1295. Visitors from the village
The snow poured into the valley with the howling north wind, and the northern summit was already covered with a thick layer of snow.
The heavy snow formed a thick crust of ice on top of the giant mushroom umbrella, and those in the Dark Worm Valley could see the ice and snow above their heads as clear in the sunlight as long as they looked up.
It was probably the ice that blocked the north wind, and although the temperature in the Dark Worm Valley was low, it didn't have the feeling of cutting your face under the extreme cold.
A large amount of sulfur from Vol Village has finally arrived at the camp in the Dark Worm Valley, and the magicians have been busy using the magic sealing array to seal the anthill holes that have been discovered one by one, and according to Surdak's requirements, there will be one or two anthill holes left in each area.
The rest are temporarily sealed with a sealing circle, it is said that this kind of circle can form a layer of space-time gap in subspace, and it is good that the ghost-patterned red ants in the anthill do not come out, if they want to get out of the sealing circle, they will crash headlong into the space-time gap, and their bodies will be shattered by the fragmentation gap in an instant.
The biggest disadvantage of this kind of sealing circle is that once a large number of ghost pattern red ants impact the circle, this magic circle will detonate, and then the seal will be lifted.
When the sealing circle exists, the strong sense of crisis brought about by the unstable space-time rift will be infinitely magnified, which will naturally discourage the ghost-patterned red ants.
The magicians set up the sealing circle and hurried to the next area.
Ten four-wheeled trucks loaded with sulfur powder drove into the barracks of the Dark Worm Valley.
The sulphur was originally intended to make black powder, and the man escorting the four-wheeled wagon was a young Wall villager, Geert, who was sent to the White Forest Plane by the old village chief Bright.
Along the way, I saw a lot of new things that I had never seen before.
For the first time, he even knew that this world could be divided into several lands.
According to Uncle Bright's request, he only needed to send the sulfur powder to the military camp of the lord of Surdak to complete the task, and he entered the military camp with the convoy, only to find that this military camp was at least ten times larger than the village of Wall, and the barracks tents were very neat under the mushroom trees.
Pairs of soldiers marched out of the barracks, stepping through the snow into the forest overgrown with giant mushrooms.
Geert had originally fantasized that he would be able to meet his friends in the village when he went to the barracks, but now his illusions were shattered, and the camp was really too big.
He was a little dizzy to watch the soldiers in and out of the barracks, and he was a little envious of the heavy armor they were wearing, and when the carriage passed by the training ground, he even wanted to jump out of the car to see how sharp the spears on the weapon rack were, and when the carriage passed by a drying ground in the barracks, he saw the bandages and white sheets hanging from the clothesline, Geert swallowed and foamed at the mouth again, and lowered his head......
The convoy stopped at the front, and Geert hurriedly jumped out of the van, walked briskly to the front, and took out the voucher from his bosom.
……
Finally, when the truck carrying the sulfur powder arrived at the barracks, it took Surdak to send the news back to Vol Village through Pubao Mountain, and it took more than a month to send it thousands of miles.
Surdak looked at the young man who jumped out of the van, looking a little familiar, but he couldn't call out his name.
"His name is Gelt." Selena stood beside Surdak and whispered.
Surdak strode up at this time, and when Geert was slightly stunned, he patted him on the shoulder, and said very familiar with him: "Geert, Uncle Bright asked you to escort the car to send these sulfur over, is there anything else you want to bring to me?" ”
Geert replied without even thinking about it: "Uncle Bright said that the production of sulfur mines is constantly decreasing, so you can save a little ...... when you use these sulfur powders."
"Is everything okay in the village?"
Although he knew the current situation in Wall Village, Surdak still had to ask like this.
Geert said to Surdak with a look of adoration: "Half of the villagers in our village have not carried out winter storage this winter, the village market is too lively, you can buy everything, and everyone has a little money in their hands, so life is very nourishing......
Hearing Geert's introduction, Surdak kept nodding his head and seemed to be in a good mood.
However, Surdak didn't stay here for long before he was called away by the two commanders.
Immediately after that, several officers who had come out of the barren land took the initiative to come over and greet Geert one after another.
Usually in the village, although everyone is not so familiar with each other, when they come to the battlefield, as long as they hear about things related to the barren land, they will feel more familiar.
Everyone chatted with Geert for a while, and when they heard that the family was doing well, the group of people was suddenly much happier.
After the sulfur powder was handed over to the barracks storekeeper, everyone hugged Geert out of the storehouse, took him to the camp canteen to eat, and then took him back to the barracks tent, ready to let him rest in the barracks for a night's rest.
Once everything was settled, everyone sat down and chatted.
"Geert, are you going back to Wall Village this time?" An officer in the Badlands asked.
Geert looked around and replied, "Of course, Brother Surdak also asked me to bring a batch of supplies back. ”
The officer on the side immediately stood up and corrected, "Hey, Geert, you have to call him Lord Earl." ”
Looking at the disapproving expressions of the officers around him, Geert quickly nodded and said, "Got it!" ”
Geert smiled again and said to everyone, "By the way, I also saw Selena." ”
The officers simply stood up at the same time, and then corrected with a solemn face: "Geert, you'd better not call her by her name in the future, you can call her Priestess Selena." ”
“???”
Geert looked at the group of fellow villagers with a confused expression, he was a little puzzled, how Selena became a priest......
……
Bags of sulfur mixed with charcoal filled the anthill hole, and finally threw a large number of dead branches into it until the hole was completely filled with dead branches and rotten leaves, and then poured some fire oil on those dead branches, and easily put the torch in his hand into the anthill entrance, and lit the dead branches stained with some fire oil.
Puffs of pungent smoke continued to rise through the cracks in the frozen soil, until the hoplite soldiers buried a small mound at the entrance of the anthill to completely seal the spicy smoke inside.
At first, the anthills filled with sulfur powder did not show any movement.
When the night came, I felt that the entire valley of the Dark Worm Valley was shaking violently......
