Chapter 817 Goodbye Ashes

Lorgar slowed down as the first grove came into view.

It was the first time for her to set foot in the territory of the Northland——for this fertile land, she had heard many people mention it: there are green forests that never fade, and endless streams; When you enter the ground, you can feel its moistness and softness. There are only fish and crabs in the river, so there is no need to worry about the lurking sandworms swallowing the legs of the person who fetched the water. In short, it is just like the extreme south, full of greenery and vitality.

But she didn't feel anything like that.

Probably because the evil moon has not yet ended, there are only solitary branches above the tree trunks, and some withered and yellow weeds in the ground. In terms of greenery alone, it is not as good as the big oasis occupied by Iron Sand City. The only thing that made her feel the change was that the yellow sand all over the ground had gradually turned dark brown.

Lorgar looked around and found an uninhabited shelter from the wind. He shrank from a giant wolf to a normal appearance, then put on his clothes, smelled the residual smell in the air, and continued walking towards the caravan.

She has been coming like this these days. After sunset, she turns into a wolf shape and runs wantonly, as long as the direction is roughly north. Sandworms and armored scorpions are her food options, and sometimes even attract a group of desert wolves to follow. . During the day, you will travel along the Yinchuan commercial road, and you can replenish your water bag by the way when you meet a traveling merchant.

Of course, it was not without "accidents" during the journey.

As the third princess of Mad Flame, Lorgar has always been generous with her actions, and the golden dragon in the bag naturally attracted the attention of others. In addition, the ears pricked up high above her head are very sensitive, and she will always be aware of the malicious plans of businessmen in advance. At the beginning, she would make those vicious people pay a heavy price, and later she simply followed the caravan far away, using the smell to determine the location of the other party.

After half a day, Lorgar finally heard the sound of the waves.

This northern seaport town does not have a thick city wall, and it can be seen from a high slope. Tents stood along the river, while the side near the sea was buzzing with people. Many people were busy repairing the square buildings, which looked very lively. To her surprise, only a small part of the group were Sandmen, and most of the rest were from the Northland.

Walking into the boundary of Bishui Port, she quickly found the camp where the First Army was stationed.

After notifying the guards of her identity, Lorgar didn't wait long before seeing the black-haired woman who made her heart skip a beat.

ash.

Before she could decide what to say in the first sentence, the other party had already opened her mouth, "I knew you would come." Her tone was calm, and there was no sense of strangeness in her golden eyes, as if the two had just met yesterday. Just separately.

Lorgar's ears couldn't help shaking, "Why?"

"Because you are very similar to me before." Ashes slightly raised the corner of his mouth, "I have a goal in my heart that I want to pursue."

"Is it a fight?" Her eyes lit up.

"No...it's revenge," the extraordinary witch shook her head, then turned around and said, "Come with me, Echo will be very happy to see you."

revenge? Lorgar was stunned for a moment before realizing that the similarity she said meant that both of them had goals, but their goals were not the same. She followed the pace of the other party, "Revenge to whom?"

"Church of Hermes," Ashes shrugged, "at first it was just to vent hatred, but it became a habit after a long time. It wasn't until I met Her Highness Tilly that I realized that there are people in this world who are better than killing everything." They are more important things."

Your Highness Tilly... The wolf girl noticed that when the other party mentioned this name, there was a rare softness in her voice. Is this the person who changed the mountain? She knew that once a person like Ashes set a goal, it would be difficult for the outside world to influence him, and someone who could have such an influence on him must be an extraordinary person.

She secretly wrote down the name.

When passing by a flat building under construction, Lorgar asked Ashes another doubt in his heart, "I heard that since the Queen of Clear Water left this place, Clear Water Port has been burned to ruins, these people should not be local refugees Right? Why do they seem to outnumber the sand people who migrated here?"

"Of course not, they are all from Neverwinter."

"Neverwinter... You mean, the territory of Roland Wimbledon, the king of Graycastle?" Lorgar dared not answer, "He sent his own people to repair the residence of the Mojin?"

"There is no need to dispatch them. These people are voluntary, because the salary for construction here is five to ten silver wolves. According to the workers, the city hall was crowded with applicants as soon as the Ministry of Construction issued the news. "

Ministry of Construction? town Hall? The wolf girl shook her tail blankly, "Then... what about the sand people?"

She remembered that the first group of small clans who migrated added up to two to three thousand people. The chief would not have preferred to transfer people from thousands of miles away, rather than drive the sand people to work. If she really did this, she would have to doubt the other party's motives.

"Most people have gone to Endless Cape, where His Majesty wants to build a new city." Ashes replied quickly, "The Aosha clan is no exception—only the tribes that participated in this construction task can live in the new residence and get the same food supply as the residents of Neverwinter."

Build a city in that piece of wasteland with neither oasis nor human habitation? If she didn't know that a proud person like Ashes didn't bother to lie, she would never think it was true.

What is going on in the head of the King of Graycastle?

"Then... what about those who can't go?"

"If it's a physical reason, you can stay and help the construction team build the Clearwater Port, and the treatment is exactly the same. In other words, as long as you are willing to work, you don't have to worry about starving." Ashes sighed a bit when she said this, "Tilly His Highness once said that the ideal world in her heart is how much she gives and how much she gets. People do not win everything by taking and looting, but accumulate wealth with their hands. It sounds unbelievable, but I didn’t expect her to The reliable brother actually did this."

Lorgar automatically ignored the last sentence, "But... why did the Great Chief build a city on Endless Cape? There is nothing there..."

"There is black water," Ashes spread his hands, "Your Majesty wants to collect a large amount of them."

"Just, because of this reason?" The wolf girl was stunned, "He did so many things just for the black water? He is obviously like the queen of clear water, buying from Iron Sand City!"

She doesn't believe in goodwill for no reason. Most of the high-ranking people ask for nothing more than money and land, but this series of practices is completely contrary to the two-not only gave the land to the sand people, but also reclaimed it. Troops were stationed in the desert, no matter how you looked at it, it was a huge project that cost a lot of money. The cost alone could buy hundreds of barrels of black water.

If the other party's intentions were really like this, the behavior of the King of Graycastle would be a little too unbelievable, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried about her father's decision.

Originally thought that Ashes would open his mouth to refute or explain, but the other party just raised his eyebrows, "Yeah... the ghost knows what he is thinking."

"Eh?"

"There are not many people in Neverwinter who can understand his fallacies. Maybe Andrea can tell you a thing or two. After all, she is a nostril-breathing nobleman. It is unlikely that others will tell you. I got the answer," she said disapprovingly, "but who cares, I'm not here for him, as long as Lady Tilly thinks it's right to do so." She stopped walking, "We're here."
