When the first grove came into view, Loga slowed down. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was the first time she had set foot in the territory of the North, a land of bounty that she had heard many people say: there was a green forest that never faded, a constant stream of water, and a green grass that could spread over the plain, and you could feel its wetness and softness when you put your hand into the ground. There are only fish and crabs in the river, and there is no need to worry about lurking sandworms swallowing the legs of the water collector, in short, just like the former extreme south, full of greenery and life.

But she didn't feel the same way.

Probably because the evil moon had not yet ended, there were only lonely branches left above the trunks, and the ground was full of withered yellow weeds, which was not as green as the great oasis occupied by Iron Sand City. The only thing that made her feel the change was that the yellow sand on the ground had gradually turned black and brown.

Luo Jia looked around, found a shelter from the wind, shrunk from the giant wolf to a normal form, then put on his clothes, smelled the residual smell in the air, and continued in the direction of the caravan.

She's been doing this these days, turning into a wolf after sunset and running around in a roughly northerly direction, with sandworms and ironclad scorpions as her food options, and sometimes even a pack of desert wolves to follow. During the day, they traveled along the Yinchuan trade road, and when they met a foot merchant, they could also replenish their water bags by the way.

Of course, the journey is not without "accidents".

As the third princess of the Flames, Luo Jia has always been very generous, and the bag of golden dragons in her bag naturally attracted the attention of others. In addition, the ears raised high above her head are very sensitive, and the merchants' ill-intentioned plans will always be known to her in advance. At first, she would make the vicious people pay a terrible price, and then she would simply follow the caravan far behind, using the scent to determine the location of the other party.

Half a day later, Loga finally heard the sound of the waves.

This northern harbor town has no thick walls, and it can be seen from a high slope. Tents stand along the river, and the end near the sea is bustling with people, many people are busy repairing the boxy bungalows, which look so lively. To her surprise, only a small percentage of the group were sandmen, and most of the rest were northerners.

Walking into the boundary of Bishui Harbor, she quickly found the camp where the First Army was stationed.

After revealing her identity to the guards, it didn't take long for Loga to see the dark-haired woman who made her heart beat.

Ashes.

Before he could think about what to say in the first sentence, the other party had already opened his mouth first, "I knew you would come." Her tone was calm, and there was no strangeness in her golden eyes, as if the two had just separated yesterday.

Luo Jia's ears couldn't help but tremble, "Why?"

"Because you're like me before," Ash raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "and there's a goal in mind that he wants to pursue." ”

"Is it a fight?" her eyes lit up.

"No...... It's revenge," the Transcendental Witch shook her head, turning and saying, "Come with me, Echo will be glad to see you." ”

Revenge?Luo Jia was stunned for a moment before realizing that the similarity she said only meant that the two of them had goals, but their goals were not the same. She kept up with the other party, "Revenge on whom?"

"The Hermes church," Ash shrugged, "at first it was just to vent hatred, but over time it became a habit. It wasn't until I met Tilly that I realized that there was something more important in the world than killing them all. ”

Her Highness Tilly...... The wolf girl noticed that when the other party mentioned the name, there was a rare softness in her voice. She knew that a person like Ash would be swayed by the outside world once he had set a goal, and that the one who could have such an impact on him must also be an extraordinary person.

She secretly wrote down the name.

Passing by a bungalow under construction, Luo Jia asked Ash another question in his mind, "I heard that since the Queen of Bishui left this place, Bishui Harbor has been burned to the ground, these people should not be the local homeless people, why do they seem to be more than the sand people who have migrated here?"

"Of course not, they're all from Neverwinter. ”

"Neverwinter...... You mean, the domain of Roland Wimbleton, King of the Greykeep?" said Loga in disbelief, "He sent his own men to repair the Mogin's residence?"

"There is no need to dispatch, these people are voluntary, because the salary for coming here for construction is five to ten silver wolves more, and I heard from the workers that as soon as the Ministry of Construction issued the news, the people who signed up filled the city hall. ”

The Ministry of Construction, City Hall, and the wolf girl wagged her tail blankly, "That...... What about the sandmen?"

She remembered that the first few small clans to migrate had a total of two or three thousand people, and the big chief would not rather go all the way to transfer people than drive the sand people to work. If she really did this, she would have to doubt the other party's motives.

"Most of them have gone to the Endless Cape, where His Majesty is going to build a new city. Ash replied quickly, "The Orasa clan is no exception - only those who participated in this construction mission will be able to live in their new homes and receive the same food supply as the people of Neverwinter. ”

To build a city in that wasteland where there was neither an oasis nor an inhabited man? If she hadn't known that a proud man like Ash didn't bother to lie, she wouldn't have thought it was true.

What's going on in the head of the King of Greykeep?

"That'...... What about those who can't go?"

"If it's a physical reason, you can stay and help the construction team build the clear water port, and the treatment is exactly the same. In other words, as long as you are willing to work, you don't have to worry about going hungry. "Her Highness Tilly once said that the ideal world in her heart is to give as much as you get, and people do not win everything by force, but accumulate wealth with their hands. It sounds incredible, but I didn't expect her unreliable brother to do it. ”

Luo Jia automatically ignored the last sentence, "Can ...... Why did the Great Chief build a city on the Endless Cape? There's nothing there......"

"There's black water," Ash said, "Your Majesty wants to collect them in abundance." ”

"That's, that's why?" the wolf girl froze in place, "He did so many things, just for the sake of the black water?

She didn't believe in good intentions for no reason, and most of the people in power asked for nothing more than money and land, but this series of practices was completely contrary to both - not only did she give the land to the sandmen, but then she reclaimed the desert and sent troops to garrison it, no matter how you look at it, it was a big project that cost money, and this cost alone could buy hundreds of barrels of black water.

If this was the case, the Grey Keep's style was a little too unbelievable, and she couldn't help but worry a little about her father's decision.

I thought that Ash would open his mouth to refute or explain, but the other party just raised an eyebrow, "yes...... Hell knows what he's thinking. ”

"Huh?"

"There are not many people in the whole of Neverwinter who can understand his heresy, and Andrea may be able to say a thing or two, after all, he is a nostril-breathing nobleman, and the others are probably unlikely to tell you the answer," she said disapprovingly, "but who cares, I'm not here for him, as long as Master Tilly thinks it's the right thing to do." She stopped, "We're here." ”
