Wolf King

"The limestone mined from the ground was brought back and calcined here."

Xiao Yun took out a piece of calcined white solid lime from the cooled cement kiln, squeezed it lightly with his hands, and the lime shattered in response.

"After calcination, this will become brittle, which is good for breaking and grinding. Add other things and then mix it with water. It will become as strong as a stone again. Interesting?"

Balk looked a little wooden, nodded, and couldn't help but move his eyes to the neatly stacked bricks. It turns out that this kind of building materials that are neatly stacked like stones is made in this way...

Xiao Yun was also a little curious about what this guy had learned from the goblins, so that he didn't run to the dusty construction site paralyzed like an old man after work was over.

"Balk, are you interested in how we use limestone?"

"Uh... yes." Balk's eyes wandered, absent-mindedly.

"Okay, come with me if you want to see it."

When there are too many people, it is convenient to make any arrangements. The alfalfa has entered the batch harvesting period, and there is no need for the whole family to be in chaos in order to harvest pastures like last year. The river embankment was strengthened in advance.

On the base of the mud-brick river embankment built last year, a three-meter-wide foundation was dug on the north bank side, and after pouring cement gravel, a thick embankment with a width of three meters five meters and a height of two meters was built with cement bricks, facing north from the river. The corner is repaired close to the low-lying marsh drainage. When the embankment is completed, the grain and vegetable fields on the north bank will no longer have to worry about flooding the golden mountains for at least ten years.

Such a river embankment project is really nothing on earth, but the world here is astonishing... The first section of river embankment completed by the engineering team is about 160 meters long. Uh, we still Be careful, the small cement dam, it shocked Balck when he came up.

"This, this is... this... when was this repaired?" Balk couldn't care less about Duanlong's arrogance.

"It started to be repaired the day you came. The big guy in front is not familiar with the business. It took more than 20 days to repair this section." Xiao Yun had a toothache when he mentioned the progress. Work harder, there's still a long way to go to fix it."

"..." Balke could hear the unhappiness in Xiao Yun's tone coming from the heart, which made him speechless... He still looked very dissatisfied with building such a magnificent embankment in such a short period of time, what are you doing? !Then his castle took hundreds of years to complete. Wouldn't it mean that he didn't even want to make a dragon? !

Inwardly, Balk's body is very honest...Walking to the magnificent embankment, he stretched out his hand to touch the slope facing the north facing with cement and stones, the smoothness of the hands and the walls of the house exactly the same.

...Those houses were indeed built with limestone dug by goblins.Balk murmured a sentence in his heart, and was very tired to find that the embankment built by others was thicker than the wall of his castle...

"Balk?"

"I didn't admit it!" Balk was surprised.

Xiao Yun was at a loss: "...Admit it? Admit what?"

"It's nothing, I'm hungry, let's go back to the tribe." Balk blushed, turned his head, and walked away quickly.

Xiao Yun: "??"

That night, Balk, who was lying on the bunk in Datong, hugging the cub cub, couldn't fall asleep. His mind was always thinking about the daytime... No, he didn't realize it until now. , The fact that I didn't notice because of my arrogance before:

The goblins mined limestone, and the snow werewolves transported the limestone back to the tribe, put it into the ugly-looking "kiln", burned it into a white block with coal, and then processed it into cement, made it into bricks, and built a neat structure. Qi's house, and the kind of river embankment that is stronger and thicker than his castle wall.

What does this mean? It means that if the Snow Wolf Clan wants to build a castle, it only takes a short time for them to build a castle that is even more spectacular than the lair they are proud of...

Balk really felt that it was quite boring. He knew that his castle could not compare with the buildings of elves, humans, and orcs. , This kind of prairie tribe, which is recognized as the poorest, can actually leave him behind to eat ashes? !

...Is it really——goblin-related?Balk felt that the nerves on his forehead were jumping. Compared with the snow wolves, he, the great green dragon, lost to the goblins? !

Balk began to feel uncomfortable, it was those humble ant-like goblins who had never been valued before, which made him lose face...

He suddenly stretched out his hand to gently move away the snoring manul lying on his body, sat up facing the wall, and held his head in his hands.

Races with a long lifespan value correct inheritance of knowledge, as do the elves, and so do the dragons; as a green dragon, Balk can't deceive himself—a humble goblin like an ant can move mountains, and he can also do things. It's a race that's done something great, and it's also a race that's working hard to survive, and it's also better than the great dragon race... It conflicts with his worldview, okay?His whole dragon is about to split up hot~~

After facing the wall for a few minutes, Balk's eyes suddenly lit up.

Why didn't he think of it—it wasn't that he was wrong, but that the bastard Auston passed on the wrong inheritance! !

The bastard Oston doesn't know anything about goblins, no, other races~!

Snow wolves are not poor in talent. They can create jewelry and goddess statues that are perfect works of art, know how to build houses, and know how to produce food; dwarves are not only worth slaves, they are also competent labor when the snow wolves are farming ( Xiao Yunyu); goblins are not just reptiles, this weak and vulnerable race is not the kind of waste that Auston thought... Has that idiot Auston ever eaten bean curd?Without the wild garlic collected by the goblins, the flavor of the bean curd would drop a lot!

Balk instantly revived with full blood, it really wasn't my fault, it was all Auston's fault!

It took Xiao Yun two days to discover the relatively subtle change that appeared in Balke. This guy with an upturned nose is willing to lower his head to look at people. Isn't he willing to give people a good face when he is being flattered?

Hmm... Although this "good face" is hard to describe, it is as embarrassing as the "natural" smile when social phobia is in a carnival party...

"... Xiami really teased the evil dragon, but this efficiency is too high?" Xiao Yun himself is not sure, it is not easy to change a person's bad nature, let alone change a dragon, what kind of stimulation did Balk receive? Attitude changed so quickly?

No matter what you say, you have to confirm this matter. During the break at noon, Xiao Yun went to Balk to chat his teeth. situation.

Hmm...Xiao Yun is not a devil after all, no matter how busy he is, he still has to give half an hour to rest after meals, so as not to suffer from any gastrointestinal problems and affect the quality of labor.

"... Now that I think about it, it's quite a coincidence. If it weren't for Hongye and Ashan who were careful and didn't hurt Baron and Gal who came to confirm that our tribe was still there, maybe we would have no fate with goblins... It can't be like this It will take at least a few years later to build so many buildings in the tribe." Xiao Yun recalled with emotion that at the time, out of the corner of his eye, he found that Balk's eyes were facing down and his ears were facing this way. Listening, "At that time, we took in goblins because of the small number of these little guys and the fact that they couldn't eat much. Who knew they would be so capable. Now I often feel that if there are more goblins, then We can also speed up the progress of the project... What do you think, Balk?"

"...Ah, um, I think so too." Balk said hastily.

Xiao Yun: "..." He had heard this sentence pattern from Patriarch Huoyan too many times, and immediately understood that this guy was just pretending to be listening, but he was actually distracted.

wrong!

and many more!

What kind of virtue is this product? "I want it all", cheeky, defiant, arrogant... is this guy willing to pretend "I'm listening"?

Xiao Yun couldn't help touching his chin, what stimulated this guy? !

"What?" Balk was taken aback by Xiao Yun's eyes.

Xiao Yun quickly restrained his smile, and showed a particularly caring (ba) heart (gua) elder face: "Balk, do you have something on your mind? We are best friends, if you have something that you can't figure out, encounter If there is any trouble, as your friend, I am willing to share your worries."

Balk hesitated for a moment, and the latter had the upper hand in his face and desire to speak out. This guy nodded embarrassingly, almost imperceptibly, moved his buttocks closer to Xiao Yun, and began to vent his dissatisfaction with Xiao Yun in a tone of reprimand. The dissatisfaction of a certain evil dragon, such as being told by an unscrupulous evil dragon when he was a child, "Fat and tender meat, sweet fruits and sweets can not be eaten by small dragons, only big dragons can eat", "Small dragons will be punished by others if they sneak out to play when a dragon is looking after the house." The painful experience of being coaxed around by excuses such as "catch the skewers" and "Xiaolong doesn't need to wear clothes and be naked" and other excuses.

Xiao Yun: "...(oyan o)"

What's the best thing to do while chatting with others?Talking bad about the third person is the best~ Balk, who has had such a pleasant experience for the first time in more than 1000 years of his life, has been taken by his father Oston to participate in the Dragon Clan party since he was a child, and the gold jewelry given to him by the elders of the clan was taken away as soon as he returned home. The father snatched it away, gave him clothes and a bag of salt when he was driven out, refused to give him a ration, and caused him to go to the prey of the monster with green eyes to satisfy his hunger and so on.

"..." Compassion slowly appeared in Xiao Yun's eyes. After being shocked, he intentionally agreed to help denounce the unscrupulous dragon Oston, and by the way, asked for information on the dragon clan. Not to mention, the rate of obtaining information this time was higher than that of Baer last time. Ke revealed even more when he broke down... Sure enough, anger can give people more strength than sadness!

"...It turns out that you have misunderstood some things because your knowledge comes from Auston's inheritance. Not only did that guy fail to fulfill his responsibility of nurturing, but he also failed in the most important knowledge inheritance of the Dragon Clan. After listening to Balk's complaint, Xiao Yun stood uprightly for him, and echoed him in accusing the unscrupulous dragon, "It really makes people wonder what to say. As a cub, there is no way to choose a father, but to choose a father." Passive birth... Balk, you are really not easy."

"That's why I hate that bastard so much!" Balk huffed.

"Fortunately, it's all over now, and you've gotten rid of that guy." Xiao Yun comforted him, "He can no longer control your life in the future, and the rest of the time belongs to you. Make up for what I lost, so that as your friend, I will feel at ease. As for the wrong inheritance of knowledge, it does not matter, you find the correct knowledge yourself, as your unique, true inheritance that surpasses Auston For the next generation, wouldn't it be great? I believe you can do it, and you can do it better than Auston."

Balke was excited, and imitated Xiao Yun's pat on the thigh: "That's right, I can definitely surpass that guy, my inheritance must be more valuable than that guy's inheritance!"

Xiao Yun talked about how happy Balk was, and deep down in his heart, he was sincerely thanking the green dragon Oston whom he had never met before—thank God for the assist!

If you are not such a fool, I really can't get your baby in a short time!

By saying bad things about people together, the spiritual distance between the two parties was shortened. That afternoon...Xiao Yun dragged his "best friend" into his work room——when there were more people in the prefab room, he took the production room. The pottery tools have been moved to the industrial area, so that people who come and go will not damage his basic embryos.

"I always think that the reason why dragons are powerful is because of their ability to control fire. All dragons have dragon breath magic, and the power of fire is the most magical in my opinion."

Putting out the life-scale pottery bust that he had pinched half before and didn't bother to finish it, while Balke's eyes and mouth rounded together, Xiao Yun vigorously started his brainwashing... er... mobilization work.

"Limestone can change its properties after calcination, and the same is true for clay. The principle of pottery is to make clay with different composition ratios, and put them in the flame for calcination to see which ratio can produce smoother and more durable pottery. Balk, Your statue of the Goddess of Life that was snatched by Oston was only accidentally burned out after we studied it for many years and tried countless ratios."

Balk nodded again and again. He had already realized that this bust, which could only see the general facial features, looked like a goddess of life. He was so excited that his breathing was a little short.

Xiao Yun suddenly turned around and slapped Balk on the shoulder (within 10cm difference in height), his serious expression made Balk jump: "We snow werewolves are a race that is not favored by the goddess of magic. Power is strange and ruthless to us. But you are different, Balk, you are the darling of magic, a dragon who is born powerful and naturally controls fire. If you come, you can definitely do what we snowwolves cannot do You will definitely be able to reach the unreachable heights of our snow werewolves."

"... Huh?" Balk swore that he really listened carefully this time, but he just didn't understand.

"I hope you can burn a perfect goddess statue." Xiao Yun said concisely.

"...Me?" Balk was confused.

"We, who are not favored by the flame, can burn out the semi-finished products like before. Of course, you, who are favored by the flame, can do better than us." Xiao Yun said confidently.

Balk told him so much that he thought he was a genius, and his expression became firm... Well, the problem of overconfidence in things that are half-understood is obviously not just a human patent.

"Then let's start. I will entrust you with all the experience we have gained from our tribe's research over the years, and we will entrust you with the impossibility of creating a perfect work." Xiao Yun smiled happily , I took out the algebra, graph area equation, and other math problems that Lan Guo had finally graduated from at the elementary school level.

Balk: "??"

"Using the power of flames to make a perfect statue of a goddess, of course, you must know how to design the golden ratio, the weight ratio of arms and decorations, and the size of the area... To be able to draw and calculate, I will try my best to find out these I will teach you my experience." Xiao Yun said very seriously.

"Okay!" Balk nodded briskly, ignorant and fearless.

This nod is priceless...

Among Balk's magic methods, Xiao Yun's most important thing is the material mimicry magic that can use magic to simulate the structure of a certain material that constitutes an object. This unscientific magic is used to study the properties of materials and test whether the mechanical power design can operate effectively. It's just a cheat, a big cheat, but... such a god-defying cheat, at least for now, can't be used at all, the reason is that Balk is ignorant - he is obviously a long-lived dragon, and his mathematical knowledge is limited to addition and subtraction Multiplication and division, he would have to be blind if he was to calculate the shadow area of ​​a triangular plate. Xiao Yun had provided a concept map just for thinking about it before, and the structure was too simple. Looking for an opportunity to supplement this stupid dragon's math knowledge, at least you have to be at the level of a high school student to be useful, right?

"That's the calculation...it's very simple, right? It's definitely not a big deal for the huge knowledge inheritance of the Dragon Clan."

"This is so easy..."

"This formula is so applied..."

"The shaded area between the triangular plate and the circle...you see, isn't it easy to calculate?"

"BALBABALBALA..."

No one knows what direction the fate of the green dragon Balk was brought by his dear friend on this day...

The tribe finished harvesting the alfalfa and Chinese cabbage, and the Chinese cabbage and radishes. After this round of harvesting, it will not be long until summer arrives, and they will start harvesting alfalfa again in batches...

Harvesting is always a joy, even if it is a sweet burden, it will fall quickly. Round after round of sowing and harvesting is mixed with the wailing of a green dragon, the arduous exploration process of trying to grow rice for the first time, and the length gradually exceeds 400 meters. The dam on the north bank of the river, the artificial river channel used for drainage and flood discharge after summer, the engineering team trying to design and build an arched bridge, the goblins and gray dwarves who are no longer afraid of Balk—and so on.

Summer on the prairie, when the average temperature (27-30 degrees) reached its highest point, and Balk, who was beaten to death by the iron fist of the math problem, raised his hands and signed up when Xiao Yun proposed to go to the coast to dry salt, requesting to undertake the flight transportation Work, I don't care at all about the offensive behavior of being used as a mount that the Dragon Clan hates so much... Xiao Yun was very moved by his initiative, and then took a roll of cloth that was washed to bleach and filled with hundreds of questions, and asked him to use it after work. Don't forget to do it.

The other people sitting in the open-air square were as quiet as a chicken... Whether it was Lan Guo who Xiao Yun asked to continue his studies, or the clansmen who had started night school literacy, just looking at Balke's miserable appearance, you can know how kind A Yun is to him , I don’t even dare to complain about the smoky horns on my head when I recite the ninety-nine multiplication.

Xiao Yun patted the ashen-faced Balk on the shoulder, and then turned his head to look at Ashan and Ayue, who were drying salt in the past, and other scumbags: "You also have problems, I have prepared the multiplication and division exercises for two-digit to three-digit numbers, Remember to do it during the salt drying period, and I will conduct spot checks when I come back, and if I can’t do it well, I will continue to learn from the beginning with Teacher Lan Guo, and I will continue to learn the same sentence until I become proficient.”

Ashan, Ayue and other students were stunned...

Balk saw that he was not the only one who was unlucky, and his complexion improved a lot.

Lan Guo... Teacher Lan Guo's head is as big as a bucket. Really, he understands why Ayun often loses control of his temper when teaching him. Almost every day, every day, I am so angry that my lungs are throbbing!

... Ayun must not want to teach everyone literacy, so he handed himself over to the teacher first!

Lan Guo, who had no expression on his face and was silently sad and angry in his heart, guessed the truth right away... Sure enough, people will become shrewd if they are deceived too much.

Considering that the students in the lower grades of elementary school are all better in mathematics than Chinese, Xiao Yun was not in a hurry to apply Chinese to Common Language for teaching, and let everyone learn mathematics alone, lest stuffing too many things at once would make the stupid The cute people's brains are broken.

The snow werewolf is going to have night classes, and the goblin, manul and gray dwarves are not left behind. After all, even in daily work, it is inevitable that there will be situations that need to be counted. It's a long time to wrench your fingers there.

This is also what makes Xiao Yun's stomach ache... let alone the rabbit mantle, admitting that the cat tribe is smarter is not a shameful thing, let alone the gray dwarves, after all, they are born skilled workers, but even goblins are better than What's the matter with the snow werewolf learning quickly!The youngest goblin can proficiently use three-digit multiplication and division, and the stupidest bull horn on Temaxue Werewolf's side is still smashing the nine-nine multiplication table!

Xiao Yun doesn't expect to be able to teach all his clansmen to become talents, but at least you have to know the minimum calculation ability!In the future, he will frequently deal with the outside world, especially human beings. Does he have to worry about whether these stupid and cute people will be cheated every time?

Hold back everything - learn from me!It's useless to cry, and it's useless to be cute!

Uh... As for others who have learned the multiplication and division of three-digit numbers but are tired of learning the basic courses over and over again due to the stupidity of the snow werewolf For these two hours, people are too busy~ Xiao Yun didn't become angry from embarrassment!

"What's the use of us learning this!" In order to avoid studying and leave his beloved chef at work, Da He hugged Ah Shan's thigh and was about to sneak out for "vacation". When no one else dared to speak, Da He angrily accused Xiao Yun.

"Of course it's to let you, a pig who can't even calculate how many catties of wheat flour and vegetables we consume in a meal, at least know how to count!" Others said, Xiao Yun was so angry when Dahe opened his mouth. He poked his head directly on the forehead of the girl (who was sitting on the ground), "Forget it if it's difficult for others to learn, are you a pig who doesn't want to learn as soon as you find it difficult, are you ashamed to complain? Ah? Are all the sugar and carbohydrates you absorb used to grow your face?" ? Ah? Can you leave some nutrition for your brain, it is almost starved to death and you are still here with BB?!"

As soon as Xiao Yun started spraying the big river, the other people sitting around the square got up and disbanded... Niu Jiao chased after Lan Guo with a bitter face and asked how to learn more easily and quickly, but Lan Guo covered his ears and walked away; the grassroots suggested Recently, Huoyan, who suffers from severe back pain, should stop farming with the young man and come to raise earthworms with her; Feather and Hongye went to the warehouse with Balk to count the waterproof bags for salt, and discussed how many bags are appropriate to bring.It's not that everyone has no sympathy for Dahe, but that everyone's learning process is equally difficult. If you can't learn it, your brain is slow and your comprehension is poor. Where is Dahe? Sleep soundly!

Lan Guo has such a good temper, how many times has he been so angry with Da He!

"Learning knowledge is to farm better and make a fortune better. Do you understand that knowledge creates wealth? Knowledge is the primary productive force, do you understand?! It is our tribe that hinders our farming and the prosperity of our tribe The common enemy, your laziness, slackness, and fear of the easy, is the biggest enemy of our tribe!!"

Xiao Yun's angry roar hovered over the Snow Wolf Tribe...
