With four days left before the forty-nine-day deadline, Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo brought all the Jiuyuan warriors and more than 200 savages back to Jiuyuan with the howling of the Jiufeng.
When the savages saw the Jiuyuan tribe surrounded by the tall city walls, they were shocked at first, then joyful, and finally discouraged as if they had resigned themselves to their fate.
Shocked by the scale and majesty of this tribe, I am delighted that the conditions here are much better than my original place of residence, and I am discouraged. After they are brought into such a tribe, it will definitely not be so easy to escape.
Except for ignorant children, every savage has a sense of fear, sadness and powerlessness that he will have to work for others as food.
Even on the way back to Jiuyuan, the soldiers from Jiuyuan didn't beat, scold or abuse them, let alone killed any of them. Even their patients who were seriously injured and suffering from frostbite were brought back.
But the savages still didn't quite believe what the Jiuyuan priest said would make them live a better life, and Yan Mo didn't explain any more after saying it twice. If it was him, he would be afraid and worried, anyway, waiting After taking it back for a long time, those savages will naturally know what kind of tribe Jiuyuan is.
Because of saving this group of savages and moth catchers, his scum value was reduced a lot.
Before reaching the outer city of Jiuyuan, the soldiers from Jiuyuan greeted them.
In the moat, the mermaids hid in the warmer water and did not emerge. The dwarves like cats to do some handicrafts by the firepit in the stone house.
In this kind of weather, few people were still wandering outside, but they still attracted a lot of people to watch when they came back. Most of them ran out of the warm house only after hearing the news.
The savages attracted the attention of the Jiuyuan people and the dwarves. Seeing so many people, big and small, the savages were also afraid, and they all grabbed their weapons.
Yan Mo felt a piercing gaze that couldn't be ignored. He raised his head and saw Chief Hao of the Yuanji Tribe and the old priest Qiu Shi among the crowd in the outer city. Although he saw the two, he didn't stop in his footsteps.
Yuan Zhan also saw it, and he didn't ask or say anything.
Yan Mo handed over the savages to Wu Chen and the other two disciples, and left them alone. He had to take advantage of the few days left to consolidate his knowledge of the fourth level of bone refining, mainly by mixing the materials.
Yuan Zhan grabbed him, "Tell everyone about the flammable stone."
"That's coal, something similar to charcoal." Yan Mo called again clearly, he was anxious to conduct experiments, and was in no mood to play tricks.
"That's what you discovered, it's a gift from the ancestor god, it must be said."
Yan Mo thought the same, what a great opportunity this is to establish his prestige again, but why did Yuan Zhan insist on him to explain
"You are my priest, even if you kill me a thousand times, as long as you can't kill me, you are still my priest."
What do you mean? Yan Mo looked at the back of the man striding away, at first he was expressionless, and after a while, the corners of his lips were raised mockingly.
This bastard must have done it on purpose, he didn't say it for so many days, but he waited until he got back to Jiuyuan to say such a word, for his peace of mind
no need! Even if you hate me and fear me, so what? Are you willing to betray me when I am still useful to you
A certain person refuses to admit that his tight string has actually relaxed a lot at this moment, and who really hopes that his partner or even the person who is gradually recognized as a partner will be wary of himself all day long
As for whether Yuan Zhan might lie and deliberately relax his vigilance, Yan Mo said that he never really believed in anyone.
Does Yuan Zhan really not care about being killed seven or eight times in a row in the illusion by his priest and recognized partner
Yuan Zhan really doesn't care. Who is Yan Mo? He carried this man back to the tribe as food reserves for a few days, and he knew that he was a ruthless man with a simple face, a cunning mind, a ruthless man who was ruthless to himself and even more ruthless to others. And when he decided to let this person accompany him for the rest of his life, he knew very well that Yan Mo would take revenge on him sooner or later.
Yan Mo killed him, but he also saved him many times. It can be said that without Yan Mo, he would not be what he is today.
Yuan Zhan has an account in his belly, and he remembers everything clearly, but he never tells others, because he has always adhered to: Saying is worse than doing!
The priest, Master Mo, got a new gift from the ancestor god after he went out, and brought to Jiuyuan coal that is more resistant to burning than firewood, which made the people of Jiuyuan very happy.
Regardless of whether they were from the Awu tribe or those from Yuanji, they once again deeply felt that they had followed the wrong person.
Follow Mr. Mo to have meat to eat. Who said this line? It was so true!
Following Mr. Mo, there is not only meat to eat, but also red salt that can strengthen the body and taste good, there are clothes to keep warm, and now there are more magical cotton clothes, and now there is coal, so many benefits!
Yan Mo is afraid that everyone will be poisoned by carbon monoxide, so he must pay attention to ventilation when burning coal. For this reason, chimneys will become very necessary.
When it came to the chimney, Mu Changming, the former head of the Awu clan who was temporarily in charge of researching the chimney and kang, immediately rushed forward with a bitter face.
"My lord, the kang that directly burns the fire at the bottom is not good. People who sleep on it say it is too hot, and everyone thinks it is a waste of firewood. Later we tried to dig a pit in front of the kang for cooking, and then A hole was made in the pit to the soil kang, and then the flue was made into a zigzag shape according to what you said, so that the kang would be hot, but it would not work once the fire was extinguished, and the smoke had to be exhausted, and the kang would be cold in a short time .”
Yan Mo couldn't solve this problem either, he asked another question: "Have you tried to move the stove to the kitchen, and pass the flue from the kitchen to the house?"
"Everyone is trying to build a stove and let the smoke go along the passage. Everyone understands, but how to make the kang warm and let the smoke out, everyone doesn't know." Mu Changming shook his head with a bitter face color.
"You can ask a dwarf to try it." Yan Mo said as he walked.
"Huh? Looking for them?" Mu Changming was reluctant.
"Is face more important, or is life more important?"
Mu Changming's face turned red, almost purple. It was the first time he was criticized by Master Mo, and he suddenly felt that he was not a thing. He dragged on for such a long time to solve the problem for the sake of his own face. Is this worthy of the test given to him by the priest and the ancestor god
Yan Mo didn't expect that his casual words would make Mu Changming so ashamed. Seeing such a big man with his head lowered into his crotch, he reached out and patted him on the back, "I know you don't want the dwarves to overtake us. Jiuyuan, it’s not that we can’t make this thing ourselves. But now it’s severe cold and time is running out, we don’t have so much time to think about it, and there are so many dwarves, they all stay at home and have nothing to do, such good labor is not in vain No, it’s our own pleasure to get the stuff out. If you don’t want to invite the dwarves, you can try offering a reward. Let the Jiuyuan people, dwarves, mermaids, and even the Granma tribe participate, and whoever gets it out will be rewarded. "
Mu Changming couldn't help nodding, and seemed to have figured out something when he heard the latter, and said solemnly: "My lord, don't worry, I know what to do."
After Mu Changming left, someone else came up again, this time it was about those beasts that had been captured for the winter, one of them had already froze to death due to the cold weather.
This kind of loss was already within Yan Mo's expectations, so they had to step up to build the sheds for the livestock, and the fodder had to keep up.
There are also warrior leaders waiting to report at Yuanzhan.
"I saw that the Yuanji tribe has already moved into the outer city?" Yuan Zhan asked hideously.
Hide nodded, "Yes. It's not for nothing, they will exchange food with us next fall."
"autumn?"
"They first offered to help us build cities and houses, but I declined. There are many female animals with cubs in spring, which is not suitable for large-scale hunting. In summer, the meat is easy to rot, so I mentioned autumn."
Yuan Zhan admitted that they didn't lack a little food in the first place, and they wanted food mainly to let Yuan Ji know that it was not for nothing to escape the cold. As for not allowing them to build cities and houses, it was probably because they were afraid of their tampering.
"Don't let them enter the inner city. If anyone wants to see their relatives, meet them in the outer city."
"yes."
"Watch them."
Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo were both busy, and they didn't get to rest until night.
The discovery of the coal mine is a great joy, and it will take more than two hundred people. Although it will take time to mine or train these savages, it is always a good thing.
It's just that the lizardman's ability made Yan Mo very alert, and it also made him dare not underestimate the power of the three cities.
With the birdman who was good at archery before and the lizardman who is good at mind control this time, the power of the three cities is obviously deeper than he imagined.
Although the lizardmen and giants were killed by them, hidden dangers have been left. As long as Sancheng is willing to investigate, it is not difficult to find them Jiuyuan.
The Duofei tribe is also troublesome. Although their princesses don't want to go back to Tianzhu City, and they don't want Tianzhu City to find them, Duofei is the princess of Tianzhu City after all, and the main leaders such as Fei Li also come from Tianzhu City. The possibility of cooperating with the Duofei tribe is obviously greater than taking over by force. However, the relationship between the Duofei tribe and them is relatively delicate. If there is no friendship between the three cities, once the power of the three cities really extends, then It's hard to say.
After much deliberation, at present, they can only negotiate with the three cities in the future if they develop desperately and strengthen their strength.
Yes, negotiating, not fighting.
If they are too weak, Sancheng can destroy all of Jiuyuan as long as they send some high-ranking blood warriors.
If their development strength is only moderate, the three cities may form a cooperative or alliance relationship with them without knowing that the fruit of witch luck is in his hands, but once the three cities learn that the fruit of witch luck is in Jiuyuan In the hands of the priest, then war will be inevitable.
But if they can be as powerful as the three cities, or at least develop a special power that they have to fear, then they can have the possibility of negotiating with the three cities on an equal footing.
Yan Mo told Yuan Zhan his thoughts without any concealment.
Yuan Zhan is the leader of Jiuyuan, he must know what kind of crisis Jiuyuan may encounter in the future.
In the end, Yuan Zhan only glanced at him and said: "This is an inevitable thing. As long as we are alive, war is definitely inevitable. In the future, we will not fight with the three cities, but will fight with other tribes. Even if there is no fruit of witch luck Same thing. Every warrior, every single person in the tribe knows that except the kids under the age of five."
I'm sorry, there have been too many good times during this period, I forgot that we actually live in danger every day, hunting a wild beast has to be robbed from other tribes, and the fact that a single salt mine can make several large tribes go to war. Yan Mo, who came from the peaceful age, shrugged and reminded himself once again what era he was living in.
Even in the world he lived in before, didn't there still be wars every day? His mother country has not been stable for a long time, but the border has not been peaceful until the moment he left.
"In the future, we need to strengthen the training of mental strength. Mental strength is mentioned in the inheritance of the Bone Refining Clan. I will study first to see if I can combine the primary and intermediate training methods to focus on mental strength training. Otherwise, we will meet again next time." People who can control their mental power will suffer quite a lot.”
"Well, there's nothing to do in the future. You should focus on the inheritance of the Bone Refining Clan first. How is the fourth level training?"
"Fortunately, I think the difficulty is later. You will send me to the place of inheritance in two days, and I will stay there after that. If there is something urgent, you can come to me again. If it's okay, I will probably stay until the beginning of spring before returning "Yan Mo mainly wants to clarify the two of mental power control and the use of Yuanjing. There are methods to control and influence mental power, and there must be a way to protect them. Since the bone refiners can use mental power to control and connect bone Bao, their research in this area should not be weaker than that of the lizardmen.
Yuan Zhan didn't stop Yan Mo from retreating. Although he didn't want to guard the empty room alone, he also knew that Mo must become stronger. Although he could protect his priests, he wasn't always with Mo.
"I suggest that you also hand over all the things at hand for the time being, and take advantage of the tranquility of winter to quickly stabilize the seventh-level ability. Yu Wu said that the seventh-level water crystal can last for at least one year, and it is still Without the fruit of witch luck sucking your fire energy every day."
Yuan Zhan nodded, he also had this plan.
"With Hide and Lie around, the tribe can't mess up as much as they want." Yan Mo also heard about Hide's arrangement for Yuanji, and he was quite satisfied. The warrior leaders were even surprised, saying that the old priest didn't make much trouble this time, and after being rejected twice, he calmly accepted their conditions.
Yan Mo remembered the stinging eyes he felt when he was in the outer city, was that the old priest looking at him? I don't know if it's because of the distance, but I always feel that the old priest looks a little different, and seems to have a fresh look again
He thought that after the serious illness, the old priest would step aside even if he died, but he didn't expect the old man to be more energetic than before after being ill.
"I'll make arrangements. I'll be stared at at the original place." Yuan Zhan threw away his coat, and walked up to Yan Mo with his bare body still thin but covered with strong muscles again, and inserted his fingers into the hair at the back of his head. .
Yan Mo looked up at him, thinking he was about to say something important.
Yuan Zhan opened his mouth: "I can't wait until you are eighteen, and we will be together in the spring of next year."
"… no."
Yuan Zhan's long and narrow eyes shot out a fierce light, "It's okay if you don't."
Yan Mo said calmly, "My health is too poor. I wasted a lot when I picked it up for you, and then I was... worn out even more by you, and I got sick a few times after that. Although after long-term conditioning, my body has recovered. It’s much better than before, but don’t forget, not long ago, I just saved your life by making my own flesh and blood into a Soul Resurrection Pill, don’t even think that I’ve recovered now, it’s just empty air.”
Yuan Zhan pursed his lips tightly.
"If you really can't wait, you can use force, but I will definitely resist. Don't think that you really can't die. After all, you are a human being, not a god."
"No thighs? No hands? No mouth?"
The corner of Yan Mo's mouth twitched, when will this animal know how to bite without a teacher
"You can't bear it?"
"I can't bear it! Why do I have to bear it? Is it okay if you don't go in?"
"It's not good for you if you do too much of this kind of thing."
Yuan Zhan lowered his head and rubbed the tip of his nose, rascally said: "I'm full of anger! And last time I heard you tell Kusamachi and the others clearly that men and women have to vent after they grow up. "
"I've told Kusamachi and the others so much, and you heard this one?"
Yuan Zhan couldn't help biting his face, and pushed him to the bedroom, "Go to bed, it's getting late."
"I'm tired, I won't do anything with you tonight."
Yuan Zhan said perfunctorily: "I know, I know, you sleep with you, I promise not to get in."
"Get out! It won't work if you don't insert it, my thigh skin can't stand your grind!"
"Don't be so stingy, you killed me so many times, did I say anything?"
Yan Mo stopped, and Yuan Zhan, who was walking side by side with him, turned to look at him.
Yan Mo's gaze went down and down, and finally settled on the upright buttocks of a certain animal.
Yuan Zhan followed his gaze and turned to look over.
"There are some things that cannot be discussed." Yan Mo said with an unserious smile.
"How to discuss?" Yuan Zhan embraced him, and after a while, he felt a paw pinching his buttocks.
Yan Mo was satisfied with the touch, "If you want to..."
"it is good!"
"... You don't even know what I'm going to say, so you dare to say yes?"
"Why don't you dare?" Yuan Zhan had already been touched, and his anger was already high, but now he couldn't suppress it, his voice was hoarse and deep, "What do you want to do, come!"
