The sentinel who led them to the magician did not expect this situation, with a blank expression on his face.

Yun Shen looked as usual, he didn't look at the helpless Aquinas patriarch who was standing aside, but looked at the young fox clan kneeling in front of him, he said, "Look up."

Tira slowly raised her head, and met those black eyes looking down at him, different from the bottomless pure black of the bereaved people, giving people the illusion that their souls could be seen through, Tira was startled, and almost lowered her head again.

"Did you make this decision because of my strength, or just to survive?" Yun Shen asked.

"Because of your strength, Your Excellency." Tira said, looking directly into Yun Shen's eyes, he answered without hesitation.

Someone laughed at the side, and Tira didn't look to see who it was. It was this magician who could really decide his fate, and he was only asking for this magician.

"For your father's sake, I accept you. And not as a slave, but as an apprentice." Yun Shen said, "Stand up."

Tira was a little surprised, but stood up according to the magician's words, and the man no longer looked at him, but turned to the patriarch Aquinas who was standing next to him, "You have a son who is full of scheming, among the orcs It’s rare.” He smiled slightly, “But it doesn’t mean much to me.”

Patriarch Aquinas smiled wryly, "I'm very sorry, Your Excellency the Master."

What is the apology for, only he himself knows.

"Yun Ce." Yun Shen said, and a handsome black-haired young man came out next to him, "Since he is an apprentice, start from the bottom. You take him to the construction site and let Nanshan teach him."

"Yes." Yun Ce replied, and he walked to Tira's side, "Come with me."

Tila hesitated a little, the magician didn't ask his name at all, but after hesitating for only a moment, he turned around and left with Yun Ce.The patriarch Aquinas watched the back of this young son who always made him feel at ease, and he sighed a long time, then he heard the voice of the magician: "Patriarch Aquinas, your special visit should not be just for such a trivial matter. ?”

"As you know," Patriarch Aquinas turned around, "I take the liberty of interrupting, but I really want to talk to you about something."

The magician looked a little noncommittal, but he still said, "Let's change the occasion."

When the head of the fox tribe left the reception room of the magician, he left with others who came with him. Yun Ce, who had just returned from the wasteland, stood outside the door and knocked lightly with his hand.

"Please come in."

"Master." Yun Ce walked in, and took a panoramic view of this not-so-small study room as soon as he moved his eyes. Compared with the last time he saw it, there seemed to be a lot more things added, "The man has already sent it over, Captain Nanshan asked him to start with the use of farm tools."

"En." Yun Shen responded, pulling out the memo, "There is no need to ask him to work for a long time, and he will be transferred to another position after five days. Except for a few important places, two months is enough for him to basically rotate once. .”

"Same as me then?" Yun Ce asked involuntarily.

"It's not the same." Yun Shen said, he raised his eyes to look at the bereaved youth from Shenguang Forest, "You can choose your own direction, but he has to accept my arrangement." Being able to follow a powerful talent, It is an honor for the vast majority of ordinary people in this world, but as an apprentice—at least among humans and orcs, such a relationship only appeared in the special era of the Rift War.Moreover, apprentices are not students, their mentors are also their masters in a sense, and they also have the power to decide life and death.

After receiving the response, Yun Ce showed embarrassment on his face. He is not a person who lacks self-confidence, but it is difficult to let go in front of the magician. "But those are orcs...do you trust them?"

"We can't talk about this kind of relationship with them yet, there are transactions, and both parties have the ability to ensure the execution of the contract - at least the patriarch of Sacher is a person who can consider long-term development." Yun Shen said, holding a pen, "Speaking of this, Yun Ce, have you gotten used to it these past few months?"

"I have benefited a lot." Although he didn't know why the magician asked this question, Yun Ce replied sincerely.Not only has he benefited a lot, it is not too much to say that he has subverted his understanding of the world.

"That's good." Yun Shen said while writing, "There will be an elf to replace Ludwig in two years, and you will have less trouble walking with him. Then you might as well write a study and work plan during this period book, I should be able to give you some advice."

Yun Ce fell silent, Yun Shen stopped writing, looked up, and met the shocked and flustered expression of the other party.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Master...how did you..." Yun Ce forced himself to calm down, "You know I'm leaving?"

Because Yun Shen never thought that he would stay here forever.Although Nanshan and Li Hong couldn't tell him the true purpose of this young man's coming all the way from the sanctuary of the Central Empire due to certain restrictions, with Fan Tianlan who had participated in the messenger mission, Yun Shen could roughly analyze part of the content.He pays attention to this nation of the same origin as himself, but except for these people here, he must be an "outsider" to most of the survivors living on the edge of Central Continent.And his position and strength for a period of time have nothing to do with it. This young man from the bereaved family who has shown a good ability to accept and a positive learning attitude will provide convenience for whatever he wants to learn. The other party is so surprised that he is a little surprised .

"Because I heard that you are going to bring Mrs. Li Yunling's ashes back to her real hometown. The revival of the family she hoped to see back then, someone should do it for her now?" Yun Shen said, "You are the inheritor of their will One of them is to return to the Central Empire after all.”

Yun Ce looked at the black-haired and black-eyed Shushi with a somewhat complicated expression. Since he arrived, no matter what he heard or saw with his own eyes, besides strength and knowledge, Shushi's gentle character and unique behavior have impressed him. Impressed.But he didn't expect that Shu Shi knew his true identity. Shu Shi not only accepted him, but also gave him help that no amount of money could exchange.

"Excuse me, Master, why do you..." Yun Ce hesitated for a moment, but still asked his own question, "Why do you take care of us so much?"

It's just that the reason of similar appearance shouldn't count for a calm and rational magician with practical means.This question made Yun Shen pause, "Is there a reason?"

"I want to do something in this world, prove something. That's why I am."

The intensive precipitation that lasted for more than half a month has finally shown signs of easing. Although the sky still looks wet, and the distant mountains are heavy on the horizon, almost everyone in the group walking along the grassland has heavy feet. The low and flat areas on the grassland have been turned into swamps, and in places that are slightly drier, as long as the meadow is under a little force, a large amount of water will seep from the bottom, and even the air will wrap around people's bodies sticky.

For the hairier creatures, there is nothing more annoying than this kind of weather.Especially when they had to fight the same endless pursuit in the endless heavy rain and moderate rain, the werewolves generally felt irritated.But there will always be an end to all of this. Although the land under his feet belongs to Hekel, the record of the two wolf and fox tribes defeating the tiger army in one fell swoop was not for nothing. The extremely vigorous werewolf knight and fox The clan faced those equally tired pursuers on the edge of the territory. Except for a few stupid beasts with red eyes, most of the orcs retreated after trying to fight a few times.

As for what will happen after this, at least Scar has no extra energy to think about now.

However, in addition to werewolves and foxes, there were also humans who came to meet them.Even before the orcs came on their mounts, these werewolves saw the traces of humans—it was impossible to pretend to be invisible. Under the gloomy sky, the bright colors were the most obvious road signs.

The tribal warriors waved their knives to meet the enemy behind them. Ska shook the sword and wiped the rain and sweat from his face, "What is that?"

He saw it quickly.A dozen huge oval balls of red, yellow, blue, green, and purple float in the air, and the four ends of the thin ropes tied underneath hang a stretcher flat in the air. In the eyes of the werewolves who didn't know how to describe it, a person in charge of the weight jumped off the stretcher, and then the survivors who came back from Lacerda with them hurriedly untied their most seriously injured person and put him on it. .

I don't know if this method should be called miraculous or weird, but it is really eye-catching. Even the alien orcs in the battle were distracted by it and suffered bad luck.However, there was nothing for these humans to participate in the battle, so after greeting Ska and the pharmacist, they led the stretcher floating in midair and went back as a whole team.

The werewolves looked at their backs silently, Scar slammed his head on the pharmacist's shoulder, "I feel so fucking tired."

The pharmacist patted him back.Compared with the werewolves, it is obvious that his spirit is not bad.Because the werewolves will not let a pharmacist fight, and the situation of their being hunted down is not as serious as expected. On the one hand, it is because the return route they choose is relatively hidden, and on the other hand, their observation methods are far better than those who are still there. The orcs who used their eyes and noses, except for the last part of the road, could not avoid facing the pursuers head-on, but the reinforcement team arrived very quickly.

This experience is very rare for the pharmacist. He also walked on the grassland when he was young, but he has never been as thrilling as he has been for more than a month.In addition, he also thought about some problems that he hadn't realized before.

The rainy season is part of the grassland life cycle, although excess rain is a nuisance to most races.When they passed Hekel's village, the werewolves saw the thatched huts that had not been repaired due to the war and collapsed in the violent wind and rain.Speaking of this year, there was a lot of rain. After all, Ska and the others still missed the early stage of the rainy season. At this time in previous years, the pontoon bridge on the big river had been washed away with only two broken ropes left. No matter how the orcs on both sides treated them How to strengthen, in the face of the roaring river, these passages are no stronger than a rotten grass rope.

However, no matter the werewolf knight or the human stretcher, they all undoubtedly came from the other side.In the last contact before returning, the magician also clearly told Scar that there is no need to worry about crossing the river.However, just like the usual style of the magician, before seeing it with their own eyes, it is difficult for ordinary people to imagine what kind of handwriting he uses to solve the problem.

The tall pillars standing beside the turbulent river are far more eye-catching than the colorful balloons just now.Scar walked in front of them and looked at them silently for a while. The pharmacist stood beside him, reaching out to caress the gray-white pillar in front of him. Traces of sand could be seen on the surface, and the gray slurry solidified them into a rock-like existence. He looked back from the top of the high cable tower and the saddle, and looked forward, hanging on the turbid and turbulent water flow, slightly drooping. The arc of the bridge extends to the opposite bank.

"It's really powerful..." He couldn't help admiring.

Although this temporary bridge, which can be called a spectacle in other places, was actually completed and officially opened in the past two days.

Under the existing conditions, no matter what kind of material the pontoon bridge can still exist after the flood season, and among the various construction schemes, only the suspension bridge is feasible, and the material and manual completion can be obtained in a short time.The materials used for erection, among them, the tower columns are cut from the reinforced concrete load-bearing columns originally prepared for the semi-underground warehouse on the mountainside, the bridge deck is from the timber factory, and the suspension cables connected by thick iron rings need to be customized. The needs of the site shortened the time for the finished product due to the proficient process. The workshop rushed to catch up and finally rushed out all the components, such as suspenders, anchorages and bridge deck systems. Considering the actual conditions and construction difficulty, the executor In the project, simplifications were made as far as possible without endangering safety. After all, only people and animals are required to be able to pass, and the load requirements are not high.

In terms of modern construction standards, under such a short construction period and such backward conditions, the service life of temporary projects completed in this way will be severely shortened, but to achieve this level, the efficiency of the construction team and the talent of the constructors Even Yun Shen was surprised by it.In terms of safety, although there were several dangerous situations, because of the timely response, there were no serious consequences.

So even his introverted character has to be affirmed to Fan Tianlan again and again. The rest of the construction team also performed very well, but in the eyes of others, Fan Tianlan, the leader, is almost inhuman. In a certain way, Their view is rather close to the truth.

Even people like them who should be used to it, let alone the orcs who witnessed the whole process.The troubles of the ancestors were solved by a group of human beings in just one month. Some of the work was completed during the rainy season. Watching those human warriors install booms on the river in the heavy rain, the only place they can stand is under their feet. The catwalk made of seemingly very slender ropes made even the onlookers feel terrified during the process. If the war with Ogg deterred the orcs of the two races, this bridge won their true love. Convinced and awed.But when it came to the final stage of paving the bridge deck, humans let go and handed over this work to the two races on both sides of the strait.

Even if this kind of behavior makes some orcs with too flexible minds secretly say that it is human hypocrisy, but when Sachel's Beth and Heckle's Aquinas respectively put down the first plank, and then put them through the fixing holes When they were tightly tied to the iron cables at the bottom of the bridge, the orcs at both ends still gave out the same cheers.

Scar didn't see that scene, but he could imagine it from the description of his subordinates. The werewolf was also quite excited about this, but after seeing the expression of the patriarch, he kept his mouth shut.

Scar went back to his tribe with a sullen face all the way. Boss came outside his main tent and wanted to report to him various affairs in the tribe in the past few months, but he was blocked outside unexpectedly.He felt a little uneasy from the atmosphere, because even the pharmacist had an unconcealable worry on his brows.

"Pharmacist, is there any move by the Senate?" He asked in a low voice. For the tribe, the biggest trouble is probably there.

"No." The pharmacist shook his head, then turned to look at the tent, and Scar, who had changed into a different attire, opened the tent door and came out.

"Come with me." He said to the pharmacist, after a pause he changed his words, "Forget it, you wait here."

Leaving the pharmacist behind, he went to where the station was.

"I want to see you," he said.

"Waiting for you at any time." The Far Eastern magician said calmly.
