Vol 4 Chapter 264: Cambridge impressions

After solving the series of troubles at hand, Liu Zhensha took a group of followers and joined the expedition sacrificial group. After paying homage to the of war Campas in the main temple, he officially embarked on a desert journey. [m rapid update]
The King City of Bemun is located in the northwest corner of the Danube Wilderness. From the aerial view, the densely grassy Danube Wilderness reaches Shabak. If it winds further north, it will be a standard diarrhea. Because the land is barren, not only animal husbandry cannot be developed, but even the most basic living requirements cannot be met. Therefore, the more the whole sacrificial group goes north, the more people are rarer; in addition to the yellow-brown gravel-like ground, short shrubs And the jujube bushes, the white dead wood and the bones of wild beasts, are the only masters of this open field.
After a long journey of about fifteen days, the green rituals did not shine for many days, the Cambridge Oasis finally arrived, and the rituals who had eaten enough wind and sand finally breathed a sigh of relief. On the way, the chief shaman only took a whip behind them and urged them on their way. The younger priests were okay, and the older ones almost didn’t get scattered by the carriage dispatched by the military. Old bones.
Seeing a mighty row of horse-drawn carriages appearing in the field of vision, the towers of Cambridge Oasis sounded a series of bleak and distant snails. A team of about a hundred beacon cavalry rushed out of the city gate, beating their mounts, and raising dust in the sky. , Rush over to the carriage formation of the priests.
The chief shaman Liu shockedly took off the cloth towel that was masked on his face and jumped down from the carriage. While beating the dust on the cloth towel, he greeted all the priests and followers to gather.
"! Don't be too slow!" Liu Zhensha pointed at the chaotic formation of the priests and yelled at him, filling the frame of the chief shaman.
"Stand up!" The Feilengcui militia was even more of a fake tiger, bluffing and reprimanding the two hundred worshippers.
Liu Zhenshah took Helen, Moer, Jeanne, and Cici out of the carriage, took out the horseshoe flask, unscrewed the lid, poured a large mouthful of rum, and fed Guoguo standing on his shoulders. He gargle in his mouth, "Bah", and spit out all the wine in his mouth on the cracked sandy ground in front of him. The rich smell of wine immediately attracted countless enviable eyes from all around.
"What a beautiful oasis! The desert is so beautiful!" Helen pointed to this oasis hidden by the vast sand and sea, smiled and opened her arms. This is about to be the place where she teaches the teachings, and it is completely in harmony with Feilengcui. The different natural environment makes Helen full of freshness and curiosity.
"If you stay for a long time, it will feel very normal." Cici smiled. Since getting the amplified instrument, the pearl lyre, Xiao Nizi has gradually become less restrained than before. But what followed was a shocked dependence on Liu, and like the little nun, he became a follower of the lord.
"It's pretty, I have to take it." Moer said so, and the little nun Joan also shined, so the two of them took out the Divi crystal ball and started shooting in a different direction.
Liu Zhensheng tidied up his porcupine skin crown, and immersed himself in this unprecedented scene with everyone.
The huge figure of the Taklamago Desert, like an ancient monster, quietly waits on the surface of this land where civilization and barbarism meet, death and life overlap. The boundary between heaven and earth appears to be even more mysterious here; the Dunau Wasteland has officially come to an end. From west to east, low prickly pear, wormwood and euphorbia vegetation are in the desert and There is a clear boundary between the land.
Unlike other people who patronized and admired the scenery, Liu was shocked by the instinct of a soldier, and he did not forget to take out the sheepskin map issued by the army to compare the terrain here.
Judging from the topography marked on the map of the military department, because the Bimun Kingdom’s west and north are as close to the ocean, the source of the Taklimago Desert is just interspersed with the two roads, which span hundreds of miles. One north between two coasts. From the topographical trend, the desert resembles a big Yali, with the narrowest stalk at the end of the Cambridge Oasis.
The reason why the last border station of the Beimong Kingdom was set up here instead of extending into the desert can be clearly seen from the map. If it extends further north, the desert will suddenly open up after two turns. Shows a huge figure that is dozens of times wider than in the field of vision-in such a vast stationing enough troops, not only is there no danger to defend, but also the large number of logistics supplies and soldiers is not a place with weak national power What the Kingdom of Beamon can do.
In Liu Zhensheng’s opinion, this Taklimago desert can be called not only the border of Bimon, but also the northwestern border of the Aegean continent. It is this area controlled by Cambridge Oasis.
Although the Taklimago Desert is theoretically not disconnected from the entire continent, the intelligent creatures of the desert have always had very little contact with the Bemun and humans on the entire continent. Except for a very small number of commercial contacts, the outside world has a very Almost nothing is known about the intelligent creatures and the composition of the country living in the Margot Desert. There is nothing unreasonable to regard this vast desert as another unknown new continent. [m rapid update]
Liu Zhensheng couldn't help sighing. Although the military map in his hand is known as a top-secret file, there is actually nothing too worth keeping secret. The entire map, except for the four new oases explored in the battle last year, is marked. There is a blank space left. Although the main priest-level trial site is in the Taklimago Desert, it does not seem to be extended too much on the map-of course, Liu Shock, who is no longer a rookie, is naturally. No longer believe that the chief priest of the golden robe still needs to try such a nonsense thing.
"Excuse me, is your excellency the divine comedy shaman Richard?" A majestic greeting interrupted Liu Shock's cranky thoughts.
A burst of yellow dust flew, a squadron of Ostrich Ostrich fighters from the Ostriches took the reins and stopped in front of Liu Shock. Their mounts were blues about three meters high. With its huge claws and the inertia of rapid rein, the ostrich cut deep furrows out of the ground. A knight officer carrying a spear, holding the down feather on his helmet, gave a bow to Liu Shock.
"I'm Richard, the divine comedy shaman, kid." Liu Zhensha had a good impression of the Ostrito knight. From the perspective of riding skills, these ostriches are very elite, worthy of the border troops stationed at the border, but they are slightly longer. Every ostrich cavalry was two meters away, and he was very strong, but the bald head and the pair of bald wings behind them were much uglier than the other Bod.
After getting an affirmative answer, all the ostrich cavalry slapped the neck of the blue-necked ostrich under the seat, and there was a sound of "mocking" in their mouths. The blue-necked ostriches immediately squatted to the ground, all the cavalry clung to their spears. , Jumped quickly from the saddle, lined up neatly in a column, and paid a military salute to Liu Zhensha and all the priests.
"Under the crown, I am the captain of the fourth squadron of the Cambridge mixed team, Pierrot. On behalf of the team leader Boban, I welcome the arrival of the squadron and the adults of the expedition sacrificial squadron!" Just open your mouth.
"You are so polite, my child, to be able to meet you warriors who guard the country. I and the expedition sacrificial group are equally honored." Liu Zhensha's answer is also a hypocritical old oil shaman. .
"Thank you for the compliment." Pierrot's squadron seemed to be moved: "Mian, Lord Borg has prepared a camping site for the expedition sacrificial group, which is in the Mani temple in the oasis. After you have settled down, Lord Kahn, the commander of the Expeditionary Corps, will have a meeting with you, and all the priests and Helen Lanxia will all be present."
"My child, would you please guide the way to the camp?" Liu Zhen shook with a smile. He didn't expect that the entire expedition was led by Prince Kahn, the Lionheart. That was an old enemy. I don't know if Prince Richard is there. Although he was not lightly beaten last time, one month has passed, and it must be almost better.
After Captain Pierrot gave a military salute to Liu Shock, he did not rush on his way. Instead, he first came to the northwestern province and the sacrificial chariot of Caiyu City and knelt down on one knee to the third sister and brother of Gotani. Said a call.
It wasn't this scene, Liu Zhenshock almost forgot, the Ostrich of the Ostrite tribe is also the Bode family, the hereditary retainer of the Smai tribe.
Along the way, Liu Zhenhuan did not deliberately get close to the priests of Mourinho’s direct lineage. As the Silver Templar Knights, Gotani also joined his younger siblings to participate in the Battle of the Desert this time. Before the change, Liu Zhensha must have to pull her over to eat and drink, but for Cui Beiqian, Liu Zhensha really has no courage to talk to Gotanni anymore; Ningyu and the two fairy dragons broke up with him in Shabak, and stepped back. Before the trip to the Far East, he did not ask him why he stayed in the Southwest Guild Hall overnight. Helen and Mo'er seemed to have forgotten about this, which left Liu Shock's prepared excuses empty, but it seemed that they hadn't settled in their hearts.
Mourinho went to the Northwestern Province, preparing to migrate the Smail to the south bank of the Sanggan River, and he will be very busy in the short term; if Cui Beiqian is now promoted to the Great Shaman of Witherspoon, he will definitely It's a matter of day and night; if Cui Beiqian never went to Mourinho seriously, it would not be impossible for the scandal to be obliterated from then on. Liu Zhensha was originally a heartless guy. After more than ten days to digest, The knot in my heart has long since been solved.
But whenever he faced the third siblings of Gotani, he was always a little awkward no matter how open-minded.
Seeing Gotani's eyes were looking at him, Liu Zhensha quickly turned his head away, pretending to be nonchalant.
The ceremony of meeting the Patriarch was quickly over. Under the leadership of a squadron of Ostrit cavalry, all the sacrifices and followers of the entire expeditionary sacrificial group slowly marched into the Cambridge Oasis. Like Helen, the expeditionary sacrificial group Most of the priests came to the remote northwest edge for the first time. The scenery of the desert that they had never seen before made them look around and sigh. There is no military capacity at all, especially Gelini, like a happy one. Little Skylark is chirping very curiously. The three chief priests of the golden robe hindered Golini's identity, and no one was embarrassed to say anything, and Liu Zhensha didn't even see it.
"Why are these city walls so short? Why are they not stone?" Golini asked, pointing to the five low city walls on the edge of the oasis.
"Fei Ji, our entire Cambridge Oasis is about ten hectares of land. It is impossible to build a stone wall! Because there are no stones in the desert, we can only build the wall with embryonic soil and water. After being rammed, the sand wormwood becomes a breast wall, and the soil embryo will be very hard after being exposed to the scorching sun!
The Patriarch asked, and Pierrot Squadron certainly did not dare to neglect:
However, this kind of soil embryo city wall has restrictions on height and can only be reinforced At about four meters, no matter how high it is, there is a danger of collapse."
Cici didn't understand what the term "Fei Ji" meant, so she asked Liu Zhenhuan quietly. Liu Zhensheng told her that in the Bimong language, the princess is called "Wang Ji", the four big families of Bimeng, and the little princess of the Bod tribe should be called "Flying Ji" in Bimong. It's not a slander, but also the dignity of Princess Bald.
Cici suddenly realized that she did not expect that a small title could make so many tricks.
"This is called'Flying the Flying Girl'." Liu shocked with a smile.
"What kind of trees are they?" A dozen young women priests were also infected by Golini. They pointed to the tall trees on the side of the road and whispered to Captain Pierrot: "Isn't there no trees in the desert? Why? How many kinds of trees are there in Cambridge Oasis?"
"That's Populus euphratica, and the taller one is the date palm. The date palms are not yet mature, but we had dried them at that time. We can let you adults taste them. The greenery has been maintained very well in Cambridge. We A lot of grapes and jujubes are also planted here.
Squadron Pierrot’s words were not without pride.
Liu Zhensha was also observing the surrounding environment, and he nodded when he heard this. As the ostrich man said, the green environment of Cambridge is indeed excellent. It is really not easy to do this step in the desert. .
Helen is about to open a sacrificial academy here. If the environment is too bad, Liu Shock will not be relieved. Looking at it now, it is really no worse than Feilengcui; after entering from the city gate, it is about forty yards wide on both sides of the rammed earth road. It has always been decorated by palm trees and date palm trees. Although the surrounding buildings are mostly rough earth embryo houses, they are also quite interesting in the greenery. A large number of flower gardens are dotted among the trees and planted in The prickly pear and canna inside are in the blooming season, and you can smell the rich fragrance of flowers from afar, and you can see busy bees flying in the stamens.
At any rate, it can be regarded as half of the swan family. From the environmental design point of view, it can indeed be seen that the swan is mixed with the beautiful and elegant sentiment. When passing by a five-acre wide lake, Liu shocked even saw the lake. There is also a wooden covered bridge. The clear water is rippling with the reflections of blue sky, bridge piles and flowers and plants. A few short-tailed wild ducks roam peacefully on the blue waves, making the mirror-like lake light. It is like a beautiful and demure beauty.
"Masters, please come with me." Pierrot squadron captain put his mount, the blue-necked ostrich, into the animal pen on the roadside, and instructed the other cavalry to park the sacrificial carriages one by one to the roadside. In the post station.
"To cross the bridge?" Liu Zhenshake thought he was resting at the station. Who knew that Captain Pierrot had already stepped on the bridge.
"After Cambridge is the Mani Temple, the priests are arranged to camp there, the legionary staff is also located there, and the Kahn legion commander is waiting for your arrival." Pierrot squadron nodded and pointed. Opposite the covered bridge, a tall domed building covered by date palm trees said: "The Temple of Mani is the only stone building in our Cambridge Oasis. In order to maintain this monument, our Lord insisted not to dismantle it!"
"This lake is so clear! It looks like an emerald, I haven't had a bath for several days. Pierrot, don't forget to prepare some hot water for us at that time." Gorini looked straight at the clear lake. It seems that if no one is around, he is ready to jump down.
"Follow your instructions, Feiji." Pierrot smiled and said: "It is like coming home to the Cambridge Oasis. It is an honor for all Austruit to serve the three masters."
"Knight, can I ask you what the wood soaked in the water is for?" Liu shocked and asked, lying on the railing, pointing to the rows of wood soaked in the lake on the shore. These woods have no bark, about a bunch of thick, straight and straight, under the water, the snow-white tree poles are entangled with snails, green grasshoppers and algae. From time to time, a few small fish slip by and throw out one. The circle ripples, although the distance is a little far away, you can smell a very refreshing and pleasant fragrance on the wood.
"Is it used to build a house for beams? But it seems a bit wasted. This kind of wood is the most fragrant kind of wood I have ever smelled." Liu Zhenhuan did not wait for Captain Pierrot to answer, and asked again. Tao.
"Under the crown, this kind of wood is a specialty of our Cambridge oasisKanghu water sandalwood. The fragrance you smell is exactly sandalwood. This kind of water sandalwood grows on the bottom of this Kanghu lake, although it is difficult Mined, but it is the hardest wood. The spears and shields of our Ostrich warriors are all made of this wood. Even the Uzi steel knives of desert bandits cannot be cut with a single knife, and sparks will be emitted. "The captain of Pierrot's squadron made an exaggerated move, his expression unconcealable pride.
In the war against human robbers in the desert last year, many of the Beamon fighters were cut off by their opponents with a single blow, leaving the kingdom very shameless. There is a big problem with custom-made weapons from humans. Some Beimon warriors joked that after their sabers have cut an enemy, they have to step on them straight to continue cutting.
"Wow! Is it an underwater plant?" There was a sound of exclamation and discussion all around.
Damn! What is this, I have seen the forest in Chedi. Liu Zhenshake looked at this group of known erudites, but made a little fuss about the sacrifices with a sneer.
"It's a pity, water sandalwood should be a good spice." As a Fox, Helen immediately thought of the economic value of Kanghu water sandalwood: "As a spice, red sandalwood is very precious. I feel the fragrance of water sandalwood. More fascinating than red sandalwood. Knight Pierrot, why not sell this precious sandalwood as a spice to bring greater economic benefits to the kingdom?"
"Helen Lan..." Pierrot knew who was the fox beauty who was wearing a peacock feather sacrificial robe and holding the Codex in her hand. He hurriedly bowed and said, "... Lanxia does not know, this kind of water sandalwood is very difficult to attract. Burning, no matter how exposed to the sun is useless, thrown in a bonfire, it is like a stone, it can be burnt, but it takes a long time, if it is sawn into sawdust spice, ignition is the biggest problem."
"It's a pity." Helen didn't expect that although this thing is wood, it can't ignite fire, he was shocked and sighed.
"Knight, the scent of this wood really smells good, how much do you have in stock? I bought them all!" Liu was shocked and smelled the scent of sandalwood in his nose. He was not afraid of fire again and couldn't help being overjoyed. Buying things back to make furniture is simply too savory, fragrant and strong, Feilengcui happens to have a few elves carpenters, and the wood is harder, so you can slowly carve it.
The priests were all stupid, and Pierrot's squadron captain might not have thought that the chief shaman was about to fight. He didn't forget to do business and didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Mianxia, ​​since you want to buy, then you can give me a price." Golini said openly without admitting birth.
"There are probably a few hundred in this water?" Liu shocked, frowning and asked Pierrot.
"There are about two hundred in the water." Pierrot squadron stammered: "There are more than two hundred raw materials left in the warehouse, and four hundred raw materials have been processed, all gun barrels and shields. "
"I want it all." Liu shocked his eyes and rolled: "How about making fifty fist-sized agates together?"
"Wow~" The priests didn't know the shaman's family background, they were shocked by the price, and gave out neat exclamations.
"Fifteen fist-sized agates? This is a good price~EbookFREE.me~ Richard Mian is so generous. Our business is settled." Golini said with a smile: "Such a large agate is enough My sister and I have sculpted a few sets of jewelry, Pierrot. I will pay this subsidy separately to you."
"Follow your wishes, Feiji." Pierrot squadron captain smiled and said, "The water sandalwood is just a little troublesome when mining, but the king has long supported our 100 snap-billed turtle engineers. I think Master Borg Knowing this, I will never accept your subsidy."
Haha! In the future, no matter how much I move my bed, it won't "creak"! Liu shocked and thought to Mimi.
"Under the crown, Knight Pierrot, since Captain Kahn is waiting for us, and your business is finalized, should we continue on our way?" The new chief priest Qi Dan and the others became a little impatient.
"Qi~" Pierrot squadron leader snorted coldly, glanced at Master Qi Dan with a cold expression, turned and continued to lead the way.
Master Qi Dan's face was red and white by the action of the Ostrich Rider. Old Liu laughed beside him. The model clan was also a vassal of Mourinho. Master Qi Dan did not follow the Swan priest, but turned to Tago. It’s no wonder that this kind of loyal ostrich retainer is despised.
