The kobold slaves looked at the mountain not far away, and some glory finally came out of their eyes. Some kobold slaves couldn’t help but jump into the volcanic ash and roll a few times after jumping in the carriage, so that their fur was covered with volcanic ash.
Chapter 497 Knight led the boundary pillar
This time, Surdak led a team into Pustuca Mountain. In addition to carrying a lot of cassava, the carriage also had some reed mats, shade cloth and other materials.
Luke led several young villagers to surround reed mats with stones, and the low wall became the simplest shed, covered with a layer of black shade cloth, which blocked the shed from flying volcanic ash. If the lungs inhaled a lot of volcanic ash, they would get a lung disease that was difficult to cure.
At the beginning, all the villagers in the sulfur mine in the rocky area wore scarves. Later, Selena came to the sulfur mine in the rocky area and saw that the villagers had to wear scarves when they slept, so she suggested to the old village head that the tent should be covered with a layer to block volcanic ash. shade cloth, so that you can sleep late without covering your face.
Later, the mining villagers built several stone sheds without roofs, and those low tents gradually disappeared.
Surdak led 200 Kobayashi slaves into the mine in the rocky area. These sheds can be tidied up a little, and this time they also brought reed mats. The living conditions in the sheds are much better than last autumn.
Water is the scarcest thing on this side of Pustus Mountain, but this problem has been solved since the magic scroll of water gathering was created.
The hardest thing is that the natural environment here is full of flying ash and flowing lava rivers. Occasionally, I can bump into fire like salamanders. Warcraft makes this place full of danger. Only people like Luke know that the pustule crater flame has been burning for nearly a hundred years but has never erupted. Occasionally, some lava rivers flow from the top of the mountain.
Kobayashi slaves sit honestly in the shed. These kobayashi have fluffy hair and have no communication with each other. They sit quietly in the reed mat. When they drink water, they will go to the shed door next to the bucket and sit back in place after drinking.
Seeing that the mining area has been settled here, I am worried that Luke and five villagers will suppress the two hundred kobold slaves, and Surdak will let Andrew stay.
What is most lacking here in the sulfur mine is not food, but water. Surdak gave Luke a water gathering magic rune board. This metal magic rune board consumes magic crystal fragments when it runs. When the magic crystal fragments run out of mana, it can be replaced continuously. In addition, Surdak gave Luke two water gathering magic scrolls in case of emergency.
The magic metal rune board and the magic scroll were bought by him in Bena Magic Store in front of Maca’s position, and the plane war ended only a few times.
After dealing with these things, Surdak left the sulfur mine in the rocky area with Samira, Gulitem and Aphrodite.
Looking like a black chimney stands in front of the volcano, the top of the volcano is densely covered with gray clouds and thick smoke. A dark red lava river flows from the mountain, but when it reaches the mountainside, the skin slowly cools to form layers of limestone hard shell lava undercurrent.
The surface of this lava river is covered with a black and shiny stone shell, which looks hard, but in some places, the hard shell has just formed, and it will easily collapse and break when you step in, which is very dangerous for your feet to fall into the lava.
Next to a lava underground river is this diverted lava underground river, a sulfur mine in a large rocky area.
"Captain, you led the knight here?" Elf archers face covered with a thick scarf some puzzled to Sue tak asked.
"Well, although the land here is barren, there is a large open-air sulfur mine here. It will change the lives of the villagers if these sulfur mines are shipped out of here." Surdak took the horse and took a few steps forward, pointing to the rocky area that suddenly appeared in front of him and said to Samira several people.
Aphrodite, a raised black rock, gently lifted her black veil to Surdak and smiled.
"If I hadn’t walked through it, I would have returned to hell."
Surdak put his hand on his forehead and said to several opponents, "It’s not as bad as it looks here. These lava rivers can flow into the abandoned land with a little guidance. It’s more troublesome to deal with volcanic ash here …"
Surdak took the members of the security team away from the sulfur mine in the rocky area and spent nearly a week in accordance with the area marked on the sheepskin map. Twenty-nine boundary markers were set in the edge area of the knight collar. These boundary markers were based on local materials, looking for some striking huge rock faces, drawing striking arrows with white pulp lime powder and writing the words’ Surdak knight collar’ on the huge rock face.
In the northern part of Pubao Mountain, Pagros Mountain is connected, and a part of the area has passed through the peak of this volcano, and the boundary pillar has been temporarily erected there.
However, in any case, the boundary pillars led by the knights are actually erected. The boundary pillars are all attributed to Surdak land, and the knights are not hereditary, which means that Surdak will belong to Surdak in his lifetime.
Due to the barren land, the knight collar of Surdak is much bigger than the ordinary knight collar. After erecting the boundary pillar, he suddenly found himself with such a large area of land, and Surdak’s heart was also full of mixed feelings.
"Let’s go back to stony mountain mining area!" Surdak said to all the hands
"Are we going to patrol here to maintain law and order after the captain?" Go back to the sulfur mine road in the rocky area, and the ogre Gulitim asked uneasily.
Surdak pulled the reins of the horse and stopped. The volcanic ash in this area is almost a foot thick. Whether it is an ogre or a Gubo, it is very difficult to walk on this side of the horse. He has considered whether to buy some camels back.
Surdak thought for a moment and said, "Most of the time, we are mainly responsible for more than a dozen natural villages near Wall Village to prevent bandits from raiding and harassing the villagers there. I don’t think there will be any bandits who can’t come here!"
Gulitlem, the ogre, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Surdak say this, patting his chest and saying, "Oh, good! The environment here is really terrible!"
……
When I returned to the sulfur mine again, the second batch of materials team in Woer Village just arrived at the mine. Luke was directing dozens of kobold slaves to carry cassava, scones and some dried vegetables to the warehouse. This group of kobold slaves was much better than a week ago, perhaps because they were full. The fluff was very smooth, although they moved slowly, but no one was lazy.
"Don’t rest until the last truck of cassava is unloaded …" Luke shouted at the top of his voice. "Whoever moves the most will be rewarded with a wheat bran miscellaneous grain cake for dinner!"
Kobayashi slaves came out from the rocky area with rattan baskets on their backs, and the number of sulfur mines delivered was recorded in the temporary warehouse. Only then did the rattan baskets join the unloading army to avoid the laziness of these kobayashi slaves. Luke stipulated that these kobayashi slaves had to dig up a certain amount of sulfur mines before they were eligible for dinner. Obviously, these kobayashi slaves had rich mining experience and could finish it on time every day. Even if some villagers had dug some local kobayashi slaves, they would dig up some sulfur mines again.
"Ducky, I found that this group of kobolds are born as a group of miners, and it won’t be long before we can dig this area completely." Luke said excitedly to Surdak.
He took Surdak to see a lot of sulfur mines harvested in the last week, just like a hill outside Luke’s residence.
After unloading the supplies, the wagons all gathered here, and a group of kobold slaves were loading sulfur mines into the carriages. They looked much more agile, and each kobold slave looked good, less numb, and his eyes regained a little luster.
"When I return to Wall Village, I will return to Hailansa City to finish my later studies. Here, the kobolds leave it to you. Be careful. If there is anything wrong, you must decisively give up everything here. When I come back, don’t try to be brave." Surdak looked at the towering pustule mountain. He was worried that salamanders might emerge from the mountain at any time.
Luke said to Surdak with little confidence, "I know, I will manage this group of kobolds well."
At dinner, Luke and his party became cooks again. Two villagers carried a big pot and poured the boiled cassava porridge into a big wooden bucket. Luke held a spoonful of the big wooden bucket in his hand, and this group of kobold slaves lined up in a long line. Each kobold slave had a big wooden bowl in his hand. Luke put a spoonful of cassava porridge into the bowl, and another villager even grabbed a salted radish from another big wooden bowl and gave it to these kobolds.
Andrew then went to Surdak and Surdak asked him, "Have these kobolds been so honest these days?"
"It’s always been like this these days." Andrew wore a thick scarf around his neck and didn’t wear armor. He was bare and half-dressed in a pair of trousers, and his dress was as unique as it was.
Surdak patted Andrew on the shoulder and said, "When we go back to Wall Village, you, Samira, Gulitlem and I will come back to Hailansa City. We have to report back to the guard camp."
"Then here …?" Andrew asked some not trust.
"Leave it to Luke for the time being," Surdak said flatly.
……
Early the next morning, Surdak left with a group of members of the security team and a carriage full of sulfur mines to return to Wall Village.
