Chapter 1976

"Let's build a hut, right here."

After the merchant fleet of the desert ship gradually disappeared into the depths of the oasis, Millie pointed to the dry and hard land not far away and said.

Green, dressed as a native of the sandstorm world, was wrapped in white gauze, with only a pair of eyes exposed. He glanced at the thorn grass that can be seen everywhere around him with a backhand knife, and said "Dang", the texture was quite hard, and the harsh and arid conditions of the desert, Let these vegetation have very strong vitality.

"here?"

Green asked back, puzzled: "Why don't you go inside the city wall, the living conditions here are too bad for our current level of life."

Millie said: "We can build a house here, look for water resources, find food, do everything possible to survive, use our limited life strength, rely on the most basic knowledge of wizards, from scratch, learn low-level The way of life of living things, feeling the meaning of life of lower living beings.”

Green looked at the surrounding bushes and thorns. With the hardness of these bushes and thorns, if they can be cut off one by one, it is an excellent material for making a wooden house. However, the shrubs and thorns here are so hard that it is a difficult task.

After thinking about it, Green said: "The front is an oasis, surrounded by a desert, and the temperature is higher than that of the desert. Therefore, a high-pressure area will be formed in the Isulman area, and the cold wind with moisture spreads around, and the dry high-temperature airflow This area is replenished at high altitude, forming a thermal cycle. With the limited rules that our current power base can leverage..."

Thinking about it, Green said: "In the morning when the temperature is the lowest every day, facing the cold and humid airflow, collecting water at a lower temperature, you can collect enough water resources. As the world's most influential currency, water, We can then use water as a starting point, trade with city-states and humans, and complete the survival of the world under the most difficult conditions."

Losing magic power, and not having power far beyond ordinary people, that is, losing the fulcrum for wizards to pry the rules, all Green and Millie can do is to make the most of nature.

Millie looked up at the sky and the sun, and then avoided the hot wind with Green, and came to the shadow of a needle-punched shrub about three meters away. With a satisfied look, she pointed to the thorny shrub and said, "Just here, Maybe it only takes 20 or 30 years, and there will be stretches of shrubs in front of our gate, and even a village will be formed."

Millie thought beautifully.

"I didn't become the head of the Santa Tower. Would you like to be the village chief?"

Green made a joke.

...

Seven days later.

In the sandstorm world, in addition to water resources, water storage containers are also extremely precious resources. Although containers cannot generate water resources, they can make themselves invincible when drought water resources are the most scarce and most precious. All oasis civilizations The reason why the royal family became the royal family is because they have the largest container, the lake!

Fortunately, it is now in a dry period. Although the bag of water brought by Green and Millie is not much, it is really pure water. "Water" is naturally extremely precious.

On the streets, there were very few people, and they were all listlessly enjoying the shade. The giant cactus was the most important plant in the city. Not only had the needles of this plant that contained a lot of water been pulled out, but it was also filled with various holes. , are all caused by long-term smoking after being inserted into the tube by hungry people.

The owner of the shop is a thin and shrewd old man, wearing a gray hat. He handed Millie the water in the water bag and poured out a few drops. He dipped it in a cotton swab and tasted it. nodded.

"Distilled purified water, no magazines, yes, what do you want in exchange?"

This bag of pure water is nothing to wealthy merchants, but to ordinary civilians, it is considered a fortune. As he spoke, the old man took out a price list and a series of various supplies.

"Fifty seabuckthorn fruits, five kilograms of air-dried mutton, a duckbill hoe, and three water hyacinths."

After Green selected the most needed supplies, the old man frowned and said, "No, your water is not enough, unless you leave this leather bag here."

The cowhide bag was given to Millie by Yuta. The workmanship is very fine, and the inside and outside are double-layered for insurance. Relatively speaking, Green's is much simpler, and the old guy didn't like it.

Frowning, Green gave a "dang" sound, threw a red stone on the table, and said in a low voice: "Occasionally dug out, although it is only the lowest-level defective product, it should be no problem to make up the difference. "

After a while, Green took the goods and was about to leave contentedly, but was stopped by Millie.

"They're all in, wouldn't it be a loss if you don't go to the Palace Square?"

Every oasis is the relatively lowest depression in a region, so it is possible to store enough water during the short rainy season for evaporation and consumption during the dry season, so as not to cut off the water in the oasis and be attacked by sandworms.

There is no concept of pollution in Sandstorm World. Most of the workshops and other handicraft workshops built by Desert Ship are located in the palace and noble territories, which are convenient for management and safer. Although the oasis city-state is relatively safe, it is not absolutely safe. Occasionally Some hungry sandworms strayed in, causing casualties.

The population around Green and Millie gradually became denser, and the buildings changed from earthy structures to masonry structures.

The two of them walked around and took a look, fully devoting themselves to the field of vision of the lowly beings in this world. From the factory building buzzing with "boom" and "boom", one could vaguely see people walking around, very densely packed, and most of them Some are children.

"Cheap labor, if the natural resources of this world are more abundant, or if there is a catastrophe of rules, causing the sandworms to be extinct on a large scale, and the information exchange completes a qualitative change in technology, there may be a chance to complete the unification of the world. Now, the sandworms Although it is the top creature of the food chain in this world, it cannot go further because of the wisdom of the group and the defects in evolution."

Green is still examining everything in this world with the eyes of a higher creature.

On the other side, Millie, who was walking and watching, suddenly stopped, looked up at a statue, frowned and said, "Green, look at this statue, don't you think he looks like someone?"

"someone?"

Green looked at the statue Millie was pointing at a few more times, shook his head and said, "Who does it look like?"

"I think he looks a bit like a real wizard with four rings, what do you think?"

Millie's words made Green startled, and after a closer look, he found that the expression on the statue was quite similar!
