Do you believe me when I say I’m not a dragon?

"It's swimming aimlessly. I've handed over the command of the surveillance spacecraft to you..." Sean paused, suddenly clenched the plate in his hand, and seemed to realize something: "It Has the route forward been calculated?”

"There is a high probability that it will pass through the Ice Vein Snow Field. With its huge size, even if it does nothing, it will cause a certain degree of damage to the Ice Vein Snow Field environment."

Having said that, the man in the suit showed a relaxed smile: "Next, all we need to do is do nothing."

"I see."

Hearing this, Sean nodded with a look of understanding.

——After the conversation, they quickly dispersed, communicating with others about work matters or chatting.

......

However, no one noticed that under the table, a small figure was hiding and shivering.

"...I smelled something more fragrant than the free bread and meat at the door, so I couldn't help but sneak in, but it was really amazing to hear such exciting content while eating." ....”

Chapter 234: Notes

"—Dear mother."

It was night, and the young man was sitting on the snow, wearing an animal hair coat, and his face was red from the cold.

Around him, many people are also working here.Of course, it was rest time now, so the young man could take out his notebook and start writing a diary.

"This is my first month in the Ice Vein Snowfield. Before I left home, the person who introduced me to this job would say how generous the pay would be. As long as I come here alone, you guys on the floating island will... There will be a lot of income. Although I decisively agreed at the beginning, I still can't help but regret it now."

"If the weather is clear, we have to get up at five o'clock every morning, endure the cold, wash our faces with ice water and have breakfast. Breakfast is a piece of bread and a bowl of broth (but I haven't seen any meat). We had to walk out of the village and run in front of a row of mammoths digging in the snow. We couldn't stop if they didn't stop, but this row of mammoths was clearly pulling heavy plows, but we didn't see them getting tired at all."

"What's even more terrifying is that there are three beasts where we work! One is as huge as a mountain, I dare not get close to it, and the other two are a little smaller, but their appearance is not very scary. They can spit fire, Spit on the road we dug, and then the wet ground dried up. The first time we saw this scene, I and almost everyone else were almost scared to death. You must know that these people in the snowfield are using beasts to assist their work!"

"At noon, the food is meat porridge. This time the portion is larger, and occasionally there is an extra piece of dried fish. In the evening, it is a bowl of vegetable soup and bread, and breakfast. I rarely see it in vegetable soup. There are vegetables - but fortunately, when you ladle the vegetable soup, you can choose to add a little spiciness to the soup, and your whole body will feel warm after drinking it."

"——If the weather is very bad and we really can't go out, we can only do other work. The one I most often arrange is chopping firewood. Although it is very tiring, it is said that there are even more tiring things, such as delivering them not far away. In the cave, I mine for those blacksmiths. In this way, I am quite lucky."

"Okay, let's get here today. I have work tonight, so I have to get started."

...Writing this, the young man sighed, stuffed the notes into his arms, stood up amidst the ringing of the bell, and continued working with others.

Watching their work, Hami stood upstairs and nodded, putting down the telescope in his hand.

In another month, the road connecting the scholar and the orc village will be smooth, and even if he runs straight with the trailer on his back, he will be able to move forward smoothly.

But even if such work is completed, their suffering will not end so easily.

Because there is still more work waiting for them to complete.

Thinking of this, Hami turned his head and looked in the distance.

There, the same people stood preparing to work, but their identities were somewhat different.

......

——At the foot of the volcano is where the forging people live.

In the past few years, there was nothing on the outside except the mines opened by the blacksmiths, but now, another bureau building appeared not far from the cave.

It was a huge, square box, with its tail connected to the foot of the volcano. Both the length and width were exaggerated, as if it could accommodate the entire spacecraft.

And it is.

This is a new building built by blacksmiths to imitate a shipyard.The big box shown outside is just the tip of the iceberg, and a large part of the interior space is connected to the volcano's cave.

The machines moved from the fallen floating island were also installed on it by professionals such as Root.

However, energy was a big problem, and this was solved by Gulu's eldest disciple: Forged Hair.It uses the flowing magma as an energy source, imitating the machines that require energy from the floating island to imitate new ones, and drives the operation of the entire shipyard.

As a result, the shipyard, which was countless times rougher than the one on Floating Island, was completed.

"...This is simply..." When he saw this shipyard for the first time, Root frowned and showed a strange expression.

"Meow."

On the side, Tuomao crossed his arms and made a low voice.

——Although it looks much simpler, it can indeed be used.

After hearing its words, Root could only hope that it was as reliable as it said.

"So is the construction going to start now? Or is there going to be an opening ceremony or something?"

"Meow."

——We don’t do these things.

Tie Mao paused and looked aside.

At this time Gulu also came over and looked at the interior of the shipyard.

"I remember that the wood required for shipbuilding is very demanding, right? Can trees from the forest be used?"

Guru asked Root.

"I've confirmed it, yes. Those woods are highly resistant to corrosion and are not easily burned by flames. They are a good material for making spaceships."

"Yeah." Hearing this, Gulu nodded, "Then let's check the safety for a few days, and then start work."

"Meow."

--Understood.

"What kind of spacecraft are you planning to build? Small ones can carry turrets and are more focused on combat, while large ones are generally used to transport cargo." Root asked.

"Meow." Hearing this, Duomao thought of something and called out to Gulu. The latter was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said to Root: "The gods have a request, and they want to fly in a large spaceship." It will be transformed on the basis of it and transformed into a spaceship that can accommodate a thousand people."

"Ah?" Root was stunned for a moment, and after pondering for a while, he replied: "...Theoretically it is possible, but in this case the take-off and movement speed of the spacecraft will become very slow, is that okay? ?”

"Meow." Tuomao nodded in affirmation.

——This is the effect we want.

...This is really a waste. Instead of expanding the number of people on the spacecraft, wouldn't it be better to just build a house on the ground...

Root murmured in his heart, but did not reveal anything strange on the surface.

——At the same time, in the east of the Ice Vein Snow Field, after passing through the forest, the land was once a vast basin. However, after the battle between Mercer and Red Phoenix, the entire land there sank downwards. Many, until the sand beneath the ground exposes them.

There, several bobcats wandered around, collecting sand from the ground.

They picked up some sand and put it on the paper to compare it with another type of land, and then showed a satisfied look.

One of the bobcats opened the notebook and reluctantly grabbed the pen and wrote on it:

"Suitable building, large-scale collection recommended."

Chapter 235: Opportunity

The wheels turned, carrying ten carts full of meat to the edge of the volcano.

People driving mammoths got out of the car and carried the food to the platform on the edge of the volcano, gradually forming a huge mountain.Not long after, a giant dragon wearing heavy armor slowly climbed out of the lava, came to the platform, and gulped down the food in it.

After the manpower developed to a certain level, Mercer simply ordered the group of flying dragons to throw the food to the orc village and let them cook it.

This is also Mercer's way of protecting himself from being dissatisfied because he pays too much attention to other people. As the chef of the gods, this status is enough to make some backward orcs feel ecstatic.

They will carefully cut off the less nutritious parts and replace them with the most precious parts of the meat from their own hunting.

After dedicating the best food to Mercer, Mercer also gave the remaining meat to them by default, treating it as a gift from the gods.

In that case, apart from being good at raising animals, do they have other merits?

Putting this idea behind him, Mercer swallowed the food roughly. Since his body has lost most of its perception of external stimuli, his sense of smell, taste, etc. can only be felt by the black mist, so eating was something he enjoyed very much in the past. The process has also become a coping style.

In addition to normal pieces of meat, food also has other objects inside: metal shavings ground into fine powder, toxins injected into the muscles of living creatures to semi-dissolve them before cooking, etc... In short, they are all. Things humans cannot eat.

However, these things were wrapped in pieces of meat and were swallowed into the abdomen without even chewing a few times. The stomach wall full of mucus would wrap the food to ensure that it was smoothly sent to the stomach bag and handed over to the highly corrosive gastric acid for digestion.

The corrosive gastric acid, which can even dissolve metal, can quickly digest the food, transport it to all parts of the body through the circulatory system, and repair the body tissues damaged by energy.

Soon, Mercer finished eating the mountain of meat in front of him, licked his lips, and then looked not far away.

There, Hami stood aside, waiting patiently.

"——What happened to the 2000 people?" he asked nonchalantly.

"Everything is fine. The people on the floating island are not disabled or disabled. We also have doctors on hand during work."

Hammy replied.

Hearing this, Mercer nodded: "That's pretty much it. Let them have a better impression of the Ice Vein Snowfield... But don't be merciful to those who are disobedient, and don't give them a chance to correct themselves."

"clear."

Seeing Hami agree, Mercer asked again: "So, do you have any idea who the spy is?"

"It has been found." To Mercer's surprise, Hami said these words.

"Oh?" After being a little surprised for a while, Mercer calmed down and said, "I thought it would take longer."

"After the [Great Cataclysm], there were fewer overt and covert fights among people. Although there were still many targeted situations for the benefit of each other, the conflicts between the two parties were not serious enough to require spies, so many Years have passed, and our... Floating Island has long since ceased to have the need for this, and the technology has only been passed down to the text in books." Hami analyzed it to Mercer, who understood.

In other words, the Floating Island is currently only good at intrigues, but if it really wants to take action, it will only have the experience of facing those beasts...

With this in mind, Mercer asked Hami to continue.

"Right now, I'm not exposing him. Instead, I'm letting him continue to lurk and let Bobcat monitor him secretly. According to the current information, there is more than one spy."

"Well done, please pay more attention." Mercer did not hesitate to praise Hami for his ability.

Hami nodded slightly and then said:

"In addition to this, the Bobcats also confirmed a large amount of scale soil in the basin. If used, the performance of our buildings can be greatly improved."

"What's going on with the spaceship I want?"

"It can be completed in half a year." Faced with Mercer's inquiry, Hami replied.

"Too slow." Hearing this, a trace of displeasure flashed in Mercer's eyes.

But even so, he knew that there was nothing he could do about it. Quantity, energy, talent and technology... there was a huge gap between him and the floating island.

Unless we can wait for an opportunity... an opportunity to tear both sides apart.

Mercer lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time before finally saying: "I understand, then let's do this."

"Ok."

Hami nodded, turned and left, leaving Mercer alone in deep thought.

"Opportunities wait for no one. You must be fully prepared before the right opportunity comes... You can't just stay there."

Mercer grunted, then spread his wings and flew away.

......

At the same time, on the floating island, a lynx was hunched over and looking around.

Looking at the tall buildings, those dark eyes were full of complex emotions such as nervousness, curiosity, and uneasiness.

Feeling the scrutinizing gazes of passers-by, the bobcat felt a little unbearable and ran quickly into the alley on all fours.

——After turning a few corners and climbing over several walls, this timid lynx quickly walked out of the alley and came to a relatively empty and uninhabited place.

This is the corner between various buildings, and is now regarded as a secret base by the Bobcats.

It raised its head and let out a melodious meow.

After a while, several bobcats came here one after another. What was different from this timid bobcat was that they all had different food in their mouths.

They spread the cartons on the ground, put food on them, and shared their experiences.

"I'm so sorry for bothering you every time, meow." The timid bobcat looked guilty as he ate the food.

On the side, the strong bobcat patted it on the shoulder and asked: "Still haven't found a job, meow?"

"No one wants to take me in, cat..."

"Then do you want to come to my place, Meow?" On the other side, a gentle bobcat shook its beard and asked: "A place that takes in abandoned human cubs seems to be called... Orphanage Meow?" I was taken in by the dean’s mother-in-law and am taking care of the cub, Meow.”

"No, meow, my hands are too clumsy to take care of them, meow..." The timid bobcat lowered his head and said cautiously.

"Then try to come to the Hunter Guild? I'll be a chef there, meow." The strong lynx on the side suggested, but before he finished speaking, he realized something: "Oops, you forgot that you are afraid of wild beasts, meow, they are all hunting wild beasts." He who uses his body as armor, meow.”

Listening to the discussion of his companions, the timid lynx struggled for a long time and said, "Actually, I want to go back, meow."
