Chapter 42: The Lord's Palace
"Shaman, wake up, wake up!" In a daze, Olipas felt as if he was being shaken, and when he tried to open his eyes, he saw several camel men with torches around him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"What's going on?" The half-elf asked curiously.
"You have been missing for two days," replied the camel man, "and that night, when the chief returned from taking us to drink water, found that you were missing, and immediately ordered the men to go to the various tunnels to look for you. β
"Well, I was chasing you after you that day, and then I accidentally got lost, and then I ......," Oripas tried to recall, but he couldn't remember what he had done during this time, "By the way, I seem to remember that I found a large treasure underground, and there was my share in it." β
"Phew!" When he reached the ground, the chief listened to the half-elf, "I see that you have no food or drink, you are hungry and thirsty, and you are hallucinating. Can't you think of anything other than getting rich? β
"Oh, Captain, what does the water source you found look like?"
"There was a spring in the ground, and we not only drank to our heart's content, but also filled a lot of wooden basins and brought it up." The minotaur suddenly remembered something, and began to blame the half-elf again, "It's all you stupid who sold so many barrels to that praying mantis, otherwise how good it would be for us to use the barrels to fill water after drinking." β
"Captain, I want water," Oripas replied weakly.
Someone immediately brought him a wooden basin, and the shaman reached out and put it in his mouth, "Hey, why is this water a little salty?" β
"It's rare and weird, groundwater is rich in minerals, it's normal to have salt, and it's more nutritious." His Excellency replied disdainfully.
Immediately after drinking and eating, the shaman went to worship the totem and prayed to speed up the growth of the wheat. After a round of rituals, the wheat in the field quickly grew in the wind, and of course there was a shout of excitement from the tribe.
"I heard there's been an acid rain here?" The chief said thoughtfully, "It seems that the climatic conditions in this area are very bad, and if we do it again, won't our crops be completely gone?" β
The shaman continued to turn to his ancestors for help, and soon responded, "Captain, I can now issue a weather forecast for the next ten days, and once I see a large sulfur cloud approaching, I can call in a strong wind to blow them away. β
"That's good," the minotaur rubbed his hands, "now that the construction of the dungeon is over, let's build a lord's palace on the ground." β
"That's just as well." The half-elves don't like to live underground, thinking that acid rain can be prevented in advance, and they also look forward to restoring surface accommodation.
While the Minotaur led everyone to work, Oripas was in no hurry to leave the totem pole. Somehow, he felt that his 'shining silver' left arm seemed to contain many secrets, and under the aura of his ancestors, he gradually realized that this arm was like a magic crystal that permanently solidified spells, and it was superimposed with various commonly used low-level categories, as long as it was pre-charged, it could be used instantly when needed. At the same time, this arm is also faster and more effective than before when casting spells normally.
"There are still some of the Kuroshio Devilfish who refuse to move away, how can we move their savings?" Xiao Xing thought that there were still many black fish attached to wealth yesterday, and they refused to migrate with the brigade, "Are we really going to come to the door with great ferocity and exterminate them?" β
"The old rule, provide clues to the magic fish, and solve them by the hands of adventurers." Xiao Qing said lightly, "This matter is not in a hurry, let's wait for the bull-headed tribe on the ground to be eradicated." β
"The most regrettable thing is that such a large piece of crystal was buried in the rock layer like this." Fu'er said with a sigh.
"So, can we invite Jizo-kun now?" Xiao You opened his mouth and said, "As long as Jizo-kun goes out, he must be able to solve these guys easily." β
"Brother, are you sure that their fortunes have no effect on Jizo-kun?"
"The fifth and seventh planets are incompatible, the creatures from these two planets are not affected by each other, and the qi of the Minotaur Realm can only suppress the creatures of this planet according to the principle of territoriality." Xiao You smiled, "Since the establishment of this tribe, there have only been two camels and one hand that have died, except for one camel and one hand that were eaten by the lizards of civil strife, how did the other camel die?" β
"By the way, they chased us because a camel was sucked dry by the Heavenly King." Xiao Xing suddenly realized, "Since the Heavenly Monarch ignores their good fortune, the Jizo-jun is naturally the same. β
"In this way, as soon as Jizo-kun arrives, they will be wiped out." Xiao Qing said, "Let's help this tribe do something in the past few days, death row prisoners also have to eat a good meal in the end." β
Olipas felt very strange, this time he came to ask Xiao You to help preside over the construction of the lord's palace, he actually agreed very happily, and the minotaur was happy to praise the village for all the good children who love the country.
Under Amadero's hard work, a circle of square trenches and tens of feet deep soon appeared on the ground. Of course, for the cost of excavating the foundation, Fu'er unceremoniously took away five more magic crystals.
The chief drove the undead servants to dig a large amount of hard stone in the underground rock formations and transport it to the surface as a base for laying. The stake fence wall of the past was nothing like papier-mΓ’chΓ© in the face of powerful monsters, and His Excellency the Duke decided that he would no longer trust wood, and only stones could make him feel that they would serve a certain defensive effect.
However, the pace of construction is much slower. This kind of white black rock with high hardness is difficult to mine, and it has to be cut into plates that meet the needs, whether it is the undead who are excavated for the first time, or the camel people who are further processing, it is almost a tool that is worn in half a day. If it weren't for the crazy stone chiseling of the Minotaur with one hundred, the construction of the lord's mansion would be far away.
After five days, the Duchy's laborers had completed the stone slabs along the foundation, which were only three feet high. At this time, whether it is on the ground or underground, there are still dozens of feet of stone walls to be piled up, and at the current progress, counting the wear and tear of the tools, I am afraid that it will not be completed in another hundred days.
"Lord Duke," Xiaoxing ran to Clark with a grin, "I have good things here, do you want them?" β
"Sister Xiaoxing, you go to the side to play, I have something very important to do now." The Minotaur gripped his double-sided axe and was about to slash at a massive rock.
"Stupid, this thing of mine is of great help to you," Xiaoxing stomped his foot, "This is a high-level magic weapon that turns dirt into rock, don't pull it down!" β
"Ah, there will be such a good thing?" The half-elf leaned over and looked at the few white scrolls in Xiao Xing's hand, "You're not lying, are you?" β
"Ahem," Xiao Yu explained on the side, "This is an heirloom in our family, and I have never been willing to use it, but in order to support national construction, I finally mobilized my family to take it out." β
"When you say that, I'm relieved." His Excellency the Duke was very happy, "I am very touched to see your patriotic passion. β
"Ten crystals on one scroll, no two prices!" Xiaoxing raised his fingers, "You can't go hungry if you are patriotic, you can do it." β
So forty magic crystals fell into Xiaoxing's hands.
"There are the last twenty left," Auripas counted the remaining crystals painfully, "this is the last monetary reserve of the treasury, and I have decided to seal it all away, and not to use it for any reason!" β
The Minotaur led the group to ram the foundation into a high wall of earth on all sides, and after the scroll was used, the white light quickly turned the mud wall into a solid rock wall.
"Do you have any family heirlooms?" The Chief seemed to be very fond of this magic that could turn decay into magic.
"Just use rocks for the exterior walls," Xiao Yu shook his head, "The foundation and frame of your mansion are solid enough, and the houses inside should pay attention to the comfort and convenience of life, and it is ugly to be built entirely of rough rocks." β
His Excellency felt that it was reasonable, and immediately summoned his subordinates to build a comfortable, convenient, beautiful, and neat residence. It didn't take long for dozens of gray tents to appear in the interior walls, and the pillars were made of wood removed from the original wooden houses and carts, and then spread a strong thick cloth along the wooden frame to the ground, and the corners were fixed with nails, and then sewn the base cloth on the ground, and the new houses of the tribesmen were settled.
The completed Lord's Mansion is much larger than the original cottage, with a tall totem pole now standing in the center of the mansion and the entrance to the underground tunnel in the corner of the interior wall. The children's dilapidated houses were also encased in rock walls, and the Minotaurs were very happy about this, believing that they could safer the next generation of the country.
After doing all this, before he had time to rest, the principality ran into another matter that needed manpower.
The wheat is ripe.
