Chapter 154: Three years
After returning to the tunnel through the Dauphin Bug train, he sends a message to En's Hawk to report his safety.
For the rest of the day, he put aside digging tunnels for a while, and instead used his brain to think about how to trade with the dwarves.
Wine, he has brewed, is an alternative beer brewed from wheat.
When she first started brewing, she held it for Andrea to drink, and she often talked about drinking.
However, beer is not a good thing, and after brewing, Xiang En didn't give it to Andrea, who was still pregnant, to drink, let alone now.
There is now a lot of wine in the cellar, which can be sold to the dwarves, who are then used to help him build tunnels.
In the boring days that followed, there were many big changes with the opening of the underground tavern.
Although the dwarves speak vulgarly, as long as they give money and drink, they really dare to do something.
Xiang En was also liberated from the original toil, and handed over the task of digging tunnels to more professional dwarves.
After reporting to the upper floors, the dwarven general Nora's treasure mount, the Dauphins Worm, was hired to use its mouthparts to dig an underground tunnel to the royal capital of the Austin Empire.
The Dauphinus digging speed is very fast, and its intestines secrete a corrosive mucus that quickly dissolves the stones that enter the cavity when swallowed by the sharp mouthparts of the rubble.
Body fluids deposited in the cavities will overflow from the epidermis, making the rough stone walls relatively smooth and stabilizing.
The Dauphin Worm is a combination of a shield machine and a subway, and its main diet is also stone and metal, occasionally supplemented with some meat, and it will only lay three eggs in thirty years.
If it weren't for the dwarves' really tight protection, Xiang Endu would have wanted to make a Dauphin worm.
More than half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and there is only one year left before Sharon and the others return to the royal capital.
In addition to the days of running an underground tavern underground, digging tunnels, and expanding underground shelters, Xiang Eun also keeps an eye on the surface of the earth.
Hela is one year old this year, past the age of Ma Ma Lailai's unsightly, her face is white and soft, her eyes are clear and bright, and she can already call her parents every day.
Xiang En was very pleased, and temporarily handed her over to Sharon's care, while he and Andrea asked for more free time, otherwise there would be no chance in the future!
For more than half a year, the tunnel has been dug near the royal capital.
The tunnel is not straight, but rather winding around, and anyone who falls into it will go crazy in fear in the infinite darkness if they don't know in advance where it leads.
When digging tunnels, the Dauphins will go around various terrains such as underground rivers and large underground caverns, and the final passage is so complex that it is difficult to understand.
The total length of the tunnel is more than 3,000 kilometers, and after the completion of the passage, Xiang Enrang York and Mira built a platform on the side of the tunnel, a platform that can carry rails.
The Dauphins are an important means of transportation for the dwarves, and the most that Xiang En can do is rent a tunnel to dig out, and it is impractical to have the Dauphins serve them all the time.
After squeezing the dwarves' wallets using entertainment such as poker and cards, Xiang En obtained a large number of dwarven craftsmen's labor, and the rails and platforms were laid almost simultaneously.
A rest station was set up every 500 kilometers to lay the rails, and this paving took more than half a year.
It wasn't until near the time when Sharon returned to the royal capital that the vast underground works were finally completed.
On the day of completion, Xiang En did not hesitate to eat meat, repeatedly tortured and slaughtered five yaks, and personally cooked several carts of meat to share with the dwarven craftsmen who were tired of dead dogs.
As soon as the wine was drunk and the beef was in the stomach, the dwarves called Xiang En from "vampire" to a good boss.
There's nothing that can't be solved with one meal, and if there is, add the wages.
……
That night, Xiang En returned to the underground shelter below the manor, and walked through the bright and large space.
The rest station of the tunnel is always taken care of by trolls, and he has been at the tunnel construction site for a long time for efficiency, and the first time he returns home is of course to spend more time with his wife and children.
The underground hall, taunted by trolls and gold, has become a huge underground crop breeding center, providing food and drink to the dwarven patrons of the underground tavern.
The dwarven taverns will never know that the hamburger meat they eat is actually a rat......
"Huh... Eh! ”
When Xiang En stepped into the underground square, he immediately talked about the daily interaction between Andrea's mother and daughter.
Andrea bent over with an encouraging smile on her face, stretched her legs and slowly stepped back, guiding Hela who was begging for a hug to walk tremblingly.
Children in this world develop relatively quickly, and a little child who is close to two years old can almost walk, and looks like three or four years old in the normal world.
Hela inherited her mother's red hair, but at the age of two, she didn't have silky long hair, and now she only has some hair on her head, which looks like a tomboy.
Babbling and throwing herself into Andrea's arms, Hela finally saw Xiang En on the side and stretched out her little arm to ask for a hug.
Xiang En was not stingy with his physical strength, and he approached the past and rubbed it affectionately for a while, and his sense of happiness rose slowly.
The family returned to the surface, and it happened to be dusk.
Xiang En went to the kitchen for a long time and made a sumptuous dinner, which was attended by not only his employees, but also the troll high-level who lived next door, and a group of dwarven generals led by the dwarf Nora.
To celebrate the opening of the tunnel and to commemorate this historic time.
It has been five years since the end came.
From fleeing for his life at the beginning, to having a fixed place of residence, and then hoeing and farming.
Now that they are self-sufficient, they still have surplus food to sell to the dwarves, and with the high-quality underground crops they get from the dwarves, it is no longer difficult to survive.
A group of people gathered around the campfire, eating all kinds of fried food, singing, dancing, laughing, giving people a dreamlike illusion.
Xiang En hugged Hela, fed her some corn paste, and turned to look at Andrea, who was biting her ear with Sharon, thinking about how long this life would last.
The palm of his left hand spreads out, and a small white bird condenses in front of little Hela's eyes.
The little bird that appeared in the migratory bird skill imprinted Hela's interest, and she babbled, stretched out two chubby hands to grab it, but the bird formed by the magic power flew directly into the sky.
"Wow, wow, wow!"
When Hela saw the bird flying away from her hand, she looked up, and the more she looked, the more anxious she became, and then she just burst into tears......
Xiang En did not comfort his daughter for the time being, but connected his vision to the migratory birds, looking down on the current earth from high in the sky.
The field of vision gradually increased, and the fear of the heavy duty on the fire was like a small dot, and then I saw the bonfire rising from the troll camp across the wall.
The view is out of the manor, and the trees that originally grew around have all withered under the long-term untended, and then looking out, the originally endless grassland is completely occupied by the desert.
The sticky slime molds are irregularly distributed on the land, so desolate that there is no trace of life in sight, and there is not even a single dead thing on the land.
