Now there are more than 800 people living in the underground cave near the altar, in addition to nearly a hundred strong orc warriors, most of them are the Yero natives who were accepted by the war on the Hiero plane, when their tribe was ambushed by the dark spider-men, if it wasn't for the fact that I took the orc warriors to rescue at that time, it would be difficult for those natives to take out the claws of the spider-people, and the natives who could migrate long distances with the large army were all gone, leaving only some serious injuries.Maybe two months is not a long time, but it is enough for these natives living in underground caves to heal quietly, the vast majority of natives have survived because of timely treatment, in addition to wasting a large number of hydrotherapy scrolls, the hemostatic bandages consumed are also dozens of boxes, no matter how superb the treatment methods are, the tenacity of the natives' own vitality, more than eighty percent of the natives who were seriously injured under the spider-man ambush survived.Kig watched the group of natives pass in front of us with a calm face, it seems that they have adapted to the life here, these natives like to live a comfortable life, for them, to have a shelter from the rain, every day to have wheat cakes and clear water, often go out to the depths of the cave to catch goblins, this comfortable life, for the natives of the Hiro plane, even in the underground world where the sun does not shine, it doesn't matter, after all, the Hiero plane is also shrouded in clouds all year round and it is difficult to see the sun.The only regret is to leave the lush black forest, the underground cave is finally missing the smell of pine oil in the forest, and I see some dense forests painted with white lime powder and red iron oxide powder on some walls, and those stone walls have towering ancient trees, dense bushes, glades, and intertwined ancient vines.In addition to the heavy manual labor of the goblins captured by the dwarf Bernd, the goblins not only have to dig copper ore in the cold underground caves, but also transform the newly opened mines into underground warehouses, and the new mines are very simple to make a waterproof layer around the stone wall, set up vents at the top of the cave walls, and install large iron doors in a suitable place, and a new underground warehouse is considered a successful construction.Kig kicked the hard steel rail with the heel of her boot, and every step she took would step on the sleeper accurately, making a soft thumping sound, it had been a long time since she had seen Kige's childish side, whether it was in the academy or in the Academy of Magic, the aura of the seventh prince and quasi-princess of the Green Empire made her have to be as cold as an iceberg.As we continued along the main road of the cave, Kig suddenly turned to me and asked, "That dwarf wants to build a subway here?"
”。
I know that Kig had traveled to the Dwarven Realm ten years ago with the Imperial Capital Dance Troupe, and that they had been in King Stan for a while, and that the dwarves who were born to be good craftsmen had penetrated all the tunnels under the dungeon and built a magic subway around King Stan City, and that she had described to me the kind of underground vehicles that blended with machinery and magic, but to get that minecart-like thing to move, it would take at least twenty strong dwarves to sit on it and press the pedals hard."
yes!"
I replied calmly.She knew that I had customized 30,000 light steel rails in the blacksmith workshop in the imperial capital, and she had probably heard me talk about the purpose of the rails, but she was a little unsure when she really saw the light steel rails laid in the cave.I crouched down and reached out to touch the cold rails, which were covered with even hammer marks.I looked into the depths of the black cave and said to her, "It won't be long before there will be a light railroad track all the way down to the orc village on the ground." ”Kige's eyes were like the two brightest stars in the night sky, and his face was shining with porcelain white.She asked me, "Do you want to follow the example of those stupid dwarves and find dozens of slaves to pedal scooters around the clock?"
”Squatting on the ground, I stretched out my hand to draw a simple magic pattern, recited a short incantation, and a clear ball of water gathered in the palm of my hand, and when I withdrew my mana, the water ball lost its magic restraint and turned into a stream of water and poured onto the ground, and the stream of water meandered down the stone ground into the drainage ditch under the stone wall, and said to Qige, "Of course it won't be like that. ”At this time, there was a trace of doubt in Qige's eyes.Looking at the traces of clear water flowing through the ground, I explained to Kig, "In fact, the entire underground cavern is a gentle slope that gradually slopes downward, and we actually need to climb up to get to the orc village outside the exit of the tree hole on the surface.These minecarts are actually one-way, we just push the minecarts full of rocks down the gentle slope, as long as we push the minecarts into the track of the cave gentle slope, those minecarts will automatically dive downward, without the help of external forces at all. ”Looking up at the top of the cave, on the stone wall at the top of the cave, there were iron rods with the thickness of an arm, which stretched far into the darkness at intervals of ten meters.Pointing to the steel rods that were only exposed a short section of the rock wall, I said: "I am also going to erect a cable car on the light rail, and every time the ore car is fully loaded into the underground cavern, the huge momentum generated by this force can be completely converted into the source power of the cable car's operation, and when the time comes, it is still very convenient to transport some simple and light materials to the ground." ”"Why did you suddenly think to do this?"
Kig asked me with a slight frown.I said truthfully: "After all, I promised the Duke of Samoyed that within three years, he would build a town on the Trum side, and there was no good quarry there, so I planned with Bernd to lay light tracks in the cavern and use large minecarts to transport all the hundreds of thousands of granite stones from the Xinliu Valley Quarry to the warehouse near the altar of the teleportation array. ”"I thought you were just talking about it."
Kig smiled a little embarrassedly."
I still have more than 600 barbarian slaves on the side of the Xinliu Valley Quarry, and those slaves are barbarians who have been captured from the outskirts of El City in the past two years."
With that, I pointed my finger at it.Reminiscing about those good times in the city of El and the sunset gilding the walls, bell and drum towers, and war college of El with a golden coat of gold, I looked out the attic window at the playground of Stans College, waiting for Ryan to return from school, perhaps buying some tasty snacks for my Tracy on the way.It's just that slowly, we grow up.Tracy and I don't have the same estrangement as we were as children, and Ryan has a new wife, Nancy, and a cheap daughter, Cindy.Lost in the sea of memories is only a matter of a moment, I came back to my senses, and said to Qige: "The barbarians on the ice and snow tundra, every winter will take advantage of the freezing of the Galloping Horse River and go south, since three years ago, I joined the Eagle Squad in El City, followed some demons and the strong men in the adventure group to catch outside the city, and then simply took Karantso and Ruka out to work alone, the northerners and the barbarians are mortal enemies, even if the northerners catch the barbarians, they usually will not leave a mouth alive, they will cut off the barbarian's left ear first, Then I stabbed them in the chest and killed them, but I took the barbarians into the Valley of the Willows and forced them to sign a slave contract. ”I continued: "Originally, it was planned to dig these granite stones in the quarry in order to build a mountain town on the mountainside of the circular valley, but unfortunately I could not find a professional architect, and the castle was only laid with the foundation, and the construction never continued, and a large amount of stone was piled up in the quarry, so I planned to transport all these stones to Truem, and build a town of Trem with these huge granite stone strips, which is actually quite good." ”"It's just that those barbarian slaves, what do they want to say to me?"
I turned my head to look at Karantso.The orc warrior shrugged her shoulders and spread her hands, indicating that she knew nothing about it.I looked at Karantso in amazement: "I'm really curious now, what do those barbarian slaves want to talk to me about, even you don't know, they should be secretly glad that their slaves are not deprived of their lives, and they are still thinking about what rights and interests they want!"
”"It's not that you have been free-range in the past few years, giving them too much freedom, how can any slave be as easy as them, as long as they complete the assigned task every time, the rest of the time is free."
Karantso snorted softly and retorted unceremoniously.Another branch appeared in the cave in front of him, the light railroad tracks stretched straight into the distance, and another fork in the cave erected a huge wooden fence, the wooden fences were densely arranged, and the gap between them could not even be passed by a goblin, Karantso walked over and knocked on the outermost wooden door of the gate, the wooden door was opened from the inside, and the two young orc warriors could not hide their excitement when they saw me and Karantso.Karantso walked in without any color, and I kindly reached out and patted the strong shoulders of the two orc warriors, but unfortunately I was a little small, and my movements looked a little funny, but seeing my kind appearance, the two young orc warriors seemed very happy, and trotted after Karantso, and hurriedly removed the latch from the second wooden door.When the wooden door was pushed open by the two orc warriors, although they knew what was inside, they were still shocked by the row of more than five meters high oak barrel walls, countless oak barrels stacked on top of each other, stretching along the cavern to the inside, as far as the eye could see, these huge oak barrels could hold about a thousand liters of golden cider each, and the barrels were stacked on top of each other in wooden shelves.The whole cavern was filled with the smell of damp oak and a faint aroma of wine, and an oak barrel lay horizontally in the doorway, and the cork showed signs of being opened, and no one dared to drink the golden cider so blatantly, except the dwarf Bernd.This time it was okay and he knew how to stick it in the cork.
In was a copper tube, which was only a small section exposed, with a small cork tucked into it.I stepped over and took the bottle from my magical fanny pack and said to Kig, "Only dwarves and winemakers can determine the quality of this barrel before it is opened, do you want to taste Zimmerman Manor Golden Cider?"
”If you hadn't seen the rows of huge oak barrels with your own eyes, I am afraid that even if you know an exact number in your heart, it will be difficult to have such an intuitive understanding, and it will be difficult to shock your heart, and only by being there will you know what a great wealth these 60,000 barrels of golden cider are.Holding the glass, leaning against the wooden wall of the oak barrels, Kig said to me, "That's why you helped Lady Arya get rid of Duke Ryan?"
”I was silent for a moment, nodded, and sat down lightly with one hand on a barrel.
With his legs on the edge of the barrel, he began to tell the story of that winter.The story begins with the youngest Celtic barbarians not returning to the ice and tundra safely, the young barbarians lurking near the fishing lake on the outskirts of El City, cooperating with the young successor of the Ito family, Baron Kay, launched a series of conspiracies and coups against the Ellie family, but unfortunately things did not develop according to Baron Kai's plan, until the rebellion was revealed, and the entire Ito family was implicated and moved south.Later, Baron Kai was sentenced to ambush on the bank of the Benma River, the rebels fled into the Ziqing Mountains, and the eight thousand youngest Celtic barbarians all drank blood by the Benma River, and that summer not only was fighting everywhere on the south bank of the Benma River, but also a new round of reshuffling was carried out on the ice and snow tundra hundreds of miles away on the north bank of the Benma River, and the Celtic barbarian tribe with the fattest grassland at the southern end of the ice and snow tundra was conquered and annexed by the Storm Bear tribe.The winter three years ago was not too good, it can be said that it was the worst winter in the last ten years in El City, when the barbarians of the Storm Bear tribe crossed the river south after the Galloping River froze, but they didn't know how to catch it at all, the barbarians of the Storm Bear tribe were different from the barbarians of the Celtic tribe, the barbarians of the Celtic tribe would not destroy the town, nor would they easily kill women, they were only willing to hunt men, at least the barbarians of the Celtic tribe also knew how to let the women of the empire reproduce in this land.The barbarians of the Storm Bear Tribe devastated the towns around El, destroying several towns around Ell one after another, and then gathering outside Elre to try to capture El, and the city was in flames of war throughout the winter.It was that winter that I became an Eagle in El City.Our Eagle Squad entered the ruined town of Maas, saw the flattened Zimmerman Manor, rescued Lady Zimmerman Jenny, Lady Arya, Ann and Demi from the cellar, and also in order to be able to find Anthony and others hiding in the cellar, I opened the portal in the cellar and let the orc warriors empty the entire cellar of the Golden Cider.In order to keep the secret of Xinliu Valley, it is impossible for me to return these golden ciders to Ann, and such a large fortune, I was inevitably unbalanced in my heart at that time, but then I became friends with Ann, for him, I am also a teacher and a friend, which makes it even more difficult for me to be safe, although Ann's life in El City is worry-free, but since he has taken other people's things, he wants to make up for something.Perhaps he was worried that one day in the future, he might meet Ann again on the streets of the imperial capital.At least be able to greet each other cordially, rather than being hated.At least you can travel to the imperial capital with your arms, instead of passing by like a stranger.At the very least, I can tell a little bit about the situation in the past few years, rather than not saying nothing
