Frost Wings

Chapter 139: coolie

Mind-detection spells have limited effect on a comatose person. However, Xiaoqiang, whose vitality is so strong that he still maintains part of his consciousness, still exists. Although he is confused and confused, Baihe still finds some information he wants.

He looked at the half-blooded young woman in the center who was starving, and thought silently.

"Hisrian, do you think we run the fort directly? Or do we control a puppet regime?"

"Host, this place is not suitable for large-scale settlement of humanoid creatures." Sislian looked at the group of captives placed on the ground: "However, if it is to trade this batch of cold iron ore, some people will probably take risks."

"...Well. Then raise them. These guys still have value."

After Bai He gave some instructions, these survivors were sent to warm rooms to be taken care of.

The researchers began to build the city wall with magic, and the wall was built quickly under the stack of frost and rock.

Inside the temporary mine, the members of the institute started mining themselves.

Despite the assistance of machines and undead, some of the more delicate work has to be done in person. These members collect some cold iron ore samples for analysis to provide data for material research in this world, so these poor creatures gradually return to normal thinking ability When I was there, I could often hear the clanging sound from the mine.

The manpower of these poor **** was not wasted in the slightest. Under the coercion of a group of undead overseers, more than a dozen strong men became mining coolies, and a few women were responsible for making food. Bailong lowered the two maids from the ground. After coming up, in addition to reciting and transcribing incantations every day, studying spells, occasionally monitoring the village with secret magic eyes, and sleeping with Sif in his arms at night, the life of this country rich man is quite comfortable.

Tylo Cobden opened her eyes from the nightmare, and she stood up with her head in pain. Due to her pedigree and pampering, this woman was born with a weak physique, and she was the last one of the lucky ones to wake up.

It was daytime when she woke up. The big glacier is not a suitable place for human beings to live. She was sick in bed and did not wear the thermal clothes that Baihe assigned to the miners. As soon as she walked out of the igloo, she felt extremely cold. When I wanted to shrink in, I was shocked by a scene:

There were no traces of frost giants in the empty village. On the contrary, some stiff undead creatures walked around in the almost silent village and town. Occasionally passing one or two living people, they saw Tylu walking out of the house, with expressions on their faces. Weird did not speak, but hurried into the huge building behind the mountain.

Tylu listened to the terrifying sound from the huge building, and her heart was full of fear. She had been in a semi-drowsy state for a period of time before she woke up. In this state, she knew that she had been taken care of, obviously. Someone rescued herself from the clutches of the frost giants, but the situation in front of her made her realize that things were different:

There's also something wrong with apparently saving their existence.

She looked at these rigid undead creatures, and fell into a deeper horror.

Curiosity drove her to involuntarily move to the wide gate of the building, and then saw her companion, with a stiff face and a group of undead, pounding the cold iron ore deposit, throwing the cold iron ore into the metal that made a huge roar. Inside the machine, some children in white coats stood around the machine, seemingly observing and recording something.

They saw the appearance of Tilu, and a dozen pairs of light gray pupils stared at her face at the same time. Tilu found that the characteristics of these children were exactly the same - the exact same white hair and light gray pupils, even the same gender. They're all the same height, of course, and what's more in sync is their expressions—serious and emotionless.

The dozen or so lines of sight made Tylu Cobden fall into a deeper fear. She dared not stay here any longer. She turned and ran to the square in the center of the village. From this position, she could see ice, snow and rock formations. The gate in the center of the completed city wall, she ran to the gate, a strange aroma attracted her attention, she saw something was being boiled in a pot there, Tilu walked over and looked around, a frost giant head followed. The boiling water tumbled and tumbled out.

Tylu sat down on the ground, her mind went blank for a moment.

A huge object seemed to move at the edge of her field of vision, and her dull gaze moved subconsciously, and she saw the indescribable stitched monster slowly walking towards her, shaking its pus-filled belly.

A scream of amazing volume erupted from Tylu's throat. Before the tentacled stitched monster approached, she fainted again.

...

Tylu opened her eyes.

The red-burning fireplace exuded a warm breath, she lifted the soft quilt on her body, and looked at the velvet-faced pillow with a sigh of relief.

Is everything an illusion?

She did not make such a reckless decision on the spur of the moment, nor did she still not escape the doom of death after desperate struggle, and she would not encounter those inexplicable horrors.

It was all a dream.

She took a few breaths and walked into the hall, where the lights were adorned, and Tilu suddenly remembered that her coming-of-age ceremony was so lively. All kinds of dignitaries appeared in the hall and sent their blessings to her.

Her mood couldn't help but jump up, that's right, that's right, that's what she-Tillow Cobden should live, the loose and soft bed, the beautifully decorated hall, the grand banquet, Not a dark basement or a cold ice cave.

She sat excitedly at one end of the table, looked at the empty cutlery, and called out to her maid: "Mary! Mary! Get the food ready!"

"Come on!" The sturdy middle-aged maid carried a large pot and began to add hot soup before the meal to the big bowl in front of each seat - a bowl of hot soup before the main meal, which is the daily eating habit of the northern people.

The table manners put the order of the master at the end. The maid fished in the soup pot, and a boiled frost giant head was fished out and placed in Tylu's big soup bowl.

Tilu sat up from the bed in horror. He retched and coughed against the ground.

"Miss, calm down." A broad palm stroked her back, Tilu woke up, grabbed the palm of the middle-aged woman, and looked at the igloo that was exactly the same as before she passed out. She trembled and cried. :

"Mary, Mary, oh~ God bless, I'm still alive, are you still alive?"

"Of course, we're all still alive, my lady, don't be afraid." Mary soothed Tylu: "Be quiet, miss, we're all fine."

"What the **** is this, what is this place? Mary, how can there be undead here?" The patrol of the undead passed by, and Tylu asked with white lips, recalling what happened during the day.

"It's a necromancer. The managers here are all necromancers. They killed all the frost giants here and rescued us." Mary whispered.

Tylu breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Mary's appearance and realized that their personal safety was still guaranteed to a certain extent. The necromancer took great pains to rescue them from the frost giant's hands, and she wouldn't turn around and put them away. They all killed; everyone else sleeping nearby is proof.

"Thank you, Mary, thank you for taking care of me." Tilu hugged Mary's strong waist and felt relieved: "Good Mary, what have you been through these days?"

"Don't be afraid, miss, it's not as bad as you think, they just let us dig and clean and starch, maybe Mr. Lytton and the others will be tired, but we are just doing some normal work like at home, I am sorry Miss."

"Mining? Sweeping and pulping? They treat Mr. Litton and the others as mine slaves? They are all good fighters." Tylu looked shocked.

"What's the solution?" Mary said helplessly: "According to the rules of the wasteland, it is a matter of course for them to save us and treat us as slaves."

"What are the old rules of the era?" Tylu frowned: "We can pay the ransom."

"Miss, do you believe this?" Mary asked with a wry smile.

Tilu's face turned pale, she shook her head, and suddenly became depressed again: "I'm sorry, Mary, it's me who brought you down to this point, it's all my fault."

She muttered to herself, looking very depressed.

"No, it's fate, my poor lady." Mary hugged Tilu and cried bitterly. Under her infection, Tilu, who had just stopped crying, also burst into tears.

The master and servant hugged each other and cried, and it took a long time to calm down the excitement. Tilu was frightened repeatedly and lay on the bed weakly. The moonlight shone on the ground outside the window. Did anyone escape?"

"Don't say it, miss." Mary's face showed a look of fear: "Dean wanted to jump over the wall in the middle of the night to escape, he seemed to have found a gap for those terrifying monsters to patrol, we all heard his screams, no one Knowing what happened to him after he climbed over the wall, miss, his body has never been seen again."

Tylu shuddered and her face became even paler.

"Also, don't provoke those children in white clothes. Don't think they are really children, Ashtar, to Vice-Captain Ashtar, he wants to hold them away~ and then there is no more, Miss, you can't imagine that scene in your dreams, the kid just snapped his fingers, Ashtar seemed to be no longer himself, he walked outside the city wall by himself, and then, like Dean." Mary's eyes were a little bit. said in a trance.

She was sobbing and whimpering, apparently having a huge backlog of terror.

"They are also necromancers?" Tylu's eyes widened.

"Who knows? No one has seen the leader here." Mary said more and more softly: "Miss, don't mention it, you still need to rest. If you have the strength tomorrow, just follow me. They usually don't embarrass women."

Tilu nodded, closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep. In the dream, the giant suture monster and the frost giant's head appeared alternately. She woke up early in the morning with dark circles under her eyes, and with fear and curiosity, she began to participate in this event. The day-to-day operations of the fort.

Washing, sewing, cooking, cleaning, these jobs are not complicated and demanding, men are not overly picky eaters, the undead and children do not need her to provide food, and those 'children' do not require hygiene How harsh - roughly clean is enough.

As the observation deepened, Tylu became more curious.

The upbringing of the daughter of a wealthy businessman made her realize that many things here are different. The thermal clothing on her body is a typical novelty item. She is completely unable to identify this specially treated fiber material. However, it is extremely warm, and it is completely unaware of the power of magic.

Tylo had some training in recognizing simple magic, so she developed a huge interest in the material.

How much can it be exchanged for trade?

She couldn't help comparing the fabric to the few magic fabrics she knew.

In addition, the machines used in the ~www.wuxiahere.com~ mining area also made her very curious, but she is a pure layman when it comes to magic and machinery, so she only stays at the level of curiosity.

At the same time, she was tired of this kind of coolie life, which was understandable for an eldest lady, she decided to end this kind of life, one day, she took advantage of a child to walk out of the mining area, boldly stopped up.

"Miss! Don't." Tylu's bold action almost frightened Mary, she exclaimed in a low voice, but she couldn't hold it at all.

Tylu Cobden took a deep breath, she looked at this little child who was afraid of all the coolies, and spoke:

"I am the leader of these people, let me see the master here!"

Rilanis, who came out of the mining field, looked at the woman who suddenly popped up with some displeasedness. According to Baihe's opinion, these people were temporarily positioned as coolies. This coolie suddenly appeared and interrupted his technical thinking. made him quite unhappy.

Tylu stared at Rilanis with a firm expression: "I want to see the master here, and I can bring him greater benefits."
