Chapter Eighty-Five: Stone Mine (Ask for Recommendation Votes!) )

"Lord Zhang Feng, if you don't know how to ride a horse, you may fall down while sitting in the back......"

Caroline explained very tactfully, the first time she saw Zhang Feng, who was a little embarrassed, Caroline thought it was so interesting, she wanted to be like an old hen and protect Zhang Feng in her arms.

"It's okay, I can't fall!"

Zhang Feng is uncompromising, a big man, sitting in a woman's arms like something! As a man, you still have to ask for dignity!

"That'...... All right. ”

Although her little abacus was not achieved, Caroline did not deliberately lose Zhang Feng's face, only to see her grab the saddle, flip it lightly, and come to Zhang Feng.

For Caroline's somewhat juggling thing, Zhang Feng was already prepared in his heart.

However, the horse was still slightly frightened, its front hooves raised slightly, and let out a neigh, Zhang Feng was startled, and subconsciously hugged Caroline's slender waist in front of him.

"Ah~ Lord Zhang Feng, what about so many people......"

Caroline twisted a little unnaturally.

Hearing Caroline's shyness, Zhang Feng explained with some embarrassment:

"I'm sorry, I thought I was going to fall!"

Caroline withdrew the reins, and the horse snorted and stood firmly on the ground.

Zhang Feng hugged Caroline's waist tightly and did not let go, so as to bring him a sufficient sense of security, he said to the Marlowe knight next to him:

"Let's go."

"Yes!"

Knight Marlowe nodded to Zhang Feng first, and then yelled at the more than twenty soldiers:

"Array, go!"

Marlowe turned over and got on his horse and walked in the front to open the way, Caroline followed behind Zhang Feng, while the soldiers walked and protected Zhang Feng in the middle.

Although the number of soldiers was not very large—at least in Zhang Feng's opinion, twenty was a few, but looking at their fully armed and majestic appearance, Zhang Feng still felt a different taste.

This kind of taste is not very easy to describe, if you say it hard, just one word - cool!

"Lord Zhang Feng, can you be lighter, I'm going to be out of breath......"

Suddenly, Caroline in front of her made a faint voice.

"Uh, ahem, okay!"

Zhang Feng found out that he was excited just now, and the strength in his hand was a little big, although Caroline was wearing a slim armor, but it still affected her a little, and the main reason was that Zhang Feng's hand was not in the right position, he hurriedly moved his hand down, only holding Caroline's waist.

……

Along the way, Zhang Feng and Caroline whispered, mainly Caroline introduced some of the surrounding situations to Zhang Feng, and Zhang Feng heard the most: This is also your territory!

After Zhang Feng really came out, he had an idea of the size of his baron's territory - it was very large, but it was very desolate.

Looking at these large tracts of desolate land, facing the cool breeze blowing, Zhang Feng tightened his neckline, he felt that he should do something in the coming spring.

Time was very fast, and under the leadership of Marlowe, we crossed the Senluo River and came to the edge of the Black Rock Forest.

In Zhang Feng's opinion, the Black Stone Forest was an ordinary forest, except for those trees that he didn't recognize, the other forests were not much different from the ones he saw on the Blue Star.

"Lord Zhang Feng, why don't I go in with Marlowe and find the kind of black stone you said, and you are waiting outside?" Caroline turned her head and asked in a whisper.

"No, you don't necessarily recognize you."

Zhang Feng directly refused, after all, they all came, and they all rubbed to the door, how could they not go in.

Caroline bit her lip, seeing that she couldn't persuade Zhang Feng, she secretly made up her mind that if she really encountered any danger, she would definitely protect Zhang Feng from injury.

The black stone forest is not as dark as Zhang Feng imagined, the sunlight shines on the ground through the leaves, and all kinds of brightly colored small flowers can be seen everywhere, looking at a harmonious scene in front of him, it seems that the air he breathes is sweeter.

Zhang Feng enjoyed the scenery of the Black Rock Forest, and the Marlo Knight led the soldiers to advance cautiously, although this is only the entrance to the Black Stone Forest, generally speaking, there is no danger, but after all, the city lord is here, he has to fight for twelve points.

Da Da Da ~ The horse's hooves made a soft noise as they trampled on the gravel.

"Stop!"

Marlowe suddenly stretched out his hand.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Feng, who was observing the scenery everywhere, was a little nervous, and the hand on Caroline's waist subconsciously tightened.

Caroline also had a serious gaze and silently put her hand on the hilt of the sword.

Marlowe dismounted, then crouched down and scratched at one place, and a handful of grayish-white hair appeared in Marlowe's hand.

"It's wolf hair, freshly shed."

When everyone heard this, they all cheered up, although a wolf is not terrible, but wolves are often in packs, and they must ensure that the city lord will not be injured.

The march slowed down, but after an hour of walking, approaching the stone pit, it still did not encounter any wild beasts.

"Whew~"

Zhang Feng took a deep breath to relieve his nervousness.

Although he loves small animals, he doesn't want to see them in this black rock forest, he prefers to meet them at the dinner table.

"If I'm not mistaken, there's the stone pit ahead."

Marlowe pointed to the less wooded area in the distance,

Zhang Feng looked at it, it was a bare stone forest, and he couldn't see anything.

"Let's go."

The last part of the journey was still safe, and nothing unexpected happened.

It was only at this time that Zhang Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and along the way, except for the lump of wolf hair, it was very calm, and it could be seen that the periphery of the Black Stone Forest was not so dangerous.

Coming to the stone pit, Zhang Feng dismounted, he wanted to jump directly, but before he could move, Caroline jumped down first, and then stretched out her hand.

"Lord Zhang Feng, I'll help you!"

Because the horse was too tall and the ground was full of stones, Caroline was afraid that Zhang Feng would be injured and hurt his feet or something.

Zhang Feng subconsciously held her hand.

Brush!

With Caroline's help, Zhang Feng landed steadily.

Zhang Feng's face was a little red, he was also a big man, but after he came out, he was taken care of by Caroline everywhere, which made him really embarrassed.

He made up his mind that after this incident, he must learn to ride a horse!

"Lord of the City, this is it."

The Marlowe knight pointed to the pit beneath his feet.

This big pit is about the size of a basketball court, not deep, and if Zhang Feng visually inspects it, it will only look like a meter.

The pit is full of stones of various sizes, most of which are black or gray stones, which is also the origin of the name of the Black Rock Forest.

The group walked around the pit and found a stone staircase.

"It depends on the situation, except for our Red Leaf City that has been used once, no one has used the stones here."

Marlowe explained.

Generally speaking, if a city needs stones, they will find stone merchants to buy them, and rarely do it themselves.

Because the stones sold by the stone merchants are selected for their size and beauty, and they have special people to transport them, they don't require you to use any effort, and they can even help you build the city walls, of course, what kind of service has what kind of price.

The reason why the previous city lord recruited people to dig stones by himself was for no other reason, just one word, poor.

Zhang Feng went down to the pit and picked up a small black stone and prepared to hand it to Marlowe.

"Smash it."

Caroline suddenly spoke first:

"Let me do it!"

Zhang Feng knew that Caroline wanted to help him, so he didn't refuse, and agreed with a smile.

"Okay."

Caroline picked up the black stone the size of a steamed bun and held it with one hand, and before Zhang Feng could react, she saw Caroline pinch it gently.

With a bang, the stone shattered.

“……”

The smile on Zhang Feng's face was a little stiff, a gust of cold wind blew, and he felt a little cold somewhere.

"Lord Zhang Feng, give!"
