Chapter 213 The Troubles of the Floating City Lord
Just as Wang made the decision to get the fence poles, he ran into a problem.
“It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice,” Rosalie used a Monrovian proverb. “With so many acres of land on the island, even if we want to make a fence of wood or bamboo, we still need wood.”
Wang: "Don't worry, we will return to the place where the Star Chaser ran aground soon. There should be a lot of wood there."
Elizabeth: "It's not just that we don't have wood. Originally, we came to Qianshui City to buy building materials and hire craftsmen. Now the building materials are not for sale, and I don't know if there are any craftsmen."
Hashir: "Our gang has a carpenter and a blacksmith, so we should be able to get to the island alive. But just having a carpenter and no wood is not enough. The blacksmith doesn't have any iron now, not even a furnace. It is estimated that he will only be able to grind for a while."
Sharpen the knife."
Well, what kind of blacksmith is a blacksmith who can only sharpen knives?
Wang scratched his head: "How about we go back to the ground and search, maybe we can find something useful."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the refugees around him declined in unison: "No, no, it's okay to make do now."
Hahir snorted: "Listen to what they say! It's just that they haven't gotten over the shock of heaven. When they get used to floating in the sky, you can see their true nature! Nothing, nothing.
Que, I pretend to be asking for your charity all day long.
"Actually, they are the worst. They hide their wealth in various corners and ask for charity from you all day long. When you are down and out, they will immediately come and add insult to injury, and then take away your things!"
The refugees remained silent.
Hashir continued: "Perhaps there were really kind and good people in Qianshui City, I don't deny this. But the kind and good people in that city only have one end, becoming corpses in the gutter! Then all the valuable things on them become
What's in these people's pockets.
"There are definitely no kind and good people in Qianshui City now! Absolutely none! Just watch, they will soon want houses, food, and other things."
At this time, someone among the refugees was unconvinced and retorted: "Don't you just say that because you want the Lord of the City to rely on you? You pretend to be a kind person who warns the Lord of the City, but in fact it is all your own calculations!"
Hahir: "Hmph, I recognize you. Wang, the one who speaks is Crow, the liar king in Lower City. He makes a living by coaxing the rookie adventurers who have just come to Qianshui City. His small gang has kidnapped many adventurers.
Even if there is a woman in the team, it will be defiled!"
Crowe: "This is slander! I also have a legitimate business!"
"Yes, yes, as for the pawn shop, I just don't know how many of the things you sell in the pawn shop are pawned by others, and how many are directly stolen from dead adventurers. After all, the shanty town is like a cannibal.
Monsters, countless people disappear inside every day, even if a few new adventurers disappear, no one will care."
Hashir paused and then said: "By the way, I remember that you have a wife and daughter. Where have they gone?"
Crow squeezed out a few tears: "Of course he was killed by the undead army..."
Hahir: "I think you took the initiative to trip them up and let them delay for you! This person is such a bastard, and many such bastards escaped this time."
Wang: "Granny Hasil, stop talking. Now we can only rely on the Pelican Gang to reorganize the vigilante group. From now on, you will be the one to manage them, Granny Hasil, who knows their true nature."
"But we have a temporary agreement here in the floating city. Grandma Hasil, do you have literate scribes in the Pelican Gang? Let the scribes read the agreement to the entire gang, and refer to the agreement when managing."
Hashir: "There is still a contract, so that's fine. Just manage it according to the contract."
Wang: "Also, if there is a guy like this Crow among the refugees, please arrest him. We don't want such serious criminals here."
Hashir: "What happens after we are caught? Hang them?"
Crowe knelt down with a bang: "Wish! It's all slandered by this old woman! I am..."
Wang: "There is no need to hang. We can be banished to the island. We will soon return to the place where the Star Chaser ran aground. Here we can obtain the much-needed wood. By then, we can arrest criminals and unreliable people, especially those just now
The people from the Black Dragon Gang that Hahir said were exiled to the island."
Hahir: "I still suggest that except for the family members of the Pelican Gang, everyone else should be exiled to the island."
Crowe: "This old witch just wants us to die! There are ferocious beasts and terrifying lizard people in the rain forest. How can we, a group of unarmed people, survive?"
Li Guang crossed his arms and said: "There are also vicious lizard people on the island. According to you, it is not safe on the island."
Crowe was speechless for a moment.
Wang: "Sending them all is a bit beyond my bottom line. There are women and children included."
Xiaobai was shocked: "You have actually become the good camp now! I saw you negotiating with the sect, and I think we must be the evil camp. So it is logical."
The "what" Xiaobai said here should refer to colluding with the lich.
Nini: "I think the teacher has always been very flexible."
Wang: "No matter what, we can't put everyone down across the board, but bad things like this must go down!"
Hashir: "Okay, I'll try my best to screen."
Wang: "It is estimated that it will take a whole night of flying to reach the place where the Star Chaser ran aground. We will sort out the people to be deported tonight and drive them off when we land tomorrow. In addition, we will organize a strong labor force and prepare saws and axes after landing tomorrow."
, we need to separate the Star Chaser and other stranded merchant ships and transport them up, and first build a hut to protect them from the wind and rain."
Hashir: "Just leave this to us."
Wang: "Be careful when dismantling the Star Chaser. The captain's cabin of the Star Chaser has permanent space compression magic. Don't dismantle it. The captain's cabin must be transported up intact."
Hahir frowned: "How big is the captain's cabin?"
Wang reported the exact length, width and height.
Hashir: "It's very complicated to transport such a large object. You are a mage, can't you think of a way?"
Wang: "You can't use levitating magic on such big things. But I can prepare the Giant Transformation Technique. You choose a few strong workers, and I will use the Giant Transformation Technique to make it bigger, and then move the things up."
"Okay." Hahir nodded.
Crowe didn't know when he crawled to the king's feet: "Lord City Lord! Don't drive us off the island, for this I can kiss your boots!"
After saying that, he hugged Wang's boots and really kissed them.
After so much, Wang's boots were covered in mud, and Crowe kissed them without hesitation.
Wang initially planned to slap his foot, but found that the boot was caught by Crowe, who was determined to perform this scene.
Wang's heart skipped a beat, and he raised his foot fiercely, throwing Crowe completely out.
Hashir said next to him: "You probably have a feel for what kind of person this guy is now, right?"
Wang: "I can't feel it because I'm not good at recognizing people. But...his performance makes me disgusted and I want him to get off the island!"
"Right now?" Xiaobai showed a malicious smile, and the ears on the top of his head stood up energetically, "I'm happy to do it for you."
The king thought for a while and shook his head: "Deport him tomorrow. And his accomplices, I mean those guys who cheated adventurers together, expel them all. Also, I just noticed that you call me the city lord, but now there is no city."
, calling him City Lord is obviously inappropriate."
Rosalie said: "There is nothing wrong with this. You are indeed the controller of this floating city. No one can control this city without you. Just accept the title of City Lord, or you can write to me
Father, ask him to make you a duke, and the fiefdom will be this floating city."
Elizabeth immediately said: "I can't stand your wishful thinking anymore. Once the king accepts this title, this floating city legally belongs to Monrovia and is Monrovia's territory."
Rosalie smiled: "I don't have such a plan. Miss Elizabeth would think so. I'm afraid she is not making such a plan, so I think I do too, right?"
Wang: "Instead of bickering here, why don't you think about how to arrange the thousands of people now? I just forgot to mention that there is also a problem of drinking water that needs to be solved. There is no water source on the floating city, and it is relatively easy to fly.
High, maybe even higher than the rain clouds.
"We must prepare water storage equipment. Granny Hasil, do your craftsmen know how to dig a pool?"
Hashir was embarrassed: "The Pelican Gang doesn't have the right craftsmen to do this. After all... we have lived by the Mashunya River since we were born, and fresh water is a resource that is easily available to us.
"There are no wells or ponds for water storage in the entire Qianshui City."
Wang could only hold his forehead: "This is really difficult to handle."
Elizabeth: "We have a lot of dimensional bags. Should we use dimensional bags to hold water?"
Everyone looked at Elizabeth together.
Xiaobai: "This...could it be that Dabai is actually quite smart?"
Wang shook his head: "No, how is that possible? When I was giving a lecture to Nini yesterday, she ran over to listen, and soon fell asleep on the table."
Xiaobai: "What do you mean? I fell asleep while you were giving lectures! Are you saying that my IQ is the same as hers?"
Elizabeth: "That's enough, you guys! I occasionally come up with good ideas!"
Wang: "Yes, you did have a good idea this time."
He patted Elizabeth on the shoulder: "Well done. It has temporarily solved our problem, but it is only temporary. We obviously still have a religious group to deal with, but now we have to worry about the lives of two thousand refugees."
Li Guang said: "Looking at the best, you can at least recruit a few hundred mature men from these two thousand people. You will at least have a small army when you fight against the cult."
Xiaobai: "But this small army only has crude weapons and hard leather armor. You still have to buy them weapons and armor."
Wang Fu'e: "You are right. Speaking of armor... the only person in our team who wears heavy armor is still waiting for us to be resurrected."
Elizabeth: "How to resurrect him? Wasn't his body destroyed by withering?"
King: "Ah, well, actually when we went to confront the Lich, it gave - we captured a limited wish scroll. So now we can consider resurrecting Flint."
Nini: "But in order for the limited wishing spell to work correctly, don't you have to carefully consider the words you wish for? Can you...can do it?"
