4. Fighting for Chishui Bay Chapter 144 To the Desert
The two ran several streets before they came to a breathless stop.
Rowling gasped and couldn't straighten up, "Oh my God, you can run so fast in a long dress." ”
Harley gasped and laughed, "Get used to it." ”
Rowling breathed a sigh of relief, "I received instructions a few days ago that I was going to build a new city. ”
Hallie was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered what she said about "building a new country" a few days ago, and suddenly felt the hairs on her whole body stand on end, "The one you said...... It's true? But...... Building a City...... I mean, it's incredible. ”
Rowling pointed to her feet, "Incredible?" It's new. ”
Seeing that Harley didn't seem to be convinced, Rowling led him a few more steps forward and found a small cement sign near a building. It reads: Rowling, a master craftsman, presided over the design.
Hallie's eyes widened as he looked at the cement sign, and finally it was time for him to complete it, and it was less than half a year since then.
His jaw almost dropped to the ground: "Oh my God, smart and beautiful sister Rowling, how did you do that?" ”
Rowling smiled mischievously, "If you want to do it, you can do it." Next, we're going to build a new city in the desert! ”
Hallie took a deep breath, "I'm going too." ”
"Huh?" Rowling originally wanted to say goodbye, but she didn't expect Harley to suddenly say this.
Harley crossed her back, "I'm going to see if this cute little sister is lying to me." ”
Rowling didn't know how to answer.
"Besides, there are many bad guys in the desert, and I have to protect you." ”
"But your caravan ......," Rowling asked, confused.
"Let's drop by." Harley said categorically.
.
Hallie's sudden decision disrupts Rex's business plans.
Susan had thought that Rex would be furious and beat up the stinky boy. Unexpectedly, he just drank a cup of goat's milk, and suddenly sighed, "Alas, that's it, it's not money that belongs to me, and there is no way to earn it." ”
He stroked his goatee and said lonely, "After more than ten years of wandering outside, how many decades can I have in my life?" How many more times will we see my brother? ”
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the grand wedding banquet in the general's mansion that year, watched his sister drink and talk with Glenn when she got married, and remembered that when Glenn first arrived in the oasis, he jointly built the first caravan.
There was finally a hint of tiredness in his voice: "It's time to go back and see." ”
"But......" Susan suddenly asked, "your car seems to be broken?" ”
Rowling poked her head out of her back again, "You can take my car." ”
.
The next day, Rowling's "car" arrived at the door of the hotel as promised.
It was an elongated carriage pulled by a Dorummon, with two levels above and below, and it looked a bit like a modern bus, which should be able to seat hundreds of people. Although there were six pairs of wheels under the body, they did not touch the ground, and the entire vehicle was suspended in the air.
This strange vehicle has aroused the curiosity of many businessmen, and quite a few have begun to inquire about the price. However, they were all rejected by Rowling on the grounds that "military products are not for sale for the time being".
Hallie took Rowling's hand and climbed into the carriage, "I thought you were talking about carriages." ”
Rowling laughed, "The carriage is so inefficient, we have a few hundred people going with us." ”
As Rex got into the car, the carriage shook visibly. Hallie was curious: "Why does this car float?" ”
Rowling led them to their seats, "The great craftsman Hills combined the research of the Korsons to invent something called 'flange'. Combined with the Soul Stone solution, it can float, greatly reducing friction. ”
The soldiers led the Dorumon in their lead to the open space outside the city, where there were still many floating carriages, some carrying people and some loading. Many craftsmen were busy connecting the carriages back and forth, and even Rowling came back to help.
Rex suddenly said, "I have seen a kind of 'train' in the royal capital that is also like this, but that kind of car can only run on two rails. ”
Rowling naturally knew about trains, and she smiled: "There were no soul arts and monsters in the world we used to, so what we invented was more suitable for that world. Now that there are better options here, improvements need to be made. ”
Rex seemed to think of something, and sighed lightly: "I also made a deal with the 'Traveler' back then, if they can be as flexible as Miss Rowling, maybe the fate of 'Tiandu' will be different." ”
Dragged by several monsters, the vehicle scurried through the scarlet forest. Once they were in the desert, the monsters began to speed up.
There was almost no resistance in the suspended carriage, and those monsters ran faster and faster. The oncoming wind and sand crackled like hail on the window glass. Outside the car window, the desolate sand dunes were rapidly receding.
It was obviously a trip home, but Harley looked out the window at the scenery she hadn't seen for many years, and silently took out her mother's necklace. Looking at her mother's beautiful face, her eyes were full of loss.
"Hallie, you seem to be feeling a little uncomfortable, are you motion sickness?" Rowling asked with concern.
Harley shook her head, "I can't do anything about the 'Bila God' in the desert devouring my mother, I can't do anything about losing my teacher in the Psychic Tower, and I can't do anything about it even if the old thunder head is detained by the Ice Wolf King with twenty alpacas." ”
She put the necklace back in her handbag, "I'm just a weakling, I can only get into this dress and get into this character called 'Hallie' to escape everything." ”
Rowling said, "It's okay, sometimes it's necessary to escape." ”
Hallie sighed, "Really? ”
Rowling laughed, "In the face of a beast, do you want to go up and fight it or run away?" ”
Hallie was stunned.
Rowling said: "There is nothing wrong with running away from an invincible enemy. ”
She said lightly, "Remember what I told you about my past life? I was very tired of living, so I chose to escape. But now my life is not easy, but I don't seem to run away, do you know why? ”
Hallie looked up at her, "Because you've gotten stronger?" ”
Rowling shook her head, "I have a partner." ”
She smiled confidently, whether it was Lydia, Copperhammer, Hills, or the artisans in the Craftsman's Guild, they were all her companions.
"Now that I think about it, when I'm alone, a lot of things can push me to the brink," Rowling said lightly. That's when you need the support of some 'friends'. ”
Hallie asked, "Do you mean, ask a friend to help?" ”
Rowling laughed, "I never expected my simple-minded 'good sister' to be of much help. ”
Hallie looked at her quizzically. She pretended to be mysterious and said, "But if she can give me 'support', this can give me strength." ”
Hallie sighed, "It's a pity I don't have any friends. ”
Rowling took Hallie's hand, "You at least have one friend, right?" ”
