Chapter 352: Carrying Things

Facts have proved that the machine beast is quite suitable for this kind of work.

Without rubber products, current tires are not suitable for running on soft ground at all, and metal tracks involve process problems. As a result, feet with a pair of wide pads have become the most versatile choice.

It takes two to three weeks of training for a Qi Sensing person to master the operating skills of the Heavenly Motion Instrument. At the same time, one of the main uses of the Xuanwu Type 1 is to reduce logistical pressure, carry heavy objects and follow the troops to maneuver quickly, and train properly in the wasteland. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

"So these dozen or so are your guests?" the high priest said, stroking his chest, "I am a refugee from World Island, High Priest Senia of Noah's Tree Boat. I am very happy to meet you."

No one could ignore the elf lady's upright appearance - even though she was wearing a winter coat instead of a ceremonial robe, her open neckline and high breasts still caused a commotion in the Penglai team.

"What is the position of high priest?"

"Sounds like at least a state pastor level official."

"Is her collar too low?"

"Where are you looking? Don't be rude. She is not from the Central Plains."

"Why did she say she was a refugee?"

Everyone whispered for a while.

Chi stood up and simply returned the greeting with his hands raised, "I am the master of Penglai Island, Chi."

"So small." Senia looked at the top of her head in surprise, "The horn on top of your head..."

"Yes, I am a dragon." Chi raised his head and said, "And I am more than a hundred years old since I was born——"

"What a cute little girl!" Before she could finish speaking, the high priest had already leaned down, hugged her lovingly, and touched the pair of horns on top of his head, "Is this what the dragons on the mainland originally looked like? ? Much better looking than those guys from the Empire!"

"Ahem...this Lord Priest——"

Kong Xuanzi wanted to speak out to stop him, but Chi stretched out his hand to stop him.

"It doesn't matter, she means no harm."

"Ah... I'm sorry," Senia said before standing up and clasping her hands together, "I just couldn't help seeing such a cute dragon demon. Please don't mind my rude behavior."

"Didn't the Dragonborn of the Holy Wing Islands look good when they were young?" Xia Fan asked curiously.

"When they are born, almost their whole bodies are covered with scales, including their faces." The high priest nodded without hesitation, "As they grow older, these scales will gradually recede, and finally concentrate on their backs and waists."

"You're talking about the flying lizard, right?" Chi snorted, "Isn't it normal for a reptile monster to have many flaws?"

"I feel the same way." Senia smiled.

Xia Fan secretly twitched the corner of his mouth, okay...the chain of discrimination between demons was born.

"Master Xia, these newly reclaimed fields are indeed sandy land. Why can we still grow wheat?" Just as Miss Long and the Elf High Priest reached an agreement, Kong Xuanzi took the opportunity to ask.

"This is all inseparable from the help of elves." Xia Fan smiled, "I can ask Ms. Senia to introduce you to the specific situation."

"No way, if Master Xia and Her Royal Highness were not willing to take them in, these spiritual tree seeds would be of no use at all." Senia replied humbly.

In this way, the visit to Penglai ended successfully with some business flattery from the two people.

And Chi's purpose was not revealed until the end, but he could not find a chance to express it.

…

Near sunset, the group returned to the residence arranged by the Secretariat, looking a little discouraged.

Even if no one mentions it, everyone is more or less aware of one thing - Jinxia City does not need dragons that much. They have solved many innate problems of farmland and salt industry through other methods, and their methods are beyond everyone else's. imagination.

If you can still see some shadows of the past in other towns in the past, in Jinxia City, it seems to be completely out of the scope of the Weichu era and the Yongguo period. You can't tell the difference in detail, but you can actually understand it. Feel the difference.

Chi is even more so.

She returned to her bedroom and lay down on the bed without saying a word, feeling an indescribable loneliness in her heart.

Dragons and humans have cooperated for hundreds of years and created a prosperous era together, but eventually fell apart due to betrayal. While she learned about this period of history, she also realized the unwillingness of her ancestors.

Although they are monsters, they are extraordinary people who can benefit the world. Chi still remembers the light in her grandmother's eyes when she told the story of appearing from the clouds and being cheered by tens of thousands of people. He also remembers the loneliness of her sitting alone in the ancestral hall and watching her back.

From then on, an idea took root in her mind - to bring dragons back into the world's sight, and to make Penglai once again a bridge between dragons and people.

For this reason, Chi thought of a way to avoid betrayal.

She will make certain sacrifices, but if she can get things back on track, she can accept these sacrifices calmly.

That is to become a partner with the person in power, so that their lives are connected and they live and die together.

Only when there is a matter of life and death interests can betrayal be fundamentally prevented from happening.

If you want the other party to agree, there must be great benefits, and Long's ability is undoubtedly the best bargaining chip. At first, Chi's goal was to be the king of the Six Kingdoms. However, after leaving Penglai, she found that demons had become an evil creature that the world could avoid. She could only settle for the next best thing and choose to take charge of a place or a city. However, the expansion of the Privy Council Palace was faster than she expected, and the local government offices had gradually become puppets. Therefore, the moment she found out about Jinxia City, she immediately changed her itinerary and went directly south to Shenzhou.

After a day of contact, it can be said that Jinxia City is more open than Chi imagined, and the attitude of those in power is far better than expected. Although Xia Fan is not the person with the highest status, judging from his performance, he is the most powerful official second only to Princess Guangping, and can be regarded as the most ideal candidate in the past five years.

It's a pity that Penglai failed because of its openness.

The help of elven tree species to agriculture is no less than that of the rain ceremony, and it is more flexible and convenient to use. Her proud ability has been hit in all aspects here.

And this blow is even more unacceptable than the many setbacks suffered in the past.

After all, once Jinxia City's model is promoted, it means that the glory of the past can never be reproduced, and Long's famous generals will be completely forgotten by the world along with Penglai.

Boom boom.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the house.

Chi Qiang sat up and said, "Come in."

It was Kong Xuanzi who walked in.

"Are you worried about me?" Seeing his expression, Chi instantly guessed what the other person was thinking.

"Yes." Kong Xuanzi said bluntly. He sat down by the bed, "Master Chi, I have something to say."

"If it's a word of comfort, then there's no need for it." Chi closed his eyes and said.

"I don't know if this is a comfort or not, but...do you still remember the purpose of your ancestors' cooperation with others in the first place?"

"...What do you want to say?"

"According to the records in the book, the first dragon with a name only reached an agreement with the city-state in order to find a safe place to live. As for the subsequent inheritance of responsibilities and the prosperity of Penglai Island, they are all additional to this purpose. Incidental things." Kong Xuanzi paused and said, "I'm thinking, if Jinxia City can already accommodate everyone, can you put down those burdens and just live here for yourself, even though Penglai will be destroyed? Forgotten, but our respect for Master Chi will not disappear because of this, it is just a new residence. "
