1711 earthen ship
"Adam! Adam! What did you say to the outsiders? β
After a while, inside the Datar settlement, several young people of the tribe who were close to each other quickly approached Adamu who walked back to the settlement, and then they looked at each other hesitantly and then at each other, and finally a little boy who squeezed out of the crowd grabbed the conversation: "Them, are they telling the truth?" β
"The patriarch revealed the news so quickly?" Touching the little boy's head, Adam looked around again, but his eyes were a little more serious: "So...... Everyone agrees to get out of here? β
"Leave? How to leave? Before the silent group of clansmen could say their answers, one of the clansmen standing in the crowd asked in a low voice, "If the beast tide really comes, we won't have a chance to leave." β
"The adventurers promised a way out of this place, and allowed us to take our belongings with them." Pointing behind him, the corners of Adam's mouth grinned inexplicably: "They have already shown me just now." β
"Showcased?"
After another unspeakable silence, the tribal boy who was pressed under his big hand struggled and asked anxiously, "Those adventurers flew away with you?" Like a legendary god? β
"You're talking about the 'teleportation magic' they promised, right?" After staring at each other with his eyes open for a while, Adamu then slowly shook his head as if he was aware of it: "That can indeed be called a 'miracle' existence, but that's not what they showed me. β
"They're using a different approach." Rubbing the boy's head again, he straightened his face and said to the young clan members around him, "That's why I'm here, and if we want to get out of this place before the beast tide hits, we must work together and start working now." β
"Hands-on? What hands? β
"Just listen to my instructions."
The silent night was gradually broken as the last words of the tribal warrior fell, and the sound of the howling wind that kept passing through the place began to be replaced by more and more obvious busyness, and the clansmen who came out of their tents also began to watch the young people of the tribe gradually collect the idle planks around the entire settlement, and keep moving in the direction of the east again and again: "This, what is this doing?" β
"Make a boat!"
is still the little boy who likes to run around, and the figure jumping around around the busy crowd does not have the slightest fear and tiredness at this time: "Those brothers and sisters said that they want to make a big boat!" The kind that can travel around on the western sea! β
"Boats? How is this possible? The confused eyes of unknown meaning passed to each other in the eyes of these tribesmen, as if they could not understand the meaning of these words that popped out of the little boy's mouth at this time: "No, that...... Even if it's a boat, it's not a sea. β
"I don't know what the real sea is, you always say you're going to take us to see it, but you haven't been there ever since." The disgruntled little boy bared his teeth at the tribesmen: "But it's okay, I'll be able to see the real ship right now!" β
"Is this possible?"
The doubts on their faces became more and more intense, and the curiosity in the hearts of these unknown clansmen finally overcame their uneasiness, and they walked in the direction in which the young men of those tribes were carrying each other's things and moving forward, and finally found the three or two adventurers gathered in the same place in the depths of the grass at the edge of the settlement, commanding everyone: "That's right, just put it here, try to plug it in as strongly, so that you can ...... Feed! Tap hard! If it breaks, it's going to be troublesome! β
"Arrange the points selected according to our drawings, without any deviations, this thing requires a high level of precision in magic, and I don't know what to do if it goes wrong."
"Bring that slate, it's the base slab that serves as the base, and I'll engrave an energy supply magic circle on it in a moment, which will be used to connect the magic disc to the Wind Stone......
βββββ
"A little further out, I think...... Circle the land about the size of a basketball court and it should be enough for all of youβwhat? Never seen a basketball court? Have you ever seen the Hulun martial arts training ground? β
"It's really tiring."
Directing the construction of this temporary engineering team again, and busy carving the magic array, the sweat on the face of the gray-robed magician named Duan Qing seemed to become more and more obvious with time, and finally wiped off a little by his sleeve with a long sigh: "Even when I commanded the group of ancient residents to build the bridge in my memory, their understanding was much stronger than that of these clansmen now. β
"After all, it's not a group of professionals, it's an ordinary grassland tribe, so you don't have to ask for anything." Then a whispering voice rang in his ears, and a towel she reached out for: "It's all about timeβhow many hours have it been since we've been here?" β
"It should be in time." Looking up at the night, Duan Qing replied in a low voice, "As long as these clansmen are willing to cooperate with us in this way, it will at least be too late to enclose an area to move away." β
"What about energy?" Xue Ling, who had just arranged the things that a new group of clansmen had moved over to the other side of this area, walked back to his side and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure you want that ancient disk to be the energy center?" β
"What, you're still worried about the disc?" Sensing that the other party had been staring at the disc in his hand, Duan Qing's non-stop busy movements in his hand also stopped temporarily: "Don't have a psychological shadow, as long as it's not too nonsense, this thing is no different from an ordinary magic battery." β
"As long as it doesn't expose the disc too much."
His gaze stayed in the middle of this noisy world that was gradually surrounded by people, and the gray-robed magician said in a low voice, and the two women, who seemed to understand the meaning of the other party's allusion, then also spread their eyes and threw themselves into the tense busyness again: "Connect these planks!" That's right, just align the lines drawn on it, and you'll see what the runes do when they take effect. β
"Try not to destroy the ground beneath our feet, and we're counting on them to complete the circuit...... What is electrification, you ask? It's hard to explain to you, you just need to know that it's the power of the gods. β
"Show your hunting skills! Who has the best eyesight among you? Measure the distance between each rune without any misalignment. β
"This way, and this side...... That's right, the runes have all been placed-Duan Qing! β
Nervously patrolling the left and right sides of each arc-shaped venue, the two people with Adam's Snow Spirit Phantom Ice and Whispering kept checking the integrity of the layout, and the sound of the confirmation was followed by the picture of each quieting down after the emergency construction was completed, and it all reached Duan Qing's ears: "It's all done!" β
"Good." The answer to them was Duan Qing sitting in the center of the venue without raising his head: "Since there is no chance of trial operation, then let's start directly." β
"I hope that mentor of mine didn't lie to me." He shook his arm vigorously, then turned one of the gems set in the magic disc in a half circle: "Activate." β
A distinct humming sound appeared around this place as the sound fell, attracting the eyes of the Tatars who were still looking at this side to the left and right of the field, and the slight shaking began to appear under everyone's feet as a wave of magical power surged to the surface of each erected plank around this arc area, and finally completely exploded along with the gradually rising ground: "This, this isβ"
"The earth is rising! We- Huh? Is this the only place that has risen? β
"Look, those meadows are changing! They turned into rocks! No, it doesn't seem to be the same as the rocks......"
"Those runes! Their rays are connecting with each other! They, they'...... Ahh β
The runes that appeared between the planks gradually joined into thick lines under the action of magical power, and the magical energy rushing in them also appeared in front of the eyes of these people who were unsteady standing as the broken earth fell, and the earth that began to fall off because of the exposure of energy also fell under the bulging ground with the screams of those clansmen, as if it had been missed from the mesh of a huge net: "The bracket has succeeded!" But the hardening speed of the water elemental rune can't keep up with the destruction speed of the energy shock! β
"Advanced Magic Enhancement! Earth Element Shape! β
Before the whispering reminder was finished, another shout from Duan Qing that started magic stood out in her ears: "It shouldn't have been a project that should have been completed at the same time, and it should have been if it couldn't have been caught up, but-"
"As long as we make up for it."
The falling soil and grass clippings gathered again with the sweep of the earthy yellow magic energy gushing out of Duan Qing's hands, and soon solidified at the bottom of the magic rune lines like a tight rock formation, and the rising grass also stopped shaking with the appearance of these hardened lands, flashing gray-black brilliance under the light of the huge net of magic energy intertwined with each other: "...... Whew, all right. β
"Call all your people here, be quick." The look of exhaustion in his eyes flashed, and the gray-robed magician then whispered to the young people who were still helping each other to crawl out of the sunken ground, "Whoever wants to carry it on the boat, do so." β
"If you don't want to get on the boat, stay here and fend for yourself."
***********************************
The Datar tribe is worthy of being a small tribe that lives on the edge of the central grassland, and its actual population is probably only about a few dozen people, except for the dozen or so young warriors who just started to help Adamu work for Duan Qing, there are not many old and young women and children left. Witnessing this shipbuilding miracle from the last tremor of the earth, these old clansmen who had been hesitating finally made up their minds, but it was not the warning of Duan Qing and others and the persuasion of Adam that prompted them to make up their minds, but the faint smell of blood from the west.
For the members of these tribes who have lived on the grasslands for a long time, the smell is all too obvious.
"The herd is very close to us, and there are a lot of herds."
Watching the clansmen who were carrying their things aboard the dirt boat, Adam explained in a deep voice, "Only a herd of beasts of a certain size can carry their scent down the wind tunnel from a distance that we can't see. β
"The leylines that were previously damaged by the impact of energy have not been restored, so the wind on this wind duct has not recovered either." Frowning at himself, the voice of analysis belonging to Duan Qing also sounded closely: "Looking at it this way, the distance between them and us will only get closer...... How many people haven't moved in? β
"This is the last batch, and I will persuade them to give up on the rest." Pointing to the settlement not far from here, Adam, who frowned, turned to look at the crowd that kept passing by him: "The facts are already in front of us, and they will not affect all of us because of these old traditions and the burdens that cannot be moved." β
"I hope so."
Looking at the two people who were helping to check the integrity and safety of the earthen ship not far away, Duan Qing turned his gaze to the figure that was gradually walking behind Adam: "But I didn't expect that the patriarch of the nobility was actually a woman. β
"It's just that it's trusted by the people to this point." On the side, Adam bowed his head respectfully, and the figure wearing a gorgeous tribal felt hat and a female tribal ornament walked in front of Duan Qing: "It's an honor to meet you, the representative of the oracle, I am the patriarch of the Tatar clan, Taryana. β
"Two of my teammates have met you before, but they don't seem to have mentioned your gender to me." Duan Qing, who put away his gaze, then also performed a grassland tribal etiquette: "I'm sorry, but I don't have any superfluous opinions on this, on the contrary, many women around me are actually very representative." β
"Strength is not described in words, and even more so at this moment." Glancing at the backs of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice and Whispering not far away, the woman who called herself Taliyana replied casually with her hands together, but her face, which seemed a little mellow in the night, gradually became serious with the change of tone: "Since the clansmen are willing to believe you, as the patriarch, I will not disobey their wishes, but ......"
"Since we have followed the will of the Divine Envoy to begin this migration, then the Divine Envoy must have already chosen the direction."
Her eyes followed these words, and she looked behind Duan Qing along with several Tatar clansmen beside her.
"It can't be that direction, is it?"
