Early the next morning, before dawn, the fat man excitedly called everyone up, everyone was a little reluctant, after all, last night's hot spring bath was really a little too watery, the fat man didn't care about everyone's emotions, still shouted excitedly: "Brothers, the beauty of the green cedar and red rouge is only for a while, and you have to wait for a month if you miss it." ”

Yuexi they followed the fat man to the fir forest area not far from the enclave, the advance team found a patch of wild oily fir forest in this area, and some people began to breed cochineal on the fir tree with a part of the tree house, cochineal is a very special insect, it can effectively combine the special varieties of fir leaves it eats, and accumulate the dark energy of the dark world in their own body, the life span is very short, only about a month, as long as the insect body is collected in time, and the training can be carried out, you can get very valuable materials, The insect body of this oily fir can be used to smelt fuel, and the shell itself is also a kind of incense material.

Everyone came to the tree house, it was a simple grass canopy built on the trunk of the giant tree, and the trunks everywhere were helped with straw ropes, Yuexi didn't understand what the purpose was, so she asked the fat man, and the fat man explained, the cochineal needs someone to guard day and night, the environment here is harsh, there are many snakes and insects, especially a big black poisonous snake, strong poison, good concealment, especially at night, people are not careful.

There have been two people who have died of snake venom before and after, and the fat man has no choice but to tie the trunk with a rope soaked in snake repellent to prevent the harm of poisonous snakes, but most of the insect bodies are collected at the alternation of day and night, because of the interference of poisonous snakes, the collection efficiency of insect shells has not been high, and it is impossible to talk about increasing the planting area of forest areas.

Let's not talk about these bad things, a group of people climbed the ladder one by one, and said a few words to a few laborers guarding the tree house, and the fat man asked everyone to sit on the trunk of the tree, and pointed to the front mysteriously: "See, this is a fir forest in front, and now Jin Yaofu has not illuminated it yet, and when it is illuminated for a while, it will be very beautiful, everyone take a closer look." ”

At this time, the sky was almost dark except for a faint light in the Uroboros ring, the fir forest was pitch black, and the cool breeze blew the woods rustling, a little cold, Yuexi pulled the collar and shrunk his neck and waited patiently, after a while, the star track moved, the first light on the horizon illuminated the horizon, the light moved quickly in the direction of Yuexi, the darkness receded, the light regained control of the earth, when the light hit the fir forest, the forest seemed to come alive and glowed with green vitality, Between the leaves of the green cedar trees, dots of red light surround them, countless red dots are as beautiful as gems, and fleeting, as soon as they meet the strong light, they are extinguished like candles, and the red smoke continues to elongate and float into the air until they disappear.

The fat man spoke: "Ah, I've seen the beautiful scenery too, let's ask my brothers to do some work, they are all masters, and the task of eliminating poisonous snakes will be handed over to you in a while." ”

It turned out that I was waiting for a few brothers here, and sure enough, there was no free good thing, but since I was deceived, the brothers said they would do it, and the five capable people opened the way in front with rune weapons, and turned the place where there might be snakes in the forest upside down, and sure enough, there were a lot of them, and Guangyuexi cleaned up four, these black poisonous snakes are not too difficult for the ability, but ordinary laborers can only say two. And listen to the fat man's introduction, at present, this forest can boil out two barrels of fuel oil a month, the output is very limited, if you want to expand the scale, clean up the nearby forest, it is a problem that must be solved, but there is no good way at present, you can only do it yourself, the ability of the camp is too few, and the planting of fir forests has always been the bulk of the enclave's income, and it can only be like this at present.

Red Leaf Town, an inconspicuous small hotel, a strange man in a gray robe pushed the door and walked in, he silently walked to a small door of the hotel, a big man stopped him, he showed a two-headed snake sign, the big man opened a door, signaled him to go down, the stranger followed his instructions and walked in, the door was black and hollow, it was a down staircase, very deep, the stranger held on to the wall and went down a little bit, until the end of the stairs.

The space below was surprisingly large, with scarlet walls, black and white lattice ceilings, a triangular altar was placed in the center, the ground was lit with incense wax, and many people in gray robes lined up in an orderly manner, holding the two-headed serpent sign in one hand and the tribute they had prepared in the other, and respectfully placed the tribute on the altar in turn, all silently reciting in their mouths.

"In the true name of Quetzalcoatl, the Almighty of Chaos, all praise be to Naga Kulkan, Lord of the worlds, where your faithful pray sincerely, and the unbelievers pollute the earth, send down a true plague, cast your enemies into the flames, and lead your followers to the ultimate paradise."

This scripture was recited continuously, probably due to the effect of incense wax, the spirits of the believers became excited, and the sacrificial activities ushered in a climax, on the high platform on the right, several priests with masks stood on both sides of the high platform, the high priest in a scarlet snake robe wore a golden mask symbolizing the snake god, held a green snake staff, and opened his hands to the believers, everyone was prostrate on the ground, a large pool of water rose from under the ground, the lucky believers of Erming stood naked by the pool, the high priest chanted a mantra, and the believers all stood up, The two lucky ones jumped into the red pool frantically, and the believers repeatedly chanted frantically: "Those who have a thin life fall into reincarnation, and those who are chosen will be reborn." ”

It didn't take long for a lucky person to successfully stand up, and the veins writhing like snakes roamed all over his body, which was an extremely remote way of awakening, and the success rate was extremely low, but for Xing Min, a criminal who had no civil rights, becoming an awakened person was the only hope in his hopeless life, and the reason why the Chaos Shinrikyo Cult could develop rapidly in the border area was precisely to take advantage of this. At the end of the ceremony, the believers dispersed, and the servants dragged out another lucky person who was soaked in the pool and couldn't die anymore, Nanhua, who saw this scene, couldn't help frowning, took off his burqa and said: "It's been so many years, why are you still using this extremely unstable awakening potion." ”

Dix sneered and asked rhetorically: "If you want to use the awakening potion, it is best to bring a stabilizer, but the needs of so many believers, where can there be so many resources." Don't be stupid, this is our life, you and I didn't all survive like this? ”

"But." Nanhua wanted to continue arguing, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back. Dix and she were lucky geniuses back then, but the two of them took completely different paths, Nanhua chose to leave and formed a mercenary group, she wanted to at least change the lives of the people around her through her own efforts. And Dix chose a more radical path to restore the glory of the Rousseau Empire, and for this, he even joined the killer group Assamee and became an ace killer.

"Dicks, you're finally back, and you did a good job last time." It was an elegant man in a white robe who spoke.

"Lord Steward, why did you come back in person," Nanhua said excitedly.

The elegant man looked at Nanhua and said with a smile: "It's Nanhua, it's grown so big, and now that our big cause is hopeful, it's great that you can come back to help." ”

The steward is a legend among the criminals, according to legend, it was he who endured great humiliation to protect these remnants of the previous dynasty from slaughter, and the relatively cheap awakening potion was also personally prepared by him for the use of exiles for free, but later the Chaos Shinrito Cult was established, and everything just changed a little.

Nanhua has always regarded the steward as an idol. After chatting with Nanhua for a while, the steward and Dix walked aside and said a little something, Dix nodded, said goodbye to the steward, and pulled Nanhua out.

Looking at the two people who went out, the steward seemed to recall some of the past, and then walked to the passage behind the altar, the passage was dark, and the steward walked for a long time before he came to the end, and when he opened the door, it was a completely different scene, the bright courtyard was illuminated with tourmaline as if it were day, and the courtyard was planted with all kinds of strange flowers and plants. Several maids were busy, and a woman in a light gauze silk robe was lying on a chaise longgue and pretending to sleep.

The steward stepped forward, and all the maids saluted and withdrew, and the steward went to the chaise longue, knelt down on one knee, bowed to the most respectful of all, and said, "My king, Your Royal Highness Maitreya, your most faithful servant has come to meet you." ”

The queen opened her eyes, she was so beautiful, although she was forty-six years old, but the years did not seem to have left any traces on her body at all, she was like the Pablo who would not age, still maintaining the appearance of thirty years ago.

Maitreya stretched her waist, sat up, looked at the steward, and said with a smile: "Trebo, come here, sit, when will the plan you said last time be executed, Lone still has some expectations, this place is too boring, when can I leave, if I continue to wait like this, I will be old, my most loyal Trebo." ”

After saying that, Maitreya stretched out her hand, and the steward raised his hands and gently dragged it, greedily sucking the aroma on his hand, and after a while, he said with satisfaction: "It won't be too long, my king, everything is going well, I promise you, it won't be long before you can restore the past glory of the Luosuo Empire on the building wood of Wangjing." ”

This end of the enclave, Liu Yuexi and a few of them have been made a mess by the black snakes in the woodland these days, there are not enough people, almost all the awakened people have been mobilized to participate in this vigorous snake eradication campaign, the day is okay, at the beginning of the month and the evening they have achieved a lot of results, but in the end, those black snakes have also learned, it is difficult to find their traces during the day, Yuexi and others can only take the risk to hunt and kill the black snake at night, but the effect is really limited, it seems that the expansion of the fir woodland can only be step by step, To achieve too much effect in a short period of time, it is obviously not possible to rely on these current manpower, but Yuexi is anxious, the enchantment tree is maintaining it every day, if the enclave can come up with a money-making project earlier, Yuexi's pressure can be reduced a lot, after all, he is borrowing other people's money to develop the enclave, and the matter of issuing bonds has not yet been settled, and the short-term loans borrowed by these merchants have to be repaid, and he now opens his eyes every day, and a butt of debt can float in his mind, and there is no good way to open source, and it is impossible to throttle, This is sad Liu Yuexi.

On this day, Liu Yuexi fought a snake all night, and just came back and slept for a while, the fat man ran in very inexplicably, holding a strange blue mushroom, desperately shaking Yuexi awake, and said excitedly: "Brother Yue, look, I succeeded." ”

Yuexi was a little depressed by him, and said with a sigh: "What is the success." ”

The fat man put the blue mushroom in front of Yuexi's eyes, this thing looks weird at first glance, and it is unfortunate that it is poisonous, Yuexi subconsciously took a step back, trying to stabilize the dead fat man, "Don't come here, just stand there and say." “

"This blue umbrella mushroom was originally highly poisonous, but after my research, I have successfully removed its toxicity and can be eaten."

"It's a fart."

"Well, it's effective, and it can make people extremely fast in a short period of time." The fat man proudly introduced his recent research results.

"What are the side effects?" Yuexi asked coldly the crux of the question.

When the fat man heard this, he said left and right: "The side effects, after all, are a little bit, but this is not easy to control." ”

Yuexi knows the fat man very well, the fat man said that there are no side effects, that is, there are a little side effects, if the fat man says that there are a little side effects, then it can basically be understood that there are serious consequences.
