348. The rights and interests of the barbarians
The Plane War had left the Imperial Capital market with such a scarcity of magical herbs that Qige's daily apothecary experiments had to be put on hold. Although the elves arrived from Buenos with a batch of magical herbs, the quota of magical herbs that could be allocated to the Magic Research Institute was extremely limited.
Qige's research results in potions over the years have been piled up by repeated experiments with a large number of magic herbs, and judging from the current situation, this kind of exclusionary experimental method will waste a lot of magic herbs. Although the trade of magical herbs between the town of Guruding in the Pai Plateau and the imperial capital is controlled by Kige, the Prince of Wales is about to set out, and a large number of magical herbs have been formulated into healing potions, which has made Kig idle in the past few days.
"Did Nizi really steal a magic crystal from home that records the magic of dragon language for you?" asked Kige, squinting his eyes and lying lazily in the soft chair.
Seeing me nodding, a smug smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, and I asked again: "Presumably that Nizi gave you the opportunity to learn that dragon magic, tell me what you have gained?"
I stretched out my hands helplessly, shrugged my shoulders and said, "She taught me to recite that spell word by word, but unfortunately I couldn't utter a single syllable. ”
"How's that rune metal plate workshop?" asked Kig leaning over me, a gap in the heart-shaped neckline of the wide magic robe, and I peeked in along my neck to see a white greasy, she looked at me with a smile, reached out and pulled at the collar, glanced at me, and said viciously, "Do you want me to pull the neckline bigger?"
I reluctantly retracted my gaze, there was no way to the brutal Miss Qi, my eyes inadvertently fell on the lizard maid Takama standing next to her, her cold face was slightly red, and she reached out vigilantly to cover her tight leather cuirass V-shape, the tight leather armor outlined the perfect figure, but today the V-shaped neckline on the chest of this tight armor is more open, revealing most of the furrows.
A magic rune metal plate is placed on the carved indigo wood small round table in front of Qi Ge, the pure gold magic pattern line on the rune board is only as wide as a leek leaf, and the pure gold solution is evenly smeared on the red copper plating, which looks exquisite, this is the best plan after hundreds of times of 'miniature tornado magic pattern array' drawing experiments, only on such a wide pure gold vein, it is found that the magician who is good at drawing rune metal plates can become a magic pattern magic pattern circle The success rate is controlled at more than 60%.
The mold in the rune board workshop will be rubbed according to the Adamantite Magic Pattern on this rune board, which is the Adamantite pattern on the rune board that will eventually be shaped like this.
I pondered for a moment and said to Kige, "The auction house is here this morning, and the matter is officially handed over to Lady Arya, and I promise her to make her our partner!"
"Her reputation in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital is not very good, I really don't understand what you like about her, spending so many twists and turns, for her would rather completely offend the Bussman family, tell me, is it worth it?" Qige supported her chin with one hand, the smooth silk of her magic robe covering the soft curves of her body, and she followed up and asked me, "Just because she is from the North?"
I looked up at Qige, and I didn't know how to explain it to her, so I asked her, "Would you like to go to Xinliu Valley to see it?"
"Now?" Qige asked me with a bright look in her eyes, apparently still interested in the secrets of the Willow Valley.
I nodded, and she sat up from the soft chair and asked me, "Okay, let me see what other things are hidden in your plane that is hidden in the reverse flow of time." But would you like to give you a little time to get ready in the first place?"
For Kige, never try to get anything cheap in front of her.
Every laboratory in the Institute of Magic has a break room like a secret room, and I pulled Kig into her lounge, which was very warmly furnished by her, and Kig told Takama to stay outside the lounge and closed the door casually.
Once again, she used the 'Time Breaker' to cut a portal, although Qige is no stranger to this portal, but every time she sees it, she reveals an unconcealed excitement, she does not wait for the portal to stabilize, and takes the lead in stepping into the portal, and I quickly follow closely behind.
The orc warrior guarding the altar landed on Qige, and before he could retract his gaze in astonishment, he saw me step out of the portal.
This cave of the altar was pressed by the dwarf Bernd on the large iron door, completely turned into an empty secret room, usually only two orc warriors here take turns to guard next to the altar, this is connected to Karantso's lounge, every time the portal is opened, the orc warriors guarding next to the altar will notify Karantso as soon as possible.
The orc warrior came to his senses when he saw me walk in, and looked at Kig suspiciously, and asked me what I was told.
I waved my hand to the two orc warriors and told them to stay by the portal, and Kig stood in front of the big iron gate, his flawless hand as white as mutton fat and jade pressed on the big iron door, turned his head and asked me, "This big iron gate is thick enough, but to build these two pure iron gates, there is no decoration in the slightest, so-called? What can it help you block?
Qige had three questions on her face, all of them seemed to be pointed, she flicked the fork on the big iron door, and then with a slight force in her palm, she easily pushed open the big iron door coated with grease on the door shaft, the iron door was very quiet, and there was no 'squeak' sound, I touched my nose and stood behind Qige, letting her break in at will, casually looking at the secrets in the Xinliu Valley.
"Actually, these two big iron gates are meant to prevent the greedy goblins from sneaking in, you see the fork design on the iron doors, just out of their reach, for the goblins in the rock caves, the two big iron doors here are their last barrier, I don't want the altar to be destroyed by those goblins!" I said after Kig.
"I want to see how the natives who have migrated from the Hiero plane are doing here?" Kig poked his head curiously behind the large iron gate, but was the first to see the orc female warrior Karanco running out of the lounge.
She wore a crusty bust on her upper body, which was like a corset with a corset, revealing a large area of wheat-colored skin on the front of her breasts, and rounded shoulders with feminine muscles, and her towering breasts almost burst the leather armor.
The lower body is only surrounded by a leather armor battle skirt, the strong and powerful round legs are revealed from the gap in the leather armor battle skirt, and the barefoot wearing long leather boots is full of the style of the orc tribe on the Pai Plateau.
Kige let out a sigh of admiration, he had seen the strength of Karantso a long time ago, and he was also very envious of me for being able to have two powerful and trustworthy orc warriors, Karantso and Ruka.
Karantso nodded slightly at Qige, then ran to my side and listened to me explain to her, 'We're just stopping by and wandering around the Willow Valley. 'I was relieved, if it weren't for my repeated insistence that there would be no more problems in the imperial capital, Karantso would have almost taken a team of orc warriors to protect me from sending his powerful followers to ambush me in private.
Behind the iron gate is no longer a messy construction site, the uneven and wet stone wall has become a clean and tidy stone wall, the stone floor is also polished very flat, the rock floor is carved with dense anti-skid nicks, and the foot of the stone wall on both sides of the cave wall is a drainage ditch, and every ten meters away there are supports like metal arches to prevent the rock cave from collapsing.
About a month ago, it was a messy construction site, but now it has been cleaned up by the natives of the Hiero plane, and walking along the underground tunnel, there is a stone gate on both sides of the stone wall every short distance, and there is a metal plaque engraved with the imperial capital script and simple patterns at the door, even if you don't know the imperial script, just by the pattern on the metal door plate, you can roughly know what kind of materials are stored in this warehouse.
The area near the teleportation altar is flanked by such warehouses on both sides of the cave, which are stockpiled with a large number of demonic spider silk ingots, magic red copper ingots, magic black iron ingots, indigo wood and ironwood wood, low-grade magic herbs, and some unknown sundries recovered from the goblin tribe, as long as they seem to have some value, they will be placed in the grocery warehouse, like those metal chests with Hextech blueprints, some simple life tools, and the associated gems of magic cuprite- Malachite, a lot of things like that.
Farther away are all kinds of living materials stored in the cave, the largest amount of these materials is mainly grain, including a large amount of fine wheat flour and some coarse grains, there are also some small quantities of air-dried raw jerky, these raw jerky are the orcs in the Orc Village of Xinliu Valley hunting in the eight hundred miles of mountains and forests in Xinliu Valley, and there are some warehouses piled up with cloth, leather and so on.
Marveling at the amazing changes in the underground cavern for nearly a month, Kig continued to walk forward, and found that two light steel rails were laid on the ground in the center of the cave and extended into the darkness deep into the cave, and she stepped on the dark rails with her feet, and asked me strangely: "Haven't you just ordered the 30,000 light steel rails from the blacksmith's workshop not long ago, and why have they been laid in the cave so quickly?"
Karantso stood up and explained to Qige: "There are also blacksmith shops in the orc village of Xinliu Valley, and some light rails can also be made over there, the old orc Zewang has been being collected by that dwarf Bernd recently, and I don't know what kind of agreement they have, Lao Zewang has been crazy with him, and has been building light rails day and night recently, but unfortunately the efficiency of hand-crafting rails is too low. ”
Walk into the huge stone room where the aborigines rest, here is full of life, the stone room the size of a football field has been divided into countless independent spaces by a stone wall, walking in is like shuttling between the market, many aborigines sit at the door of their own houses at will, some of the stone walls are still hung with wheat cakes, and there are also raw meat jerky hanging outside the stone walls, the whole stone room is very warm except for some dimness.
Karantso explained to me that the natives of the Hierro Plane like to hang their leftovers outside their houses as proof that they have made ends meet.
Walking out of this huge stone chamber, returning to the underground cave passage, and finding a fork in the road again, there was a faint 'silk' gentle hissing sound and the spinning wheel turning to make a 'buzzing' sound, a faint smell of sour rot permeated from it, Qige stopped at the fork in the road, looked at the steel rails under his feet did not extend inside, glanced at Karantso, and asked her, "Sixty giant spiders in this stone chamber?"
Karantso nodded and said, "Yes!"
At this time, I happened to see a group of natives coming over, two of them carrying a three-meter-long wooden stick on their shoulders, and a series of goblins hanging from the thick wooden stick with thick arms, one goblin was trapped like a dumpling by hemp rope, and each goblin's mouth was stuffed with a ball of rags, and his exposed eyes were wide open, and he looked around in great horror, hanging on the wooden pole and constantly struggling.
The natives had thorns in their hands, and the goblins would be whipped when they struggled hard, and the thorns were whipped on the green-skinned goblins, and they trembled in pain, and the natives walked into the fork in the road, and when they passed us, they all saluted me respectfully, and a total of six groups of natives passed in front of us and entered the fork in the road.
Kig looked at the backs of the natives and asked, "What are they doing here?"
"Feed!" Karantso said directly, then added: "It takes a lot of physical strength for those giant spiders to spin silk, and we use hourglass timers, and every five hourglasses are turned around, we have to feed these giant spiders. ”
Originally, he wanted to go in and see the spinning site, but when he heard Karantso say this, Qige immediately stopped, turned around, and continued to walk along the cave passage where the steel rails were laid, and asked Karantso, "How far has this track been laid?"
"It's not far, in fact it only extends to the cellar, and now the dwarf Bernd is leading the Hierro natives to clear the cave section by section, doing some groundwork to level the ground. With that, Karantso glanced at me.
I touched my chin and said to her: "In less than a month, the steel rails I customized will be delivered to the warehouse of the imperial capital airport one after another, and when the time comes, you only need to prepare manpower, 30,000 light steel rails is not a small number, are the sleepers on the side of the lumber yard ready?"
"Those barbarian slaves have some ideas, and I hope you can talk to them in person when you have time!" Karantso hesitated, but said it anyway.
"Oh, what else can you think as a slave?" I asked, confused.
There was a hint of strangeness in his eyes, and he said to me: "It's not your kind of sheep-herding management, no matter how dull those barbarians are, they will slowly breed some ideas, and they want to fight for more...... Equity!"
