Chapter 70
==================
[The mystery of Lina's life experience - surprise! A person with the ability to influence others has appeared beside the lord. Have you also discovered the unique power of this little girl in front of you?]
[Open the new stage mission in advance: Racial Conflict]
[Racial Conflict (I) — The Mystery of Lina's Life: Perhaps we could visit the Elf Forest in the south sometime?]
New tasks are always triggered inexplicably.
Lian Yun didn't expect that Lina, one of the people who had been by his side the longest, would also trigger the task.
But considering Lina's "unknown race", there are clues.
She read the mission statement again.
Probation skills?
Lian Yun looked at her: "Lina, do you feel anything different?"
Lina turned around while holding the guardian bird: "No."
Lian Yun glanced at the level above her head.
Just when she signed the master pet contract, her experience increased rapidly and now she has reached level 5.
Under normal circumstances, this non-task behavior should not generate experience points.
It seems that we have to return to the small town of Sunflower to find out the outcome.
"Can you ask them which cave has water?"
Lina nodded, approached them solemnly, and tried to communicate with them for the first time.
After a while, she raised her head: "The hole in the middle."
The little frog quickly received Lanna's instructions, jumped into the water, and swam towards the dim cave in the middle.
Lanna also sat down quietly, closed his eyes, and connected with the little frog's spirit and shared perception.
The little frog soon came into the cave.
With the help of the little frog's better eyesight, Lanner gradually became familiar with the darkness before his eyes. He could now vaguely see the scene in front of him in the darkness.
Following the tiny fluctuations in the water around him, he quickly found the water outlet.
It was a round hole, and the water flowed from it.
This water outlet was originally several meters above the ground.
The slow rate of water flow also explains why it took many years to flood these caves.
"Can it get in?" Lian Yun asked.
Lanna sensed it and said, "The little frog's body can just fit through. The flow rate inside is not very fast. I will continue to move forward while ensuring its safety."
It swam easily in and out of the water against the weak current, and the view in front of it suddenly became clear.
It is no longer a cramped cave, but a dark yet vast body of water. The current is strong but not enough to hurt people. The little frog can stabilize its body in the water and move back and forth easily.
Lanna can feel the fluctuation of water flow in one direction through the little frog.
You can also feel the cool sweetness of the water.
From time to time, a few black shadows flashed in the dark blue water, swimming upstream with their light and agile bodies.
"There are fish in it?" several people asked in surprise.
"I can't see what it looks like, but it must be a fish."
Lanna suddenly opened her eyes: "Let's go out."
"go out?"
"Yes, I can feel its location on the ground, so we can find the most suitable route to dig for the water source."
"This body of water is large, with many forks. Perhaps we can find a suitable excavation site somewhere in town."
They had a brief discussion and left No. 1685 and Lina here to take care of things, while Lian Yun took Lana and Aibei out of the cave.
Lanna walked towards the town with bated breath, communicating with the little frog above and below the ground.
We passed several waterway branches on the way, and surprisingly, the one leading to the town was a wider waterway.
They returned to the town quickly, and Gary led his men to follow Lanner's pace. Finally, they determined the water source extraction site in the open space of the town, which was near the planned frog farm.
Finally, Lanna stopped and nodded to Gerry.
"If we dig down from here, we can find a new water source." Lanna said firmly.
Lian Yun looked around. This place was on the edge of the town.
Drawing water from here is convenient for irrigating farmland nearby, while also being far away from the downtown area and not disturbing residents.
"We can dig a river," Lian Yun said, extending his hands to both sides. "It will go around the town and supply every part of it."
Gerry's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea."
"Then start digging here, so that we can call the little frog back." Lian Yun said.
Abe dug very quickly. The orcs had just returned from lunch break and soon joined the team in digging the river.
The underground river was dozens of meters underground, and it wasn't long before Aibei stopped and said, "I hear the sound of water flowing!"
Everyone was so surprised that they stopped digging downwards and changed the direction to extend outward, making it wider and longer. Finally, they were able to dig out a river that went around the town.
He glanced at the crumbling wooden guardrail again. Most of the monsters in the desert had never encountered water, so this circle of river could serve as an extra layer of guardrail.
Fortunately, there was plastic soil under the town's stone bricks, so the river digging project went very smoothly.
Several orcs worked together, digging the soil in front while others were sent behind to sort out the details and stabilize the river channel.
Lian Yun took advantage of this opportunity to send someone to pick up Lina and the others, and then went to find the caravan.
The caravan has been waiting for a long time.
"Are you done with your work, sir?" the captain said with a smile.
Lian Yun nodded: "We can discuss long-term cooperation now."
"That's great." The captain did not hide his happiness about cooperating with the town.
For the next hour, the caravan explained and mapped out the nearby trade routes and the most popular trade commodities for Lian Yun.
Lian Yun discovered that the main city and other towns needed very different things.
For example, while other towns were still purchasing vegetable seeds, production tools, and daily necessities, jewelry in the main city was in short supply.
The captain smiled as if he was not surprised. "It has been like this for years. The prices offered by the main city are high, so most caravans prefer to go to the main city."
However, as one city grows, the other shrinks, and it becomes difficult to meet the needs of other cities.
"The gap between the rich and the poor is too big." Lian Yun muttered softly.
In the end, Lian Yun signed an agreement with them, and they maintained a long-term employment relationship with Bubu Town.
Lian Yun gave them commissions and orders every time they came, and they were responsible for transporting and purchasing various seeds, farming tools, orders from townspeople, and news from all parties to the town.
"Lastly, we may not be able to find out important information," the captain reminded.
"It doesn't matter," Lian Yun didn't expect them to stumble upon any shocking secrets. This was not a movie, there wouldn't be so many coincidences.
And most importantly, some conspiracies are always carried out quietly.
It invades people's lives little by little from the smallest details.
"I just want to know what you've seen and heard, to broaden my horizons. If you find anything strange, please write it down. I'd be very interested."
The captain agreed repeatedly.
The caravan was about to depart. Lian Yun, thinking of what had happened that morning, decided to give it a try and asked the captain, "Do you know which race has a strong affinity for animals?"
"Maybe... it's an elf? I'm not sure. That's what the older generation passed down, but elves haven't appeared on the continent in a long time."
Since the war, the elves have lived in the forest, surrounded by poisonous fog, and isolated from the outside world.
Lian Yun nodded thoughtfully.
She escorted the caravan out of town. On the way, they passed a canal that was being dug and a half-finished farm. The captain was surprised: "What is this for?"
"Raising frogs provides humans with good meat products."
In fact, the caravan was also shocked when they first learned that they were eating monsters. They explained to Lian Yun that the monster meat was poisonous, but Lian Yun tasted it himself and said: Not only is it not poisonous, it is also very fragrant.
This is very subversive.
This is true not only for the caravan, but also for Lian Yun.
When Fang Suo came to the town before, he heard that they were eating monster meat, which he found unbelievable. But that was the fact. Monsters were edible, so why did they think they were poisonous?
And after all these years, no one has tried it?
In response to Lian Yun's question, the caravan provided an answer: "Because the notice issued by the association and nobles in the main city proves that monster meat is both unpalatable and poisonous, and they have indeed produced evidence of many people dying from it. Besides, most monsters..."
Chai Beast, Bone Beast, Grass Flower Beast...which one looks edible?
Besides, the main city has spoken, so could the authority’s words be wrong?
Who dares to take the risk?
Lian Yun then realized that it was just a coincidence that he met the giant frog before he knew all this.
If she had been told that monster meat was poisonous the first thing she did when she got here, she probably wouldn't have been willing to take the risk and try it.
Lian Yun expressed his understanding and handed them some dried meat as food for the journey.
"What about this? Have you seen it?" Lian Yun took out the stone shell of a snake and turtle and placed it in front of him.
The caravan members gathered around, examining it and examining it. Finally, the captain made the analysis: "It looks a bit like the material of a suit of armor I've seen before."
He stretched out two fingers and twisted the surface of the stone shell, nodding again: "Yes, it is very similar, but the purity is much higher."
After saying this, he suddenly realized, "That is... an exhibit in the main city."
Lian Yun was like this: "So it's really valuable?"
"More than that," the captain touched it again a few more times, his eyes growing brighter and brighter. Suddenly he looked at Lian Yun and said, "That's the armor once worn by the Son of God!"
Lian Yun was also shocked.
However, after calming down, the captain patted Lian Yun on the shoulder and said, "Businessmen are all about integrity. I won't say anything nonsense! But you have to let me see the set you make."
Lian Yun agreed readily.
After seeing off the caravan, by dusk, the orcs' digging teams had dug half of the town's river channel.
Gary, the supervisor, stopped them and said, "Let's stop here for today. Go have a rest and eat. We'll continue tomorrow."
A group of dusty orcs jumped out of the river and looked at them blankly: "Rest?"
Isn't it just evening?
Lian Yun raised an eyebrow: "Don't want to rest?"
"Of course!" an orc blurted out, then stopped talking.
They just didn't expect that they were not actually exploited?
Lian Yun smiled, without further explanation, turned around and asked Lina if they had returned.
"I'm back. Lina took the guardian birds to the warehouse. She said she plans to let them guard the warehouse tomorrow."
!
Lian Yun secretly gave a thumbs up, and it was Lina who made full use of it.
Night fell quickly, and after the tavern served the last batch of diners, it fell silent.
The night in Bubu Town is very quiet. The night sky is dotted with stars. The lights in the houses are turned off one by one, and the residents gradually fall asleep.
Lian Yun was lying on the bed with the window open, and could hear the voices of Lina and a few birds next door.
The guardian bird makes small, light calls, like an expression of attachment to its mother.
Lian Yun could imagine that they were now curled up in Lina's arms, enjoying the long-lost warmth.
Until the slight cry subsided, Lian Yun slowly closed his eyes.
I don’t know how long I slept. Just as Lian Yun slowly woke up, there was a loud noise somewhere in the town, echoing through the sky.
"Bang!"
Lian Yun sat up suddenly and looked out the window.
It's the sound from the other side of the river!
