Infrastructure Throne

The large canvas was blown up by the strong wind in the sailors' chant, and the cargo ship pulled up the anchor and gradually sailed away from the port of Pearl City.

The distant city gradually shrank in the eyes of everyone, and finally turned into a lead gray boulder, lying on the side of the Chiyuan River.

Thick clouds pressed over from afar, making the sky a bit gloomy.

The river water that was broken by the bow of the ship was billowing with gray and white waves, rolling towards the sides.

Shen Qingze stood on the deck and looked far into the distance. There was a faint mist on the river, and the wide border appeared and disappeared in the mist. On the side close to the human city were golden wheat fields and rolling mountains, while on the other side , is an uninhabited jungle with little development.

"Bajibaji..." Yaya squatted on the side of the boat with an earthworm in its mouth, eating while looking at the direction of Mingzhu City in the distance, the bright yellow hair all over its body was shaken messily by the wind.

Shen Qingze's voice came from above its head: "Are you thinking about him?"

"?" Yaya raised her head to look at him, her two black bean eyes blinked suspiciously.

Shen Qingze touched its forehead gently: "Don't worry, he will be back soon."

"??" Ya Ya decided to ignore the nagging master and continue to concentrate on eating earthworms.

There was a sudden wave, the hull of the boat was bumped, the duck did not catch it, and the earthworm in its mouth accidentally fell into the river, and was swallowed by the river in the blink of an eye.

Duck Duck: "... Chirp"

"Oh, poor little guy." Shen Qingze sighed, rubbed the top of Yaya's head, feeling sorry for him, "Are you so worried that you can't eat? Since you can't eat, don't embarrass yourself. "

Yaya's hair exploded all over: "Chirp!"

I'm not!I don't!You pay me for snacks!

The next day was dark, and Shen Qingze, who was sleeping, suddenly felt the hull of the ship shake, and the sound of sailors walking on the deck gradually came.

He squeezed his brows and opened his eyes, opened the window, and the small fishing village on the shore came into view, and the smoke from the cooking was faintly visible.

Many villagers from the fishing village gathered around the pier, looking at the boats. They had seen a lot of large boats passing by on the Chiyuan River, but it was rare for them to berth in small fishing villages.

Shen Qingze asked Jin Da to give the village chief a few silver coins, and the village chief was so happy that he could not see his teeth, and immediately made everyone a hearty breakfast for the guests.

Dried fish bibimbap, boiled fish, fried salted fish...

Shen Qingze put down the bowl and chopsticks silently, the bitter and astringent taste wafted on his taste buds, he felt that he never wanted to eat fish again in this life.

After asking the village chief about the residence of the shepherd orcs, Shen Qingze ordered Jin Da to stay on the boat, while he took the duck, the big white dog, and the Lance brothers to the grassland at the foot of the mountain.

A few people asked the fishermen for two lean horses from the village. The farther south they went, the wider the sky and the earth became. Thousands of miles of lead clouds hung low, and in the middle was the stop-and-go wind. Mark of.

The horseshoes stepped on the dead grass and stopped at the col, where a large group of free-range sheep were grazing.

The appearance of these sheep looks a bit like alpaca, taller and thicker, with thick white hair wrapped around the body like a quilt. The rams have sharp horns, and the ewes only have two bulges on their foreheads that seem to be short horns.

Seeing outsiders, a shepherd orc slowly walked out of the flock.

His appearance is quite different from that of the goblin brothers. The shepherd orc only has the upper body close to that of a human, and the lower body reminds Shen Qingze of the centaur in western legends.

The Shepherd Beastmen moved their four long hooves slowly, and long white hair grew from their backs, wrapping their bodies like clothes. When they got closer, Shen Qingze felt the height of the other party, half taller than himself. head.

As Black Eagle said, shepherd orcs are almost non-aggressive towards humans, he just looked at Shen Qingze suspiciously, and then his eyes fell on the goblin brothers, and Shen Qingze couldn't understand what he said in unison.

Fortunately, the Lance Brothers came in handy.

Lance acted as an interpreter honestly: "Boss, he asked us what we are doing here."

Shen Qingze was already prepared, and took a bag of grain and two packets of salt from the horse: "Tell him that we want to use grain and salt to exchange some sheep with him."

Lance chatted with the other party for a while, and saw the shepherd orc lowered his head and sniffed the grain and salt, showing joy, and nodded hurriedly.

Lance: "Boss, he asked us to choose from the flock by ourselves. We can take away one ram and five ewes."

Shen Qingze nodded, a little less than he expected, but it's okay, find out the location, and send someone over to exchange for more little lambs in the future.

The sheep scattered on the grass were very afraid of strangers. Seeing Shen Qingze approaching, they squeezed into the flock one after another, like snow-white ones kneading together.

Shen Qingze pulled the reins and urged the horse forward, like a lone wolf staring at the sheep, circling around the flock, thinking about plundering them, but knowing that the lambs would be full.

He noticed that there was a ram with long horns in the center of the flock, slowly chewing the grass. The ewe squeezed past it, and it didn't respond much, but if any ram came close to it, it would be attacked by this guy. A series of ruthless kicks.

The other rams seemed to be extremely afraid of it, but they couldn't help approaching it, as if they could gain a great sense of security by being around it.

Interesting, just you.

Shen Qingze reined in the horse, rubbed the rein with his fingers, and was thinking about how to abduct this "sheep king".

He only heard the big white dog barking at him, and rushed into the flock of sheep!

Shen Qingze was taken aback for a moment, the expected scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping and scattering the flock did not appear, Ah Bai circled around the flock twice, like a majestic shepherd dog, no sheep passed by Get out of the way obediently.

Abai seemed to know which sheep the master had his eyes on, so he rushed all the way to the center of the flock, and chased the domineering sheep king to bleat.

Abai's seemingly weak body, vividly performed a posture of a dog surrounding all the sheep, and finally drove the king of sheep out of the flock arrogantly, and abducted a few "harem ewes" by the way.

Shen Qingze was stunned by a series of operations. For a moment, he didn't know whether to think about the relationship between sheep and dogs in the game world, or who the hell is Abai.

He also investigated Abai, but unfortunately the information he got was very vague. It only showed that Abai was a canine beast that could evolve. His attributes of strength, agility, and understanding were not low. , almost twice that of ducks.

It really deserves to be a good helper who will help him at the beginning!

Shen Qingze couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy for Yaya's IQ.

On the way back from driving the flock of sheep, the big white dog trotted behind Shen Qingze's horse's buttocks. Lance frowned, staring at Abai's figure closely, and couldn't help stepping forward to stand side by side with Shen Qingze.

"Boss, this dog doesn't look like a native dog. I think... it looks like a beastman."

Shen Qingze's eyebrows moved slightly: "Why?"

Lance has a solemn face: "The orcs are descendants of monsters and humans. The biggest difference from ordinary beasts is that they have the advantages of both humans and beasts, they can use tools, and they have great power. However, the tribes are scattered and the number Rare, with many conflicts between tribes, and almost no cooperation like humans."

Shen Qingze said indifferently: "But Ah Bai doesn't have any human appearance."

Lance scratched his head: "This is also where I am strange. Maybe I am overthinking..."

Human race, orc...

Shen Qingze looked down at Ah Bai's happily wagging tail, thoughtfully.

※※※

A group of people returned to the small fishing village, and the two large grain transport ships were berthed at the pier.

However, Shen Qingze felt that something was wrong. Before leaving, the fishing village was very lively because of their arrival. From time to time, fishermen would go down the river to catch fish, or bring some pickled local products, and come to exchange things with them.

But right now, the small fishing village is so quiet that no human voice can be heard.

Lance and Els guard Shen Qingze on the left and right: "Boss, something is wrong."

Shen Qingze ordered: "Go to the pier first."

Several people drove the flock of sheep and galloped on horses. At the moment they stepped onto the pier, there were bursts of shouts and killings from three sides of the small fishing village, and a large group of forest robbers dressed in coarse linen rushed in like a tide!

They are not masked, they look ferocious, all of them are riding tall horses, coming and going like the wind, holding thick and savage machetes in their hands, like a vicious rout of soldiers, where the horseshoes are flying, the sky is full of dust, and the earth seems to be covered in dust. Trembling faintly.

That astonishing aura seemed to cut down everything in front of him. These forest bandits didn't go door-to-door to rob the fishing village. They had the same goal, and their blades pointed straight at Shen Qingze!

"Come on! Kill this group of people! They have a lot of food and gold on their boats! Enough to feed us for a whole year!"

"Whoever can take the head of the person in the middle, there will be a lot of rewards!"

The robber's malicious yelling came from afar.

Lance immediately blocked Shen Qingze with a horizontal knife: "Boss, hurry up and get on the boat with Els!"

Jin Da on the boat had already noticed the return of several people, and lowered the sampan from the deck, ready to welcome Shen Qingze and the flock.

He lay on the side of the boat and shouted: "Hurry up! My lord, come up!"

Shen Qingze ordered Abai and Els to drive the sheep onto the boat.He raised his eyes and looked at the robbers who were gradually approaching in front of him, and he could almost clearly see the greedy and distorted smiles on their faces.

Jin Da's voice became more and more anxious: "My lord, get on the boat quickly! Let's sail away from here!"

Shen Qingze frowned slightly: "You can't sail the boat!"

Yan Zui and the others hadn't returned yet, and they agreed to meet up here, and left this small fishing village, until Yuanliu City, there was no second wharf they could dock at.

We must clean up these miscellaneous items, and wait for Yan Zui to come back!

Shen Qingze straddled the horse and stood still, only raised his hands, and slapped twice: "Master Black Eagle! Luo Te sent people to rob food!"

"If you don't show up again, your lord's business partner will be buried here!"

"As Lord Tia's loyal dog, don't you intend to obey his order to protect me!"

His angry shout resounded across the river, and before he finished speaking, another boat moored at the pier suddenly let out an angry growl:

"Okay! Shut up! I heard you!"

The tall black eagle jumped down from the deck. He drew out the long sword at his waist and raised it high: "Follow me, kill these running dogs!"

Following his order, countless guards dressed as sailors jumped off the big boat, like a silvery torrent, rushing to the beach of the fishing village.

In a blink of an eye, he was fighting with the robbers!

These guards are members of Tia's guards, all of whom have experienced many battles. The combat effectiveness of the robbers is completely incomparable with their regular army, and they can only rely on their numbers to hold on.

Holding the steel sword in his hand, Black Eagle rushed into the crowd like a bolt of lightning, killing one person in one step. The shiny sword was stained red with blood, and the blood dripped along the tip of the sword and soaked the ground.

He pushed away a robber who was dying, and turned his head to see that the real target was looking here while counting sheep.

When Shen Qingze met Hei Ying's gloomy gaze, he even took the time to wave his hands at him and clapped his hands: "Come on!"

Black Hawk: "..."

The author has something to say: Ze Qingchen: Come on, you are the fattest!

Hei: I have a sentence of mmp that I am going to say now!
