What is the concept of thousands of gold coins, none of them can imagine, in their usual understanding, the entire tribe can be tired and tired for a year, and the surplus of a dozen gold coins is already considered very good, this kind of thing that can earn thousands of gold coins in a month They would never dream of it before.

It was also when the Blackstone Tribe began to gradually become rich that they also had some vague worries in their hearts, and this worry was even more prominent after the Red Fox Tribe attacked, that is, they were afraid that they would not have enough strength to protect what they had now.
However, most of this worry was dispelled after they had seen the hardness of the concrete walls, and they usually only filled the kiln with some mud and stones as instructed, and they did not expect that this kind of burnt gray powder would be so strong after living with water and sand. They also heard that the cement was used to build the fence and their houses, and they were thrilled to hear the news, which is the main reason why the people working in the brick kiln area are so enthusiastic about their work.
And today they can finally live in the new home that they have been looking forward to, although they contribute to the construction of the new site every day, but most of them have never been here, so along the way they are also guessing with each other what the new home looks like, everyone just talked and laughed and quickly followed the leader Lu Ya forward, until it was almost noon, someone in the team suddenly shouted loudly, "Look! What is that?"
The others looked in the direction of the man's finger, and saw a tall tower towering over the top of a hill not far away, which looked like a watchtower.
"It's a beacon, made by the patriarch, and it's used to inform us in advance if there is an enemy attack," someone in the team quickly explained to the others.
After seeing the beacon tower, it proved that it was not far from the destination, and the team marched forward for dozens of minutes, and the high cement wall of the new tribe finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Oh my God, it's so high, it's so long" Many people looked at the concrete city wall hundreds of meters long and more than ten meters high in front of them in amazement.
"This is a wall, this is obviously a city wall, and it is a city wall made of cement," someone sighed excitedly.
"This wall is so long, is this our new home?"
"Black Rock, Our Home"
Lu Ya looked at the towering city wall in front of him with a sense of accomplishment, yes, this can definitely be regarded as a city wall, compared to the wooden fence four or five meters high of ordinary tribes, this cement city wall of more than ten meters high is beyond its reach in terms of height and defense, and the current height of the city wall is also taken into account the construction period and other reasons, only built to this height, and when necessary, this height can continue to be added upward, but even this height is the work of thousands of strong orcs and men who work hard day and night to complete the work。
"Someone came out"
"Are they all here to greet us?"
"Let's go"
The huge gate of the city, which was nearly ten meters high in front of the new tribe, was completely open, and hundreds of people inside poured out to stand on both sides of the road to greet Ruya and them.
"Hahaha, you're finally here"
"Well, this is our new home, beautiful."
"Everyone has worked hard, hurry up and go home, lunch has been prepared for you, come in"
When the two groups met, they greeted each other warmly, and they hugged each other and walked towards the tribe. Before entering the gate, everyone would look up at the two big words 'black stone' engraved on the part of the city wall above the gate, and then walk in with a happy face.
After passing through the doorway several meters wide, the first thing that catches your eye is a straight north-south cement road, and you can see that at the end of this road is the most central part of the city, where a circular square has been built according to the design.
This wide concrete road draws a circle when it reaches the position of the square, and then continues to run through the tribe directly opposite, while the other two equally wide cement roads are connected by the circle outside the square, and the square and the two main roads are like a cross with a circle in the middle, which is simple and harmonious.
After the division of these two main roads, the whole building pattern is divided into four large areas, each of which is separated by two narrow roads, so that it becomes 16 small areas, plus the central square, a total of 17 areas, which are numbered from east to west and from north to south.
In fact, according to Lu Ya's design, the entire Black Rock City was a nine-square grid, but later after Xiao Qi took over, he found Lu Ya and put forward his own opinions, according to Xiao Qi, Lu Ya's design is not suitable for this kind of small city with a length and width of only a few hundred meters, it is better to build it directly according to the design of the original tribe, which is simple and beautiful.
Lu Adam, who had no talent for architectural design, immediately agreed, and handed over the matter to Xiao Qi, but fortunately, he was still building sewers at that time, and the overall design of Black Rock City was changed to the current pattern without too much trouble.
Twelve of the 17 areas, except for the square, were designed as residential areas, and because of the plasticity of cement and bricks, all the houses they lived in were two-story buildings, and the tribesmen were arranged into these small buildings, and they looked east and west, full of curiosity about everything in the rooms of such small buildings, and from time to time they smashed the walls made of cement bricks, and the dull and solid sound made them all smile with satisfaction on their faces.
As soon as they tidied up their new home, they went to the neighbor's house to help, and everyone talked and laughed, full of hope for their future life. Everyone was busy until it was getting dark, and then they gradually stopped.
At this time, bonfires began to be lit on the central square, different from the previous small platform of the Blackstone tribe, this square was built with the needs of the tribesmen in mind, this square the size of nearly two football fields is definitely more than enough to accommodate thousands of clansmen, even if at this moment the thousands of laborers summoned by the Black Wood, Qingmang, Black Bird, Wild Bull and Grass Wolf tribes and other scattered tribes also joined in, it still did not show a trace of crowding.
As night fell, the cold moonlight cast by two bright moons was driven away by the heat of the campfire, and Ruya stood in the open space in the middle of the square with a wine glass, and he looked around at the crowd that had gradually quieted down and looked at him, and spoke loudly.
"Today is the day we move into our new home, Black Rock City, is our new home, here I think we should all raise a glass together to thank the friends who have worked hard to help us build our home, without their efforts, we would not have moved into the new home so quickly, come, toast our friends" Lu Ya said and raised his head and drained the wine in the glass.
Seeing this, the tribesmen of the Blackstone tribe also raised their wine glasses one after another, and gave a heartfelt toast to the laborers of the other tribes around them.
"To a Friend"
"To you"
"Thank you"
After being toasted by the Blackstone tribe led by Luya, the laborers of the other tribes were very excited, they were all ordinary orcs at the bottom, they were almost starved to death in winter, because Rua could let them eat a full meal, which was already a gift to them.
In addition, the people around them have never regarded them as inferior people, and they have not looked down on or treated them differently, which makes them very grateful to the Blackstone tribe in their hearts.
They also admired the strong strength of the Blackstone tribe very much, the entire Blackstone City was built by them, they had long seen the magic of cement and bricks, and the Blackstone tribe easily annihilated the Red Fox tribe that came to attack, such a medium-sized tribe, and finally even hit the other party's house and directly copied the other party's lair, and there were many people from the Red Fox tribe who chose to join the Blackstone tribe willingly.
So far, they haven't had time to thank Lu Ya for his charcoal in the snow, but they have been toasted by Lu Ya and the people of the Black Stone Tribe, how can this not make them feel excited and worthwhile.
With a "bang", the middle-aged strong man who had led the laborers of the Manniu tribe suddenly knelt on the ground, and his actions attracted everyone at once, and he said in a choked tone when he saw his eyes red.
"Dear Patriarch Blackstone, thank you for not disliking us people, for being able to pull us when we are about to lose our support, give us good food and drink, and never discriminate against us... We··· I..."
This stout orc man just knelt on the ground, choked up and couldn't speak.
Ruya took two quick steps to his side and reached out to pull him up, but to no avail.
"Patriarch, I want to beg you to let us join the Blackstone tribe, just ordinary clansmen, we promise not to cheat and cheat, all the dirty work can be handed over to us, just ask you to accept us, please"
"Knock..."
"Knock..."
As his words fell, the sound of kneeling on the ground came to mind all around, they were all those laborers, and they all wanted the same demand, they all wanted to ask Ruya to allow them to join the Blackstone tribe.
"Patriarch, please"
"Please, Patriarch, please accept us"
"Patriarch, it's hard for us to survive the next winter, please take us"
"Patriarch ·····"
