When the time came to the ninetieth day after the founding of the city, a message popped up in the light curtain in Meng Chen's mind, "The road (1st order) has been built!" ”

Meng Chen's spirits lifted and he immediately came to the warehouse in the city.

A three-meter-wide blue-gray stone road connects the city's four warehouses and extends north to ten quarries three kilometers away.

A hundred coachmen changed into new carts and, escorted by ten swordsmen, marched along the stone road in the direction of the quarry.

With stone pavements and new trolleys, the drivers are three times more efficient, and now 100 drivers can transport as much as 300 drivers before.

"Looks like it's working well! After the inner city wall is completed, I will pave the entire inner city with stone pavement, so that it will look like a city! Meng Chen laughed.

。。。。。。

Just as Meng Chen was in high spirits and looking forward to the future, seven strange humans came to the northern mountain pass of the basin.

The seven strangers were dressed simply, carrying bamboo baskets, and led the way by an old man with a white beard.

Before entering the mountain pass, the old man who led the way deliberately gathered everyone together and explained: "There are fierce beasts everywhere in the Earth Dragon Valley, and it is very dangerous. Everyone must be vigilant, follow me closely, and never act alone. ”

"We know, Mu Lao!" Everyone responded in unison.

Then, Mu Lao said to a burly strong man: "Dashan, this time it's all up to you!" ”

Dashan patted his chest and said loudly: "Mu Lao, don't worry!" I'm a martial artist in the late stage of forging, as long as I don't encounter earth dragons or other beasts, I can stop them. ”

Mu Lao Zhengse said: "Mountain, don't take it lightly!" Although we will only be in the area north of the Earth Dragon Valley this time, there is also a herd of wild cattle and a herd of raccoons living there. If you are not careful, you will provoke wild bulls and raccoons, and everyone will be in danger! ”

Dashan touched his head, nodded and replied, "Oh, I'll be careful!" ”

Then, Mu Lao took the other six people and cautiously passed through the mountain pass and walked into the northern area of the basin.

Just as everyone was holding their breath and always guarding against sudden danger, there was a sound of metal knocking in the distance.

Ping! Ping! Ping......

"What's that sound?"

Not to mention the others, even Mu Lao looked puzzled.

At this time, Dashan proposed, "Mu Lao, this voice doesn't sound like the howl of a wild beast. Shall we go over and have a look?"

Mu Lao looked hesitant, and after a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go and have a look!" ”

Following the direction from which the voice came, Mu Lao led the other six people to move forward slowly.

It didn't take long for Mu Lao and the others to come to an open area, and the scene in front of them shocked everyone.

I saw that under a towering stone wall in the distance, ten huge mixed stone and wood buildings were lined up.

Hundreds of strange humans in yellow uniforms are standing on the stone wall with stone pickaxes in their hands, digging rocks one pick at a time.

Dashan swallowed his saliva and asked Mu Lao, "Mu Lao, didn't you say that Dilong Valley is uninhabited?"

Mu Lao also looked confused, and muttered to himself: "Impossible! Last year, it was just a desolate stone wall, but how can so many people and houses suddenly appear this year?"

Just as Mu Lao and the others were observing the quarry and the quarrymen, the guard team stationed in the quarry also noticed the seven strangers who suddenly appeared.

This quarry guard squad consists of 10 swordsmen and 10 marksmen.

After discovering Mu Lao and the others, the escort team surrounded them with a vigilant look.

Seeing that the escort team seemed to look bad, several timid villagers immediately hid behind the burly mountain.

"Mu Lao, they are coming around! They are wearing armor and have iron swords and longbows in their hands, shall we do it? Oyama asked, clenching his fists.

Mu Lao immediately stopped Dashan and said, "Don't be impulsive! I'm going to explain it to them. ”

After speaking, Mu Lao took two steps forward and said loudly to the swordsmen and archers who were surrounding: "Please don't get me wrong, we are not enemies!" We are villagers from Shanli Village, and we came to Dilong Valley this time just to pick some medicinal herbs. ”

For Mu Lao's shouting, the swordsmen and archers looked at a loss and didn't know what to do.

Note: NPCs in the game can only understand the lingua franca of the Federation. There are two lingua franca franca of the Federation, one is English and the other is Mandarin. Meng Chen spoke to NPCs in Mandarin.

Seeing the other party's blank look, Mu Lao immediately changed to another accent and repeated it.

However, Mu Lao's behavior is useless.

One of the swordsmen in the escort team spoke in Mandarin, "Who are you?" Why did you come here? ”

"Mu Lao, what is this guy talking about?" Dashan, who was standing behind Mu Lao, asked.

"......" Mu Lao was speechless, and said secretly in his heart: "How do I know what he is talking about?" ”

Seeing that Mu Lao and the others did not react, the swordsman repeated it in English.

When two parties communicate, they can't understand each other's language, which is a very troublesome thing.

Mu Lao began to try to communicate with gestures, and even Dashan joined in with great interest.

However, NPCs with stiff and rigid minds obviously can't understand what Mu Lao and Dashan mean.

After dancing for a long time, Mu Lao and Dashan, who had a dry mouth, completely gave up the idea of continuing to communicate.

Dashan said impatiently: "Mu Lao, why don't we leave directly!" These fools don't understand what we're saying. ”

Mu Lao nodded helplessly, "It seems that this can only be the case." Originally, I wanted to ask them to help escort me for a ride! ”

So, Mu Lao and the others slowly retreated, leaving the sight of the escort team.

The escort team was ordered to garrison the quarry, and since Mu Lao and the others did not attack the quarry, the escort team did not stop them from leaving.

Mu Lao and the others continued to march south along the stone road, and the villagers began to talk about it, "Those people were so strange just now, their hair was colorful, and their skin was yellow, white and even black. Don't...... Are they the legendary youkai? ”

"Nonsense! I've heard that youkai are very rare, how can there be so many? ”

"That's right! If they were monsters, they would have eaten us a long time ago! ”

"Do youkai dig stones? Do youkai build houses? Do youkai build roads? Look at this stone road, it is long, wide, and flat, just like the one in Wumeng City! ”

“……”

Dashan asked Mu Lao curiously: "Mu Lao, those people just now don't look like they are from our southern Xinjiang!" Are you well-informed enough to know where these people come from? ”

When the rest of the villagers heard this, they immediately pricked up their ears and stared at Mu Lao, waiting for an answer.

"Ahem!" Mu Lao coughed, shook his head and said, "I don't know either!" But ......"
