There are many migrants in the wilderness. Their homes ran out of fuel and had to leave to find a new home.
Among them are craftsmen, warriors, scholars, and all kinds of people.
A blond girl held a torch and led everyone forward.
"There is a green signal tower over there, go in that direction." She told everyone, "It will take one day at most."
The followers cheered up and followed the girl forward.
As life burns, the girl's body gradually matures, and if it continues, it will become old.
Fortunately, they arrived at a camp that was beginning to take shape before that happened. A few worker ants and civilians were busy. Two armed militiamen and soldier ants patrolled. There were beetles flying in the sky.
A few tusk pigs pulled a long car at the door. It was obviously a caravan. A young man with black hair wearing glasses was talking to the owner of the caravan.
The blonde girl Emily extinguished the torch in her hand. No, she can't be considered a girl now. He looks like he is in his mid-twenties.
"Welcome to...Wu Dark Camp." Wu Hui said that his name was chosen casually, but it seemed to have some profound meaning.
Emily looked at the Sun Tower in the center of the camp with some yearning in her eyes: "We have advanced sun tower upgrade drawings and three professional craftsmen. I hope you can take us in temporarily."
Behind her, there were three old men that most camps did not want. They were not too old, about fifty years old. In addition there were a dozen young people and children.
Everyone was dressed in ragged clothes, and their eyes were full of vigilance and a little hope.
Emily and the others have run out of resources and have no other option but to ask for shelter. I just hope the managers here don't abandon the elderly and children.
"I am willing to take you in." Wu Hui scanned them with his glasses to confirm that they had no ill intentions and that they were really exhausted: "But you have to obey my command."
"..." Emily lowered her head and looked at her charming figure under the tattered clothes: "Okay."
"I mean, follow my command and go out to hunt monsters and lead patrols." Wu Hui was dissatisfied with Emily's ability to think of yellow waste at this moment: "Now the camp is very lacking in combat effectiveness."
"Oh. Okay." Emily originally thought that Wu Hui was quite handsome and felt that she was not too disadvantaged, but now she just feels embarrassed.
Meanwhile, Lucas is walking in the wilderness with the Blackstone Knights.
There are so many unknowns in the dark, and things are changing very quickly. Even a local lord needs to send people out frequently to explore the surrounding situation.
While exploring, kill bandits and unscrupulous businessmen, and hunt mutant species. Everything you get is yours to keep and you don’t have to hand it over. It can be said that the treatment is quite good.
Lucas calculated that he would have two or three gold coins after lying down and doing all the work. With the purchasing power of today's gold coins, it is enough to do many things.
Gold coins are actually more than just ordinary money. It also contains traces of a small amount of firewood to prevent counterfeiting.
At the same time, in the joint area of the major lords, they will be willing to exchange firewood for this currency, ensuring the circulation ability of this thing.
Money, whether it is shells, gold, paper, data, or spiritual stones. As long as everyone admits it, it is money and currency. Many currencies have basically no use value if they are not circulated.
How to make money recognized is a long process. Wu Hui may still think about these things, but Lucas doesn't have the brain.
"There are signs of human activity ahead, but there are no signs of firewood or the Tower of the Sun." The knight captain said: "They are probably people from the dark faction."
The position of Black Rock City belongs to the Ember faction. He was dissatisfied with the Illuminati's wasteful ignition operations, but he couldn't stand the Dark faction who always captured their own people for experiments.
"There are traces of undead activities, it's the Undead Sect." Ansen studied it on the ground. Although he has little vision, his detective skills are still good.
"Well, if they are not very strong we will kill them." The captain touched his chin.
No one has any comments.
Not to mention that they are recognized bad guys, even if it is just an ordinary camp, these guys who call themselves knights will decide whether to rob based on the situation.
When everyone is struggling to survive, long-term considerations like a moral bottom line don't make much sense.
In the darkness, a group of necromancers in black robes were chanting spells on the corpse.
Not long after, a body stood up.
But the mages were quite disappointed.
"Failed again."
"Although the corpse will not be corroded by the darkness, it cannot maintain its consciousness."
"But it is impossible for ordinary people to transform into lichs, and the undead cannot reproduce on their own."
"There are still many corpses of refugees, let's continue studying them."
Not far away, the knights had completed their investigation and noticed a large amount of magic materials behind these mages.
So, they were ready to take action.
Meanwhile, at the Darkless Camp.
The name Wu Hui chose casually became the way people here would call him in the future.
The newly joined refugees and craftsmen quickly arranged work for him. Of course Wu Hui had a little conscience and provided them with food and let them have a rest.
"Although there aren't many people in this camp and it's very new, it's done well for you." Emily followed Wu Hui to visit. Then she saw Wu Hui leading her to a dimly lit open space: "Come."
Emily looked at his face and wondered: "What?"
"I want to test your combat prowess and find out what kind of work will be assigned to you." Wu Hui pushed up his glasses, and the temperature around him began to drop.
Okay, Emily is indeed as Wu Hui said, her mind is full of pornographic waste. When Wu Hui pulled him into an uninhabited corner, his first reaction was that this handsome boy was going to do something shameful to him.
Facing the serious Wu Hui, she felt quite ashamed.
Obviously, even if he was now Nosa, Wu Hui would not have any feelings or desires for the woman he had just met.
The ice turned into blades and surrounded Emily from all sides.
Emily coughed dryly and started singing. During the song, the ice blades shattered, and invisible divine power descended.
Chanting, incantations, poems, language and sounds leveraging natural forces are one of the mainstream forces in this world. Beings like Wu Hui are called warlocks, because they don't need to chant spells or write runes, they can release spells directly with their thoughts.
Warlocks with both ice and beast-taming abilities are even rarer.
Wu Hui did not use his insect swarm, but simply activated the ice power to delay the enemy. The singing brings quite a powerful destructive power, but to be honest, it's quite nice. A high song, passionate and firm.
If he can't suppress Emily in terms of combat effectiveness, it will be difficult to command her in the future.
