First Lord of Earth

However, after the dragon boat landed, before they came into contact with anyone, the eyes of the four people in Xia Tian were first attracted by an item.

They were three water conservancy facilities about ten meters in length, made entirely of wood, and looked like a crawling dragon on the ground.

At this time, the "swish, swish" operation is continuously transporting the river water into the territory for drinking, bathing and irrigation!

Well, this is... a keel waterwheel?

[Keel Waterwheel (Silver)]

【Grade】Ordinary level

[Features] Water extraction efficiency +300%

[Explanation] The extremely important water-drawing agricultural tool in Chinese history began in the Eastern Han Dynasty and was improved by Ma Jun during the Three Kingdoms. Because its shape is like a keel, it is called "keel waterwheel"!

What surprised Xia Tian was not the appearance of keel waterwheels in this human camp, but the quality of these keel waterwheels.

"It's actually a silver-quality wooden utensil?"

Xia Tian was a little surprised.

You must know that without the "Midas turning stone into gold", there is a certain correlation between the quality of the item and the skill of the maker.

"Proficient" level skills create white, "Proficient" level skills create green...Silver quality generally requires "master level" skills to produce.

So there is a master carpenter in this human camp?

Xia Tian was suddenly excited.

You know, among the so-called "Eight Great Folk Craftsmen" in ancient times, the status of carpenters can be said to be unique, ranking first.

Because most ancient houses were made of wood, in addition to mastering the skills of making furniture and tools, many carpenters were also good at building buildings.

Xia Tian had been worried before that he could not rely on manpower to build high-quality buildings in his territory except for consuming luck. If he could recruit this master carpenter, he might be able to solve this problem!

"It's strange, they just put these things by the river, aren't they afraid of monsters in the water destroying them?"

At this time, Xia Tian heard Hua Rong next to him say something doubtful.

Yesterday during the summer "Eagle Cooking", Hua Rong led people to build a canal in an attempt to divert water to irrigate the spiritual fields for bone fertilizer production.

As a result, it was immediately destroyed by monsters in the water.

And if this "keel waterwheel" draws water from the water, it will continue to cause more noise than the water channel, and it will inevitably attract the attention and attack of some aquatic creatures!

"Wow..."

I don’t know if it was Hua Rong who opened his mouth today.

Just as he finished speaking, a seventh-order double-headed water snake with a body of more than ten meters and thick thighs suddenly emerged from the river. It seemed to have felt the movement of "pumping water". A faint green light emitted from its two eyes, and it looked towards Move in the direction of a keel waterwheel!

"No, there are monsters in the water that were attracted by the movement of the keel waterwheel..."

"It should be no problem. After all, there is something underneath the waterwheel..."

However, when this happened, the people in the camp didn't seem too anxious. Instead, they looked at the river with expectation.

After listening to their words, Xia Tian also curiously ran the "power of mocking the wind", a pair of eyes burned with golden red flame light, and he immediately saw the situation in the water.

On the left and right sides of a keel waterwheel below, there are actually two people wearing armor. One is holding two axes in his hands, and the other is holding a broadsword in his hand. They are wooden puppet generals that are almost like real people!

These two puppet generals themselves have no movement, just like sculptures.

But when the seventh-level blue-eyed two-headed water snake approached and crossed between the two, it wanted to attack the keel waterwheel that made the sound.

Click!

A soft sound.

It seemed like something was activated instantly.

The two wooden puppet generals seemed to suddenly come to life. Their bodies rotated rapidly, and the axes and broadswords in their hands swung violently, superimposing a blade of light and shadow in the passage.

What's more important is that the weapons of the two puppet generals were swung in very precise coordination.

"Puff puff……"

As a result, the seventh-level blue-eyed two-headed monster snake in the water was caught off guard and was chopped into snake meat segments. A large amount of blood gushes out, and it is dead!

[Water Puppet·Warrior·Cheng Yaojin (Gold)]

【Level】Ordinary level

[Characteristics] Strength and flexibility +50%

[Explanation] The battle puppet of ancient generals made of wood can use the power of water flow and mechanisms to explode with very powerful lethality!

"There is such a thing, a battle puppet driven by water flow?"

“And it’s still of golden quality!”

The expression on Xia Tian's face couldn't help but be startled.

He originally thought that this place should be a master carpenter, which was already a very high guess.

Because it is more difficult to reach the master level of a life skill like "Carpenter" that involves a wide range of skills than most combat skills.

As a result, a wooden puppet of golden quality was discovered under the water...

Could it be said that he is not a master carpenter, but a master carpenter?

"My lord? But you are interested in the water puppet under this keel waterwheel..."

A rough voice sounded.

Xia Tian raised his head and saw a man with a shiny silver boning knife hanging on his belt, who looked like a butcher and came forward first.

"Yes, these puppets are extremely exquisitely made and can automatically kill monsters in the water. It is really eye-opening!"

Xia Tian's eyes paused on the knife hanging on his waist, and then said with a smile.

Because the Eye of Insight just looked at too many people at once, so that it consumed a lot of energy, Xia Tian did not directly "expend luck" to see the other party's detailed information!

But since the first person to come in contact with him should be someone who can speak in this territory.

Moreover, Xia Tian also noticed that the other party was walking over from Zhao Yun who was holding the Zhaoye Jade Lion.

Perhaps, the situation of this territory and Zhao Yun can be known from the mouth of this "butcher".

Of course, Xia Tian was indeed very interested in the "Water Puppet". You must know that on the way here, the dragon boat was attacked by a mortal-level octopus beast commanded by the Crown Fishman.

Due to his lack of ability to fight in the water, Xia Tian could only accept the octopus meat from the other party's "tribute" and then sail away in a boat, giving in a step.

But if the territory wants to further develop, it must rely on the water source of the river, so Xia Tian feels that there will definitely be a battle with those fishmen.

If the territory can produce a large number of such puppets that can fight in the water, it will not only reduce casualties, but also increase the chance of winning a lot, which is of great significance!

"Hey, these water puppets are all made by Zhu Carpenter, and they are indeed more powerful than real people when they fight."

"If those monsters and beasts that looked like lizards hadn't arrived from the land the day before yesterday... it wouldn't have been that easy to get close to us!"

"Chef Ding", who had a shiny silver boning knife hanging on his waist, pointed at "Carpenter Zhu" who was also walking up next to him.

"Well, so young?"

After seeing the carpenter who made the golden-quality military commander puppet, Xia Tian couldn't help but be stunned.

You must know that this man's age seems to be in his early twenties, similar to that of a recent college graduate, and his skin is even more delicate and tender. He really doesn't look like the "master carpenter" in his mind.

Xia Tian couldn't help but "consume his luck" and check the other party's detailed information!

[Zhu Youxiao (silver)]

[Level] Level 9 (Soul Limit)

[Talent] Carpenter Emperor (can quickly grasp the production principle of a wooden utensil through contact and appreciation, and imitate it)

[Characteristics] Architectural Genius (the houses made are more exquisite and comfortable, and the characteristics and effects are improved), Puppetry (loving puppetry, the puppets produced have higher spirituality and combat effectiveness)

[Skills] Carpentry (Master), Equestrian (Expert)...

[Remarks] A peak-level master is only one step away from being a master of carpentry skills.

"Well, it turns out to be this one, no wonder!"

Xia Tian's face revealed some surprises.

Who is Zhu Youxiao? Of course it is the "Carpenter Emperor" of the Ming Dynasty!

Xia Tian rummaged through the records of this emperor in the history books in his memory.

"God is clever, but not human beings... He is good at small plays, and he is good at building houses. He is good at making axes, saws and chisels, even if he is a skilled craftsman. He is also good at painting, and he is good at using utensils with his hands. He is impatient... , If you do something, it will be accomplished in the morning and evening.”

These records are very consistent with the attributes of the "Carpenter Zhu" in front of him.

Especially in the two aspects of "building houses" and "making puppets", Zhu Youxiao is even more famous.

It is said that he not only acted as a carpenter himself and directed the reconstruction of the palace, but also produced a large number of miniature palace models. They were only three or four feet tall, but had subtle twists and turns and were ingenious.

He can be called the earliest figure expert.

In addition to "building a house", the carpenter emperor's favorite thing is to watch and make "water puppets". He uses light wood to carve images of overseas Siyi, Manshan immortals, generals and soldiers, etc., and floats them on the water. On the show, the impact of water flow is used to choreograph various movements and deduce different plots, such as "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", "Sun Wukong Havoc in Heaven", etc.

In this way, the "golden military commander puppet" just seen in the water can be explained. With the blessing of "characteristics", even master craftsmen have a chance to produce golden props!

Of course, in history, Emperor Tianqi was too immersed in carpentry work and delegated a large part of his power to the eunuch "Wei Zhongxian" around him.

The final consequences, of course, needless to say.

Obviously, like Li Ru, he should be one of those historical figures who is judged by the will of the earth as "hard to distinguish between merit and demerit" or even "fault outweighs merit".

Therefore, he did not pass the "Secret Realm Challenge" link, but came directly to the Eternal Land!

Moreover, judging from the name of the person suspected of being "butcher", he probably made the same choice of "hiding his name" like Li Ru. Now his identity is no longer "Emperor Apocalypse", but just a "Carpenter Zhu" .

Speaking of which, Xia Tian once thought about it once, what would it be like for the ancient emperor to come to the eternal land?

The first emperor I saw now was a bit surprising.

The "Carpenter Zhu" in front of him seemed very low-key and did not introduce himself to his family. He even felt a little uneasy when facing him.

Who would have thought that this master-level carpenter would be the former Emperor Qi of the Great Tomorrow?

"He won't recognize my identity, right?"

In fact, Zhu Youxiao was indeed feeling a little uneasy.

His identity can be hidden from the people around him, but it cannot be hidden from the "lord".

At least, the previous lord of this territory recognized him directly!

However, the other party didn't care about his identity or past deeds, and even helped him hide it, allowing him to truly become a carpenter in the territory.

To be honest, Zhu Youxiao also preferred the identity of "carpenter" to being an emperor.

This may sound incredible...

Perhaps only those who have truly experienced all kinds of weird things in the Ming Dynasty court, such as "falling into the water and being frightened into falling ill, and old illnesses relapsing and dying" can understand how precious it is to live again and be able to do the things you love most!

"Carpenter Zhu, besides these, have you made anything else?"

At this time, Zhu Youxiao heard Xia Xia's words, raised his head suddenly, and found Xia Xia asking with a smile on his face.

Since Zhu Youjian is willing to remain anonymous as a "Zhu Carpenter", it is naturally impossible for Xia Tian to reveal his identity in front of everyone.

After all, this is a man who is comparable to a master in some aspects!

"Lord, please look..."

After hearing Xia Tian's name, Zhu Youxiao was a little excited.

He opened a wooden box that he carried with him, took out some things from it, formed a crossbow with a slightly unique shape, and handed it to Xia Tian to see.

[Seven-star repeating crossbow (blue)]

[Level] Metamorphosis

[Characteristics] Tracking (the shot arrow is within a certain distance, and the trajectory can be slightly adjusted by relying on mental power)

[Explanation] The small repeating crossbow made by "Zhu Carpenter" imitated the Zhuge Liannu and made certain changes on it. It can continuously fire seven crossbow arrows each time!

"Well, it turns out to be an extraordinary crossbow?"

Xia Tian's face moved.

Although, it is only of blue quality, which is inferior to the "Keel Waterwheel" and "Puppet".

But this is an extraordinary level weapon!

You must know that compared to ordinary-level weapons that only differ in strength, sharpness, range, etc., extraordinary-level weapons contain certain extraordinary characteristics!

The value cannot be compared with ordinary weapons.

Moreover, another very important point is that in order to make a weapon of the extraordinary level, you first need to obtain the core materials of the extraordinary level.

Because Shen Lian's challenge was successful, Xia Tian's territory already had the "Divine Arm Crossbow Divine Level Blueprint", which could theoretically be used to make the Mortal Level Divine Arm Crossbow.

But because the ordinary wood around the territory has not been integrated recently, even if it absorbs the "spiritual rain" that fell from the sky before, it has not been able to advance into transformation materials in a short period of time!

In addition, there are no relevant manufacturing personnel who have mastered the art of transformation in the territory, so the drawings can only be "shelved" temporarily!

Now, things seem to be turning around.

This "Seven-Star Repeating Crossbow" is the same as the Divine Arm Crossbow. Its core materials are wood and animal tendons. Does it mean that there is extraordinary-level wood near this territory?

"The lord has misunderstood. There is no mortal-level wood found near the territory."

However, the first half of Zhu Youjian's answer made Xia Tian a little disappointed.

"But I have the ability to transform ordinary-level wood into extraordinary-level wood, and even make its properties meet my requirements!"

But the second half of the sentence that followed made his expression move.

"Good guy? Do you also have the Midas touch?"

Of course, this is just a joke in Xia Tian's heart.

In fact, after Zhu Youjian finished speaking, Xia Tian had already guessed what the other party was relying on.

Being a silver hero definitely does not come from "supernatural power". The only explanation is that he followed this carpenter emperor to the eternal land of "accompanied wonders"!

The number in this chapter is smaller because it is a split chapter.

But the next chapter is still a little unfinished... Staying up late these past few days is a bit unbearable.

I'm going to adjust my time, go to bed first, and then write again when I get up.

So, I have to wait until tomorrow morning, I will try my best to get there as early as possible.
