Mercenaries and Adventurers

Kiel was stepping on several stacked silver panels, using a shovel to pry the silver wall panel on the upper part of the channel wall.

Suddenly, he felt a tremor under his feet, and the neatly stacked silver plates trembled and slid away. Zhao Ji lost his balance and fell from above.

With a plop, Zhao Ji sat down on a pile of randomly placed silver plates next to him, "Hey!" After Zhao Ji fell on it, he jumped up again, rubbing his buttocks and scurrying in the aisle.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts to death." It took Zhao Ji a while to recover from the pain from his buttocks. He came to the pile of silver boards that he had stepped on before, and kicked angrily.

For a long time, Zhao Ji hugged his feet and screamed in pain. He dragged his boots, rubbed his feet with one hand, and slapped his legs with the other, scolding his legs for being cheap, how could he kick them on the metal.

After the pain stopped, Zhao Ji put on his boots and continued working.

If you say let him work day and night in this passage where there is no sunlight, then he will definitely not do it, but if all the disassembled silver plates become his wealth, then he Zhao Ji If you work like this, you can even sleep here.

The goblin rummaged through the snail shell, but still couldn't find his lost little hat. It got out of its shell, and while playing on the stone door carving in the middle of the passageway of the ruins, it was thinking about how it lost its hat.

Unable to figure it out, it decided to sit on the big snail shell and go back to the place it had been to, to see if it could find its own little hat.

It manipulated the snail shell, burrowed into the passage underground, and searched for the place it had been to before.

--

"What sound?" The passage was quite quiet, except for the sound of Zhao Ji's hard work breathing, so when there was a squeak from the passage not far away, he heard it all at once.

His left hand knocked on the wall casually, making the sound of him still working, but his right hand quietly pulled out the long sword at his waist, and then he made a vertical leap, walked two steps quickly after landing, and came to the place where the sound came from just now .

Beside the dimly lit stone gate, apart from himself, Zhao Ji, there was no one else in the unobstructed passage.

Frowning, Zhao Ji waved his long sword in the air casually, and there was no invisible enemy around as expected.

Scratching his head, Zhao Ji was surprised, why is there a ghost in this elf ruins?

How is it possible, in this kind of super ancient ruins, let alone ghosts, it is estimated that nothing can survive.

In the evening, Zhao Ji, who had been busy until he was tired and sleepy, braved the darkness, climbed over the petrified tree stump, and returned to the camp to eat and sleep.

Because of the plan to get the trolley into the ruins to speed up the progress, Zhao Ji stopped resting in the ruins. After all, compared to the quiet and dead ruins, the crypt in the tree root camp is more comfortable and warm.

After a tiring day, he finally removed most of the silver wall panels in the tens of meters long passage. When he went to the ruins tomorrow, he could find a way to get the trolley in. With the help of the trolley, he can quickly transport the silver plates in the second half of the passage to the entrance of the ruins, and then he can just throw those silver plates under the jack.

In this way, he can save at least two days.

Before going to bed, I still ate frozen cured jerky. The weather seemed to have dropped to freezing temperature. The clean water in the water container originally placed in the camp had already been covered with a thick layer of ice.

Zhao Ji had to break up the ice surface, fish out a few large ice cubes and put them in the small pot he brought. Dried vegetables and wheat grains were also added together. In order to add flavor, Zhao Ji also cut a few pieces of roasted meat strips into the soup.

After a while, the simple soup, which he didn't know what to call it, was ready. With the grilled marinated jerky, he ate a full meal to soothe his physical fatigue.

After casually tinkering with the tableware and campfire, Zhao Ji went back to sleep in the crypt.

This time, he pulled out the long sword and put it by his side, and put the dagger directly in his arms. Without taking off his clothes, he only took off his boots and got into the soft bedding.

But just after he blew out the lighting oil lamp, he found a small glowing thing near the bedding.

It was a small hat.

It emits a slightly earthy yellow light, and its shape is like the tall hat worn by magicians in the stories. Because the hat is too small, Zhao Ji can't see the pattern on the hat clearly. He holds it with his fingers. The little hat was full of doubts.

What's the matter with this thing? Is there really such a small person wearing such a small hat?

Moreover, he seems to have vaguely seen this kind of small hat, where is it?

Zhao Ji felt as if he had seen something similar, but he still couldn't remember it. Think about it, not thinking about the hat, but where is the thing that can wear this little shiny hat.

It was that grotesque little thing in the stone statue that I met only once.

It is also very small, and it also emits this earthy yellow light. So, the little thing that disappeared was near the camp at this time?

And have been here in his crypt. Hmm, so that's the guy who broke in here last night while he was sleeping?

Zhao Ji lit the oil lamp again, playing with the little hat in his hand, thinking about the situation.

He felt that the little thing shouldn't hurt him. After all, first of all, he, Zhao Ji, rescued the little thing from the evil stone statue. Secondly, after he fell asleep last night, he had no self-protection ability at all, but the little thing also He didn't hurt him. From this point of view, the other party didn't seem to have any malicious intentions.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji put the little hat in his hand in the middle of the crypt, and lay himself in the bedding.

But when he looked up and saw the elf ring hanging on the top of the crypt, he thought about it again, and took the ring that would allow him to enter the dreamland outside the crypt, and placed it beside the campfire.

He then returned to the crypt to rest.

Physical fatigue made Zhao Ji, who wanted to stay awake and try to communicate with that little thing, soon fell asleep.

--

After a while, a khaki-yellow light appeared on the ground of the crypt, but the goblin in the soil seemed to have concerns, it still didn't come out directly from the ground, but came out of the crypt, and then carefully walked out of the crypt. The entrance probes the inside of the crypt to investigate.

It found that there was no vicious-looking axe, so it went into the crypt.

Seeing its hat lying on the ground in the middle of the crypt, the little elf who couldn't find the hat after searching for a whole day was overjoyed. With small steps, she ran over to pick up the little hat and put it on her head.

But then it frowned, took off the hat, and sniffed carefully with its nose. It smelled humans, and its hat was found by humans and returned to it after playing with it.

Putting the hat on his head angrily, the goblin looked at Keel who was sleeping dead due to fatigue, his small eyes rolled around, and he wanted to do something to warn the human being not to destroy the place where the elves were working.

Called his own big snail shell, it sat on the snail shell and flew to Kiel's side, looked at the sleeping Kiel, and cast a spell with a smirk, making Kiel's whole body covered by wolves except for the head. The leather cloak, the dog-skin sleeping bag, and the bedding were wrapped together, forming an ellipsoid.

It looks like a moth chrysalis.

Thinking of the whole human being waking up the next day and finding out what he looked like, the little goblin smiled strangely and flew away.

---

It was almost noon the next day that Zhao Ji woke up.

He had been working so hard yesterday that he didn't rest until he was quite tired, which made him sleep for a long time.

However, as soon as he woke up, he felt very hot in his body, and his breathing felt suffocated. When he opened his eyes, he realized that he was surrounded by all the warm things he brought for sleeping.

The wolf fur cloak covering his body wrapped him tightly, outside was a dog skin sleeping bag, and outside was the bottom bedding.

"What's going on? What happened?" Zhao Ji muttered nervously while trying to break free.

Twisted left and right, his body stretched and stretched for a while, but fortunately the wolf fur and dog fur were both elastic, and he was still squeezed out of it under his struggle.

Zhao Ji, who came outside, drew his long sword and rushed out of the crypt, but found no enemies.

Returning to the crypt again, he noticed that the little glowing hat that was placed in the middle of the crypt last night was gone.

Only then did Zhao Ji figure out what was going on, and he muttered and complained: "It's not that I stole the hat, it's obvious that I lost it myself, but I still came to punish me."

He bent down, and then he untied the bundled clothes, sleeping utensils, etc.

The quilts and other things in a ball are not simply entwined, but are tightly fitted together like magic, which looks like Velcro or glue.

Zhao Ji had to pull the entire quilt away before the magic dissipated.

Unable to understand what kind of idea that mysterious and miraculous little thing is, Zhao Ji came to the camp to eat and exercise.

The exhaustion from yesterday was gone, and Zhao Ji, who was full of food and drink, felt that his body seemed to be getting stronger and stronger day by day.

Of course, this is also related to his hard work in the ruins, and he doesn't know what other reasons are deeper. But if he continues to grow stronger like this, I don't know if he can meet the training requirements of the Crowe Knight next spring.

When he left Kendall City this time, he had already handed over a large piece of elemental crystal to Jamura, and he took the rest of the elemental crystal with him on the trolley.

Zhao Ji unloaded all the supplies from the trolley and moved them into the crypt. Fortunately, the space in the crypt is not so small, and a trolley of supplies can still be put down.

As for the empty cart, Zhao Ji pushed it to the outside of the tree stump where the ruins were, and tied it to the cart with a rope hanging from the top of the stump. Then Zhao Ji climbed to the top along the rope tied to the trolley. After standing on the top, Zhao Ji began to grasp the rope with both hands, and pulled up the trolley, which weighed at least tens of kilograms, little by little.

--

Not far away, the goblin emerged halfway from the petrified tree stump behind him, which Kiel couldn't see.

Seeing that this human is still unwilling to give up and wants to destroy the workplace of the elves, it puts its hands on its hips, trying to give this human a good look.

But before it could tease Kiel, the two-handed ax seemed to feel something in the long heavy weapon next to the jack. It flipped the ax face over, turning the ax face with the monster's head on it, and then the whole ax There was a tremor, and the ax stood up sideways.

The monster side is staring at the goblin who is going to be bad.

The little goblin who was stared at by the ax was taken aback, and regardless of the fact that she was about to cast a spell with her hands on her hips, she directly covered her face with her hands to prevent herself from seeing the vicious axe.

The whole villain sank into the petrified tree stump with a whoosh and fled.

It seemed to sense that the thing to be damaged ran away, and the ax also fell on the wooden board, making a bang.

Zhao Ji was pulling the rope vigorously, but only glanced at the direction of the jack, guessing which piece of wood **** made the sound, after all, he just made a simple jack, and the wood used had not been dried to dry. It can be barely used in a short period of time, but it will definitely deform and collapse after a long time.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji put in even more effort, he must move out and hide all the materials in the ruins before the wood deformed.

Those hidden things belong to him, and they are placed here, and it may be discovered by other humans at any time. Then those things will have nothing to do with him.

Pull the trolley up, and then slowly put it down.

Fortunately, the trolley is not really very heavy, it is still under his power control. After the trolley fell to the ground inside the tree stump, Zhao Ji climbed down along the rope.

As for how to get the trolley into the entrance of the ruins hanging in mid-air, Zhao Ji adopted the method~www.readwn.com~ He first got the trolley under the entrance of the cave, then climbed up the entrance of the cave, and pulled the rope tied in the passage of the ruins. Rope on the cart, pull it up.

It will be convenient when the trolley comes in.

Zhao Ji first lit the oil lamp in the passage, and then lightly pushed the trolley into the second half of the passage.

In no hurry to get the silver boards out, Zhao Ji worked hard for a while, removing all the remaining silver wall boards that were not removed yesterday.

After resting for a while, he came to the stone gate of the passage again, and started to load as many silver plates on the trolley as possible from here. Loading hundreds of kilograms of silver plates at a time, Zhao Ji transported these silver plates to the entrance of the ruins along the flat passageway.

At the entrance of the cave, Zhao Ji stopped the trolley, took off the silver plate from the trolley himself, and threw it to the open space under the opposite jack.

By throwing the silver board the farthest distance, Zhao Ji found that his arm strength has been strengthened a lot. When throwing, in addition to the way of bowing left and right, he also used the way of sprinting and throwing with short cloth, and the method of throwing the discus used by Olympic athletes in the previous life, turning around and throwing the silver plate out.

This method has the longest distance, and can throw heavy silver plates to the opposite ground very well.

The farther the distance is, the less he can walk and carry the silver plate when he uses the jack to carry it, and he can use it directly under the jack.

On the top of Kiel's back passage, the little goblin poked out half of its head. It carefully observed and found that there was no terrible ax near the humans.

But it was still careful, and then stretched out another hand, muttering something in its mouth, waved a little human, and showed him some color.

Hmph, how dare you dare to destroy the workplace of the elves so boldly!
