My Magic Age

Chapter 745 245. Drinking porridge

It rolled in the air, and was carried into the sky by the vortex in the heat flow. A spider warrior ran over from under it in panic, and the flames on the spider warrior's head ignited it all at once. It was ignited in the air all at once, and in just a moment, a ball of blue flames burst out on its body, and then in less than a second, it turned into ashes in the air, was blown away by the hot wind, and rolled higher into the sky.

The orc warriors lying on the stone roof saw the red silk fluttering in the wind. They were spraying corpse fire oil into the training ground against the heat wave the previous second, and then decisively closed the pipeline valve the next second, untied the water bag from their waists, and poured a bag of cold water on the nozzle of the hot flamethrower. The nozzle that had been burned red instantly emitted a large amount of white water vapor.

At the same time, a large amount of water vapor emerged from the roofs on the north side of the entire parade ground, completely covering the figures on the roofs. Little did they know that at this moment, the orcs who were spraying flames on the roofs had already jumped down swiftly and ran towards the tavern at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

Kalancuo carried me on his back and ran into the basement of the tavern behind the orc warriors.

I happened to see Qi Ge standing on a chair, with her feet raised and lying on the only skylight in the basement, looking curiously at the parade ground through a piece of transparent glass. Behind her stood the lizard maid Takama, who was carefully helping her hold the chair.

Qi Ge looked back and saw me lying on Kalancuo's back with her arms around me. Her curved eyebrows were slightly raised, and her eyes that could speak suddenly became very bright. She held Takama's hand and jumped down from the back of the chair lightly. She walked in front of me, wrinkled her cute little nose, turned around me, and saw that I was not injured. She stretched out her hand and pinched my ear without hesitation, pulling me off Kalancuo.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you really going to stay there for the rest of your life?" Qi Ge bit her lips with her white teeth, which exuded a charming flavor. That kind of willful and willful look returned to her.

She is a dignified magic potion lecturer in the Royal Magic Academy classroom. She is also a well-known scholar of magic potion who is crazy about experiments in the laboratory of the Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute. She is a princess of the noble United Kingdom of Etia, and also the fiancée of Prince Wales, the seventh heir to the Green Empire. She has many identities and can show different personalities in various occasions, but I know that none of them are her own.

My memory of her still stays at the moment when we first met. At that time, she was thin and frail, wearing an ordinary long skirt. I called her Xiao Chai Niu.

"Ouch, can you be gentle? Be careful that my ear is pulled off!" I deliberately acted in pain and screamed loudly. In fact, her soft and white hand was just touching my ear for show.

Seeing that I cooperated with her tactfully, she raised a smug smile at the corner of her mouth.

At this time, Kalancuo had entered the portal earlier. She would definitely not watch me and Qige playing so ambiguously.

The lizard maid Takama standing by just stood by and looked at us curiously. She seemed to be unable to understand the interaction between me and Qige. Perhaps young men and women in the lizard tribe would not do this normally.

Only Katarina would laugh without scruples: "Haha!"

Sure enough, she is much bolder now than before. She dared to laugh out loud in front of Qige.

Luka and the dwarf warrior Bernd walked in from the back. Bernd was startled at first, then immediately lowered his head and stepped into the portal quickly.

The tauren Luka did not react so quickly. He looked at it in surprise for a moment, then silently covered his eyes with a big hand, and then said to himself: "Oh oh oh! I didn't see anything, Bernd, didn't you? Hey, wait for me, it turns out you can run so fast, hey, wait for me..."

Luka said while groping and walked into the portal.

Through the glass window on the top of the basement, through the flames and billowing smoke, the spider warriors on the parade ground looked restless in the fire circle. Without the flame spray suppression of the orc warriors on the north side of the parade ground, they began to try to charge northward. At this time, the thin layer of ice in the magic box placed on the stone platform in the center of the parade ground finally melted completely. The magic box, which was originally made of loose metal plates, broke into pieces in front of the two spider commanders at this moment...

The layers of wooden frames inside were like egg trays. There were coconut-sized fire phosphorus bombs sandwiched between those wooden frames. There were two layers, each layer had eight fire phosphorus bombs, and a total of sixteen. The most important thing was that at the moment when the magic box cracked, the magic pattern array on each fire phosphorus bomb was activated, and the rich breath of fire element began to spread outward.

No matter how stupid the two spider commanders were, they knew they were trapped. With a roar, a giant spider as big as a mountain appeared behind the spider commanders, and a thick black mist spread out from their bodies.

‘Protective Qi’

I didn’t dare to look any further. The fire phosphorus bombs were on the verge of detonation. Seeing the last orc warriors also entered the portal, I didn’t dare to delay.

“Hurry up and go in! Auntie, it will be too late if you are late.” After I said that, I suddenly hugged Qi Ge, and then pulled her into the portal and entered the underground warehouse of Xinliu Valley.

Before I pulled Qige off the altar, Catalina and Takama stepped out of the portal one after another.

Seeing Catalina follow us in, I turned to her and asked: "Katrina, you have given instructions to Knight Disraeli and Quartermaster Felix, right?"

Her long, fluffy and soft red hair beat like fire as she walked.

Catalina pursed her lips slightly, like a blooming red rose. She said to me: "Well, I told them our plan personally. Lord Felix will evacuate those who are too late from the north city gate." The soldiers of the Troum guards and the heavy armored infantry regiment who went out should all hide in the warehouse on the cliff of Troum Mountain. There is enough space there and there should be enough time. "

"..."

I was stunned and speechless for a moment. It turned out that their way of avoiding the explosion of fire phosphorus bombs was to move all the defenders on the north wall to the cliff warehouse. When I think about the true power of fire phosphorus bombs, I feel a little weak.

I whispered: "I hope that cave is strong enough!"

This sentence made Catalina seem to have heard what a funny joke. She laughed and asked me: "Are you still worried that Mount Trum will collapse?"

I was about to answer Catalina's question when I heard Qige standing under the altar with her arms folded and shouting dissatisfiedly: "Why are you two still complaining about me on the altar? Why don't you come down?"

Catalina smiled sweetly at me, shrugged her shoulders, and immediately agreed: "Coming."

She turned around and suddenly performed a 'jump', and her body suddenly disappeared in front of me. At the same time, a not-too-regular void gap suddenly opened next to Qige, and Katarina's body flexibly slipped through it. He came out and stood beside Qige obediently. His agility and flexibility made the orc warriors on the side stunned.

I can think of what the orc warriors are thinking at this moment. They must be thinking: How will they deal with such an assassin who can cross time and space at short distances and accurately? But it seems that in addition to having keen perception, Besides, there is really no good way to deal with it, except to wrap yourself up like an iron bucket.

When I came to the underground cave again, I discovered that there were some changes almost every day. The most obvious one was the altar section of the cave. There were no traces of the original natural cave at all. The cave walls here had been transformed by the dwarf Bernd. Just like the cloister, every ten meters away, there will be a pair of huge round stone pillars with a diameter of more than two meters rising from the ground.

The original style of the cave wall between these stone pillars can no longer be seen. This section is completely made of granite stone strips and is more than three meters high. Copper oil lamps are inserted into the wall, and there are flames burning inside. The lights near the altar looked bright, and it seemed that the dwarves really had a wealth of underground fortification methods. This section of the cave had been decorated by Bernd, and it really looked like a corridor in an ancient castle.

After walking forward for a while, I actually saw two bronze metal doors in front. These two doors were seven or eight meters high. There were actually some exquisite reliefs on them, but the relief patterns were obviously very rough and looked like It is a landform of eight hundred miles of mountains and rivers on the ground of Xinliu Valley.

There are two orc warriors standing on both sides of the copper door. Unexpectedly, Bernd actually built the cave of the altar into a relatively independent space. With this copper door, I finally hid my biggest secret in Xinliu Valley in a stone house. inside.

We walked out of the stone gate and were immediately stunned by the lively scene outside the stone gate. Countless torches were lit in the cave. The indigenous people from the Hierro plane were scattered in the cave. Those indigenous people actually The craftsmen are doing their work. They are building walls with white granite stone strips. The preliminary construction of huge stone pillar supports has been completed in this section of the rock cave. Now they only need to build up the stone walls on both sides and then pave the ground. On the bluestone.

Looking at the hard work of the indigenous people, I felt completely subverted in my heart.

I have been busy with the war in Trum recently, so I haven’t paid attention to Xinliu Valley for a while, so it’s only now that I started to carefully look at the underground cave again. I asked the dwarf Bernd: In such a short time, Just how was it possible to transform this place into what it is?

Bernd touched his big red nose proudly and said to me in a mysterious manner: I will know it myself later.

Later, Bernd laughed heartily and said: These indigenous people are natural construction craftsmen, and they have a strong understanding of bricklaying work.

He led me through the construction area. I watched curiously as the indigenous people moved the granite strips and built the wall diligently, and I became even more curious about how Bernd did it.

Bernd walked up to an elderly Aboriginal man who was holding a hanging wire and measuring whether the wall he built was vertical. When the middle-aged Aboriginal man saw Bernd's appearance, he looked very respectful and even took out a sheepskin from his arms. Zhi, using blunt imperial language, asked Bernd many trivial questions about architecture, and then the two of them had some exchanges on the layout of this section of the cave.

Finally, Bernd stood on tiptoe and patted the native man on the shoulder and earnestly told him: "There is no division between day and night in the underground cave. You must follow the time hourglass and strictly arrange your work and rest time. Pay attention to letting the workers rest. Every time the hourglass fills up a grid, you must rest for a while. Every time six grids are filled, you must prepare for meals. When twelve grids are filled, the hourglass must be turned over. All workers must rest."

The middle-aged native nodded repeatedly.

On the edge of this section of the cave construction site, there are several large iron pots, with pieces of leftover wood burning underneath. Barley porridge is cooked in the large iron pots. I can smell the wheat aroma wafting from the pot. Several strong native women are stirring the porridge pot with large wooden sticks. The thick barley porridge inside has a sweet smell.

Several native children squatted next to the large iron pot, watching the native women cooking porridge with eager eyes, and their saliva was flowing on their feet.

I saw that those big pots were mostly filled with barley porridge, and there were no shelves for baking bread around them, so I asked Bernd in surprise: "Why don't you give them a pig leg or something? Cook some meat porridge, what can such thin porridge satisfy? What about the wheat cakes I left in the warehouse?"

At this time, Bernd rubbed his hands and said to me proudly: "Lord Jijia, if you didn't see it with your own eyes, you probably couldn't imagine how much these Yero natives like to drink porridge. It's not that I don't give them wild boar legs, but they don't want to add any meat to the porridge."

Seeing that Bernd didn't tell me directly why those natives worked so hard, but instead showed me their simple meals.

I had an idea, but I still couldn't believe it, so I asked Bernd tentatively: "You mean, these people work so hard just to drink a mouthful of porridge?"

Unexpectedly, Bernd nodded very clearly, touched his beard with his hand and said: "That's right!"

"..." I didn't know what to say, and thought to myself: Are these natives vegetarians?

Bernd said to me again: "However, Lord Jijia, there is one thing I must mention to you. Although Kalancuo told me that now is not a good time to talk about this, I think, as the lord of Xinliu Valley, you have the right to know this."

I looked at Bernd in confusion.

Then I heard him say again: "The food in our underground warehouse will not last long, at most it can only last for half a month."

Yes, I realized that I really ignored this matter. After 700 natives entered the underground cave, I originally reserved food for the orc warriors to eat for half a year, and at the same time I had to feed 700 natives. The speed of food consumption suddenly increased by six or seven times, which means that these foods can only last for more than a month. No wonder these natives can only drink porridge.
