Chapter 147: The Scroll and the Moon Text

"Ahem...... Lady boss, even if our laterite slopes have unique advantages, we should take one thing into account, that is, after all, the laterite slopes are in the Danube Wilderness, far away from other countries, even if there are caravans willing to come to us to make a fortune, it seems that the road is too rugged and far away. ”

The Shabit patriarch stroked his goatee and said, "You think, if a caravan is dangerous, it will spend a lot of money to hire mercenaries, carriages, etc., and if all these expenses are too great, they are not willing to make a loss-making deal." ”

Shabit's words surprised Xia Yi a little, but he didn't expect him to think of this, to put it succinctly, it's traffic! Transportation is the first condition for development, and this is also the most difficult point for Chailly.

"This is a map of the continent." Xia Yi spread out the prepared map and said, "To the west of us is the Frozen Forest, beyond that is the Orc Kingdom, and to the south is the Human Kingdom, and in comparison, only the Human Kingdom is the closest and flatter here. ”

"Mean, there's only one way for us at all?" Rose frowned at her beautiful willow eyebrows.

"Uh...... That's pretty much what it means. "Shay Zhilu said that the geographical location is not very good, otherwise it will not be deserted forever, "But don't miss our other passage, which is the Danube, if we go straight up the Danube, we can directly reach the orc kingdom, and the upper reaches of the Danube are not far from the elves." ”

Pomlibe craned his neck, glanced at the map, and said in an urn voice: "That is only in winter, when the Danube is frozen in winter, horse-drawn carriages can walk, and besides, the upper reaches of the Danube are too turbulent to freeze at all in winter." ”

"Hehe......"

Xia Yi thinks that this kobold has a good head, but most of them are stupid.

"I'm not going to rely on a horse-drawn carriage, but a boat!" Shay spoke her mind. "The Danube provides us with a passage where we use cargo boats, and they don't sail much slower than horse-drawn carriages."

The canal is definitely the most important link in the traffic of goods, it can transport the most goods, although the speed is slower, but this continent only has horse-drawn carriages. is the most convenient way.

"Boat?!"

Xia Yi's proposal aroused a lot of skepticism, and Mondo reminded: "Ahem, as far as I know, cargo ships on the continent are only accessible in the south where there are many rivers, and the shipbuilding skills in the north are not very good, do we want to go to the human kingdom to buy cargo ships?" Humans rarely sell boats to other races, it is their unique artisanal skill, if they do. It's also an old ship that's been knocked out. ”

Xia Yi didn't know much about this, and asked, "How many gold coins is an ordinary passenger ship?" ”

"I don't know, if it's a human trade, it's about a million gold coins, and if it's sold to a foreign race, the price is higher."

"Shhh...... This group of profiteers. Xia Yi gasped, a million gold coins made her feel pain, she felt that she had extorted a million gold coins from Count Carreno was too little.

"For what they came to our territory. Do we still need to think about transportation? Patriarch Shabit was puzzled.

"We didn't work for them for nothing, the transport provided by the Red Clay Slopes. It will be in the form of a lease, and we only need to take a tenth of their profits, isn't this equivalent to making another profit on the goods sold? The income from this can be substantial. ”

Xia Yi's words made everyone present feel that a profiteer star was rising on the red clay slopes.

"So, it's a very necessary thing to build a ship, think again. Are there any other races other than humans that are good at crafting? ”

Everyone fell into deep thought, and the two tentacles on Frank's head trembled, and he said with little confidence: "There is a race, and their shipbuilding skills are several times better than those of humans......

"It's impossible! There's no way we're going to get ships from them! "Everyone shouted in disapproval.

"You mean ......?"

"Goblins." Frank shrugged. "Goblin pirates have the best shipbuilding skills, and they build ships that even the sea people can't do, which is why they can run amok on the sea."

Xia Yi immediately felt that this was a fortune, the big ship that could make the sea clan compromise should not be small, the red soil slope is not far from the mouth of the Danube, if a port can be built, driving the goblin pirate ship, from the eastern coastline, can reach the southern hills of the dwarves, although it is a big bend, but it is worth it.

"Goblin pirates are erratic, they occasionally run to the coast of the human kingdom to rob, but the humans have never been able to keep them, although they know that their nest is in the Great Barrier Reef, and no one can exterminate them, one is because of their navigation skills, and the other is because of the unique environment of the Great Barrier Reef, which is said to be covered by dense fog all year round, and the reef is as many as gravel, and only goblins can enter freely."

"That's troublesome enough."

Shay pondered and took a sip of wine, if she could, she wouldn't mind going to the goblins to rob and eat black, because with the goblins' xenophobic personality, most of them can't negotiate kindly.

The final decision was to talk to the Kraken Clan first, and it would be nice if I could get some goblin information from the Kraken.

"Alright, everyone, let's put aside the worries for now, tonight, let's enjoy the moonlight and delicious food, and toast to tomorrow on the red clay slopes!"

"Cheers!"

Pomribey and Britz couldn't wait any longer and began to sweep through the food, the Shabit patriarch and the two new members of the Zerg had a pleasant conversation, and when the cups and plates were messed up, the night was dark, and the celebratory castle finally quieted down again, and each went back to his room to rest.

Shay was a little drunk, and the room was left with Mondo and her.

"Yi ...... I want to tell you one thing. There were two lumps of blush on Mondo's face, and Xia Yi felt that he would say something emotional, and this situation was really suitable for flirting.

"What?" Shay stared at Mondo hotly.

"Uh......" Mondo lowered his head and pulled out a small scroll from his sleeve, which had been bitten by bugs and was a little moldy, "Do you remember the token I got from the Druid Patriarch Amanda during my training in the Frozen Forest?" ”

"Is this the scroll?" Shay remembered that Mondo hadn't had time to open it at the time.

"Yes, this is the only thing I had with me when I left the City of Chaos." Mondo was a little gloomy, "Grandpa Sal said, in fact, this is originally my mother's relic, but because it has no value, no one pays attention to it, and I carry it with me, it is a souvenir......"

"Heidi's stuff?" Xia Yi took the scroll, and the movement was very light, this thing might break if he touched it at the slightest touch, it was too worn.

"Yes, it is not taken seriously, because, it is blank."

Mondo opened the scroll and laid it out on the dining table, leaving nothing but a wormhole! The middle is completely blank!

"Could it be some way to hide something useful, such as ......burning it with fire?"

Xia Yi has been influenced by many movies, and the real treasures hidden in the martial arts cheats can be seen as soon as they are burned with fire, the edges of the scrolls have been destroyed, and the connections have been broken, and it is clear that someone has done this before.

"Yi, you're so smart, and I don't think it's worthless, even ...... According to the Pope, the relics left by Heidi, my mother used a unique method to make this scroll inconspicuous, so that people would ignore it, because she knew that only I would treasure everything she left behind, and that the valuable ones would be taken away by the leonin. ”

Mondo moved the scroll, and the moonlight outside the window shone in and shone on the scroll.

"It's a pity that I didn't know what Mother Dao was thinking, until we passed by the Moon Spirit Waterfall in the frozen forest...... When I was a child, my mother liked to hold me and watch the moon by the skylight, I felt very bored at the time, at the Moon Spirit Waterfall, I was thinking, such a beautiful moon, but unfortunately my mother didn't appreciate it, I opened the scroll to understand her painstaking efforts. ”

The scroll on the dining table, under the illumination of the moonlight, slowly emerged some faint words!

"Moon Text!?" Chailly exclaimed.

"It's called Moon Text? Very apt. Mondo replied.

The reason why she had heard the name was from Pipiru's memories, that there were many alchemists in ancient goblins, and they did not want their achievements to be plagiarized by others, and they wanted to record their achievements, so they invented a moon script, written in special materials, which could only be seen under the moon.

This is a kind of protection for their results, and of course, it is not a panacea.

"The reason why the moon text can be used as a password is because the moon alone is not enough, it must also be every month, and the day when the moon text is written can even be affected by the weather and the season."

Xia Yi looked closely at the text on the scroll, and there were some graphics drawn on it, such as spiral blades like the fan of an electric fan, she was sure that this was an authentic ancient goblin script.

"Hah! Even if the Pope saw this scroll, how could he have thought that the text on it was in the language of goblins? It's even more unlikely that you've ever heard of the moon text! ”

Mondo smiled: "But I can't read the goblin script, you should know it, right?" ”

Xia Yi gave Mondo a slam kiss on the face, Mondo was stunned, his eyes were open, he couldn't believe it, he felt that his face was a little numb, and his mind was a little unconscious.

"Mondo, you've done me a great favor! It solves my most important problems! Moreover, it can take the force of our red clay slopes to the next level! In the future, the role of a goblin on the battlefield will be even stronger than that of an elven archer! ”

"Uh, what's on that......"

Xia Yiha laughed: "This is the manufacturing process of goblin airships and goblin artillery!" Hahaha! (To be continued......)
