First Law

Churchill didn't believe Harmore, in his opinion it was absolute bullshit.

Water source, if possible, the tribes on the wasteland would not be as difficult as imagined.

He knew how bad the environment in the southwest of the wilderness was. Fresh water, food, salt, and even a cave were all important resources, and even they didn't dare to enjoy them in a luxurious way.

The vast area, the scorching high temperature at noon, and the freezing cold at night make it impossible to grow here, and the barren minerals make this place a deadly place for life.

To put it bluntly, as long as possible, who would like to wait here to die.

They were able to live entirely by relying on 'Lushui Daisy's goodbye kiss'.

A small magical water well that can spew out some clean water every day.

This is the foundation of their wasteland Forbes' survival, and it is also the means of ruling this wasteland. With fresh water, they can exchange for other resources.

Churchill did not refute, although it sounds fanciful, it is not his nature to question it openly.

Harmore must have been pissed off in Gold Shining Town. With Karen's strong personality, even he would have a big fight, let alone Harmore.

From his point of view, this is all Harmore trying to gather Forbes to put pressure on Karen.

But the other four Forbes didn't think so. They believed that this was a major event that could threaten the survival of Forbes in the wasteland, and they asked Churchill to find out the ins and outs of Karen, and it was best to ensure that he did not solve the problem of water sources.

Churchill was amused by the worries of his fellow clansmen. Things like magic water wells were not just owned casually. They were items that survived from ancient times.

But because of face, he had to deal with this tail, after all, he was the one who introduced Karen into the wasteland.

But when he came to Gold Shining Town, his expression was a little unnatural, because there was a tall and straight kobold standing at the gate, which was always empty. He had a bunch of red hair in the middle of his forehead. He knew him. He was the strongest kobold Harden in Gold Shining Town. , and one of the kobold slaves he trained.

I'm sorry, Mr. Churchill, the town of Gold Shining is currently on alert, and visitors are temporarily not accepted. Harden said calmly.

I'm just talking to old Bunker about some personal matters. Churchill was a little puzzled. He felt that this special blocking was probably Karen's order, and only humans like to set up guard posts. Maybe this can enhance their superiority.

This is the order of Elder Bunker. He said that he must fulfill the order of the mayor wholeheartedly and not be disturbed. Harden said still very politely.

Churchill was stunned for a moment, he could see that the kobold was not lying.

Really Bunker?

This is a bit strange, has the Kobold changed his gender?

But this didn't bother him, there was no wall in Gold Shining Town, he just didn't want to wrong his identity.

Turning around and looking for another direction, he entered Gold Shining Town boldly. Looking at the kobold sentinel at the door, a mocking sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Vainous humans.

In his opinion, it was a complete waste of resources, and the wasteland did not need such a gimmick, but as soon as he entered the town of Gold, the smile on Churchill's face never appeared again.

As Harmore said, a large pit appeared in the open space in the east, at least as high as three kobolds. The bottom of the pit has been compacted, and some kobolds are busy laying canvas.

Flash Gold Town has also changed a lot. Some broken thatched houses were directly demolished and transformed into large connected ones. In the middle of the thatched houses is a stone-walled house built with crushed stones mixed with crushed mud.

Churchill frowned slightly, and mud needs water, and those kobolds in the past would never waste a drop of water on repairing things. Even though no one was paying attention, he still let himself walk along the base of the wall, came to the stone wall, and glanced inside. The tables were neatly arranged in four rows. Moore said there was a porcelain clay bowl the size of a palm.

I have some worries in my heart,

Although he didn't believe it, Harmore didn't seem to be lying.

Hey, Mondo, wash it up, you know, the boss doesn't like the smell on us.

Churchill had an idea, he heard old Bunker's voice, just behind the stone wall, turned half of his body lightly, and froze for an instant.

What came into view were two large wooden barrels, a gourd scoop was floating above the bucket like a boat, and beside the gourd scoop seemed to be the heads of two kobolds.

The sound came from inside the bucket.

Don't worry, I've already rubbed it 5 times.

Rub it again, you kid is lucky, behave well.

I know, I'll rub it again right away.

Crash!

A palm protruded from the barrel, grabbing the gourd ladle, the clear fresh water flew out of the ladle like a waterfall, and landed on the kobold's head with a series of wonderful arcs.

bath?

The sloping water told Churchill that two kobolds, one big and one small, were taking a bath with fresh water. He felt that he had seen the most incredible thing in the world. Even Forbes, who had a magic well, did not dare to use fresh water extravagantly. Come take a shower.

source of water!

Harmore read it right, Karen had at least one water source at the level of a magic well, and it was much more advanced than the Dewy Daisy's Kiss Goodbye they had mastered.

He is now eager to see what Karen is doing, what equipment solves the water problem.

Karen's room is easy to find, the thatched cottage with the most decorations.

Churchill touched it carefully. Of course, it was unnecessary. At this time, all the kobolds were digging water holes, and no one was idle.

Boss, if it is in the experiment, a small conduit can solve the problem, but now you are doing industry, and the conduit and the water container need to be carefully designed. According to my opinion, the kobold's well is the best place to hold the water. container, we can press the evaporated water vapor into the well.

I will discuss the water well with Bunker. The problem of the conduit also needs to be solved. It is best to use a rubber tube. At the same time, the transpiration pool also needs to be professionally sealed, and the bottom of the pool must also be guaranteed to be watertight. Li Wen, don't you have a solution? ?

Boss, I'm just a chemist, not an industrial leader. These are two completely different concepts.

Churchill searched around in a large circle. Except for some alchemy equipment, there was no so-called magic water well at all, and the conversation between the skeleton and Karen could not hear a single bit of information. His eyes shot back and forth in the room, and suddenly fell on Karen not far away. Pile on a yellow-white solid.

His heart was suddenly grabbed.

Who! Nicole's flame bomb landed directly on the gate, igniting the sole of a foot with a puff.

The moment the flame appeared, Churchill was so frightened that he even forgot to retract his left foot. When he realized that the sole of his foot was already on fire, he had to lower his body to fight the fire with sand. After he put out the fire, he found that Karen had brought three The skeleton stood in front of him.

Churchill? Why are you here?

Churchill felt that Karen was taunting him. He had only been away from Gold Glitter Town for three days, and at the time he had vowed to let the necromancer get out of the wasteland in despair, but now it seems that Gold Glitter Town is much better than he imagined, and he But like a thief.

He didn't know what to say, and he wanted to bang his head on the stake. After all, it was a fact that the Necromancer had a source of water. He should report this news to his fellow clan to make preparations for dealing with the town of Gold.

But he didn't go, because he saw the pile of yellow and white things on the table.

Did you get water?

Karen smiled, Your news is very good.

Churchill smiled awkwardly, A fellow of mine told me, it seems that I was wrong, you are very capable, and those kobolds are quite convinced of you, I have never seen this group of kobolds so active before.

Actually, they are pretty good, and they work hard. Churchill, do you still want to ask for skeletons from me this time?

Churchill shook his head, I don't have that capital anymore. You have fresh water, kobolds, and a small town. No one can threaten you. It seems that I should get out of the wasteland. Don't worry, I I will fulfill my promise. He smiled wryly and decadently, although there is still a long way to go in a month, but the current development trend of Gold Town can't stop Karen's development at all.

He is not the kind of person who would stab someone behind his back, and he would not take advantage of Forbes to deliberately suppress him. This is not his style. What is more important is that what Karen has is not fresh water, but salt.

Churchill took another look at the yellow-white solid on the table, and he was very sure that it was table salt.

Water is scarce, but it's just these small tribes in the southwest of the wilderness. Most of the real big tribes will settle on the Mississippi River, and they don't need to waste money buying fresh water.

But salt is completely different. This pure white solid born from salt mines maintains the life of every creature.

Even the most survivable demon must absorb a certain amount of salt every day.

It's a pity that there are very few salt mines. When he was in the Orc tribe, his tribe had to exchange precious furs for a little salt. These are the three scarce resources that coexist with magic crystals and steel.

He knew very well that Karen didn't have so much salt when he entered the wasteland, but now there are almost half a table, which only shows that this human has a salt mine.

If you own table salt, you don't have to worry about having no market at all. You just need to find a merchant and you can exchange it for money.

Seeing the ever-changing expression on Churchill's face, Karen smiled, Churchill, I didn't mean to drive you away, I know you have something to hide, if you still treat me as a friend, stop talking about who got out of the wilderness. Nonsense.

you do not mind?

Karen shook her head, I was very angry when I was arguing with you, but after you left, I was not so angry. I know that there is no real gain for the two of us.

Churchill really didn't know what to say, so he could only smile awkwardly, I'm sorry, I was carried away at the time, you are worthy of association, Karen, I apologize for my recklessness, what can I do for you, just now I heard at the door that you need rubber pipes, and I happen to know a Taifen (elephant man), who has a rubber factory under the Aijiaer Snow Mountain, and maybe he can customize some for you.”

Karen shook her head, If you want to help, it's more practical to say do me another favor.

What's the matter? Churchill asked puzzled.

Come and help me in Gold Glitter Town.
