Before noon, Iman Owen returned to Constantine City Commercial Bank with Surdak to get the lowest discount from the business manager. According to Iman’s idea, those magic crystals that were overcharged should be returned to Surdak in full. I was not too embarrassed to take back those magic crystals, and then those magic crystals were exchanged for nearly 100 sets of overlapping armor.
Iman insisted that the manager of the firm hire a carriage to transport these overlapping armor back to Hailansa City.
In addition, Suldak also ordered ten boxes of fire scale bombs from Iman Owen, because the firearms workshop has no storage. These fire scale bombs will be transported to Hailanza with a carriage in half a month.
Surdak Vorimara saw the explosive power of a fire scale bomb. A fire scale bomb can blow up several hell dogs when it is thrown into a group of hell dogs, and those smashed sheds outside the Constanyine Fort Firearms Workshop are enough to say that the fire scale bomb has good power.
The biggest gain of this trip to Constanyine Fort Surdak was not that he bought nearly 600 sets of well-made duplicate armor as he wished, nor that the market was extremely tight, but that he met the Grand Knight Grover and mastered the seal of the knight, even if it was weakened. Gensoul Dakk was very happy.
Three wagons from Surdak Fort Constanyine returned to Hailansa City together. The snow on this mountain road has been pressed very hard, and the road surface is hard and slippery, especially when crossing the mountains.
Of course, along the way, there is Aphrodite on these dangerous terrain and bad weather. She will return to Hailanza with the carriage team.
Soon after Surdak left the city, he chose to leave the team and end the call directly. Then he stepped into the virtual door and returned to the treasure room.
Compared with the cold wind in the mountains and forests, it is much more comfortable in the secret room.
Surdak returns to the treasure chamber. The red dragon Ethel has been waiting for the chamber to be impatient. He shakes his head like a hut and tries to arch Surdak with fireworks and sends out "Surdak … Ethel eats!"
Surdak took out a bag of red crystal from his magic pocket and poured it into the red dragon Ethel’s open mouth. After it slowly chewed the red crystal on the platform with its huge head, Surdak had a class. He taught the red dragon the 22nd rune and understood an imperial language. Ethel quickly shrank his head back and let it go.
I haven’t been to the sulfur mine for a while. Surdak left the treasure chamber and walked out of the lava mine.
Outside the mine, the sulfur mine in the lava river has been mined by the kobold slaves. The kobold slaves are gathering on the lava waterfall, and they want to bypass the lava waterfall to form a narrow fault and climb to the sulfur mine.
When Surdak came out of the lava mine, these Kobayashi slaves had been studying here for three days. Unfortunately, no simple method has been worked out yet. Kobayashi slaves are trying to build a rope ladder to climb directly to the fault plane of lava waterfall. Although this rope ladder is very simple to build, it is inconvenient for all Kobayashi slaves to climb along the ladder.
But if you rely on the ladder every day, how many sulfur mines can you collect!
At this time, five village supervisors also tried to find a way together with kobolds and slaves.
Although there is no good idea yet, Surdak ordered these kobold slaves to move the mine camp to a flat hillside next to the lava waterfall.
Although the smoke is rolling here, the smell of pungent sulfur is everywhere, and the hot lava can be seen everywhere. Occasionally, salamanders climb out of the mine, which is very dangerous. However, if you want to explore the lava river and swim in the sulfur mine, you must camp here. This way, you can save a few kilometers along the lava river every day.
Chapter 644 Winter Mountain Village
It is necessary to open a new mining area after the sulfur in the stone walls on both sides of the lava river is collected by the kobold slaves.
Lava River Waterfall is located on the southern slope of Pustuca Mountain, about five kilometers away from the foot of the mountain. The slope in this area is gentle and flows upstream along the lava river. Only when the slope near the lava waterfall suddenly becomes steep, and the lava waterfall forms a cliff nearly 70 meters high. The lava flows from the top of the cliff to the lava river and comes out of the volcanic river bed. This cliff looks like the elephant in front of it, and the magma flows along the top of the elephant. As the magma cools, the river is getting higher and higher.
There is an umbrella platform 50 meters away from the waterfall. The platform can still feel the heat wave coming from the lava river. The sulfur here is pungent, dry and hot, but it is an excellent campsite for kobold slaves. The environment here will not affect their lives.
This is especially true. In winter, volcanic ash is flying all over the sky near Pustuca Mountain.
It’s a rare good season for kobold slaves here. The north wind of the ice and snow tundra crosses the purple mountain, along the blazing plain, across the Mazaro mountain and along the Pagelos mountain, until it blows to Bena province. The heavy snow mixed with volcanic ash can cool down here.
It is very simple to build a shed on Pustuca Mountain. You can carry some shale fragments to pile up the fence. If you are worried that it is not strong, you can fill the shale crevices with pozzolanic cement, and you don’t need a roof. You need to build a fence shed, put up some logs, and then spread dust cloth on the top of the shed to build the simplest temporary shed.
These timber and dust-proof cloths are all shipped from the sulfur mine at the foot of the mountain, where there are piles of sulfur mines, bags of miscellaneous grains and a few smoked pig legs. Every week, the kobold slaves can eat a ham, diced pumpkin and miscellaneous grain cakes, which is almost the best reward for the kobold slaves.
Surdak discussed with several villagers’ supervisors, but they couldn’t give any good ideas. Instead, the kobolds’ slave leader suggested to Surdak that it could lead the kobolds to cut a rock step on the cliff together, which was turned back seven times and finally embedded in the cliff.
The face of the kobold slave leader is full of wrinkles. From the front, it looks like a sand skin with a half-burned candle on his head. He knows many simple imperial languages, although his tone is a little special, but it does not affect communication at all.
He drew a confusing sketch with a blackened wooden stick.
Surdak and five villagers’ supervisors squatted aside and listened carefully to the introduction of the kobold slave leader to several villagers in Woer village. After a few years of military service, their generation lived in a deserted land. They had limited knowledge and felt that they could try it when they heard that the kobold slave leader came up with such a feasible plan. After all, it was not difficult for kobold slaves to cut rocks.
But Surdak thinks this project is a little big. I’m afraid it will take many days to dig a rock tunnel with seven turns back, and it won’t take much effort. At present, kobold slaves want to dig lava rivers and swim sulfur mines. They can walk seven kilometers from the side of the cliff to climb to the lava waterfall to collect sulfur mines on both sides of the river.
Surdak sat outside the makeshift camp and frowned at the red lava river in the distance. Some volcanic ash mixed with snow fell into the magma and suddenly turned into plumes of black gas and drifted away with the wind.
The kobold leader and five villagers’ supervisors opened and closed their dark nose with breathing, lowered their eyelids, pulled out a piece of eggplant stalk from their arms and put it in their mouth against the steaming underground river. Hit it, hit it, hit it, hit it, and the eggplant stalk came out with spicy smoke, but it seemed that the kobold leader had the best enjoyment.
Surdak wants to build a steel cable on the cliff so that sulfur mines and kobold slaves can slide down the cableway quickly, but if he wants to find a qualified steel cable, he must go to Bena blacksmith’s workshop to order root method to solve the eye problem.
"Duckducky!"
From afar, the man shouted …
Before Surdak got up, the villagers’ supervisors all ran excitedly towards the lava river bank, and the kobold slave leader also looked over there and saw Luke waving his hand at a volcanic rock in the distance.
And then strode across the black smoke-belching rock and ran quickly towards the platform.
"Oh Luke, what brings you here?"
Surdak walked up to Luke and hit him with his fist and asked with a smile.
Luke and Charlie used to take turns to manage the sulfur mine, and Charlie led craftsmen to build villas for Karl’s manor. Luke was always in charge of the mine here, and Luke was given a long vacation after Suldak came to Pustus Mountain. Many young people in the village took advantage of the autumn to marry their brides. There is no reason for Luke to eat volcanic ash in the sulfur mine.
Luke pulled pull face mask hey hey smiled and said, "After living in the village for a few days, I followed the village road team to build water and mud roads along the pustule mountain. Today, the cement road was painted and repaired to the foot of this mountain. Of course, I want to come and see you. Look over there …"
Luke pointed to a tiny black line on the distant horizon …
Obviously, there are still more than ten kilometers away from Luke’s cement road.
Surdak is halfway up the mountain. Although the view here is wide, it is necessary to distinguish carefully if you want to see the road-building kobolds and slaves in the distance.
"How many kobold slaves did you bring to build this road?" Surdak recites a rune, and it becomes clearer before he can barely see it.
Luke laughed and said, "Almost all the kobolds and slaves in the village are out! With this smooth cement road, it doesn’t take two days to get to Pustuca Mountain by four-wheeled truck from Wall Village. "
"It’s much more convenient to transport sulfur mines after doing a good job." Surdak looked back from a distance and jumped from the huge volcanic rock. "We will not only build the road from Woer Village to the volcano, but also build this cement road in various natural villages in the barren land."
It is very easy to build such a cement road in the northern part of the barren land full of volcanic ash. It is necessary to gather the volcanic ash scattered in the wilderness and build it into a roadbed, spread a layer of volcanic ash and sprinkle a layer of water, and then compact the road without him. It is as simple as repairing a pond stalk in a rice field.
The volcanic ash near the pustule volcano covers a large area of land. If the southern part of the barren land wants to build such a cement road, a large number of wagons will be used to transport the volcanic ash, and some lime powder will be added to the volcanic ash to ensure that the rainwater can quickly condense into solid concrete.
After Luke came, Surdak finally had a person to discuss. Luke suggested that the rock cliff of lava river waterfall should be built with a solid rope and tied with a hard oak board, so that the road leading to the top of the cliff could be repaired quickly.
However, the filling of rope ladder can also be regarded as a temporary plan, and a permanent passage will be built later. Since Pustuca Mountain has now become Surdak’s territory, Surdak feels it necessary to build a road along the lava river bank to come out from the waterfall cliff. Surdak finally decided to build a wooden scaffold plank road to the top of the waterfall cliff by relying on the oak on the rock wall.
"I’ll take some kobolds to cut down oak trees on Pagros Mountain, and we can also build cement roads there. After connecting Pustus Mountain with a cement road at the southern foot of Pagros Mountain, we can have a steady stream of wood, so we don’t have to cut down miscellaneous trees on Oak Ridge every time." Luke offered to share some with Surdak.
"All right," Surdak said.
Nearly a thousand Kobayashi slaves gathered in the sulfur mine, which brought a lot of pressure to the whole feed line of Woer Village.
It takes less than 15 bags of coarse grains every day to fill the belly of these kobold slaves. At present, there are not so many kobold slaves. Luke and this team of kobold slaves continue to build the cement road to the southern foot of Pagros Mountain. Otherwise, there is no flat cement road. It is also very difficult to transport the timber from the southern foot of Pagros Mountain to Pustus Mountain.
However, lava river needs ropes to build a rope ladder and ropeway for the time being.
Suldake sulfur mine has been busy for two whole days before it can be regarded as the most convenient way to transport the sulfur mine from halfway up the mountain. This is what Suldake had never expected.
……
Aphrodite returned to the mountain road in Hailansa, Constantinople, enjoying the snow scenery along the way.
Surdak is going to leave Pustuca Mountain for a while and return to Wall Village to have a look to avoid the red dragon Ethel starving. Surdak has transported nearly ten boxes of red crystals to the treasure room and told the red dragon Ethel that he intends to leave for a while.
Looking at the red dragon, I was reluctant to part with my eyes and set up a platform with a huge head. I looked pitifully at Surdak, who was preparing to open the treasure chamber. Surdak suddenly had some inexplicable emotions in his heart, but his horse reacted that the other party was a young red dragon, but he didn’t just keep cats, dogs and dogs. It was a dragon.
Surdak rode back to Wall Village on horseback, which was the seventh day since he left Fort Constanyine. On this day, Aphrodite also entered the boundary of Lanza City with the wagon train.
Riding a horse into the village entrance market seems a bit depressed, but there are still some villagers running here to practice stalls. In addition to several villagers in the village entrance market, there are also several businessmen selling groceries. The owner of the grocery store has built a simple open-air pub, and the owner of the pub has also left an adventure group in the village for the time being.
