"Let's build a cabin, right here."
After the Desert Ship merchant fleet gradually moved away and disappeared into the depths of the oasis, Milly pointed to the dry and hard land not far away and said.
Green, who looked like a native of the sandstorm world, was wrapped in white gauze, with only a pair of eyes exposed. He looked at the thorn grass everywhere around him with his backhand knife. There was a "dang" sound. The texture was quite hard. The harsh and arid conditions of the desert. Let these vegetation have very strong vitality.
"here?"
Green asked back, puzzled: "Why not go inside the city wall? The living conditions here are too harsh for our current level of life."
Milly said: "We can build a house here, look for water resources, look for food, try every means to survive, use our limited life strength, rely on the most basic knowledge of wizards, start from scratch, and learn to be inferior. The way living things survive, and feel the meaning of survival of lower creatures.”
Green looked at the surrounding bushes and thorns. Based on the hardness of these bushes and thorns, if they could be cut off one by one, they would be an excellent material for making a wooden house. However, the bushes and thorns here were so hard that it would be a difficult task.
After thinking about it, Green said: "There is an oasis in front, surrounded by desert, and the temperature is higher than that in the desert. Therefore, a high-pressure area will be formed in the Isulman area. The cold wind carrying moisture will spread around, and the dry high-temperature air flow will This area is replenished at high altitude, forming a thermal cycle. With the limited rules that we can leverage based on our current strength... "
Thinking about it, Green said: "In the early morning when the temperature is the lowest every day, facing the cold and humid air flow and collecting water at a lower temperature, we can collect enough water resources. As the most influential universal currency in the world, water can We can then use water as a starting point to trade with humans in city-states and survive in the first harsh conditions of this world."
Without magic power and no power far beyond ordinary people, that is to say, they have lost the fulcrum for wizards to leverage the rules. All Green and Milly can do is to make the most of nature.
Milly looked up at the sun in the sky, and then she and Green avoided the hot wind and came to the shadow of a three-meter-long needle bush. With a satisfied look, she pointed at the thorn bush and said, "This is it. Maybe it will only take twenty or thirty years before we can have stretches of bushes in front of our door, or even form a village.”
Milly thought beautifully.
"I haven't become the master of the Holy Tower. Do you want to enjoy being the village chief?"
Green made a joke.
…
Seven days later.
In the sandstorm world, in addition to water resources, containers that store water are also extremely precious resources. Although containers cannot generate water resources, they can make themselves invincible in droughts when water resources are most scarce and precious. Every oasis civilization The reason why the royal family became a royal family is because they have the largest container, the lake!
Fortunately, it is now a period of drought. The bag of water brought by Green and Milly is not much, but it is truly pure water. It is better than the so-called poor people who quench their thirst with cactus juice or fern root juice. "Water" is naturally extremely precious.
There are only a few people on the street, all enjoying the coolness listlessly in the shade. The giant cactus is the most important plant in the city. Not only have the needles on this plant, which contains a lot of water inside, been removed, but it is also filled with various holes. , all caused by long-term smoking after being inserted into tubes by hungry and thirsty people.
The shop owner was a thin and shrewd old man wearing a gray hat. After pouring out a few drops of water from the water bag that Millie handed over, he dipped a cotton swab in it and tasted it, and then nodded with a very satisfied look. nodded.
"Distilled and purified water, without any magazines, that's good. What do you want in exchange?"
This bag of pure water is nothing to wealthy merchants, but to ordinary civilians, it is considered a huge fortune. As he spoke, the old man took out a price list and a series of various supplies.
"Fifty sea buckthorn tree fruits, five kilograms of dried mutton, a duck-billed hoe, and three water hyacinths."
After Green selected the most needed supplies, the old man frowned and said, "No, the water you have is not enough, unless you leave this cowhide bag here too."
The cowhide bag was given to Milly by Drownta. It was very finely made and had double layers of safety inside and outside. Relatively speaking, Green's bag was much simpler, and the old guy didn't like it either.
Frowning, Green threw a red stone on the table with a clatter of his gray hands, and said in a low voice: "I occasionally dig it out, even though it is only the lowest-grade defective product, it should be no problem to make up the price difference. "
After a while, Green took the goods and was about to leave with satisfaction, but was stopped by Milly.
"You've already come in. Wouldn't it be a loss if you don't go to the Palace Square?"
Each oasis is a relatively low-lying land in a region. Therefore, it can store enough water during the short rainy season to prepare for evaporation and consumption during the dry season, so that the oasis will not be cut off from water and invaded by sandworms.
There is no concept of pollution in the sandstorm world. Most of the desert boat construction factories and other handicraft workshops are opened in the palaces and noble territories, which are convenient for management and safer. Although it is relatively safe within the oasis city-state, it is not absolutely safe. Occasionally, it is still safe. Some hungry sandworms strayed in and caused casualties.
The population around Green and Milly gradually became denser, and the buildings changed from earthen structures to masonry structures.
The two of them walked around and took a look, immersing themselves in the vision of the lower beings in this world. From the "rumbling" and "rumbling" factory building, they could vaguely see the shadows of people moving around. They were very dense, and the vast majority of them were Some are children.
"Cheap labor, if the world's natural resources are more abundant, or if there is a catastrophic change in rules, causing large-scale extermination of sandworms, and information exchange completes qualitative changes in technology, there may be a chance to unify the world. Now, sandworms Although it is the top creature on the food chain in this world, it cannot go any further due to the wisdom and evolutionary flaws of the group."
Green is still looking at everything in this world with the eyes of a higher creature.
On the other side, Milly, who was walking and looking, suddenly stopped, looked up at a statue, and frowned: "Green, look at this statue, don't you think it looks like someone?"
"someone?"
Green looked at the statue that Milly pointed at a few more times, shook his head and said, "Who does it look like?"
"I think he is a bit like a four-ringed true spirit wizard, what do you think?"
Milly's words made Green startled. After taking a closer look, he found that the expressions on the statues were somewhat similar!
