Gavin said seriously.

To him, this is a troubled girl.

If it weren't for Darnell, he would never have brought her to Wezemay Manor.

"How dare you..." Seluer's expression became more stern, and the long sword began to shine with bright holy light, and he rushed towards Estelle and the others.

boom!

Just after taking two steps, Seluer hit an invisible barrier and was bounced back.

The Manor Mystery Lock rises and repels it from the outside.

"Let me in. You are condoning evil. You are hiding evil. These are evil existences and should not be left here. This manor is also evil and must be burned." Selul struck hard. Cutting the locks only caused ripples, but could not damage them at all.

She is only a paladin apprentice now and has no ability to threaten the mythos, even the lowest level mythos.

Gavin couldn't help but sigh and said: "Mr. Darnell, I said before that we can't let Miss Seluer come with us. You see, it's troublesome now. I'm afraid she will bite the manor in the future. He won’t let go of me.”

There was also a trace of helplessness in Darnell's expression, "I heard from the teacher before that this new student's attitude towards the undead is quite extreme. I didn't expect it to be so extreme. I made a mistake in my judgment on this matter. It's just me." I didn’t expect that the situation here at the manor would be so serious..."

Dick couldn't help but add in a low voice beside him: "I heard that Miss Seluer's father was killed by the undead, so it's a bit extreme."

"For this reason, the most people take the path of the Paladin." Darnell couldn't help but sigh, "And such people are often the easiest to take the wrong path of the Paladin, and are succumbed to evil gods or more powerful evil spirits. Tempted by power, they became the Dark Guards, because from the beginning, they were not seeking justice and public welfare, but seeking revenge. "

Thinking of Seluer's future direction, Darnell's words today seem to be very appropriate to apply to her.

Astaire bowed and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Darnell, for embarrassing you. We don't want to do this either..."

Darnell waved his hand and said: "Madam, you don't need to apologize, because this matter itself is not your fault. I came here this time just to warn madam that you must keep your heart and don't be affected by your own negative emotions. This is what negative energy is best at. I don’t want to raise my war hammer against you one day.”

Estelle said solemnly: "I will strictly follow your instructions, and we will never let this happen."

"Hopefully!" Darnell couldn't hide the worry in his words. The problem is that many things are often not determined by personal will.

He had seen countless kind people being swallowed up by hatred, jealousy and other negative emotions, twisted into the most terrifying existence.

Even if he was unwilling, at that time, he had to raise the hammer in his hand.

Daniel pondered for a moment, made up his mind and said: "Mr. Gavin, I have a small request."

"Please speak." Gavin had a bad premonition in his heart.
