Six years later.
In addition to the large new wooden houses built in the canyon, there are also many stone buildings, which means that after the profession of carpenter, the profession of stonemason has also been added to the tribe.
The originally sparse buildings have become densely packed together, and the styles of the buildings have become more complex. Houses no longer only require convenient living, but also require comfortable living and beautiful living.
The functions of buildings have also become more complex. In addition to residence, they also have various functions such as reception, discussion, storage, barracks, sentry, etc.
And outside the canyon.
First of all, you can see a small wooden building, which is prepared for the caravans and guests from other tribes. Since the Jin tribe and Helfas formed the caravan, people from other tribes have joined the two caravans. I took the mature and safe route and started doing business.
The exchanges between tribes have become more and more frequent, and the tribe established by Helfas has become more and more famous.
Going a little further, you can see a lake and dense farmland of breadfruit trees. The farmland is endless and is crisscrossed with ditches and ravines.
In addition to this farmland, there is also a new farmland on the side.
Yes, the tribe of Helfas has an extra piece of farmland.
Weird Bread Tree was the first one in Helfas to know how to reproduce it, or to copy the weird one. Two years ago, when the first farmland of bread bread was cultivated to the limit, Helfas Human control allowed it to break free of the seal, and then interrupted it again when it transformed into a human-faced tree.
Looking further, you can see several checkpoints set up at the entrance of the jungle, and you can also see a solid sentry tower made of stone.
People come and go.
Earth dragon beasts and caravans carrying goods arrive from time to time.
It has to be said that the place Helfas built looks like a city.
It’s just that what made this city appear was not just the power of Helfas alone, but the expectations of everyone in the land of the full moon for countless years, and the desire of people who came one after another.
This expectation and desire attracts more and more Full Moon people to cross the dangers and jungles. The thousand-year-old tribes in the Full Moon Land are promoting the development and advancement here.
At this moment, Helfas was inspecting the newly established blacksmith workshop.
He looks different from before. He looks a lot more mature. At least he has the aura of a leader in his movements. The clothes on his body are still the same style as before. They have not changed much, but they are more mature. Fitted, the pattern on it looks more complicated, and the fabric is dyed black.
The styles of pants, belts, and shoes are also more refined and rigorous, which also means that the tribe's craftsmanship in this area is developing rapidly.
He walked in front, followed by a large group of people.
Call in front and support behind.
The person in charge of the workshop followed Helfas cautiously: "Mr. Helfas, because the iron produced in the main workshop is limited every day, we want to make more iron tools. There’s no way to start!”
The blacksmith on the side spoke quickly after hearing this: "I have arranged for more people to go mining, and I have also made new mining tools. Lord Helfas, I promise that in the future..."
Helfas nodded without making any judgment, and just said: "Don't rush to make arrangements. I'll go to the mine to have a look tomorrow."
The production of black iron is increasing day by day, and the various iron tools crafted by blacksmiths have become hot commodities in the Land of the Full Moon.
These iron tools are sold to caravans, to the Weaver Tribe, to the Farmer Tribe, and other places, and eventually spread to various places in the Land of the Full Moon.
It has become the best-selling item for the tribal caravan established by Helfas, and it is also their most obvious symbol.
At the same time, the tribe of Helfas also has a name in the mouths of outsiders. It is called the Black Iron Tribe. It seems that black is the symbol here.
After looking at the blacksmith workshop, Helfas ran to the house that received the caravan and took a look.
He looked at the old house and then at the new one.
Then he said to the recording officer on the side.
"There will be many people coming during the city founding ceremony, and they all come from various ancient tribes. We must not neglect it and repair some of the old houses."
"Also, there may be more people coming than expected, so we need to prepare and vacate part of the house."
The recorder immediately took out a pen, wrote down everything Helfas said, and issued it to the carpenter, craftsman, and other people responsible for this.
Seven years have passed since he decided to make use of this place and welcome the first people who came to this place.
Herfas is preparing to announce this month that it will build the world's first city.
The time for the ceremony has been decided, and it will be on the first day after the full moon.
There was no calendar in this era. Although each tribe had some methods of recording dates, most of them recorded the number of days that had passed between the new moon and the full moon.
The recording officer stopped writing: "Okay, I have written it down completely."
Helfas looked at what the record officer had written down. It was his abstract recording symbol.
Five or six years ago, Herfas felt that when there were too many people, he had to have someone to help him deal with various things. At least he had to be able to record what he said and pass it on. To do this, this person must Understand words.
He found some smart teenagers from the tribe and taught them to record and write their own recording symbols. The young man in front of him in his twenties finally stood out and became the record officer of Helfas. .
The remaining people were not wasted, and Helfas arranged them to various places where they were needed.
Next, Helfas remembered something again and turned to look at the Demon Hunter captain who was following him.
He asked again.
"What about the conditions on the road?"
"Is it safe?"
The captain of the witcher immediately stood up and said very seriously.
"Lord Helfas, I can't completely guarantee this. After all, there are still some scary weird things passing by from time to time."
"But I promise that during this period, we will send people to patrol every day, and we will always pay attention to any situation."
Although most of the entire Full Moon Forest is still a place that mortals cannot and have never set foot on, the originally extremely dangerous route from the Zhi tribe to here has been gradually opened up.
At least, it's not particularly dangerous anymore.
When planning this route, they marked out some areas where extremely scary weird things were entrenched, and then chose to make a detour.
As for some low-level weirdos, a few of them were sealed, and most of them were expelled to other places in the Full Moon Forest, or fled to other places during the battle. Helfas and Demon Hunter There is no guarantee that people can successfully trap and seal monsters every time. Even the weakest monsters have their own dangers and unknowns. They may seem harmless but can kill you as long as you don't pay attention.
However, this multi-year cleanup operation also means that as long as there are no strange things passing by on this passage, safety is still guaranteed.
After seven years, they finally achieved certain results in fighting against the weirdness.
Although this result is really just a way.
Helfas told the Demon Hunter Captain very seriously: "Everyone, please work hard during this period. This day is a very important day for us."
He looked at the other officials: "You are all the same. During this period, I ask you all to cheer up and do everything well. If you do well, you will be rewarded. If you don't do well, I will Ask someone who can do a good job to do it for him."
Everyone saluted Helfas: "Yes!"
The city founding ceremony is not just a ceremony. This seemingly symbolic celebration is actually of great significance.
Once successful, the entire Full Moon Land will know that Helfas built the first city in the world.
And all the power, all the hearts and all the desires of the entire Full Moon Land.
They will also gather here.
----------------------
The new meeting hall that will be used to hold the city's founding ceremony has just been completed and is located on the site of the wooden house where Helfas originally lived.
This is a building built entirely of stone. The heavy stones are overlapped one by one to form several steps. A dozen pillars form a corridor outside, and the two largest pillars are erected at the gate. On both sides of the front, a gatehouse and aisles were formed, and the shapes of strange biphasic demonic insects and black marshes could be seen on the pillars.
The patterns on these pillars were carved by craftsmen, but the power of the sealed objects was used to dig out the stones and transport them outside the canyon.
But even at the last distance, it is not easy to build it here.
Herfas can imagine.
When those guests arrive, they will be shocked and surprised to see this meeting hall.
And this is exactly the effect he wants.
Helfas is not here on weekdays, and he does not even come here even for meetings but at his residence. He only appears here when holding some formal activities that need to be open to the outside world and everyone must participate.
But today he came to the meeting hall and walked around.
I seem to be imagining the grand scene of the city's founding ceremony in my mind.
There was a long table across the hall, and on the wall behind it were paintings of breadbasket fields and farmers working. He sat on a chair and looked outside, feeling a little proud.
My heart, which was always tense, seemed to become a little more at ease.
He took out a bottle and placed it on the table.
"Wine, take a sip!"
He drank a little wine and just looked outside, letting his drunkenness and sleepiness consume him little by little.
Just watch the sun disappear at the end of the street, watch the stars come from the sky.
He fell asleep leaning on his chair.
But not long after, he saw beads of sweat forming on his forehead, and then he opened his eyes in panic.
Helfas stood up and put his hands on the table, but looked around warily, as if he was guarding against something.
Just like he once wandered alone in the deserted jungle.
He gasped and stood up little by little.
He asked someone to prepare water and wiped his face and body.
When wiping his body, you can see the terrible scars on his back, which are deep enough to see the bones. It looks shocking.
This claw almost tore him into a puddle of rotten flesh.
Although the injury has long since healed, the pain that penetrated into the bone marrow still remained in Helfas's heart. When he thought about it, it seemed that his back still hurt and blood seemed to still ooze.
"Why did you suddenly remember this?"
Yes, Helfas just dreamed about the scene of that day again.
The claws falling from the sky, the cold light so sharp that it can tear everything apart, everything is still fresh in my memory.
He dreamed again that he was running for his life in the dark and humid jungle, longing for any ray of light that fell from the gaps in the leaves.
Helfas rested one hand on the edge of the tub, looking at the wound on his back through the moonlight and reflection.
"What the **** is that?"
To this day, Helfas still doesn’t know what it was that almost killed him that day.
He had also deliberately paid attention to whether there were similar existences in the Full Moon Forest, but he could not find them. The Full Moon Forest was too big, and they could only encounter part of it.
Although he didn't find it, Helfas was not disappointed, or in other words, he hoped to never encounter that weird thing.
Helfas asked someone to carry the basin down, and then walked towards his residence.
At this time, a shadow looked faintly at Helfas from a very far distance outside.
The gaze penetrated the farmland and lake, and passed through the canyon.
Eventually.
It fell on the dark-haired man walking on the central avenue of houses.
The next day.
Helfas led the people through the cave tunnel and came to the vicinity of the mine.
Bad news came early in the morning. There was an accident in the mine, and all the people who stayed in the mine to garrison died.
When Helfas came, all he saw were the torn and charred corpses. The entire wooden house where the miners lived and the wooden shed where the utensils and iron ore were placed were overturned by a huge force. It looked like a mess.
Paired with the horrific death state of the corpse, the scene was really terrifying.
Herfas asked as soon as he arrived.
"Everyone is dead?"
"Is anyone alive?"
If there is one alive, at least he can know what happened here.
The witcher captain and the blacksmith immediately approached, and the blacksmith responded.
"No, no one alive can be found here."
The blacksmith was scared and a little sad.
“I couldn’t find a decent body at all, and my death was too miserable.”
The witcher captain observed the surroundings with the Coward's Lamp: "Lord Helfas, that weirdo has left. It must not be nearby. This should be a weirdo who likes to keep moving his position."
Helfas: "Did you find anything wrong, or anything that matches the weird features we recorded?"
At this time, the blacksmith officer frowned and said a strange thing to Helfas.
"One thing is strange. The black iron tools we made are all gone. Those are tools used for mining."
"Everything, old and new, is gone."
Herfas immediately turned his head: "Is the iron tool missing?"
This is obviously abnormal. If it is an ordinary weird thing, it may not eat people, but how could it take away weapons?
It's just the movement here, and it's obviously the result of weirdness.
Herfas: "Could it be that after the strange invasion, someone came over and took away the iron tools here?"
The blacksmith shook his head: "Then I don't know."
Helfas looked at the Demon Hunter Captain, and he immediately said: "I'll go check it out right away."
Helfas still stayed where he was. He squatted down and looked carefully at the scorched black spots on the mutilated corpses.
"Why doesn't it feel like it's on fire?"
-------------------------
In the jungle.
A caravan is traveling. There are about dozens of them, as well as twenty or thirty ground dragon beasts and peakback dragon beasts, loaded with various goods from afar.
The leader is a middle-aged dragon man with a big beard, riding on an earth dragon beast and swaying left and right.
The bearded businessman was accompanied by a woman wearing a metal mask. The two seemed to have a special relationship, so the bearded businessman wanted to bring the woman over to participate in the Black Iron Tribe's city founding ceremony.
On the way, the two people were talking and laughing.
The woman was holding a child in her arms, only three or four years old.
Woman: "I heard that Master Helfas is cultivating a third piece of farmland. It would be great if we could have our own piece of farmland at some time, so that we wouldn't have to worry about food."
The bearded businessman said: "Helfas has been thinking of ways to cultivate more farmland. He is not a stingy person. He has been doing sealing and fighting weird things, and he also hopes that everyone can eat them. Serve food and live better."
"But the population of the Black Iron Tribe is growing too fast, and they also need food very much."
The bearded businessman thought for a moment and suddenly thought of something.
"But I heard that the farmland of the farmer tribe can also be divided into a new farmland. I can talk to the farmer then to see if I can exchange it with something, and then I will see if I can ask Helfas for help. ”
The woman said: "Then you go and talk about it. If the children can farm their own fields in the future, they won't have to go out and take risks to hunt or become businessmen."
The bearded businessman: "Isn't it bad to be a businessman?"
Woman: "It's good, but it doesn't feel reassuring."
In this era, there is no concept of husband and wife. Women in each tribe give birth to children who do not know who their father is, and the children they give birth to live and grow up with their mothers.
So the relationship between a woman and the bearded businessman can only be regarded as the long-term promised lover of the bearded businessman.
Or something else.
However, this also means that the matriarchal tribal system in the Land of the Full Moon is under impact and is slowly undergoing some changes.
The emergence of Helfas, demon hunters and sealed objects further increased the importance of the original hunting team. More and more people began to take the initiative to understand weirdness, avoid weirdness and even want to become demon hunters. seal.
The emergence of caravans greatly increased the importance of craftsmen.
The emergence of farmer tribes has also made farmers and planting the future.
Men gradually replaced women's dominant position in major productions such as hunting, agriculture, animal husbandry and handicrafts, and became the main economic pillar of the tribe.
So the combination of husband and wife and family has slowly begun to appear. This is most obvious among the Black Iron tribe. The model of men and women forming families and living together to raise children has begun to become popular.
As the caravan walked, the distance suddenly opened up.
They saw the plains and valleys, as well as herds of velvet dragons, and shepherds waving whips and whistling.
The bearded businessman laughed: "We have arrived at the Zhi tribe."
Everyone came down together and entered the Weaving Tribe to rest. After resting, they would go to the Black Iron Tribe in the Full Moon Forest tomorrow.
The bearded businessman entered the Zhi tribe with women, children and caravan members. Everyone in the tribe knew the bearded businessman, greeted him familiarly, and came to watch him bring goods.
"Is there anything new?"
"I want some cheap pottery bowls. They don't have to be too good, as long as they are durable. I can replace them with cloth. Do you have any here?"
"Yes, yes, yes, what don't I have here?"
"Come back this time and help me get some black iron pots!"
"You live by the Full Moon Forest, and you still want me to get iron tools?"
"Who doesn't know about your relationship with Lord Helfas? Black iron weapons are so popular that you really can't buy them!"
The bearded businessman was very happy after hearing this, but he kept saying it.
"Herfas doesn't care about the trivial matter of who these iron items are sold to, and I can't bother him for an iron pot."
Leaving the noisy entrance of the tribe, the bearded businessman was very happy to arrive at his temporary residence and rest place.
The woman saw him like this and said to him.
"If someone compliments you a few words, you will be happy like this."
The bearded businessman: "It's not because they praise me, it's because I haven't seen Helfas for a long time. I think he is so powerful now, and I am happy for him."
The woman asked him quietly: "Everyone says that Lord Helfas is a **** who came down from the sky. Is it true?"
The bearded businessman: "Only Helfas himself knows this, but from the first moment I saw him, I knew that he would definitely do something shocking because he has shocking abilities. ."
"Now he will build a city, the first city."
When the bearded businessman mentioned that Helfas was going to build a city, his expression was extremely proud.
The woman looked at the Zhi tribe, thinking of the changes in the land of the full moon, and of her own tribe.
"Yes!"
"Can you imagine that the arrival of one person can change everyone and thousands of unchanged worlds?"
This was her first time to go to the Black Iron Tribe. She couldn't imagine the grand scenery there, nor did she know what the legendary city looked like.
"City?"
"What is it like?"
The bearded businessman sat down, looked at the child aside, and picked up a piece of lean meat from the earthenware plate on the table.
"Come, eat more. After dinner we will set off to see your Uncle Helfas tomorrow."
“A lot of people came to this ceremony. It was an unprecedented scene.”
The child asked curiously: "Are there any delicious food at the ceremony?"
The bearded businessman laughed: "Of course, there are lots and lots of delicious food."
At night, the bearded businessman snored and slept soundly, and it was quiet outside.
In this era, lighting up lights at night is an extremely luxurious thing, so everyone goes to rest when it gets dark, and the only sounds outside can be heard are the sound of wind, the swaying of leaves, and the chirping of insects.
Suddenly, there was a thunder outside.
"Boom!"
The sound seemed to be in his ears, and the bearded businessman was suddenly awakened by fright.
The woman on the side had already stood up and looked outside, while holding her child in her arms.
"Thunder?"
The bearded businessman looked outside, feeling funny about being startled, and shook his head.
"It's okay."
"It's just thunder, go to sleep."
However, just as he lay down, screams came one after another from outside.
"Ah!"
"What is that, what is it?"
"Weird."
"The weird is coming, the weird is coming to eat people."
Suddenly, the bearded man's drowsiness disappeared.
Because he heard the word weird.
Generally, monsters have the highest probability of attacking when there are thousands or hundreds of people, but it is not impossible when there are few people. Many tribes encounter monsters when there are only two or three hundred people, and it is not uncommon for them to die in the end. .
However, some large tribes also have some methods of escaping, and even methods of expelling and avoiding strange things.
The bearded man immediately got up and asked the woman and child to stay in the house and not move.
"Don't panic, I brought Long Xiang here!"
"I quickly lit it to drive out the weirdness."
The bearded man opened the box and took out something, including flint.
"It's okay, it's okay."
"I'm very experienced in this."
He was talking to the woman and child on the bed like this, not sure whether to comfort each other or himself.
He rushed out alone and saw darkness outside.
People were coming and going in the darkness, and you couldn't see who was who. You could only see shadows running around in panic, screaming in terror.
"Run out quickly."
"Weirdness is coming, don't get together."
"Hurry up and run, every one who can run is the only one."
The bearded businessman looked up towards the core direction where everyone wanted to escape, and could see the outline of a huge creature in the sky. The creature flapped its wings and made a tooth-piercing friction sound.
Even if you can't see its true appearance, its weird body shape and movements already make people tremble in their hearts.
"What's that weird?"
The bearded businessman thought to himself.
Suddenly, a white light lit up in front of his eyes.
Then the "thunder" he just heard sounded again.
"Boom!"
The thunder was accompanied by a strange roar.
"Uuuuh~"
He saw a bolt of thunder and fire falling from the sky and landing on the ground.
Big Beard watched the houses of the Weaver tribe in the distance turn into a sea of fire, and with the help of the thunder and the sea of fire, he could also clearly see the strange appearance.
It was an extremely large monster with a towering head and gleaming dragon scales, as indestructible as steel.
The horns on the top of its head are sharp, exuding extremely powerful power. Its huge wings spread out like a bat and bring up strong winds. Its claws are like made of alloy. You can tell at a glance that it can easily tear apart any object it knows, even if the metal is in it. The claws are also as fragile as cloth.
Especially those eyes that look at mortals, with the cruelty and greed of beasts, but very calm.
Quiet cruelty, cold greed.
It reminded him of the piece of fat and lean meat that he had just eaten for dinner. When he watched the butcher slaughter the beast, the other man was also so calm, and he put his life on the line while talking and laughing. His dinner plate.
Against the sea of fire, he held the dragon incense he once relied on as a means of saving his life and shouted out the weird name in horror.
"Dragon!"
