Chapter 104 Mist
Emerald Dragon 167 years, at a certain time, on an island.
"Put the stuff down! You slow-witted things!"
A huge ship stopped by the beach, huge ropes fixed the body of the ship, and the emerald dragons moved various things down from the wide wooden planks that extended from the ship to the ground.
"We're going to build an observatory here! Hurry up, or the night will come!" An emerald dragon standing beside the group of dragons who transported goods kept shouting, it was a character called 'overseer' .
Two emerald dragons whispered: "What is an observatory?" "I don't know."
"Over there!" the overseer suddenly shouted at them, "Don't stop and go!"
"Gah..." The Emerald Dragons at work couldn't complain and could only continue to work.
This group of emerald dragons took a lot of materials from the boat, most of which were wood and vines, and started to build them on the ground, and they built all the materials into simple wooden houses and other simple buildings.
Almost all the dragons on the ship came down and started to build on the ground, and the whole coast became very lively.
When they were established, a group of emerald dragons removed something special from the ship, which was a stone slab more than two meters high with a logo representing the emerald dragon painted on it.
That is Susumi's face.
The emerald dragon's emblem used to be Susumi's face, but it was slowly simplified into a simple symbol so that every emerald dragon could easily draw it.
But recently, the Emerald Dragon has begun to use the original scheme, Susumi's face, as a logo. And it requires sophisticated painters to be qualified to draw.
This seems to be to celebrate the return of the original king. But in fact, Jade Dragon has no idea.
The group of emerald dragons placed the slate in the center of the house complex. Seeing this, the overseer walked down and stood at the center of the group of emerald dragons, posing with them in different poses, then the overseer raised his head and shouted to the sky: "In the name of the king! occupation!"
Every time they go to an island, they will do this. This is also the way that the emerald dragon occupies the territory. Generally speaking, it is enough to put a stone slab with a marker, but in order to prevent the dragon and dragon from being able to put it. They deliberately made the arrangement very complicated. For example, the size and weight of the slate were strictly regulated.
Especially the portrait of Susumi above, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this, so it is difficult for ordinary dragons to do it, and those depicting tall dragons are owned by noble people.
However, the islands they occupy are of little practical significance, because they usually just place some buildings there, and leave after a few days and nights, leaving not even a dragon, but it will add an emerald dragon's territory to the map. .
Therefore, the Emerald Dragon's 'land' is now in an expanding stage.
If you encounter some resource-rich islands. For example, on this island, they will exhaust all the resources on the island. Don't leave until the ship can't be loaded.
Then the emerald dragons fixed the slate and left, and the overseer also returned to the boat, watching the handymen build small houses by the sea. At this time, the color of the sky slowly darkened.
"well done."
At this time, an emerald dragon appeared beside the overseer, and it said: "This way we can start exploring tomorrow, but there are still some towers that have not been established."
"Yes, we will speed it up," said the overseer, "Explorers."
Now, when emerald dragons face more 'noble' dragons, they usually call each other by their names. 'Explorer' is the name of the emerald dragon in front of the overseer, and its full name is 'Black Pepper. It has many connections with the powerful warrior 'Black Pepper' in historical legends.
It is said that the legendary warrior Black Pepper formed a family, and all the dragons in his family have similar names, but to avoid repetition, only the bravest one can be called Black Pepper.
But this concept has been forgotten. Now this 'black pepper' is not very fond of fighting, but is keen on exploring. Although it is a noble citizen, it does not like to stay in a daze in luxurious buildings. It used to be in the freezing period. It had a lot of fame during the expedition, and now it has set its sights on the ocean and formed a strong team.
It has sailed to the farthest point so far, and although it does not know how far it is, it has seen quite a lot of scenery, and it is very proud of it.
The handymen under the boat had built their simple structures, and when it was time to rest, they built bonfires and cooked fish for food.
Because the long-term work makes them particularly tired, they eat like dwarfs. They eat the fish before they are cooked, and quickly devour every piece of meat on it, not even the sharp bones. Pass.
On the other side, 'Black Pepper. Explorer' is also eating in his cabin room.
It eats the same sea fish as the handyman, but it is sprinkled with seasonings mixed with more than a dozen things, including animals and plants, most of which are precious items that only noble people can have, because of various flavors Mixed, can not even taste the taste of fish.
Even so, it has to put two balls of red and black things next to the fish. This thing is called "seasoning". Although the taste is complex, the black pepper is still eaten with relish.
It took a sharp and small stone needle and stabbed it on the fish, and then lightly dipped some on the 'seasoning' next to it, and then sent it in and finally chewed slowly...
This kind of slow-motion is unique to the noble people and is called "education", and the noble people use this distinction to distinguish themselves from the lower people.
Even if there are no dragons around, the black pepper is quite hungry, but it still obeys its own upbringing to show that it is different from the lowly commoners.
After eating, it picked up a piece of wool jade skin and wiped its mouth, and then used a stone needle to slowly poke a piece of meat again, sticking the seasoning and sending it to its mouth...
'boom! ’
The sudden loud noise outside caused the black pepper to bite off the stone needle in his hand, and accidentally swallowed the bitten part.
"Gah!" Black Pepper rolled to the ground while clutching his neck. He knew how tragic the death of the dragon stuck in his throat was, and the intense fear made it groan in pain.
After half a minute, Black Pepper suddenly found that his throat didn't feel sore or stuck.
It froze for a moment, then patted the dust on its body, stood up, and walked outside the cabin.
"Overwatch, what's the matter with the noise just now?" Black Pepper found the overseer sitting at the exit of the deck and asked, grabbing its shoulders.
The overseer did not respond.
"Did you hear that?" Black Pepper was a little angry, it yanked the overseer's shoulder, and the overseer's body suddenly fell to the ground weakly...
"Gah!" Black Pepper was startled, and saw that the supervisor's eyes were still open, but there was no breath of life.
"Dead?" Heijiao said in shock: "Come on Long! Something's wrong on the ship!"
The sound of black pepper echoed in the islands of the night, and the handymen should all be staying in the houses under the boat now, but there was no sound to respond to it.
Black Pepper walked to the edge of the deck to see what was going on below, but all he saw was a thick fog and flickering firelight.
I don't know when the fog enveloped the ship, covering Black Pepper's field of vision.
"What the hell is going on... are they all..."
Even with a strong sense of unease, Black Pepper walked down the plank from the deck and into the group of houses where these handymen lived.
The black pepper walked slowly, but this time not because it was educated, but because even the light of the torches could not penetrate this layer of fog, and it had to rely on extremely limited visibility to move slowly.
"This is..." After opening the door of a simple wooden house, it... didn't see anything.
"Where did they go?" Black Pepper watched several nearby houses in a row, but couldn't find any emerald dragon. Only the weapons scattered on the ground could tell it... They might have fought before.
Through the dim light of the fire, Black Pepper looked at the distant jungle, the trees that it had prepared to cut down, now swaying like terrifying monsters, seeming to laugh at its misery.
Various thoughts kept popping up, fear slowly eroded Black Pepper's thoughts, and it involuntarily retreated back into the cabin.
The cabin was also filled with fog, and the torches hanging inside were flickering with dim light. Black Pepper could not see the surrounding environment clearly, but it still relied on its memory and walked back by touching the wall...
"Gah!" Suddenly, a sharp pain came into Black Pepper's thoughts, as if a knife had been slashed in the back, but Black Pepper reacted, and it immediately pulled out the blade from its waist and turned around and stabbed it!
It felt like a stab in the air, nothing.
Fear spread again, Black Pepper dropped his sword, turned madly and ran to his room.
"Gah!" Just as it approached its room, the same pain as before came again, and the severe pain made Black Pepper fall to the ground...
"Gah...no...must..." It still grabbed the ground with its hands and crawled back into the room little by little.
Enduring the pain behind it, it propped up its body and climbed under the window. There were many things piled up here. It took out a piece of skin from the pile of things. This is the inner skin of Maoyu, which is quite thin.
It tore off a small piece of skin and wrote a few words on it with the tip of its claw, and then it reached up to the window and took a wooden cage from it.
There was a small creature in the cage, and the black pepper opened the cage and tied the leather with writing to its feet.
Then, it opened the window and released the creature, and the creature immediately flew out of the window.
"Gah...that's fine."
Watching the figure of the little creature disappear into the fog, the black pepper showed a satisfied mood, and it fell to the ground because of too much blood loss, and his thoughts fell into endless darkness... (To be continued..)
