Chapter 41 Risks

On her first night at Blackstone Fort, Tiana announced that she had lifted the restrictions on food and alcohol. According to the custom of the northerners, they should have raised a glass to celebrate after the catastrophe, but the reality was that the refugees who had experienced the long journey were exhausted, and most of them set up their tents and fell asleep, and only a few soldiers received a high number of spirits, and gathered in groups to light a sparkling bonfire in the valley.

Tonight was a rare opportunity for the exiles to relax, and although the future was still uncertain, they finally found the peace they had not seen for a long time. Compared with the hardships and obstacles along the way, being able to survive is a kind of happiness in itself, and no one can hope for more.

Late at night, the candles were still lit in Tiana's tent, and the others could sleep peacefully, because they all trusted the great leader who had led them to escape. But the girl herself can't rest, and there is still a lot of work waiting for her to deal with.

Of course, everything on the way to escape is simple, but now that you have decided to settle down here temporarily, you naturally have to consider many livelihood issues. Although it found a safe place to shelter, there was basically nothing left of it except for the half-crippled castle.

The castle needs to be repaired, and possibly even demolished and rebuilt, which will be a long-term project, and even the most optimistic estimates will take at least a full year. Before doing so, the exiles must set up a camp to withstand the cold winter winds that are coming.

A large amount of timber is required to build a camp, and the valley is surrounded by untouched "Black Forest" areas, the word "Black Forest" which means a wild place that humans cannot set foot in. If you want to cut down the forest, you need to use the army to sweep the surrounding area.

The caves in the mountains have been abandoned, but that is for the cost of extraction. Generally speaking, when the ore vein income is mainly calculated according to the ore profit and mining cost, when the ore production is not enough to maintain the cost, it will naturally lose the mining value.

In other words, there may still be some surplus value left in these abandoned mines, which the Thunder Fortress family can't afford to look up to, but for the beggars like the exiles, it may not be impossible to fill their stomachs.

Of course, this is only a preliminary conjecture, and the specific situation can only be determined by selecting some professionals to explore underground. In addition, the underground mausoleum that Hariran mentioned, although it had been cleaned by the mages of the fortress, it was necessary for her to personally confirm whether it was safe or not. After all, in those days in the North, the girl saw many instances of resurgence.

The more critical problem, however, is that the exiles now desperately lack the necessary resources to survive.

Cutting down trees, building camps, digging ores, smelting metals...... All tools are needed, and there is very little inventory of them in the ranks. It's a blessing to be able to run for your life in the first place, but who would have enough to load these inconsequential things into a car except for necessities like food and weapons?

The maiden foresaw this situation when she left Isttalen, and prepared accordingly, even sacking the town of Lille at that time. However, when he crossed the brown hills, he was forced to give up some of his daily necessities, and suffered heavy losses at the Sword Castle, leaving little inventory behind.

Later, although the first route into the south was also collected along the way, the number of refugees collected also increased. The subsistence items that were collected on a temporary basis were distributed to the refugees in the same way.

Tiana could only hope for what Hariland had said, the merchants from the Silver Ingot Castle. Although on the face of it, the exiles' contingent was absolutely destitute, and there was no essential difference between them and beggars begging for food. But in fact, there is still a considerable wealth left in Tiana, that is, the most valuable family in the treasury of Istalen. This was known to only a few people even in the upper echelons of the exiles, and now it seemed that the time had come to use it.

It is said that the merchants of Silver Ingot Fort are deeply involved with the upper echelons of Thunder Fortress, but even Hariran does not know much about the specific situation, and of course it is possible that there are some secrets involved that cannot be spoken. They shouldn't be short of supplies, but Tiana wasn't sure if they would ask for a sky-high price.

It is the nature of businessmen to be insatiable, and how to satisfy their appetite without wasting their capital is also a science, but the girl is now in a thousand hands with a lot of work, and she has no energy or mood to play with those businessmen.

There was a professional by her side who was skilled in this way, but unfortunately the professional was still in a coma and could not give her any constructive advice.

Almost at the same moment, El woke up from his nightmare, an unusual flush on his face, and a muffled grunt, leaving two blood streaks from his nostrils.

He once again dived into Lorana's soul consciousness, but what he saw was still the same hellish scene with a river of magma flowing. The dark jungle of thorns blocked all paths, and it was impossible to find Lolana herself. Her Royal Highness Princess Rose really deserved the name of the Demon God, and just as a seed projected by her power, it was pregnant with such terrifying power, which made El helpless.

Trying to open his eyes, he saw Palanti and Jessica staring at each other with wide eyes, Palanti was expressionless, and Jessica didn't care, neither of them would show weakness.

After Jessica came to El's side, the two seemed to start targeting each other. Originally, the White Lion and Kemal were old enemies who had been grudges for a long time, but now some personal factors have been added, such as the strong contrast between personality and figure, and personal feelings...... In short, the development of the two people is now on the same footing.

"I repeat, you must keep your distance from the General until he wakes up!" Palanti said viciously, glaring at Jessica.

"Children don't care about the things of adults. Out of El's sight, Jessica immediately revealed the true nature of the demon, exuding the demon's stubborn character in words and actions. With a simple gesture of holding her arms with both hands, she squeezed her chest into a more and more choppy motion, dangling it in front of Palanti's eyes, causing the lion cub to rush into rage.

"Mean woman, put away your nasty boobs!" said Palanti, gritting her teeth.

"Poor child, don't be envious and jealous, you are still young now, and there is still hope for the future. Jessica squinted her eyes and chuckled, "Don't you know? You're not blind, don't you see how many men are peeking at our boobs, even the general, your eyes are on my boobs when you talk to me!"

"Shameless! You mean woman, how can you say such brazen words!" When it comes to the topic of breasts, it will always be Palanti's fatal weakness. In the past, when she was in the barracks, she had never considered the issue of puberty for young girls, and even thought that women's breasts would become a burden to the battle, and she once imagined that she would be like the legendary Amazon warriors, who would perform breast mutilation in order to facilitate the battle.

There is no way to go to the dark with this wrong cognition.,Before she completely became a girl, she met the object of her heart.,Awaken her own girlish consciousness.,Begin to pay attention to your figure and dress.。 And Jessica's intervention made Palanti feel a sense of crisis from the bottom of his heart.

Damn boobs!Palanti secretly scolded in her heart, from a woman's point of view, of course she knew that what Jessica said was right, although it was crooked, but it was undeniable that this guy was full of damn femininity from head to toe, and he didn't know how many soldiers he attracted the attention of soldiers along the way.

However, that doesn't mean she can use these two lumps of fat to seduce El!

If it was Tiana and Lolana, the girl had always had a beautiful vision in her heart for the two sisters who could be on their own. If it was for them to have feelings for El, the girl would only pantothenic acid in her heart, and then secretly send her blessings.

But this good-for-nothing big boobs ****, absolutely not!

"Don't act anymore, do you think the general can't see through your clumsy acting skills?" said the fried lion with his teeth bared and growled in a low voice.

"As the saying goes, life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills, everyone lives so hard, who is not acting?" Jessica still had a disapproving attitude towards Palanti's duties, she played with the tips of her fiery red hair, and chuckled: "It's rare to meet a man who looks good, of course we have to hold it firmly, is it possible to leave it to other women to spoil? I just fell in love with this man, the purpose is so simple, do you think he doesn't understand? What does he not understand as a man?" Even the beautiful woman who sent it to the door refused to accept it, either because he had a physical problem, or because he had a psychological ......"

"I don't need you to worry about my physical and mental problems. ”

Seeing that Jessica's words became more and more unpleasant, and Palanti's face was already hot, El couldn't help but cough and speak.

As a result, his words scared Jessica into a shiver and held back the rest of the words.

"Ahaha, when did you wake up, General? I'm just joking with Sister Palanti. Jessica secretly wiped away the cold sweat and explained with a dry smile.

"From the moment you started showing off your boobs...... To be honest, I personally prefer a more subtle girl. ”

El stood up, wiped the nosebleed from his lips without a trace, walked up to the embarrassed girl, and asked in a low voice, "Miss Jessica, what is the situation with the rose seed in Lorana's body, and why is it getting worse now?"

"Your tone seems to be suspicious of what I've done?" Jessica asked with a slight frown, sensing the strangeness in El's eyes.

"I don't know if I should trust you or not, but I don't have a choice right now. El said in a deep voice, "I remember your request, and now I have agreed, as long as you can revive Lorana." ”

"I really envy that Miss Sleeping Beauty. Jessica sighed helplessly, snorted coldly and said, "You didn't accept that condition when I proposed it at the beginning, and now it's so simple to agree, I want to increase it!"
