65. Scheme
It was late at night.
The villagers, who had been sleepy, were now sitting in the tent in sorrow, or standing outside the tent talking to each other and seeking comfort.
The only people who can sleep now may be a few children who don't remember anything.
In the trivial communication of everyone outside the tent.
"Hey~ I really want to use wine to drown my sorrows..."The worried man squatted on the edge of the tent and chatted with the man who looked a little courageous.
"Stop talking nonsense, what if the enemy comes overnight?" The courageous man drew his sword from his waist, intending to polish the rust with a stone borrowed from the blacksmith's shop.
"What if you came?" The other party sighed, "I don't drink, and I'm not necessarily much better than drinking... How can you beat a goblin, do you see the appearance of the village chief? That sick posture, as if he tried his best to kill the goblin, was also seriously injured by the goblin. ”
"Be quiet!" The courageous male accused, "This is baseless, where did you hear it, don't affect the morale of everyone!" ... Mr. Village Chief may just be old, so we can't rely on him for everything, right?! ”
"I'm sorry... Also, the only one I can rely on now is the dragon-slaying hero Rodney, and I don't know if it's as powerful as the legend says, and I can get there before the goblin army..."
"I said, don't you have any self-preservation? What about your sword? The courageous male said disdainfully, "It can't be that you didn't bring it out of the house, do you?" ”
"How is it possible~" The worried man seemed to laugh at the ignorant tone, "Of course, bring weapons as soon as there is danger, and when everyone walks to the mine in the evening, I think the goblin has already come, and I may be able to find a glimmer of life with that scrap iron." ”
"Scrap Iron," the courageous male was a little indignant, "how can you say that the Holf blacksmith has made us a weapon?" ”
"Hi... It had been handed down from my father, and it was so rusty that it couldn't be pulled out, and it was still stuck in the scabbard, which I had just discovered. ”
"So what are you waiting for!? Why don't you hurry up and find a way!? ”
"What can we do, pull out eighty percent of it and be vulnerable, and just let Horf give us a new fight?"
"I also think... But everyone's weapons have to be built, and they don't even have armor, so how can they be in time..."
At this moment, Rebecca went back to the house to accompany her father.
Xia Zuo scattered a depressed pace outside the tent, sometimes looking up at the spectacle of the "double moon" night sky - red and blue, surrounded by stars, looking at it makes people feel refreshed and regulates their emotions... Sometimes he kicks the stones at his feet impatiently.
Thinking that killing the Goblin Knight and giving a goblin shaman would give him a goblin shaman, and realizing that the danger was approaching, the villagers would know the time and escape, and he had also made a big enough contribution to the operation to protect the safety of the villagers, and the village chief informed the king and gave him a chance to ask for a reward... Xia Zuo thought about it, but he didn't expect that the village chief would let everyone stay!
Unless the Goblin Knights and Shamans are very far away from their large army, the Goblin Army may come at any time, and these villagers have no combat effectiveness.
Even if they try their best, if they suffer heavy casualties and end up with little left, it will be useless.
At this moment, Xia Zuo heard the second half of the conversation between the two men.
Weapons? Armor? Short-term? Nearby are mines and blacksmiths... It seems like something I can do.
Xia Zuo knocked on his palm, and immediately walked in the direction of the village chief's tent, the current matter should improve the chances of winning, and the possibility should not be let go at all.
Speaking of which, this is the first time since he came back that he took the initiative to talk to the old village chief, and I don't know if he realized that he was initially minding the problem of teaching magic... Although I know about the past from Rebecca now, I don't particularly mind.
Not far from the torch turn, there was the village chief's tent.
Xia Zuo was a little distracted, or it was difficult to notice the short figure.
"Huh~"
Xia Zuo almost bumped into the opponent and automatically dodged sideways... At the same time, it startled the man.
"Oops... Guest~" Holf soothed his chest and said to himself.
“... Uncle Blacksmith. Xia Zuo found out that it was him, and he was almost pushed to the chest... No, it should never be topped.
Xia Zuo also noticed that he had taken back control, and it was clear that Horf was also in danger of rushing towards him at the same time and hitting him, but his body did not fight back against him.
This gradually confirmed Xia Zuo's previous conjecture that counterattacks would not work on non-hostile targets.
"I have one thing in mind, I have to tell the village chief and ask him to write it down in my credit letter." Xia Zuo said.
"I also have one thing in mind, and I would like to ask you very much, and I have just informed the village chief of this matter, and he approves of it, and asked me to ask you, guest." Horff said.
"Let me strike iron?" Thinking about it, Xia Zuo raised an eyebrow, "Forging armor and weapons for the villagers?" ”
"That's right!" Thinking of going together, Horf nodded with laughter, and suddenly twisted abnormally again, "That... The village chief said that he did not have a good memory, and that he had just recalled a magic spell and said that if you finish it, he will recite it to you. ”
"It's not particularly important," Xia Zuo laughed disdainfully, what a lame lie, "but there is one thing that must be done, and he will finally describe the things I have done to build equipment for the villagers into a letter to the king." ”
"Hey, of course~" Holf knocked his head with his fingers blaming himself, "I forgot about this, the village chief also mentioned it, and I will definitely help you record it, the magic spell is just extra..."
"That's good, without further ado, let's start with mining," Xia Zuo glanced at the direction of the mine, there were already a lot of tents placed on the side of the tracks, which would block the passage of minecarts, "We have to move the tents first, call Ola, Grim... And the strong men in the village, mining requires a lot of manpower, and I can't be alone. ”
Because players have a certain chance of encountering "amber" monsters when mining, but now that they have sword and enchantment abilities, Xia Zuo wants to kill monsters like ancient werewolves, it shouldn't be a difficult thing, and he is afraid of delaying the mining process, so let's have a faster guarantee.
"Ah, Grim has been commissioned by the village chief to explore the entrance to the village... But no problem with others! There are quite a few men in the village," Horf patted his chest, "I'm going to call all the men and bring the pickaxe out of the house... But there's one thing..."
"What?" Seeing Horf's sudden hesitation, Xia Zuo asked.
"There are only a few pickaxes in the blacksmith shop at the moment, which is not enough, so I may have to bother the guests to forge some with me."
"That's easy." Forged iron picks, the forging grade is not high.
To be able to build a fairly good one-handed sword, the iron pickaxe is naturally not a problem, and Xia Zuo is full of confidence at the moment.
