The bright night sky of Xinliu Valley is very fascinating.
People, some huge celestial bodies rubbed shoulders with this floating mountain, and that incomparable sense of oppression made the dark clouds in the sky of my spiritual sea overwhelming, and the waves in the golden sea were turbulent.Under the feet is the thick and soft fluffy green grass like the Yagui beast, not far away is a dark green forest, and then in the distance is the eight hundred miles of endless mountains, a meandering news flows out of the mountain, through this meadow, past the small village of the orcs in the distance, and there is smoke rising in the village.I didn't expect that just two fire bombs would blow up a cave that was only bigger than a football field, leaving an extra basin on the vast meadows of the Xinliu Valley, and Kalanso and I sat on the lawn at the top of the basin slope, looking at the orc village in the distance, and the orcs were cleaning up the copper ingots in the cave, and the aftermath of the explosion made those copper ingots all over the ground.In the sea of spirits, I felt a trace of uneasiness from the World Tree Life Seed that I had imprisoned in the ball of thunder and lightning, it was originally the doppelganger of the World Tree on the island in the middle of the circular valley in the Xinliu Valley, residing in my spiritual sea, perhaps because of this explosion, the seed of life that had been silent for a long time woke up again, and it was calling me gently.I entered my own spiritual sea and removed the thunder prison that was imprisoned on the seed of life.It told me in a spiritual mind that the World Tree in the Valley of the Willows was calling to me, eager to communicate with me.On the grass in the distance, several orcs drove a group of cattle and sheep to graze quietly, and from the small village of the orc tribe appeared a group of orcs with backpacks on their backs and pushing carts.These are the orcs who have been informed and have come to help us pick up the copper that was spilled in the cave.Karantso stood beside me, with one hand on his soft waist, and the other hand on his forehead, looking at the group of orcs from afar, frowning and saying to me, "There are still too few people in the village, hey, I suddenly have an idea!"
”I packed my bags, the parchment drawings had filled my magic medicine bag, I glanced up at her, and went about my business.Karantso said to me, "I think if I have time, I can go to the slave market or the slums of the imperial capital and rescue the orcs who are wandering in Grimm and living in despair!"
”The Xinliu Valley is a vast area, and there is only a small orc village of more than 100 people, which is really a little too deserted.It's just that orc slaves are not easy to sell, and the most hated thing about the orcs is those slave hunters, there will always be some orc powerhouses who travel all year round in various parts of the Roland Continent, every time they go to a place, the first thing is to inquire whether there is anyone selling orc slaves in the local area, if they find out, many slave traders will almost be severely retaliated against, and they will become very miserable.Rescuing orc slaves, every orc powerhouse who travels to various countries makes a living from this, and those slave traders are often their ATMs, even if there are no orc slave traders, sometimes they will be threatened by which orc powerhouses.So sometimes, asking the slave traders at the slave market if they were selling orc slaves was often seen as a provocation.I said to Karantso, "There is no need to go to the slave market, the wolf orcs cannot be sold openly, and if there is, they will only trade in the underground slave market, and the place will not accept strange guests."
However, you can find it in the slums of the imperial capital, and maybe some of the noble lords' private mines will have orc laborers!
”I reached out and pinched her sturdy thigh, and said to her with a smile: "You should have an orc who is as stupid as you is, in order to save his people, you can actually think of selling yourself?"
”Karantso gave me a fierce look and snorted as he met the group of orcs in the distance.I hurriedly shouted to her, "Don't go over there, we'll go to the round valley later!"
”The Minotaur clan can easily become the most popular people no matter where they are, they are honest and simple by nature, kind and upright.On the edge of a cliff on the side wall of the collapsed cave, the Minotaur Ruka and the orc warriors are digging a stone staircase that leads to the bottom of the valley.Leaving the Minotaur Ruka behind, I couldn't wait to meet the orc witch doctor Zewang, and set out on the path that led to the circular valley, Karantso strode ahead, her strong and compact body, which seemed very brisk when she ran, and her muscles rolled very rhythmically under the wheat-colored skin, and she ran like a jungle leopard.After thinking about the days of my leave, according to the standard time of the Green Emperor, it is now the third night of my leave, and there are two days left to depart from the Royal Academy of Magic's cross-dimensional training activities, if I want to return on time, I need to rush to the circular valley immediately to be able to meet the World Tree there.I was dressed roughly, looking at Karantso running in front of me, and gradually found that the distance between me and her was constantly being widened, she ran between the mountains and the wilderness in a very peculiar form, depressing the center of gravity of the body, leaning forward, every time she lifted her legs and stepped forward, she would try her best to stretch her body, sliding forward for a period of time when she was in the air, and when she fell to the ground, she would jump high with her bounce force.Probably because I had just angered Karantso by my frivolous tone, she deliberately turned the running rhythm to this way, making me run as hard as I could, still a line slower than her, and that frustration made me very uncomfortable.It's a shame to go on a long trail run with an orc warrior who can easily throw me three streets away.Seeing that she only had a small dot left in my field of vision, and had climbed to the top of the mountain beam in front of me, I sighed slightly, and released the magic sweep that was buried by countless scrolls from my magic waist bag, and then placed a magic crystal in the center of the core circle, activating the magic pattern circle on it, and suddenly the powerful floating circle made the magic sweep float.I leapt up, sat down on the soft leather seat, grabbed the rudder with both hands, and injected a dash of magic into the magic sweep, and a strong gust of wind surged up from the magic sweep, swooping me forward.There is nothing more comfortable than riding a magic sweep on the barren meadow, the powerful cyclone blows down the dense green grass like a cow's hair, forming a light green crater, facing the direction of Karantso's disappearance, full power, the energy indicator lights are all lit up, and a strong thrust blows the grass behind the grass into a flick of grass clippings, and the magic sweep is like an arrow off the string, shooting straight ahead.It is these dead world tree roots that connect all the mountains together, forming this strange and unique scenery in the reverse flow of time, and it is really this huge mountain that has completely dead the roots of the world tree, so there will be mountains and forests, grasslands, clear streams and wild springs, flowers, birds and beasts in these floating mountains.On the grassy slope, Karantso sat on a rock with a smile on his face, waiting for me quietly.She turned her head to look at the big rear, the endless barren meadows on the hillside, and the golden time in the distance against the current, bringing plenty of light to the floating mountain, but these lights were a little dim, and too far away would become gray.She was dressed in half-body leather armor, her delicate collarbones and rounded shoulders were all exposed, and she looked majestic with a two-handed sword on her back.The wind on the ridge of the mountain blew her hair in a mess, and she ran her hand through her loose hair, and suddenly her eyes widened, and she watched me ride a magic sweep, like a knight on a tall horse, with a smile on her face, like a light breeze, appeared in front of her, and then stopped beside her, leaned down, and extended an inviting hand to her.She smiled, that sweet smile was like a golden sunflower, she stretched out a somewhat rough hand and held my hand, with the pull of my hand, her body jumped on the magic sweep very flexibly, her palm was covered with a thick layer of calluses, scraping my palm a little itchy, I pulled my hand out of her palm, both hands held the helm of the magic sweep, and rushed down the hillside with Karantso.Heading towards the circular valley in the distance.In the distance, I saw a giant tree fall with a creaking sound, and finally let out a loud roar, raising up a cloud of dust, and some branches and leaves of the iron tree were mixed with the dust and scattered everywhere.Next to the huge stump stood four barbarian slaves, wearing only a pair of tight leather shorts, their skin was very white, and there were some totemic tattoos on their skin that made them look terrifying, but each of them did not have a left ear.They were tall and burly, and each barbarian had a pitch-black shackle on his feet, and originally there were handcuffs on his hands, but later it was found that these barbarians were very honest and had never had any riots, and in view of the good behavior of the barbarians, the handcuffs on their hands were later removed, after all, those things greatly affected their work.Two barbarians with a huge logging axe in their hands, and the other two with a logging saw, had a very clear division of labor, the barbarian with the logging axe would clear the thick arm branches, and the barbarian with the longsaw would cut off the thicker branches of the ironwood, which usually lasted one to two days due to the hardness of the ironwood.There were no orc overseers around these barbarians, but it seemed that they were accustomed to this kind of logging life, and even the branches with the thickness of their arms were carefully removed from the excess branches and leaves, and arranged into thin poles two meters long, and fifty thin poles were bundled into a large bundle, and all kinds of ironwood and wood of different thicknesses were stacked together, forming more than a dozen timber mountains in this lumber yard.It turned out that this mountain forest had already opened up this large lumber yard, and when Kalanso and I came to these barbarians by magic, they happened to shout trumpets and straighten up, and they sweated like rain, and their muscles were so strong that they could carry the logs that could only be enclosed by four men hand in hand, and return them to the largest stack of lumber.One of the leading barbarians glanced at Karantso with some fear, and seeing that she did not make any attempt to walk over, he raised his hand and motioned for the three barbarians to stop, and the four savages sat down on the stump beside them, and took out a clay pot as large as a water tank, and drank it in turn, and then took out a multigrain scone mixed with some sweet potatoes and munched on it.I looked amazed at the emptiness of the timber yard and asked Karantso, "There are only four people cutting wood here?"
”Karantso nodded unabashedly, pointed to the mountain of wood in front of us, and explained to me with a frown: "The problem now is overproduction, see those mountains of wood?"
On the underground side of the warehouse, there are five warehouses piled up, which are already moldy and must be disposed of as soon as possible. ”I didn't even know that I had accumulated so much wealth in this plane of Xinliu Valley, but I was just hoarding it.Once this timber is transported to the imperial capital, it will also be a huge fortune, so I nodded to Karantso and said, "I will solve it as soon as possible, it seems that it is necessary to rent a warehouse near the imperial capital airport!"
We can't move these ironwood logs into our basement as well. ”Karantso said to me, "I don't care what to do with the timber, but in short, you have to find a way to cross this mountain beam, and there is a lumberyard of indigo wood over there, and now the timber is piled up." ”I looked down and thought, "Then let these barbarians transport the timber of these logs out of the mountains, well, let me think about it, we can transport these timber to the site of the Pandawang goblin village, where a new supply transfer station will be formed."
As for the hoarded wood, I'll deal with it as soon as possible. ”I looked at the lumberyard in confusion, and I couldn't see a single orc on the logging ground, and then I asked Karantso, "Besides, don't you just let these barbarians cut trees here alone, and don't you worry that they will escape?"
”Karantso said to me nonchalantly: "The mountains and forests are only so big, where can they escape!"
In fact, they have become accustomed to this kind of work and then get food.We don't restrict them from running into the forest, but in the mountains there are small beasts, except for the birds, and they can't get enough food, so they will come back hungry and be whipped. ”Then she continued: "For the last two years we have been allocating them some work, no one has monitored them, we have only distributed their food according to their labor, according to the custom, so that they will be more efficient, and these barbarians do not seem to be very demanding, as long as they have enough to eat and a place to sleep, no one thinks of running away." ”At this time, I suddenly noticed that the woman sitting behind me on the magic sweep and holding me tightly not only managed the orc village in good order, but also managed the nearly 600 barbarian slaves here very well, I think she must have some knack, like she asked why.Karantso didn't hide anything from me, and told me a reason that shocked me: "Speaking of which, they prefer us orcs to cook food, those multigrain scones, and sometimes we offer them some raw jerky!"
”"I was speechless for a while, it was hard to imagine that anyone could think of raw jerky as a delicious food, these barbarians really have a bad taste!
Because I was in a hurry to see the World Tree, I didn't have time to go to the quarry to take a look, but I just stayed on the ridge at the outer pass of the circular valley, and glanced at the white at the foot of the mountain from afar.
Flower.
Flowers, piles of stone like huge city walls, watching hundreds of barbarians carrying stones on the quarry, a scene of dry work on the quarry site.Curious, I asked Karantso, "How did you subdue these short-tempered barbarians, who were as stubborn as a brute?"
”She smiled smugly at me, then held out a finger and said to me, "One word, that's hunger."
If you work, you will eat, and if you don't work, you will starve, in fact, these barbarians do not spare their physical strength, they only worry that they will not have enough to eat!
As long as they can eat three meals a day, they don't care too much about working hard, and they don't care if they are slaves, and we orcs, not only don't like to be slaves, but also don't treat them as slaves, they are a group of hard laborers in our eyes, as long as they work, there will be hard labor to eat!
”Never treat anyone as a slave!
This is worthy of my deep reflection, every race, every tribe, has its own dignity, has its own beliefs, has its own things that they want to protect and follow, they worship their ancestors, or believe in gods, they guard the continuation of their lives, they follow the laws of nature.The thought of them plundering male humans in the North, throwing them into the mines, plundering large quantities of food in the North for them to survive the long and harsh winters, perhaps these were just to survive, without which they would have frozen to death and starved to death in the ice and tundra.I waved my fist a little excitedly, and said to Karantso: "When I return to the imperial capital this time, I will go to buy a large amount of coarse wheat flour, which can provide black bread for these barbarians, don't always eat these multigrain cakes, and don't give them those sweet potatoes to eat, maybe we can make something of higher value, such as vermicelli and the like, now in the imperial capital, those vermicelli are delicacies on the table of the nobles, and it is a bit too wasteful to take these sweet potatoes for the barbarians to eat." ”Then I said, "And I can order some fatty pork leg bacon, well, I'll buy some meat that is easy to store, and I can occasionally give them a little bit of life, once or twice a month Oh, no, regularly, once a week give them some pork leg stew, these things have to be improved, but I have to wait until I come back from the Hierro plane" The circular valley is surrounded by cliffs, the only way into the mountain, and on the most dangerous pass, a mountain city was built, but unfortunately, this city still has a rudimentary form, I just laid the rock foundation, but unfortunately I couldn't find a master builder who was willing to help me build the city, and the construction of the mountain castle here was delayed.I don't want to build a stone wall, I want to build a mountain city, so the whole city has to have a very clear, very clear, functional plan, this is not a simple house, this thing must be done by a professional architect
