After lunch, everyone read the rules and regulations of the Chamber of Commerce several times, and then started the afternoon work.
At this time, Liu Xiao took Rosa to the gem mine, pointed at the dark cave entrance and said: "That's it, I want to hire your tribe to help me eliminate the threats in the cave.
Don't worry, I will provide you with enough food and handy weapons before then. Of course, you must also ensure that you can successfully complete the mission. How about it? Do you believe me now?"
Rosa glanced at the dark cave, and her natural keen alertness told her that it was quite dangerous inside.
The tip of his straight nose twitched slightly, then he lowered his head and said: "Believe! Rosa believes in the master a hundred times! Rosa can take the master to our tribe now, and Rosa will convince them to come out of the forest and accept the master.
Commission!"
Liu Xiao nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, this matter should be done sooner rather than later. You should go now~! In order not to arouse the vigilance of your tribe, you will set off by yourself this time. By the way, I have some
Treat the candy as a greeting gift for the children in your tribe."
"Sugar...candy?"
Rosa was confused again this time. She felt that her new master was always surrounded by some strange and magical things. Whether it was food, use, clothing, or talking and doing, they were all different from anything she had ever seen.
People are different! They are so special and so attractive.
And the master just let her leave like this? Isn't he afraid that she will never come back?
Yes, although there is a slave contract as a guarantee between the two, most slave owners do not allow their slaves to go that far alone.
After Liu Xiao finished speaking, he saw the half-orc beauty looking coy and reluctant to speak, and said with a smile: "What's wrong? Are there any other concerns? Is it because there are too few candies?"
"Ah? No no no~! Yes...it's Rosa...is it a bit risky for the master to let me go like this?"
"Adventure?" Liu Xiao was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Oh~ my lovely one-horned girl~ why do you have such an idea?"
Liu smiled and stretched out his hand, gently rubbed Rosa's head, and smiled like a kind elder: "Didn't I say that? If you call me master, we will be a family. Since we are a family,
, then the minimum trust should still be there~! You can bring more candies back, and I will prepare some gifts for you."
Liu Xiao thought for a while, then took Rosa to Abu's cabin to get a few packs of soda crackers, put them into a satchel, and then taught the half-orc beauty how to carry a backpack.
"Go back quickly, be safe~ I'm waiting for your good news here!"
Rosa opened her big lake-green eyes and stared blankly at Liu Xiao. The fog inside was getting thicker and thicker.
"Master...Rosa will definitely live up to your trust!"
The half-orc beauty bowed deeply to Liu Xiao, then turned around and ran towards the depths of the jungle, carrying her backpack.
Her movements were fast and light, like a jumping antelope, and she disappeared from Liu Xiao's sight in a few seconds.
"As expected of the half-orc race, the speed of movement in the jungle is unparalleled! Haha~ It's so simple."
After sending Rosa away, Liu Xiao continued to return to the construction site.
He looked at the passionate but somewhat messy construction site, checked for omissions and filled them in, and wrote down what he thought of in his notebook.
Digging diversion canals is indeed a way, but it is a bit difficult to transport water from the river to the valley. Because the terrain there is uneven, with varying heights and lows, it is impossible for the water to flow upward even if you dig diversion canals.
ah.
What to do? Drill a well? But he doesn't know how...it seems that he will most likely have to use a water tanker.
After solving the water problem, the road into the valley became the second major issue that urgently needed to be solved.
As the saying goes, "If you want to be rich, build roads first."
If you want to transport the gems mined from the mine, you must build a relatively flat and easy-to-travel road! At least it must be able to allow carriages to enter and exit.
Liu Xiao thought of this, glanced at the natural lawn in the camp, and frowned unconsciously.
The grass here has been trampled to pieces by everyone, and many places have been trampled bald, forming natural paths.
However, he knew that this meant it was not raining. If there was another heavy rain, his camp would almost instantly turn into a swamp.
By then, let alone continuing to work, even walking normally will become a problem!
Therefore, the ground of the camp must also be treated.
To solve the problem of water, we need to build roads and level the ground. In the process, we have to build houses at the same time and take care of the food for dozens of people...
As he thought about it, Liu Xiao suddenly felt a little pain in his head.
He stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples, wondering if he should find two people with more professional experience than Abu and the others to share the burden?
At the same time, Rosa, who was full of energy and walking briskly, had already penetrated deep into the Forest of Despair.
The trees here are denser than those outside, with all kinds of thorns and bright and strange flowers scattered everywhere, and there is no way to go.
But even so, it did not affect Rosa's movement speed.
This forest has been her home since she was a child. She is extremely familiar with every inch of land and every tree here! It's like walking in her own back garden.
Suddenly, Rosa, who was jumping in the forest, stopped, and there was an arrow less than two meters in front of her.
"Stop! Stranger! Who are you? Don't come any closer, or the next arrow will hit your chest!"
Rosa was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that she had only been missing for a few days, so why the clan's scout who was responsible for keeping watch didn't recognize her.
"Is it Cato? I'm Rosa~! I'm back! I brought good news to the tribe! We are saved~~!"
"Rosa? Are you Rosa? How did you become like this!?"
"Swish, swish, swish~"
Three black shadows flashed past, and three men wrapped in animal skins with totem symbols painted on their bodies appeared around Rosa.
They stood in a triangular position, and the distance between the three of them was basically the same, so that they could provide support to each other immediately after encountering an emergency, or quickly escape from the scene to report to the tribe.
Rosa looked at the defensive posture of her tribe members, and felt a sense of sadness in her heart.
She forced a smile and said: "Cato, I met a benefactor! The master said that he can hire us and provide us with food, shelter, and warm bonfires! And we can get corresponding rewards for working for him! This
This is an opportunity for us jungle orcs, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
The tall and thin man named Cato was not wearing a shirt, and a complex and ferocious totem was painted on the left side of his chest.
His long, messy brown hair was tied back casually with tree bark. His facial lines were hard and his eyes were sharp. At first glance, he looked like a warrior who had experienced many battles.
"Rosa, have you forgotten your identity? You are a half-orc saint! You are the Houyi of the jungle god! You actually call those hateful humans your master? You have fallen, you have been corrupted by them! You have not
You are qualified to enter the holy land of orcs again! Get out of here~~!”
The smile that Rosa had just squeezed out was frozen on her face.
She stretched out her hand in the air and dropped it weakly. Her eyes suddenly filled with mist, and she shouted: "No! I am still a half-orc! I have not forgotten my identity~~~! Everything I have done is to continue the tribe and let the tribe continue.
No one will starve to death!
I just want everyone to have food to eat, clothing to wear, and a house to live in... no longer need to be attacked by crazy evil beasts! No need to be afraid of being hunted by humans with ulterior motives!
Isn’t this what we have been pursuing? Now this opportunity is before us... Cato, let me go! I want to see the patriarch~~ tell him all this!"
