Volume 2: The Loose World Chapter 206: (Retest) Handover to the Wind King
The deeper the stone forest, the fewer the stone pillars distributed, the higher the length, the larger the volume, and the real central area, the stone pillars are generally 100 zhang high, 10 zhang wide, tens of thousands.
The big-bellied traveler tree encloses the central stone forest and turns it into a magnificent high wall, with an average height of 300 zhang, which can store tens of thousands of catties of water, which is not only a tribal defense barrier, but also a source of food for the tribesmen.
The dense stone pillars are widely distributed, and at the top of the stone pillars, the feather people dig out a cave and build a stone house in the cave as a place to rest, and the stone pillars are hollow and buried deep underground, so there is no need to worry about collapse.
The stronger the strength of the warrior, the larger the volume of the huge stone, the few stone pillars in the middle are basically five hundred zhang high, the body size is close to one hundred zhang thick, and the "stone mountain" in the center is already thousands of zhang high.
The mountain is more than 200 zhang wide, and the internal space is basically excavated out, leaving only a thick stone wall, in which the interior and scenery are distinct, and even there are layers, luxurious and exquisite, far beyond the ordinary stone pillars.
There, it is the abode of the Wind King of the past generations, which belongs only to the Wind King himself, and no one else can enter it rashly unless they have the permission of the Wind King, including her spouse and descendants.
The Wind King looked like a beautiful woman, but in fact she was more than two hundred years old, and she had a lot of spouses, and when she was young, she had married more than a dozen concubines, all of whom were strong and handsome warriors, including ordinary warriors and extraordinary warriors.
But the reproduction of the feather people is difficult, only three heirs are left, a daughter, two sons, who the father is, it is not known, the feather people are matrilineal clans, attach importance to childbirth, and daughters have the right to inherit.
When receiving the wood fire, the Wind King was not in the palace, but in the core area, in a hollow stone pillar, the stone pillar was connected to the fire veins underground, the earth fire was abundant, the climate was quite hot, and it was the foundry of the king's department.
The foundry is an important area of the royal department, and even ordinary warriors can't get close, let alone an outsider, but Prince Naruto also knows the identity of Muhuo, and his skills are higher, so he is not afraid of his plagiarism skills.
"Long live my king, long live, long live!" Before they met, Mu Huo bowed to the ground and bowed to the King of the Wind.
"I'm not your king, you've worshipped the wrong person. The Wind King sneered and shook his head, the things he threatened at the beginning were still vivid in his mind.
"In the heart of fire, His Majesty the Wind King is the only king. Wood Fire replied earnestly.
"Why are you here?" the Wind King asked bluntly, without answering his words.
"I came to the royal department to send the Holy Mine skills to His Majesty. "Wood Fire Road.
"The casting technique of the Holy Mine?" the Wind King raised his eyebrows, reacted, and squinted his eyes, "You have hidden your own smuggling?"
"What is hidden private, it was originally the skill of my Fengwang Department, and it was plagiarized by the War King Department and the Li King Department, can it be regarded as hiding private?"
"My Wind King's Department?" the Wind King stared at him without speaking, Mu Huo's heart tightened slightly, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he knelt down again: "Mu Huo knocked to see the Wind King, I Mu Hou Department, I ask to be under the command of the Wind King Department!"
"Why?" said the Wind King, nonchalantly.
"The Muhou Department has admired the Fengwang Department for a long time, and has long had the heart of obedience, but the mountains and rivers are long, and they have never been able to meet, and they can't help seeing each other today!" his face was full of solemnity.
"That's not what you said when you threatened me. The Wind King stared at him with a smile.
"Fire damn it. "Wood fire prostrates.
"Then cut yourself!" replied the Wind King.
Mu Huo was stunned, feeling that the script was not quite right, his head turned, and he said with grief on his face: "Fire death is a trivial matter, but seeing that the Wang Department and the two Xiaoxiao are side by side, they can't unify the continent, and they can't be blinded by fire death!"
Hearing this, the Wind King's eyes rolled, and he said lightly: "The War King's Department has beaten you?"
"Uh......" Mu Huo's face stiffened slightly, talking to a smart person, it was trouble, sat up straight, the expression on his face was retracted, and nodded: "That's right." ”
"Why don't you look for the Li Wang Division, he is also a human race, he should be better to speak, why come to me from a foreign race?" asked the Wind King.
In the face of smart people, the emotional card is almost ineffective, and Mu Huo also gave up the method, and said truthfully: "The Li Wang Department is a profiteer, too far away from the jungle, and the far water can't quench the thirst of the near, the Wind King Department is closer, and the Haihou Department is next to it." ”
"It turned out to be a geographical reason. The Wind King was surprised: "I'm sorry, the Wind King can't help." ”
"No, it's not just geography. Mu Huo shook his head and said: "I heard that during the beast tide, the Wind King decisively withdrew his troops and gave up the territory, which greatly reduced the losses of the royal department, which made Mu Huo admire." ”
"Are you mocking me?" the Wind King's face grew cold.
"The Wind King misunderstood, I really admire it. Mu Huo hurriedly explained: "If the territory is lost, it can be snatched back, the house is gone, it can be repaired again, and the people are gone, it will be difficult to make it back, the Wind King is really bold." ”
The Wind King's face softened a lot, but his tone was still indifferent: "It's just that it's difficult for me to reproduce in an alien race, and I don't want to waste it in a useless place." ”
"Your Majesty is humble. Wood Fire flattered.
"Don't bother me, the War King Department wants to destroy the Wood Hou Department, and my Wind King Department can't help, it's too far away to help. The Wind King shook his head calmly.
"You don't need the Wind King's Department to send troops, you just need to take action and drag the War King, and the rest of the army, my Muhou Department can withstand it!" Mu Huo said.
"Can you?" the Wind King couldn't help but wonder.
"We can spend our resources and ask the Ministry of Maritime Affairs to help, as long as you agree. Wood Fire replied.
"What can the Wood Hou Department bring to me if it takes refuge in the Wind King Department?" the Wind King relieved his words and began to negotiate the price.
"Houbu has a better method of refining weapons, and wood fire can be taught to the royal department. "Wood Fire Road.
"Try?" said the Wind King.
"Good. Wood Fire nodded and immediately started.
Ovens and ores are available in the foundry, but the blast furnace is rough, the temperature is not high, and charcoal is used, and a few black stones are taken out from the wood fire and thrown into the furnace, and the flame rises a lot rapidly.
"Is this charcoal?" asked the Wind King.
"This is coal, which burns with a higher heat than charcoal, and is an ore that is dug from the ground. Wood Fire explained, and took out another square leather bag and installed it on the oven.
"What is this?" asked the Wind King again.
"Blowers, they help the fuel burn. Wood Fire explained a few words again.
He had smelted cassiterite and copperstone, and when the Wind King saw him, he took out a few black-gray stones from the package he was carrying, and wondered, "What is this?"
"Lead ore. The wood fire continued to smelt.
"What's the use?" the Wind King asked.
"It can make the bronze more durable, heavier, and melt more thoroughly, so that impurities can be removed. The wooden fire head didn't reply.
The Wind King suddenly realized, no wonder, Wang Bu learned the method of casting, and when he made it himself, the bronze he refined was as sharp and strong as the black stone weapon of the Mu Hou Department, but he always felt that it was wrong.
Only now do I realize that their bronzes are too light and lack weight, and the same volume, the bronze with lead ore is much heavier than the pure copper tin bronze, and the greater the weight of the force, the greater the strength.
With the same weight, the volume of new bronze is also much smaller than that of pure bronze, the smaller it is, the more flexible it is, the more convenient it is to use, the greater the pressure, and the stronger the destructive power it causes, which is indeed a kind of amplification.
"Give. The bronze cast by the wooden torch was handed over to the Wind King to check, and the Wind King cushioned the mat, which was indeed much easier to use, and became more competent: "It's okay, but it's not enough." ”
Not enough, not because the weight is not enough, but the price is not enough, Mu Huo paused, and then replied: "The tribe has bows and arrows. ”
"Bow and arrow?" Hearing this, the Wind King's face suddenly became a little gloomy: "You still dare to lift a bow and crossbow?"
Because the bow and crossbow of the Mu Hou Department and the flying spear army of the Wind King Department have been strongly threatened, and it is always the thing that the Wind King cares about the most, Mu Huo hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong about the Wind King, I am talking about bows and arrows, not bows and crossbows." ”
As he spoke, he took off the iron-tired bow he was carrying, walked out of the foundry, and showed his power with the Wind King, holding the bow and arrows, and the feather arrows shot out quickly, directly sinking into the boulder two hundred zhang away, and the Wind King's eyes suddenly widened.
"The bows and arrows you said are so powerful?" The Wind King's eyes burned, and he took the iron-tired bow and examined it carefully.
Mu Huo shook his head: "The material of the iron tire bow is special, it is difficult to copy, the strong bow of my Mu Hou Department can be within one hundred and fifty zhang, there is no false hair, the power and range are much stronger than the bow and crossbow, and it can seriously injure the ability warriors." ”
"What else?" the Wind King asked, taking the iron-tired bow and not returning it.
"We also have crossbows and rolling stones. Wood Fire gritted his teeth, handed over the hole cards, spread out the package, took out the parts, and began assembling the ballista and catapult.
The Wind King's conditions are limited, and they may not be able to create it, and most of the packages carried by the wood fire are parts, a catapult and a giant ballista, which are gradually spliced together, and the Wind King's eyes gradually become brighter.
"Your Majesty try. "Wood Fire loaded the ballista and loaded it with weapons, and taught the Wind King how to control it.
She pulled the trigger, and the thick bronze spear disappeared in an instant, and the Wind King hurriedly chased after him, and only three miles away did he find the spear inserted into the boulder, and his gaze became extremely enthusiastic and murderous.
Mu Huo's heart was awe-inspiring, and he understood where her killing machine came from, and the giant ballista almost threatened to destroy the Wind King Department, which was more important than getting this thing and destroying it.
But his face remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "The harm of this thing Your Majesty knows that if it is used to defend the tribe, there is almost no means to restrain it, and sometimes, the threat is also effective." ”
The Wind King was silent, but then experimented with the catapult, the catapult was more destructive, but also more cumbersome, the attack and defense were outstanding, but the speed was a little slower, she valued it more, and fell into deep thought.
"The Muhou Department has planting and breeding skills, and the food of the various tribes of the Fengwang tribe is often in shortage, and there are methods of planting and raising, and the food in the future is no longer a problem. "Wood fire seized the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot.
"Planting, is there a place for my royal department to plant?" asked the Wind King in a loud voice.
Mu Huo was stunned for a moment, then reacted, was silent for a long time, and slowly replied: "My Muhou Department has enough fertile soil that can be used for planting, and I can offer a large amount of food every year to teach the Wind King Department." ”
"The royal department doesn't have time, and sends people to the Blood Cliff every year. The Wind King shook his head in refusal.
"Our ministry will build big ships that can transport supplies at sea and will not be destroyed by the rapids. "Wood Fire Road.
"How much food can you offer?" asked the Wind King, slightly surprised.
Mu Huo thought about it for a while and gave a figure that he thought was appropriate: "There can be 20 million catties a year." ”
"We want 40 million catties. "The Wind King directly doubled.
40 million catties, which is the annual ration of 20,000 people, the Fengwang Department is quite dark-hearted, and the Muhou Department wants to provide it, at least two thousand more people must be invested in farming, but Muhuo has no choice, so he can only nod: "Okay." ”
"In addition, a thousand catties of wine, a thousand catties of sugar, a thousand new pottery, and a hundred porcelains every year. The Wind King continued to open his mouth, and Wood Fire still nodded, "Yes." ”
"What do you want?" said the Wind King.
"I hope that my people will not be slaves and will not serve in the military. Mu Huo's face was extremely serious, and he looked into the eyes of the Wind King.
The Wind King also looked at him, her eyes were facing each other, her eyes gradually revealed the ferocity of the beast, Mu Huo took out a stone box, opened it and handed it to the Wind King, inside was a green branch.
"What is this?" the Wind King wondered.
"Evergreen ......" wood fire wants to explain a use.
"The green branches of the evergreen wood!" The Wind King's raised volume startled him, and also made him look relieved, it seemed that he didn't need to bother talking anymore.
