Chapter 26 New Crisis
Zhao Hai and Mu Mu stood by the lake. Merlin stood beside them and recited a spell in a low voice. After a while, a layer of aqua-blue transparent shield appeared on their bodies. Around them, a wave emerged from the lake. Just when Zhao Hai was stunned, the wave swept the three of them into the lake.
But Zhao Hai discovered that the three of them were now standing in a water-blue transparent ball, and the lake water had been holding their transparent ball like a fountain, and kept moving forward. .
This is the second time that Zhao Hai has experienced the magic of magic. The first time, Merlin only used a simple lighting technique and a simple water polo technique, but even then, the first Zhao Hai felt very miraculous when he saw magic for the first time, and this time it was even more miraculous than the last time. They were actually walking on the waves, and they were one person with two people, which was better than "floating on water" and "floating on water" in Chinese martial arts. "Crossing the river with a reed" is even better.
Compared to Zhao Hai, who is half a foreigner, his appearance and performance are much more impressive. He has long known the magic of magic, not to mention that Merlin is also an eighth-level water magician. , fighting with such a magician in the water is everyone's nightmare, because that is their home field.
Merlin also had a relaxed look on her face. She was very confident in her abilities. On the water, she believed that she was invincible. So when she said that there might be water monsters in the water, she didn't show any worry at all. Because she believed in herself, she could easily kill even a water-type monster.
Using magic to move on the water is very fast. It took them more than three hours when they came here, but when they went back, they only took about half an hour to see what was ahead of them. A cave entrance, and fortunately, this cave entrance is the one behind the castle. This also proves that this lake can indeed be used as a sky-colored waterway, allowing them to secretly transport people to the canyon.
When Merlin removed the magic and Zhao Hai finally got his feet on the ground, he still couldn't help but jump a little. This feeling of being on the ground was really good.
While walking on the water, although he looked very cool, Zhao Hai always felt like he was about to fall, which made him very uncomfortable.
When the three people came out of the cave, they happened to see the slaves working outside. It was not yet noon, they had not rested yet, and there were a lot of places to clean in the cave. , and there are many slaves doing carpentry in the cave.
If this cave is to be converted into a place to raise blue-eyed rabbits, a lot of fences will be needed. These things must be made of wood. After all, Zhao Hai and the others don't have so many iron tools now.
This time, considering the situation in the castle, Green and the others also bought some wood, but not very much. Most of what Green and the others bought were finished products, because Green knew that those slaves Among them, even if there are some who can do carpentry work, it is impossible to make something too complicated, because good craftsman slaves are not the same price as these ordinary slaves.
The appearance of the three people surprised the slaves, and they immediately saluted the three of them. The three of them just nodded and left the cave.
Meg and Shitou were standing there outside the cave. When they saw the three people coming out, they were also surprised. Meg quickly went up to them and said: "Master, grandma, how did you get out of the cave?" Is it out?”
Mei Lin smiled and said: "Go all the way from the lake in the cave to a canyon. That is the most suitable place for farming that we have selected. The young master has just improved ten acres of land there, so we will come back ”
Meg's eyes lit up and she said: "Really? That's great. I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Grandma, Master, you can go back to the castle and have a rest. I'll be here to watch over you."
Merlin turned to Zhao Hai and said: "Master, go back to the castle and have a rest. I have something to tell you."
Zhao Hai was stunned, wondering what else Merlin had to do, but seeing Merlin's solemn look, he did not dare to neglect, and immediately nodded and said: "Okay, let's go back to the castle first, Mu Mu, you Please stay and help Meg and Shitou." Mumu responded and Zhao Hai and Merlin walked towards the castle.
After the two of them arrived in the living room of the castle, Zhao Hai looked at Merlin in confusion and said, "Grandma Merlin, what's the matter that you can't talk about outside?"
Merlin nodded to him. Zhao Hai said: "Master, when I came back today, I was at the lake I casually checked the situation in the lake, but I didn't find any powerful water magic. There are only two explanations for this situation. One, the water magic beast is very powerful and very good at hiding its whereabouts, so I can't find it. , but this situation is almost impossible Yes, I am an eighth-level water magician, and I am confident that nothing in the water can escape my detection. The second situation is that there are no powerful monsters in the water, and there are no fish in the water. There is another reason." Zhao Hai was stunned, but he immediately responded. Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Shanzhong Lake is one of his important plans for the future development of the fiefdom. If there is really no way to raise fish there, then he will lose an important source of funds, and such a large lake cannot be used. This is such a waste.
Zhao Hai said with a serious face: "Can you find out the specific reason?"
Merlin also said with a serious face: "I have heard a rumor, I don't know if it is true or not. It has something to do with the situation in the lake. I heard that the Black Soil Wasteland is too far away from the Carrion Swamp. Because of the recent situation, there will often be a coalition of undead creatures and poisonous monsters running to the Black Earth Wasteland. They will kill all the living creatures in the Black Earth Wasteland, so the Black Earth Wasteland has become a dead land, but Because no one here in the black soil wasteland knew how to do it before Come, so this news has never been confirmed. If this news is true, then the reason why there are no fish in the lake may be because of this."
Zhao Hai's expression changed, if it really looks like Merlin. As said, the trouble will be big. They are Among these people, except for Merlin, Merlin, Green, Wood, and Stone, who have some fighting ability, the others are slaves without fighting ability. If the undead creatures and poisonous monsters in the Carrion Swamp really come, If we attack them, they will be dead.
Zhao Hai lowered his head and kept rubbing his forehead with his hands. This was also a habitual action in his previous life when he was thinking about things.
Merlin looked at Zhao Hai and was very worried. If that happened, all their plant cultivation would have to stop. It was hard to say whether they could survive.
Zhao Hai couldn't think of any good solution now, so he could only say: "If this matter is true, then we will be in big trouble. Grandma Merlin, this matter should wait until Grandpa Green comes back. , let's discuss it and decide. I think this is it. Starting from tomorrow, let's not clean the mines. We will gather all the materials in our hands, make some simple weapon handles, and then Those slaves will be trained and the castle will be repaired. If that happens, we can at least rely on the castle to resist for a while. If it doesn't work, I can only bring everyone into my space. Let’s go and let everyone take shelter in the space. After the undead creatures and monsters retreat, we can come out.”
Merlin frowned and thought. After thinking about it, I really couldn't think of any good solution, so I nodded and said: "It seems that this is the only way it can be now. We have been in the Black Soil Wasteland for such a long time, and we haven't seen anything strange in the Carrion Swamp. There should be no problem. I hope my worry is unnecessary."
Zhao Hai shook his head and said: "Whether it is unnecessary worry or not, this matter must be done to nip it in the bud. The last wealth of our Buda family is here. If all is lost, then our Buda family will have no hope of turning around."
Merlin nodded and said: "Okay, then. I will make arrangements right away, but we don’t bring many weapons this time, and most of the materials are daily necessities, which cannot be made into weapons. What should we do?”
Zhao Hai doesn't have any good ideas now. If his farm level is high enough, he can plant some trees to use as weapons, but his current level is too low and he can't plant trees at all. He can't let people hold a tree. Use a corn stalk to fight those undead creatures.
Zhao Hai rubbed his forehead vigorously. His forehead had been rubbed a large area red, but he still couldn't think of any good solution. Suddenly, he noticed the stone ground and had a bold idea. appeared in his mind, he raised his head and said to Merlin: "Grandma Merlin, let me see it this way. Tomorrow we will organize people to collect some stones and come back. We can make some stone weapons. Although these weapons are not very lethal, , but we only want to use it to defend the city, so it should be possible "Yi Yong, what do you think?"
Merlin thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, we don't have that many supplies in our hands now. When we came out of the imperial capital, they didn't let us at all. Bringing weapons is all that can be done now. When Green comes back, let him purchase a batch of weapons as soon as possible."
Zhao Hai nodded helplessly. He never expected that he would have it. One day they went back to the Stone Age, and they had to face it again.
Zhao Hai has figured it out now. It seems that the old men in the imperial capital really don’t want to give them a way to survive. Otherwise, they would not let them come to the black soil wasteland without bringing weapons. In a place like this, he didn't believe that the big men in the imperial capital hadn't heard of the rumors here in the Black Soil Wasteland.
Now they have to face not only the crisis of starvation, but also the possibility of being killed by undead creatures and poisonous monsters.
