Lord of the Nine Realms

Chapter 144
"Anyway, this man is sick, and I can steal his whole fish basket later."

Er Falcon made up his mind and was ready to take action, but the man below went crazy. He took off his outer robe and waded into the river shivering.

After taking three steps into the river, he fell into the river with a plop. Maybe it was because the water was too deep.

The river was not wide, but it was still very fast. The man was swept up and down by the river, shouting: So... poof... it's cold, help... Gudong... I really can't hold on!
The second falcon was dumbfounded in the air: Are you showing this to me?This is too fake.

However, the man was really desperate and tried to swim towards the shore. It seemed that his feet were entangled in water plants and he could not move. After a while, his screams for help disappeared.

"Let me go and save him."

The second falcon swooped down from the sky and grabbed the man's hair with its big claws: "Use your own strength, hurry up."

Lao Gangtou was not in the mood to care about who saved him at the moment. He desperately shook off the water plants on his legs and swam towards the shore with the help of the second falcon.

"Bird, big bird?"

"A big bird actually saved me?"

The old Gangtou who came ashore squatted down in the haystack, trembling badly.

Er Falcon tilted his head and glanced at him: "Okay, get dressed quickly. I'll eat two of your fish and give you money later."

Ordinary civilians are definitely startled when they see the big talking bird. The old man is a little bit better, because he got the advice of Master Qin in advance, and he can be regarded as the survivor of the catastrophe, and his heart is more excited.

Er Falcon jumped over and saw that there were more than a dozen fish in the fish basket. He was not polite and drank three of them.

"Eat, it's okay, eat more, it doesn't cost any money."

Lao Gangtou put on his clothes and sat down next to him. Fortunately, he had been "smart" enough to take off his clothes and jump into the river, otherwise he would have almost frozen to death.

"I won't eat you for free, I have the money."

Er Falcon ate another fish, took a step back and said, "You might as well sell me the basket, and I'll take all the fish back."

Er Falcon's idea is very simple: Although he hasn't contacted other supplies, he can still get a dozen fish back to make a deal. At least he has met a fisherman, and he can buy fish for a long time in the future to give everyone a change of taste.

"Oh! This is the windfall that Mr. Qin said."

Lao Gangtou had some idea in his mind and said sheepishly: "Logically speaking, you saved me and you shouldn't ask for money. But I have an 80-year-old mother and a 20-year-old daughter-in-law at home. It's not easy. You can do it a little bit." Just give me some ideas."

Er Falcon shook the bag tied around his neck: You can take it yourself.

Lao Gangtou looked at Er Falcon's big body and was a little scared. He trembled and grabbed a handful from inside. There were copper plates and silver coins.

He lowered his head and counted. Six silver coins and seventeen copper coins were quite a lot. He couldn't make this money in three months.

"Wait a moment, I still have fishing nets, and I'll get you some more."

Lao Gangtou himself felt embarrassed. Six silver coins were 300 coppers, which could buy at least a hundred fish. Moreover, the fish he caught were not big, mostly small fish under half a catty, and very few fish over one catty.

Er Falcon didn't say anything. After all, a dozen and a half big fish were really not many, and he didn't show his face when he took them back.

Lao Gangtou shivered as he fished, and Er Falcon occasionally ate one next to him. Anyway, it was still early, so he was not in a hurry.

There were not many fish in the river. Lao Gangtou changed places and only caught seven or eight fish. When he was about to change places to cast the net, the big bird next to him spoke.

"Old man, do you know anyone in the county?"

"Yes! I go to the county town all year round to sell fish, and I often deliver fish to noble people and restaurants. I know some of them from the poor to the rich."

Er Falcon looked up and down at the old gangtou in front of him in surprise. He didn't expect that this guy had a lot of connections.

"Okay! Do you know any merchants who sell grain or cloth? If you do, help me contact one or two, and I will give you two gold coins as a reward."

Lao Gangtou was so happy that he almost jumped up. This is the real windfall!

"Okay, okay, no problem!"

"But you have to give me three days. I will go to the county to contact you and try to contact more people."

Er Falcon shook his head: "The fewer people who know about this, the better. You'd better contact only one. If there are more, it will be troublesome."

"Okay, okay! How about we meet here in three days?"

"Okay, I'm leaving."

The second falcon spread its wings and flew low in the air, grabbed the fish basket and disappeared for a moment.

Old Gangtou jumped up happily by the river: "I've made a fortune. I didn't expect that I, Old Gangtou, would be where I am today."

…………

Last night I had a long conversation with Luo Xue, mainly discussing the upgrade of spiritual plants. In the end, the two decided to be on the safe side and upgrade the first-level spiritual plants to the second level first, so that they would have a higher chance of survival in winter.

After Er Falcon left, Chen Yuansheng began to upgrade the spiritual plant.

First, upgrade the remaining six bottle trees to half a level; then upgrade two green cherry spirit flame grasses and two star and moon spirit gathering grasses to the second level; four red flame burnt trees and two star leaf grasses are upgraded to the second level. Half a level.

[Red Flame Scorched Wood] Realm: First level spiritual plant (upgrade progress 50%)

These only used 32 attribute points in total, and the tree shepherd profession was also promoted to lv3 (0/10).

Chen Yuansheng hesitated for a while, and used four attribute points to upgrade the Qiancui tea tree, because the germination rate of the seeds in the tomb of the warlock is the lowest.

【Qian Fei Tea Tree】

Realm: Level 25 spiritual plant (upgrade progress [-]%)

There are still 320 attribute points in the system panel, and Chen Yuansheng decided to upgrade Niu Tiechui, Huyan, and Menghu.

We walked to Mr. Xu's simple blacksmith shop. There was no roof here, only three earth walls, covered with straw bunks to block the wind and sand.

At this time, more than a dozen people were talking around an iron wheel with a diameter of five feet, as if the focus of the criticism was Yang Xiaoyang.

Seeing Lord Chen come in, everyone turned around to say hello.

First we exchanged pleasantries, then Chen Yuansheng looked around: "Where's Niu Tiehammer?"

Someone shouted loudly, and not long after, Kung Fu Niu Tiechui came over from outside and said in a loud voice: Lord Chen, are you looking for me?
Chen Yuansheng looked at Mr. Xu and said with a smile: "I'm here to fulfill my promise. I promoted Niu Tiechui today. Mr. Xu, find someone to call Hu Yan and his fierce tiger, and I will promote them together."

The new alchemists here and the people they brought are very curious. They have never heard that humans can advance orcs.

After watching Lord Chen touch Niu Tiechui's head for a while, Niu Tiechui's muscles all over his body began to tremble, shake, and make creaking sounds. The group of people retreated in fright.

Bull Iron Hammer: Bronze Warrior (upgrade progress 0%)

Niu Tiechui, who had completed his promotion, made a pop and knelt down on one knee: "Thank you, Lord Chen. In the future, whether it is blacksmithing or fighting, as long as Lord Chen says so, I, Niu Tiechui, will definitely rush in front and never retreat."

Almost all tauren have one characteristic: they are loyal, simple, and don't talk much.

Chen Yuansheng smiled and helped Niu Tiechui up: "Okay, now you can safely follow Mr. Xu to forge iron. I will look for you when I need you in the future."

After a short time, both Huyan and Menghu came to the blacksmith shop.

Chen Yuansheng promoted them as promised. Niu Tiechui only used three attribute points, while Huyan and Tigers shared 16.

In these battles, the tiger not only acted as Huya's mount, but also rushed to the front at critical moments and made some contributions.

As for Hu Yan, he is still the village chief after all, and he fulfills his duties, so it is appropriate to upgrade him.

Tiger Rock: Bronze Warrior (upgrade progress 51%)

Tiger: Level 35 monster (upgrade progress [-]%)

After the upgrade was completed, Huyan and Menghu were naturally excited.

Chen Yuansheng encouraged them and then began to look at the large iron wheel placed on the rammed earth pile.

"What were you arguing here just now? I heard you were criticizing Yang Xiaoyang, what's going on?"

An alchemist twirled his beard and said: "Lord Chen, we followed your idea and made this big iron wheel, using an "animal leather belt" to drive the small iron wheel. The problem now is that the speed is there, but the two It is difficult to fix it, and the rammed earth base is not good. Every time I work, two people have to support it, and the vibration is too great.”

"Just now Yang Xiaoyang said that if we get a large stone weighing several thousand kilograms from the hill as a base and fix the two wheels on it, the problem will be solved."

"How did you get these thousands of kilograms of rocks? Whoever raised the problem will solve it. If you can't solve it, then you can ask 'der'."

Chen Yuansheng almost laughed. It seemed that the Gray people had quite a few local dialects.

In fact, seriously speaking, the method proposed by Yang Xiaoyang is a very correct idea: whether it is turning, cutting, drilling or grinding metal, the biggest problems are stability and vibration. These two problems cannot be solved, and all metal accessories have no accuracy. It can be said.

For example, the bearings produced in the front are just fake, and they are all supported by high-strength materials that need to be made.

Chen Yuansheng turned to look at this guy who was born to be "lazy" and asked with a smile: "What can you do?"

Yang Xiaoyang is very passive these days, because he always wants to do some easy work, and has been labeled as lazy by the alchemists. His reputation is so good that he will never be able to get rid of it for a while.

"I've thought about the solution..."

"But we have to mobilize troops and use those powerful monsters."

Chen Yuansheng nodded: "It's okay, I will arrange the monster. As long as the method you think of is reliable, we can accomplish it."

With the Lord's words, Yang Xiaoyang suddenly gained confidence, clenched his fists and said: "I think that dragon lizard is big and strong, and there are several monitor lizards, we can let them help."

Before Chen Yuansheng could continue to ask, Yang Xiaoyang continued: "I, Yao Ertou, and Dazizi have been searching on a hill not far away in the past two days and found two or three large rocks that can be used. We estimated the weight of each piece. It’s over [-] kilograms. If the dragon lizards and the others help, they should be able to get it.”

"After the stone is obtained, what about the plane?"

Mr. Xu said from the side: "That one is easier to handle. There are many of us. We first use iron drills and hammers to knock out a flat surface, and then work hard to polish it. Tens of thousands of kilograms of stones have been obtained. Isn't it easy to level the surface?"

Chen Yuansheng clapped his hands: "Without further ado, you prepare some hemp ropes. I will call the monsters now. We will get all the rocks we like."
