1518 Darkstone

The swaying wind continued to rise along the straight outline with the obstruction of the earthen wall, and swept away to the place where it could not be seen with a little slag still falling, and the sound of the wind and the wall rubbing against each other was also blocked out of the scope of the tent by this seemingly extremely solid physical barrier at this time, and at the same time made the voice around Duan Qing much quieter: "This, this seems to be ......"

"It looks like the same stone."

Carefully stretching out his fingers, Duan Qing, who was originally expressing resistance to his dragged movements, also widened his eyes at the bright stone exposed between the rising mounds: "The material and energy fluctuations are almost the same, at most, they are not ......as active as the stones we got our hands on."

"Although I think it's unlikely, I'll ask you first, just to be on the safe side." Xue Ling, who ran over with him, asked in a deep voice, "This stone shouldn't have been lazy all the time when you put it up, right?" ”

"Of course, this point is not within the scope of my circle construction at all." Shaking his head with a look of denial, Duan Qing's gaze also moved away from the surface of the stone that exuded pale green energy: "And with my professional eyes for many years, the quality of the stones we got is probably not as high as the stone in front of us." ”

"That is to sayβ€”these stones, which we have been searching for for a long time, and even almost got into conflict with others, are actually everywhere?"

Blinking his eyes, Xue Ling Phantom Ice whispered this fact that was difficult for Duan Qing to swallow: "Then what did we work hard for a long time before?" ”

"Don't say it, I feel that the circular earthen wall that Fra created for us may be better at blocking the wind than the Wind Stone." Pinching his brows a little tiredly, Duan Qing gasped vigorously: "These nomads have been living here for thousands of years, and it's not because they like to do this that they continue to use the Wind Stone to this day, there must be various reasons for this." ”

"Maybe it's to protect this grassland?" Xue Lingxue muttered and said one of his speculations: "Most of the nomads live on pasture, and if the grassland is destroyed by large-scale civil engineering projects, most of them themselves will not be able to get through this hurdle. ”

"The other possibility is that they need to migrate, because you can't just stay in one place all the time." Examining the stone in front of him, Duan Qingtou replied without looking back: "If you keep moving your own settlement, there is no need for a fixed construction method, so the changes that may occur due to changing the terrain are all excluded from their options." ”

"But none of this is a reason for them not to dig this stone, as long as it is as scarce as those who have described it before." As if the inspection had been completed, Duan Qing reached out and took down the stone embedded in the surface of the earthen wall: "Of course, this may also be just a coincidence, after all, even those guys who pick up shells by the river can pick up gold from under the sand...... Not. ”

"It seems that this is really just an accident." He looked around here, and the magic sensation that kept sweeping the surface of the earthen wall came to naught after a period of silence: "Only this one nearby emitted fluctuations, and the miracle that Fura created did not happen again. ”

"If the soil is shallow, it is possible that someone else threw it here." Xue Lingphantom Ice also relaxed his emotions: "But it's impossible to throw away a stone in such good condition at will." ”

"Hey! You two! ”

Before Duan Qing could say his answer, the other side of the camp from the other side of the camp where the sun was rising and Gedmane sounded: "Are you also lazy?" Are you lazy and lazy together? ”

"It's called a field survey! You know a yarn! What answered them was Duan Qing's perfunctory response when he raised his throat: "And isn't it just repairing the station?" ”

"I'll arrange the fortifications together, and you can just fix your own part!"

Duan Qing, who secretly glanced at the snow spirit phantom ice and hid the wind stone with his backhand, then tore his voice to the other side of the camp as well, and the scene that seemed to be nothing happened then gradually dispersed around the slope of this camp with the end of this small episode. With his own understanding, the magic array was gradually constructed, and Duan Qing, who was holding the design drawings in his hand, then began to build the positions around this camp, and the magic circuit full of faint magic power and the formation composed of wind stones were then accompanied by the actions and commands of the gray-robed magician, and little by little unfolded in the corner of the camp where the sound of dust was constantly raised: "This is it, bury another stone here." ”

"Sprinkle the powder I ground earlier into this place, and connect it with the place I sprinkled before - don't worry, the powder will change the properties of the soil and channel the energy of the elements to this place."

"I know that billet you built is going to take up the place, but who told you that the double loop must be tiled on the ground? Once your wall is erected, I'll be in charge of painting another ring on the outer wall, which will serve as a little bit of a warning. ”

"Will it be blocked by rain or something? Well, I can't answer your question, after all, these designs and the magic materials I use are all things that I have figured out myself, and the effects and so on all depend on the actual - what? You're going to dig this place into a gutter? That's still it. ”

There was only one member of the team who studied magic and used magical abilities, and the members from the Qingling Adventure Group finally obeyed Duan Qing's instructions in the midst of stumbling prevarications and disputes, and they renovated up and down the inside and outside of the circular earthen wall left by Fura for a long time, and finally completely reproduced the magic array that Duan Qing had depicted on paper on the walls around the camp before sunset. The faint fluorescence gradually appeared with the connection of the last magical lines, and the brilliant starry sky that appeared again on the night of February 25th, and the gradually increasing grassland wind also began to rise around the small team as night fell, and then it was swallowed up by the front of the earthen wall with pale green traces and faintly showing mysterious brilliance to the point where it could not be seen: "...... Whew, it looks like it's working pretty well. ”

"Really? But I've always felt a little unreliable. ”

Standing directly above the earthen wall with Duan Qing, Gedmayne, who had been resting for a while, slapped the seemingly heavy and solid wall: "I've never seen any earth and stone buildings survive this long-lasting wind, even if we can hold out for a while, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop it for long." ”

"It's just a temporary camp anyway, and we won't stay here for long." Looking back at the figure of the rising sun lying in the corner who was snoring loudly due to the fatigue of the day, Duan Qing involuntarily touched his nose: "It's enough to be able to hold out for a while, and with a base, some other plans can be put on the agenda." ”

"But I always felt that something was wrong, even if enough of these things were wrong to us." Shaking his head, Gedmane reached out and patted the black iron shield placed in front of him: "The source of the Bridge of Miracles, the attitude of the Sioux towards us, the Wind Stone-"

"And the thing in your arms." He pointed to the mutilated disc that had been re-liberated due to the completion of the construction of the magic array, and had been retracted by Duan Qing at this time, and the deep worry in his eyes gradually revealed: "If all this is added up and points in a new direction, it is already difficult for me to imagine that there will be something waiting for us ahead." ”

"Rest assured, we've been through so many calamities." Waving his hand, Duan Qing's face showed a look of indifference: "At present, there are no players of the same level to hinder us for the time being, at most, it is possible that the restorationists and those forces behind them will find this place......"

"Isn't that enough?" The expression of wanting to stop talking flashed on his face for a moment, and Gedmayne finally showed a wry smile: "Well, that's what you said, if there are any stranger enemies when the time comes, I won't do anything about them." ”

"As long as you're willing to stay in this group." Pointing behind him, a wry smile also appeared on Duan Qing's face: "There are former professional players and former witches in our team, there are fugitive heavy prisoners, problem characters with broken arms, and I, the culprit who drags everyone down...... It's hard enough to be able to endure the existence of a team like ours. ”

"You mean I'm a normal person in the team right now? Ha, I probably have more problems than you think. Turning around, he let out a sneer, and the figure belonging to Gedmane then fell from above the high earthen wall with his shield: "But so far, I'm relatively happy with the situation of our team. ”

"I hope you can keep up the good work and keep it up."

As he said this, the body that rushed forward with the help of his strength also drew a series of extremely fast afterimages, and the shield that reflected the black and bright light then covered and intertwined with the ghost eyes of several demon wolves that instantly pounced in the depths of the grassland at night, setting off a loud and piercing crashing sound into the air.

********************************

"No, no, no, not here."

With the formal establishment and formation of this small station, the adventurous life belonging to the Qingling Adventure Group has finally entered the formality as Duan Qing said, and more and more transactions and commercial exchanges have gradually formed between them and the Nasu people who are not far away with the gradual stabilization of this team. The wolf skin and wolf meat that were finally brought in their hands were exchanged for the diamond-shaped currency unique to the Wind Continent, and the team that had nothing since coming to this continent finally got rid of the state of poverty and whiteness in name, and the team members who were originally busy finally had a little division of labor due to the accumulation of wealth, and did their best for the operation of the camp in the way they were good at: "This account does not match the amount of loot we brought back yesterday - did you covet some of these wolf skins?" ”

"No, according to the Captain, we brought some of these wolf skins to Baldu, he knows most of the tanners in the Sioux, and we just hope he will bring us a better price......

"Better price? That's even more wrong, if you use the rest of the wolf skins to sell for a higher price, then the amount should be more than now, and it is definitely not a state of breaking even...... Are you using it to buy something else? What's the thing you're pinning around your waist? Newly bought kettle? ”

"Uh, this, this......"

"Look, as long as the direction is right, even that little girl can give full play to her extra strength."

Sitting on a half-built adobe in the station, Duan Qing, who was patting his belly, looked at Mengzhu who was "interrogating" the rising sun at the gate of the camp with a pleasant gaze: "I didn't expect that the little girl not only learned to settle accounts, but even her vision became so vicious and sophisticated. ”

"I don't think it's because she's always been suspicious of the rising sun." Pursing his mouth, the posture of the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, which was located below Duan Qing's oblique, wielding his shield and sword, did not let go: "Once someone is included in the object of suspicion, everything will feel suspicious." ”

"That's right, it looks like you've got a lot of experience with that, too." So Duan Qing smiled and withdrew his gaze from the two people in the distance: "Although the matter of managing the accounts was handed over to that little girl at the beginning to shorten the distance between her and us, but looking at the current effect, I don't know if this choice is good or bad." ”

"Let them go, can they really set off some big storms." Still maintaining a non-stop waving motion, Snow Spirit Phantom Ice also withdrew his attention from the scene in front of him: "Ninety-eight, ninety-nine...... Okay, so what should I practice next? ”

"Once we've done all the basic postures, we should probably move on to the next step." Jumping down from the top of the adobe, Duan Qing's voice also sounded beside Xue Lingphantom Bing: "There are many kinds of combined combat techniques of one-handed sword and shield, and if it is a round shield like yours, these skills will also become more flexible. ”

"So the articulation between the basic skills will be key." The gray-robed magician's hand gestured back and forth in the air, as if he was introducing some combat knowledge to the white-haired woman in front of him: "For example, the sword and shield slash will make your body lean forward, which will make it easier for you to release the heavy slash or flying body slash, considering the displacement or even rolling, the pick-and-roll slash and the whirling slash after getting up may also be a better choice." ”

"Really? But I always thought it might be better to ram with a shield laterβ€”"

"You two."

The interjected voice interrupted the whispered discussion between the two men, and then a figure looming in the distance when Gedmayne returned to the camp at some point: "Don't practice yet, rest for a while." ”

"By the way, let's welcome our guests."
