Wolf King

The contour line topographic map of the Snow Wolf Clan is generally drawn, mainly because there are no precise measurement tools, so it can only be filled with color blocks of different colors in the lines indicating the undulation and height of the ground, so that people can see clearly at a glance which area Where the terrain rises, where the terrain is concave, where there are low mountains, where there are valleys and canyons.

This is definitely not a map with much accuracy, but it is barely enough in the grassland environment... When Aldoni led his companions to the upper reaches of the river in the northwest and arrived at the site of the Grand Canal project. The group of casters glanced at the map hanging in the shed, and they could basically see where the Grand Canal was going to be built.

This is also what shocked the casters: "This, this——you want to build a [-]-kilometer Grand Canal?!"

"To be precise, it is 260 kilometers, and the error is within ten kilometers." Ah Yue corrected with a serious face, "From the upper reaches of the Dadi River to the southern mouth of the sea, the straight-line distance is about 360 kilometers, but these few There is no way to go through this place, so we have to go around this [-] kilometers.” A Jiang raised his finger to several places on the map, “This area is densely populated with low mountains, and this area painted in dark green is a forest, and this, this area is a large The low-lying land, that is, the swamp, has to be detoured a little bit."

Aldoni didn't understand: "I know that you need to bypass the mountain area, but why do you need to bypass the forest and swamp?"

Ah Yue explained patiently: "This forest is about [-] kilometers away. It is one of the few places in our tribe that can produce purple shellac by itself, so we can't cut down trees and deforestation. In the future, we will find ways to expand it. Forest area. As for the swamp, according to our experience, the silt cleared from such a large-scale swamp can at least fertilize tens of thousands of hectares of fields. The cleared swamp is quite suitable for planting fruit trees, soybeans and alfalfa. Canals By going around the side, we can build an agricultural base around this swamp in the future.”

Aldoni & other casters: "..."

Just...you prairie people insist on beating us spellcasters in terms of vision, don't you...

It is impossible for Ah Yue to have any awareness of environmental protection. This guy who rejects new things, but will firmly defend their existence after discovering that new things are indeed profitable, is a very practical pragmatist——Purple Shellac It's not a scarce resource. Going to a kid with a small blade and playing in the woods can cut dozens of catties a day; but as long as it is something that needs money to buy, it must have the awareness of self-production and protection of production.

Xiao Yun sent a total of nine spellcasters to the construction site. These are the casters who stayed for "advanced training" after being divided up by the three big scientific research families. Balk lost Aisha and gave Xiao Yun Aldoni was taken away with glowing green eyes, and the remaining four disciples, two women, two men, Xiao Yun were too embarrassed to move.

Ah Yue asked the chef of the team to feed the nine spellcasters, and then sloppily... took Aldoni and the other nine people to the mica mine they accidentally discovered when they were digging the Grand Canal.

The original construction site, which had just been excavated and was called to a halt, was now surrounded by a fence. Ah Yue walked inside, knelt down and scraped the soil, and picked up a piece of mica that was covered in mud and dirty. The film shows the spellcasters: "When we build roads and open rivers, we always dig into the rock layer and put nitroglycerin in to explode it. But when we chose to dig from this side at the beginning, we found mica within two meters deep. piece."

"Then we dug up the surrounding area and checked, and confirmed that the surrounding area should be a relatively large mica mine." Ah Yue said, drawing a general range with his hands, "Of course we don't know how big it is, I am busy building the canal, so I put it aside for now. When you come, please help to see how the mica reserves are. If there is value in mining, I will contact the Qiuling New District."

To be honest, at first the nine spellcasters were very worried that the Snow Werewolf would ask them to mine - it's not like the prairie people can't do this kind of thing!

Aldoni and the others were relieved to hear that they only needed to be responsible for surveying the reserves, and that the mining would be taken over by others.

The caster's mental power is pervasive, and can enter through no holes. It is not difficult to use it to detect underground mine veins. Yumi Hockley also did this when he was lured by Dahe's beauty...

Next, Aldoni and others worked on the suspected mica mine for a few days. After confirming that there were mica flake crystals in the surrounding kilometers and at a depth of thousands of meters underground, it was a large-scale mica rich mine, and then went to find it. Ah Yue is on a business trip.

Due to the discovery of mica mines, the canal project was moved 3000 kilometers to the east and has officially started; when the casters arrived, a [-]-member engineering team was busy cutting rocks and removing vegetation between the cliffs that blocked the water potential of the river of the earth. Steel drills are drilled in the valley, and cement dams are cast up layer by layer.

When Aldoni and others came before, they were taken to survey the mica mine before they had a chance to see the construction site. Now they came to the dam construction site, and they were all stunned——

With the infrastructure level of the Huoyan Department, it is inevitable that no super engineering can be built. This Grand Canal dam built on the mountain wall is actually the level of the reservoir dam that can be seen in any third-tier city in modern China...

But even the level of this modern reservoir dam is enough to shock the aborigines of this world—an artificial valley with a width of 500 meters was forcibly opened between the two mountains on the south side (without digging To pass through the mountain wall, just blast the canal after it is completed), and then fill the foundation section by section; some of them have been filled to the ground level, and the pipes extended by the huge cement mixer are being filled with cement, and the steel bars erected towards the sky It is 30 meters high; the other half is still in the excavation stage, and the pumps are running rumblingly to pump out the seeped groundwater and discharge it into the simply dug reservoir, where it is used for cement mixing.

The "big construction sites" I usually see are nothing more than the construction sites of theaters and the casters at the renovation sites of noble mansions. They are simply stunned!

The nine casters couldn't help but rise up against the wind and fly to a height of tens of meters to overlook the entire project site...

"Is the tamping machine assembled? When it's assembled, drag it here!"

"No, the rammer is too heavy and can't be grasped firmly, and it hasn't been hung up yet!"

"I said to put up the lifting frame of the pulley block first, so I have to be lazy? Don't assemble it, build the lifting frame first...Huh?" Ah Yue looked up and saw the spellcasters who were riding the wind to lift into the sky, and his eyes lit up immediately, " Come down and do me a favor!"

...With the help of the casters, the engineering team successfully assembled the five-ton solid three-dimensional rectangular rammer on the rammer...

Then Ah Yue didn't let the spellcasters relax anymore, not only used them as human flesh hoisting machines, but also asked them to pump water for the poured cement, twist steel bars with nimble and powerful mage hands... I'm afraid there will be no work on the construction site. What are you doing?Everywhere is a good life~!

It is reasonable to say that the construction of such a reservoir-level dam is not without profit. However, the current technical level is not enough and has not yet reached the stage of the electric power industry, so we can only reserve space in advance when casting the dam. With this technology Let's do it again.

During the period when Aldoni and others helped the grassland tribes to carry out the canal dam project, Adam pretended to be a traveling mage and went to the western continent to fight with a small team composed of plant hunters, alchemists, and treasure hunters. Enter the underworld and mingle in dungeons.

The combination of the two spellcasters, the plant hunter and the treasure hunter, it seems that they did not come to the dungeon to pan for gold, but to spend money in the dungeon. When they entered the city gate, the four of Adam enjoyed a good courtesy - the underground world is full of All kinds of exotic species. When adventurers bring back the things they have collected from various corners to the dungeon, buyers with different needs will naturally gather in the dungeon.

The glowing moss that covers the walls of the dome overhead doesn't make the dungeon as bright as day, but it doesn't make it feel dark either.The security environment and sanitation of the dungeons of the dark elves are no worse than those of the forest elves, with orderly streets, row upon row of shops, and pedestrians jostling each other. Expenses, then this is indeed a good place to live.

In other words, everything is expensive here...

In a tavern facing the street, Adam ate two mouthfuls of this shop's imitation snow wolf clan cold food skewers, each mouthful seemed to be eating coins...

"A pot of skewers in Anas City costs only one silver coin, but here it becomes five silver coins per pot, which is five times more expensive." The alchemist companion from the forest elves is the richest of the group of four. The rich guy was also speechless while eating, "The same sauce and hot and sour soup have similar ingredients. It's a shame that the dungeon dared to sell it at such an expensive price."

The human treasure hunter was reluctant to order such an expensive cold pot string, and was snoring powder, hearing this and said with a smile: "Not every dungeon is expensive, there is a food store run by grassland people on the site of the scythe of the abyss, This kind of cold pot skewers only costs one silver coin. However, there is a ration of food sold in that store every day, and most of them are digested by the dark elves themselves, so it is difficult for outsiders to buy."

Adam pretended to be surprised to listen to the treasure hunter's talk, and he was very disdainful in his heart (￣_,￣)... What is a silver coin and a pot called cheap? !The canteen of Huoyanbu only costs 35 copper coins for a pot of skewers!

A fragrant pot that is more delicious than skewers and can feed three to four people, 75 copper coins!

Sigh... If I had known earlier, I wouldn't be trying to save face like an alchemist. Although the money spent was the "event fund" given by that demon Ayun, it still hurts to pay it from my own hands!

To solve the stomach problem, a group of four went to the hotel street to find a place to stay. The human treasure hunter, who is a regular visitor to the dungeon, took the newly formed group of companions to the cheapest and best store—only two for each room. Silver coin family hotel run by a couple.

The barbarian plant hunter looked pleasantly surprised: "You are really good, you know the store that is hidden so deep. Last time when I came to the dungeon with another group, the store I stayed in charged four and a half silver coins every day. The environment is poor and the attitude of the owner is quite bad.”

The human treasure hunter smiled triumphantly: "When spending money in the dungeon, you must go to the shop run by the relatives of everyone in the local block. The owner of this shop is a distant relative of everyone in this hotel street, and their family does not have to pay high security fees." fee, so it can be so cheap."

Looking at the joyful faces of his new companions, Adam felt a stomachache to the point of internal injuries—the dormitory of the Fire Department is indeed quite crowded, with more than ten people living in one room, but they are free, and they also provide hot water for bathing and washing utensils. The bed was still hot!

It's just... I'm used to living in the Fire Department, so I don't like going out to see anything!

The two casters booked a room, and the barbarians and the human races shared one room; it wasn't that everyone was so particular and didn't want to save money, but that there were only two beds in each room, and the beds were so small that they could only accommodate one. people turn over...

Tall barbarians sleep on this kind of small bed, with their feet hanging outside...

At any rate, he settled down, and Adam was thinking about looking for an opportunity to make friends with the treasure hunter of the same clan, to see if he knew how to contact those who secretly stole mines from the underground world, and this treasure hunter came to the door by himself.

"The big market in the dungeon is held every three days, and tomorrow will be the opening time. Anyway, I have nothing to do today, why don't I show you the new things in the dungeon." The old fritter winked at the two spellcasters Crazy hints.

The green-skinned elf alchemist readily agreed, and Adam pretended to “get into the car” pretending to be curious, with the mentality of building a relationship with this fellow.

Then the two casters and one barbarian were taken to the Grand Theater of the Dungeon by the treasure hunters.

In order to maintain the force of the spellcaster, Adam endured the heartache and partnered with the alchemist to set up a small VIP room (after all, they are relatively rich). After the play on the stage started, he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood...

The play performed on the stage by dark elf actors turned out to be Sheriff Holmes!

These shameless dark elves plagiarized wildly... No, they copied all the repertoires of the Robbins Troupe, and even copied the second part, "A Study in Scarlet by Sheriff Holmes"! !

Hmm... Although this second part is a story that a black wolf cub copied the classic reasoning on the earth, only slightly changed the details, and changed it into a story that fits the background of this world... But anyway, the reasoning readers on the earth also There is no way to spread plagiarism across dimensions... cough cough cough cough!

In short, Adam, who is sitting in the VIP seat at the moment, has the confidence to denounce the dark elf's shameless robber behavior, especially for the fact that the dark elf actor who plays Holmes is too handsome and the dark elf actor who plays Watson is not fat enough. Serious "OOC" protagonist character design, disrespect for genuine behavior greatly despised!

After finishing the three-hour drama (drama), when he walked out of the theater and walked back to the hotel, the green skin elf alchemist still sighed: "Our theater troupe only rehearsed the first part of "Magistrate Holmes", the first part The second part hasn't been staged yet, but I saw the second part from the Dark Elf."

"..." Adam looked at the green-skinned pointed ears with a blank expression, so you forest elves are very confident in plagiarizing, aren't you...

"Last year, I watched the first film at Valentine. I think it would be more interesting if the actors starring Holmes and Watson were played by humans." The young and energetic Adam immediately expressed his dissatisfaction tactfully.

"That's true." The alchemist actually echoed, "Whether the actor's image fits the role positioning has a great impact on the viewing experience when watching. So our theater troupe specially found two human races with matching images from the vassal human races. Come to play the leading role, without messing around like the dark elves."

This guy actually looks proud...

Adam was too lazy to talk to him...

The alchemist didn't notice it, and said appreciatively: "The plot of the second part is indeed more exciting than the first one. If nothing happens, I will watch it again in the future, write down the lines, and bring them back to our theater troupe." , and let people in my hometown enjoy this play.”

Adam turned his face away directly...

No wonder Ayun never thinks that you elves have a tall image!

The human treasure hunter has been squatting in the dungeon for a long time, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with the drama of his hometown in the southern continent being plagiarized and staged in the dungeon. After chatting with the alchemist for a long time, he suddenly thought of something. Said: "Have you read this issue of "Travel to the Mainland"? This time, your forest elf ranger Kleist and the snow werewolf Hongye went to the Far East to teach the local orcs to forge harvesters for harvesting wheat and soybeans. It looks really powerful, the forest elves are not much worse than the dwarves in terms of metallurgy."

Adam really couldn't bear this fellow's constant disagreement with him, so he said tactfully again: "If I remember correctly, the wheat bean harvester seems to be invented by Mr. Xiao En from the Kingdom of Cronin?"

"It's like this." The forest elf alchemist didn't notice Adam's emotions at all, and nodded naturally, "We forest elves are not good at making machines, and that travel note is just the Yi of the snow werewolves Ayun and Anas." Flynn announced it to the public through the mouth of the forest elves."

Adam seemed to have punched the cotton with a punch, and held back for a long time with a pale face before he suppressed the blood in his heart.

"Yeah, I just paid attention to the story and didn't pay attention to these." The human treasure hunter actually laughed heartlessly.

Adam felt that this fellow man was hopeless... He began to wonder if his previous idea of ​​making friends with this dungeon veteran was too stupid.

But obviously——as Xiao Yun said, he is still too young, and he is still too superficial.

The next day, the big market in the dungeon opened, and individual adventurers, teams, and gold owners who sold their harvest poured into the market one after another. The forest elf alchemist took the plant hunter and treasure hunter to accompany Adam, and went into the market separately. in.

Treasure hunters intentionally or unintentionally brought Adam to a trading area full of human races. After completing a transaction and seeing Adam put a large amount of goods into the space ring with his own eyes, the treasure hunter found a chance to get close to Adam's ears. Bian, lowering his voice: "Hey, let me say... are you interested in doing some extra money?"

Adam didn't hear clearly at first, and looked at the other party suspiciously.

The treasure hunter winked at Adam to keep quiet, and lowered his voice: "To tell you the truth, I have a piece of information about hidden mines. The location is very remote, and the dark elves haven't found it. I just want to hide it under the eyes of the dark elves." It’s a little difficult to bring out a large amount of ore—how about it, shall we partner up to make this money?”

Adam: "..."

He suddenly understood a little bit why Ah Yun asked him to bring space props, and specifically told him to try his best to contact the old fritters of the human race who were begging for a living in the dungeon; Young people come to do this job.

Young people are (seemingly) easier to cheat!

Squatting down in the dungeon to secretly collect dark elf wool old fritters, looking for "partners" of young spellcasters like them who are fledgling and have ventured into the world alone, even if something happens, they will sell easily!

Adam felt like a fucking dog, neither angry nor surprised...

Central steppe.

After more than a month of trekking and hurrying, Yu and Xiaohua finally arrived at the royal court of the tiger clan led by Yu and Xiaohua.

Looking at the building complex that is only slightly smaller than the Fire Department from a distance, but much rougher and less elegant, and the layout is not good, the Snow Werewolf didn't feel much, and neither did Chief Arthur, who had been to the royal court before. , and almost defected to the royal court because of a mistake, Xia was full of emotions.

The closer he got, the more clearly he found the loneliness and dilapidation of this once glorious prairie city, the more complicated Xia's mood became.

Because of his natural ambition, he has suffered more than others over the years-compared to the smooth sailing of Yugu, Qingyan and others, he can be said to have stumbled all the way; Later, he made some achievements, and moved Xiao Yun's nest (in fact, other people were also moved, such as Qingyan was moved from the hilly new area that had worked so hard to open up wasteland, but this guy only saw himself); finally his position can be compared Once he stabilized, Rosemary and the patriarch Arthur appeared one after another around him, who were either eyeing him to make him look good, or being more popular than him without too much effort.

Others are trained to become talents and show their abilities, so they can be placed in a position where they can give full play to their talents, and they can just do things well without worrying about anything; as for Xia, he thinks of which position he must strive for and perform hard, even if Sitting on it, there are obstacles around the body...

But in this moment, Xia was immensely grateful for his ambition.

If it wasn't for the fact that he was not willing to "become the tail of the phoenix" and refused to join the royal court of the Tiger Clan, then his fate would have been hard to say—the Tiger Clan would be in danger, and the centaur would have exchanged it with the Huoyan Department for food two years earlier. Well, can the cat tribe who hang out with them have a good end?

There was a large team of hundreds of people, most of which were wolf-shaped warriors carrying heavy supplies. Such a huge team was getting closer, which naturally alarmed the people left behind in the royal court.

First, two Tiger Clan warriors patrolling around the royal court discovered the approaching snow werewolves, and hurriedly ran back to report. Ten minutes later, two tents of Tiger Clan warriors appeared on the inner side of the royal court wall, staring vigilantly at them. The snow wolf warriors who approached openly and made no secret of their whereabouts.

500 meters, 300 meters, 100 meters.Yu raised his hand to stop the large army, and turned to look at Xiaohua.

Xiaohua nodded to show her understanding, and Yu walked forward alone with the spear in hand, and stopped only 50 meters away from the city wall of Wangting.

Looking at more than 20 tiger heads for a few seconds, Yu said in a deep voice: "The royal court should have a central tent to stay behind, where is the central tent?"
