Chapter 104: The Mist
Emerald Dragon 167 years, sometime, on a certain island.
"Put the goods down! You sluggish things! ”
A huge ship came to rest on the beach, huge ropes holding the ship in place, and emerald dragons carried all sorts of things down from the wide planks that stretched out to the ground.
"We're going to build an observatory here! Hurry up, or the night will come! "An emerald dragon standing beside this group of dragons transporting goods and shouting is a character known as 'Overseer'.
Two emerald dragons whispered, "What is an observatory?" "I don't know."
"Over there!" The overseer immediately shouted at them, "Don't stop and go!" ”
The jade dragons working in the "Ga ......" could not complain and could only continue to work.
The emerald dragons took a large amount of materials off the ship, mostly wood and vines, and began to build them on the ground, building all the materials into simple wooden houses and other improvised buildings.
Almost all the dragons on the ship came down and began to build on the ground, and the whole coast suddenly became lively.
When they were established, a group of emerald dragons removed something special from the ship, which was a stone slab more than two meters high, on which was painted a symbol representing the emerald dragon.
That is, Susumi's face.
The emerald dragon's emblem used to be Susumi's face, but it was gradually simplified into a simple symbol so that each emerald dragon could draw it lightly.
Recently, however, the Emerald Dragon has begun to use the original scheme, Susumi's face, as a symbol. And it takes a delicate and complex painter to be qualified to draw.
This seems to be a celebration of the return of the first king. But in fact, the Emerald Dragon had a different idea.
The group of emerald dragons had stone slabs in the center of the house complex. Seeing this, the Overseer walked down and stood in the center of the group of emerald dragons, posing with them in different poses, and then the Overseer raised his head and shouted to Skyrim, "In the name of the king!" We declare the right to occupy this island! ”
They do this every time they go to an island, and this is how the Emerald Dragons occupy territory, usually by placing stone slabs with markers on them, but in order not to allow the Dragons to do so. They deliberately make the arrangement very complicated, for example, there are strict rules on the size and weight of the slates.
Especially the portrait of Susumi above, there must be no mistake in this, so it is difficult for ordinary dragons to do, and those depictions of high dragons are owned by nobles.
However, the islands they occupy are of little practical significance, as they usually just place some buildings there, stay for a few days and nights and leave, without even a dragon left, but will leave an extra Emerald Dragon's territory on the map.
As a result, the Emerald Dragon's 'land' is now in a stage of expansion.
If you come across some resource-rich islands. For example, in the case of this island, they will take all the resources on the island. He didn't leave until the ship couldn't load.
Then the emerald dragons fixed the slabs and left, and the overseers returned to the ship, watching as the handymen built small houses by the sea, as the color of the sky slowly darkened.
"Well done."
At this moment, an emerald dragon came to the overseer's side, and it said, "So that we can explore tomorrow, but there are still some watchtowers that have not yet been built." ”
"Yes, we'll speed it up," said the overseer, "Explorer." ”
Now, when the jade dragon face is more 'noble', it is common to call each other by its name, and 'Explorer' is the name of this jade dragon in front of the overseer, and its full name is 'Black Pepper. The Explorers', which has many connections with the once legendary warrior Black Pepper.
It is said that the legendary warrior Black Pepper founded a family, and all the dragons under his family had similar names, but to avoid repetition, only the bravest one could be called Black Pepper.
But this notion has been forgotten, and now the 'Black Pepper' is not very fond of fighting, but is keen on exploration, although it is a nobleman, but it does not like to stay in a daze in luxurious buildings, it used to have a great reputation for exploring during the ice period, and now, it has set its sights on the ocean, and has assembled a powerful team.
It had sailed farthest to date, and although it didn't know how far it had got, it was proud that it had seen quite a bit of scenery.
The handymen under the ship had already built their improvised buildings, and when it was finally time to rest, they built campfires there and boiled fish for food.
Because of the fatigue of the long work, they eat like a dwarf, and they pick up the fish before it is cooked, and quickly gnaw at every piece of meat on it, even the sharp bones.
And on the other side, 'black pepper. Explorers' also eat in their own cabins.
It eats the same sea fish as the handyman, but it is sprinkled with seasonings made from a mixture of more than a dozen things, including animals and plants, and most of them are precious items that only nobles can have, because of the mixture of flavors, it is impossible to even eat the taste of fish.
Even so, it also has to place two red and black balls next to the fish, which are called 'condiments', and although the flavor is complex, the black pepper is still eaten with relish.
It takes a small, sharp stone needle and it on the fish, then gently dips some of it on the 'condiment' next to it, and then feeds it in and finally chews it slowly......
This kind of slow motion is unique to the noblemen, and it is called 'upbringing', and the noblemen use this distinction to distinguish themselves from those of their subordinates.
Even if there are no dragons around, and Black Pepper himself is hungry, it still follows its own upbringing, and shows that it is different from the low-ranking people.
After eating, it picked up a piece of jade skin and wiped its mouth, then slowly poked a piece of meat with a stone needle again, glued the condiment, and sent it to its mouth......
'Boom! ’
The sudden loud noise outside made Black Pepper bite off the stone needle in his hand in fright, and accidentally swallowed the bitten part.
"Gah!" Black Pepper suddenly rolled to the ground clutching its neck, it knew how miserable it was for the dragon with its throat stuck to die, and the intense fear made it groan in pain.
Half a minute passed, and Black Pepper suddenly found that his throat was not sore and not stuck.
It froze for a moment, then patted the dust off its body and stood up and walked out of the cabin.
"Overseer, what's going on with that noise?" Black Pepper found the Overseer sitting at the exit of the deck and asked, grabbing it by the shoulder.
There was no response from the overseer.
"Did you hear that?" Black Pepper was a little angry, and it jerked the Overseer's shoulder, and the Overseer's body suddenly fell to the ground weakly......
"Quack!" Black Pepper was startled, only to see that the overseer's eyes were still open, but there was no breath of life.
"Dead?" Black Pepper exclaimed: "Come on!" Something is wrong with the ship! ”
The sound of Black Pepper echoed through the island of night, and the handyman should have stayed in the houses under the ship by now, but there was no sound to answer it.
Black Pepper walked to the edge of the deck to see what was going on below, but all it saw was a hazy fog and a flickering fire.
I don't know when the fog enveloped the ship, covering Black Pepper's field of vision.
"What the hell is going on...... Are they all ......?"
Despite the intense uneasiness, Black Pepper walked down the deck and into the house where the handymen lived.
The black pepper walked slowly, but this time not because it was educated, but because even the light of the torch could not penetrate the mist, and it had to rely on extremely limited visibility to move slowly.
"It's ......" after opening the door of a simple wooden house, it ...... Didn't see anything.
"Where did they go?" Black Pepper looked at several houses in the vicinity, but he couldn't find any of the Emerald Dragons, only the weapons scattered on the ground could tell him...... They may have fought.
Through the dim light of the fire, Black Pepper looked into the jungle in the distance, the trees it had prepared to cut down were now shaking like terrible monsters, as if mocking its misery.
All sorts of thoughts kept popping up, and fear slowly eroded Black Pepper's thoughts, and it involuntarily retreated back into the cabin.
The cabin was also swung into a fog, and the torches hanging inside flickered with a dim light, and Black Pepper couldn't see its surroundings clearly, but it still relied on its memory and felt the walls to walk back......
"Gah!" Suddenly, a sharp pain came to Black Pepper's thoughts, as if he had been slashed in the back, but Black Pepper reacted, and he immediately pulled out the blade from his waist and turned around and stabbed it!
It felt like it was poking into the air, nothing.
Fear creeped in again, and Black Pepper dropped his sword and ran madly towards his room.
"Quack!" As it approached its room, the same pain came again, and the pain caused Black Pepper to fall to the ground......
"Gaga...... No...... It had to ......" It still grabbed the ground with its hands, and crawled back into the room little by little.
Enduring the pain in its back, it crawled under the window with its body propped up, and there were a lot of things piled up here, and it pulled out a skin from the pile, which was the inner skin of Mao Yu, which was quite thin.
It tore off a small piece of skin and scribbled a few words on it with the tip of its claws, then reached for the window and pulled down a wooden cage from it.
There was a tiny creature in the cage, and Black Pepper opened the cage and tied the skin with the writing on its feet.
It then opened the window and let the creature go, and the creature flew out of the window.
"Gaga...... That's it. ”
Watching the figure of the little creature disappear into the mist, the black pepper showed a satisfied feeling, and it also fell to the ground due to excessive blood loss, and its mind fell into an endless darkness...... (To be continued......)
