"Adam! Adamu! What did you say to those outsiders?"
Some time later, inside the Daltar settlement, several young tribesmen who were close together quickly approached Adamu who was walking back to the settlement. They rushed towards each other and then looked at each other hesitantly. Finally, they were A little boy who squeezed out of the crowd took over the topic: "They, are they telling the truth?"
"Did the patriarch reveal the news so quickly?" After touching the little boy's head, Adamu looked around again with a more serious look in his eyes: "So... everyone agrees to leave here?"
"Leave? How to leave?" Before the silent tribesmen could tell their answers, a tribesman standing in the crowd asked in a low voice: "If the beast tide really comes, we won't be able to do it at all." Chance to leave.”
"Those adventurers promised a way to leave this place, and they allowed us to take our belongings with them." Pointing behind him, Adamu grinned with an inexplicable smile: "They have shown me just now pass."
"Has it been shown?"
After another period of unspeakable silence, the tribal boy pinned down by big hands struggled and asked urgently: "Those adventurers flew away with you? Like the gods in the legend?"
"You're talking about the 'teleportation magic' they promised, right." After looking at the other party with his eyes open for a while, Adamu slowly shook his head as if aware of it: "That can indeed be called It's like a 'miracle', but that's not what they showed me."
"They used another method." He rubbed the boy's head again, and said to the young tribe members around him with a straight face: "That's exactly why I came here, I want to catch up with the beast tide. To escape this place before the attack, we must work together and start now.”
"Do it? Why do you do it?"
"Just follow my instructions."
The silent night was gradually broken with the last words of the tribal warrior. The whistling wind that kept passing by began to be replaced by the increasingly obvious busyness. The tribesmen who walked out of their tents also began to look at the scene. This group of young people from the tribe gradually collected the unused wooden boards around the entire settlement and moved them towards the east again and again: "What are you doing here?"
"Make a boat!"
He is still the little boy who likes to run around, and the figure jumping around the busy crowd does not look afraid or tired at all at this time: "Those brothers and sisters said that they want to make a big boat! It can be built on the big ship in the west. The kind that travels everywhere on the sea!”
"Ship? How is this possible?" Confused looks of unknown meaning passed between the eyes of these tribesmen. It seemed that they could not understand the meaning of the words that jumped out of the little boy's mouth at this time: "No, that...even if it is really... Boat', this is not a big sea."
"I don't know what the real sea is. You always say you want to take us to see it, but we haven't been there even once." The dissatisfied little boy bared his teeth at these tribesmen: "But it doesn't matter, I can see the real ship right now!"
"is it possible?"
The doubts on their faces became more and more intense, and the curiosity in the hearts of these ignorant tribesmen finally defeated their uneasiness. They walked in the direction where the young people of the tribe were moving forward while carrying things to each other, and finally Deep in the grass on the edge of the settlement, the three or two adventurers gathered on the spot were found directing everyone: "Yes, just put it here, try to insert it as firmly as possible, so that... Hey! Use gentle force Click! It will be troublesome if it breaks!"
"Arrange the points according to the points selected in our drawings without any deviation. This thing requires extremely high accuracy in magic. If something goes wrong, I don't know what to do."
"Bring over that slate. It is the basic slate used as the base. I will engrave a power supply magic array on it in a while to connect the magic disc and the wind-calming stone to each other..."
—————
"Go out, go a little further, let me think about it...circling a basketball court, it should be enough to accommodate all of you, right? What? You haven't seen a basketball court? That Hulun people's martial arts training ground Have you seen it?"
"It's really tiring."
As he was directing the construction of this temporary engineering team and busy carving the magic circle, the sweat on the face of the gray-robed magician named Duan Qing seemed to become more and more obvious as time went by, and finally accompanied by A long sigh was wiped off a little by his sleeve: "Even when I commanded the ancient residents to build the bridge in my memory, their understanding was much stronger than the current tribesmen."
"After all, they are not a professional team, but ordinary grassland tribesmen, so don't be too demanding." Then the sound of chattering sounded in his ears, and she stretched out her hand to hand over a towel: "The key is time - distance. How many hours have passed since we arrived here?"
"It should be enough time." Looking up at the night, Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "As long as these tribesmen are willing to fully cooperate with us, it will at least be enough time to encircle an area for removal."
"What about the energy?" Xue Ling Huan Bing, who had just arranged the things that a new group of tribesmen had moved over to the other side of the area, walked back to him and asked in a low voice: "Are you sure you want to use that ancient circle?" Pan as an energy center?”
"Why, are you still worried about Yuanpan?" Sensing that the other party had been staring at Yuanpan in his hand, Duan Qing's busy movements in his hands temporarily stopped: "Don't have any psychological shadow, as long as it's not If you act too recklessly, this thing will be no different from an ordinary magic battery."
"As long as the existence of this disk is not too exposed."
Their eyes stayed in the center of this noisy world that was gradually surrounded by crowds. The gray-robed magician spoke in a low voice. The two women, who seemed to understand the other party's implication, then dispersed their gazes and once again immersed themselves in the tense scene. While busy: "Connect these wooden boards! Yes, just align the lines drawn on them. When those runes take effect, you will see their effect."
"Try not to damage the ground under your feet. We are still counting on them to complete the circuit... What is electricity, you ask? This thing is difficult to explain to you. You just need to know that it is the power of the divine messenger."
"Bring on your hunting skills! Who has the best eyesight among you? Measure the distance between each rune and make sure there is no misalignment."
"This way, and this way...yes, the runes have been placed - Duan Qing!"
Nervously patrolling the left and right sides of each arc-shaped venue, Snow Spirit Huan Bing and Xu Yu Liushang with Adamu kept checking the integrity of the layout. The sound of confirmation was followed by the silence after the emergency construction was completed. The pictures that came down all reached Duan Qing's ears: "It's all done!"
"Very good." They were answered by Duan Qing, who was sitting in the middle of the field without raising his head: "Since there is no chance for a trial run, let's start directly."
"I hope my mentor didn't lie to me." He shook his arm vigorously, and then turned one of the gems inlaid on the magic disk half a circle: "Activate."
An obvious buzzing sound appeared around here as the sound fell, attracting the eyes of the Datar tribe who were still looking here to the left and right sides of the field, and a slight shaking followed. Waves of magical power surged to the surface of every erected wooden board around this arc-shaped area and began to appear under everyone's feet. Finally, together with the gradually rising ground, it completely exploded: "This, this is -"
"The earth is rising! We - Huh? Is this the only place that is rising?"
"Look, those grasslands are changing! They have turned into rocks! No, they seem to be a little different from rocks..."
"Those runes! Their lights are connecting with each other! They, they...ahhhhhhh!"
The runes appearing between the wooden boards gradually connected into thick lines under the influence of magical power. The magical energy rushing among them also appeared on the unstable ground as the broken earth fell. In front of these people, the soil that began to fall off due to the exposure of energy also fell toward the bottom of the raised ground along with the screams of the tribesmen. It looked like it was missing from the mesh of a giant net: " The bracket was successful! But the hardening speed of the water element runes cannot keep up with the destruction speed of the energy shock!"
"Advanced magic strengthening! Earth element shaping!"
Before the whispering reminder could be finished, another shout from Duan Qing to activate magic loomed in her ears: "The projects should not have been completed at the same time, and it should have been delayed, but -"
"As long as we make up for it."
The falling soil and grass clippings gathered together again as the khaki magic energy surged out of Duan Qing's hand, and soon solidified at the bottom of the magic rune lines like tight rock formations. , the rising grass also stopped shaking with the appearance of these hardened lands, shining with gray-black light under the giant network of intertwined magic energy: "... Phew, okay."
"Call all your tribesmen over, and be quick." A look of exhaustion flashed through his eyes, and the gray-robed magician then lowered his voice to the young tribesmen who were still helping each other climb out of the sunken ground. The voice said: "Whoever wants to move aboard can move aboard."
"If you don't want to move onto the ship, just stay here and fend for yourself."
*************************************
The Daltar tribe is worthy of being a small tribe that lives on the edge of the central grassland. Its actual population is probably only about a few dozen people. Except for the dozen or so young warriors who just started to help Adamu work for Duan Qing, the remaining There are not many old, young, women and children left. The last tremors of the earth also witnessed the miracle of shipbuilding. These old people who had been hesitating finally made up their minds. It was not Duan Qing and others' warnings and Adamu who made them make up their minds. Instead of persuasion, it was the faint smell of blood coming from the west.
For these tribe members who have lived on the grassland for a long time, it is too obvious what this smell represents.
"The herd is very close to us, and it is a large herd."
Watching the tribesmen who were carrying things and climbing onto the earthen boats one after another, Adamu explained in a low voice: "Only a herd of beasts that is of a certain size can kill them within a distance that we cannot see. The smell is carried along the wind duct."
"The earth veins that were previously damaged by the energy impact have not recovered, so the wind force on this wind channel has not recovered." Frowning his brows, Duan Qing's analysis voice also followed closely: "Looking at it this way, they It’s only going to get closer to us…how many people haven’t moved up yet?”
"This is the last batch. I will advise them to give up the other things." Pointing to the settlement not far from here, the frowning Adamu turned to look at the crowds of people passing by him: "Facts It’s already in front of us, and they won’t burden all of us with these old-fashioned traditions and immovable burdens.”
"hope so."
Looking at the two people who were helping to check the integrity and safety of the earthen boat not far away, Duan Qing turned his eyes to the figure gradually walking behind Adamu: "But I didn't expect that the nobles The clan leader is actually a woman."
"It's just that the tribesmen trust them to this extent." As Adamu bowed his head respectfully, the figure wearing a gorgeous tribal felt hat and female tribal costumes walked up to Duan Qing: "It's an honor to meet you, the representative of the divine envoy. I am the leader of the Tartar tribe, Tariana."
"Two of my teammates have met you before, but unfortunately they didn't seem to mention your gender to me." Duan Qing, who put away his gaze, also followed the etiquette of a grassland tribe: "I'm sorry, but I don’t have any unnecessary opinions on this. On the contrary, many women around me are actually very representative and powerful.”
"Strength cannot be described with words, especially at this moment." Looking at the backs of Xue Ling Huan Bing and Xu Yu Liu not far away, the woman who called herself Tariana answered casually with her hands together, The face that looked a little round in the night gradually became serious as the tone changed: "Since the clan members are willing to believe in you, as the clan leader, I will not disobey their wishes, but..."
"Since we followed the wishes of the divine envoy and started this migration, then the divine envoy must have already chosen the direction."
Following these words, her eyes looked behind Duan Qing together with the several Datar tribesmen beside her.
"Isn't it that direction?"
