Chapter 218 Just tell me whether this authority can be kept true or not!
Then the big project of moving the ants began.
In the first few minutes, as the only priest of Kailin's temple in the Floating City - no, the Cardinal Archbishop of the Diocese of the Floating City, Flint received his first job: several dock gang helpers.
The crowd came to him carrying several barrels.
Flint was sitting on a small bench, and on the mound next to him was the "sacred statue" of Kailyn that he had worked hard to carve all night. It was a bit strange to see these people coming over with buckets.
"What's wrong?" he asked while loading his pipe, "Ah, I remembered, you guys were carrying barrels to make an altar for me, right? I did say that I would use wooden barrels to make an altar, but look, I piled them up
Kailin doesn't have any objection to the mud altar, so there's no need to bother."
The leader of the gang put down the barrel and said, "This is wine. So let's take it and see if your Majesty can make the wine delicious."
When Flint heard that it was wine, he stood up and walked to the barrel and patted it hard: "Well, this sound, there is liquid in it. Half of the wine will have a label, let me take a look... Here, under the barrel,
You idiot, you put the bucket upside down!"
Flint turned the barrel over, with the mark facing up.
"Kailin's Horn! This is the Fire Brand Wine, the best-selling and most popular wine in the country on the other side of the mountain range in the world! You guys really have no discernment. These barrels of wine are rare on this side of the mountain range.
"Even if I really have magical power, this wine can't get any better. Is it possible that with my magical power, I can turn this thing into Shire liquor?"
Shire Spirits, the greatest creation of the halflings, comes from the Shire Hills, the main city of the halflings. It is one of the best spirits. In the songs of the bards, this wine is even regarded as a medicine for forgetting worries, because all worries will disappear.
It disappears after a glass of wine - in fact, it is drunk.
Flint: "Damn, why do I need to bring up Shire liquor? The last time we drank it, we hadn't set off yet, and Her Highness the Princess invited us to drink it."
Gotrek: "The princess who shoots the scorching ray."
The dwarf was startled and looked at the barbarian: "There you are!"
Gotrick: "Follow the wine."
"You want to drink? Tell me earlier, I'll have some too... No, has this wine king told you how to deal with it?" the dwarf asked the gang members who came over with the wine.
"The old lady ordered us to carry it over. She told us to carry it back if it can't be turned into better wine, and it will be counted as part of the reserve."
Flint: "How do I know if I can turn it into good wine if I can't open it? Gottrick, come on, break this lid off!"
Generally, wine barrels are sealed. To open them, you have to drill a hole, connect the faucet, and then drink the wine. However, there is also a cruder way to open the barrel: just lift the lid of the barrel.
The gang members asked in confusion: "Do you want to open the lid directly? This can't be done without the strength of a barbarian, right?"
Flint: "Ha/ha\! Gotrek happens to be a barbarian, what a coincidence! Gotrek, come on, let's share this barrel of wine! When people ask, they say we worship Caelynn!"
Gotrick gave a thumbs up: "Reasonable!"
As he spoke, the barbarian grabbed the lid of the wine barrel, shouted and forced the lid open. Because the force was too strong, the lid flew up and landed on the head of the "heavy defense unit" left by the Cyclops Empire not far away.
Flint ignored the flying lid and ran directly to the barrel.
Then he turned around in annoyance, returned to Kailin's "altar", picked up the small bench he was sitting on and returned.
Leaning on the foot of the small bench, Flint finally reached the wine in the barrel, took a handful and drank it.
"Oh, it's really good. I don't remember the last time I drank Fire Brand Wine. It was so many years ago. Tanis and I were traveling to the other side of the World Mountains.
"Barbarian, bring me a spoon!"
Suddenly, Flint stopped, leaned close to the edge of the barrel and smelled it: "Strange, why has the smell changed? It's not the soft aroma of wine anymore."
He took another handful of wine and drank it, exclaiming: "The wine has turned into Charl!"
Gotrick: "What?"
Flint: "Shire! This strength, this fragrance, it is definitely Shire! Caelynn actually gave me a part of her authority. I turned Firebrand wine into Shire."
!Kailin’s horn, can’t he give us some authority that will be helpful in our battle? He obviously has a lot of authority that is very beneficial to the war!”
Gotrick also stretched out his hand to taste some of it: "Yes, it is indeed Shire liquor."
At this time, the gangsters who were watching finally couldn't hold back and said, "Your Majesty, can we have some drinks too?"
"You guys drink it! Just come here and hold it with your hands, or help find a spoon."
Gotrick took out a cup from his dimensional bag: "I have this."
Flint: "Why do you have a cup in your dimensional bag?"
Gotrick: "Comes with sleeping bag."
After saying that, he directly scooped a glass of wine into the bucket with a cup, raised his neck and drank it all: "It's great."
Flint patted Barbarian's knee hard: "Give me the cup after you finish drinking it, and I'll take a sip. Wait for you guys to wait for me to finish drinking it, and I won't be able to do without you!"

While Flint was enjoying the wine, Wang was calculating supplies with Rosalie.
Rosalie: "Currently, our food is only enough to feed these thousand people for three days. Will your beans grow well in three days?"
Wang shook his head: "No, it will take two weeks. We have to find a way for everyone to spend these two weeks."
Xiaobai: "Is this really something the Salvation Team should worry about? I thought our only job was to fight against the cult."
Wang: "I don't even think about why we are facing food problems now! It's because some druids don't know how to communicate with plants. Generally, druids can feed thousands of people with mushrooms, but some druids only know how to communicate with plants."
Eat meat!”
Xiaobai: "You are biased. There are druids who can't handle plants! I am! Besides, it's not like I can't feed people. Give me a group of goats, or a group of beef cattle, or even a group of ducks.
That’s fine, I can do either... eh?”
Xiaobai suddenly stopped.
Wang: "What's wrong with you?"
Xiaobai: "I can ask the nearby wild ducks to come over and use them as poultry. Why didn't I think of that?"
Wang: "Is it really possible?"
Xiaobai: "Animals have no IQ, and you are not killing them all at once. They will only know that humans are friendly creatures when they give out food, and they will not realize that the reduction in the population is also related to humans.
"Of course you have to be careful when you kill the ducks so that they don't see you. It doesn't matter when you roast them. The ducks won't recognize their plucked cousins and the smell will be covered by the spices."
Wang: "A duck...is such a stupid creature?"
"That's right. Geese are smarter and can't be fooled like this." Xiaobai stood up and said, "I'm going to go for a spin and collect all the nearby ducks. You can feed them whatever you want. Such a large group will have enough rations." !”
Wang: "Are ducks used as rations... That's one way, but aren't wild ducks migratory birds? It's still the warm season for them. They are in the north. How can there be wild ducks around here?"
Xiaobai had already stood up, but froze when he heard this: "Eh? Is that so?"
Wang: "You don't know?"
Xiaobai: "I don't know. I'm mainly familiar with four-legged animals, but I'm not familiar with birds. Don't they always live in the same place like the bald eagle?"
Wang: "No. Have you never studied taxonomy?"
Xiaobai: "Do I look like I have studied taxonomy?"
Wang raised his eyebrows and changed the topic: "But you really opened up my mind. There should be resident birds nearby. During the earthquake, I saw many birds taking off from the forest. You lured those birds here to use as food."
Xiaobai nodded: "Okay, although I don't know what kind of bird a resident bird is, but you said it should be there..."
Wang: "Resident bird is a taxonomic concept, which means..."
"Oh, don't you listen to that bastard chanting sutras!" Xiaobai covered her ears on the top of her head and ran away. After walking a few steps, she realized that she could transform into something and take off, and she turned into her favorite bald eagle and flew away.
Rosalie: "So we have to rely on Xiaobai for the food problem?"
Wang shook his head: "It's good to have hope, but...it's better to make multiple plans. Li Guang, the lizard people should be able to fish, right?"
Liguang: "Of course. We are very good at fishing and hunting."
Wang: "Organize the remaining lizardmen to set nets in the nearby river to catch fish."
Li Guang: "Actually, there is another way, which is to attack other lizard people's villages and seize their food reserves."
Wang: "Is it appropriate for a monk like you to say such things?"
Li Guang clasped his hands together: "The monastery I belong to advocates nature and harmony."
Wang: "I understand, you have flexible moral standards. But now I don't want to attack other lizard people settlements, not at all."
After experiencing two incidents, "a mistake caused an earthquake" and "a lich who thought he was a friendly force launched an evil massacre", Wang had made up his mind not to do anything that would offend his conscience.
Li Guang seemed to be very satisfied with the king's answer. He nodded and said: "Then I will arrange for the lizard people to fish. But there are not many lizard people left on the island now. Just relying on these people to catch fish will definitely not be able to feed the island. The one above."
Wang: "I know. Just wait until our beans start to bear fruit. By the way, remember to collect everyone's feces every day and put it into the fields where the beans are planted."
"We have arranged for people to use the barrels on the ship to build toilets." Rosalie said, "The tents have also been set up. Thanks to the tools obtained from the ship, otherwise I would not know how to start."
Wang: "Be careful with the tent. We are going to take off. If we don't fix it properly, the tent will fly off as soon as we take off."
Rosalie frowned: "Wait a minute, I thought the tent was just to deal with it before building a house on the surface. It would be removed when taking off, and the tent fabric could be remade into a sail."
Wang: "Didn't you notice that from yesterday to now, there have only been boats coming down from the upper reaches, but no boats coming up from the lower reaches? The undead army has no intention of covering up its existence. They will definitely attack everywhere and cause more deaths. We can't stay here for too long. Long.
"We cannot bet our survival on our trust in Elzam. When we left Shallow Water City, Elzam already had flying combat capabilities, and the gargoyles are very difficult opponents. No matter how we think about it, we should Leave as soon as possible——"
Suddenly, a gang member nearby exclaimed: "Black Dragon! The Black Dragon is coming!"
Wang and Rosalie looked up together and saw a bald eagle leading an angry black dragon flying towards the floating island.
The sea eagle swooped down and transformed into a human form in front of everyone, bouncing on the ground before stopping.
Xiaobai stood up quickly: "Look, I brought back a big meal!"
Wang shook his head: "I'll settle the score with you later!"
As he spoke, he took out the dragon-headed scepter, which blinded everyone as usual.
The next moment, another black dragon appeared in front of the angry adult black dragon.
