The most troublesome part of eating barbecue is cleaning up after the meal. That's why Shang Luo wants to bring out the Heavenly Soldiers - just let the Doudous do all the chores. Washing dishes for washing dishes, wiping tables for wiping tables, and some are re-disassembling and packing the barbecue grill.

There is no need for a faucet, and two beans directly bring a basin of water for him to wash.

With his hands wet, he dried it on a towel and waved the beans to step down.

"Gods, are you satisfied with the food we offer?" Even now, he doesn't mention that "fire is a sin" or anything like that.

Shang Luo just nodded slightly, noncommittal: "Take me to see your father." I have something to ask him. ”

"Yes! Please go this way. ”

"I don't need you to lead the way, you can just go back on your own, and we'll be there later."

With his golden palms underneath, Shang Luo stood above the village called Insula with his hands behind his back. The same is true of Phaethon and Apollonia, standing by.

"This place looks very quaint."

The walls of the houses made of stones, the roofs paved with hay, and the crooked fields outside the village all look very quaint, and it can be said that "the ancient times are not far away", a scene of the flood era.

And, the most "unremarkable" is the topography of this village.

The village of Insula is located on the alluvial fan of a valley that flows out of a mountain stream where fan-shaped veins of water are piled up. From the canyon to the plains, the terrain is gradually lowered.

The farmland is located on higher ground, which is convenient for irrigation and drainage of the fields. The house is located at a slightly lower level, so that the harvested crops can be transported directly along the terrain to the home.

"It's really the time of the flood." Apollonia crouched down and looked at the ground, "The early agricultural production of human beings was carried out on the terrain of this alluvial fan. Compared with the unsheltered Great Plains, it is this alluvial fan that is more able to cultivate the seedlings of civilization. The Great Plains of North America is a terrible place, where the seedlings of civilization were extinguished by floods and winds within a few years of taking root, and the indigenous people of the region struggled in the harsh marshes until we arrived. ”

"Have you developed it?" Shang Luo asked.

"I haven't come to remember where it was developed, after all, there are still grasslands in Eastern Europe that have not been developed, and there is also the Amazon River basin in the south that has not been developed. After all, the New World is too far from the civilized world. But after Colombia's independence, they should start reclaiming the Great Plains. It is quite troublesome to first repair the river to restrain the overflowing river, and then use other commodities to make up for the lack of minerals in the plain area, and then to prevent wind, flood, and drought. Let's hope they get some success. Even if they make a different choice, they are still part of the empire. ”

"By the way, there seem to be a lot of alluvial fans here?"

Shang Luo looked into the ground - it was all mountains, and there were indeed a lot of alluvial fans. However, each alluvial fan has a considerable distance between them, and most of them are blocked by traversal mountains. He could vaguely see a village on the other side, less than 20 kilometers away in a straight line. But there are mountains rising from the ground, and you may have to walk for several days to get around. Even if they are close to each other, it may be difficult for the two villages to communicate with each other.

"Then the only person who can communicate with them is probably the one upstream. What's that called? ”

"Carniki City." Apollonia replied, "I still have a good memory. ”

"Well, Carneki City. Although it seems quite far away, you can't see it from here. But you can get there along the water system, which is actually a lot more convenient than going to the next village. I don't know what it's like over there, but it's probably a larger village. Fall first, directly to the tree. ”

Pressing "Cloud Head", several people landed in front of the big tree in the middle of the village.

"O gods! Please accept our highest respect! ”

The voice came directly from the tree, and Shang Luo's doubts were dispelled—he had also wondered if the not-so-good-looking Uma was deceiving him, or if his communication with his father was only an abstract exchange. I didn't expect it to be so direct, to speak directly.

Faetong shook his head: "The boundary between yin and yang here is even more indifferent than I thought. This man, who was supposed to die, spoke directly in the middle of the village as if he was fine. ”

"Thank you, gods, for coming." The tree continued, "As we said before, we want to worship three patron saints as our guardians to resist the annexation of the city of Carneki. There are no dragon-worshipping shamans in their city, no sages to guide them, only evil gods who invade in the name of the true gods. They ignore the teachings of the Remnant Scripture and have no intention of dwelling in this world with us. They took the men and women of the village and helped them plant more fields so that they could capture more people. ”

The tree's speech was noticeably much more fluent than the previous Uma. He didn't need a translator to talk directly to Shang Luo and the others.

"Not a bad idea." Phaethon nodded, "Because there are no livestock in this world, the only way to farm is to use manpower. But I'm curious about how Zhu Guo is grown, I said, what do you call it? ”

"No, no, no, my name is worthless. Dear God, now I am just a tree of life, just call me a tree. It's enough to call me a tree. I have sinned so much that I should be no different from plants and trees before the gods. ”

"This one is a good one." Shang Luo nodded, "That, how did Zhu Guo grow it?" I also wanted to ask because it tasted pretty good. ”

"Zhu Guo? Ah, is that what the gods call them? It's not a plant, it's a spores laid by a mushroom, and if you transplant it into water, it will grow like this. ”

"Ah, it turned out to be eggs, I said how to smell like a meat dish." Shang Luo understood now, "It seems to taste pretty good." Where are the mushrooms? ”

"On the hill over there. We will tell which spores can grow into mushrooms and which ones cannot. According to the agreement with the mushrooms, we will eat the spores that cannot grow and release the ones that can grow back into the mountains. ”

"Not bad. In this way, if you have eaten, the mushroom beasts in the mountains will gradually increase, which is a good thing. ”

"But the Honorable God! The gods of Carnigie don't think so. They went to the mountains to catch more mushrooms and forced them to produce spores. But the spores are not planted in paddy fields, but ah! It's horrible! They stacked those spores! Planted on a shelf where the sun can't be seen! They don't distinguish between what they eat, and they eat it when they grow up. The scariest thing is! Did you know! They even have a measuring device to measure the size of the spores, and if the size is too large or too small, it will be thrown away! They just threw it away! It's horrible! It's horrible! I've never seen such a terrible evil god in all my life! ”
