The Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 79: Letter from Veruga

Views:

The system cannot go wrong.

Following the light blue line, we soon came to a place with a relatively flat sand layer.

Kant tightened the reins, his face became paler and paler due to the cold, but his eyes looking at the ground in front of him were a bit fiery: "This is it."

The light blue line indicates that the extension will stop just ahead.

This of course shows that the underground lake suggested by the system is hidden under the vast sand layer.

"Build a well."

Kant's thinking connects to the system in the mind.

But this time the system did not refuse, but simply popped up a dialog box.

[Ding... system prompt]

[Water well is being built, it costs 100 dinars and takes 7 days.]

[Because multiple buildings are built at the same time, an additional 100 dinars will be paid.]

The clattering sound of metal coins colliding appeared, and Kant lost another 200 dinars in his mind.

On the flat sand layer, Kant recalled the location where the well was built, and lime powder appeared in the void for no reason, as if someone had sprinkled lines, outlining a half-meter circle for no reason.

Kant's face was calm. Of course he knew that this half-meter circle would become a well in seven days.

But he felt a little more at ease.

Originally, Kant was also worried that if he built a post station and installed a well here, some troops from the Lion Principality would come here with ulterior motives and use the water source here to invade the sentry oasis.

Looking at the scale of the well now, it is much smaller than that of the Wolf Man tribe.

With a diameter of half a meter, it is estimated that it cannot sustain the drinking of too many people, so it can only be used as a resting place during the trek.

Even if there is an invasion by enemy troops, as long as the well is blocked with stone slabs or stones, it can be destroyed here. After all, if you want to dig this well in the desert again, the biggest possibility is that the stones that make up the well will collapse. Causing the subsidence of the surrounding sand layer, the water well is completely buried in the countless sand particles, and it is impossible to dig it.

The sand layer is not a soil layer, it is fluid and almost impossible to dig.

Kant nodded secretly, and at the same time, his mind connected to a certain card in his mind, and he said silently: "Build a station."

This is the extracted building.

In the game, the role of [Stay] is to quickly notify players to return to aid as soon as possible when the enemy arrives and plans to loot the village. It can be said to be very useful with the [Watch Tower] that can delay the looting time.

Now in the real world, [Station] also has the function of detection and notification.

Data flow sprawl.

A 2-story building appeared next to the water well. It is a structure composed of stone and wood. It is a standard Swadian architectural style, durable, and has a balcony on the roof to observe the surrounding situation.

"I can sleep in it tonight."

Kant looked at the 300-square-meter building with a smile on his lips.

The night in the Nalun Desert is cold, and only a thin linen tent can't cover the bone-chilling chill.

"Great." Manid also nodded tremblingly, and subconsciously wrapped his clothes tightly. As a young businessman, although his goods were robbed by robbers and he was exiled in the mainland of Calradia, with his eloquence Life is not bad, but I have never had such a difficult military life.

At this time, the post station appeared. It was really a warm paradise in the purgatory-like desert.

Not only him, but also the soldiers behind him felt the same way.

"Tie up the horses and remember to feed some water."

Kant stretched out his hand and said: "After all the busy work, we can warm up by the fire and have a good rest in the room inside."

"Long live!" The soldiers from Salander cheered.

After unloading their packages, five Sarande riders went in with elite scimitars to check. After confirming that there was no problem, they found the straw and firewood in the post station, took out the flint in their arms and struck it several times to burst out sparks. A bonfire was lit in the fireplace.

The hard-won warmth immediately appeared in the room with the rising firelight.

Several pine oil torches were also lit, stuck in several recesses of the room.

This is the light used for lighting. The grooves are distributed reasonably. With the torch inserted in it, it just makes the whole hall bright.

The 10 desert robbers tied up everyone's horses, poured fresh water into the feeding trough, and let the horses supplement their food. They also walked into the post station rubbing their hands and exhaling the cold air. The choking smoke was a bit loud, but they all showed relaxed expressions.

"Manid, drink some hot water."

Kant also brought a water bag that was heated by the stove, and handed it to Manid, who was slumped on a chair with his legs spread apart, and said with a smile: "It seems that you have never experienced such a life before."

"Indeed." Manid smiled bitterly: "It's really too difficult."

After receiving the water bag, the warmth spread out in his hands. Manid put away his separated legs to make himself more polite, but the pain on the inside of his legs made him frowned, and shook his head helplessly: "I will do it in the future." familiar."

"It will get better in the future."

Kant shrugged, turned his head to look out the window, but frowned slightly.

He seemed to hear footsteps.

And right next to the stove, those desert robbers who put down their packages and saluted, reacted even more violently. They reached out and pulled out the scimitars at their waists, pointing the bright blades at the door, with serious expressions on their faces.

"who?"

The five riders wearing Sarande chain armor and Sarande helmets also drew elite scimitars.

Their equipment is equivalent to that of heavy infantry, so they are not afraid. They raised their shields in front of them with their left hands, winked at each other, and walked towards the door, angrily saying: "We heard your footsteps, don't be sneaky!" Yes, come out!"

"Respect, respected Lord Salander, don't, don't be impulsive, you are one of your own!"

Outside the door, a trembling voice sounded.

It sounded like the owner of the voice was terrified, and he stumbled and said, "We, we are the construction team from Veruga. We have received a mission to come here to build, to build wells!"

"Huh?" Kant was slightly stunned, and turned his head to look at Manid.

The faces of the desert bandits who had drawn their scimitars also changed from grim to calm.

However, the five Salander riders at the door walked towards the door quickly, carefully holding shields in front of them. When he saw 10 men wearing linen robes, carrying tools, and a carriage full of materials, His face relaxed.

He turned his head and reported to Kang Dehui: "My lord, it's Veruga's construction team."

"Let them in."

Kant waved his hand and understood that these were the construction workers systematically arranged to repair the well.

But the reason why he was dazed was because he didn't expect that these construction workers came from Veruga, not the construction workers of Su Nuo that Kant had seen before.

Veruga is the city of the Rhodok Kingdom, and Suno is the city of the Swadia Kingdom.

The distance between the two is far.

"Choose the construction workers in the city at random?" Kant also nodded thoughtfully.

Outside, the workers come in.

The clothes he wore were no different from those of Su Nuo's construction workers before, except that his accent had changed slightly, with a bit of sharpness and euphemism from the Rhodok Mountains, but he could still understand it.

"Nice to meet you, my lord."

The leader of the construction team saluted respectfully.

"Yeah." Kant smiled: "I came here from Veruga to build a well, I hope I didn't trouble you."

"No, no, this is our glory."

The construction team leader hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Being able to serve you, the great Lord Kant, this is the honor we can talk about in our lifetime, and we will definitely build your well seriously."

"That's really great." Kant nodded with a smile.

The Rhodoks come from a mountainous area with a complex environment, but their personalities are quite simple, and their compliments are somewhat sincere.

Having nothing to do here, Kant also had a few words with him.

And the construction team leader also saw Manid next to Kant, and couldn't help being slightly stunned: "Ah, it's Lord Manid."

"You know me?" Manid asked curiously.

The building leader said: "Of course, you have been to Veruga, and all the girls in Veruga are talking about your handsomeness."

Kant next to him smiled and shook his head.

Manid can be called the No. 1 handsome guy in Qiqiu. He has good looks and a powerful family background. Although he is in trouble, he may take off again at some point, and he is definitely welcomed by girls.

Manid also turned his head in embarrassment at this: "Really... I always thought Veruga was very enthusiastic."

But the building leader suddenly thought of something.

He took out a letter in his arms, handed it to Kant and put it on the table, and said respectfully: "Lord Kant, Fatis' father knew that his son Fatis was working under you through the construction workers, so he entrusted I, who came here, will give you this letter from home, and I hope you can pass it on to Knight Fatis."
