"Like a dog." Belinda said.

"How can a dog walk on two feet, I look like a dwarf." Coral is not convinced.

"I've seen dwarves, not like this."

"A new breed of dwarf, perhaps?"

"You'd better not say that in front of the dwarves, they don't have a good temper."

"Can this thing talk?" Coral boldly walked up.

She was about to touch it with her feet, but the strange creature immediately bared its teeth at her, causing the little girl to retreat in fright.

"Hey!"

Belinda hurriedly vented her anger for her friend and kicked her up.

The creature hostile to the coral was unexpectedly obedient to Belinda, and immediately lay motionless on the ground after being kicked.

"It looks like it's scared of you." Coral wondered.

"Druids can communicate with animals, but I can't, or I'll have to ask what it is." Belinda said with a bit of pity.

"Why don't you get it back?" Coral curiosity arises.

"Are you going to eat it?" Belinda wondered.

"Huh......" Coral quickly shook his head: "It doesn't look delicious." But you can ask someone what it is, I remember that the lord was very knowledgeable. ”

"But how do you get it back and carry it away?" Belinda clearly felt too much trouble.

"It seems to be very obedient, why don't you try to let it follow you?" Coral Road.

Belinda walked a few steps away, then shouted at the monster, "Hey, come here." ”

Surprisingly, this guy didn't know if he understood, but he actually got up, staggered over, walked to Belinda's side, and then fell down again.

"Obedient like my leopard, it's just too small and too ugly." Belinda laughed.

The two of them made their way out of the jungle, and the monster could walk on the rugged mountain roads with ease, more skilled than coral.

It wasn't until the gate of the fortress that he was stopped by the guards passing by.

Of course, the guards knew Coral, and they knew that the elves were the guests of the fortress.

Seeing two little girls followed by an extremely ugly monster, they rushed up without saying a word......

……

……

It's been a long time since Colin has been to the Alchemy Workshop, and this time he was invited by Wald to see the latest technology in the Magic Lab.

"According to the previous practice of the kingdom, it was made of clay, stone powder, black sand and blueshirt sap mixed to make a binder between bricks and stones, but because Shaya is located at the junction of two continents, the soil stone is very different from the middle of the kingdom, so it cannot be ...... in that way."

Colin nodded after listening, of course he knew that this kind of cement-like thing had been used in Tulum for many years, but the effect was far from the cement on the earth.

The local clay and sand of Xiaya are even more unsuitable for this.

Wald's work was to develop a suitable building material using the unique soil and stone of the region.

After reading it, Colin found that the effect was indeed good, although it was not as good as real cement, but it was unexpectedly superior to the corresponding materials used in Tulum now.

This kind of highly targeted research requires not only the knowledge of materials science in magical engineering, but also a great test of patience.

This kind of thing, even if Colin does it himself, can't get good results in a short period of time. To be able to do this and improve the efficiency of the construction in the future is already quite good, you must know that Wald's main focus is still on the magic energy project.

"Very good."

Colin expressed his appreciation, and then added: "Maybe we could consider mixing this adhesive with gravel and sand as a direct building material." ”

Wald was silent for a moment, then nodded, "It's a viable idea, but ...... My lord, if you do what you say, you must organize a special team of miners, otherwise there will be no supply of materials at all. ”

"Miners......" Colin was also in a dilemma.

At the end of the day, there is still a shortage of people.

The terrain of Xia Ya is mainly mountains and hills, although there are not many metal ores, but clay and ordinary stones and sand are inexhaustible, the problem is that there is no manpower to do this.

"Let's wait." He thought for a moment and said, "In a few days, after the success of Roderick's operation, we should add a lot of labor." ”

Wald didn't ask in detail, but he knew something about it.

Baron Willy's side had already sent someone to take the ransom money and wanted to ransom the two knights.

But it is clear that the lord's side has no intention of doing things according to the usual practice of the average nobleman.

Before Colin could say anything, a fortress guard came to report.

"My lord, there are monsters attacking the fortress, but we have captured it."

It was the first time that Colin Vane, who had been lord for almost two years, had heard of such a strange thing, and hurriedly followed the guards to the square outside the castle.

Coral and Belinda are hiding on the side.

Colin stepped closer, and after carefully examining the monster, he couldn't help but laugh: "Where did you find it?" ”

The monster besieged by the humans had already been frightened, and kept approaching Belinda's direction, as if trying to seek refuge.

Seeing that Colin was not angry, Coral immediately puffed up his chest and repeated what had just happened, emphasizing his heroic performance at that time.

Colin ignored her and turned to look at the elven girl.

Belinda was obviously very fond of this lord who "desperately wanted to provide mint for the elves despite the backlash of nature", and learned human etiquette and slightly bent her knees: "Hello, honorable lord. ”

Colin smiled and responded, "Hello, your name is Belinda?" ”

"Yes."

"Could you please invite Lord Olivia to come here?"

……

Olivia had apparently listened to Belinda's story on the way here, so it was not the slightest surprise to see this strange creature.

"Your Excellency Olivia, although I can roughly guess its origin, after all, I have only seen it in books, so I still need to ask you to confirm, is this a kobold?"

"Yes." Olivia smiled and replied, "I haven't seen this creature in a long time, you know, in the places where elves live, there are generally no burrowing animals. ”

Elves like to live on large trees, and burrowing animals tend to destroy the root system of trees, so whenever elves settle down, they will first clean up the neighborhood.

Perhaps because of this, the relationship between elves and dwarves has never been good.

And kobolds, who like to burrow more than dwarves and are dirtier and filthy, are obviously more unpopular with elves.

The kobold had been hiding in the shadows in the corner since Belinda left, and seemed to dislike the sun.

But miraculously, when Olivia arrived, she staggered to the Elf's Lady's feet, meekly crouched down, and even tried to lick the elf's unshoed toes with her tongue.
