Chapter 46: The Land in the Sun

"Whew, this is Green Horn?"

They are located on a section of the mountain that extends from the snow-capped mountains and is roughly surrounded by rivers in the shape of a "Ω". The upper reaches of the river also originate from the snow-capped mountains, followed by the section of the river that they took on a raft and went down the river for a considerable distance. Because there was a waterfall in front of them, they had to disembark halfway.

Without the waterfall, they could have taken a raft down the river to the lake below, and then turned around to the destination of the trip, an abandoned barracks where the guerrilla regiments had been stationed on their missions.

The entire lake, including the two ridges of the mountains that hold it between it, and the two rivers that flow into and out of the lake, as well as the marshes and vast fields along the lake, are collectively known as the "Green Horn Bay"!

The lake is rich in a variety of aquatic products; The lake and the wilderness are located between the two mountains, and the climate is warm and humid, suitable for farming; The mountains on either side provide plenty of timber and game; The river that flows downstream leads to the blue sea, and in the future, it can establish contact with the southern states and the northern kingdom of Stonehaven through the sea...... It's a natural gem!

It's no wonder that Milton, who was on a mission here, has always been obsessed with this place, this place is really beautiful!

Leaving the group of crying and laughing people a little, Shen Yan found a place of soft grass on the sunny hillside and lay down comfortably, enjoying the beautiful scenery in front of him.

That's fine in another world, the pace is much slower than in modern society, and no one is pushing you forward like a rush. Even if Shen Yan sleeps like this and gets up again, he won't delay anything serious, and if today's things are not done, he will leave them until tomorrow, and there is no need to worry at all.

Besides, the new home was already in sight, and it would take less than half an hour to ride down the horse through a thicket to reach the river below, the somewhat dilapidated looking barracks. In fact, the location of the mountain beam where they are located is already part of their new home. In the future, it will definitely be necessary to set up a guard post at a higher point, which will not only monitor the river on both sides, but also have an unobstructed view of the Green Horn and the valley.

Wait until the fertile fields are dense at the bottom of the mountain, the traffic is strange, the cooking smoke is curling, the pedestrians come and go, the sails on the lake, and the fishing songs are singing at night...... What a magnificent picture it would be!

"Hi~"

"Hey."

The lizard head walked over and squatted beside Shen Yan. "How about I build a house here? Good location, I love the sunshine! He looked around, his eyes filled with unconcealed eagerness and excitement.

Shen Yan smiled, he knew the feeling of anticipation—although he also knew that in the future, men would definitely bathe directly in the lake below the mountain; And the ladies also need to cleanse their bodies, so the waterfall and the small waterhole below should be a good choice, and the location is relatively secluded - then the hillside where they are standing now is the best place to peep into the ladies' bath...... I hope that the lizardhead will not be killed in the future.

"Omar, do you say that the lizardmen are the same as the humans and elves? What is the fruit of the great beauty of mankind in your eyes? Little fresh meat? (Little fresh meat?) He asked suddenly.

"Huh? What the? ”

"It's all right, my mind suddenly wat when I didn't say anything...... You've chosen a good position, and I'm starting to get jealous right now. Shen Yan said seriously.

"Really? …… Shen Yan, if you want to leave one day, I mean if...... Remember to call me. Your ...... Ahem, you're always going to need a helper in the future, aren't you? Maybe I'm tired of the quiet life again and want to go out for a walk. Ozmat said in a voice that only two people could hear.

"Fake, I'm not a prince!" Omar's words made Shen Yan a little moved. “…… By the way, you better not build a house here. ”

"I knew it! I knew it! Ozmat's eyes widened, "Judging by the look on your face just now, I knew there must be a problem building a house here!" ”

"Damn, it's hard to even deceive a lizard head now!" Shen Yan said with annoyance, if you are too familiar, there will really be a problem, give me back the stupid lizard head half a month ago!

"Tell me, what's wrong with building a house here? Say it. Omar asked.

"Yes...... But I definitely don't say it! You will die in the abyss of ignorance! Hahaha~"

"Hey! Damn, what I just said is true! ”

"Me too."

"Which one?"

"'Die in the abyss of ignorance'! Aha! ”

The lizard ranger sighed helplessly, Shen Yan's character of this guy is really bad at times!

*****

59…… No, the convoy is going to go down the mountain after all.

People looked around with great interest, and everything seemed so rich and beautiful!

There are schools of fish in the water that are not afraid of people, which makes people feel at ease when they look at it, and even if they don't have a harvest in the first year, they don't seem to worry about food. The rabbits that popped out of the grass made the children chase after them, and from time to time there were bursts of cheers and the sound of adults shouting not to run far.

Even the abandoned camp, overgrown with weeds and nearly a third of the way down, didn't cause even the slightest frustration in the crowd.

Without Milton's urging, after entering the camp, the people spontaneously dispersed and busy. Some people cut the grass and clean the yard; Some people went to tear down the collapsed houses and piled up materials in the center of the yard, waiting for those who needed them; Others began to repair the outermost fence, and the intact fence always gave the greatest sense of security...... Everyone knows what they have to do, and they can see the work in their eyes.

Except for the superfluous Young Master Shen.

Shen Dashao innocently shook around twice, but the children didn't take him to play, and the adults didn't take him to work...... Miserably!

The main thing is that he can't get into this lively atmosphere. In modern society, everyone has a very clear division between their own work and the work of others, especially in terms of responsibility! Everyone has always been just a colleague relationship, and it is best to pretend not to know each other when you meet after work, otherwise you can want to die for a whole week when you stand on the side of the road and talk awkwardly.

Okay, since you are ruthless, you are indifferent, and you are unreasonable, then don't blame me for being ruthless, indifferent, and unreasonable! Shen Yan was furious, and he rode his horse to the hillside...... Draw a map. "Watch out for the beast!" Someone shouted from behind, Shen Yan waved his hand back casually, and rode away.

The warm wind swept under the ribs, and the gallop on a horse felt like flying.

For the sake of safety, Shen Yan will definitely choose a position close to the camp and can throw the pot at any time - if he really encounters a fierce beast, he will come up and make a "king car casting", and change the tiger to throw it into the beast's mouth...... In fact, if it's a feline, you don't even need to call people. Directly facing the big cat with the "dancing air shield", it is estimated that the big cat can play with the shield floating by his side for an afternoon, and Shen Yan can also suck a meow by the way.

Penny: "What's going on in your head! That's not how magic works. Warlocks are meant to be dignified! You're all the sour smell of magicians, heresy, evil! ”

By the way, speaking of which, in addition to beasts, there are monsters and monsters. According to Penny, in a world full of magic, monsters like goblins and goblins, as well as monsters like drowned ghosts and ghouls, should be everywhere like weeds. However, Shen Yan asked Milton that on the Penlin Peninsula, there were almost no large goblin communities. And thanks to the blessing of the caravans from the south to the north, on both sides of the southbound road, all kinds of monsters have already been cleaned up.

So much so that Shen Yan didn't witness the magical creatures for the first time on the snow line until he was ploughing the snow mountain, the snowman and the snow giant. The monster looked a lot like Milton, and there was no sense of expectation...... Of course, monsters generally don't provoke large groups of people, and they don't take the initiative to attack monsters.

Drowning ghosts are mostly found near water routes, while ghouls congregate around battlefields where there are many dead. Green Horn is inaccessible and the water is so clear that you can see four or five meters down at a glance, so there is nothing to worry about with these two common monsters.

With a little common sense, it's not too difficult to draw a map. Shen Yan first rode around the lake and determined the shape of the lake. Next, you can basically confirm the expansion of the lake as a benchmark to the surroundings, and you can roughly estimate the height difference - anyway, this is not an artillery survey, and there will be no problems with a difference of tens of meters.

By evening, he had mapped the general topography of the surroundings: except for the lake area, the woods along the hillsides at the north and south ends were designated as forest areas; The crescent-shaped fields along the lake's edge and deep into the canyon are good acre areas; The deeper part of the canyon over the acre area is the swampy area, which does not know the edge; There is also the north shore of the lake, where Shen Yan has carved out a large area as the future port area. The ground in this area is hard rock, and the lake looks darker (the water is deeper), making it a good location for the construction of a port.

At the end of the survey, Shen Yan also encountered a ranger led by Omar who was scouting the surrounding environment.

Shen Yan generously shared the map he had just drawn, telling them the areas where they needed to add detailed information. Of course, Omar was pleasantly surprised when he got the new map, not only did he get a new skill, but he also opened the M map by the way. The lizard patted its chest and swore that it would complete the map within a week, and that it would complete the area within 10 kilometers.

"That's your business, my job is done."

In fact, he was tired of drawing maps and didn't want to continue doing it.

"I'll go first!" In the twilight, the flickering bonfire has already risen, and the first banquet in the new home is about to begin.

The aroma of the wind on the surface of the lake had long tickled his heart. Shen Yan waved his hand back casually, and galloped towards the camp under the sunset.
