245. Drink porridge
The bright red silk cloth of the wind was blown by the wind, like a burning flame floating in the air.
It rolled in the air, carried into the sky by the vortex in the heat flow, and a spider-man warrior ran over in a panic from under it, and the flames on the top of the spider-man warrior's head ignited it at once, and it was ignited in the air, only for a moment, a blue flame burst out on its body, and then in less than a second, it turned into ashes in the air, was blown away by the hot wind, and rolled higher into the air.
The orc warriors lying on the stone roof saw the red silk floating in the wind, and they sprayed corpse fire oil into the school field in the heat wave one second, and decisively closed the pipeline valve the next second, untied the water bladder from their waists, and poured a bag of cold water on the nozzle of the hot flamethrower, and a large amount of white water vapor came out of the nozzle that had been burned red.
At the same time, such a large amount of water vapor came out of the roof on the north side of the entire school field, completely covering the figures on the roof, but at this moment, the orcs who were spraying flames on the roof had already jumped down agilely, and ran towards the tavern at a speed of 100 meters.
Karaantso carried me on his back and galloped into the basement of the tavern, following the orc warriors.
I happened to see Kig stepping on the chair, lying on the only skylight in the basement, looking curiously through a piece of transparent glass to the school grounds, and behind her stood the lizard maid Takama, who was carefully helping her hold the chair.
Kige looked back and saw me lying on Karantso's back, her curved eyebrows gently raised, and her talking eyes suddenly became very bright, and she took Takama's hand, jumped down from the back of her chair lightly, walked up to me, wrinkled her cute little nose, and walked around me, and seeing that I was not hurt, she unceremoniously reached out and pinched my ear, and pulled me off Kalantso's body.
"Hey, hey, are you really going to stay on it for the rest of your life?" Qige bit her lip with snow-white teeth, and there was a charming smell like that, and that kind of brutal and willful look returned to her.
She is a dignified lecturer in magic potions in the classes of the Royal Academy of Magic, she is also a well-known scholar of magic potions in the laboratories of the Imperial Academy of Magic, she is a princess in the noble United Kingdom of Etiah, and the fiancΓ©e of the Prince of Wales, the seventh in line to the Grimm Empire.
My memory of her is still stuck in the moment when we first met, when she was slender and thin, wearing an ordinary long dress, I called her Xiao Chai Niu.
"Oh, can you do it lightly, be careful that my ears are pulled off by you!" I deliberately looked like it was in pain, and screamed loudly, but in fact her soft, snow-white hand was just on my ear for pretense.
Seeing that I was very playful with her, the corners of her mouth raised a smug smile.
At this time, Karantso had already entered the portal, and she would never have watched me and Kige play like this.
The lizard-maid Takama standing on the side only knew that she was standing on the sidelines, looking at us curiously, as if she couldn't understand this interaction between me and Kige, probably not in the young men and women of the lizard-people.
Only Caterina will laugh without hesitation: "Giggles!"
Sure enough, now she is much bolder than before, and she dares to laugh out loud in front of Qige.
Ruka and the dwarven warrior Bernd walked in from behind, and Bernd was stunned for a moment, then immediately lowered his head in amusement and quickly stepped into the portal.
Luka, the Minotaur, was not so quick to react, he looked at it in surprise for a moment, then he was speechless and covered a big hand in front of his eyes, and then said to himself: "Oh oh oh! I didn't see anything, Bernd, don't you say? Hey, you wait for me, you can run so fast, hey, wait for me ......."
Ruka fumbled as he spoke, and walked into the portal.
Through the glass window on the roof of the basement, through the firelight and billowing smoke, I just saw that the spider-man warriors on the school field looked restless in the fire circle, and there was no flame-jet suppression of the orc warriors on the north side of the school field, and they began to try to continue to charge to the north, at this time, the thin layer of ice in the demon sealing box placed on the stone platform in the center of the school field finally completely melted, and the demon sealing box that was originally a loose piece of metal was pieced together, at this moment, in front of the eyes of the two spider-man overseers, 'snapped' and fell apart......
Revealing the layers of wooden shelves that look like egg holders inside, between those wooden shelves are coconut-sized fire phosphorus bombs, there are two layers up and down, and there are eight fire phosphorus bombs on each layer, adding up to a total of sixteen, the most important thing is that these fire phosphorus bombs are all activated at the moment when the magic sealing box is cracked, and the rich fire element aura begins to spread outward.
No matter how stupid the two Spider-Man Overseers were, they knew that they had fallen into a trap, and with a roar of rage, the phantom of a giant spider like a mountain appeared behind the Spider-Man Overseers, and a thick black mist spread outward from their bodies.
'Protecting the True Qi of the Body'
I didn't dare to look any further, those fire phosphorus bombs were already on the verge of detonating, and I didn't dare to delay when I saw the last orc warriors burrowing into the portal.
"Hurry up and get in! Grandma, it's too late. After I finished speaking, I suddenly hugged Kige, and then pulled her into the portal and entered the underground warehouse in Xinliu Valley.
Before I could pull Kig off the altar, Caterina and Takama stepped out of the portal in no turn.
Seeing Caterina walking in with us, I turned to her and asked, "Caterina, you've told you all about the Knight Disraeli and the quartermaster Felix, haven't you?"
Her long, fluffy, soft red hair danced like flames as she walked.
Caterina pursed her lips slightly, like a blooming red rose, and she said to me: "Well, I have told them our plan personally, Lord Felix will hide all the soldiers of the Trem Guards and the Heavy Infantry Regiment who have not had time to withdraw from the north gate into the warehouse on the cliff face of the Troum Mountain, where there is enough space and time should be in time. β
β......β
I was dumbfounded for a moment, for the way they dodged the explosion of the fire and phosphorus bombs was to move all the defenders of the northern city wall to the cliff warehouse. When I think of the true power of the fire phosphorus bomb, my heart is a little weak.
I whispered, "I wish the cave was strong enough!"
This made Caterina laugh as if she had heard what a funny joke she had heard and asked me, "Are you still worried that the Trump Hill will collapse?"
I was about to answer Caterina's question, when I heard Kig stand under the altar with his hands on his chest and shout dissatisfiedly, "Why are you two still chirping at me on the altar, why don't you come down?"
Caterina smiled sweetly at me, shrugged her shoulders, and immediately agreed, "Here we are." β
She turned around and suddenly performed a 'leap', and her body disappeared in front of me, and at the same time, a not-so-regular void space gap suddenly cracked around Qige, and Katerina's body flexibly emerged from it, standing obediently beside Qige, and her agile and agile body made the orc warriors on the side stunned.
I can imagine what the orc warriors are thinking at this moment, they must be thinking about how they will deal with such an assassin who can cross time and space with such a short distance and precision, but it seems that there is really no good way to deal with it except to have a keen sense, unless it is to wrap themselves like an iron bucket.
When I came to the underground cave again, I found that there are some changes here almost every day, the most obvious is the altar of this section of the cave, there is no trace of the original natural cave at all, the cave wall here has been transformed by the dwarf Bernd into a corridor, every ten meters away, there will be a pair of huge round stone pillars with a diameter of more than two meters rising from the ground,
The walls of the caves between these pillars are no longer visible in their original style, this section of the wall is completely made of granite stone strips more than three meters high, the walls are inserted with copper oil lamps, and the flames are burning in them, making the altar near the lights look bright, it seems that the dwarves really have rich underground means of building cities, this section of the cave is decorated by Bernd for a while, it really looks like a corridor in an ancient castle.
Walking forward for a while, I actually saw two bronze metal gates in front, these two gates are seven or eight meters high, and there are some exquisite reliefs on them, but the relief patterns are obviously very rough, and it looks like the eight hundred miles of mountains and rivers on the ground of Xinliu Valley.
There were still two orc warriors standing on both sides of the bronze door, and I didn't expect Bernd to build the cave of the altar into a relatively independent space, and with this bronze door, I finally hid my biggest secret in Xinliu Valley in a stone house.
We walked out of the stone gate, and were immediately stunned by the hot scene outside the stone gate, countless torches were lit in the stone cave, those natives of the Hiero plane were scattered in the stone cave, those natives were actually doing the work of craftsmen, they were building walls with white granite stone strips, this section of the rock cave has completed the preliminary construction of the huge stone pillar support, and now it is only necessary to build up the stone walls on both sides, and then pave the ground with bluestone slabs.
Watching the aborigines work hard, I felt completely subverted.
I've been busy with the war in Trum for a while, so I haven't bothered to pay attention to the Xinliu Valley for a while, so it's only now that I've begun to take a closer look at the underground caverns, and I asked the dwarf Bernd how it was possible to make this place look like this in such a short period of time.
Bernd triumphantly touched his big red nose, and said to me mysteriously: I'll find out later.
Later, Bernd laughed heartily and said: These natives are natural builders, and they have a strong understanding of bricklayer work.
He led me through the construction area, and I watched with curiosity at the natives, moving granite stone strips and building walls, and wondering even more about how Bernd did it.
Bernd walked to an elderly native who was carrying a hanging wire and was measuring whether the wall was vertical, and the middle-aged native saw Bernd appear, looking very respectful, and even took out a piece of parchment from his arms, and asked Bernd a lot of architectural questions in stiff imperial Chinese, and then the two made some exchanges on the layout of this stone cave.
Finally, Bernd stood on tiptoe and patted the aboriginal on the shoulder, and told him earnestly: "There is no division of day and night in the underground caves, and the work and rest time must be strictly arranged according to the hourglass, and the laborers must be given a rest, and every time the hourglass is filled, a short rest should be made, every six squares should be filled, the hourglass should be turned over, and all the laborers should rest." β
The middle-aged native nodded repeatedly.
At the edge of this cave site, there are several large iron pots, with sections of leftover wood burning underneath, and the barley porridge is boiling in the big iron pot, and I can smell the smell of wheat wafting from the pot, and several sturdy indigenous women are stirring the porridge pot with big wooden sticks, and the thick barley porridge in it wafts out a sweet smell.
A few indigenous children squatted beside the big iron pot, watching the indigenous women boiling porridge, and their saliva was flowing on the surface of their feet.
When I saw that the cauldrons were almost full of barley porridge and that there were no scones around, I asked Bernd in surprise, "Why don't you add them a pork leg or something?" Cook some meat porridge, what can you do if you sell porridge so thinly? What about the wheat cakes I left in the warehouse?"
At this time, Bernd rubbed his hands together and said to me proudly: "Lord Jijia, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would probably never have imagined how much these Hiero natives like to drink and sell porridge, but it's not that I don't give them wild boar leg meat, it's that they don't want to add any meat to the porridge." β
Seeing that Bernd did not directly tell me the reason why the natives worked hard, he showed me their single meal.
I had an idea, but still couldn't believe it, and tentatively asked Bernd, "You mean, these people work so hard just to have a bite to sell porridge?"
Unexpectedly, Bernd nodded very clearly, touched his beard with his hand and said, "That's right!"
...... "I didn't know what to say, and I thought to myself: Are these natives vegetarians?"
Bernd said to me again, "But, Lord Giga, there is one thing I must mention to you, although Karantso told me that now is not the right time to say this, but I think that as the lord of the Willow Valley, you have a right to know this. β
I looked at Bernd suspiciously.
I heard him say again: "The grain in our underground warehouse can't last long, and it can only last for half a month at most." β
Yes, I realized that I really ignored this matter, after the seven hundred natives entered the underground cave, I originally reserved the orc warriors to eat half a year's food, and at the same time to feed the seven hundred natives, the consumption rate of food has suddenly accelerated by six or seven times, that is to say, these foods can only last for more than a month, no wonder these natives can only drink gruel.
