In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
The situation on the mainland had become more and more turbulent, but everything in Mordor City was still calm. During this period, Princess Anna of the Frost Kingdom sent a few letters to Søren, mentioning a few things. Princess Royal seemed to be in retreat recently. With the arrival of winter, the Frost Kingdom also had to deal with the coming cold climate. Winter was a difficult time for this era of material poverty, but the better thing was that because of the arrival of winter, many wars were forced to stop, and the spreading plague was almost cured.
The cold climate could make the plague disappear sooner.
Although it had not yet snowed, the first frost had already arrived. Mordor City was slightly better because it was located in the subtropics. There was only some frozen soil, but many other places had already begun to freeze. The frozen soil slowed down the construction process a lot, but people were still busy working because if they could not finish the housing, they would be exposed to the northwest wind this winter.
Five kilometers away from Mordor City was a town under construction. The construction site was in full swing, and thousands of people were busy in it.
Laying the foundation, building houses, and building walls.
First, they had to settle down, and then they began to reclaim the nearby land.
Half-elves had diligent and dexterous hands. As long as they were given a chance to work, they knew how to support themselves.
At this time.
Ryan, who had almost recovered from his injury, was patrolling the construction site. As the leader of these half-elven civilians, he naturally became their manager. If there was no accident, he would take over as the mayor of the first town. The people involved in the labor were divided into two factions. One was the half-elves of Autumnfall, and the other was the merchants from the south coast. Some farms were also built outside the town. The merchants paid more attention to profits, so some of the land had already begun to grow the first batch of winter wheat.
"Kurdi!"
Ryan walked around the construction site and suddenly frowned, "Where did Yeric and Dandy go?"
"Did the two of them go out to slack off again?"
Not all half-elves were very hardworking. Some of them liked to take risks and did not like boring work. Ryan was talking about the two guys who were idle.
Soon, a young half-elf ran over and whispered, "They said they were going to catch fish last night and ran out at dawn. I haven't seen them yet."
Catching fish?
Ryan frowned when he heard this. There were rich aquatic products near the city of Mordor, but these half-elves who had just moved here did not have fishing tools, so they should not go to the sea to catch fish, so the biggest possibility was the nearby river. Because it was close to the Amazon rainforest, there were many fish in the freshwater river near the city of Modor. Among them, the most tender and delicious was a kind of piranha, called Tiger Fang Fish (Tiger Mouth Fish). If there were many of these fish, they could eat a person until only the bones were left. They had extremely sharp teeth and liked to bite people's lower body very much. Therefore, it was very dangerous to go into the water naked. If one was not careful, they might only be able to use half of their body.
Naturally, Ryan had eaten this kind of fish before, because there were too many of these piranhas, and they tasted very good, so they were often caught as a side dish.
"These two lazy bastards! When I catch them, I'll whip them a few times! "
This was not the first time.
Not long after they came here, these two guys were lazy once. They rashly went to the river to catch fish, and they almost got bitten off by the fish. But because of this, both of them liked to roast piranhas. Usually, they would go after work, but today, they didn't even come to work, which really made Ryan a little angry.
Letting the people next to him help watch, Ryan directly picked up his weapon and whip and was ready to go to the river.
There were dangerous piranha flowers further away, and the two boys were not idiots. They would not run there, so they could only catch fish in the nearby river.
Ryan naturally knew how to track.
Judging the footprints on the ground and the plants that had been trampled, he quickly found the route that the two boys had taken.
However!
Suddenly, there was a shrill scream in the distance, and then the birds and beasts around were scared away.
"Something's wrong!"
Ryan noticed that something was wrong in an instant. He instantly pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and then his whole body sprinted at high speed, rushing in the direction of the scream.
The surrounding scenery quickly passed by.
As a high-grade profession, Ryan ran extremely fast at full speed. In a few minutes, he passed through the dense jungle and approached the place where the sound came from.
"Dende?!"
Ryan saw a half-elf boy covered in blood. At this moment, he didn't care about scolding him. He said anxiously, "What's the matter? What happened? Where's the other person? "
The half-elf boy named Dende was covered in blood. At this moment, when he saw Ryan, it was as if he saw his savior. He grabbed him and murmured, "Alec is dead!! He was eaten! "
Damn it!
Ryan was so angry that he wanted to slap the guy in front of him. He had already warned them that the nearby river was very dangerous and not to run to catch piranhas. Now, he finally learned his lesson, but a young life was ended because of this. Ryan thought that the other half-elf boy was eaten by a group of piranhas, but Dende's next words made him tense up.
"Demon!!!"
The half-elf boy named Dende said incoherently, "Eaten!! Demon! Eaten!! The demon ate Alec!! "
Demon?!!!
This time, Ryan's face finally changed.
He wasn't sure if the half-elf boy in front of him was scared out of his wits. Besides, he called the piranhas demons, or he really met a demon. There were many dangerous things around here, including piranha flowers and so on. Demon may refer to a real demon, or it may refer to something else. But this was the city of Mordor. Logically speaking, there should be no demons. But now, no matter what the reason was, as the supreme commander of this town, he had to investigate the situation.
"Follow me!"
Ryan picked up the boy in front of him and rushed forward.
Dende still seemed to be afraid, but he knew Ryan's strength, so he still followed him timidly.
The distance was not far.
Soon!
The vision ahead opened up, and Ryan, who saw the scene in front of him, couldn't help but take a deep breath. His expression became unexpectedly dignified.
Demon!
It's really a demon!
