Han Xu slapped Gao Ting without looking back, this anti-joint action is very similar to yoga: "Don't (four voices) talk, I'm here to get down to business, don't mess with me!" Then he turned back and asked the rich merchant, "Can you tell us about the basic situation of this place?" So the rich businessman gave them a popular science.

It turned out that this was a vast world, and the fat man couldn't describe it, but after a few people's brain supplements, he felt that it was at least as big as the two earths he was on before, at least the land area. The continent as a whole is divided into the magical civilization they are in now, and it is said that there may be a mysterious East, but the Eastern world and their world are separated by lofty mountains and mountains, and the people around the fat man have never seen visitors from the East, let alone go to the East.

In the magical civilization alone, there are dozens of countries, large and small, if you introduce them one by one, you may not be able to say it for a few days and nights, just say that the kingdom where they are located, called the Holy Volga Magic Kingdom, according to the fat man's words, a few people roughly estimated the land area, and it was already larger than the largest country in the world before.

After the fat man finished explaining the basic overview, he told them the details of the kingdom: "The current king of the Holy Volga Kingdom is called Gustav II, and he is the only great mage in the kingdom, and his magic strength is strong, and it is precisely because of his sitting in the battle that the surrounding countries dare not invade at all. The queen's name is Laura, and she is from the first family of the empire, and this family has been married to the royal family for generations. ”

"Wait, generational marriage? No, isn't that a marriage between close relatives? Lin Qiang was deeply amazed.

"Hey, Brother Qiang, what are you pretending to be in your head, I'm really convinced." Gao Ting complained.

"What's all the fuss, there are also many Eastern and Western nobles in our world, all of whom are married by close relatives, in order to ensure the purity of the bloodline, this is normal." While Han Xu was interpreting at the same time, he could also talk to them.

The fat man also introduced the place he planned to send them to, a mining area in the southern part of the empire. The reason why I went there was because the northern part of the Holy Volga Empire was a relatively prosperous region, where there were many magicians and a thriving magical civilization. The southern part of the empire is relatively backward, and it is basically a number of ordinary people who do not know magic, enslaved by a small number of imperial magic nobles, providing the northern civilization with production and daily necessities, as well as raw materials for magic research.

The mine that the fat man wants to take everyone to is called Qingling. The people living in the Qingling area are all black-haired and black-eyed people like the Crossing People, who are judged to be inferior by the empire because they basically don't know magic. The duty of the people in the Qingling area was to help the empire in mining ore, and because of the heavy work, many of the people there were weak and sick, and their lives were very difficult.

"So why did this guy take us to this kind of place? Want to sell us to coolies? Lin Qiang asked. Han Xu said: "Actually, people are also kind, only in such a place, let's go to a relatively safe place." She tugged at the clothes on her body and said, "The fat man gave us some coolie clothes, maybe he had the idea of selling coolies to us, but from another angle, there are not many places we can fit into in this world." "Just now, the fat rich businessman gave them a few clothes that people in this world wear, and let them put them on their bodies to avoid being too dazzling.

"Harm, anyway, this fat man saved us. If we don't know each other, let's go with him first. Tsuneishi said.

The carriage went all the way to the south, and after walking for more than ten days, everyone saw the vast mountains in front of them, which were endless. Along the way, they basically walked deep in the mountains and old forests, but none of the mountains could be as magnificent as the mountains in front of them.

"Have I arrived in Zhangjiajie?" Zhao Huiying looked at the mountains in front of her and sighed.

"It's much higher than the mountains of Zhangjiajie." Li Xueyuan raised his head and said.

The carriage walked for another three days, and finally arrived at a mining area, and after a brief negotiation with the gatekeeper miners of the mining area, the fat man led a group of eight people to meet the mine owner of the mining area. The mine owner's name is Lao Rhodes, and he has been a domestic slave of the lord of the province where Qingling is located for many years, and he was assigned here to look at the mine because of his old age and infirmity. Rhodes had a kind face, and after asking the rich businessmen about some information, he was going to take them to the mine to arrange work.

Han Xu stepped forward and said, "Among my friends, as far as I can communicate with you normally, several of them are strangers and don't know your language. Rod was a little surprised, but he was always good, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as you have physical strength to work in the mine, you don't need to communicate." But you have to teach them to speak our common language as soon as possible, or they won't be able to do without you. ”

Han Xu smiled and agreed, but the rich businessman suddenly stopped her and said, "Hey, wait, what about the costume design you promised me?" Han Xu smiled, turned his head and said to Zhao Huiying: "He wants a costume design drawing, have you drawn it?" ”

Zhao Huiying patted her chest and said, "Don't worry! I've already drawn it! By the way, I also drew some more costume designs, you can see if he needs it, thank him for saving us. ”

Han Xu turned his head and expressed Zhao Huiying's meaning to the rich businessman, who looked at the sketch in his hand and marveled at Zhao Huiying's painting skills. He had never seen such a good work of art, this was not just a design drawing, each of these paintings was a perfect work of art in his eyes, as long as any one of them was slightly reversed, it would definitely be priceless.

The fat businessman's love for talent suddenly rose, and he asked Han Xu excitedly: "Would you like this friend to go with me?" Han Xu stared at him with frowns, and his heart was furious when he saw it. The fat businessman saw Han Xu's expression, and didn't give him a message, and also realized that Han Xu might have misunderstood him, so he hurriedly explained: "No, no, I mean I want to hire her to be my painter, hire her with a high salary, and there is absolutely no other meaning." ”

Han Xu stretched his eyebrows at this time, turned his head and asked Zhao Huiying: "He said that he wants to take you away, stop working as a coolie, and hire you as a painter with a high salary, are you willing?" Zhao Huiying smiled and said: "Then I definitely won't go, I don't know the place well, everyone has to be together." Duan Lingzi also said: "Refuse, no matter how tired you are from doing coolies, you can't let Huiying go with him alone, so you can't help if it's dangerous." Han Xu nodded, and declined his kindness with the fat man.

The fat man deeply regretted, he looked at the sketch in his hand, made a decision, he threw a money bag to Rod and said, "Next, old Rhodes." Rod looked at the fat man in surprise and said, "Thompson, what are you doing here?" You introduced me to workers, I didn't give you money, why did you give me money? ”

At this time, everyone knew that the fat man's name was Thompson. Thompson grinned, "Take this money and arrange it for my friends to live and eat better." The extra is yours. Rod also smiled: "With our many years of friendship, I will take care of them as long as you say a word, don't worry, I will definitely make them much more comfortable than you sleeping in the open air." "Hahahaha." The two looked at each other and laughed, then waved goodbye.

Rhodes arranged a simple place to live for them, and it should have been Thompson's words that really worked, and the dormitory that Rhodes arranged for them was not in the mine, but a two-story wooden house in the village at the foot of the mine, with more than a dozen rooms. Rod told Han Xu: "Originally, ordinary workers could only live in the mine, and only the management and the families of the management could live in this miners' village. But because you're Thompson's friends, that's my Rhodes' friends. I'll give you a day to clean up, I've asked someone in the room to prepare a week's worth of food for you, and as for what to eat and drink, you'll need to buy it yourself in the village. ”

Rhodes pointed to the crowd and said, "The mine will ring the bell every morning, and you will gather within half an hour of the bell to meet today, which is the entrance to the mine, and a foreman will take you to work." At the end of the day's work, each person received five copper coins, enough to live in the village for three days. ”

Listening to Han Xu's translated words, Lin Qiang complained: "Isn't that just a daily salary, one day and three days off?" ”

"It's the god of Sanhe who does one day and rests for three days, and people go to Internet cafes to play, and you don't have to play in this world." Tsuneishi interface.

"Oh yes, Liangzi, aren't you majoring in robotics? So can you invent a computer game console or something in this world? It's not too boring. Lin Qiang said excitedly.

"It's hard to explain the industrial base to a liberal arts student, Brother Qiang, it's easier for you to let me invent cigarettes in this world, and the computer should forget it." Liang Shuopeng sighed.

"Then can you invent a shuttlecock or something for our girls? It's a little easier, right? Duan Lingzi asked.

Liang Shuopeng said: "That's so easy compared to computers, family. I don't have a problem with shuttlecock, badminton, table tennis, including men's and women's daily necessities. ”

"Oh~ Doraemon Liang." Tsuneishi said with a smile.

After Rhodes left, several girls organized three boys to start cleaning up the house, and they said they would be responsible for cooking. "I said, brothers, why are we so miserable? There are five girls, why are there only three of us to clean up? Lin Qiang complained.

"Lin Sang, let's do it, let you go cook, what can you do? There's no stove here, there's no gas. Tsuneishi said.

"I said Liang Sang, can you invent a stove?" Lin Qiang turned around and asked.

"Brother Qiang, I don't think I can even get what you asked me to get out first." Liang Shuopeng said helplessly.

"How can you do anything that girl asks you for?" Lin Qiang said angrily.

Liang Shuopeng patted Lin Qiang's shoulder and said, "Brother Qiang, if you have a chance, let's learn a reason in the next life." ”

Besides, on the girl's side, several people sat in a group, looking at the pile of ingredients in front of them, but they didn't move, and they were silent.

"Babies, is it too late to ask for something to be packed?" Zhao Huiying frowned.
