Vol 7 Chapter 44: The key to the problem

Soon our two armies met at the border between the two countries, and the other side brought no fewer people than here. I glanced at the crowd and found the King William. His outfit and location showed his distinctive status.
军队 The armies of the two sides opened their positions as if they were going to fight. The two kings waved at the same time to stop their troops. Only two kings and a few personal guards plus a few of us went to the middle.
听说 "I heard that someone can help us solve the problem of water supply, are these three?" William didn't polite to us at all. Although he seemed to be very helpful, after all, he was young and had a far worse way of life than the old king.
The old king gave the three of us very politely. "These three nobles are here to help us." Look, this is called talking, whether it is false or not, at least it sounds comfortable, and a ruler will not be far away from the downfall.
"Is the three of you?" William didn't look at us for the first time, but swept away and said to the old king, "Where do you find someone? Trustworthy? I ..."
突然 I suddenly stood between the two kings and faced William behind the old king. "I'm not here to listen to your crap. I am ...!"
"You're bold!" A guard rushed up before I finished speaking, and my body didn't move to raise the leg to kick the guy down.
"I came to discuss business with you as a businessman. I'm going to check the water source. If you succeed, you can get clean water. As a beneficiary, you should pay a certain amount of compensation and provide some assistance."
Rose stood up and added: "The trading conditions will not be very harsh. Here is a list. Look at it." Rose passed a piece of paper.
William took me and Rose for a long time and decided to make a list of rewards. If I didn't see it, I rolled it into a paper ball and threw it back.
"You ...?" Rose angrily wanted to go to theory, but was pulled back by the old king's sharp eyes.
"King William, you're not right." The old guy was really a gangster, and now he's doing tricks. "Guests are kind to help, and it's worth paying some money. Isn't it necessary! Can the conditions be negotiated again?"
Rose gas mouth is sulking. "Husband, let's go, don't help them anymore!"
I held out the rose to go. "His Highness William, we are businessmen, and peace is expensive. If the conditions are not good enough to discuss, what conditions do you think are acceptable?" Damn, if I had put your head in my stomach before, but now the interests are important. If a businessman loses his fortune, I will lose it!
William finally spoke. "I believe you have knocked a lot from the old man. He does n’t mean that he is also deceiving me. Anyway, if you help him manage the water, I will also get better together here. Why should I pay separately? If you have a way to resume worship Yate's water source just let us have a problem with the water source and ask me for compensation! "He said with a chuckle and turned on his horse and ran to the front.
Rose yelled violently: "I'm so mad, how can there be such an unreasonable person." She looked around like she was looking for something: "Bow, bow? Who has a bow, I want to shoot this bastard. Furious Me. "
I was also suffocated with anger, but I haven't gotten out of control yet, but Rose is so angry that she won't help her fire, isn't my husband doing it for nothing? Raised her right hand in front of her, the various locks on the armguards popped open together, and a glittering golden crossbow appeared under the black demon dragon armguards. This is actually the Avengers. After the last time the armor absorbed Dragon Soul, it became detachable.
Rose saw that I immediately responded and took the crossbow from my hand. I reminded beside me, "Be careful, this thing is very powerful."
Rose doesn't really want to shoot people, she just has nowhere to release two arrows to defeat. The Avengers are self-loading, and the arrow is already on the top of the rose. Glancing at the trigger slightly, a crossbow flew out. For a moment, Rose didn't control her strength and was tilted back by the recoil, but fortunately I helped her by the side.
箭 The arrow hit the sky because of the shaking of the body when the rose was launched, but I do n’t know if it was a coincidence. After the arrow flew up, it fell down and hit the of Weilan's white horse accurately. The horse jumped up as soon as it hurt, and William was unprepared to be thrown down immediately and embarrassed.
"Haha! Call you horizontal!" Rose jumped happily, and the old king and the guards on our side laughed.
哪里 Where will William be humiliated freely, if he knows tolerance, he won't conflict with us. William, who had re-emerged, let the troops attack angrily. I expected that he would retaliate, but he did not expect him to attack the troops regardless of the overall situation.
It is not a day or two that the old king has fought with this William. He is also familiar with William's character. When Rose was shooting an arrow, he had already started ordering the troops behind to prepare for unexpected situations. At this point, seeing that the opposite army was in action, the shield array was immediately set out, although the shield was broken fortunately, it was okay.
This matter is considered to be caused by roses, and I am not good at letting the old king's army stand alone. It seems that the magic pet needs help! "Tank!" At this time, only tanks are more efficient.
Sure enough, frankly frightened the opponent as soon as he appeared on the huge body. He lifted both forelimbs, the whole body stood up, and then slammed down to concentrate the strength of the whole body on the bones of the forelimbs and smashed to the ground. When the two bone hammers touched the ground, they immediately made a loud noise, and the whole ground trembled like an earthquake. The cavalry on the opposite side was shocked and jumped three feet high. None of the fallen horses could stand. The cavalry who fell off immediately turned over.
I pointed forward with one hand: "Tank, Longyan sprays." Tanks that have eaten dragon meat will use Longyan.
The horrible eyes of the puppet tank flashed green, his body stopped suddenly and started to inhale, and then suddenly sprayed red crimson dragon inflammation. The cavalry on the other side was still lying on the ground and struggling. Suddenly a large area of ​​Long Yan came away! At this moment, a large number of soldiers were lit and turned into a fireman running wildly on the ground.
Although the opposite William would not be a man, the military commander was very good. After discovering that the cavalry was frustrated, he immediately ordered the troops behind to push the heavy crossbow car out. This thing was originally to deal with the shield formation. He didn't expect that he even brought this thing.
He heard only a squeak, and the crossbow was wound. A thick stern arrow was shot, but only a "dang" sound was heard, and everyone clearly saw the giant crossbow rubbing a Mars on the tank and flying out. Q Tian ran over and patted me. "Is this your magic pet?"
"Hmm, what's up?"
"The defense is so high?"
"Of course, didn't you hear me calling his name?"
"Yes, he's called a tank." Wentian remembered it. "It really is worthy of the name, stronger than a tank!"
The old king also whispered, "This is your man?"
I nodded. "It's my magic pet, how about it? Are you confident in my strength?"
"Yes. Of course."
________________________________________
The tank suddenly stretched out while we were talking, and the elytra on his back was erected, and I saw what he was shaking by seeing the flashing electric arc in his body. "Tank, no guns are allowed." I also count on him to help complete the task, what to do now after the shelling? It's all that mission limit, otherwise just casually calling a few dragons is OK. Hearing my order, the tank immediately retracted the extension tube, but fortunately I shouted fast.
"Be careful over there." Rose reminded us to notice that the trebuchet had been erected behind the Rosetta army on the opposite side. This William was prepared to fight at first.
The tank looked at the trebuchet over there and immediately rushed in that direction. Although the large trebuchet is not a threat to the tank, it will still bleed if it is smashed. Seeing the tank rushing past, the soldiers there were of course trying to stop, but unfortunately the opposing forces lacked outstanding individuals. Although the overall combat effectiveness of the soldiers was higher than that of the tank, a single soldier was simply an ant and could not stop the tank. The steel paradox array used to deal with the cavalry's charge was like a bamboo fence in the face of the tank. The soldier's sword cut on the tank had no response except for the splash of Mars. Even the heavy tomahawk couldn't cut the nearly one meter thick shell of the tank.
Squinting as the tank traversed the entire Rosetta army position, the soldiers could do nothing. The fully-expanded trebuchet was smashed into a pile of pieces of shredded wood by the hammer of a tank, and the crossbow car next to it was broken into scrap iron by the way. William's guards pulled him out of the position to avoid the danger of being crushed into meatloaf.
Although everyone sees the tank is very brave, but I know that the tank's health value is very fast. The soldiers' attacks are basically not broken, but the blood loss is also very fast, and there are too many soldiers. "Rose, add blood to the tank. My healing is not as good as yours."
Rose nodded, and a high-level recovery was gathered, and when she was about to send out, Rose suddenly screamed. There was a bang that magic exploded around us. Healing is also magic. Interruptions in use will also explode. Rose fell down around her waist, and Princess Lara standing next to her was holding a dagger in her hand.
"Crap." A loud slap flew Princess Lara out of the air and made a few laps in the air before landing, and fell to the ground without moving.
玫瑰 "Rose, are you okay?" I was afraid of something unexpected about Rose.
Rose frowned and covered her waist. "Fortunately, the active connection of the order suit stuck the dagger. She couldn't get it to the end."
"Don't move, I will help you use the healing technique."
"Aren't you taking care of the tank first?"
"It's okay, he can stand for a while."
As the trainer of the beast trainer, the main battle method is to add status to the magic pet, so I will also use some magic such as healing, but usually there are special response personnel do not need me to do it, so I have never used it. Fortunately, the rose injury is not serious, and the first-level treatment can also be used.
The old king ran to us with a look of sincerity: "Are you okay? I'm sorry, I didn't expect this ruthless girl to hurt you. She was also confused by that William. Don't blame her." The old king knew his daughter Like William, but after all, she is her own daughter.
老 This old king has been pretty good to us, I don't want to mess with him yet. "You better discipline your daughter and don't let her show up near us before we leave, otherwise I can't guarantee what she's doing next time."
"Yes! Thank you!" The old king now sees the strength of the tank and is very respectful to us.
He was about to stand up and I held him. "It's fine for me to let go of your daughter, but my wife can't hurt in vain. I think the necklace around your daughter's neck is good, and I want to give it to my wife."
The old king said nothing and dragged the necklace around her daughter's neck and handed it to me. I took it and brought the rose immediately. The princess was shocked by my slap just now, and the necklace was taken away without any reaction. Baby, baby, it's finally in my hands.
I saw that I was no longer holding it. The king turned around and asked the guard to lift the princess and lock the princess in the room in my presence. I knew he did it for me, but he could do it well.
Rose is not severely injured, and a simple treatment will restore it. There was some tension in the tank without the support of healing magic, so I had to recruit him back. Bayet ’s army was complete here, and Rosetta ’s troops were long overdue. The tanks retreated and they were afraid to chase them and had to retreat.
Looking at the Rosetta troops far away, I said to Rose beside me, "It seems that things are not as simple as we think?"
Xu Wentian said on the other side: "The F-level mission is difficult here. The other party has an unknown king. Just defeating the monster to solve the water problem may not allow the two countries to coexist peacefully."
Rose said: "We can use the first approach."
"What?" Asked Tian, ​​startled. "Do you really intend to destroy Rosetta?"
I asked Tian obviously did not understand the meaning of roses, but I understand. Turned to the old king and said, "How about another deal?"
"As long as there are benefits, there is no problem." The king's enthusiasm for benefits is not worse than mine.
"Do you think that doubling the strength of a country is not considered a benefit?"
当然 "Of course!" Greed flashed in the old man's eyes. "But how does this happen?"
"I have not decided on the specific method for the time being, but I will tell you when I think about it. But my intention is to merge Rosetta into your Bayet, so that your number of people and land area have doubled. What do you think? ? "
"It is not so easy to annex a country!" Although the old king was greedy but not stupid, he also knew that some things could not be solved by force.
"This is not something you have to worry about, we will handle the specific things, you just have to wait for the receiving country."
"Of course that's fine." The old king rubbed his hands a bit like a bandit.
"Let's go back? This Rosetta is not an adversary that can be resolved through negotiation, or the water problem is the first solution. This is the fundamental thing." Rose reminded me that it was time to do business.
"Yes, let's go."
Back to the palace, I brought all the supplies with me. The old king chose 50 of the most elite warriors for us to help us complete the task. According to my opinion, these people are probably not able to return. The F-level mission is undead impossible.
According to the information provided by the King's advisory group, this Rosetta and Bayet are completely surrounded by a circular mountain range, which is why there are few foreigners in the two countries. I studied the map carefully and asked some residents. We investigated that all the water in this area seems to come from the snow of the highest peak of the mountain and the rain collected by the mountain itself. These waters were sent to a large lake at the foot of the mountain by a dark river in the mountain. The lake water flows through the surface through the rest of the mountain, and some of the lake water seeps into the ground to form groundwater.
After researching this information, Rose suggested that we first investigate whether there is any problem with the snow water on the mountain top, so that we can find out where the water is polluted along the water source. Those elite soldiers who assisted us said that the mountains were very steep and could not be climbed, that is to say, they could not go up, but it was a waste to just investigate too many people. We plan to take a few people to see the situation first.
The captain who found the soldiers asked: "Are you able to tell if there is a problem with the water? I am referring to a quick and safe test, not to let people drink water for experiments."
_______________________________________________
The captain said without hesitation: "It is very good to test. Poison water has a special flavor, and it is obvious that it can be separated by just licking the tongue. People like us who are physically strong need to drink a large bowl of poison water. There are adverse reactions, and a few drops will not hurt people. "
"Well, you find the 5 most clever ones. Note that the combat effectiveness is not important, but you must use your brain and be flexible."
"I understand." The captain quickly found five men, plus six people.
I let them sit on the top of the tank with Wen Tian, ​​and I took off with a rose, mainly because the elytra was expanded when the tank was flying so it was not convenient to ride. Nine of us and the tank flew over to the highest peak together. After flying over a forest, we saw the mountain peak. The height was not very high, but the area was not small. We found a place to land above the snow line on the top of the mountain and took everyone down to start looking for water problems.
They tasted the snow and it was confirmed that there was no problem with the snow. In order to ensure reliability, I melted it with eternal snow, and then took some ice from under the snow, and it turned out that the ice was no problem. It seems that there is no problem with the total source of water, so the water must have been contaminated during the flow. Because the tank was summoned at the beginning, now I am restricted to summon the pet, and even if the tank is stowed, it is not allowed to be replaced, so the plan to summon the pioneers to make holes cannot be achieved.
We can't study the flow of underground rivers if we can't make holes, we have to go down to the mountain to see first. When everyone reached the foot of the mountain, they walked towards that big lake. Everyone here knows this lake, but few people can come here, the main reason is that the lake is surrounded by a forest, and there are too many monsters in the forest, so everyone can't get here.
Because the area of ​​this lake is very large, it is easy to find. We found the outlet of the underground river by the lake. The water gushed from a gap in the mountain, like a waterfall. We went to check the water quality of this waterfall and found that the waterfall is also drinking water.
A samurai tasted the water in the lake, but still no problem. Rose Road: "This is the water inlet, even if the lake is polluted, there will be no response here. We will go to the lake center and the water outlet to test."
I took a warrior to the center of the lake to test the water, and others went to the water outlet on the other side of the lake to test it. We still found no pollution in the heart of the lake, which means that there is no problem with the lake. It's a pity that this lake is too dangerous, if only people here can cross the forest to get water here. I flew the warrior to Hukou to meet with other people. As a result, I saw that the samurai were drinking water at the mouth. They all tasted it from the beginning. Why did they drink so much?
After seeing me coming down, the ignoring leader stood up and said, "The water here is poisonous, but the concentration is much lower than the toxins we have. If the water on our side has only this toxin standard, we can drink it with rainwater, Then there will be no problems! "
"There is a weak toxin at the water outlet, but not in the lake, which means that the source of the toxin is not far from here. Let's look downstream."
I walked downstream along the river and gradually entered the forest. After walking about a kilometer, we tested the water quality again. This time the captain just tasted a drop of river water and tasted it. As a result, he immediately spit it out and desperately spit. "This water tastes so heavy, it's much more concentrated than ours. If this water would kill someone with just one sip, my tongue would be a little numb!"
"Then don't have to taste it, it must be the source of the toxin. Tank, you go back and take over the rest. We have to search here. There must be a toxin source nearby."
The tank was obedient to pick up people, and we started to check the water quality nearby. The water in this section does not need to be tasted. You can smell a clear odor with your nose. It seems that the source of the poison is very strong, but we did not find anything until the tank brought everyone in. After all, too few people search very slowly.
The newcomers are much faster to help with the search, and soon someone will find the problem. "team leader!"
"What is it?" The Captain Samurai asked.
"You better come and see here."
We gathered there together, and saw the warrior pointing to the ground next to him. I took a look, and didn't notice anything at first, but after a closer look, I found that there was a large mass of gel-like things sticking to a plant on the ground. That plant had completely dried up, and it seemed that it was not long. Otherwise the leaves should fall.
Xu Wentian wanted to touch me with his hands, and I took out a garbage whiteboard sword. He stabbed a bit with the tip of the sword, and the sword immediately began to smoke. Wentian was startled, thinking fortunately he didn't touch it.
尖端 The tip of the long sword did not soften even though it smoked. It seems that this is not a strong acid. A samurai sniffed and said, "This smell looks like that toxin!"
When he said that the samurai around him said that the smell was indeed the same, that was to say that the thing was toxin. But we do n’t know what the toxin is, or there is no way to solve the problem!
Rose looked at the toxin and said to me: "This should be left by some kind of animal. It was dripped from above this plant. This plant appears to have been killed by the toxin."
Asked Tian looked at the plant said: "It can drop to this height, this creature is not small!" The plant is 60 cm tall. If this creature is not a toxin sprayed on purpose, it means that this guy is not too big small.
"This is also there." A warrior over there called out, and we hurried over.
This time it was even more scary. A large drop of crystal clear venom gel was hanging on a leaf more than two meters above the ground. The entire half of the branch of that big tree was withered. Rose looked at it: "It seems that the analysis is wrong. This thing is not big, it will climb trees!"
"If you can climb a tree, you will definitely leave claw marks on the tree. Please pay attention to it."
A large group of people immediately began to look around on the surrounding tree trunk. Suddenly I was nervous and looked back in one direction, staring over there for a long time without seeing anything. I looked back with confusion and continued to look for claw marks, but I still thought about the reaction just now. I just felt a sense of being peeped, and it was extremely cold, as if there was a cold air coming from the soles of my feet to the top of my head. What is it that gives me that feeling?
"This way." A samurai finally found the claw marks.
I ran over and looked at the claw marks. The mark was very strange, with two deep cuts appearing on each side of the tree. Generally, animals will leave side by side claw marks when climbing trees, but why is this a single one? And two marks appeared on both sides. These two marks are more than one meter and two points above the ground, and they are horizontal. The cut is like a knife. ,
切口 This cut illustrates a lot of problems. The horizontal cutout indicates that the creature was not going up or down, it was squatting on the tree. What creature can fix itself on a tree?
Rose looked at it for a long time and said, "I don't think it's right. This creature should not leave such claw marks no matter what it is. It can't stand at this angle. Besides, there won't be any creatures climbing trees with only two toes! "
"What would this be?"
"There are also claw marks on this side." A samurai shouted.
"There are also here."
"It's a lot here."
All of a sudden, we found a lot of claw marks, and these marks were almost everywhere in the direction of deep forest. The height of these traces is about 1.2 meters, which makes us even more strange. What creature would bounce around at such a high position?
"Isn't these the claw marks left by climbing trees?" Asked Tian Tian's bold guess. "Maybe this is a sign, just like the animals leave their scent information everywhere to mark the territory. This guy likes to be on the tree. Draw a bar mark? "
"Unlikely?" Rose touched the traces on the tree. "These marks are two or three inches deep, so you don't need to cut them so deep. At the time, there must be attachments, so you will leave such deep marks. . "
I looked at the traces again ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Is there a problem with the distance between these traces? From the depth of the cut, the load was not less than one ton at that time. The volume of such a heavy creature should not be small, but you can see that almost every tree on this beast trail has traces, and there are traces on both sides of the road. This thing should be Do n’t like the zigzag route? "
"That's not right, that's not right. What the is this?" Asked Tian, ​​crouching on the ground with his head in anxiety.
Suddenly I turned around suddenly and saw a dark shadow disappear between the two trees. "Don't run." I screamed and rushed up. After two and a half months behind her, she chased away from my body and asked, and they saw that I ran and followed me.
I rushed to the place where the black shadow I saw just now, looked around, and only saw a thing in the distance that seemed to be a tail disappeared. I hurried to chase it again, but disappeared after chasing that position. Half a month slammed a tree and cut it, and a dark red object appeared behind it, but it moved like lightning and disappeared, and two and a half months quickly made a bend to catch up.
Suddenly there was a shock in front of the tank. The tank landed from the air and waved a sickle-like forearm in front of the thing to cut off a large tree, but the guy turned sharply and turned and disappeared. This thing moves too fast and is especially adapted to scurrying between trees.
"There." I reached out and pointed, and a fierce one-and-a-half-month turn turned to the front to stop the monster. The thing turned around and wanted to run again, but another half a month later it was stopped again. When it turned again, the tank had blocked it. The four directions of the monster were blocked by me, the tank, and two and a half months respectively. This time, see how you run.
"Ah!" Suddenly a scream came from behind me, in the direction of Rose. Oops!
