At the end of the road is the windmill, which was built to make it easier for villagers to come to the mill. As for whether this road will extend southward to connect to the inside of the windmill village, it is still uncertain, because the windmill village is still under construction and it is unknown where the land will be reclaimed in the future.
However, the houses in Windmill Village certainly won't be next to this windmill, otherwise it would be too noisy, and the villagers wouldn't be able to sleep well.
Leaving the windmill, the area to the south, near the Tingting Lake, is where the windmill village's workers' sheds now stand. That's where most of the people live today.
The two arrived there quickly. The environment was quite nice, with many houses of various sizes built on the flat ground, and the shade of several large trees next to the houses falling on the open space.
Roderick had chosen an excellent spot, and Ed couldn't help but praise him in his heart a few more times.
"Someone's coming."
Will, who was learning to read with Alice under the tree, noticed Ed approaching immediately and quickly got up and ran over.
"My lord, what brings you here?"
"Will, I came to check on the progress of land reclamation in Windmill Village and also to ask how your work is going?"
"My lord, let's talk under that tree over there. It's very comfortable there, and there's a table and chairs."
Will gestured for Ed and Adelaide to go under the tree over there.
So the three of them went to the tree, and Alice, who was waiting under the tree, quickly stood up.
Will quickly introduced, "My lord, this is Alice who visited the territory last time. She can read, so I asked her to teach some people who want to learn to read, including myself."
"Hmm, very good, Will." After saying that, Ed looked at the girl named Alice. Although the girl had her head slightly lowered, Ed could still make a general judgment.
She is a very beautiful girl, according to Ed.
"Hello, Alice, don't be too nervous. It's a wonderful thing to know how to read. Where did you learn to read before?"
Alice was a little scared at first, but she felt much better after hearing Ed speak, because she could tell from his voice that the lord was a very kind person.
So she mustered her courage and stole a glance at Ed, a very young lord. After seeing Ed's appearance, she felt even more that the lord was a kind person.
"My lord, I learned this in the Kingdom of Loser."
Ed was somewhat surprised. She actually came from the Kingdom of Lorther. How did she end up in that valley? It seemed no one had told her she was currently in the Kingdom of Lorther. He just didn't know exactly where in the Kingdom of Lorther she had been before.
Heh, Ed wasn't going to tell her where this place was either.
"Alice, where in the Kingdom of Lorther were you before?"
"My lord, I used to live in the capital of King Lorther."
Ed was even more surprised. He had never been there and had no idea what the King of Lorther was like.
"Alice, this is Miss Adelaide."
Just as Ed was about to ask a few more questions, Will's voice interrupted him. Since that was the case, he decided not to ask any more and would talk about it next time.
After their conversation with the lord, Alice's nervousness lessened considerably. She was no longer as tense as before, and coupled with Adelaide's beautiful appearance, it was hard not to feel comfortable around her. Therefore, she spoke a little louder.
"Hello, Miss Adelaide."
Actually, Adelaide was already used to how people addressed her; they could call her whatever they wanted without her objection.
"Hello, Alice, that's a very nice name. You can come visit me at the castle sometime."
Adelaide didn't know who was older between the two women, so she didn't let anyone call her "older sister."
"My lord, Miss Adelaide, please sit down."
Will quickly told everyone to sit down and talk, as standing was too tiring.
