In the following period of time since February 23, 796 of the new calendar, the lives around the players of the Qingling Adventure Group finally began to calm down as the situation stabilized, and they launched each other's plans under the guidance of their own negotiated phalanxes, and gradually promoted the construction and stationing of the entire station separately. The sun and moon on the grassland also continued to pass over the heads of Duan Qing and the others with the passage of time day by day, accompanied by the endless verdant that seemed to have never changed and the wind that had always surrounded them.

Of course, not all of these processes were extremely smooth, and in the first step of negotiation, they took the lead.

"What? You want the Wind Stone? It can't be impossible, not a piece. “

"Hey, isn't it just some scraps for pressing tents? Give us two more pieces and no less ......."

"Scraps? What do you think this stone is? Is it something to eat? We don't lack horses, cattle and sheep, or even warriors! But this stone alone is not a trade commodity! ”

"Get out of here! Or I'll kick you all out!" ”

With the outbreak of the riot, the figure of Hulala burst towards the periphery of the Su tribe, and soon the figures belonging to Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Ice appeared in the long blue sky mixed with clouds, looking at each other Standing on the grassland, they were also lonely and depressed at this time, and it was difficult to say the words that wanted to break this embarrassing silence at this time: "Miscalculated, I didn't expect them to be so stingy." ”

"No, the tribes on the steppe shouldn't be so stingy, there should be other reasons."

Shaking his head against his chin, the contemplative gaze that belonged to the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice was gradually buried in his bowed head at this time: "Maybe this so-called Wind Stone is really a very cherished mineral, which is why they attach so much importance to it." ”

"When it comes to mining rocks and the like, it's usually dug up from a mine or a crag or something." Knowing what the other party wanted to say at this time, Duan Qing, who turned his head, looked his gaze into the distance of the grassland: "But don't say it's something similar, it's hard for us to see even the mountains and mountain bags." ”

"We have to find a way to figure out where this stone came from, or at least where it came from." Shaking his head, Xue Lingphantasm Ice took the lead in the direction of the temporary camp: "Unlike the trade of food and water, our request just now may have violated some kind of taboo, if we don't want to cause this kind of accident again, we have to first-"

"I thought it was the two of you who caused such a big commotion here."

The loud voice then interrupted Xue Ling's words, and at the same time drew the attention of the two people who were just about to leave, and the figure of Surtu, who was carrying a scimitar, was then escorted by two cavalry-like guards, straddled the strong horse and came to them: "Why are you back again?" What's the trouble again? ”

"We wanted to trade with your people in the name of adventurers, but they refused." Sensing that this was a good opportunity, Duan Qing and Xue Linghuanbing, who had exchanged glances with each other, hurriedly came back again: "We don't understand the reason for the rejection, so we almost got into a fight with your clansmen. ”

"Oh? That's really not easy. It seemed that Surtu, who was in charge of the security and security work of the settlement seed, and listened to Duan Qing's answer with his chin in his hand, then turned his head to look at the camp where they had just left the riot: "Old Aga is not such a difficult person to talk to, and ordinary guests should also welcome him...... To make that person angry, are you asking too much? ”

"After all, we are new to this continent, and we don't know much about many things on this continent." Duan Qing smiled respectfully and humbly: "If possible, I also ask His Excellency Surtu to give us some guidance." ”

"Adults can't talk about it, just call me Surtu."

Unexpectedly, Duan Qing showed an easy-going appearance, and Surtu, who had raised his hands, jumped off his horse directly: "Say, what do you want to know." ”

"Uh...... Excuse me, is that thing called the Wind Stone rare on this continent? After calming down his rather surprised mood, Duan Qing cautiously asked, "Or is it something taboo?" ”

"Oh, so you want the Wind Stone." After looking into the distance where the two adventurers were, Surtu burst out laughing: "I see, I see, you really want to live near this place?" ”

"We don't have anywhere else to go anyway, so of course we'll have to stay around here for now." Showing the faintly visible dusty scene in the direction where Surtu was looking, Duan Qing responded with a pleasant face: "But we have encountered some difficulties in the construction of the camp, so we wanted to investigate the territory of the Nasu tribe, and then we found that there seems to be a kind of stone around your tent——"

"That stone isn't something you can get casually."

Without doubting Duan Qing's words, Su Ertu, who was staring at the two of them, then straightened his face: "Even in the Galba region, which has not yet been fully mined, the Wind Stone is also a scarce resource, and our cattle, sheep, and gold and iron may be easy to obtain, but the 'Zhenjiao Stone' is different...... Not. ”

"Well, you wait here."

Turning around and whispering to the two cavalrymen behind him, he then walked in front of Duan Qing again in the background of the two cavalrymen with surprised faces turning back and running towards the settlement: "I will take out the stones in my house and give you a little, you can make do with them first." ”

"W-is this appropriate?" After exchanging glances again, Xue Lingphantom Bing, who also stepped forward, asked with a hesitant expression: "Such a precious thing, even if we pay some more-"

"You mean the kind of gold you have? That kind of thing isn't easy to do on our side! There was a smug laugh crossed over his waist, and Surtu's expression in front of Duan Qing and the others became extremely serious: "Everyone who has just come here has experienced everything you have experienced, and everyone started when they were empty-handed and had nothing, so although you can use these stones, it will be regarded as the support of our Su clan for you." ”

"My lord, is this really appropriate?"

In another burst of gratitude and friendly exchange of pleasantries, the two horsemen soon returned with a small cowhide sack, and they handed it into the hands of the two adventurers who bowed and saluted at the order of Surtu, and then looked at their retreating backs and asked uneasily: "What if they are not our friends, but spies sent by the enemy......

"If it's really a spy of the Nashi tribe, then their people's acting skills are too good." Waving his hand to stop his subordinates' questions, Surtu, who was also watching Duan Qing leave, replied in a low voice: "They were brought back by me personally, and I am personally responsible for the investigation, if this can't make me believe, then wouldn't I not be able to believe myself?" ”

"But my lord, there are many people in the clan who are saying—"

"It's okay, let them say go." Finally retracting his gaze from the two people who were drifting away, Surtu turned to look at the faces of the two subordinates: "'Messenger of Destiny' is not the title I gave them, it was said by the patriarch. ”

"If there's really something they can't get used to, why don't they go to the patriarch and explain it themselves?"

With the support of only a few Wind Stones, the small camp that belonged to Duan Qing and the others finally had the capital to settle down, and they survived another sleepless night on the grassland with the assistance of the mutilated magician disc and a few Wind Stones in the cowhide cloth bag, and at the same time repelled the attacks of wolves wandering nearby again and again—perhaps because of the proximity to the Nasu settlement, the number and size of the wolves roaming this area were smaller than the ones Duan Qing had encountered that night before, However, I don't know if the same rules are used as in the Free Continent, and the strength of these wild monsters that haunt the night is also more powerful than what they encounter during normal daytime.

"Another batch! This time it's from the north! Quantity – one, two...... Four! ”

"Don't be careless! It's definitely demonic creatures too, and their strength and agility have increased by at least 30%! ”

"311 tactics, divide them and surround them! The grappling work is handed over to Ling Bing! The rest of the people will focus on the one that dropped the single one first - wow, ahhhh ”

"Be careful! They unleash Wind Blades! ”

It is still different from the Nasu settlement not far away, this small and lonely camp located under the depression of the grassland finally welcomed the arrival of another sun under the extremely lively fight, and the lone wolf shadow who began to flee by the sunshine then fled to the far side of the grassland under the weak eyes of Duan Qing and others, leaving only the scene of them sitting around the dilapidated camp with exhaustion without rest all night: "Ha, ha, ha, ha...... This group of ...... Bastard...... Sooner or later, Lao Tzu will ...... them All cut off...... And then...... Skewered and grilled to eat......"

"Shouldn't we have a fence or something? You can't just dwell on them every night. Sitting in the corner of the camp, Gedmayne replied sweatingly, "Although I would like to eat a large skewer of wolf meat, I must eat it first." ”

"But there's nothing around here that can be used as a fence, and it's all grassland." Gritting his teeth and propping up his body, Xue Lingxue Ice, who was trying to calm his breath, looked around at the end of the verdant grass: "You can't rely on digging trenches, right?" It doesn't stop them at all. ”

"I can make a magic earthen wall, but the duration is calculated by the second." With his hands and feet spread out on the grass, Duan Qing's expression of fierce gasping as if he had been swallowed by his own words: "Unless you use high-tech means such as magic arrays, otherwise—"

"Leave it to me."

An indifferent voice then appeared in the center of the camp, accompanied by the golden figure that Fura had appeared there at some point: "For the sake of you giving me a good night's rest, I'll help you a little." ”

"Vu, Lady Furla."

Looking at the golden light presented in the other party's hands gradually arching the surrounding open space, Duan Qing, who was lying on the ground, couldn't help but sigh: "You are really a god, it is a great honor to have you as our teammate." ”

"Space magic isn't for you to build a house, I'm just providing you with an adobe." Pointing to the verdant earthen wall that was still falling around her, but at this time it had already surrounded a circle several meters high, Fura turned around indifferently: "The rest is up to you." ”

"Yes ma'am, no problem ma'am." Saluted weakly in the direction of the other party's sudden teleportation and disappearance, and Duan Qing, who put down his hand, pulled a smile at the corner of his mouth: "But ma'am-"

"You'll have to leave a door for us before leaving!"

Another cacophony of earth and rocks crashing followed the screams that continued to resound over the grassland, and the vision that caused the ground to shake even attracted the patrol of the Sioux cavalry troops, ignoring their pointers, and then the Qingling Adventure Group began a new day of busyness, reinforcing and decorating this small camp. As a magician and alchemist in the team, Duan Qing naturally participated in a very special role in this process, but through his own strong request, the task undertaken by this role naturally had nothing to do with physical work: "One-third of the magic is distributed here, and then returns to this place through the energy transmission loop...... Okay, let's put another piece here. ”

"You say let it go, what kind of hero is it on paper? Don't keep directing us to repair the house, we're busy! ”

"You're building a house, and I'm designing a magic circle that guards an entire camp! If it weren't for the protection of this magic array, even I would be able to blow down your tofu project in one go! ”

"Who was the person who was going to change it to an adobe house in the first place? You didn't bring it up yet! After that, I will look there, is it not possible to treat us all as tools? ”

"Okay, don't make a noise, get on with your work."

Becoming the only dignified figure in the team, Xue Ling, who was also reinforcing the earthen wall, wiped his sweat and shouted at the crowd: "If you waste any more time, none of us will want to sleep tonight!" ”

"Really, there is no obedience from the workers in my dreams."

Looking at the figure of the woman with white hair coiled on her head gradually approaching, Duan Qing, who was squatting on the ground, dodged his eyes left and right and said to himself: "If it is a Rand person, it only takes half a day to get all this kind of thing...... Ah! ”

"Stop your daydreaming, it's not good to be lazy." Reaching out to put away the magic array that the other party was fiddling with, Xue Lingphantom Ice then reached out and pulled over Duan Qing's body that wanted to protest just now: "And you, come and take a look." ”

"Did you just put this thing on?"

She pointed to a shining stone embedded in the earthen wall, and asked in a low voice.
