The blowing wind continued to rise upwards along the straight outline along with the obstruction of the earth wall, carrying some of the falling earth debris to places that could not be seen. The wind and the wall were rubbing against each other and circling.
At this time, Xiang was also blocked from the camp by this seemingly extremely strong physical barrier. At the same time, the sounds surrounding Duan Qing became much quieter: "This, this seems to be..."
"It seems to be the same stone."
He cautiously stretched out his fingers. Duan Qing, who was originally resisting the dragging action, now widened his eyes at the bright stones exposed between the rising mounds of soil: "Material
It’s almost the same as energy fluctuations, but at most it’s not as active as the stones we got…”
"Although I think it's unlikely, I still want to ask you a question first to be on the safe side." Xue Ling Huan Bing, who ran over with him, asked in a low voice: "You shouldn't have been lazy and put this stone up.
Bar?"
"Of course, this point is not within the construction range of my magic circle at all." Shaking his head in denial, Duan Qing also moved his eyes away from the surface of the stone that exuded light green energy: "And with my many years of experience
From a professional perspective, the quality of the stones we obtained may not be as high as the stone in front of us."
"That is to say - these stones that we have been searching for for a long time and even almost had a conflict with others are actually everywhere?"
Blinking his eyes, Xue Ling Huan Bing whispered this fact that made it difficult for Duan Qing to swallow: "Then why did we work hard for a long time?"
"Stop talking, I feel that the ring-shaped earth wall that Fulla created for us may be better at blocking the wind than the Wind Stone." Duan Qing pinched his brow tiredly, and gasped hard.
He took a breath and said, "These nomads have been living here for thousands of years. They don't continue to use the wind stone because they like to do it. There must be various reasons for this."
"Perhaps it is to protect this grassland?" Xue Ling Huanbing pondered and expressed one of his speculations: "Most nomadic peoples make a living on pasture. If the grassland is destroyed due to large-scale civil engineering, they will
I probably won’t be able to pass this hurdle myself.”
"Another possibility is that they need to move. After all, you can't stay in one place for grazing." Examining the stone in front of him, Duan Qing replied without looking back: "If you keep moving your settlement,
, there is no need for fixed construction methods, so the changes that may occur due to changes in the terrain are all excluded from their options."
"But none of this can be a reason for them not to excavate this kind of stone, as long as it is as scarce as those people described before." Duan Qing seemed to have completed the inspection, reaching out to pick up the piece of stone embedded in the surface of the earth wall.
The stone was taken down: "Of course, this may be just a coincidence. After all, even those guys who pick up shells by the river can pick out gold from under the sand... Hmm."
"It seems that this is indeed just an accidental phenomenon." He looked around here, and the magic induction that continuously swept across the surface of the earth wall also ended in vain after a period of silence: "Only this area nearby is emitting fluctuations.
The miracle that Fulla performed has not been repeated."
"If there is a shallow layer of soil, it is possible that it was thrown here by others." Xue Ling Huan Bing also relaxed his emotions: "But it is impossible to throw away such a good-looking stone casually, no matter how you think about it.
Woolen cloth."
"Hey! You two!"
Before Duan Qing could say his answer, the distant voices of Asahi Dongsheng and Gedman came from the other side of the camp where they were digging for something: "Are you also lazy? Lazy people are lazy.
Are we together?"
"This is called field investigation! You know nothing!" Duan Qing raised his voice and gave a perfunctory reply: "And isn't it just to repair the station?"
"I will arrange the fortifications together, and you can just repair your own part!"
Duan Qing, who secretly winked at Xue Ling Huan Bing and hid the wind stone with his backhand, then tore his words to the other end of the camp. The scene that seemed to be nothing happened was followed by this little one.
The end of the interlude gradually spread around the slopes of the camp. He used his own understanding to gradually construct the magic array. Duan Qing, holding the design drawings in his hands, then started the construction work around the camp, filled with
The magic circuit with a touch of magic power and the formation made of wind stone followed the movement and command of the gray-robed magician, and gradually unfolded in the corner of the camp where the sound of dust was constantly rising: "This is it, bury it here.
a rock."
"Sprinkle the powder I ground earlier into this place and connect it to the place I sprinkled before - don't worry, these powders will change the properties of the soil and guide the energy of the elements to this place."
"I know that the blank house you built will take up this place, but who told you that the double-loop circuit must be laid flat on the ground? After your wall is erected, I will be responsible for drawing the other loop on the outer wall
It just so happens that it can serve as a little bit of a warning."
"Will it be blocked by rain or something? Well, it's hard for me to answer your question. After all, these designs and the magic materials I use are all things I figured out myself. The effects and so on also all depend on it.
Practical - what? You're going to dig this place into a drainage ditch? Forget it."
There is only one member in the team who studies magic and the ability to use magic. The members from the Qingling Adventure Group finally obeyed Duan Qing's instructions amidst the stumbling and arguing. They found the circle left by Fula.
It took a long time to renovate the earthen wall inside and outside, and finally before sunset, the magic circle described by Duan Qing on the paper was completely reproduced on the walls around the camp. A faint fluorescence gradually appeared with the connection of the last magic line, and
The brilliant starry sky that appeared again on the night of February 25th reflected each other, and the gradually increasing grassland wind began to rise around this small team as night fell, and then was carved with lines.
The light green traces and the vaguely mysterious brilliance of the earthen wall were swallowed up to the invisible place: "... Huh, it looks like the effect is not bad."
"Really? But I always feel a little unreliable."
Standing directly on top of the earth wall with Duan Qing, Goldman took a short break and patted the seemingly heavy and solid wall: "I have never seen any earth and stone buildings that can survive this persistent strong wind.
If we survive, even if we can hold on for a while, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold off for a long time."
"Anyway, this is just a temporary camp, and we won't stay here for long." Looking back at Chao Ri Dongsheng, who was snoring loudly due to the fatigue of the day, lying in the corner, Duan Qing couldn't help but touch his own.
Nose: "It's enough to be able to hold on for a while. Once we have a base, some other plans can be put on the agenda."
"But I always feel that something is wrong, even though there are enough wrong things happening to us." Shaking his head, Goldman reached out and patted the black iron shield placed in front of him: "
The origin of the Bridge of Miracles, the attitude of the Sioux towards us, the Stone of Wind——"
"And that thing in your arms." He pointed at the incomplete disc that was re-liberated due to the completion of the construction of the magic circle and had been taken back by Duan Qing in his arms. The deep worry gradually appeared in his eyes.
He said: "If all of this is added up and points in a new direction, it is hard for me to imagine what is waiting for us ahead."
"An Xin, we have experienced so many disasters." Waving his hand, Duan Qing showed an indifferent expression on his face: "Currently, there are no players of the same level coming to stop us. At most,
That is, the restorationists and the forces behind them may find this place..."
"Isn't this enough?" A hesitant expression flashed across his face for a moment, and Gedman finally showed a wry smile: "Well, this is what you said. If you take the risk again,
If there are any weirder enemies, I won’t deal with them no matter what.”
"As long as you are still willing to stay in this group." Pointing behind him, Duan Qing also had a wry smile on his face: "There are former professional players and former witches in our team, and there are important people who want to escape.
Prisoners, problem people with broken arms, and me, the main culprit who drags everyone down...it's really hard for you to be able to tolerate the existence of a team like ours."
"You mean I'm the only normal person in the team now? Ha, I may have more problems than you think." He turned around and sneered, and the figure belonging to Goldman followed him.
The shield fell from the high earth wall: "But so far, I am quite satisfied with the situation of our team."
"I hope you will continue to work hard and keep it up."
As he said these words, his forward body also drew a series of afterimages at extremely high speeds. The shield reflecting the black light also immediately collided with the ghost pairs of several demon wolves that rushed towards him from the depths of the night grassland.
The pupils covered each other and intertwined, causing a loud and harsh crashing sound into the air.
*********************************
"No, no, it's not right here."
With the formal establishment and formation of this small station, the adventurous life belonging to the Qingling Adventure Group has finally entered the formal stage as Duan Qing said, and more and more transactions and business contacts have followed this
The team's gradual stability gradually formed between them and the Sioux people who were not far away. They exchanged the wolf skins and wolf meat that they had finally obtained into the diamond-shaped currency unique to the Wind Continent. Ever since they came to this continent,
The team that had nothing finally got rid of the state of being completely destitute in name. The members of the team who were originally busy with other things finally had a little division of labor due to the accumulation of wealth, and they used each other's skills to dedicate themselves to the operation of the camp.
Try your best: "This account is not comparable to the amount of loot we brought back yesterday - did you steal some of the wolf skins?"
"That's not the case. According to the leader's wishes, some of the wolf skins were given to Baldu by us. He knows most of the leatherworkers in the Sioux tribe. We just hope that he can give us a better price...
…”
"Better price? That's even more wrong. If you use the remaining wolf skins to sell them at a higher price, the number should be higher than now. It is definitely not a balance of payments situation... You are
Didn't you use it to buy something else? What is that thing you have on your waist? A new kettle?"
"Uh, this, this..."
"Look, as long as the direction is right, even that little girl can use her extra strength."
Sitting on a half-built adobe in the camp, Duan Qing patted his belly and looked at Mengzhu who was "interrogating" Chaori Dongsheng at the gate of the camp with a contented look: "I didn't expect that the little girl not only learned to settle accounts, but also learned how to look at things.
They have all become so vicious and sophisticated."
"Why do I think it's because she has always doubted that Asahi Dongsheng." She pouted her lips, and Xueling Huanbing, who was located diagonally below Duan Qing, never let go of her shield-sword gesture: "Once someone is included in
If you have no suspects, you will feel suspicious about everything you look at."
"That's right, it seems that you also have a lot of experience in this area." So Duan Qing smiled and looked away from the two people in the distance: "Although I handed over the management of the accounts to that little girl at the beginning.
In order to shorten the distance between her and us, but looking at the current effect, I don’t know whether this choice is good or bad.”
"Let them go, can they really cause such a big storm?" Still maintaining the waving movements, Xueling Huanbing also withdrew his attention from the scene in front of him: "Ninety-eight,
Ninety-nine...Okay, what should I practice next?"
"If we have practiced all the basic postures, we should probably proceed to the next step of training." Duan Qing jumped down from the top of the adobe, and Duan Qing's voice sounded next to Xue Ling Huan Bing: "One-handed sword
There are many combination fighting techniques with shields, and if you have a round shield, these techniques will become more flexible."
"So the connection between the basic skills will be the key." The gray-robed magician's hands were gesturing back and forth in the air, as if he was introducing some combat knowledge to the white-haired woman in front of him: "For example, sword and shield consecutive cuts.
It will make your body lean forward, making it easier for you to release heavy slashes or flying slashes. Taking into account the movement or even rolling, the pick slash and the roundhouse slash after getting up may also be better choices."
"Really? But I always think it might be better to clash with a shield afterwards——"
"You two."
The interjection of the words interrupted the low-pitched discussion between the two people, and then what emerged was the figure that loomed in the distance when Goldman returned to the camp at an unknown time: "Stop practicing now, take a rest."
"Let's welcome our guests by the way."
