MTL - Another World Sandbox Gamer-Chapter 13 Tree thief?
"Boom!" Ren's sailboat was attacked by an underwater giant and shook violently.
Standing on the bow of the boat and shooting arrows into the water with others, he almost fell, but fortunately his hands and feet were fast enough to quickly grab the railing.
The other few were not so lucky, fell into the water one after another, and were dragged to the bottom of the lake by the sea clan.
The sea clan also suffered losses, and they were killed by bows, arrows and magic.
When the two sides were fighting fiercely, several warships appeared in the direction of the fortress and moved quickly towards this side.
On several unsinkable sailboats, the soldiers who resisted the sea clan shouted: "Reinforcement is here!"
Hearing these words, the soldiers and businessmen on the ship became very popular, and they fought harder against the sea clan.
With the arrival of the warship, the fortress army joined in, and the combat effectiveness was indeed extraordinary.
Faced with heavy casualties in the face of the army's onslaught, the Hai people couldn't support it, and they all dived into the bottom of the lake and disappeared.
The lake calmed down. If it weren't for the corpses of humans and sea clan floating on the water, as well as the red-stained lake water, no one would believe that this beautiful Moon Lake had just experienced a brutal battle.
Survivors cooperated with the army to salvage the bodies and count the casualties.
The corpses of the sea tribe were all sent to the warship.
Ren sat on the bow to rest, thankful that the battle ended in time. Although he participated in the battle, in fact, he did not kill a single target except for shooting a few sea clans.
"Are you okay?" A bearded man came to the bow, he was the captain of the ship, Luke, "Young man, you are very brave! Thank you for helping to protect my sailboat."
"I'm just protecting myself!" Ren replied, after all, if the ship sank, he would die.
"Hahaha~" Captain Luke said with a hearty smile, "I like you! In the battle just now, several sailors were lost on board. Are you interested in working for me?"
"Being a sailor is not my style!" Ren shook his head decisively.
"Are you worried that the sea clan will attack again?" Captain Luke said. "They usually don't enter Moon Lake, but this time it's quite strange. There is a fortress army, and after suffering a loss, they will definitely not come again!"
"They are called Sea Clan, why do they live in Moon Lake?" Ren asked in confusion, "Since they are hiding at the bottom of the lake, there should be a way to deal with them."
Captain Luke laughed: "Of course the sea clan lives in the sea, how could it be possible to live in Moon Lake? As we all know, the deepest part of Moon Lake is connected to the South Gris Sea. Of course, the sea clan enters Moon Lake through an underwater channel."
"So it is!" Ren suddenly realized, thinking that the terrain here is absolutely perfect, the west is the desert, and the south is the ocean?
"Are you an exile? This is the first time you have come to Nangris Kingdom?"
"how do you know?"
"Because all the adventurers in Nangris came from Storm City, and you came from the direction of Despair Sand Sea. I have a good memory, and I will never forget it when I see it once. Your face is extremely unfamiliar." Luke The captain replied, "Despair Sand Sea is the preferred area for the exiles. It is not easy for you to come out of such a terrible place!"
Really scary! Ren said in his heart, if it wasn't for the sandbox system, he would have died in the desert long ago!
"Are the Nangris Kingdom and the Sea Clan hostile?" He was a little curious.
Captain Luke shrugged his shoulders: "Occasionally, there are sea clan attacks, and it is the first time to attack Moon Lake. Why do those **** murlocs do such a thing, you should ask their sea gods! You think about it, come over at any time when you figure it out. , I'll reserve a sailor spot for you here!"
"Thank you!" Although Ren felt that he would never come back to be a sailor, he still thanked him verbally.
After the battlefield was cleared, the warship escorted the surviving ships and the rescued people until they reached the other side of Moon Lake.
When disembarking, Captain Luke shouted to Ren again: "My ship reserves the sailor quota for you!"
Ren waved the sailboat and followed the caravan along the road.
After walking for half an hour, I finally saw a city. It was a huge circle. The periphery was protected by a towering city wall. The dense buildings surrounded a magnificent castle.
There are also village buildings and many farmland and pastures around the city, which are thriving.
Although it is far away, it looks like the Middle Ages in terms of architectural style, and has no connection with modern times anyway.
It seems that this world is inclined towards magic, and science is not developed.
Although there are airships, they are relatively rare magical products. Normal people's means of transportation are still horse-drawn carriages and ships.
By the way, the scenery outside the city is amazing!
The sky is blue, the trees are green, and the air is very fresh.
With dense trees and quiet forests, it is really a good place to build a home.
So Ren left the caravan, found a nearby clear river, stopped in a relatively flat forest area nearby, planned the initial structure of the base in his mind, and prepared to clear the terrain.
It's not like a desert here, there are abundant forest resources, stones can be seen everywhere, and there are all kinds of plants.
So Ren picked up a lot of stones, made the head of a stone axe, collected plants to obtain fibers, made fiber ropes, and made stone axe together with twigs.
The cutting efficiency of the stone axe is much stronger than that of the wooden axe, and the durability is also high.
To make rope from fiber, there is no need to waste linen. After all, rags can be used as bandages and are basic medical materials.
With the stone axe in hand, work immediately.
Ren kept cutting down big trees, not collecting wood and branches. After all, the virtual backpack did not lack these materials, just to clear the open space for the construction base.
The work was boring, but he worked hard. UU reading www.uukanshu.com quickly cleaned up one-third of the area.
At this moment, a man appeared with an axe and shouted loudly, "Stop!"
When Ren heard the sound, he stopped cutting and turned his head to look. He looked suspiciously in front of him, a stranger dressed as a farmer in a straw hat and holding an iron axe: "Is something wrong?"
"You cut down my tree in my woods, how dare you ask me?" the man said anxiously, "Who asked you to steal my tree?"
"Uh~ Is this forest yours?" Ren felt embarrassed, "I just arrived in Storm City and wanted to find a place to live, not to steal trees."
"Don't try to lie to me! Marcel must have sent you here."
"Marcel?" Ren looked blank.
"Where is your carriage hiding? Where are your accomplices? Call them out!"
"I really didn't steal trees!" Ren explained helplessly, "In fact, I was an exile who was thrown into the Sea of Despair by Herman Kingdom and just walked out. I was even attacked by the Sea Clan when I passed Moon Lake. , you can go over there and ask Captain Luke."
The man inspected the surrounding roads, and did not find the carriage carrying the trees, nor the so-called companions, and then checked the trees that were cut down. The number of trees was correct, and they were in log condition. If the tree is stolen, it will not be cut so short.
Seeing that Ren's face showed no panic and fear except for embarrassment, he finally believed: "Since it wasn't sent by Marcel, leave these logs and leave quickly!"
"I want to ask, which woods can be settled here?" Ren asked.
"Outsiders, if you want to settle in Storm City, you must buy a piece of land. Even if there is no owner of the wasteland, it is the property of the city owner. It is illegal to build in the Storm City area without permission!"
"I see! Do you have to buy land first?" Ren understood.
