The blowing wind continued to rise upwards along the straight outline along with the obstruction of the earth wall, sweeping 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 carefully stretched out his fingers. Duan Qing, who was resisting the dragging action, now widened his eyes at the bright stones exposed among 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 scope of my magic circle construction 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 own eyes, Xue Ling Huan Bing whispered this fact that was hard 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 Stone of Wind." 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 people live 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 really as scarce as those people described before." It seems that the inspection has been completed, Duan Qing stretched out his hand 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... Well."
"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 quality 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 something in the distance: "Are you also lazy? Lazy people are lazy. Are we together?"
"This is called on-site investigation! You know nothing!" Duan Qing raised his voice and responded perfunctorily: "And isn't it just to repair the station?"
"I will arrange the defenses 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 episode gradually spread around the slopes of the camp. Using his own understanding, he gradually constructed the magic array. Duan Qing, holding the design drawings in his hands, then began to build the positions around the camp. Magic circuits filled with a touch of magic and formations made of wind stones followed. Accompanied by the movements and command of the gray-robed magician, it gradually unfolded in the corner of the camp where the sound of dust was constantly rising: "This is it, bury another stone here."
"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 happens to be a little bit of a warning."
"Will it be blocked by rain or something? Well, I can't 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 inside and outside of the earthen wall, and finally the magic circle that Duan Qing described on the paper was completely reproduced on the walls around the camp before sunset. The faint fluorescence gradually appeared with the connection of the last magic line, complementing the brilliant starry sky that appeared again on the night of February 25th. The gradually increasing grassland wind also began to spread in this small area as night fell. The surroundings of the small team kept rising, and then they were swallowed up out of sight by the front of the earthen wall, which was carved with light green traces and vaguely showed mysterious light: "... Phew, it seems that 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 rest and patted the seemingly heavy and solid wall: "I have never seen any earth and stone buildings that can survive this long-lasting 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 long." Looking back at Chao Ri Dongsheng, who was snoring loudly due to the day's exertion, 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, Gedmane 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 adds up and points to 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 risk it again, If there are any weirder enemies, I don’t care how to deal with them.”
"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 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 impact sound in 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 Nasu tribe not far away. They exchanged the wolf skins and wolf meat they had finally acquired for the diamond-shaped currency unique to the Wind Continent. The team, which had had nothing since arriving on this continent, finally got rid of its nominal poverty. The team members finally had a little division of labor due to the accumulation of wealth, and worked hard for the operation of the camp in the way that each other was good at: "This account is not the same as the amount of loot we brought back yesterday - don't you guys?" Did you steal some of the wolf skins?"
"That's not the case. According to the leader's wishes, we gave some of the wolf skins to Baldu. He knows most of the leatherworkers in the Sioux tribe. We just hope that he can give us a better price... …”
"A 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? The 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" Zhaori 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 know someone to be suspicious of, everything you look at will feel suspicious."
"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 huge storm?" Still maintaining the waving movements, Xue Ling Huan Bing 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 his voice sounded next to Xue Ling Huan Bing: "One-handed sword There are many combination fighting techniques with shields, and if you have a buckler like you, these techniques will become more flexible."
"So the connection between the basic skills will become the key." The gray-robed magician gestured 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, the sword and shield consecutive cuts It will make your body lean forward, making it easier for you to release heavy slashes or flying slashes. Considering the movement or even rolling, picking slashes and spinning slashes after getting up may also be better choices."
"Really? But I always think it might be better to clash with a shield later——"
"You two."
The interjection of the words interrupted the low-pitched discussion between the two people, and then what appeared 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."
