Chapter 1702 The Treasure Comes Naturally
Hundreds of years ago, the villagers of Red Oak Village rescued a young man who came in from outside. The young man was seriously injured when he came to Red Oak Village, and he was still carrying dozens of classics.
The villagers of Red Oak Village have always been simple and honest. Seeing that the young man was dying, they rescued him.
However, due to his serious injuries, the young man could not survive and eventually died in Red Oak Village.
As for the ancient books he brought, they were collected by Red Oak Village and kept in the ancestral hall as precious treasures.
After all, in this day and age, an ordinary book can be used as a family heirloom, not to mention the ancient books brought by the young man are extraordinary, each page is clearly treated specially .
The first page of each ancient book has the word "Di" on it. In recent years, some villagers in Red Oak Village who can read these ancient books have read these ancient books, but they have not learned anything from them.
I just feel that the content of these ancient books is like a book from heaven, and I don't know what kind of mess they are talking about.
The villagers of Hongxiangshu Village had to blame it as some esoteric knowledge, which most people could not understand, let alone learn and master. In this way, these ancient books have been kept in the ancestral hall of Hong Oak Village, and the years have passed. Just like that.
At this moment, if he hadn't seen the announcement from the head of the village, I'm afraid the village chief of Red Oak Village would not be able to remember the ancient books of the Earth Mother School in the ancestral hall.
After discovering that the Shalu Empire had paid huge sums of money to reward these ancient books of the Mother Earth School, the village chief of Red Oak Village was also moved.
After some heated debate, most of the villagers of Red Oak Village are still reluctant to leave the village that gave birth to them.
Moreover, the situation is definitely quite turbulent in various countries outside the country. Many villagers in Red Oak Village fled into the mountains because of the wars in various kingdoms outside, and finally settled in Red Oak Village and became villagers here.
Although they are reluctant to leave Red Oak Village with ancient books and go to the Shalu Empire, these villagers also hope to obtain some resources and wealth through these ancient books to improve the living conditions of their Red Oak Village. After all, they have lived too hard these years. .
Red Oak Village is located in the deep mountains. There are many powerful beasts and even some monsters around. However, many villagers in Red Oak live by hunting. Once they encounter these powerful beasts and monsters, they often never come back. .
But not hunting is not enough,
Because there is not much arable land around Red Oak Village, even if these lands can be cultivated, the land is quite barren, and there are not many crops at all, and it is not possible without hunting.
Every year, Red Oak Village loses one or two villagers due to hunting, and sometimes even several villagers are lost. It is conceivable how much harm hunting brings to the villagers of Red Oak Village.
If these ancient books of the Earth Mother School can really exchange for a lot of resources and wealth, the villagers of Red Oak Village can use these resources and wealth to arm themselves and Red Oak Village.
In the future, when hunting, you can reduce a lot of losses, and you can buy food and the like. If you can't find anything, you can use these food to tide over the difficulties.
Moreover, according to the announcement, the rewards offered by the Xia Lu Empire are very generous. Even ordinary ancient books of the Earth Mother School can be exchanged for dozens of gold coins or even more than a few hundred gold coins.
If it is the more precious ancient books of the Earth Mother School, I am afraid that it can be exchanged for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of gold coins. This amount of money is definitely an astronomical amount for the Red Oak Village, whose annual income is only a few gold coins.
It is possible to make all the villagers of Red Oak Village live a good life. Faced with such a huge temptation, how could the villagers of Red Oak Village not be moved. The villagers of Red Oak Village have lived too hard these years.
So after some intense discussions, the villagers of Red Oak Village decided to send some capable hunters to take these ancient books to the Shalu Empire in exchange for some resources and wealth.
However, for the sake of safety, these villagers will only bring about half of the ancient books of the Dimu School, and the other half will remain in Red Oak Village.
This is also a guarantee given by the villagers of Red Oak Village to the villagers who left here. If someone outside covets their ancient books, they can use the ancient books in the village as their support in the case of robbing them and killing them. , let himself save his life, lead these gangsters to Red Oak Village, and gather the strength of the entire village to kill them.
Of course, doing this is also to prevent the Shalu Empire from not fulfilling their promises, or if the resources given do not meet their psychological requirements, it can be regarded as a gift for themselves.
Of course, this so-called reserving one hand seems a little naive to those who are really strong, but this is also the limit of what the villagers of Red Oak Village can do.
Soon more than a dozen capable hunters in the village rushed outside with the ardent expectations of the villagers. They crossed the layers of mountains and rivers, and after several months of trekking, they finally left the mountains.
After inquiring outside, the dozen or so villagers were stunned to discover that there were no more kingdoms conquering the Mero Continent.
Now the huge Merro Continent has been completely divided by the four major empires, and there are only four major empires left in the entire continent, and they are in a peaceful situation where they are vigilant against each other and compete with each other.
Unlike when their ancestors entered the deep mountains many years ago, the various kingdoms continued to conquer, and everywhere was in chaos, and they might face extinction at any time.
At this moment, the Mero Continent has become unprecedentedly peaceful, and such a peaceful situation will obviously last for a long time. After all, the four major empires have just conquered various kingdoms and brought these kingdoms under their command. Now the four major empires have The forces are quite equal, and they are busy digesting the kingdoms that have been conquered in these years, and there is no time to start a war.
And the place where the dozen or so villagers walked out of the deep mountains happened to be within the territory of the Shalu Empire.
After some discussions, they did not hand over these ancient books to the nobles closest to the mountains, because they were worried that these nobles would hack their ancient books.
So they decided to go to those big cities, or even go directly to the capital of the Shalu Empire, and hand over these books to those big men in exchange for the resources and wealth they need.
So this group of people rushed towards the imperial capital of the Xialu Empire under the strange gazes of people. Today's Xialu Empire is more than several times larger than before, and it takes a long time to reach the imperial capital.
It took a few more months for the group to reach the capital of the Shalu Empire with difficulty.
