Chapter 238 238. It’s hard to build roads, then build ships
The flood that swept the world completely disappeared after half an hour, as if it had never existed. The only evidence of its existence is what was left. Those mist.
The gray mist blocked the sun and shrouded the desert. It was obviously daytime but the sky was not visible. It looked even scarier than at night.
The gray desert at this moment has some similarities with the gray desert simulated by Croya.
Nilande finally removed the shield of the scepter at this moment, and very cautiously told a few people: "Don't enter the desert during the day, otherwise you will definitely die!"
< br>Her tone was so solemn, and coupled with the same ghost-like wind blowing back and forth in the desert, the apprentices on Hanjiao Island nodded heartily.
The worst thing is sleeping during the day and working at night.
Anyway, we are already extraordinary beings, so it is actually easy to accept the inversion of day and night. Anyway, everything must be done with safety first.
The apprentices immediately disassembled the equipment they were responsible for and returned to the city.
At the end, Jamie looked at the already gray desert and then looked at the city, and the thoughts in his mind became stronger and stronger.
He felt that this place was no longer suitable for building ordinary bridges and passages. Even if they were really built, they would definitely be washed away by such a terrible flood. The only way was to use the flood.
As for the method of using floods, he has already told his companions that they will start trying it after they return.
Now that Jamie is a leader, he does not need to do many things himself. He also knows that he needs to bring out more civil magicians who can stand alone.
So, he planned to take a walk after entering the city.
Nilante is still following them. It seems that her mission is to entertain these guests from afar, both to protect and to monitor.
The city is much more lively during the day.
People gathered bustlingly in the streets and markets, carelessly placing things on the ground and shouting to sell them——
"Gray sand roots! Five gray sand roots !”
“Fresh sand ray meat!”
“Only one kilogram of flour from the Mother Earth Church”
At this moment, the city has the meaning of a city - the outside world is surrounded by gray mist and boundless sand and dust, and only here can people live a stable life.
“You all go back first, I’ll take a look here.”
Jamie still remembered what Croya said, so he simply asked others to go back and see if the shop was repaired. He himself started wandering around here.
Nilante did not leave with the others, but followed him closely, as if he was more important.
In this regard, Jamie didn’t say anything.
He walked in front of the stall without saying a word.
After observing, almost all the people here were naked from the waist up, wearing headscarves on their heads, and the various items placed on the streets made him feel very novel.
There are triangular stone sculptures, colorful oil paintings, and snake charmers who are playing flutes and controlling snakes.
But most of the stalls sell food.
Whether it is food obtained in the desert or food shipped from outside, it is hard currency here.
The method of transaction is basically bartering. As far as the current situation in Gray Desert is concerned, although gold coins and magic crystals are also useful, they are really limited.
And...slaves.
Jamie looked at the people not far away who were locked in wooden cages and had almost no clothes on.
Whenever someone wants to buy, the slave owner will pull the slave out with a smile on his face. Then, just like inspecting an animal, he opened his lips to check his teeth, carefully inspected his body, and even laughed unabashedly when he saw some places.
Looking at these, Jamie felt very calm.
Of course there is also slave trade in the north. In many cases, the population is a common currency, which is of course limited to the young and middle-aged population.
Many of his partners and new apprentices are actually the kind of teenagers who no one even buys. Although they are only one word different, the gap between them and adults is huge.
Looking at the slaves, he suddenly remembered that Mr. Miffin had called him over to chat for a while before coming out.
The former bishop of the Mother Earth Church and the prince of the Kingdom of Norland told him: "The Gray Desert is the most remote area of the kingdom, and it is also the most representative microcosm of most areas in the world.< br>
Write down exactly what you see and tell it to your teacher.”
Miffin's expression was extremely serious when he said these words.
At that time, he still didn't understand what Miffy's words meant, but now he suddenly understood - didn't this mean that he was praising his teacher in disguise?
Being able to abolish slavery in his own territory...
Jamie took a deep breath, and it was not until this moment that he knew what kind of difficult decision Croya had made.
That’s a lot of money!
“Why do you keep looking at slaves?”
Nilante didn’t speak out until now: “Do you want to buy a slave? If you want to buy a slave, I can make the decision to give it to you. You're a group."
"Foreigners." The woman's face said with a joke, "Don't feel sorry for them. If they are bought, they may have a chance to survive.
As long as they are bought. What is unacceptable if you can live? Even if you are as sad as dust, you are still alive."
Jamie did not answer, but smiled like Croya: " Do you have any specialties here? I want to buy some and take them back as gifts for the teacher.”
Nilande glanced at him, grabbed his hand, and pulled him to a small street.
There are all kinds of Warcraft on both sides of this street. It is obvious that Nilande also knows what this friend from Hanjiao Island wants to buy.
As she walked, she pointed to the stall next to her and introduced:
"Here, this is a jackal. An adult jackal is the best companion in the desert."
"This is a sand ray. It only takes one year to grow enough for two or three people to stand on it and fly close to the ground in the sand."
"This, look at this, is the desert fire spirit. , is one of the only remaining elemental creatures..."
With such a guide who is familiar with the gray desert, she can basically tell the things sold on the roadside, and she can also evaluate the quality. Good or bad.
The stall owners looked at the golden balance on her chest and dared not speak out in anger.
Just like that, Jamie unceremoniously bought a batch of all the unseen monsters on Hanjiao Island, and the gold coins were splashed out.
Although Croya had these people running around, the subsidies were not substantial at all, even much more than the resources distributed by the big forces.
So there are really a lot of gold coin magic crystals on his body.
Arrived at the back, the stall owners seemed to know that a rich man was coming, and they didn’t care about Nilande’s comments. They took out their most lively monsters as soon as they came up.
I was just shopping and walking all the way. If Nilant hadn't called someone in time to send all these monsters to the monster plant war pet store, they would probably be too big to fit in.
At the deepest part of the alley, Jamie originally wanted to stop buying, but suddenly he saw a small stall displaying magic plants.
That is a... light blue water lily.
It floats quietly in the pure water filled by the stall owner in a jar, delicate and elegant, and has a peaceful beauty.
Jamie was instantly attracted to this water lily. He knew that his teacher had been raising water lilies recently. If he could take this water lily back as a gift, his teacher would be very happy.
Thinking of this, he looked at the stall owner.
The stall owner closed his eyes and meditated behind the stall. His red hair was as dazzling as flames, but his whole body had a very decadent temperament. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.
“Are you crazy?”
Nilande saw the water lily and was shocked: "Agathe, that's a blue water lily, do you really want to sell it?"
Obviously she knew the stall owner.
“You care so much?” Agathe opened his eyes and glanced at Nilande. Only then did Jamie realize that the tall red-haired man’s left eye was actually gray and lifeless. of.
But the power emanating from him seems to be that of at least a fourth to fifth level warrior. That kind of vast blood energy can only be possessed by warriors. You must know that this is a world of magic and divine arts. Even severed limbs can be regrown. For advanced extraordinary beings, physical damage is nothing.
Having been choked like this, Nilande was immediately speechless and could only shake her head helplessly.
Jamie then stepped forward and asked: "How do you sell this water lily?"
Agathe glanced at him and said: "You are from outside, right? Are you able to sell this water lily?" Is there a way to leave the city during the day? "
"Yes." Jamie said directly: "We are here to accomplish this goal. If you want, you can give it a try first."
Hearing this, Agathe's pupils shrank immediately. Without saying a word, he thrust the jar to Jamie and said neatly: "Go now?"
"Okay."
Jamie immediately took Agathe back to the already set-up Warcraft Plant Battle Pet Shop. He took him into the operation room at the back and started to get busy mysteriously. .
This busy time lasted for ten days.
During this period, apprentices would come in from time to time and take in all the data and the cultivated Evil Sea Purple Demon Ping.
When he and Agathe came out, they already had some space magic bags containing magic plants.
Both of them looked very excited.
Especially Jamie, he couldn’t wait to say:
“Let’s go, let’s try it.”
“Let’s go!”
Ah Gat was even more excited than him. Seeing him walking slowly, he hugged him and rushed out of the store. The speed and endurance of a warrior burst out at this moment.
Just listen to a "swish" sound.
There was only dust floating in the air.
......
The two of them went directly to the city gate in broad daylight, and then Jamie took the lead and built a weird boat within a safe area on the spot.
No, it is not so much a boat as it is a mobile house built on the purple devil's apple in the evil sea——
The bottom of this weird houseboat grows flat. The evil sea purple magic duckweed, their roots are firmly rooted into the earth, ensuring that the snail shell-like house above will not shake casually.
The house above is made of floating moon alloy, which is a very common structure of a log cabin. There are also some inconspicuous magic plants growing on the surface, like dandelions, densely packed. Wrap the entire house.
From a distance, it looks like a house elf wrapped in fluff.
The vitality and vitality of magic plants bring a soft color to this cold-looking house.
After building this weird house, Jamie climbed up directly along the vines and waved to Agathe:
"Let's try it. The flood should be coming soon."
Agathe was actually a little resistant when he saw the finished product. He thought it would be some kind of sophisticated magical creation, but it turned out to be something like this It looks like a little house from a fairy tale.
He really didn’t understand why it was like this, but Jamie’s confident look reduced his doubts a lot.
The red-haired strong man could only walk into the house wrapped in dandelions and sit on the sofa behind the clean and bright windows.
This house looks small from the outside, but in fact it is not very small. It covers an area of more than 100 square meters from top to bottom. The interior is fully decorated - dining table, sofa, and bench. , bookcases, even toilets and shower rooms are all available.
The two of them sat in such a neat house and waited quietly. Jamie occasionally glanced at the magic reading meter displayed in the corner.
Although they cannot prevent the flood from coming, every time the flood comes, the magic index will change, which can be regarded as a way of prediction.
At this time, the magic reading pointer was shaking wildly, gradually changing from safe green to dazzling red.
This means...
"The flood is coming!" Agathe immediately saw the raging flood in the distance from the window, and held the hand tightly. arms.
In the face of such a natural disaster, even a fifth-level warrior like him had no choice at all. All he could do was hope that this strange ship that took a month to build would be effective.
In the distance, overwhelming floods hit.
"Crash la la la -"
When the flood came, the boat was unexpectedly stable - the flood hit the dandelions on the surface of the house, and was unloaded by these dandelions. Most of the strength was lost, so the impact on the house itself was not great.
The two people sitting inside the house had serious expressions. The life-sustaining magic patterns carved inside the house had been activated, automatically purifying and filtering the air, and turning on warm orange lights.
In the dark flood, the comfort that this light can bring is indescribable. The two of them looked at the turbid flood outside the window, feeling really worried in their hearts.
At this time, the evil sea purple devils that had taken deep roots at the bottom of the house took advantage of this breathing time to quickly adapt to the impact of the flood, and slowly removed their roots from the sand. Pull it out.
After all the roots were pulled out, the impact of the first wave of the flood had almost completely disappeared, leaving only the strength of the huge water flow itself.
The Evil Sea Purple Demon Ping carried the house and slowly floated towards the top of the flood. The roots that originally seemed a little tiny were all entangled together, like weights.
Each of them tightly grasped the surrounding water magic power, and unexpectedly stabilized themselves.
In this way, the house will not float around, but will float straight towards the water surface, and soon leave the depths of the flood and reach the surface of the water.
The flood at this time was already hundreds of meters high. Naturally, it had left the scope of the gray fog below, and the warm rays of the sun shone in.
The two people sitting in the house were relieved at this time.
Especially Jamie, who casually pulled out a crystal screen and muttered: "The impact of the fluttering dandelions can be tolerated...the corrosiveness of the floods here...the continuity of the life-support array inside the house. Time..."
While recording this rare first-hand information, he ordered Agathe: "Go and pull the lever on the left!"
Dignified level five! Agathe, a warrior, was treated generously even if he was placed in the royal family. Without saying anything, he hurriedly pulled the lever on the wall.
“Click!”
As the lever was pulled down, the roots of the Evil Sea Purple Poem at the bottom of the house were impacted by special magic power and began to consciously move in a certain direction. agitation.
The roots entangled and stirred in the water, and soon formed a small vortex, and the magic inside merged with the magic of the surrounding flood.
The dandelions growing on the surface of the house absorb water and become more fluffy. They absorb the hot wind that comes with the flood, and the flowers on the surface rotate like a fan.
The water flow began to push the small house in the flood toward the distance.
It miraculously walked in a straight line in the flood, without being affected by the impact of the chaotic water flow at all. The speed was neither fast nor slow, but it was about 10kn per hour.
The map inside the house shows that the ship is leaving Gray Sand City at this time, heading to the gathering point closest to Gray Sand City, which is the area where Lord Gray Sand said they would open a road.
Sitting inside the house, there is steaming milk tea and snacks in front of me, and the bright sunshine outside is not swaying at all.
It seems like this is a very ordinary journey. You just need to sit here and wait, and you will reach your destination after a while.
Agathe stared blankly at the scenery outside the window. Although all he could see was the golden and black brilliance brought by the golden sunlight shining on the dark flood, he still found it incredible.
Surprisingly... there are ships that can sail safely in the flood.
Won't it corrode?
You must know that no one has tried boats, but the magic in the flood is extremely terrifying, and ordinary boats cannot withstand the corrosiveness of the flood.
He realized almost immediately that if this weird and magical house boat could be produced in large quantities, then floods would really no longer be an obstacle!
It may even become a source of motivation for them to travel everywhere.
The soldier looked outside in silence.
About an hour later, this magical ship had stopped at the first gathering point ten kilometers away from Gray Sand City.
You can see the shield that is still standing strong in the flood, and you can see the city in the flood from a high position.
They are here!
Thank you all for your monthly votes and recommended votes~ September is coming soon, I wish everyone a happy new month~
