Chapter 200 The dazed silver moon immigrants(1/2)
Compared to the children who were experiencing the novel sensations of magic and flying for the first time, Herbert felt as bad as being squeezed into a sardine can.
This little broken ship can no longer be described as simply overloaded. Even the deck is full of people.
If it weren't for the two magicians floating overhead, I'm afraid there would have been a dispute long ago.
For example, if you step on someone else's foot due to bumps while sailing, this is not a bad thing.
Herbert saw with his own eyes a lady who couldn't help but retched and poured her filth directly on the head of an unlucky child.
The child was confused for a while at first. He touched his head and saw that it was a mixture of undigested rat meat, fish meat and mushrooms. His lips were deflated, and then he cried loudly.
The child's cry naturally attracted the mother's attention, and her instinct to protect the calf made the mother's face show anger.
But just as she was about to speak, a breeze blew by, and all the filth on the child and on the boat flew into the river, where it was happily swallowed by the excited fish.
The voice of Mr. Levi also came from above: "The conditions are a bit difficult. Please exercise restraint and be patient. We will dock soon."
Naturally, they dare not not listen to the magician's words, not to mention, to a certain extent, this person should be their city lord from now on.
The fate and future of all of them will be in the hands of each other.
Having been at the bottom of society for a long time, they understand a truth deeply.
That is to never take the initiative to offend a superior person, even if it just causes the other person's displeasure.
It is very likely that when you are about to face a hurdle and opportunity in the future that may change your life, others will be able to push you back into the quagmire of a life that is nothing but disgusting.
Not to mention a high-ranking person who knows magic.
Herbert once heard his comrades lament: "Perhaps people with good memories may not necessarily become magicians, but magicians must have very good memories. Don't ask me how I know."
'That must be a sad and embarrassing story,' thought Herbert.
Herbert took a deep breath of the air that had just become much fresher due to the [Cleaning Technique], and then protected his anxious wife and the child who looked at the dragon in the sky with envy with both hands.
Fortunately, the children at home are quite mature and sensible. Although they are yearning, at least they are not stupid.
When he first got on the boat, he heard a child crying to his parents:
"I also want to be carried by the dragon and fly together. I wish I was an orphan too."
As soon as he finished speaking, his parents started a mixed doubles match.
Even the two magicians above him were attracted by Tong Yanwuji's speech, but in the end they did not stop him.
"Should!"
Herbert smacked his lips and thought, if his Anthony dared to say such stupid things, he would have to break the little bastard's legs, and then give birth to a new one with his wife.
Maybe Anthony felt the coolness coming from the back of his neck and shuddered. As soon as he turned around, he saw his father's deep eyes. His buttocks tightened immediately and he quickly diverted Herbert's attention and asked:
"Father, do you think I will have the opportunity to learn magic from those two gentlemen in the future?"
Herbert immediately fell for the trick and said with a smile: "These big shots have so many important matters to deal with every day, how can they have the opportunity to teach you, a brat like you?"
Anthony asked this question, but when he heard his father answer like this, he was still inevitably a little disappointed:
"But why did that Excellency gather those orphans together alone and specially create a mansion to transport them?"
"The thoughts of the superior are not something we can guess."
Herbert was also aware of his gaffe, but had no intention of correcting it. In this cruel world, perhaps letting his children recognize the truth earlier would save them from being tortured by society in the future.
After thinking about it, he still smiled and touched little Anthony's head, comforting him: "Don't be discouraged. Your father and I still know some warrior skills. Now that you have mastered the basics over the years, I will come back later."
I’ll teach you them all. You study hard. After the new city is built, I’ll think of some ways to add some benefits. I’ll just work as a guard. It should be quite comfortable.”
This is the best way out in the eyes of Herbert and most ordinary parents.
Because it is often the result of their whole life of struggling through countless detours before finding a relatively less bumpy road.
It is also some of their few life experiences.
If the child chooses a path that is completely unfamiliar to them, they will not be able to help much anymore.
Hearing this, little Anthony also took a look at his burly body, which had grown from helping with farm work since he was a child, and sighed.
I thought to myself that with my body shape, I didn't look like a magician.
I don’t know how long it took, but in this crowded and noisy environment, Herbert, who was dangling with his hands around his wife and children, suddenly heard Lord Levi’s voice coming from above:
"Attention, the ship is about to anchor and dock. Everyone, please stand still. Our new territory is about to arrive."
Hearing these words, Herbert was shocked: 'Is it finally here?'
He instinctively looked towards the distant river bank, but there were so many people ahead that he couldn't see clearly.
As the anchor jingled, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell bell, bell bell, bell bell, bell bell, bell bell, fell, fell, and there was a dull sound, the ship finally came to the shore.
But at this moment, Herbert suddenly heard the confused whispers from the crowd in front, such as:
"What's going on? There's nothing here, and why is there ice everywhere?"
"Maybe it's not built here yet. In the schematic diagram we looked at, isn't the city close to the mountains?"
"But there's nothing over the mountains."
"It's over. We've been deceived. There's not even a port, let alone a town. How can we get ashore?"
When Herbert heard this, his heart couldn't help but sink. After pushing through the dense crowd and reaching the side of the ship, he was completely stunned.
As soon as I saw it, I realized that it was not someone else's exaggeration, but that it really was nothing!
It's a complete wasteland, no! Something's not right here.
The surrounding area is covered with crystal clear ice and snow. It's clear that even Silver Moon City further north has not yet snowed.
The place where their ship was docking at the moment was an impact zone formed by a huge crater, as if it had been hit by a meteorite falling from the sky.
But they didn't know that it was the strange scene when Li Wei first came to the Northland and was struck by the silver wings of an ancient silver dragon that he mistakenly thought was a cultist.
It happened to be used by Levi to build Deep Water Bay, the future port.
Herbert found it difficult to accept this fact for a while, wondering if his family had really been deceived.
At this moment, the silver dragon in the sky also flapped its wings, setting off a strong wind and slowly descending. It carefully placed the mansion full of children on the ground, and then it couldn't wait to fly towards the east.
go.
Before leaving, he seemed to have glanced at Mr. Levis, who was waving to him.
Seeing this scene, Herbert suddenly felt relieved again, 'That's right. Since the children were escorted here by the Guardian Dragon, it at least proves that Lord Levi is not a villain.'
This is very important. As long as that adult is really planning to build a city in this area, then it doesn't matter.
When he went to the northern farm to open up wasteland, wasn't there nothing?
But not everyone can be as open-minded as he is.
Many of them had previously run their own small farmers and ranches in the Northland.
And this gap between once having everything and then having hope and then losing hope is undoubtedly the most uncomfortable.
Although the vast majority of people dared not speak out in anger, some people who lost their minds eventually asked the Excellency:
"Lord Levi! You can't do this! Didn't you agree that the city is being built? But it doesn't matter now. You have failed to live up to our expectations and you have deceived us!"
Levi responded indifferently and calmly: "The first phase of the city's construction has indeed started at the foot of the Griffin Mountains. If you think I have deceived you, then you can leave, and Calvin will send you back the way you came.
.”
He didn't even say such childish words as 'if you leave, don't come back'.
Why bother with mediocre words? It's just too narrow-minded.
But the man still asked unwillingly: "Then can you provide us with free food and accommodation while we are refugees?"
Li Wei showed a faint smile, glanced at him, then looked around the crowd and said:
"His words reminded me. What I want to tell you here is that in our Zeelandia, everything has a price, and only when you pay, you will be rewarded.
"Before sunset today, you must set up your tents, and the territory will also provide you with 'free' food, but the premise is that you must work and contribute to the construction of the city."
The man suppressed his anger and said: "Then please send us back to Silver Moon City. At least in Silver Moon City, tents have been set up to keep out the cold. If before the first snow falls, the Supreme Mage will lead Silver Moon City.
The Knights of the Moon have wiped out the orcs, and we might be able to return to our farm!"
His words immediately resonated with many people.
Yes, maybe we can go back.
But Levi poured cold water on you: "Don't blame me for not warning you. Silvermoon City has little chance of the Northern Expedition this year. Even if the Northland Farm is recaptured, so what? You still expect the orcs to pity you and give you
Did you leave anything behind?"
This is the conclusion Li Wei came to after meeting Alustriel and the Silver Moon Dragon Mother and his wife.
They were more than capable of defending, but not aggressive enough. Otherwise, they would not have been able to defeat the Endless Wilderness for so long.
This may be a common problem among most immortal species.
They have plenty of time to play it safe.
But Levi has a human soul.
