Chapter 207: This Weather Makes People Can't Live (2/4)
Two days later, Doras took Link and Celine into the Field Wilderness.
After ten minutes of running in the wilderness, Doras couldn't help it, "Link, this is your territory?" Seriously, I've lived for almost 400 years, and it's the most barren place I've ever seen, and I'm squatting here and shitting my ass. ”
Celine also frowned: "This situation is much worse than I imagined." ”
Along the way, Link was saying that the territory was very barren, and a person and a tiger were also mentally prepared, and it was normal for the wilderness to be barren, but it was still difficult to accept it when he really saw it.
This is not just barren, this is a mess of stones, and it is useless to smash any gold coins.
Although Link is ambitious and has a plan in mind, the reality is indeed a bit bad, and he can only laugh dryly: "It's going to get better, it's only temporary." ”
As he spoke, the weather changed, and the wind began to blow, and after ten minutes, the wind became stronger, with raindrops in it, and after another ten minutes, the heavens completely turned their faces, and greeted the two guests who had just entered the wilderness with a storm mixed with hail.
"No wonder you're talking about changing the climate." Celine was taken aback by this violent weather, Doras burst out with an air elemental shield, they didn't get caught in the rain or hit by the hail, but in the face of this climate, what should ordinary people do? How do you grow crops in this place?
Doras walked through the mud step by step, and he cautiously asked Link, "You said you were going to hire someone to serve me, can I choose to give up?" As long as you let me stay in Gwent Forest. ”
He felt that this place was not suitable for him to live in the Howling Wind Demon Tiger, and if he stayed here, his life would be shortened by 100 years.
"We all said okay, you're going to regret it so quickly? What about the credibility of the Howling Wind Tiger Clan? Link asked rhetorically.
"Ah~~~~~h
Doras roared sadly and continued helplessly, he felt that he had been pitted, but he was a trustworthy Howling Wind Tiger for the tigress that Link had promised, and he endured it!
After walking for more than half a day, Scorched Earth Ridge appeared in view.
Although there are no magicians in Scorched Earth Ridge at the moment, everything must be taken care of, before entering the camp, Link handed a delicate necklace to Celine: "Camouflage pendant, it can completely shield your body, and there is a storage space inside." ”
This is what Link built in the carriage on the way south, and although it was in a hurry, it was still delicate and immaculate under Link's obsessive-compulsive disorder.
The main body of the necklace made of krypton gold shone with a purple glow like lavender, mixed with the luster of broken stars of silver, and finally on the pendant was the high-quality material used to create space equipment, Duokun Stone, which was polished by Link to be crystal clear.
Celine liked it at a glance, but she didn't reach out to take it, raised her chin slightly, and said to Link behind her, "You put it on for me." ”
Link smiled softly and gently placed the pendant on Celine's slender neck, and from his angle, he could inadvertently see the breathtaking white light inside Celine's collar.
After glancing at it, Link's heart jumped heavily, and he hurriedly withdrew his gaze and coughed lightly: "Doras, don't lose your temper when you arrive at the camp, and don't joke with people, it will cause panic." ”
"Got it. Don't forget the promise you made. ”
Link said to Celine again: "When you get to the territory, you don't show your skills at will, just keep a sense of mystery." ”
"And what am I?" Celine turned her head and looked at Link with a smile.
The question was difficult to answer, and Link thought about it for more than ten seconds before saying, "You're a good friend of a friend I brought back from the South, well, that's it." ”
He wanted to say it more intimately, but he was afraid that Celine would be unhappy and said that he was estranged, and he himself was not very willing, so he eventually became good friends.
Celine sighed and turned around, the expression on her face was not unhappy, but she was not happy either, and the matter was settled.
Link has only been going south for 4 days, these days, Scorched Earth Ridge has basically been spent in a storm, from a distance, Link can vaguely see potholes on the ground, there are wooden planks broken by the wind everywhere, and occasionally there are figures, they also run in a hurry, and then they shrink into the house.
In such a climate, the harbor cannot be built, and everything else in the territory must have stopped, and a group of people huddled in the house, basically in a state of boredom and waiting.
The climate problem must be solved as soon as possible. Link felt that the problem was very urgent, and it had greatly affected the progress of the construction of the territory.
Fortunately, the vigilance of the Flamingo mercenary group still satisfied Link, and when Doras appeared more than 50 meters away from the city wall, although it was already stormy at this time, the alarm horn of the enemy attack sounded from the highest watchtower.
After a while, the warriors who had been cowering in the watchtower and hiding in the corner tower of the city wall to avoid the rain and wind rushed out in the heavy rain, and after more than ten seconds, the heavily armed Ark also appeared on the city wall.
The speed of the reaction made Link nod in satisfaction.
At this time, Ark also saw Link on the back of the tiger, he wiped the rain from his face, raised his hand to stop the archers beside him, and shouted, "It's the lord who has returned, put down his weapons!" ”
The mercenaries also saw Link, and their originally nervous minds relaxed.
Such a giant beast with a height of more than four meters, the oppressive force is very huge, but the lord actually sits on its back, this should be no problem, in the eyes of these mercenaries, the lord is omnipotent, even if he rides a giant tiger and brings back a beautiful woman, it is normal.
Entering Scorched Earth Ridge through the camp gate, Link and Celine disembarked from Doras's back, and Ark, Gridan, and Lucy had already braved the rain to meet them.
Link waved his hand and said, "Don't stand outside, go inside and talk." ”
Then, he said to a mercenary captain: "You go find some workers, you must have enough manpower, and you must build a big shed within an hour to come out and give Doras shelter from the rain." No, this is this temporary arrangement, and it will be distributed according to the regulations. ”
Link handed the 10 gold coins to the mercenary captain.
The workers who came to his territory were all free people, who came from the Winter Forest to make money, and his lord's orders were not very easy to use, so he could only open the way with gold coins, and the specific salary, both parties had a detailed agreement, such as rushing to work in the rain, working for half a day, a worker would be paid 1 silver coin.
In this regard, Link never defaulted, and always settled the bill directly after finishing the work, so although the living conditions in this camp were poor, there was still a stable group of workers following Link.
"Yes, sir." The mercenary captain turned around and went to organize the workers.
Link said to Lucy, "Go and call the head chef, slaughter a cow and roast it for Doras." Oh, Doras is the name of this tiger. ”
At this time, Doras spoke directly: "One cow is not enough, if you want two, you don't need to roast it for me, just give it to me, I'm dying of hunger." ”
His words startled everyone, but being able to speak means that they can communicate, and everyone's fear suddenly dropped a lot.
Lucy went straight to the corral to fetch the cow, and Doras knew that there was something to eat, and followed Lucy honestly.
Link and the others entered the house.
Arriving in the hall, Link introduced to the crowd, "This is Celine. Fran is an apprentice to me and a good friend of mine. ”
This magic apprentice was the brainchild of Link, but he remembered Celine's experience of studying magic at Fleming School of Magic.
Subsequently, Link introduced Celine to Ark and others.
Yak and the others greeted Celine, Celine also responded appropriately, with a warm smile on her face, Link looked at her carefully, wanting to see what she thought, but his usual vicious observation ability was not effective at this time, and after watching it several times, he just couldn't understand Celine's mind, and finally he simply didn't want to.
At this time, Lucy also came over, and Link introduced her to Celine again.
Lucy's eyes were much sharper, her eyes turned between Celine and Link a few times, she suddenly smiled, and then said enthusiastically: "Celine, you are so handsome." ”
But it was to transfer the praise that Link's mother Lilith had given her that day to Celine.
Celine smiled: "Sister Lucy, you are also a great beauty." ”
Lucy sighed a little: "I'm old." ”
As she spoke, she subconsciously glanced at Link, who didn't pay attention and was chatting with Ark, and Lucy had some disappointment in her eyes. Celine found out, and suddenly felt like a big enemy, no, this Lucy also seems to like Link, she has to be careful.
Link didn't expect the secret scheming between women, he sat down at the long table, and said, "This kind of weather is indeed a delay, but I have found some solutions, in a week, I will go out again, and when I return, I will start to act." ”
This is a heart booster, everyone who said it showed a look of hope on their faces, although the territory is very barren, but there is still hope for change, only the weather is this thing, too cheating, manpower is really unable to fight, now Link has a way, everyone is relieved in their hearts.
The atmosphere suddenly became lively, and everyone spoke one after another, talking about future plans, Link listened on the side, occasionally interjecting a few words, but discussed several feasible methods.
At this time, there was a person outside the door, but it was Carrido, a magician from the mercenary group.
Carrido has been in Gwent Forest lately, his role is the Magical Affairs Officer, and currently, he is mainly the middleman between Link and the merchant White, responsible for giving the magical equipment that Link has built to White and settling the payment, so most of the time, he is not in the territory, but today he just came back.
He saluted Link first, and then handed over a spatial bracelet: "Lord, this is the income this time. ”
Link glanced at it, there were roughly fifteen thousand gold coins in it, and it was another big receipt, he was happy in his heart, thought about it, and handed the space bracelet back to Carrido: "You take this money to the East Valley, find Master Voss Minglun, and order a large ploughing puppet." ”
Master Voss Minlun is the best at making all kinds of magic puppets, commonly known as puppets, which is greatly reflected in his notebook, so Link needs puppets and thinks of him.
Carrido was stunned for a moment, but didn't understand: "Ploughing puppets? ”
Link explained: "Yes, I have seen that the land in the territory does not exceed half a meter of gravel, and below it is the soil that can be used to grow crops, as long as the soil is turned up, the territory can grow crops." ”
Elsewhere, the surface is dirt and the bottom is stone, but the Field Wilderness is the opposite, which is one of the great wonders of this wilderness. One reason for this deep ploughing puppet is to turn out the dirt, and the second reason is that Link is ready to mine the anti-magic clay.
This time, Carrido understood, nodded and said, "I'll do it." ”
"Don't rush, rest for a few days." Link waved his hand, then handed a magic book called "Breath of the Wind" to Carrido and said, "This book should be helpful to you, you should study it carefully." ”
With a look of gratitude on his face, Carrido respectfully took the spellbook and carefully put it away.
Link's recommended magic books are not simple, he has read five books now, and his understanding of magic is completely different from the past, and he is now a half-academy magician, no longer the wild way of the past.
After that, the group discussed things for a while, and then Link prepared to arrange a place for Celine to live.
Lucy said, "The camp cabin is full, Sister Celine will live with me these days, and then move in after the new cabin is built in a few days." ”
Link thought it was good and looked at Celine, who nodded her head so that she could probe this Lucy's mind.
After that, there was nothing to do, Link left the council hall, ready to go back to the house to build a few magical equipment, and the wand of the old Waynes guy was also ready, changing the climate was imminent, and the trip to the dungeon was naturally as soon as possible.
When he walked out of the hut, he saw Doras under a large canopy, munching on a large piece of roasted meat with relish, and looking at his appearance, he wished to chew and swallow the bones, and there was a bloody piece of raw beef beside him, but he did not even look at it.
Well, this savage kid has been conquered by the chef's barbecue skills. (To be continued.) )
