Chapter 151: The Storm

A peaceful day passed like this.

As the overseas islands approach March, the storm season is approaching.

The day after Sauron returned, there was a heavy rainfall, although the amount of rain cannot be counted, but it did rain heavily, and many houses had slight water leaks. This is also something that cannot be helped, the level of craftsmanship in this era is limited, and there will inevitably be losses in the event of strong winds and rains. This is still Sauron's preparation for the climate of the overseas islands for a long time, otherwise it may be directly demolished if it is replaced with a thatched-roof house on the mainland.

A crackling torrential rain fell.

Even though Sauron had planned the drainage canals in advance, he could also emphasize the repair of the roads. In the end, the water rose slightly, the ditch was not deep enough because it had just been dug out, and the drainage was too low, and the road was a little potholed because of the heavy rain. The paved road is a little better, but all the roads with dirt are now muddy, and basically there is no way for cars and horses to pass. Because of this heavy rain, the slaves were unable to work, and now they were all taken into custody, and guards were sent to keep an eye on slowing down the epidemic.

The natives were a little better, the mainland slaves who had just been brought over, some of them were unaccustomed to vomiting and diarrhea, but fortunately, there were no casualties when a doctor came with them.

Not having a pastor is a hassle!

The overseas archipelago has a harsh climate, with frequent stormy seasons, and because it belongs to the Storm Lord's faith area, storms here are often accompanied by thunderstorms!

For example, now.

Waves of lightning streaked across the sky, slashing down on the rainforest in the distance, as if someone was on a catastrophe!

This rain is a whole day.

If it was a wooden house, it was probably already wet inside.

However, Sauron had already built many brick houses, which in this respect were more adapted to the climate of the overseas islands, and at the same time more resistant to storms.

Because of the rainstorm, the whole camp fell silent.

The pirates hid inside their houses to shelter from the rain. The three taverns were already overcrowded, and it was dark outside, and it was difficult to see clearly from five meters away.

"The climate! ……”

Goliath looked up at the sky, stood beside Sauron, reached out and held his palm, and said slowly: "I'm afraid it's not so suitable for farming, if there is often such weather, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the seeds to survive." ”

Sauron nodded lightly and said with a solemn expression, "I know." ”

"Fortunately, the seeds have not been sown this time, otherwise I am afraid that they would have been washed away. There's so much to build to open up this place. Drainage and irrigation ditches, flood control dams, all of which require a lot of labor, can only be done step by step. This climate is not impossible to change, and I will prepare for the sea god sacrifice in two days. β€œ

Hearing this, Goliath frowned slightly, and said slowly, "With the power of the gods?" ”

"The price of asking for help from the gods is not small! It's a pity that I haven't advanced to the Legend yet, otherwise I could use the power of the Wizard Tower and the circle to forcibly reverse the climate in the nearby area. ”

Sauron turned to look at her, reaching out to take Goliath's delicate body into his arms. He said in a deep voice, "There's no need to do that. ”

"It's too much consumption!"

"Unless there is a wizard tower to maintain the consumption of energy, although there is no problem in forcibly reversing the weather for the time being, there will still be side effects in the future."

"Nature is mysterious!"

"Unless it's a force that can change the world, it's better to go with the flow."

Gloria didn't understand Sauron's words. She could understand the words separately, but even she felt a little strange when they were connected. But she was a wise witch after all, and she roughly understood what Sauron meant.

She nodded slightly, resting her head on Sauron's shoulder. Said slowly: "You can use the power of the gods in a short time, but in the long run, you will become dependent, which is not conducive to your rule here." The influence of the gods will be higher than your prestige. ”

Sauron took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I know. ”

"Just get through this time."

Thundered!

A bolt of lightning fell, and the lightning danced like a dragon and a snake.

Sauron stood under the eaves and stared at the sky, his eyes as if he had seen more through the space.

It was the realm of the gods, and there was the power he needed.

………………

A torrential rain took three days to stop.

Sauron's camp was a little waterlogged, which was a bit of a headache, but it also exposed some shortcomings in the construction plan. After the torrential rain stopped, he quickly mobilized manpower to repair it, and at the same time repaired all the damaged roads and houses. After the rainstorm, the sky is clear, it seems that there will be no storm in a short time, from the climate point of view, farming here needs a bit of character, the wind and rain need to be smooth, but the strength is strong enough to a certain degree dΓΉ can also change the climate and celestial phenomena.

A busy morning passed quickly.

After the initial inseparability, Sauron and Goliath also found their usual routine.

Sauron was busy setting up camps, while practicing spells to master [proficient spellcasting], and training combat skills in the afternoon, with Drow Elf and Adele as his sparring partners. Gloria usually conducts research in the house, occasionally going out and about, and lately the man-eating plants have caught her attention a little, but she quickly turned to the study of the shadow plane. Goliath hopes to build a portal that will use the gap in the shadow plane to secure the connection between the two worlds.

This allows them to return to the material plane at any time while exploring the Wizard Tower and close the portal at the same time.

This is the safest way!

In addition, they maintain a frequency of once every three days, enjoying each other's time as two.

Neither Sauron nor Goliath are the kind of people who easily indulge in lust, they have a pursuit that is higher than the material body, which is above the realm of the mundane.

Probably because of Golia's existence, the evil aura on Sauron's body was much lighter than before.

This made many pirates grateful to the witch, knowing that Sauron in the past was definitely a murderous and bloody man, and the pirates under his command were always more fearful than respectful of him. Now Sauron kills less, and even if some of his men make mistakes, more are only flogged.

It's better to be whipped than to lose your head!

………………

The slave began to get busy.

There are still many things to be done in the camp to develop, and it is really not easy to start from scratch.

Sometimes even Sauron gets tired.

But it's worth it, because the foundation has been laid here, and even those drow elves, after seeing the growth of this place with their own eyes, gradually have a little more sense of identity.

There are even drow warriors who have migrated here.

It's safer, more comfortable, more convenient, with plenty of food, good equipment, and all kinds of daily necessities.

But.

Because there are still people within the Drow who are worried that Sauron will switch from cooperation to annexation and completely eat the entire Drow group, the female Drow Elves in the group are quite opposed to this.

Sauron wasn't in a hurry.

He was going to leave it to time, and if the time came for them not to understand, then don't blame Sauron for using some cruel means.

A large area of wasteland had been cleared to the south of the camp.

However, the seeds have not yet been planted, and it is estimated that they will not be able until around March. The construction of houses was still in full swing, and Sauron's initial plan of nearly 500 houses was enough to house all of his men, even a small number of slaves. The sorcerer Saruman had already begun to study how to turn struvite into high-quality fertilizer, and it was estimated that the results would be in a month or so, and by that time the cultivation of the land had almost begun, and the slaves brought from the mainland had mastered the deep ploughing work.

Cultivation here has to be done with precision farming.

Recently, Sauron had learned from his men that Saruman was interested in man-eating plants, which aroused his curiosity.

Fortunately, Saruman didn't delay his business, and Sauron didn't bother to ask.

In the afternoon.

Sauron was practicing his crow swordsmanship at the training grounds, and just as he was finishing his battle with Adele, the shouts of slaves and pirates could suddenly be heard in the distance.

Bang!

Sauron seemed to hear something, and the figure immediately swept out of the air, and immediately rushed in the direction of the cultivated land.

One after another, vigorous figures rose from the ground.

Sauron's pirate leaders ran out, leaping up and down on the rooftops of their houses, and then speeding toward the fields.

A vigorous and growing force has given them a sense of belonging.

Nearly ten pirate leaders with strength around the fourth rank quickly approached, and then they all jumped over the fence and rushed towards the reclaimed land. Rushing to the front was naturally Sauron, and as his figure gradually approached, he immediately saw two huge bipedal pterosaurs in front of him. They swooped down from the sky with their wings, their huge claws piercing through the two indigenous slaves in an instant, and in a near-death scream, the Betsy pterodactyl grabbed its prey like an eagle and flew off into the distance.

"Look for death!"

Sauron's face was gloomy, and when he saw the Betsy hunting his own slave in front of his eyes, a trace of anger and murder immediately rose in his heart.

Suck!

Tremble!

Sauron's elven warbow appeared in his palm, and when the distance was narrowed to within range, he fired a series of arrows one after another, most of which hit the biped pterodactyl, but most of them hit the dragon's wings, and did not hit the enemy's vital point.

The Betsy let out a wail, and its figure swayed slightly, but it still flew farther and farther.

"Want to run?!"

Sauron chanted the incantation with a blank face, and his figure soared directly into the air.

- "Flying!" ”

His figure flew into the sky, and in an instant, he took his bow again, aiming at the belly of the Betsy!
