Author: Half-wounded but not broken

A stone fell from the top of the mountain and rolled almost silently to the slope near the foot of the mountain.

A small stone with nothing strange about it probably won't attract anyone's attention. It just stays there so ordinary and lonely, waiting for the wind and rain to wash away it.

Until one foot accidentally kicked it away.

"Your Majesty the Demon King, go this way."

Ravna led the way, and Perrenli wiped the sweat from his head. Although it was rare for a sunny day to visit the sea of ​​trees, the scorching sun that showed its presence without restraint was really unacceptable, and the spell to endure environmental damage was almost ineffective.

Already.

The attack on the golem workshop in the Republic of Tula happened three days ago.

The Golem Workshop is like a treasure house to Pei Renli, but Pei Renli still underestimated the wealth of the treasure house.

Among them, there are twenty-five assembled golems and nearly a hundred assembled golems. This should be due to the National Day holiday of the Republic of Tula, and the finished products were not shipped in time.

To use an easy-to-understand metaphor, Pei Renli was equivalent to taking away 25 main battle tanks and 100 infantry fighting vehicles.

However, both the golem and the golem are somewhat different from what Perenli saw in the school underground. The change in the golem is not very big, but without the function of emitting explosive crystals, the difference in the golem is very big.

All the golems are not covered with artificial skin and are completely made of human-shaped metal. They look like mannequins. I wonder if they are not finished yet.

Since Ravna can control golems and golems, these finished products were activated immediately and acted as porters to carry other loot.

There are a large number of spare parts and unassembled armor plates, as many as sixty alchemy cores, and already smelted metal ingots. These things can fill two warehouses.

In addition, there are the smelting blast furnace used in the workshop, the mechanical structure and bearings of the waterwheel, the rams used for stamping parts, etc. Even if it is too heavy to move, Pei Renli has drawn the drawings of them all.

This part of the harvest is actually more important than the golem. After all, neither the lizard nor the fishman know how to smelt and forge. They are currently using wooden and stone tools. When metal can be smelted to make metal utensils, the production

Efficiency will be significantly improved.

In line with the principle of "come and come", the weapons and armor equipped by the soldiers, even the hammers and other tools used by the workshop technicians at work, were not left behind, and everything that could be taken was taken away.

Let's put it this way, in addition to the bricks and the corpses of the guards, even a change of clothes was packed away in the workshop...

Of course, it's fun to grab things, but the consequences are very troublesome.

In order to avoid being tracked, Pei Renli divided his concealment work into two parts.

Shapeshifting spiders are masters of camouflage. They will clean up footprints and marks, especially when carrying heavy objects, leaving deep footprints on the soft forest floor that are all too obvious.

Besides, there was that avalanche.

To be honest, there is nothing magical about it. Perrenli made twenty alchemical bombs and asked Ravna to place them on the highest mountain range next to the workshop in advance.

After they finished grabbing everything and ran away, Pei Renli detonated the bomb through the shadow clone left next to the alchemy bomb.

Explosions can cause avalanches, avalanches can cause rock avalanches, and rock collapse can directly cause landslides.

When people in the Republic of Tula discovered that the workshop was gone, their first reaction must have been that it was bad luck. The workshop was too close to the snow-capped mountains and was destroyed by a natural disaster.

Due to the huge temperature difference between the foot of the mountain and the mountain, the snow should melt soon, and the people of the Tula Republic will soon discover the abnormality of the corpse and the disappearance of the inventory in the workshop.

But if I try to catch up at that time, I will never be able to catch up.

The looted items are still on the way, and they won't reach the Demon King's City quickly. Pei Renli doesn't have time to follow them slowly.

But Pei Renli gave clear instructions on the route, asking them to make a slight circle, go to the core area in the middle of the sea of ​​trees, and then circle back to the Falling Star Lake from there.

Even if the traces are eliminated, there is no guarantee whether there is any magic or other power that can track them. Pei Renli was still worried after confirming that there were no tracking spells on all the trophies, so he decided on this transportation route.

In this way, even if the people of the Tula Republic could track it, they would not dare to track it. The monsters in the central area of ​​the big tree sea were strong enough to make many people from the Tula Republic kneel down.

It is expected that it will take at least seven or eight days before he returns, and during this period, neither Pei Renli nor his people will be idle.

With the scorching sun in the sky, simply walking on a mountain road would make you feel unbearably hot, but compared to Pei Renli, the fish and lizard people should have a harder time enduring it.

The current total number of lizardmen is about seven hundred. Thanks to Pei Renli, who had asked the fishmen to store a lot of smoked food, it was completely effortless to accept the lizardmen and shape-shifting spiders, and the food consumption was within a controllable range.

However, lizardmen also need a house, more urgently than fishmen.

During heavy rains, they need a dry place to prevent the rain from taking away their body temperature. When it is cold, they also need a fire to maintain the temperature. A house is essential.

What most lizardfolk are doing is building houses.

Anyway, there is a forest not far from the Falling Star Lake. There are plenty of trees. You can also dig high-quality stones at the foot of the mountain on the other side of the Falling Star Lake. Building materials are easier to come by than in the swamp where the Lizardmen originally lived.

But having said that, I can’t praise the lizard man’s construction ability, but it’s better than the fish man’s shack, and probably a lot worse than thatched house.

Therefore, Pei Renli did not make any plans for their construction area. In his opinion, it cannot be regarded as a place for people to live. It will definitely be better to demolish it and build something better in the future.

As for now, there is really no need for it, and Pei Renli really doesn't want to spend time studying architecture if he has nothing to worry about.

Another group of lizardmen took over the work of the murlocs cooking silk grass, and the efficiency was about 50% higher than that of the murlocs who were afraid of heat. Of course, the liberated murlocs were not idle either. They were cooking the silk grass.

The filaments are twisted into thread and then used to weave fishing nets.

Pei Renli really didn't know how to knit. He searched the school library and couldn't find any records in this area. He had to use the excuse of "I want to make a net-shaped magic item" to ask all his classmates. In the end,

I learned detailed weaving techniques from a classmate who came from a fisherman's family, and drew a pattern and gave it to the fishman.

The fishmen are indeed very good at handicrafts. Their fingers are much more dexterous than the lizardmen, and they can weave fine fishing nets after a few exercises.

In addition to the work of burning fires, lizardmen also took over a lot of heavy manual labor.

They were wielding hoes and shovels on the side of Meteor Lake and were digging a large pool. However, they only used wooden tools, so the progress of the work was relatively slow.

The pool is used to raise fish fry. Pei Renli checked the fish books, compared the fish species living in the meteor lake, and found a freshwater fish called silver-scaled fish. This fish grows quickly and has plump flesh. From fry to adult fish,

It only takes 3 to 4 months, much faster than crucian carp.

Pei Renli plans to first try raising this kind of fish using cage fish farming methods. If successful, he can develop from fishing to fish farming, and the food source will be more stable.

But again, crops are the undisputed overlord in terms of food. Teaching lizards and fishmen how to farm is obviously more important.

In addition to building houses and digging pits, the lizardmen also continued to cultivate farmland. Currently, they were planting shrubs and silk grass that could bear fruit quickly. Pei Renli wanted to find a high-yielding crop.

For example, potatoes, sweet potatoes, soybeans, corn and the like.

The seeds of this kind of crops are basically kept in the hands of farmers. Pei Renli can easily find them if he wants to, but he really has no reason to go to farmers to buy them. After all, an adventurer mage suddenly ran to the farmer's house and said he wanted to buy crop seeds.

, this is very strange.

There is Alisee watching in the school, and Naspar may also have a secret stake in the Sword of Salvation. Perrenli finally cleared himself of suspicion through the Randall incident. Any abnormal behavior that would arouse suspicion is

Risky.

Since the outstanding crops that had been bred were temporarily unavailable, Pei Renli decided to start with wild crops. At the same time, he could also let the fishmen and lizardmen practice their planting techniques.

He asked his teacher for leave today in the name of purchasing potion ingredients. After leaving school, he did go to the warehouse first. The "Bald Mouse" magic shop in Muxing City also had a clerk here. Pei Renli showed him the order list and placed an order.

Then he turned around and slipped into an alley where no one was passing. After making sure that no one was following or seeing him, he let Ravna use her teleportation ability.

Considering that he had to not draw attention to himself, Pei Renli had about two or three hours of activity in total. Going back late could be interpreted as wanting to wander around the street. If he didn't go back for too long, he would arouse suspicion.

His current location is just to the left of Falling Star Lake. There is a huge mountain blocking it. The maid golem is guarding the settlement of lizards and fishmen. On the one hand, if they have problems, they can respond through the maid golem.

It's to prevent someone from sneaking out.

Therefore, Pei Renli does not need to be invisible, as no one will see his true body.

So far, Pei Renli's notebook has recorded four or five kinds of wild plants, which should be used for planting to provide food. The most surprising thing is the discovery of cassava.

It is easy to grow and cultivate. It can be planted in all seasons and is very high-yielding. It is also the king of starch.

The environment of the sea of ​​trees is also very suitable for cassava to survive, which can greatly solve the food problem.

"Your Majesty the Demon King, those are the trees in front."

Since Ravna didn't know what kind of plants were useful, when Pei Renli asked her to order the maid golem to search for resources around the Demon King's City, he reminded Ravna that she needed to pay attention to plants that would bear fruit and have swollen and thick roots. This was likely to happen.

Become a food source.

There are a few scattered trees growing on the hillside, all of which meet this screening criteria.

"This tree can produce purple-black fruits. I have eaten them once. They should not be poisonous."

"Mulberries, although they can bear fruit, they are not suitable."

The purple-black fruit Ravna mentioned is mulberry.

The yield of this thing is too low, and it is difficult to pick. It is barely used as a supplementary food. Planting it on a large scale is not worth the gain, and it is not as good as the wild apple trees I saw not long ago.

Seeing that Perenli was not satisfied, Ravna led Perenli to several other trees growing close to the hillside:

"This is also a tree that can bear fruit, but the fruit is not delicious. The cores are large and numerous, and there is almost no pulp."

But this time, Pei Renli looked up and down at the red and purple fruits and said in surprise:

"Damn it, this can't be coffee, right?"
