Chapter 275: The Path of Purification: Pioneering the Ground
At night, passerby B always likes to look up at the sky for a while, if he is in the underground world, he can probably only see the ceiling and fluorescent moss, but now he lives on the ground, and the endless space and twinkling stars replace the low ceiling, which makes him feel extremely free.
In the previous personnel changes, passerby B was transferred from his original position by the white wolf and became the head of the surface development group, he originally thought that this task would be very hard, and it would not be easy to do, but now, he found that he actually fell in love with this job, compared with the poor underground world, everything on the surface seems beautiful, when passerby B goes back to the underground to report again, he will even be a little uncomfortable, the small space of the underground world will always make him feel depressed, or afraid.
At first, Passerby B lived in a cave as a member of a small tribe, and at that time they had very few opportunities to look up at the sky, but after a few years, they moved to the plains, where they could look up at any time and see the endless sky.
Many members of the pioneer group, like passerby B, gradually developed a certain degree of fear of the underground world, passerby B gritted his teeth and told the white wolf about it, but the white wolf told them that they didn't need to worry, claustrophobia was a very normal reaction, and there was no need to make a fuss.
With the guarantee of the white wolf, these people can finally temporarily put their minds at ease and concentrate on development, in fact, there are already many people who are making a fuss about their fear, thinking that this is a manifestation of forgetting the goblin tradition, but these statements basically have no effect, with the white wolf pressing here, the progress of surface development will only become bigger and bigger, and those who attack see that the slander is not beneficial, and gradually shut up, but this kind of document will always appear on the white wolf's desk every once in a while.
The life of the pioneer group is very hard, they have to collect food, cut down trees, collect stones, and use the collected resources to build shelters, various functional buildings, and roads, and the passage to the underground also needs to be maintained, this road is the lifeline of the pioneer group, without those materials transported from the surface, the pioneer group will never be able to last a day on the surface.
So far, in the uninhabited area of the Far South, this newly formed pioneer group has built dozens of temporary shelters, they do not want to settle here, but use this place as a temporary base, their real goal is to find Hessian City, the original capital of the human Far South, if the production there can be restored to normal, the white wolf no longer needs to worry about food.
Hesse City is the territory of human beings, and it stands to reason that the goblins have no reason to occupy it, but now that the power of human beings has shrunk to the north of the Nanjing River, when will it be better not to occupy the city at this time? Liu Bei also borrowed Jingzhou, and later did not borrow but did not repay, in the face of national interests, these pedantic problems have no reason to become stumbling blocks on the way forward.
Staring at the sky for a while, passerby B felt a wave of tiredness coming, the day's work made him sore, and the sleepiness was infinitely magnified by the fatigue of the body, thinking that he would continue to work tomorrow, he closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
.....
"I would like to take this opportunity to explain something to you. That night, the white wolf and the black wolf also finished their day's work, and the white wolf was about to go out for a walk and relax, but he was unexpectedly pulled by the black wolf, and it seemed that there was some news to tell him.
"What's the matter?
"I mentioned before, didn't a human come from the Gray Mist invaders before? Actually, his identity is also very interesting, this guy is a direct descendant of the Sword Saint who sealed me, he wanted to use his bloodline sense to retrieve the sword of his Sword Saint ancestor, but he didn't expect to find me here. ”
"Sword.... Juggernaut?" The white wolf thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't remember the word at all.
"You forgot? That black, cylindrical, fire-like sword is the sword of the Juggernaut, and the one he used to seal me was the one you unlocked for me. Black Wolf reminded.
"Burning sticks.... Oh.... I remember, you ate it in your stomach. It dawned on the white wolf that he had finally recovered it from the corners of his memory, for so much time had passed that he had almost forgotten about it.
"So what? did you see him? what did he tell you?" asked the white wolf.
"He was seriously injured at the time, he should have been attacked by the gray fog invaders, but he was in good health, we provided him with a clean environment, food and water, and finally used laissez-faire therapy, and after four or five months, he finally recovered from his injuries."
"And then?"
"Later... He was surprised that a group of goblins were around him, but he was grateful that we were treating him. But after meeting me, his attitude changed. ”
"Did he recognize you as a monster sealed by his ancestors?"
"Not really, he just asked me to give him back the burning stick, or the guy would fight me in a duel. ”
"And how did you respond?"
"Of course I duel with him, this kind of thing is my precious trophy, how can I give it to others casually? Especially to a human, and then I fought with him, but I didn't expect this guy to be a weak chicken at all, I didn't even unblock my own strength, so I beat him over. ”
"And then?"
"Later, he was so badly injured by me that he died not long after, but the problem is that before he died, he told me a secret about the use of this burning stick, which is actually a key that can be used to open locks. As he spoke, the black wolf spat out the holy sword that had been in her stomach, picked it up with his paws, and shook off the saliva on it.
"Oh, what lock?"
"A treasure, located in the Heavenly Realm Mountain Range in the north of the Human Empire, according to him, this treasure is near the mountainside of the highest peak of the Heavenly Realm Mountain Range, and there are countless gold and silver treasures in it, enough for ordinary people to enjoy for dozens of lifetimes. The black wolf said.
"The highest peak of the Heavenly Mountains.... I remember, but you killed him, and he didn't get the sword, so why did he tell you the information?
"It's not impossible, after all, humans have always been treacherous and untrustworthy, but according to his own words, he doesn't want this secret to be buried forever with his death, he thinks I'm a wolf who is entitled to the treasure, so he's willing to share this secret with me. ”
"Then we can go to the Heavenly Mountains to have a look, but not now. The white wolf replied, the order he had set in the previous meeting was to deal with the east first, and then solve the threat from the north, if he wanted to go directly to the north, it was too much trouble, he had to pass through a series of countries such as the Elfit Empire, the Church State, and the Northern Kingdoms, in order to open a treasure It was too much to choose such a route, if you could first go east and then north, bypassing these countries in the middle, you could greatly reduce the probability of accidents.
Thinking of saving the world, the white wolf suddenly had a wave of anger in his heart, he worked hard for this world, and even solved a big trouble for them, but the world didn't give him anything in return, then again, the task of saving the world should be handed over to the people of this world, right, let him, an outsider, do what, the gray fog invaders were solved by himself, and he didn't see the Elfit Empire on the surface send troops.
"Since there is no reward, then I will go and claim the payment myself...." The white wolf originally had some psychological burden on the forcible occupation of Hesse City and its surrounding villages, but now after figuring this out, this mood is completely gone, think about what the treatment of those brave men in the adventure story is, they can marry the princess as a wife after defeating the demon king, the white wolf himself has eliminated a demon king, and temporarily stabilized the other, this kind of credit, the white wolf feels that let alone a city, even if it is to give him two countries, it should be.
Not to mention that he will have to face 7 other demon kings next, this journey will always be more dangerous, not easier, and what is even more terrifying is that now the white wolf can't even find a reliable ally, so far, he has not heard of the existence of other organizations with the purpose of eliminating the wolf of the end, so for the time being, he can only rely on himself.
Thinking of this, the pleasant mood brought by not having to think about human thoughts became extremely heavy, and now the white wolf was not in the mood to rest, he was going to find Richard and the others, greet them, and ask them what they knew about the eastern border of the continent by the way.
Richard and the others are not suitable for life underground, so the white wolf arranged their residence in the original snake village, which faces the sea, the vegetation is lush, the scenery is beautiful, there are supplies provided by the emirate, Richard and Dori are not worried about food and clothing, as long as Richard is willing to contribute his experience and intelligence to the emirate, then the white wolf is willing to raise them until they are old.
By the time the white wolf had climbed to the surface, it was already dark, and the outpost was still working, where workers were cutting down trees, and the wood produced here was either burned into charcoal or made into paper for the entire country.
If the emirate is compared to a person, then this is his heart, and without the wood produced here, then whether it is industry or education, as well as all kinds of production activities, even agriculture, will cease to function.
As a result, the loggers here work overtime every day, and there is a rotation system, where the workers work in three shifts, almost sleeplessly, cutting down trees, their sweat soaking the earth, and together with the corpses of the trees, they have become the cornerstone of the emirate's development.
