Chapter 54 - A lumberyard full of gold

"I observed some traces of that river, and there shouldn't be any large creatures wandering around it recently. At least no giants have walked a similar path to us." At the sight of that lumberyard, Aggie said.

George nodded and looked around the top of the hill, feeling that most of the area was still visible, although it was somewhat obscured by the mist. And after he looked at it, he looked at the scrolls again. Found that the path they had taken, as well as the entire lumberyard, had appeared on the map.

There were no red dots on there.

George breathed a sigh of relief and searched the scroll for the tracks of Jack and the others.

The footprints of these people traveled were also recorded on the top of the scroll. The blue dots were flashing, like scouts who kept exploring forward.

''I wonder how far the scrolls can show at most.''

Jack and each of their groups were going in different directions, and so far they hadn't encountered any monsters - or maybe the things they encountered were fixable, so they were taken care of.

''Looks like we'll be able to work properly today.'' Retracting the scroll, George settled down and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

George's eyes darted around and looked at the lumberyard, looking at those round logs and gulped up.

In his eyes, these timbers are now more important than gold!

''Green dragon wood, purple shirt, ivory wood, fragrant sandalwood, emerald heather, ironwood, stone bark pine... These fine logs, even before the disaster, were extremely expensive and sought-after goods! And now, it's even more of a treasured resource!'

These logs are the highest quality materials, whether they are used to make high-grade furniture, buildings, or longbows and weapons. Even the great scholars of Wingwind City would occasionally bring their students here to personally select something special.

The 'gold' that comes out of this logging site every year is worth as much as a small mine!

Moreover, the flash floods did not wash much of the wood away, which is undoubtedly a great joyous news.

The edge of the lumberyard is a river, and through this river, it will be able to float those wood near the territory. Previously the lumberyard is transported in accordance with this river, many territories have been patronized.

Of course, the road is not a straight line, there will be many bends. In the past is the need for manpower to guard the various bends, but now is able to have a ghost push wood.

George's eyes changed direction and looked at the river bank. He saw that there had been flash floods on the river side before, and some of the logs along the river had been washed down. But washed clean that area, but also let the good wood inside better handling - near the river, some of the wood has grown mushrooms, and even rotted.

Just pry some logs with a crowbar, it will be able to roll to that river.

Thinking about it, George put the scroll away, clapped his hands, greeted Alexander who was looking for squirrels in the woods, and was ready to get to work.

At this time, Aggie suddenly came over, blinking while saying to the lord: "My lord, I'm not lazy. But I want to go and check over there first."

After saying that he also swallowed slightly nervous smear, then he smiled to the lord: "You do not be nervous. I'm a suspicious person, I won't feel at ease until I've seen the whole neighborhood. In addition, I can also help you to keep watch over there."

George nodded in agreement, he looked at Agi's distant back, his heart slightly tightened.

This seems very lively guy, in fact, very cautious. Without finding something, will not talk nonsense.

But now that he has arrived at the place, he will never turn his head and leave because of the point what traces. And even if the giant came over, the big deal is that he followed the wood down the river in advance.

"Fuck, today not finish moving these logs, the old man will definitely lose sleep at night!" George gritted his teeth fiercely.

"Fuck!" Alexander only replied.

The crowbar is ready-made, hammer axe saw and other messy tools are also very complete. Before doing the work, George looked at the cabin on top of the map - just in that direction of Aggie. Decided not to go through the mists to explore the scavenging first. These things in the site is enough.

The two men first nailed some sturdy stakes along the river to keep the logs from rolling straight down.

At first George was on top and Alexander was at the river. But found that although he could pry those logs, but not strong enough, some logs can not roll directly to the location. Very inefficient.

After that they both switched a position.

When they rubbed shoulders, Alexander also extended three fingers and gave George a high five.

After coming to the established position, Alexander saw the lord waved his hand, and then spat two pieces of spittle toward the inside of his hand. Immediately after that, those logs rolled down sparingly.

Looking at those logs tumbling towards him, George was scared out of his mind and hurriedly shouted for Alexander to stop. The hands and feet, only to get those logs to hold.

"This is not to spare this money, the old man just absolutely directly flash away!" Wiped the sweat, let Alexander slightly slow down the pace a bit.

This time the logs that rolled in, finally considered to be in the range that humans can handle.

Gradually, as the log pile got higher and higher, George couldn't help but feel a bit alarmed when he used the crowbar to place those logs in front of the pile.

'Gotta sort it out.' The sweaty George waved his hand and let Alexander down first. After the two people sorted out, these dozens of logs were considered settled down.

"Rest for a while, the old man is really about to die of exhaustion." George said with a ragged breath.

This large pile of wood is really quite a lot, by definition, this work is not a person can do, can do now, George is considered to be the milk of strength to make out. And his lockets have long been thrown aside.

But Alexander is not red face not breath. In fact, really want to cooperate with him, no ten or eight people, simply can not keep up with his rhythm.

"No need to rest, chief, later you put that what the Holy Spirit to release, and then you watch from the side. A little later I'll pout hard up there, and if any wood really rolls down, I'll release it hard and let them all roll down the river inside."

George wiped the sweat from his chin and faintly stared. Suddenly felt that this rough idea does work.

He looked at the current wood and estimated that using them to rebuild the schoolyard was definitely enough, and even to repair the inner walls. It can be said that every additional piece of wood now, is earned for nothing!

And the servants can not carry too much at a time, after all, the river over the bend in the slow flow of the place, is the need to spend energy. 2 + 3's divided into two groups, handling two batches of wood enough.

Thinking of this, George nodded fiercely and sat down to rest to the side.

Taking advantage of this time, he turned over the scroll and searched for the location of Agi. Then he found that the guy had gone far out and had stayed put.

He turned his head to look over to the mist, but could not see anything. I don't know what the hell this kid is doing.

"Damn, not over there to sleep it?!" Although the mouth said so, but George's little heart is tightening up, praying that the guy is really lazy sleep, not found something, so do not dare to move.

Grumble grumble logs rolling sound again, George did not have the heart to think more, tightly stared at the wood pile.

Looking at that one log, shockingly crashing in front of the wood pile, George felt like his heart was also crashing. It felt as if he was smoking blackjack! Each log that came down was like the last straw that overwhelmed the log pile, yet the pile was never crushed.

Alexander did it more and more roughly, as if the work just now, is not enough to warm up cool. Later, he directly threw away the crowbar and began to stand behind the log pile, pushing down one by one!

Clattering, grunting, grunting, the pace picked up a few more points, seeing that the original pile of logs had more than doubled to!

"This fucking inner wall, the castle can be repaired!" George jumped up in excitement.

Alexander did not stop with one breath, the logs kept banging downward, seeing more and more gathered, the pile side clicked with the sound of breaking, it was about to collapse!

'We can't leave Aggie here by herself!'
