Eldi, Eldy!
Leon's tone was too nervous, although Eldi slept soundly, he immediately opened his eyes after only two sounds, and Leon's expression reminded him of the night when Dyrell City was attacked by demons: What's wrong?
I found an underground entrance.Underground entrance?
Is that the underground entrance I understand?
That's all there is to it.The underground entrance is not equal to the entrance to the abyss, and the demons are not equal to the inhabitants of the underground world, but the underground world is still the enemy of the above-ground races.The gods and demons front line that we are talking about now is actually fighting the inhabitants of the underground world.Eldi immediately stood up: Let's go inform the Church of the God of Nature!
But he was held back by Leon.What's wrong?
This entrance situation is a bit peculiar.Leon said, moving the three-dimensional mini-map, I didn't realize it was an entrance to the underground world at first, I found out that it was inhabited here.This is a seemingly inconspicuous intersection in a huge underground labyrinth, and the rats have diverged all the way here and turned into small spiders, very small and only like grains of rice.Originally, this intersection was a dead end, and the spider should return to the same place, but its super night vision allowed it to discover the difference between this intersection.Its thinking is not natural, but blocked, and the stone that blocks it is very regular, and it should be deliberately built up by intelligent beings.This is in points.
In the assigned mission, it should be explored in detail, because it represents danger.The spider crawled through the gap and found that on the other side of the blocked intersection was a thick mycelium.Is it a mushroom herder?
Seeing the form shown in Leon's map, Eldi also relaxed.The appearance of the mushroom herder is terrifying, like a ball of black dough that is not elongated, and then a slender strip is pulled from the dough as an arm.This race has no eyes, no nose, and no mouth.They grew mushrooms everywhere, and at first people thought that mushroom herders also fed on mushrooms, but later it turned out that mushroom herders actually only needed a small amount of water to survive.The mushrooms that are planted are more like their children, and those mushrooms grow to a certain size and come to life.When this race first appeared to the people of the earth, it was considered a demon, and later it was also used as an outpost of the underworld to invade the earth.It was later discovered that they had actually been driven to the surface by the armies of the underworld, and they were also victims.However, because of their weakness and harmlessness, as well as their appearance that did not conform to the aesthetics of the terrestrial races, the mushroom herders were still regarded as huntable animals and were massacred.It wasn't until the major churches came forward and regarded them as friendly underground races, and it was also the invasion of the underground races that the invasion of the underground races had subsided, and the slaughter stopped on the bright side of the races that could only be seen in storybooks, and they didn't know where to kill if they wanted to.Fortunately, this race has an amazing ability to reproduce, as long as there are spores growing in a certain corner, a new mushroom is born, otherwise it would have been killed on both the ground and the ground.This entrance was blocked by themselves?
It seems that the mushroom herder is also very smart.Eldi looked at the three-dimensional map, the world of mushroom herders, the mycelium near the entrance of the cave was thicker than other places, but standing in the cave, he couldn't tell the thickness, he could only see the gray expanse, and there were countless mushrooms growing from the mycelium.There are more mushroom herders wandering back and forth here than anywhere else, and judging from the situation, it should be patrolling.Whether or not the shepherds were wise or not is now a debated puzzle, and even with the Church's statement, there are still those who think that they are not human, but animals, or even lower than animals, plants with living activities.It must have been blocked by them, and between the stones that had been piled up, there were some binders, the composition was very similar to the mycelium, but it should have been fermented, and it had been too long to lose its activity.You're going to hide this entrance?
Well, I don't think it's necessary to report it for the time being.Eldi didn't rush to deny it, he first thought about why Leon did this, and what would be in the interest of both of them.At this stage, Leon only has mushroom herders in the map he gave, and it should be that Leon has only explored the area of mushroom herders.The mushrooms of the herders are edible, although the mushrooms grown by the herders can be understood as their cubs.But the way mushroom people reproduce is different from the terrestrial race, and mushrooms are mushrooms when they don't become mushroom people, and they are no different from mushrooms that grow wildly after rain in the woods.There is no need to take such great risks if it is just for food, their need for things is not so urgent.So what is the property underground?
The gods on the ground have the ability to completely seal the underground entrances everywhere, so why not seal them.On the one hand, if you seal an old entrance, there will be a new entrance in a few hundred years at most, which is because there is too much lava accumulation underground, and there is always a place to erupt, and it is not wise to plug the crater.On the other hand, there is the relationship of interests, and there are all kinds of precious materials and medicinal materials in the underground world.In addition, judging from the thick mycelium that Leon said, and the range of activities of the mushroom herders, they have been breeding in this area for a long time.It's possible that there are only mushroom herders in this underground area, and if there are other races in the depths, it means that this is a remote and neglected area.It may be safe for now, but it's still too risky for us to keep it a secret.Because I want to make this my hunting ground.Leon said frankly that if I devour most of the living creatures in Dyriel, then Dyrill will not be completely destroyed.But in that case, the archbishops have since I was the one who died in the explosion.But if it's a dungeon, there's no such trouble.Eldy, you want to be strong to protect me, and I want to be strong even more.This answer really made Eldy unable to refuse, and he actually thought it was really good: if you are discovered, you must cut off and divide it as soon as possible. body and inform the church.While I don't know much about the races that live in the dungeons, I've heard that they are more proficient in soul magic than we are, and they like to tempt souls to fall and even transform them.I'll be mindful, and I'll share the fruits of my expedition with you tomorrow.Eldy smiled: Okay.He was still a little apprehensive, like the feeling after the Bonova family was still there, and his parents were still there.Because he knew that he had done something wrong, and if the adults knew that he had done such a thing, they would inevitably punish him severely.But Leon dragged him to eat grilled fish, and laughed at him for doing bad things and doing bad things, anyway, he had already done it!
It's delicious!
Eldi took a big bite of the grilled fish, and the tender and fragrant fish slid down his throat and into his stomach, and his confidence suddenly grew.Leon eats with Eldy while showing Eldy the labyrinth of the underground cave.There are thousands of stone stalactites in the cave, transparent fish without eyes growing in the underground cave, and strange little insects next time we come out, I will take you to the maze to see!
Two people who already have a lot of secrets in common, this time there is more of a terrifying big secret.As we entered February, the ships of the Modosu family docked one after another, first the machines, then the immigrants.The two researchers and the new tester assemble and modify the machine together, and the originally empty factory building is gradually filled.But the cotton that filled the storehouses finally began to decrease.Immigrants are a little more troublesome, and the first target of immigrants is the city near them, followed by the big city they are familiar with, and finally they are willing to leave their hometown, especially if the village is not a city, it is a village.Most of the immigrants who are willing to come here are desperate, except for bankrupt peasants who are heavily indebted, or some outlaws.The people of Hope Village are very good now, and no one wants the village to become a chaotic place.When immigrants come over, they first clean their bodies, register and then quarantine, and those who are unwilling to cooperate are directly sent back to the ship.These people are penniless, the tickets are on credit, and if the village does not accept them, the crew will not kindly send them back in place, but will just throw them somewhere in the passing, and the kind sailors will throw them on land, and the unkind will throw them into the river.If the people sent back are willing to make amends, the village will give them a second chance to stay.But if they relapse into their old ways, especially if they see the boat gone, then the hard labor camp will be a good place for them.There is a shortage of large livestock in the village of Hope, and whips will make these people happy to work.Leon would not hold the people of the Church of the God of Nature accountable for the expulsion of the slaves, which was contrary to their teachings, and Leon directly let the tentacles whip them.The image of the tentacle itself is very terrifying, in line with people's imagination of evil demons, those who cause trouble, some people are directly scared to death when they see the tentacles.I don't know if it makes people feel that they dare to flutter with such a little courage, or they feel that others are bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, he is bullying people and afraid of monsters, and the nest is horizontal to the extreme.Tentacles whipping prisoners to work have become a famous sight in the village, and every day people are scared and shivering, and their eyes widen and they look hard.The families who are living together again, the adults teaching the naughty children a lesson, are never disobedient monsters coming to catch you again!
No matter how naughty you are, let the tentacles whip you!
Judging by the volume of the children's frightened crying, it is clear that the tentacles work better than the monsters.With the example of the first batch of hard labor who were drawn by tentacles, the immigrants who came back were much more honest, and the number of people who died was greatly reduced.However, as the population grew, so did the management of the village.After all, it can't be like in the novel, when you need talents, someone won't send them to the door, and those who have been promoted from the bottom, after getting used to power, have also deteriorated, although now there is only fart power.The codex written by Eldi was getting thicker at a rapid pace, and the knights were all being pulled over to be stewards.In mid-February, Leon called Hogan, Mombe, and Morifio to Leon.What's up?
I'm still checking on farmland reclamation.Maurifio snorted.Among the new immigrants, the largest number of people were abandoned to clear the wasteland, and although Leon's tentacles had pulled out the grass and trees and removed the boulders, there were still a lot of gravel and tree roots in the farmland, and clearing the land was still a laborious task.Leon set strict rules for the state of farmland reclamation last year, but the regulations are placed there, and they need to be measured.The inspection of an acre of land is also very energy-consuming and physically demanding, but no one proposes to let Leon's tentacles do it, and everyone knows that if everything is done by Leon, then even if the city develops, no matter how gorgeous it looks on the surface, it is just a palace built on sand.Hogan is now an elementary school teacher plus physician and is busier than Morifio every day.Mombe was a little more relaxed at this stage, because he was in charge of the village's belongings, but only slightly.It is also a novelty for them to build a city with their own hands.Although on many things, they have disagreements with Leon.But Eldi had already conveyed his five-year agreement with Leon to the people, and they were still able to do it after waiting for five years.Come with me to a place and see something.Leon said.This mysterious attitude made everyone turn their attention to Eldi.Eldi shook his head, he didn't know, it wouldn't be the underground thing after all, but knowing that Leon had another secret, Eldi was still a little unhappy.Eldi didn't even know, but Leon's attitude was obviously that he had to go to them, so he would go.Did they put such a village chief on the table?
Walking into the woods, and running wild for more than an hour in scorpions, they came to a river, where there was a small cabin, and some items that they could not say were of use.Leon walked into the cabin and brought out a thick stack of off-white cloth?
Is he weaving here?
Give, paper.Leon held up the stack of cloths and uttered a word that surprised them.Yes?
What?
Paper?
Maurifio was the fastest, and he pressed it to the paper and grabbed a dozen of them.It was not a cloth to the touch, but it was not parchment either, and they were very thin, and Maurifio grabbed the top one, and the bottom one floated to the ground, and everyone's eyes were focused on the falling paper, although it fell slowly, but no one reached out to pick it up, and they all had a strange sense of unreality, so the paper fell to the ground and was quickly soaked in muddy water.How can this be paper?
Maurifio held up the paper in his hand, and he suddenly felt a fierce sense of guilt for these fluttering little things, especially the scratched and dirty paper in his hand.Paper is expensive and precious, ordinary parchment paper cannot be so white, it is brown or tawny, and even if soaked in spices, it still smells in the nose of the awakened.How much is it cherished to be so fair-skinned and with a faint fragrance?
It should have been a record of precious knowledge, heavy history, but he had broken it, and the other three felt the same way, and they took a few steps back, away from Maurifio, and even more away from the soiled paper, and looked at him with disgust and accusation.Chapter 102 Leon put the paper he had taken out on the stone table beside him, went into the wooden house again, and took out a bottle of ink and a pen: try to write one, don't push too hard, this kind of paper is much more fragile than parchment.Eldy was instantly picked up by Hogan and greeted the pen, and Eldy turned his head and waited for him with the eyes that he had met Hogan for the first time!
I didn't even react to a single fighter, should I say that for the first time, I realized that Hogan was really higher than my rank?!
Leon sighed, took out a piece of paper and wrote on it: I want to dedicate the method of making paper to the Church of the God of Nature, how much can the church give me?
The inky blue handwriting appeared on the off-white paper, and the handwriting was clear and neat.Leon picked up the paper and showed it to several people.Meng Bei swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva: What is this, what is this going to be made of?
Is it cotton?
Leon glanced at Mombe: "Smart man, you can use cotton, but you can also use hemp, reeds, wood, bamboo, preferably bamboo, and so on.Maurifio took his eyes off the paper on the ground: doesn't that mean the paper is cheap?!
Hogan glared at him: the value of paper is not whether it is valuable or not!
Yes, it's cheap, which is probably its biggest advantage.Moreover, the production process does not require the assistance of any kind of extraordinary ability, and ordinary people can also make it.Ten pieces of paper are sold for one copper coin, and the papermakers can still make money.Its biggest drawback is its fragility, I don't know if this paper can be enchanted by you like all kinds of leather paper, are you sure you want to tell the church how to make it?!
Meng Bei's eyes were filled with greed for a moment.It doesn't matter if it can be enchanted or not, even if it's just plain paper, it's enough to make a huge profit.The most common use of paper is the church, followed by the alchemist, who records and calculates on this paper.And with the cheaper paper, the cost of education will inevitably drop significantly.Otherwise, you would have said that you were going to open a literacy class, and Eldi would have suddenly come to her senses.Subconscious: One of the essential skills of a traverser!
Papermaking!
Leon: =.= Leon entered the room for the third time and took out a thread-bound book from inside: the production method is here, who wants it?
Including Eldi, all four of them stretched out their hands, but they all retracted their hands in unison.In the end, you look at me, I look at you, and focus on something important like Morifio, or on someone who can fight.Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
The Pope, who looked up from the high mountain of papers, was supposed to be a beauty, but her ginger hair was messed up into haystacks, she had two deep dark circles, her eyes were so bloodshot that it was impossible to see what color her eyes were, her lips were chapped and peeling, and her skin was dull, and with these negative bonuses, it was really impossible to tell what she looked like.Papermaking!
It was sent by Hope Village!
The clerk said excitedly with a box.
