111. The fate of the goblins
Bundles of hemostatic grass were carried into the underground storage room by the strong orcs through the portal, neatly stacked together, the strong orcs were very efficient, coupled with the large number of people, it didn't take long to fill the entire storage room like those elementary magic herbs, and then quietly walked into the portal and returned to the underground cave to standby.

Karantso stood quietly beside me, and as the orcs passed in front of her, she slapped the orc warrior on the solid shoulder.
When they met Karantso's eyes, the young orcs had a look of awe on their faces, and they could see that she had done a good job as a leader, and that she had a high prestige among the orcs.
The only thing left in the door of the storage room was Karaantso and me, and she looked at me with burning eyes, biting her lip lightly, with a misty smile on her face, suddenly leaned in front of me, rubbed her soft lips lightly on my face, and then turned and stepped silently into the portal.
"Hey, if you can't sleep, would you mind having a cup of tea?" I said to her, leaning against the door of the pantry.
Karantso had one foot already crossed into the portal, but she was very agile and retracted, her eyes regained some light, and then she looked around with a smile, the storage room was already full of herbs, except for the place where the portal was placed, there was only a narrow passage left, and she asked me suspiciously, "Here?"
I pointed to the passage of the pantry and said, "There's a living room up there, sit down for a while, and I'll be ready in no time!"
After that, I turned around and ran up the stone steps, went into the kitchen, looked for a kettle to boil water in the cupboard, the owner of this room left us with all the necessities, including some basic kitchen utensils, and soon I turned over a copper kettle, I tried to find the faucet on the sink, and when I opened it, I found that there was water, and clear water was gurgling out of the faucet.
Unfold a 'Gathering Fire Scroll' and place it on the stove, the flame burns, and the kettle is placed firmly on the stove, the red flame is like a big hand, holding the copper kettle steadily.
Now I needed to sit quietly and wait for the water in the kettle to boil, I exhaled softly, clapped my hands and was about to turn around and walk out of the kitchen, only to find Karantso standing with her hands on her chest against the door, her eyes full of nostalgia, which was the remembrance and attachment to her past life.
I didn't bother her, I pulled out a bag of sun-dried wild chrysanthemums from my magic backpack, twisted two of them into the teapot, and poured some honey into it.
The water in the teapot was quickly boiled, and the hissing sound of the kettle woke up Karantso, who was lost in thought, and she hurriedly approached to remove the copper kettle from the stove, but I stopped her.
"Wait, the water hasn't boiled yet, the water hasn't boiled when the kettle rings, and the sound of the kettle will stop when the water boils!" I said to Karantso, and the hissing sound of the kettle quickly became smaller, and white water vapor erupted from the spout and lid, and I quickly took the copper kettle off the stove, poured boiling water into the teapot where the wild chrysanthemums were placed, and the chrysanthemum tea with a faint sweet smell was flushed out.
Karantso stroked his sideburns and sat quietly across from me, looking at the tea with an expectant face. She rarely shows such a weak side, probably just me and her here, and without the orcs in those orc villages, she doesn't have to maintain that majesty.
"What's wrong with you, what are you thinking?" I asked her, pushing a cup of tea down in front of her, she was a little emotionally unstable tonight.
"I remember that in the past, Ella and I also lived in such a beautiful house, this atmosphere is very warm, Ella asked me a few days ago: Mom, when can we go back to our home in El City?
I was stunned, I didn't know how to answer for a while, and after thinking about it, I said: "I'm afraid it's not easy to go back to El City, if she wants, she can live here forever, I have already rented this house." After all, she is different from those orc children, she should be educated by the Grimm Empire, learn some new knowledge, she is a very intelligent child. If she wants to, I'll do it!"
Karantso took my hand with some excitement and kissed the back of my hand reverently, his eyes moistening a little.
I gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with my other hand, and asked her with a smile, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, sometimes I just want to cry, just let me cry,!" Karantso's eyes were a little red, and she was a little embarrassed to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then smiled at me, she pursed her sexy lips and smiled brightly, and then said to me: "Ella will be crazy to hear this, she doesn't like to herd sheep very much, and she doesn't like to use slings, she is different from other orc children, she always has something strange in her head." ā
"Then it's decided, let her live here, and find a school in my name for her to study. "I finally finalized it.
As precocious as other orc children, seven-year-old Ella already has the ability to live on her own, and she can take good care of herself, which is unimaginable for the children of noble families in the imperial capital. However, in the imperial capital, those children of civilian families are almost like Ella, who usually help the family with some housework within their ability.
......
It was getting late, but neither Karantso nor I seemed to be sleepy, there was no light in the room, and the snowy moonlight poured into the living room floor from the window, and a piece of the word "field" clearly appeared, and the silver light was completely divided into four parts.
It's quiet outside, with only a few wildcats whimpering in the park in the distance, and this season is the time for them to find a mate.
Sitting on the sofa and looking out the window, the entire imperial capital was immersed in the silver moonlight this night, and it became very hazy.
Karantso was like a lazy kitten curled up on the sofa, and I discussed the current problems in the Xinliu Valley without a word: "Jijia, why should we build a mountain city halfway up the mountainside, where there are only goblins hiding underground except for us orcs, do those goblins dare to resist the punishment of heaven and run to the ground?"
I sat up straight from the couch and said carefully, "Of course goblins don't come to the surface. This mountain city is not used to defend against these goblins, but against those unknown enemies in the future. In fact, I have always thought that the valley here is in the turbulence of time and space, and it is a small world of its own, but, you see, in fact, I followed the students of the academy, taking advantage of the calm period of the turbulent tide of time and space, and crossed the portal door on the ivory tower in Sloit Province together, so I had the opportunity to come here. ā
"The portal to the Willow Valley in the ivory tower is only unusable because of the huge space-time turbulence formed by the tide of time. But once every ten years, during the tidal lull of time, many of the Wizards and Warriors of the Sloit Province will flood into the Valley of the Willows, and they will be the most shameless bandits, and they will loot everything in this valley, in fact, I was one of them, and I did the same at the beginning. ā
"I've been thinking that since the archmage of the human race has successfully discovered this place and opened the portal gate, then the great powers of other races must also have the ability to open the portal portal. It's like the demon bird in the Hell Realm, the flesh gate formed by its body just falls in the cave of the Xinliu Valley, if it is not discovered by me, once the flesh passage becomes mature, those little demons will continue to crawl over from the Hell Realm. ā
"Those little demons are not scary to us, but there will be some powerful creatures that will come to Xinliu Valley in some way, and we need a mountain city to defend against foreign invasions. ā
"And after I entered the Xinliu Valley with the academy and found a one-way portal, in fact, I was also very worried about whether there were outsiders like us in those floating mountains, in fact, this is what I was worried about. Maybe it would be safer to have a strong mountain town!"
I revealed to Karantso some of my intentions for building a mountain city.
Then I said, "Another point is the domestication of the barbarian slaves." ā
I said to Karantso, "The barbarians are rough in nature, but they are inherently powerful, and in their eyes the heavy labor is as simple as breathing, and digging the rocks is not a chore for them at all, and a barbarian slave is worth ten orc laborers, and they do not have much difficulty climbing the mountain with stones on their backs, although they eat a little more, and now there are not a lot of sweet potatoes planted around the orc villages? ā
In the past few winters, he has been capturing barbarians, sending them to the Xinliu Valley, putting on slave collars, writing the names of slave owners, and turning them into a group of barbarian slaves.
These barbarian slaves had carved rocks at the foot of the circular valley, and in three years, they had already laid the foundations of the outer contours of the mountain city.
I went on to say, "Wouldn't it be nice to let them dig the stones at the foot of the mountain? they can mine some useful stones, and polish their original wildness, and we will use that mountain town in the end, I just have to make some preparations in advance!"
Karantso asked me, "Are you worried about those outsiders?, the demons of hell, the undead, the spider-men of the dark forces?"
I said, "Probably so, but I'm actually taking precautions." ā
Karantso then changed the subject, and talked about the goblins: "That's all for later, let's talk about the goblins right now! The goblins are the most disgusting dwarfs I've ever seen, even more disgusting than the gray dwarf robbers, and I want to kill them all! ā
I asked Karantso, "What do you have a good idea?"
Karantso didn't hesitate, and directly said the battle plan that was good: "Of course, take the orc warriors all the way along the underground cave, and kill all the goblins they see!" In the past two months, they have not been able to take out more magic copper, and the magic metal here has been emptied by them." ā
I shook my head and said, "This is not good, if the goblins fight up, there are also some means, you will inevitably have some casualties, there are not many orcs in the village, and the life of every warrior is very precious." ā
Karantso threw me the question: "Then what do you have to do?"
I pondered my head for a while, in fact, I already had a not too glorious countermeasure in my heart, and after thinking about it for a while, I decided to say it: "Well, I know that there is an oil called corpse fire oil, which can refine a very powerful 'fire bomb', that kind of corpse fire oil can burn strongly, and it is difficult to extinguish. All you have to do is drive the goblins into the huge caverns, seal the mouth of the cave with stones, and then throw the fire bullets into them and burn them to death. ā
Karantso looked at me with a blank expression, obviously frightened by my idea, and sealed the cave and burned the goblins alive in a somewhat vicious way.
"Also, to prevent the goblins from digging tunnels underground. The goblins are already salivating over the golden cider, and I don't want it to be emptied of all of them, it takes a little bit of listening. I leaned down and laid a piece of parchment on it, then drew a diagram of the location of the underground cave, and drew a slender hollow metal pipe on the parchment, and explained to Karantso: "Just insert two-thirds of the length of this two-meter-long steel pipe into the rock wall of the cave and arrange it according to my distribution map, so that whenever there is a sound of tunneling underground, it will be transmitted through the hollow metal pipe, and as long as the location of the tunnel can be determined, it will be easy to do." ā
Karantso was very curious about these novelties.
Later, we talked about customizing some armor for orc warriors, leather light armor can't stop poison needles and flying spears, those orc warriors need ordinary scale armor or chain mail, and they also need to customize some flying spears, I think we should add some magic metal with sharp attributes to the tip of the spear.
Before I knew it, I was asleep on the couch.
When I was awakened by the neighing of scaly horses, I felt that the sky had brightened outside.
Like a female leopard, Karantso jumped up from the sofa, carrying a hunting bow, and stood calmly by the window, shielding himself with the white curtains, and looked out vigilantly.
