Of course, Don didn't know that he had almost been caught by Elijah, and it didn't take long after returning to Slag Village for the large army to set off.

The dwarves of Slag Village were accustomed to this annual migration, everything was going on in an orderly manner, and Tang was surprised by the efficiency and discipline of the movement in such an almost primitive state of communication.

And Brian finally didn't have to be tortured by flying anymore, so he was in good spirits on the road, and kept chatting with other people, and at Donn's behest, he described Ellington very well, and that boasting made Donn blush a little.

However, the effect was also very good, and by the time they gathered in another dwarven village on the first day, twenty more dwarves had already made up their minds to go to Ellington, much to Donne's delight.

The next few days were very smooth, and there were already thousands of dwarves gathered, and such a large team did not even dare to harass the demonic beasts, and the speed of progress was faster than at the beginning.

"We're pretty close to Forge."

On this day, Brian pointed to the main peak of the Ambris Mountains towering in front of him, and boasted to Donne: "Fort Hammer is built on the mountainside of Ambris Peak, not for me, big brother, your human city is weak, only Fort Hammer can be regarded as a truly impenetrable castle." ”

"Then I'll see."

"You'll see it soon, it's not that far, actually, but it will take a day to cross the Black Swamp tomorrow, and you will be there in two days."

"Oh......"

Don suddenly came back to his senses: "Black swamp? What is that? ”

Don was a little puzzled, whether it was the Pale Forest. Or a black swamp. He hadn't even heard of these names in the game. It was at this time that he really felt that this world was not that game after all, and there were many different places.

"It's a black swamp."

Brian shrugged: "There are many monsters that don't even dare to come near it, and it's considered a place of death that devours life, but don't worry, we've figured out a safe path over the years, so it's going to be okay - besides." Big brother, you're a mage, you can fly over, don't worry. ”

So Don didn't pay attention to it, but when he came to the black swamp the next day, Tang finally understood what the so-called black swamp meant.

"This is what you call the Black Swamp?"

Don swallowed his saliva and stared dumbfounded at the endless asphalt lake in front of him.

"That's right, big brother, you can pay attention, this swamp is very evil, and if you fall into it, you won't be able to get out. Even a lot of monsters have died here, look at those bones. You'd better fly. ”

Brian pouted at Nunu next to him, where he could clearly see a lot of huge blackened bones: "Also, you have to cover your mouth and nose with a damp cloth when you pass through here, otherwise it will be easy to pass out." ”

Don was trembling with excitement, he didn't listen to a word of what Brian said, there was only one thing on his mind now: this trip made a lot of money!

Asphalt is one of the very important raw materials for the modern industrial system on the earth, it is a hydrophobic material, it is impermeable, almost insoluble in water and various organic solvents, mainly used in coatings, plastics, rubber and other industries and paving roads.

Don doesn't know how to extract plastic and artificial rubber from asphalt, but this thing can pave the way!

Don had had enough of the bumpy road, and if he had paved it with asphalt, he would have been much more comfortable even if the carriage had no rubber tires and no shock absorption system.

What's more, building flatter roads means more efficient transportation systems, faster product circulation, and faster money!

In the eyes of the locals of Plandal, it is a murderous black swamp, but in Donn's eyes, it is a huge black gold mine!

Don immediately anchored a spatial coordinate here, and then refollowed the large force.

As Brian said, over the millennia, the dwarves have come up with a very safe path, which is made up of solidified asphalt, and although the smell is still dangerous, it will not hurt much after covering the mouth and nose with a wet cloth.

All the dwarves walked on the safe road in a very orderly manner, and Don felt the solidified natural asphalt under his feet while walking, and the feeling of stepping on it was very familiar, there was a feeling of asphalt road on the earth, and if it was mixed with some solids, it was estimated that it would be stronger.

So Don was even more determined to develop this place.

"Brian, this black swamp is within the borders of your dwarven kingdom, right?"

"yes, what's wrong?"

Don squinted his eyes and said, "I'm interested in this black swamp. ”

"You're not sick, are you, big brother? What can this thing do? ”

Brian was very surprised: "We tried, this thing can't be used for forging, can't be used to build a house, can't be eaten, what use can it be?" ”

"Of course you can't forge ...... Wait a minute!? Can't eat it? What did you do in the first place? ”

Don was dumbfounded.

Brian shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know what idiot wants to see if this thing can be eaten, he said that although many things look scary, they actually taste delicious, and as you can imagine, his tongue almost broke." ”

Prandal still has such a foodie!?

"If, I mean, I propose to the Dwarven King that I want this black swamp, what price do you think I will have to pay?"

Don looked at Brian's expression, if his previous guess was correct, Brian should be able to help him a lot in the Dwarven Kingdom.

"You want it here?"

Brian scratched his head: "This black swamp doesn't matter...... If you give him some good wine, I guess he will agree to give it to you directly. ”

"Good wine?"

Tang En was stunned for a moment, and was overjoyed in his heart, if good wine can be exchanged for the development right of this asphalt lake, it will be a lot of money!

"yes, that guy must be ...... Oh, I mean the Dwarven King, he'll say yes nine times out of ten, you can give it a try, this swamp is useless anyway. ”

Brian laughed.

As they had slowed down on the asphalt lake, it was only in the evening that they had crossed it, and Donn flew into the sky to observe the size of the asphalt lake.

The result is very amazing, the shape of this asphalt lake is roughly pear-shaped, with a diameter of at least 40 kilometers, the widest place can reach more than 20 kilometers, and the narrowest place is nearly 10 kilometers, with a total area of nearly 1,000 square kilometers!

What is the concept of 1,000 square kilometers?

For example, the well-known megacity of New York has a total area of only nearly 800 square kilometers!

And the area of this natural asphalt lake has surpassed the area of New York City!

Don also tried to use magic to probe the depth, because the magic conductivity of asphalt is very poor, so Don only probed a hundred meters deep and gave up, even so, this is a huge super asphalt mine in 100 million tons.

If all the asphalt is mined here, the paved roads will be able to connect all the cities of Plandal!

Take it down, you must take down this asphalt lake!

At the very least, take the right to mine the asphalt lake!

Don clenched his fists, although there are many materials that can be used to pave roads in addition to asphalt, if the production of large quantities of cement takes up too much of Donn's development time, if the asphalt here can be mined for paving, then only human resources will be consumed, and Ellington's productivity can be concentrated elsewhere.

And the benefits of paving roads are not only convenient for business, according to his plan, he plans to make a magic power car in the later stage, when the war breaks out, soldiers can use magic power car transportation, with asphalt roads, the efficiency will inevitably be improved a lot, this powerful mobility and strategic significance can not be ignored.

Fortunately, the aborigines here have not yet realized the purpose of asphalt, and maybe he can pick up the leak this time.

Not long after crossing the asphalt lake, the dwarves began to set up camp, and there were dwarven villages nearby, but at the current scale, there was no way to live in the small villages, so they had to camp around the villages.

As the date of the Wine Festival approaches, the Dwarven Kingdom, especially the villages near Fort Hammer, is already full of joy, and the compatriots attracted by the annual festival are also very enthusiastic, and the wine and food are all offered.

At this time, Don discovered that in addition to the currency commonly used in the human realm, there were also those metal ingots, and this kind of forge-minded race had become accustomed to trading goods with others with the metal ingots they had smelted.

After resting in this dwarven village for the night, they also joined the team the next day, and the team of Ten Thousand Hammer Fort was even larger, and Don looked at the huge team of thousands of dwarves, and he couldn't imagine how lively Fort Hammer would be at that time.

Can that place accommodate so many people for an event?

Tang En thought for a moment, if the capital of China held an event, the whole country could come and participate, eat, drink and have fun for free, and then ......

Tang En shuddered, the picture was too beautiful for him to imagine.

In the evening of the next day, the huge team finally arrived at Fort Hammer after a long day of mountain roads!

Standing outside Fort Hammersmith, Brian smiled proudly: "Big brother, how is it?" Were you shocked? ”

Tang En opened his mouth wide and his eyes widened, here, is the Dwarven Clan's main city, Hammer Forge?

This is the hammer fort in the game?

You're kidding me!?

Sure enough, fairy tales are all lies! (To be continued.) )
