Chapter 195: Charcoal in the Snow

With a loud thunderous sound, Lu Bin appeared on the lookout of the Iron Forge, and the shock wave caused by it spread outward. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The unusual change immediately attracted the nearby dwarven craftsmen, who immediately put down their work and rushed here with their war hammers, and found that it was Lord Rez, the "Lord of Ironforge Castle", and they were surprised and did not let go of their defense.

When the dwarven elder Hardin Copperbeard heard the news, he saw the rune blacksmith's inheritance token that he had given him personally, and knew that the sudden appearance of Lord Reze was the "Lord of Ironforge Castle" himself.

"Welcome, honorable lord!"

Rez forcibly resisted the soreness and discomfort caused by the unmistakable teleportation technique, stood up with his cane, and just wanted to speak, the smoke and dust kicked up by the air wave choked his mouth and nose, and he coughed a few times.

"Elder, don't be so polite. This is the first time I've used teleportation, and I'm slightly allowed to catch my breath. ”

The surrounding dwarven craftsmen were all people who had a preliminary understanding of Lu Bin's temper, and they were about to return to their respective posts to continue working, but who knew that the "Lord of Iron Forge" opened his mouth to stop everyone.

"As your lord, I also have to take on my responsibilities as much as possible, especially in these difficult years, when you need my help, so I arrived as soon as I could after taking care of the chores at hand, and I arrived as soon as possible with a quantity of necessities. ”

After speaking, Lu Bin opened the passage connecting to the "Elven Waste Capital Elundelle" and dumped all the goods he bought from the Blackwater Town Commercial Bank.

Pressed brown bread in vats, smoothy smoked fish, small barrels of flour and wheat, and even valuable plant seeds, of which rapeseed is only a little more.

The mountain of grain was a powerful relief for the mountain dwarves, who numbered more than five hundred, and the elder Hardin Copperbeard was worried about it, and even prepared to set aside a third of his artisans to become hunters in order to hunt in winter.

"Thank you so much, Your Excellency. No matter what time it is, you are always so reliable. ”

Harding Brass Beard trembled with excitement, his brown-red beard became more fluffy, and his strong hands did not know where to put them, but could only grasp the hand of "Lord Reze" and shake it vigorously.

Lu Bin was a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the dwarven elders, and he quietly withdrew his right hand and looked at the rekindled smelting furnace of the Iron Forge, and the flames that rose to the sky reflected the dwarven city built in the belly of the mountain.

"Winter, high-priced vegetables, geothermal heat, hot springs, ......"

Lu Bin's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, as if he had caught an interesting spark of wisdom when inspiration collided, and he looked sideways at Hardin Copperbeard.

"Elder, I have a win-win plan and would like to hear your opinion. ”

Subsequently, Lu Bin explained the concepts of "greenhouse" and "out-of-season vegetables" that he was very familiar with before the crossing, and explained a little to Hardin Copperbeard.

Familiar with human cuisine and eating habits in Blackwater, the dwarven elders still couldn't get used to the bitter taste of moss, but had to use this method to supplement the body's daily necessary nutrients under the premise that there was no other choice.

"I think it's a good plan, and if you can really grow vegetables from other seasons in the winter, I'm sure it will be good for morale, and maybe sell to friends in the dark regions, and maintain friendship and trade between the two sides. ”

After hearing this, Lu Bin lightly bowed his head, and he was secretly surprised in his heart: "I really didn't expect that Elder Halding's thinking was so advanced, not at all like traditional dwarves, with a head as hard as granite, and it seems that he knows how to be flexible, it seems that I have found the right person." ”

Planting vegetables definitely can't be chosen in the belly of a mountain where there is no light of day, and the dwarf elders who are familiar with the nearby terrain choose a south-facing and sheltered mountain col as a pilot, but Lu Bin has rich experience in his own hands, and he is spreading out a big scene as soon as he comes up.

Lu Bin spent his mana to summon the beast waves of the river valley, washed away all the debris in the col, and after cleaning up the ground, he began to plan the specific layout of the greenhouse.

"Some iron pillars are needed to bear the load, and the curved iron branches act as the dome of the greenhouse, after all, winter has not passed, and the terrain here is not protected from cold wind but frost and snow, and the arc-shaped roof is more suitable for snow removal and resistance to bad weather. ”

The dwarven elders had no problem with the feasibility of this plan, from the initial curiosity to the current enthusiasm and concern, and when they heard the materials needed by "Lord Rez", they immediately ordered the people around them to prepare.

The Iron Fort lacked everything, except that the iron was rich and unimaginable, and with the large amount of living materials transferred by Lu Bin, there was no need to allocate some people to hunt and gather, so more than 500 craftsmen worked together to quickly complete the needs of "Lord Rez".

Lu Bin instructed the dwarves who took the initiative to come over to help, and assigned them different tasks, first digging up the humus soil covered with snow and ice on the sunny slopes, the river sand precipitated at the bottom of the mountain streams, and the sawdust collected by the trees that got in the way, and paving the ridges in the greenhouses, leaving a corridor pattern in the middle.

Iron rods two fingers in diameter are placed on the ground, and then they are firmly held to each other with spokes, like building blocks, to quickly complete a greenhouse canopy.

The success of the experience quickly spread, the mountain dwarves deserve to be the best craftsmen, and the most incredible thing for Lu Bin is that they teach each other new knowledge and skills very quickly, and the skilled skills spread like an infectious disease.

Later, greenhouses covering a vast area continued to rise up in the cols, but they were only frameworks, and there was no daily management such as breeding, transplanting, top dressing, and watering.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Bin once again opened the eyes of the dwarven craftsman, he found a pine forest nearby, selected one of the pine trees, and used the short knife he carried with him to cut a long and short left and right crossed grooves on the tree, and tied a blade of grass under the longer grooves.

The wounded pine tree then wept incessantly, stuck to the blades of grass along the grooves, and accumulated over time, turning into a large lump of translucent, slightly yellowish lumps.

"I can't think of it, I really can't think of it, it's actually very easy to collect pine resin. ”

Seeing this, Hardin Copperbeard muttered to himself what everyone was thinking, although he didn't know what "Lord Rez" wanted to do, but the dwarven elders had been impressed by Lu Bin's very confident and well-organized actions.

Lu Bin wants to establish a greenhouse to produce out-of-season vegetables in the sub-base of Iron Furnace Fort, and it is impossible to come up with plastic film, so he can only find another way, sparse gauze, smeared with a thin layer of pine resin, the two sides complement each other's advantages, and it should not be a problem to temporarily act as a cover for the greenhouse.

The key is that the geographical environment of this col is too good, especially in winter, when the north wind blows fiercely, the "leeward" sunny position can give full play to the unique role of the greenhouse.

"Of course, if there is a breakthrough in alchemy, you can get some kind of new material that is transparent, soft and tough, and you don't have to go through the trouble of applying gauze with pine resin. ”

Lu Bin's guidance hit the nail on the head, and the mountain dwarves, including Hardin Copperbeard, quickly accepted his explanation.

"By the way, I transferred daily necessities this time, including a large number of plant seeds, which contain several seasonal vegetables with good yields, which can be planted in these greenhouses, I think it will not be long before a batch of fresh vegetables can be harvested, and you can also take the opportunity to change the taste. ”

Lu Bin's words were immediately applauded, and many dwarven craftsmen clapped their hands red, without stopping, and the smiles on their faces did not stop, just like today is the festival of the mountain dwarves.

Such a powerful spellcaster can help the revival of the mountain dwarves to the best of his ability, even if he becomes the eternal lord of Ironforge.

The matter of cultivating vegetables in the "greenhouse" of the mountain col was taken over by other dwarven craftsmen, Lu Bin was surrounded by many dwarves and returned to the Iron Furnace Castle, and all the living materials piled up into a hill have not all been moved, and everything that happened here just now made many dwarves feel incredible.

Lu Bin's charcoal in the snow touched everyone, especially the move to expand into new industries, and his prestige among the mountain dwarves was brushed to the level of worship, even the elders such as Hardin Copperbeard were grateful.

The Alpine Dwarves have made Ironforge their roots for revival, and as the "food crisis" is resolved, they are more enthusiastic about their work.

Lu Bin secretly signaled, and the elders such as Hardin Copperbeard withdrew from the idle people and others, and had a secret conversation with the "Lord of Ironforge Castle" in a stone room that had just been restored.

"A lot has happened in the past few days, my friend Oryk Tyrese has given me a pioneer order, and I am preparing to raise funds and all kinds of supplies to lay the foundation of my new territory as soon as possible. ”

"During this time, the blacksmith is a very important and crucial link, and I don't trust the blacksmith in Blackwater, but the dwarven craftsman is not only skilled, but also someone I can trust to keep secrets. ”

"Therefore, with the opportunity to transfer daily necessities, I would like to select a few qualified dwarven blacksmiths to help, and by the way, I can also hone my skills and accumulate relevant experience, what do you think?"

The four dwarven elders present looked at each other, and they all felt that this was the only opportunity to repay "Lord Rez", and Lu Bin didn't want many people, just a few qualified blacksmiths, and it was estimated that the work would not be too much and too heavy.

With the approval of the other elders, Hardin Copperbeard immediately stood up and expressed his willingness to support Lu Bin's new pioneer territory, and said that he could sell a batch of iron ingots at a low price.

"A good start is half the battle!"

After Lu Bin said this, he couldn't help but have a little more expectations for his own territory, and all the dwarven elders present seemed to be moved by this sentence, with an expression of approval on their faces.

After all, the revival plan of the mountain dwarves, they themselves do not have much confidence, everything depends on the support of "Lord Rez", which is almost the spiritual pillar of the mountain dwarves.
