My Magic Age

In the underground cave of Xinliu Valley, there is a team of neatly stacked sleepers every few meters. I didn't expect Bernd to transport some of the sleepers to the underground warehouse so quickly. Insufficient transportation capacity has always been a major problem that has plagued the development of the entire Xinliu Valley.

Even though it currently only owns one of the nine floating mountains in Xinliu Valley, for me, the Hengduan Mountains, which are 800 miles deep, are far more than just vast land and abundant resources. There are a wide variety of primary magic herbs in the mountains and fields here, and various low-level magic beasts live in the mountains and forests here. There are also countless rare woods in the forests, and you can find large areas of indigo wood and iron wood forests.

Dwarf consultant Bernd believes that what hinders the development of Xinliu Valley is not the scarce population, but the connection between here and the outside world. All materials need to pass through the long underground caves to be transported out of Xinliu Valley. This is a long journey.

At the beginning, the transportation of materials depended on the orc warriors to carry the materials out little by little on their shoulders.

Later, after owning three spider slaves and flatbed trucks, everything seemed to become much easier.

Later, the natives of the Yelo plane also joined the transportation, and the transportation capacity of Xinliu Valley was strengthened to the greatest extent.

When I wiped out the goblin tribe, I used a fire phosphorus bomb to detonate, causing a huge natural cave in the underground cave to collapse. After the explosion formed a tiankeng, the huge tree hole exit was no longer the only exit to the ground, and the distance between the underground warehouse and the ground was shortened again.

If Duke Samoyed had not asked me to build a town in the jungle of Trum within three years, I might not have considered how to transport the stones in the quarry in Xinliu Valley out of Xinliu Valley.

The dwarf Bernd proposed to build a light track across the underground, and to use countless mine carts to closely connect the ground and the underground altar.

This idea seems to be really good.

…

This is a rich and closed plane, hidden in the turbulence of time. Only once every ten years will it appear in the sight of magicians.

The natives from the Yello plane were used to wearing linen trousers and working in the cave with their upper bodies naked. The cave seemed a bit stuffy, and the air in this section of the cave became very dirty due to the stone chiseling.

Bernd stood on the pile of wood and shouted to the Yello natives who were working hard, "Use all your strength to pave this section of the road to the corner in front, and then we will stop working. There will be baked wheat cakes and dry meat soup for dinner, and then you can have a good sleep."

A young Yello native carried a heavy sleeper with a piece of dead bark on his shoulders. He swayed past Bernd. Seeing his sweaty and dusty face, it was obvious that his physical strength was on the verge of overdrawn. His steps were a little shaky when he walked, and he was always shaky when he was about to fall.

Bernd held a ruler in his hand, patted the young native on the face, and shouted to him: "Come on, we are just a little bit ahead, and this section will be completed."

The young native stopped, took a breath, nodded to Bernd, carried the heavy sleeper, and continued to walk inside.

Bernd stared and said to the native swinging the hammer next to him: "Don't be lazy, work harder, fix all the remaining sleepers in one breath and then rest."

The native who had already been unable to swing the big hammer heard Bernd say this, twisted his waist, and started to "dangdangdang" and smashed an iron ingot into the stone slab.

Undoubtedly, Bernd's constant urging was very effective. Although these natives looked exhausted, they still gritted their teeth and worked hard.

...

The goblins are good at digging caves. They have lived underground for so many years, and their bodies have gradually adapted to the environment here.

The goblins usually rely on digging plant roots in the caves, scraping mosses on the wet cave walls with stone slabs, and looking for some edible mushrooms or insects in the caves to fill their stomachs. The food in the caves is extremely scarce. In order to find some food, they often have to dig on the surface of the ground, so the goblins here are most proficient in digging caves.

Before this, Bernd asked the orc warriors to be supervisors and drove nearly 10,000 goblins to open new warehouses in the underground caves.

Now, the most skilled goblins among these goblins have been selected to join the construction of the underground light rail. These goblins have to take a good rest on the ground of the underground caves, which was originally ups and downs and not so flat, so that the natives can easily lay the sleepers.

But compared to these hard-working Yello natives, the goblin aborigines in the underground caves of Xinliu Valley prefer to be lazy. As long as the native supervisors are not paying attention, the cunning goblins will stop chiseling and hammering. Therefore, if you want to make the goblins work hard, it is not enough to give them enough food or threaten them that they will be dragged away to feed giant spiders if they don't work well.

The servility in the goblins is in their bones. Compared with the temptation of rewards and the system of punishment, they need a whip hanging over their heads all the time. Only under the whipping of thorny vines with sharp spikes, these goblins will work hard.

Whether it is an orc warrior supervisor or a Yello native supervisor, everyone knows that goblins will never become more diligent because of your tolerance. Their diligence is proportional to the number of times the whip is swung.

But the natives of the Yero plane are different. After enjoying the delicious baked wheat cakes and dried meat soup, which are usually difficult to eat in the Black Forest of the Yero plane, the natives of the Yero plane believe that only by working harder can they continue to enjoy these delicious baked wheat cakes.

Bernd squeezed the last bit of strength out of the natives, and then he was satisfied and asked his followers to ring the clock in their hands.

Many exhausted Yero natives would support each other and walk out of the construction cave.

The dwarf Bernd whispered to me: In this high-intensity labor, many young Yero natives are growing rapidly in physical fitness, and their own physical fitness is improving very quickly.

Bernd made a new request to me. He not only wanted me to provide sufficient wheat cakes for the Yero natives, but also to add more meat and vegetables to the working meals. For this reason, he had mentioned it to the old orc Zewang many times, but the old orc Zewang decisively refused. The reason for the refusal was simple. The hunting group of the orc village had no way to expand the scale of hunting in the short term.

In the past, the dried meat in Xinliu Valley was provided by the orc village. The orcs liked to go into the mountains to collect magic herbs and hunt wild beasts in the mountains. The 800-li Hengduan Mountains in Xinliu Valley were rich in products. Although the types of magic beasts in the mountains were very single, there were many kinds of ordinary wild beasts. Every hunt would have some gains.

At first, these prey were only enjoyed by the orcs in the village. Occasionally, they would take out some pig legs and other things to improve the food for the barbarians in the quarry. Those guys were also a group of guys who liked to eat meat. The remaining meat that could not be eaten would be dried into raw meat jerky, which could be stored for a long time.

Gradually, the orc hunters found that because new prey was constantly brought back to the village, the dried meat seemed to be never eaten up. Not only could it not be eaten up, but it seemed to be hoarding more and more. So later, for a long time, I used these excess dried meat to trade with the goblins in exchange for magic copper.

The goblins continued to grow because they had enough food. When goblins were born in the goblin tribe, the greed in the hearts of the goblins was awakened. They tried to organize people to plunder the various materials stored in my underground warehouse, which triggered the action of me and the orc warriors to encircle and suppress the goblin tribe.

However, after more than 700 Yelo natives settled in Xinliu Valley, the large amount of dried meat stored in the orc village seemed less. After all, there were more than 700 mouths, and just to cook the soup, at least two wild boars were needed every day. The arrival of the natives suddenly turned the meat stored in Xinliu Valley from surplus to scarcity.

It is no longer possible to guarantee that these Yero natives can drink meat soup every day, not to mention how long those barbarian slaves living in the quarry have not enjoyed pork legs.

The dwarf Bernd will not care about the life and death of those barbarian slaves, but Bernd is very concerned about these Yero natives. After each labor, the young Yero natives need sufficient nutrition to replenish their physical strength. Only in this way can the physical strength of those young Yero natives be quickly restored and they will grow up faster.

Although these Yero natives can never achieve the strong physique of orc warriors, Bernd thinks that these young Yero natives also have great potential, so this time he proposed to let me solve the problem of meat supply in Xinliu Valley.

I promised him that I would go back to the orc village to talk to the old orc Zewang in person and ask him to eliminate as many orcs as possible to go out hunting.

…

I watched the natives of Yelo lay the sleepers one by one on the rocky ground, and then use two-foot-long iron nails to firmly fix the sleepers. A square sleeper was laid every 1.5 meters. If you didn’t see it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine the construction speed of the dwarf Bernd.

I couldn’t figure out how Bernd could transport such a large number of sleepers to the underground warehouse in such a short time. You know, ‘Xinliu Valley’s transportation capacity’ has always been a difficult problem we are ready to solve.

Even if there were three spider slaves pulling the three flatbed trailers to carry sleepers in the underground cave day and night, it would be impossible to transport so many sleepers back from the lumberyard at once.

“How many light rails are you going to transport this time?” Bernd stood in front of me with a dusty face. I don’t know how long this guy hasn’t washed his face.

"All of them."

He put on an incredible look and asked, "Are those rails placed over there at the altar?"

"Yeah."

He patted the dust off his hands, waved at me, and said excitedly, "I'll check the quality first. If it doesn't meet the standards, I won't take it. Don't think of finding a pile of scrap metal to perfunctory me."

The dwarf Bernd didn't tell me much. He was anxious to see those light rails.

"Hey..."

I originally wanted to ask about the progress of the construction period to see what he needed me to prepare next, but seeing that Bernd was progressing much faster than I expected, I didn't ask.

I guess the most urgent thing to do is some logistical support work, or find a way to solve the problem of meat supply.

As for finding the Hextech drawings about the use of machinery to mass-produce "metal rune plates", seeing that Bernd is so busy, I guess he can't help me.

I didn't want to stay in the underground warehouse for too long. The purpose of coming to Xinliu Valley this time was mainly to visit Ying Li who came to relax and bring news from the imperial capital. I was afraid that she would not be used to living here, so I wanted to see if she wanted to return to the imperial capital.

In addition, I vaguely felt that the world tree in the circular valley was calling me, and I didn't know what it wanted to find me for.

The imperial capital ushered in a long summer vacation. Little Ella wanted to go back to the orc village and live with her friends in the village for a while. It seemed that although she didn't say it, she was still a little homesick.

In the few months since Little Ella left Xinliu Valley, the underground warehouse has changed a lot. After the cave was reorganized, it became cleaner and tidier. She curiously looked at the Yero natives who lined up along the edge of the stone wall to the rest area, secretly observing the bark ornaments on their bodies.

Deborah followed me quietly, and I could feel that she didn't like it here.

After Kalancuo arranged for the orc warriors to carry the light rails, he caught up.

At this time, little Ella put on a pitiful look and threw herself into Kalancuo's arms, but it was just a hug. Kalancuo patted little Ella's back and said to her: "You are a big child who can go to school. Why do you always want to cry? If you live in the orc tribe, you will get married in two years. Why don't you grow up?"

Although little Ella was shy, she was unwilling to leave Kalancuo's arms.

Looking at the two of them, I recalled the scene in the slave market in El City. At that time, little Ella was so well-behaved that it made people feel distressed.

Kalancuo held Little Ella in one hand and asked me, "By the way, Jijia, do you want to renew the contract for the warehouse at the airport?"

I thought about it and said, "Of course, this warehouse is used to transport various materials in the future, including magic herbs, magic spider silk ingots, wood and the like, which can be piled in it. Is there any problem with this?"

Kalancuo nodded gently and said, "There are too many light rails this time, and the storage space I prepared here is insufficient. It is estimated that only one-third of the total number of light rails can be transported in this time."

In fact, according to my idea, I didn't think about moving these light rails into Xinliu Valley at once. I said, "Even if you don't say it, I have to say that the lightning power that maintains the portal is not enough to support the transportation of all the rails. We must move them in in batches..."
