Chapter 52: Trouble

Chapter 52 is troublesome

Syllable!

Nolan slammed the door and left in a rage.

"Li, is it really good for you to offend Nolan so much, after all, we will still have activities in Smye City in the future, and the materials of Emerald Ridge still need to be purchased from Smai City, she is the master of Smai City after all!"

Li Zhenshuo understands what Ivy is afraid of, but now the underground high-speed passage is a piece of fat, dozens of pairs of eyes are staring, Nolan has an opening here, and this tunnel will soon be divided up by the big forces.

Mastering such a high-speed passage is equivalent to digging for gold underground, and no one is not blushing.

Lao Li's worries are a little suspicious, Nolan has been away for five or six days, and there is no notice for Emerald Ridge in Smai City, the giant pig purchased by Lao Li and the craftsmen hired have arrived at Emerald Ridge, the giant beast pen is under construction, and the precious raw materials from the beast plateau have also begun to enter Emerald Ridge through the underground tunnel.

The golden hooves poured out like flowing water!

Everything in the Emerald Ridge had to be bought, grain, stones, minerals, even the materials for wear, wood, animal skins, everything that was used.

Thousands of golden hooves may be a lot for one person, but for today's Jade Ridge, it is not easy to support half a year's consumption.

Finally, after half a month, a piece of news spread in Smai City, and it was quickly transmitted to the small canyon mastered by Li Zhenshu.

"Smai City is about to open an underground passage connecting the entire wasteland!"

As soon as the news came out, it boiled in Smai City, as the only trading city open to the outside world of the Beast Clan, Smai City must not be lacking in financial resources, plus the support of the Beast Clan, the slaves will invest a lot of money in the opening of the underground passage, in the eyes of everyone, it will not take half a month, and another passage will be opened.

It's not that Emerald Ridge has only half of it, but it runs through the entire East and West Wasteland.

"Li, you still have the heart to drink tea here, haven't you heard that Smai City is also going to open an underground passage!", Ivy said anxiously, he now knows how profitable the underground passage is, and now he can earn at least three golden hooves for Jade Ridge every day, and it is still growing.

It's not the copper they used to have a headache with, one golden hoof is enough for a tribe to eat for half a year!

Li Zhen smiled and comforted Ai Wei to sit down, "What's the hurry, haven't they started yet?"

"However, I heard that it is already on the agenda of the council. ”

"It's just on the agenda, so it's early!"

Ivy sighed in her heart, how did this boss be, people are going to come to your mouth to grab meat, you are still so leisurely, "Why are you not in a hurry at all, the territory has spread, and now there is no room for food and drink, for fear that this kind of good life will be gone if you are not careful." ”

"Don't worry, didn't they just put it on the agenda, Smye City, I remember correctly, it was a council management system, and the council had to negotiate with the temple further after managing the city, and then it began to recruit workers and invest funds, you calculate, how long it would take. ”

Ivy calculated, "It's estimated that it will take half a month!"

Li Zhen shuddered and smiled, "Then the underground tunnel excavation is not a trick, surveying the terrain, detecting the situation, hiring workers, and reinforcing the tunnel, you can calculate how much time it will take." ”

Ivy couldn't count these things, but he at least knew that within a month, Smye City would not be able to work at all, and in less than half a month, the cold winter would have to seal off the entire wasteland, and the difficulty of working underground would gradually increase.

Ivy let out a long sigh of relief, at least don't bother about it for this time, smiled lightly, and walked out quietly.

But soon, rumors began to spread again, saying that it was rumors, and it was also true, and after some reports from some passing merchants, the eastern part of the wasteland had begun to freeze, and it was expected that in less than five days, the whole wasteland would no longer be impassable.

With only half a passage, it was of little use to these merchants, except for some nobles who wanted to see the snow in the center of the wasteland, and the merchants were definitely not willing to spend half a copper on the tunnel.

From the beginning of winter to the end, almost half a year, it took Lao Li's countless copper efforts to be idle.

All kinds of rumors spread, and on the periphery of the Smail War, the shadow of the thief sentry began to become frequent, and some thieves even began to officially enter the Smai Station in disguise.

"Don't care!", Li Zhenshu directly gave an order, come when it should come, anyway, there is no decent force at hand now, and the other party did not directly rob in the Simai station, what made Lao Li speechless was that the sentries on the Simai city wall had increased a lot, but it was strictly forbidden for anyone to go out of the city.

Winter has blocked the entire wasteland, but the thieves who haunt the wasteland all year round still set up a few tents on the outskirts of Smai City, and the frost-resistant long-haired Wolf and the scrawny hyena orcs will occasionally take a step in the direction of Smai Station.

The gradual increase in robbers made some of the merchants who had left the city jealous, and now they had rid themselves of the most sought-after goods, and even if the underground passage was abandoned, their business would not lose money.

Now I don't want to let the golden hooves in my cloth bag go to waste.

Compared with the beginning of the heat, the pedestrians in the underground high-speed passage began to decline, Li Zhenshu looked at the robber figures who were constantly gathering on the periphery from the high-rise building, and in front of him was a Simai wearing goose down, "Your Excellency Li Zhenshu, Lord Nolan said, as long as you agree to her request, Simai City will guarantee the peace of this canyon!"

Li Zhen sneered, "This was originally the territory of Smythi City, and I spent a hundred golden hooves at the beginning, and the price was clearly marked on it, if necessary, Smai City would ensure the safety of this place!"

"I'm sorry, due to the arrival of winter, it takes a lot of people to prevent the rogues from entering the city, and the terrain here is remote, so I can't pump people out for the time being. ”

Li Zhen waved his hand, "Okay, let's go back and tell Nolan, she doesn't need to worry about it here for the time being!"

"Then Your Excellency will do it for yourself!"

Watching Nolan's envoy leave, Li Zhen sneered, isn't the gathering of bandits outside the result of Smyeong's indulgence, and even a few of them are definitely related to Smyeong.

Lao Li didn't believe that these robbers had such a tacit understanding, risking the danger of being silenced by the cold winter to hit his attention in a small valley.

"Gegmaru, pass the order, Smai Station needs to enter a temporary rest, and it needs to be temporarily closed from dusk to noon the next day!"

Gegmaru has now become one of the three leaders of the Pigs recruited by Lao Li, and his statistics on the witch doctors are very detailed, and all the Pige witch doctors who are stranded here have been sent to the Emerald Ridge, and the Medusa tribe is making a deeper record of the herbs mastered by these witch doctors.

And Germaru is temporarily in charge of the operation of the Smai station, "Also, at dusk, let all personnel evacuate to the building!"

"Yes, boss!", Gergmaru did not question at all, as Pig, although his brain is not good, but at least he knows what he should do.

The announcement that Smye City needed to be maintained was posted at the gate, and after a brief discussion, some people quickly wanted to go underground, while others left in a huff.

As dusk approached, everything began to be quiet in this small canyon that was buzzing with people, except for the burning bonfires and the throbbing of the pops.

No one noticed that a small waiting force was slowly approaching, with pointed ears, bowed backs, long noses, and mustaches, which were none other than Wolfe's appendage, Wolverine.

With the sharpest eyes and the special ability to see through the dark fog, he is the best candidate for scouts.

"Smai Station is completely closed, prohibiting anyone from entering, just like what we detected, there are no guards, safe, and easy to capture!"

The Wolverine Scout Team quickly wandered around the canyon, avoiding the passing Smai Station attendants, and slowly retreated.

The whole sky was getting darker and darker, and I didn't know if it was winter coming, or if it was a sign of a slaughter.

The lights were still burning, and finally the last light was buried by the sky, and the whole wasteland was completely shrouded in darkness.

The mount was covered with a mouth, and Wolf was low, his scimitar smeared with black clay.

"Li Zhenshu's room is on the top floor of the shop!"

"Get inside, fight quickly, and leave no room alive!"

"Remember, the underground tunnel must be destroyed, and according to the plan, evacuate within three hours!"
