"Mistress Witch, we are here to pay you a visit!”
After lunch, the elders of the village appeared in front of the small cottage of Campanulatus. When they heard that three nobles had come to their small village, these elders were a little uneasy. Nobles were never amiable people in the eyes of the commoners. Taxes, corvee, and conscription were the real reasons why nobles came to such a remote place!
Seeing the elders of the village all come to her door, Kikyo probably guessed their purpose. Even if they were witches, they were only useful civilians in front of the nobles. Although they exempted the witches from taxes and corvee, it did not mean that the witches did not resist their orders!
"Please come in, Elders."
"Sorry for disturbing you, Lady Witch!"
The old people filed in and saw Hui Tai Lang kneeling in the innermost part. That kind of oppression! Yes, the elders felt a sense of majesty from him! Just by sitting there, he exuded a strong sense of existence! This kind of feeling was definitely not something that ordinary people would have. Even Kikyo, who walked in last, was shocked by Hui Tai Lang's aura! She was like a completely different person from when she was eating just now!
"Why are you looking for me?"
Just by glancing at the elders, a few of them began to feel uneasy. However, it was only then that Hui Tai Lang realized that he was no longer the Clan Leader, and the person opposite him was not his former subordinate.
"Cough cough! If you have anything to say, please say it!"
He kept his aura in check. The people who had just entered gave Hui Tai Lang a strong sense of deja vu, causing him to subconsciously release his office aura. Now that he thought about it, the other party was probably only here to visit him and confirm his purpose of coming.
Although they had long known that Hui Tai Lang and the others were half-demons, this was the first time many of them had seen half-demons. However, they did not look down on him at all because they thought about what would happen if the descendants of the rulers were half-demons. With the lifespan of half-demons, it would be too easy for them to achieve great achievements that were difficult for humans to achieve in their lifetime!
"May I ask your name?"
The oldest old man was obviously the leader of this group. With the help of others, he walked shakily to Hui Tai Lang.
"Just call me Hui. Elders, please sit down.”
Therefore, the elders present began to sit down one after another. It was great that the other party seemed to be easy to talk to. At least, he would not offend the village just because of a sentence.
"Then, Gray Palace, I heard that you and your womenfolk traveled here. Do you have any requests for us and the village? We will try our best to meet your requirements.”
The elders looked at Hui Tai Lang nervously. For a small village like Maple Village that did not have any special characteristics, they could not afford to offend even a low-level noble. Moreover, Hui Tai Lang had just emitted such a powerful aura. It was impossible for him to be a small fry. A village like theirs might even cease to exist because of his words!
"Can you find me a bigger piece of empty land? Don't worry, I'll pay.”
After saying that, Hui Tai Lang took out a small piece of gold from his pocket and handed it to the old man.
"This is too valuable! Please rest assured, we will definitely prepare a good empty space for you!”
The elder who received the gold kept trembling. This small piece of gold was equivalent to almost three months of taxes in this village! This was the Warring States Period, one of the most taxing periods! It was just a change of space! They could even give up their own houses, let alone empty land!
After feeling Hui Tai Lang's kindness, the villagers looked at Hui Tai Lang differently. Being tall was the definition of Hui Tai Lang in their hearts. Not to mention living here, it would not be a problem for them to stay here for the rest of their lives!
That afternoon, or less than half an hour after the elders left, Hui Tai Lang received the news that the clearing was ready! It was not for nothing that money could make the world go round. Moreover, he had the identity of a noble.
"Gray Hall, please follow me!" The one who led the way was the son of one of the elders. If he could be seen as a servant by the nobles, it would be much better than working in a small place like this. His family might even be exempted from corvee and taxes! Not many young people who were unwilling to be ordinary could give up such an opportunity!
Kikyo's house wasn't far from the open space. It was only a five-minute walk. Hui Tai Lang looked at the surrounding environment and was very satisfied. There was a small stream flowing not far away. Moreover, the villagers had just cleared the grass and trees on the empty land and leveled the ground slightly. There were still a few youths holding farming tools waiting around. They were a one-stop service and definitely had to satisfy Hui Tai Lang.
"You can leave now. I'm very satisfied with this place! I'll give this to you!"
Hui Tai Lang threw a small knife to the young man who was leading the way. The young man did not care about the pain and rubbed his finger on the knife. Blood instantly flowed down the knife. However, he still bowed to Hui Tai Lang excitedly and thanked him. This was a good thing used by nobles! It must be passed down as a family heirloom!
The surrounding youths also gathered together to size up this small knife. This was probably the best " divine weapon " they had ever seen! Just like that, the group of people left noisily.
Hui Tai Lang turned his head and started to dig out things. As a true genius, he had dabbled in a wide range of subjects, including medicine, military (including command and combat), chemistry, physics, biology, sociology, cooking, painting, and so on. Although he was not very proficient in architecture, he still knew a little, yes, a little!
Now that his body had been strengthened by his demonic power, a two-story wooden house rose from the ground!
However, there was still a small interlude. Kikyo, who should have been affected by the demonic aura, rushed over. When she saw Hui Tai Lang who was building a house in various poses, she was instantly stunned. In less than an hour, a two-story wooden house appeared in front of her!
Of course, Hui Tai Lang also saw Kikyo, but he was building a house so he did not greet her. After all, he was going to move in tonight. If he disrupted his current rhythm, it would be difficult to find her again.
"Gray Hall, did you build that in an hour?”
"Ah! It's just a simple assembly. Do you want to go in and take a look?”
"No need. I still have to patrol the barrier around the village. I'll come again next time!”
"Yeah, I'm going to call those two lazy worms over to decorate the furniture!”
"Then I'll take my leave. Sorry for being rude."
Kikyo turned around and walked towards the forest. Hui Tai Lang looked at the back of this big loli and shook his head before walking towards Kikyo's small house.
This child probably doesn't know anything now, right?
