Northwest of Neverwinter City, hidden in the hinterland of the forest.
Sheya feels that since joining the railway engineering team, this month and a half has been the most incredible period of his life.
No... He thought, maybe it's not the right word to describe it, because every once in a while, he can always see incredible things as if he never really knew Neverwinter.
Sheya finally understood why the workers who came here had to sign a non-disclosure agreement.
The agreement required them not to spread the visions they saw, whether it was oral or recorded, it was a crime against the laws of the kingdom, ranging from fines and confiscation of income to distribution to the North Slope Mine and forced labor. And the agreement also emphasized that those who are unwilling to comply can withdraw from the engineering team, but do not take chances. The Kingdom Security Bureau is in charge of inspection, and no one can escape the ubiquitous legal net.
Sheya once disapproved of this, and there is a possibility of being caught in the written record, so how can the oral record not be missed? If one is reported and one is arrested, the project will not be implemented. But now, he has a completely different view. The number of secrets hidden in Neverwinter under His Majesty's King may far exceed his imagination. In places that most people can't see, there may be surging Amazing power.
The one who impressed him the most was the witch.
Bai Zhi is also a witch, but in his eyes, he has always been an object of protection. When the church preached that witches were evil people who inherited the power of the devil, he didn't take it to heart. If they are so powerful, why are they hunted by the church everywhere, and they usually don't even dare to show their heads
But this notion was shattered by a witch named Lord Ye Ye.
Snake Fang never thought that someone could control the entire jungle by himself.
The area that the engineering team entered does not seem to be a hidden forest, but the stomach of a wild beast. This is especially obvious when laying a railway. The vines formed an endless network above the roadbed, and the steel rails were wrapped and dragged forward, and then fell to the ground when they reached the designated place, just like the fruit on the vines. Wherever the railway is repaired, the trees on both sides will separate to where they go, even saving the time of felling. At the same time, the surrounding tree canopy will grow particularly dense, covering the entire sky, so as not to attract the attention of the devil.
In addition, the forest can also take the initiative to attack those beasts that are close to the engineering team. If they can get a bowl of fresh broth one day, then some blind beast must have broken into Lord Ye Ye's territory.
Snake Ya had the honor to witness the other side, but he was not sure whether Lord Ye Ye was still a human being. She had a strange green color all over her body and looked like a gem from a distance. And it acts as if there is no entity, and can walk freely among the branches.
If it was him before, he would have been scared and screamed out loud. This kind of ghostly deeds and incredible appearance, it is not surprising to be slandered as a devil's minion. The only thought in his mind at that time was: Fortunately, white paper is not so.
However, Snake Teeth did not dislike the other party at all, and even felt sincere respect. Because His Majesty once said at the award ceremony that the reason why he can make everyone in Neverwinter have a full meal is because of the help of Witch Leaf. Everyone who is freed from hunger and hardship is a beneficiary of her ability, and for this feat alone, Ye Ye should be remembered forever.
Snake tooth is naturally one of the beneficiaries.
In addition to the witch, another discovery is probably his personal secret.
That was after the First Army entered the Hidden Forest.
Since the devil attacked Neverwinter, the call for a counterattack has intensified. Even in the wilderness, the workers are still discussing this issue. He is not surprised that this day has come.
Every day, a large number of soldiers go to the front line, and it is obvious that His Majesty the King intends to make a real move. Unlike the knights he had seen before, most of the soldiers on the expedition were acquaintances from the neighborhood, either this or that. Therefore, whenever an army passed by, the workers would always welcome them, and the scene was very lively. I thought it would be a cold and dangerous chore to build a railway away from the border, but I didn't expect it to be like that at all.
Snake Teeth's accumulation in this area is much worse, so instead of crowding in to join in the fun, he prefers to watch the train alone, and even climb up and touch it when the train stops.
But what happened to him two weeks ago was horrific.
It was a locomotive with six carriages towing, and it stopped at the section he was in charge of building, which was the end of the newly repaired railway. There are two huge objects stacked on the topless flatbed truck. The length of one is more than 20 meters. It is covered with a layer of canvas, and it is impossible to see what it is.
This was originally normal. If the delivered goods had nothing to do with the engineering team, then they must be military supplies, and he had no plans to find out. But that day, Snake Ya had a stomach upset, ran out of the tent in the middle of the night, and wanted to find a place to release, but was shocked to see the canvas wriggling!
After several warriors who were obviously dressed differently from the soldiers of the First Army unfastened the ropes that fixed the canvas, a sturdy soft-bodied monster climbed out of it! However, what was even more astonishing was still behind, that monster actually spit out human words, and the voice was quite pleasant! The first sentence is "I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?"
At that moment, Snake Teeth felt the chills behind his back, and he almost made up the warrior's gloomy answer: "Ah, yes. The workers in this camp are all food, eat as much as you like."
But that didn't happen, and the samurai hugged it affectionately, and from the last carriage brought ham, vegetables, and bread...all in one-man-high wooden barrels. The two worms devoured their food and disappeared into the depths of the forest with the samurai.
Snake Fang didn't even dare to breathe, and hid behind the tree until the footsteps disappeared. When he confirmed that the other party had left, his pants were soaked...
Within two days, there was a strange station next to the track. The cement and masonry made an arch-like building with a bottomless hole. Although the workers came in and out, no one knew it was connected. to where. There are also several steam engines set up on both sides of the cave, blowing air into it continuously, which is weird no matter how you look at it.
He also kept it firmly in his heart.
She Ya thought that he would be afraid and would want to quit the railway engineering team, but after the event, his mentality recovered faster than he imagined. This is called an exciting life! This is the true face of Neverwinter!
When he said goodbye to his partner and first arrived in the forest, he always felt like a duckweed with no roots, especially when his co-workers happily shared a letter from his family with him. But gradually, he was attracted by all kinds of novel events, such as the perfectly connected smooth track, the beautiful singing of the forest, the giant sand wolf that was elusive but not attacked by Lord Ye, and always came here on certain days to pray man wait...
This made him feel that he was getting a little closer to the unknown side of Neverwinter City, and was also a little bit integrated with the city.
Sheya wants to keep all these in his heart, waiting to tell his friends that there is no more proof that he is an old city citizen than knowing a city, even if he does not have so many familiar neighbors, no one can deny this. point.
The non-disclosure agreement is only for five years.
He looked forward to that day.
