Outside the lava mine in Pubao Mountain, two kobold slaves lead a Gubolai horse to the entrance of the cave, and the lava waterfall at the entrance of the cave spreads waves of heat outward, and these heat waves make people's faces hurt.

Reluctant to get too close, Guboraima shook his head and kept backing away.

The kobold slave was a little unable to hold the horse, and let out a threatening growl.

The two kobold slaves wore leather hoods on their heads, which were topped with a copper wax table and half-cut candles.

On the sulphur mines, only thirty days of continuous hard work will be rewarded with such a unique hat.

But it was precisely such a hat with a half-cut candle that became the pursuit of almost all kobold slaves during this time.

In fact, if you know these kobold slaves, you will know how difficult it is for these kobold slaves to get all the way from Bena City to today, but it is undeniable that life has changed little by little.

When they were in Bena City, the kobold slaves probably had the greatest desire to live, and the slave owner Dasikin almost slaughtered them en masse and buried them under the flower beds of a farm on the outskirts of Bena City to use as fertilizer.

If Surdak hadn't taken them to the Badlands, perhaps their bones would have been covered with the roots of roses.

When they arrived in the Wastelands, the kobold slaves' wishes changed, initially hoping to eat all-you-can-eat multigrain porridge.

However, this wish was fulfilled when the drainage canal was dug.

The kobold slaves who filled their bellies further hoped to be able to move from the shack surrounded by reed mats to the brick houses with some wooden partitions, although it was still a chase shop, but if some adult kobolds needed it, they could at least use a reed mat to divide the chase shop into a single room, although it couldn't be soundproofed, but who cares about that!

However, it was in the sulphur mine camp in Pupu Mountain that the kobold slaves finally realized that life here, although there was no freedom, seemed to be better off than the poor tribe they had before.

The sulfur mines that are collected by the lava river every day are not worried that the Surdak Lord will bury everyone on the farm as flower fertilizer.

In the past two years, the kobold slaves have even given birth to quite a few cubs.

Now their quest is a little more advanced, seeking the recognition of the overseers and the respect of other kobolds, and the epitome of this is the fur hat with a half-cut candle.

This method was conceived by the old village chief, and every month the sulfur mine will select ten outstanding kobold miners, and the ten kobold miners can not only get a higher level of food quota, but also get such a fur hat, they are all excellent models among the miners.

However, these ten outstanding kobold miners are to be re-selected every month.

Sulphur mine production has continued to grow in the last three months......

Aphrodite walked out of the brimstone mine and said to the two kobold slaves, "You two have been here to watch during my absence, eating and sleeping here, and you can't leave for a moment, and no one else is allowed to break in here, you know?" ”

Although the dog-headed slaves did not speak the imperial Chinese very well, they had no problem understanding it.

Turning over and riding the Guborai horse, he followed a sheep's gut path to the temporary warehouse where the sulphur ore was stored at the bottom of the mountain, where Luke was waiting.

When he saw Aphrodite riding down the mountain, he immediately rode up to meet him, and said to Aphrodite: "The airship ticket has been bought, and we must rush to the airport dock of the city of Hylantha by tomorrow night." ”

Aphrodite wore a Mithril mask and said lightly, "We have to rush back to Vol Village first......"

She followed Luke, and the two rode along a concrete road covered in ash toward the village of Wall.

……

The town of Takkale

In the morning, Surdak ran around the outskirts of the manor's settlements, dotted with such estates of about an acre or two, which stretched to the riverside south of town.

There's also a slightly higher mound over there, where the larger manor is clustered......

There was no free market on this side of the settlement, and Surdak ran seven streets to find a market along the street, with bakeries and stalls of vegetables and fish, but it seemed that the most frequent was a grain store, and almost all of the people who bought wheat flour or grains in their pockets complained that the price of food had risen again.

Surdak asked a fish stall owner curiously, "Don't we have a wheat growing area?" How can the price of food still rise? ”

The owner of the fish stall also shook his head worriedly, and said: "I heard that the wheat production in the grain-producing area may be reduced this year, and now that Mukuso has cut off the connection with the outside world, I wonder if the price of this grain will rise." ”

He first bought a few river fish, and then bought fifteen slaughtered fat chickens at the butcher stall.

Surdak didn't carry it himself, he just wrote the address, and there was a special person at the market who was responsible for delivering the food to his door.

Get out of the market.

Surdak intended to cross the street directly from the west and return to the manor in the East End.

The houses here are basically three-story rows of attics built along the street, but they are very old, and some of the poor people gather on the roadside, and when they see some richly decorated carriages stopping on the side of the road, everyone gets up and gathers around them.

The employer in fancy clothes stood at the door of the carriage and shouted loudly, basically shouting: "Eighty a day, eighty copper plates a day, free lunch, carrying bags on the dock, young and strong young men......"

"I ......"

"Look at me, I'm strong enough......"

"Hire me!"

More and more people gathered, Surdak did not expect that this street was actually a labor market, and the whole street was actually crowded with people waiting for work.

"It's just a few of you, come with me!"

The employer very casually selected a few people, asked them to sit on the luggage rack behind the magic caravan, and quickly left in the magic caravan, and the people waiting for work on the street dispersed again.

Surdak crossed the long street and found that there were hundreds of townspeople waiting for odd jobs on the street.

Some of these townspeople who can't find a job sleep by the wall, some get together to chat, and some get together to gamble......

This is the town of Takkale in Surdak's eyes.

Passing through the long street of hired workers, Surdak passed by the town center square again, and saw the bell tower, which was nearly seventy or eighty meters high, and just north of the bell tower was the warrior academy in the town of Takkale, where a group of young students were entering the school one after another in the morning.

The two sheriffs wandered back and forth in the central square, they wore standard leather armor and long swords around their waists, this season happened to be summer, and they wore leather armor that was also very cool. The legs and arms were not covered with leather in some places, and a red tassel was attached to a leather hat on his head.

There is a chance that there are no adventure groups in this town, and probably because there are few resources around, adventure groups generally do not stay in this town.

Surdak happened to see Samira and Thea, standing in front of the fruit stall on the edge of the square, picking cactus fruits, which they had already chosen as he walked over.

Seeing Surdak appear in front of them, the two were not surprised at all, Thea pointed to the tall bell tower to Surdak with an expectant expression, and said to Surdak: "Let's take a look at it, do we want to ...... together"

"Okay, then let's go check it out!"

Surdak said to the two girls.

When I walked to the bottom of the bell tower, I saw two middle-aged men in uniform sitting at the door of the bell tower, and there was a square table in front of them, and a sign was erected next to the square table, which indicated that if you want to climb the bell tower, you need to pay a silver coin to see the viewing fee.

When the middle-aged man saw Surdak coming over with the two girls, he immediately came to his senses and asked Surdak, "Do you want to go up there for a walk?" Climb to the observation deck above and you will have an unobstructed view of the whole town of Takkale......"

Surdak paid three silver coins, and the middle-aged man left to help them open the door under the bell tower, and asked them to climb up the turnaround staircase inside the building, and told them not to get too close to the big bell above, which would be rung every hour on the hour, and that it would hurt their ears if they got too close, and that there was still half an hour before the next hour......

Surdak and his party were the only three of them in the empty bell tower, and as they walked up the spiral staircase, they could clearly hear the grinding sound of the mechanical gears turning inside.

Climb to the top of the building, and sure enough, there is an observation deck on it.

From the observation deck, you can see a panoramic view of the whole town, and almost all of the houses near the square have some flowers and plants on their balconies, and there are many trees planted along the street, making it seem that the whole town is full of life.

Samira held on to the railing with both hands and looked out over the mountains in the distance......

Thea took out the water bladder, poured some water on her face, and looked at the big river in the south of the town, as if she wanted to go to the river.

"So this is a human town, and I'm very different from the underwater city of our Canasea Clan......" Thea said, standing next to the railing.

"Next, we will live in this town for a while, and I'm afraid we won't be able to send you back to the Seventh Sea for the time being!" Surdak said apologetically to Thea.

Thea's face flushed slightly, and she whispered to Surdak: "It's okay to say it, I think it's actually very good to have the opportunity to walk around......"

Samira, on the other side of the fence, twisted her face to the side, the wind on the roof was a little strong, blowing her broken hair, and she wrinkled her delicate nose and did not speak.

"What's going on over there?"

Following Samira's direction, Surdak saw several plumes of smoke rising from the dock by the river, which looked like a fire, and a group of warriors with weapons in their hands jumped down from the tugboat on the dock, and they quickly occupied the dock with black cloaks behind them......
