CHAPTER XXII
After a round of the huge underground and a feast of exotic landscapes, the group walked away contentedly—oh, and one more, asleep on the pile of gold coins, still talking in their dreams. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Sui Xiong leaned over curiously, and heard the dragon language with the echo of the back of his throat, and used his ability to understand the language, only to realize that he was muttering: "Gold coins, gold coins, futons, futons...... Sleep ......"
"This girl is hopeless!" he shook his head, using an enchantment to expand the range of the hail's dragon power, preventing the surrounding monsters from approaching and affecting her sleep. It also allows people who will explore in the future to discover her existence early, so as not to bump into her mouth in a daze.
Although Hail had never eaten people in the past, who could say for sure when she was in a daze, and even if she didn't eat people, what if she was woken up, got out of bed, and spewed out a mouthful of petrified dragon breath?
With Hail's age and strength, the strength of her petrified dragon breath is not high, and basically a qualified adventurer should be able to withstand it. But the people who came to explore this labyrinth were just a group of ordinary people!
After setting up the enchantment, Sui Xiong thought about it, and inserted a sign on the edge of the enchantment, writing the eight big characters "Idlers are not allowed to enter, there are fierce dogs inside", and then he flew away satisfied.
As for the question of whether those explorers could understand simplified Chinese characters, he directly ignored it.
The underground labyrinth is almost complete, and the next step is the passage to the surface, and the construction of the playground above ground.
Rhodes wanted the pioneers to help, but Sui Xiong rejected his suggestion.
"It's funny. He said, "I'll tell you." Construction...... It's really fun!"
Rod really didn't understand what was so fun about being a coolie, but he thought about it. His Majesty the Void Kamen was able to build such a large labyrinth underground with great interest, and maybe his old man liked to play with bricks and mud.
So he understood.
From playgrounds above ground to labyrinths underground. Sui Xiong laid out three passages.
One is the main entrance, which is wide and large, with an extremely high and long staircase connecting the ground and the ground. The stairs spiraled back and forth, stretching for hundreds of meters, with a hall every ten meters, and he planned to arrange some various auxiliary facilities in the future, such as taverns, restaurants, training grounds, lounges, and libraries...... And so on and so forth.
Although there are such facilities on the ground, the above-ground and underground styles are completely different and can be used to create an atmosphere of "exotic culture".
The second passage is a huge deep well. The spiral staircase large enough for three people to walk down the hill and a pillar in the center for a quick glide is intended for those who want to take on the challenge of getting to areas where they may encounter a hail.
The last passage is an extremely long slope that extends far away. It is not usually used, and is only used as a backup at critical moments.
Of course, in addition to these normal passages, there are two teleportation rooms. A large fixed teleportation array can both send the user to and from there to the teleportation point in the rest area of the maze.
Not only that, but when they encounter great danger, the magic that has been placed on them will take effect. Return them to the conveyor room immediately to avoid accidents.
For security, there is a small temple next to the teleportation room. First aid services are available. If one of the unlucky ghosts is unfortunate enough to have a heart attack or cerebral hemorrhage, they die in the labyrinth. The temple was also able to provide him with resurrection services.
...... Of course, this is to collect money.
Arrangement of the three passages and the conveyor room. It took Sui Xiong a lot of time, and it wasn't until midsummer that he had time to start building the playground.
At this time, the believers of the Mask of the Void Church have arrived one after another in the town that is scheduled to be built into a holy place, escorted by Gerald.
Because the negative energy from the ground has been cut off, and the ground has been purified by Sui Xiong's spell, this forest does not have the slightest gloomy feeling at this moment. The dark brown soil was covered with thick weeds, and both tall trees and low weeds revealed the emerald green that should not have been seen in the ash forest. There is also a small clear river running through the forest, and instead of the usual polluted rusty smell, the water has a fragrant scent of grass.
At some point, many birds and beasts also came here. They keenly discovered this pure land, built nests here, and multiplied. Every morning, everyone wakes up to the sound of birds and sleeps with the deer at night.
Even if there was no hunting ban issued by Sui Xiong, the pioneers were not willing to harm these lovely creatures. They affectionately called the birds and beasts "neighbors" and petitioned the Pioneer Chief, Ms. Liv, if they could adjust the layout of the city to leave enough space for the birds and beasts to live.
Arriving in the Forest of Ashes from Garth City with a teleportation array, Liv happily granted the request from patrol leader to pioneer master.
She thought she would be in a poor place, surrounded by rude adventurers and filthy laborers, and busy fighting all kinds of dangerous monsters all day long. But I didn't expect it to be a forest with beautiful mountains and rivers.
Oh, "Shui Xiu" is right, "Shan Qing" seems wrong, the nearest mountain is also hundreds of miles away, where the sky is gray, the ground is black, and even the leaves of the trees have a layer of black gas.
The notoriety of the Ash Forest had long been heard of even by her on the other side of the continent. It's just that she can't figure out what means His Majesty Void Mask used to open up such a pure land on earth in this terrifying Black Forest?
However, she didn't go to the playground construction site to ask Sui Xiong, who was busy playing the live-action version of "Minecraft" in the other world all day, but hid this question in her heart and concentrated on her work.
His Majesty the Void Kamen sent messengers to lend a helping hand in their most difficult time. And her teacher is also a disciple of His Majesty - it is said that he is still the high priest, which is strange, why is it not the head of the knights but the high priest? The teacher does not look like a priest at all......
Taken together, she felt that the deity could be trusted, and that she deserved to do the job he had given him.
This is not only a reward for His Majesty the Void Mask, but also a reward for the teacher, and it is also a great opportunity to realize the value of his life and live up to his father's lifelong learning!
She remembers that her father would occasionally sigh melancholy in private, lamenting that he had learned a lot of skills in governing the country and managing the people, but he had not had the opportunity to practice them. Whenever he taught his daughter alone, he would sigh from time to time.
Now, it's time to put into practice what my father taught, to see if they're right, and to prove whether my father is capable of being a good lord.
Of course, she absolutely believes in her father!
The knowledge that the knight of Parn had taught his daughter proved to be very useful. Even though the number of people she had to manage this time was much more than the previous Gars Patrol, and the quality was uneven, she quickly got into the groove and maintained order throughout the territory well.
Every morning, she would patrol the territory with a few soldiers, listen to the opinions of the pioneers, and gather the problems she found. After lunch, she will work to solve the problems one by one, and in the evening, she will go to Frost, who is responsible for managing the logistics, to check the supplies and ensure a stable supply for the entire territory.
Let Frost come to see the warehouse, it was her suggestion. At that time, Frost seemed very dissatisfied, and even once showed the true form of a dragon to threaten her. But Liv burst out with amazing courage and did not back down in the face of the dragon's sharp teeth, and in the end, Frost did not dare to bite her to death, so she reluctantly became the treasurer.
But this position is indeed very suitable for him, this stinky young man has a "you owe me money, pay me back quickly" expression to anyone, coupled with the faint dragon power exuded by him, so that the pioneers did not dare to play any tricks with him, even the most treacherous and cunning old fritters, did not dare to try to take advantage of the dragon.
They don't have the nerve of Lady Liv, and if they dare to stare at an angry dragon, it's better not to die!
Madame Teague is in charge of agriculture, and together with a druid "Nan", who has long been known to be a part-time worker, she helps farmers clear the land and sow crops with elven spells and natural magic.
Because the soil has been well purified, they grow not the slow-growing, bad-tasting "golden vines", but some tubers and grains, as well as vegetables.
The soil of the ash forest is fertile, and these crops grow well. At this moment, it is the height of summer, even if the town is located in the north, the temperature is still warm, the seeds are sown in the soil, with the effect of the spell, it will take root and sprout in a day or two, and only half a month later, it will be a thriving.
"But the winters here are going to be cold. Nan, said the strangely named druid, "I'm worried that these plants won't survive the cold winter." ”
"Rest assured, the gods who rule here are free to manipulate the cold. When the time comes, He will absorb the cold air around him and keep the area warm enough. Mrs. Teague, who had already communicated with Gerald and had learned of the information, said, "If you are interested, you can stay a little longer and see for yourself." ”
Nan shook his head: "Although it is for good purposes, this kind of behavior against nature is still contrary to the beliefs of our druids after all, so it is better for me not to stay." ”
He was a very stubborn man and did what he said. In the autumn of that year, after the harvest had been harvested, he helped the farmers complete the harvest, insisted that "the contract is over" and left.
Autumn in the Northland passes quickly, and it feels like it's just a blink of an eye, and the first snow is already falling.
Winter in the ash forest has come early, as always...... (To be continued.) )
