Chapter 381 Dungeon Meeting
Looking along the source of the sound, I saw a tall woman in a red robe, wearing a delicate half mask on her face, covering the left cheek, and her face can be seen only from the right Beautiful, and can not see any traces of the years.

According to the information obtained by Gu Feng, the city lord is probably 40 years old, but she didn't disclose this information either in terms of figure or appearance.

Her bright red robe is inlaid with a totem texture embroidered with gold thread. This special texture seems to be only available to the city lord.

As for the two elders behind her, one was wearing a black robe and the other was wearing a blue robe.

The elder in the black robe was even older, looking to be in his 50s, which was considered a long life in the dungeon.

Judging by his stature and body shape, the elder in the blue robe is relatively young and should be a middle-aged man. His face is hidden in the hood, and through the shadows, only his tall nose bridge can be seen, and nothing else can be seen clearly.

The three big figures took their seats one after another.

The female city lord looked around, and finally landed on Gu Feng's face, but she didn't stay too long, and quickly withdrew her gaze, looking at the key figures in the dungeon sitting on the table.

"The winter festival is coming."

The Winter Festival, as Zhang Zhiwei mentioned before, when Gu Feng returned to Lao Zhu's house, he specifically asked what the Winter Festival was.

Just like the beginning of winter in the traditional 24 solar terms of the Xia Kingdom, it represents the coming of winter, and this day is a very important day in the underground city, so it is named as the Winter Festival.

On this day, Xia Yucheng, who believes in the dragon god, will hold a large-scale sacrifice, taking out one-tenth of the grain in stock for the sacrifice, and all believers will participate to thank the dragon god for his blessing this year, and pray for no disasters in winter .

One tenth of this food will be distributed to the people free of charge after participating in the sacrifice, so that they can enjoy the gifts from the gods on the first day of winter.

Therefore, even people who do not believe in the Dragon God will participate in order to obtain this gift.

This day is also the time to show Xia Yu's dungeon strength, the more food he can produce, the stronger he proves.

The Winter Festival is not a separate festival for Xia Yu Dungeon, but it is also a festival held by many dungeons in this land.

Because many dungeons believe in Dragon God Cult.

"This year's food reserves are far inferior to last year's. I suggest taking out one-fifth of the food at the Winter Festival, otherwise it will look unrespectable."

The elder in black robe spoke first, he was obviously in charge of the grain inventory.

"How much?"

The city lord asked slowly.

"It's a third short."

The black-robed elder cast his gaze on Zhang Zhiwei, the leader of the hunting team, "Since you came to power, it seems that you have changed the tradition of our underground city, resulting in a complete shortage of food reserves. What do you want to say about this?"

The eyes of the city lord and others also fell on Zhang Zhiwei. Zhang Zhiwei seemed to have been prepared, and handed a list to the black-robed elder.
"This is the supplies recently brought back by the hunting team of the eighth district, and it should be able to make up for part of it."

The black-robed elder looked at the list, and frowned slightly, "That's not enough, I want to tell you that the most important task of your hunting group is to collect food for everyone, hunt wild animals, and find food, not to provoke The Dragon Clan, fight against the people favored by the Dragon God."

"We didn't anger the Dragon Clan, it's just that the Dragon Clan has always been our natural enemy. They have been looking for our gathering point. As long as they see our people, they can't wait to grab them. We have never provoked them, but they have always looked at us. We do it for food."

Zhang Zhiwei said word by word.

The old man in black frowned, "Profanity, you are blasphemy. In front of the Dragon God, the Dragon Clan and we are both citizens. The Dragon Clan will not attack us easily. We have the same belief."

"That's because you haven't experienced combat."

Zhang Zhiwei didn't want to say anything to this elder. This elder had a deep friendship with the Pope of the Dragon God Sect and had been brainwashed long ago. He stubbornly believed that under the protection of the Dragon God, humans and dragons could coexist peacefully. It just requires that human beings must live in the underground world forever, while the surface world belongs to the dragon clan.

Once human beings violate this law, they will be punished.

Therefore, the numerous deaths and injuries of the hunting team were also due to the anger of the Dragon God.

"Fight? If you believe in the Dragon God devoutly, you will not fail at all. You will be punished because of your lack of faith. If we follow the instructions of the Dragon God and do not go to the surface to explore, we will live in safety forever Underground world."

The old man in black robe said.

"Hehe, where does the food come from? Where does the beast meat come from?"

Zhang Zhiwei sneered.

"There are also many wild animals that can be hunted underground, such as pangolins, and many edible plants."

The black-robed elder didn't give up. He always felt that the population of the dungeon couldn't increase because the hunting group led by Zhang Zhiwei didn't have pious beliefs.

"Okay, I don't want to know the process, I only look at the results, hunting group, you haven't fulfilled your target for this year."

The female city lord spoke and interrupted the dispute between the two.

Gu Feng did not expect that the meeting would turn into a quarrel between the hunting group and an elder, but it could be seen that the elder did not appreciate Zhang Zhiwei very much. If his eyes could kill people, he would have killed Zhang Zhiwei countless times.

"I'm sorry, my lord."

Zhang Zhiwei lowered his head and apologized, "But I have made a major discovery."

"Is it related to the Winter Festival?"

the mayor asked.

Zhang Zhiwei shook his head.

"Let's talk about that later."

The city lord said lightly, full of the gesture of a superior.

Her eyes turned to the head of the city defense team.

The face is still handsome, but the head of the city defense team with a slightly rough skin immediately sat up straight and reported,
"Iron veins have been discovered in the Western Dungeon, but they are short of manpower. I hope we can help and cooperate. This winter festival, they will send people to negotiate."

"The Western Dungeon? That dungeon that was only established 30 years ago?"

Asked the head of the security team, who had an unremarkable appearance, a delicate mustache, and a slightly petite figure.

The head of the city defense team nodded, "That's them. Their population should be only 5000 people, and most of them are women, so they are not productive."

"Aren't they afraid to tell us about the iron veins, and we'll take them?"

The chief of security trimmed his mustache.

"They also believe in the Dragon God Sect and think that we are also the people of the Dragon God Sect and will not plunder their resources."

The head of the city defense team said.

"Okay, is there anything else?"

The mayor continued to ask.

"The people in the Corso dungeon are said to have encountered a major attack, which resulted in a reduction of one-tenth of the population. A policy has been issued. Everyone who is willing to enter the dungeon is welcome and will be given a month's worth of supplies. This has attracted most of the wilderness people, as well as people from our dungeon who want to defect to the Corso dungeon."

Gu Feng listened silently while thinking.

"The area of ​​the Corso Dungeon is larger than ours, and the population is already larger than ours. Although it has only been established for 60 years, it has been open to the outside world, and many dungeons have been merged. Now the total population has reached 10. , Their city defense team has reached 3 people."

The elder in Qingpao said.

The black-robed elder frowned, "That's a group of people without faith. They promote religious freedom in the city. In addition to the Dragon God Sect, there are also many mixed sects, such as the Sun Sect, Ocean Sect, Moon Sect, etc. , there is no cohesion at all.”

"But I have to admit that they have developed very well in recent years."

Zhang Zhiwei said.

The black-robed elder slashed Zhang Zhiwei's face again with the eye of a knife, "It fits well with a person like you who has no faith. If you want to go there, submit your resignation as soon as possible, otherwise I will feel that the city is not safe."

"My loyalty to Xia Yu Dungeon can be learned from the sun and the moon."

Zhang Zhiwei said without changing his face.

The elder in Qingpao spoke again, "In fact, religion is not the source. Food, resources, and safety are what people desire most. I believe that if the winter festival is done well, the people in our city should not be lost."

The female city lord nodded slightly and looked at the head of the security regiment.

The head of the security team coughed twice, "The new recruitment plan released by the hunting group last month attracted a group of wilderness people. We have temporarily canceled the decree that wilderness people can only stay for 7 days, especially in the week before the winter festival. Wilderness people are welcome, which is also a good way to attract people.

According to the latest statistics, our residents have reached 23541 people.

This is both good news and bad news.

The month after the Winter Festival will be a relatively smooth month.

One month later, the lack of food reserves in the city will cause problems such as rising prices. The lack of supplies will cause people to commit crimes. The crime rate is estimated to be 10%. Our security team will be ready at any time to punish the criminals according to law.

The possibility of famine is expected to be too high, after all, this year's food reserves are not enough.

If there are not enough new recruits, those who starve to death will only be the poor. Even if it is a loss, the loss will not be too great.

The schedule for the winter festival has also been prepared. We will arrange a shift system of 500 people to protect the festival site so that there will be no trouble. "

The head of the security regiment touched his bald head and reported the situation.

The female city lord listened to everyone's reports before opening her mouth to conclude.

"Okay, the winter festival will be held in seven days. I hope everyone will perform their duties. Next, let's talk about something else. Zhang Zhiwei, you go first."

"This time the Eighth Hunting Team encountered danger, and we accidentally discovered the fact that the dragons would set some traps on the ground, such as orchards, vegetable gardens and other material places, to attract us and wilderness people, and then hunt us. "

"You mean the dragons are consciously hunting us?"

The green-robed elder asked back.

Zhang Zhiwei nodded, "That's right, and they seem to enjoy it."

"Nonsense, how is this possible? You were punished because you violated the guidance of the dragon god and went to the surface. How could the dragons hunt us consciously?"

The elder in black robe cursed.

Zhang Zhiwei ignored his clamor and continued, "It's not like we haven't met people from Paradise in the wilderness before. According to them, the dragons have their own pastures, and the people raised in the pastures are all human beings. From this point of view, it is normal for them to hunt us with humans as food."

"Is there any evidence? People who have never seen Paradise are all hearsay. Maybe there are no people in Paradise in this world, and there are no pastures. Don't scare people here."

The elder in black robe retorted.

"There was no evidence before, but this distress is the biggest evidence."

"That's just your speculation, unless you bring back someone from the Dragon Clan and let him tell us the truth himself."

The elder in black robe said very stubbornly.

Others seemed to agree with the words of the black-robed elder, they wanted to see evidence.

Zhang Lei looked at Gu Feng, Gu Feng shook his head, he didn't plan to present any evidence for the time being, because the city owner himself was from Paradise.

Even if the dragon captive is handed over at this time, I am afraid that the few people present will not be able to hear the testimony.

"Zhang Zhiwei, you need to show evidence, otherwise everyone will not believe it. Do you have anything else to say?"

The female city lord looked at Zhang Zhiwei, the head of the hunting group, coldly.

Zhang Zhiwei nodded, "We also discovered something that is very beneficial to us. The dragon clan also has natural enemies. According to the description below, it is a steel monster suspended in mid-air, and it saved the members of the eighth group. It seems to be from the Mechanic God."

"The God of Mechanics? What is this?"

The head of the city defense team with a beautiful mustache and the head of the security team with a bald head both looked at Zhang Zhiwei.

The eyes of the two elders also showed surprise.

"The god that mechanics believe in."

When Zhang Zhiwei spoke, he looked at Gu Feng, "Here, I would like to introduce to you, Gu Feng, the new mechanic of our hunting team, he performed well in this mission and provided a large number of advanced weapons. I can say that no mechanic in any of your teams can do it, as a reward for this mission, he begged me to bring him to meet the Lord Santo."

Zhang Zhiwei introduced Gu Feng and explained his reason for coming.

The city lord and everyone turned their attention to Gu Feng, and found that this young and handsome man had a unique temperament.

A temperament that is not afraid of power.

The black-robed old man had a bad impression of Gu Feng, because Zhang Zhiwei made it clear that the Mechanic did not believe in the Dragon Sect, but the God of Mechanics.

Both the head of the security team and the head of the city defense team had bright eyes. He would never compliment someone so much. If this mechanic is really so good, it would be the best to hire his own team.

"You want to meet me?"

The female city lord asked.

"Yes, Lord City Master, I hope to get your approval to build a school in the city."

"School?"

The female city lord looked at Gu Feng suspiciously, "Isn't there an enlightenment school?"

"I want to open a mechanical school to train more excellent mechanics for the dungeon and increase our guarding force, so that even if we encounter other dungeons, we won't be swallowed up."

Gu Feng said calmly.

"Mechanical school."

Everyone repeated these four words.

At the same time, doubts arose in their hearts.

There are mechanics who are willing to take the initiative to publicize their knowledge. Doesn't Gu Feng know how much wealth this knowledge can bring to mechanics?
Did he really open the school, or did he have other purposes?
But no matter what his purpose is, the start of the mechanical school will definitely attract the attention of other nearby dungeon talents, and maybe attract more outstanding people to enter the dungeon.

For Xia Yu's dungeon, this is beneficial and harmless.

There is no need for the female city lord to object, and so do other superiors.

Except for the black-robed elder who only thought about religion, everyone else voted in favor of opening a school for mechanics.
