Chapter 209: Meeting at Night
"Haha, it's true that my mom is the head teacher. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" A holy sword knight smiled, he didn't feel embarrassed at all, "We have a business going back this time, the third quickly take out the things you brought." ”
The third child was carrying a large backpack sewn from linen, like this linen bag sewn by the pioneers himself and the [linen bag] made with tailoring skills were different, Yang Yi couldn't see the attribute information of the item when he looked at it with the eyes of the lord.
The third child put down the linen bag, and he opened it, and the contents were very inconspicuous, looking like a mass of weeds and grass roots.
"What is this?" Yang Yi questioned.
"These are grass stems and roots collected from the bushes of the barren land, and these things are mixed together, and when they are set on fire, they emit a thick black smoke." A knight of the holy sword explained.
"Black smoke? This is something that is used as a pyrotechnic signal? ”
"Yes, the barren land is a flat river, we can't outrun the centaur on two legs and four legs, and burning this thing as wolf smoke works best."
There are no mobile phones or internet in the world of Azeroth, and communication is not smooth. But the pioneers had a lot of brains, and they had already come up with all sorts of ideas to deal with the problem when they roamed the world, such as collecting bushes and grass that could be found everywhere in the barren land and burning them as improvised beacons, which was already common among the pioneers.
"Beacon, that's a good idea."
Yang Yi remembered that the ship of the Brotherhood of Difia ran aground on the island before, and also used fireworks to transmit rescue signals, which was more effective than his eagle eye technique.
"This thing is easy to use, I asked the fishmen from Ratchet Town to follow you and collect more materials for emitting black smoke, which is just right for dealing with centaurs this time."
Yang Yi was not polite, he asked the three members of the Holy Sword Knights to help.
The three agreed.
For the next two days, the fish-man's scout party had been arranged, and the Kokar centaurs did not appear.
Yang Yi has been staying in the backwater village of the backwater oasis, and the level 3 earthen city wall has been being built step by step under the command of Garne Mathers. Yang Yi didn't do much to help except supervise the work of the fish-man builders, and most of the time he stayed in the backwater village, fishing by the lake with a fishing rod.
The water of the lake in the backwater oasis has been purified, and the source of pollution has been stopped after Yang Yi pulled out the card of the oil prospector last time, and now the lake is clear, but the pincer-billed turtles in the lake are still irritable, and the white mushrooms by the lake are still poisonous, it seems that there is something else in the lake.
Yang Yi suspected that it was the Minotaur Tuga Rune Totem and Mu Xiaolan who had been investigating what they had been investigating, the so-called mysterious energy beneath the Barren Lands.
The Fishmen are busy building the Deadwater Village, and the Pioneers outside the Deadwater Fishman Village are gathering more and more, and they are all discussing the level 3 earthen wall that is being built.
"This wall is built high enough, if the city wall is built, I am afraid it will not be easy to capture this place without siege equipment." A pioneer said as he looked up at the 5-meter-high earthen wall.
"We underestimated these fishmen before, but we didn't expect them to be so capable of building."
"It's not all the work of the fishmen, you see that those who are in command are all humans. I heard that this 5-meter-high earthen wall is a medium-sized structure of level 3, and it requires at least level 6 builders to build, so it seems that these humans are not simple. ”
"It can't be said that it's not the merit of the fish-people, it's also a kind of ability for the fish-people to hire level 6 builders, our guild wants to build a small village, but none of those aboriginal builders are willing to come."
"That's because your guild didn't have a good relationship with the aborigines, and you didn't find the right person, I heard that the people of the Glory Guild plan to build their own village this time, and they have hired a few junior goblin builders from venture capital companies."
……
The pioneers chatted outside the backwater village, and everyone was amazed that the fish-man could build a level 3 earthen city wall so quickly, and even more people didn't expect the fish-man to invite so many high-level builders to help build it at the same time.
Pioneers have been in the world of Azeroth for so long, and there have been plans to build their own strongholds. The pioneers did not have the construction skills of the Aboriginal people, so they were much slower to build houses, and they needed sufficient knowledge of architecture to do so. But this is not difficult for the pioneers, there are all kinds of talents among the pioneers, and there is no shortage of architectural talents.
After the major forces hired enough construction talents, they began to build houses by themselves, although the speed was a little slower, but they could build spacious and bright houses in a year and a half.
But this pace is too slow, and many people still have no houses to live in. What's more, the pioneers didn't build buildings with construction skills, and the pioneers found that no matter how much they were built like aboriginal houses, the aborigines just didn't pay for them.
For example, some forces want to develop blacksmiths, so they built a house that looks exactly the same according to the aboriginal level 1 blacksmith shop, but the aboriginal blacksmith invited said that this is not a level 1 blacksmith shop at all, and the blacksmith's forging skills cannot be used at all.
For those pioneers who just want a place to shelter from the wind and rain, a room is sufficient, but for some big forces who want to grow and grow, this becomes a problem. These big forces knew that the pioneers could not learn skills, so they had already thought of recruiting aborigines with various talents for their own use, so it was necessary to give these invited aboriginal talents a place to display their skills.
Therefore, many forces are trying all kinds of ways to find aboriginal builders, and in the current situation, the builders of the major races of the tribe and alliance forces cannot be hired unless there are special circumstances, and they can only go to a neutral or money-eyed race like goblins, and they can only hire the lowest level builders.
There were more and more pioneers outside the Fish-Man Village in the backwater, and many people refused to disperse, wondering if they could take a few high-level Aboriginal human builders from the Fish-Man.
Lu Xiaoming also came to the level 3 earthen city wall of the Deadwater Fishman Village, and he was followed by the sycophant basket and the military master boy known as the rat as usual, in addition to his five capable generals.
Lu Xiaoming has always liked to swagger, and this time he only brought seven people out, which was an exception for him, which surprised the sycophants who had been following his ass.
"Tsk, this wall is built high enough, I didn't expect these fishmen to have a good hand." Lu Xiaoming put his hands on the bucket waist and raised his fat neck hard and said.
"Young master, I think I can inform the centaurs to set off." Sycophant basket reminded.
Lu Xiaoming didn't make a decision right away, he looked back at the young man who was called a mouse.
The mouse looked at the earthen city wall thoughtfully, the construction speed of the fish-man was greatly beyond his original expectations, until he saw Lu Xiaoming looking at him, he said: "It is actually not good for us to destroy this fish-man village, but since the centaurs like to do this, we might as well continue to cooperate with them and inform the centaurs to come tomorrow." ”
The rat opened his mouth, and Lu Xiaoming signaled the sycophant basket to arrange for someone to notify the centaur.
"You guys go back first." After Lu Xiaoming finished arranging things, he suddenly spoke, "Young Master Ben needs to be quiet, he wants to walk alone." ”
"Young Master wants to walk alone? It's too dangerous to be alone, let the little basket stay with the young master. "The sycophants hurried to show loyalty.
"me! Get out of the way of Young Master Ben! ”
Lu Xiaoming didn't say a word, and directly blasted away his followers.
Lu Xiaoming only brought a few people out this time, and they felt strange at the beginning, and now Lu Xiaoming wants to drive them all away, which is even more strange, but they are forced by Lu Xiaoming's obscenity, and no one dares to say anything, and they all obediently walk away.
A few hours later, it was getting dark in the barrens.
Yang Yi walked alone to the opposite shore of the lake in the backwater fishman village, near the place where Mu Xiaolan and Applejack had chosen to light a fire for the night.
Yang Yi was carrying a hard short bow, and now he had changed back into his human form.
"Damn, it's dark and cold at night, what kind of time and place did Lu Xiaoming choose." Yang Yi complained.
This time, Lu Xiaoming asked Yang Yi to come out to meet, and the location was chosen nearby, and the time was deliberately set for the evening. However, the temperature difference between day and night in this barren place is very large, and tonight is particularly cold for some reason, Yang Yi is not afraid of the cold when he is in the form of a fishman, but the human form can not stand the cold wind blowing at night on the plains.
Yang Yi hesitated for a long time after receiving the letter sent by Lu Xiaoming, but finally decided to come to see Lu Xiaoming.
Yang Yi endured the cold wind and searched around the neighborhood, only to find a person curled up on the ground in the dark, his whole body still trembling.
"Woo, brother, you're here!" The man cried out pitifully with a crying voice.
This person who shrunk into a ball of meat and was still trembling was Lu Xiaoming, he saw Yang Yi appear with a handful of snot and tears, and he didn't know if he was frozen by the cold wind or too moved to see Yang Yi.
"I said what are you doing squatting on the ground, why don't you light a fire?" Yang Yi asked.
"Brother, I won't light a fire." Lu Xiaoming wanted to cry without tears, and he didn't think about making a fire to keep warm before he came.
Under normal circumstances, the pioneers have to light a bonfire to keep warm when they want to stay in the wild at night, but Lu Xiaoming has always brought a large number of followers, and he never needs to make a fire by himself, he can't make a fire at all, so he can only squat to avoid the wind.
"Look at your little talent, how long have you been in this world, and you haven't even learned how to make a fire." Yang Yi walked over and pulled Lu Xiaoming up as he spoke.
"Brother, will you make a fire? I'm freezing to death. Lu Xiaoming asked Yang Yi eagerly, thinking that he had finally found a savior.
"This ......" Yang Yuan subconsciously touched the flax bag on his body, and after a long pause, he smiled bitterly: "I think I'll squat with you." ”
Yang Yi has been in the world of Azeroth as a fishman for a long time, so he doesn't have the tools to make a fire on his body at all, and now he can't get it if he asks him to drill wood for fire.
"Then let's squat together, woo woo......" Lu Xiaoming really cried this time.
Yang Yi was also very cold, he hurriedly went over and squatted with Lu Xiaoming on the wasteland of the backwater oasis. (To be continued.) )
