Two days later, Doras took Link and Celine into the Field Wilderness.
After running for ten minutes in the wilderness, Doras couldn't help it: "Link, is this your territory? Seriously, I've lived for almost 400 years, and this is the most barren place I've ever seen. Squatting here and defecating is like sticking a rock in your ass."
Celine also frowned: "This situation is much worse than I imagined."
Along the way, Link kept saying that the territory was barren, and that even a man and a tiger were mentally prepared for it. It is normal to be barren in the wilderness, but it was still unacceptable when he actually saw it.
This is more than barren, this is a pile of rocks, no matter how many gold coins are thrown down, it is useless.
Although Link is ambitious and has a plan in mind, the reality is indeed a bit bad, so he can only laugh dryly: "It will get better, this is only temporary."
Just as we were talking, the weather changed, and the wind started to blow. After ten minutes, the wind became stronger, with raindrops in it. After another ten minutes, God turned his face completely, and greeted the two of you with a storm mixed with hail. First-timers in the wild.
"No wonder you want to talk about changing the climate." Celine was taken aback by the violent weather, and Doras exploded the wind elemental shield. They were not exposed to rain or hit by hail, but facing this In such a climate, what should ordinary people do? How to grow crops in this place
Doras walked in the mud step by step, he asked Link cautiously: "You said before that you want to hire someone to serve me, can I choose to give up? As long as you let me stay in Gwent Forest .”
He felt that this place was not suitable for him to live in. If he stayed here, his life span would be shortened by 100 years.
"We both agreed, are you going to go back on your word so soon? What about the reputation of the Saofeng Tiger Clan?" Link asked back.
"Ah~~~~~"
Doras roared sadly, and moved forward helplessly. He felt that he was cheated, but he was a howling tiger who kept his promise... For the tigress that Link promised, he endured it!
After walking for a long time, Scorched Earth Ridge appeared in the field of vision.
Although there are currently no magicians in Scorched Earth Ridge, just in case, before entering the camp, Link handed an exquisite necklace to Celine: "The camouflage pendant can completely shield your breath, and there is also a storage space."
This was built by Link in the carriage on the way to the south. Although the time was in a hurry, under Link's obsessive-compulsive disorder, this thing was still exquisite and flawless.
The main body of the necklace made of krypton gold shines with lavender-like purple light, which is mixed with the luster of broken stars of thorium. Finally, the pendant is made of high-quality multi-kun stone, which is used to create space equipment. This piece is like suet. The jade-like space stone was polished by Link to be crystal clear.
Celine fell in love with it at a glance, but she didn't reach out to take it, she raised her chin slightly, and said to Link behind her, "Put it on for me."
Link smiled softly, and gently put the pendant on Celine's slender neck. From his angle, he could inadvertently see the breathtaking white light in Celine's collar.
After taking a look, Link jumped down heavily, quickly looked away, coughed lightly and said, "Doras, after you arrive at the camp, don't lose your temper at random, and don't make jokes with others, it will cause panic."
"Got it. Just don't forget the original promise."
Link said to Celine again: "When you get to the territory, don't show off your skills at will, just keep a sense of mystery."
"Then what is my identity?" Celine turned her head and looked at Link with a smile.
This question is difficult to answer, Link thought for more than ten seconds before saying: "You are a friend I brought back from the south... Good friend, um, that's it."
He wanted to talk about being more intimate, but he was afraid that Celine would be unhappy, and he was reluctant to say that they were alienated, so they became good friends in the end.
Celine snorted, turned around, her face wasn't unhappy, but she wasn't happy either, so the matter was settled.
It took only 4 days for Link to go south. These days, Scorched Earth Ridge was basically spent in storms. From a distance, Link could vaguely see potholes on the ground, and there were wooden boards broken by the wind everywhere. Occasionally, there were people. , also ran over in a hurry, and then retreated into the room.
In such a climate, the harbor cannot be built, and other things in the territory must also stop. A group of people huddled in the house, basically in a state of bored waiting.
'It won't work like this, the climate issue must be resolved as soon as possible! 'Link feels that the problem is very urgent, and it has greatly affected the progress of the territory's construction.
Fortunately, the vigilance of the flamingo mercenary group satisfied Link. When Doras appeared more than 50 meters away from the city wall, even though the wind and rain were pouring, the highest sentry tower sounded the alarm of enemy attack horn.
After a while, the soldiers who had been hiding in the guard tower and hiding in the turret of the city wall rushed out in the heavy rain. After another ten seconds, Yake, who was fully armed, also appeared on the city wall.
This reaction speed made Link nod in satisfaction.
At this time, Yake also saw Link on the back of the tiger. He wiped the rainwater from his face, raised his hand to stop the archer beside him, and shouted: "It is the lord who is back, put down your weapon!"
The mercenaries also saw Link, and their nervousness relaxed.
Such a giant beast with a height of more than four meters is very oppressive, but the lord is sitting on its back. This should be no problem. In the eyes of these mercenaries, the lord is omnipotent, even if he is riding a giant tiger , and brought back a beautiful woman, that couldn't be more normal.
Entering Scorched Earth Ridge from the gate of the camp, Link and Celine got off Doras's back, and Yake, Gridan, and Lucy also came up in the rain.
Link waved his hand and said, "Don't stand outside, go inside and talk."
Afterwards, he said to a mercenary captain: "Go find some workers. If you have enough people, you must build a big shed within an hour to shelter Doras from the rain. No, this is a temporary arrangement." The salary will be distributed according to the regulations."
Link handed 10 gold coins to the mercenary captain.
The workers who came to his territory were all freedmen who came from Wintert Forest to make money. His lord's orders were not very easy to use, and he could only use gold coins to open the way. The specific salary had been agreed in detail by both parties, such as To rush to work in the rain and work for half a day, a worker will be paid 1 silver coin.
In this regard, Link never defaulted on his arrears, and he paid the bill directly after the work was done, so although the living conditions in this camp were harsh, there were still a group of stable workers following Link.
"Yes, my lord." The mercenary captain turned to organize the workers.
Link said to Lucy again: "Go and call the head chef, butcher a cow and roast it for Doras. Oh, Doras is the name of this tiger."
At this moment, Doras said directly: "One cow is not enough, I need two cows, and you don't need to roast them for me, just give them to me, I'm about to starve to death."
What he said startled everyone, but being able to speak meant being able to communicate, and everyone's fear suddenly dropped a lot.
Lucy went directly to the corral to lead the oxen. Knowing that there was something to eat, Doras followed Lucy obediently.
Link and the others entered the house.
In the hall, Link introduced to everyone: "This is Celine Fran, she is... one of my magic apprentices, and also my good friend."
This magic apprentice was thought of by Link on a whim, but he remembered Celine's experience of learning magic at the Fleming Academy of Magic.
Subsequently, Link introduced Yake and others to Celine.
Yake and others all greeted Celine, and Celine responded appropriately, with a warm smile on her face. Link glanced at her carefully, wanting to see her thoughts, but his vicious observation ability has always But the timing didn't work. After watching it several times, he just couldn't figure out what Celine was thinking. In the end, he simply gave up thinking about it.
Now Lucy also came over, and Link introduced her to Celine again.
Lucy's eyes were much sharper, and she turned her eyes between Celine and Link a few times, suddenly smiled, and said enthusiastically, "Celine, you are so handsome."
Instead, the praise that Link's mother Lilith gave her that day was forwarded to Celine.
Celine smiled and said, "Sister Lucy, you are also a great beauty."
Lucy sighed a little: "I am old."
While speaking, she glanced at Link subconsciously, Link didn't pay attention, and was chatting with Yake, Lucy's eyes were a little disappointed. When Celine found out, she felt as if she was facing a big enemy. No way, this Lucy also seems to like Link, so she should be careful.
Link didn't expect the scheming among the women, he sat down on the long table and said, "This kind of weather is really delaying things, but I have found some solutions, and I will go out again in a week, When I get back, I will start to act."
These words are a boost to the heart. Everyone who said it showed hope on their faces. Although the territory is very barren, there is still hope for change. The only thing is the weather. method, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The atmosphere suddenly became active, and everyone spoke one after another, talking about future plans, while Link was listening, interjecting a few words occasionally, and discussed several feasible solutions.
At this time, a person came in from outside the door, but it was the magician Calido of the mercenary group.
Calido has been in Gwent Forest recently. His job is to be the Magic Affairs Officer. Currently, he is mainly acting as a middleman between Link and the merchant White, responsible for sending the magic equipment made by Link to White and settling the payment. , so most of the time, he was not in the territory, but he just came back today.
He saluted Link first, and then handed over a space bracelet: "Lord, this is the income for this time."
Link glanced at it, and there were about fifteen thousand gold coins in it, which was another big income. He was happy, thought for a while, and handed the space bracelet back to Calido: "Take this money and go to Donggu, find Master Vosminlun and order a large plowing golem."
Master Wosminlun is best at making all kinds of magic puppets, commonly known as golems, which is well reflected in his notebook, so Link thought of him when he needed golems.
Kalido was startled, but didn't understand: "The plowing puppet?"
Link explained: "Yes, I've seen it. In the land in the territory, the gravel layer does not exceed half a meter. Below it is the soil that can grow crops. As long as the soil is turned up, the territory can grow crops."
In other places, the surface layer is soil and the bottom layer is stone, but the field wilderness is just the opposite. This is one of the strange things about this wilderness. And this plow puppet, one reason is to dig out the soil, and the second reason is that Link is ready to mine the anti-magic clay.
This time Calido understood, nodded and said, "I'll do it now."
"No hurry, let's talk after a few days of rest." Link waved his hand, and then handed a magic book called "Breath of the Wind" to Calido: "This book should be helpful to you, study it carefully .”
Calido showed gratitude on his face, he took the magic book respectfully, and put it away carefully.
The magic books recommended by Link are not simple. He has read five of them now, and his understanding of magic is completely different from that of the past. Now, he can be regarded as a semi-academic magician, and he is no longer the wild way of the past.
Afterwards, everyone discussed matters for a while, and then Link prepared to arrange accommodation for Celine.
Lucy said: "The wooden cabins in the camp are full. Sister Celine will live with me these days, and move in after the new wooden cabin is built in a few days."
Link thought it was good, and looked at Celine, who also nodded, so that she could just probe into Lucy's mind.
There was nothing else to do after that, Link left the conference hall, and was going back to the house to make some magic equipment, as well as the wand of the old guy Waynes. The climate change was imminent, and the trip to the underground palace should naturally be done as soon as possible.
When he walked out of the wooden house for discussion, he saw Doras under a large canopy, eating a large piece of barbecue with relish, looking at him, he wished he could chew the bones and swallow them, and there was another piece of belt beside him. He didn't even look at the bloody raw beef.
Well, this savage kid has been overwhelmed by the chef's grilling skills.
