Fortunately, Duck's eyes were quick, and he raised his hand to grab the man's ankle, otherwise, this guy would definitely get out of the door!

The man was shocked for a moment: "Thank you, thank you!"

"You're welcome. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Just finished running errands, and your feet are weak?"

"Alas, people are not old and greedy. ”

Darker looked at this person carefully, one word: fine!

Thin hands and feet have a big head on his neck, his cheekbones are high, and normal people's cheeks are bulging, but this guy is concave, and he has a pair of big godless eyes. As for the next three roads, Duck glanced at it, so let's ignore it. It's a skeleton pulled out of the dirt.

Looking at his skinny appearance, Duck couldn't help but say, "Old man, take it easy, look at how thin you look." ”

The old man shook his head: "Happiness is the most important thing, isn't it?" said and arched his shoulders: "Do you feel the big breasts that passed just now?"

"Forget it, I still have to walk. ”

"The mouth is not right, the mouth is not right! How can a man have a bad mouth?"

"Okay, when this bite is scored—wait, you're talking about Doland?"

The old fellow laughed and hugged Duck warmly, "Yes, I'm from Dorland, too!" My name is Patrick, what's your name?"

"Dark. ”

"Let's go over there and sit down first, and I'll change my clothes. ”

Duck sat down first, the old man put on a pair of shorts, and sat down next to him shirtless: "I heard that there is a group of warriors from the Dorland tribe, and the Son of Darkness, such a big name, so scared that I quickly found a few girls to put out the fire." I was so sorry I was slacking off just now. ”

Duck laughed, "It's okay, sir, it's amazing that you can go from a Dorand to the second person in the tribe." I'll have to rely on you to take care of it more in the future. ”

"Don't call me old man, call me old brother, wrap it up on me, you don't do it with a lot of landers, what are you doing in this poor country?"

"The Cult of Light is getting more and more ruthless, and we can't go on anymore, brother, let's not stay here for more, stay for four or five days to recuperate and leave." ”

Patrick's face was happy, but immediately turned into concern: "Since you are here, you will stay for two more days, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"I'll tell you the truth, we accidentally offended Atlas when we came. ”

Patrick frowned, "Atlas? However, in the river, they are a bunch of scum! Don't worry, they don't dare to come. ”

"How can you make trouble for my brother, we will stay here for a few days to recuperate and go on the road. ”

"Since my brother insists on leaving, I won't stop you, it just so happens that there have been a lot of things recently, so it's good for you to leave early. ”

"Oh, what's going on?"

"Follow me. ”

Duck followed Patrick through the room, pushing open the back door and exiting.

Outside the door was a high balcony, half-leaning out and hanging in the air. Patrick walked to the balcony and pointed down with one hand on the wooden railing and the other: "Look!"

Below, twenty-four huge water wheels more than two people tall were slowly turning, driving countless wheels to hit the river, each of which slapped snow-white waves and splashed in all directions like broken jade. On the wooden platform between the water wheels, many shirtless craftsmen are busy running around, turning the winch to adjust the direction of the water wheel according to the shouts of the craftsman's head.

Duck exclaimed, "It's amazing!"

"The whole castle is a wooden castle floating on the river, and its power is provided by these big creatures known as the 'oars of the river gods'. Because it is too big, it can't run very fast, so it can only go back and forth in this big river. ”

Duck said, "Is it possible to go into a wider river?"

"It's so brittle, the water around the loop is relatively slow and can handle it, and if you go to the upstream and downstream places where the water is very fast, it will be washed away. Therefore, every time it floated downstream, it had to turn around with the oars of the river god. However, this time...... Look at those blades, what's the problem?"

Duck stared at it carefully for a while, and said, "There are a lot of wheel blades missing, and some of them are cracked. ”

"That's right. The oars of the river god are getting old, and it's time for a new wheel. ”

"I see, such a large wheel blade must be made of wood that is as light and hard as possible, which is what the chief's daughter said is made of iron and wood—"

"Yes, the Tirekri tree, which is strong and lightweight, is a great material. However, it grows in dense forests near rivers. The people of this tribe have a natural fear of land and dare not go ashore. ”

Duck scratched his head: "I don't think it's the key problem to go ashore or not, the key question is, why not use a stronger material to make the wheel blades? Even if you don't, you can strengthen it with alchemy." ”

Patrick laughed: "If you change the sturdy wheel blades for them, then what do you want me to do as a water diviner?"

Duck laughed too, and said secretly, "Old slippery!" He then asked, "Speaking of which, what does this water diviner do?"

"It's basically equivalent to a priest's position, they believe in the river god, and they have to divinate everything, which is what I usually do. ”

"How can they trust you as an outsider for such an important matter?"

"Because I have a special knack for predicting the location of the reef in the river, if it weren't for me, they would have crashed into the reef and shattered their bones. ”

"And how did they live before you?"

"At that time, there were very few reefs, just send a few people to dive down and smash them, but over the years, somehow, the reefs have grown like bamboo shoots. When I was young, I had inspected this area and was familiar with the hydrology of the Hetao, so it was only natural that I became a water divider. ”

"I see. ”

Patrick looked at the rough river and said, "Brother, I have a few words, don't be upset when you hear them." ”

Dark's heart tightened, the old guy wants a showdown!

"Actually, I'm a liar. ”

Duck was shocked, this old guy is accurate enough for his own positioning! Such a self-aware guy is probably not easy to deal with.

Seeing that Duck didn't speak, the old guy smiled, and continued: "I know alchemy, I know a little spell, and I have a special study in this area, so I swaggered and cheated." ”

Darker said: "You are well-prepared and prepared, admire and admire." ”

The old guy heard Darker replace "you" with "you", and the smile on his face was even stronger: "We are all Dorlanders, we should help each other, here, the river god first, the chief second, and my third." I can do many things for you, for example, to make you the messengers of the river gods, or the sacrifices of the river gods. ”

After countless experiences, Duck is no longer the little policeman he was at the beginning, and in the face of such a straightforward threat, he was extremely calm: "I made it clear from the beginning that we have no plans to stay here for a long time. The only requirement is to take a break and find a few more reliable guides. ”

The old fellow raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh, yes, if you don't have a specific plan, I doubt your answer is prevaricating me." ”

"Of course, in fact, everything can be achieved with a big, perfect deception, you can rightfully become the first person of the tribe, and we, as the messenger of the river god, solve all the factors that threaten you, and take what you need, how about it?"

"Young man, your plan has piqued my curiosity, come on, come and convince me!"
