Chapter 1976: Four-Ring Statue
"Let's build a hut, right here. ”
After the Desert Ship merchant fleet faded away and disappeared into the depths of the oasis, Millie pointed to the dry and hard land not far away.
Green, who was dressed as a native of the sandstorm world, was wrapped in white gauze, only revealing a pair of eyes, and looked at the thorn grass everywhere around him with a backhand knife.
"Here?"
Green asked rhetorically, puzzled: "Why don't you go inside the city wall, the living conditions here are too bad for our current life level." ”
Millie said: "We can build a house here, find water, find food, try everything to survive, use our limited life strength, rely on the most basic knowledge of wizards, start from scratch, learn the survival of lower creatures, and feel the meaning of survival of lower creatures." ”
Green looked at the bushes and thorns around him, with the hardness of these bushes and thorns, if they could be cut one by one, they would be an excellent material for making a log cabin, but the bushes and thorns here were so hard that it was a difficult task.
After thinking about it, Green said: "There is an oasis in front of it, and the surrounding desert is warmer than the desert, so it will form a high-pressure zone in the Isurman region, and the cold wind with moisture will spread around, and the arid high-temperature air flow will supplement this area at high altitude, forming a thermal cycle. With the limited rules that our current power base can leverage......"
Thinking, Green said: "In the early morning when the temperature is the lowest, we can collect enough water by collecting water at a lower temperature in the face of cold and humid air currents. As the world's most influential universal currency, we can use water as a starting point to trade with the city-state humans and complete the survival of this world under the most difficult conditions at the beginning. ”
Without magical power, without far more power than ordinary people, and without the fulcrum of wizards to pry the rules, all Green and Millie can do is make the most of nature.
Millie looked up at the sun in the sky, and then she and Green avoided the gusts of hot wind, and came to the shadow of a needle-thorn bush about three meters long, looked satisfied, pointed to the thorny bush and said: "Just here, maybe it will only take twenty or thirty years, and we will have a continuous group of bushes in front of our door, or even form a village." ”
Millie thought beautifully.
"The Lord of Santa Tata didn't become a village, do you want to be the village chief?"
Green made a joke.
......
Seven days later.
In the sandstorm world, in addition to water resources, water storage containers are also extremely precious resources, although containers can not generate water resources, but can make themselves invincible when drought water resources are the most scarce and precious, the reason why the royal families of various oasis civilizations have become royal families is because they have the largest container, the lake!
Fortunately, in the midst of a drought now, the bag of water that Green and Millie brought with them, though not much, was truly pure, and was of course more precious than the so-called "water" of the poor who quenched their thirst with cactus juice or fern root juice.
In the streets, there are very few people, all listless in the shade, and the giant cactus is the main plant in the city, this plant that contains a lot of water inside, not only has the needles been plucked out, but it is also full of holes, which are caused by the long-term intake of the tube by hungry and thirsty people.
The shopkeeper was a thin and shrewd old man, wearing a gray hat, and after pouring out a few drops of the water in the water bag that Millie had handed over, he tasted it with a cotton swab, and then nodded with a very satisfied expression.
"Distilled purified water, no magazines, yes, what do you want in exchange?"
This bag of pure water is nothing to the wealthy businessman, but to ordinary civilians, it can be regarded as a lot of wealth, as he spoke, the old man took out a list of price codes and a series of various materials.
"Fifty fruits of the sea buckthorn tree, five kilograms of dried mutton, a duckbill hoe, and three water hyacinths. ”
After Green chose the supplies he needed most, the old man frowned and said, "No, your water is not enough, unless you leave this cowhide bag here." ”
The cowhide bag was given to Millie by the drowning tower, and the workmanship was very fine, with double insurance inside and outside, while Green's was much more humble and the old guy didn't like it.
Frowning, Green didn't miss the "dang" of his hand, threw a red stone on the table, and said in a low voice: "Occasionally dug up, although it is only the lowest grade defective product, it should be no problem to make up the difference." ”
Moments later, Green was about to leave with the goods and was about to leave satisfied, but was stopped by Millie.
"It's all in, isn't it a loss not to go around the palace square?"
Each oasis is the lowest depression of the region, so it is possible to store enough water during the short rainy season for evaporation during the dry season, so that the oasis will not be cut off from water and attacked by sandworms.
There is no concept of pollution in the sandstorm world, and most of the desert boat construction workshops and other handicraft workshops are set up in the imperial palace and aristocratic territory, which is convenient to manage and safer, although it is relatively safe within the oasis city-state, it is not absolutely safe, and occasionally there are still some hungry sandworms who strayed in, causing casualties.
The population around Green and Millie gradually became denser, and the buildings changed from earthen structures to masonry structures.
The two of them walked around and took a look, devoting themselves to the vision of the lower life in this world, from the "boom", "boom" buzzing factory, faintly able to watch the shadow of the crowd walking around, very dense, and most of them were children.
"Cheap labor, if the world's natural resources are a little more abundant, or if there is a rule cataclysm, which causes a large-scale extinction of sandworms, and the exchange of information completes the qualitative change of technology, maybe there will be a chance to complete the unification of the world. Now, although the sandworm is the topmost creature in the food chain of this world, it cannot go further due to the intelligence and evolutionary shortcomings of the race. ”
Green was still looking at everything in this world with the eyes of a higher being.
On the other side, Millie, who was walking and watching, suddenly stopped, looked up at a statue, and frowned: "Green, don't you think he looks like someone when you look at this statue?"
"Someone?"
Green glanced at the statue Millie was pointing at a few more times, shook his head, and said, "Like whom?"
"I think he's a bit like a four-ring true spirit wizard, what do you say?"
Millie's words made Green stunned, and after a closer look, he found that the demeanor on the statue was really a little similar!
