Chapter 884

Ang and the others turned their heads to look and saw several swordsmen in city defense army attire. The one speaking was the intermediate swordsman who was the leader.

"I knew it..." Naji muttered in the communicator, opened the cabin door, jumped out, and greeted enthusiastically: "Hello, officer. On duty? Hard work, hard work."

While speaking, he held the hand of the leader swordsman and shook it hard.

The leader swordsman originally had a look of disgust and wanted to shake off Naji's hand, but feeling the hardness coming from the other party's palm, the expression on the swordsman's face softened immediately.

Without changing his expression, he received the hard thing in his palm into his arms, and the leader swordsman said kindly: "Mountain fire season, all constructs within the range of Fenfeng Town must accept employment to cut down isolation belts to guard against mountain fires. Go to the logistics office five kilometers outside the town to register. Someone will assign you tasks and supplies, and register work hours and settle expenses."

Naji nodded helplessly, returned to the construct, and said with a wry smile: "Really unlucky. Can't leave. Follow me."

Two logging constructs plus Ang walked toward the outside of the town. After walking a distance, Naji explained: "Fire prevention task. Our constructs were requisitioned. They didn't dare to let us go. Now either cut isolation belts for two days, complete the task and leave, or abandon the constructs and leave, or leave on foot. What to do?"

The monarch didn't say what to do, but asked back: "Did you just stuff something to them? They didn't let us go even after taking your things? Then didn't you give it for nothing?"

Naji wasn't angry, explaining: "Fire prevention task level is high. No matter how much you stuff, they won't dare to let you go. But it's not for nothing. Didn't you hear him change his words later? From requisition to employment."

"Originally, the requirement from above should be to employ constructs within the jurisdiction. But if you don't stuff something, they won't tell us whether it's employment or requisition. If we stupidly go up, no one registers, that's requisition, working for nothing, even food, drink, and magic crystals have to be prepared by ourselves."

"But if you register first, not only are food, housing, and energy covered, but there are also work hour fees. The work hour fees given for fire prevention tasks are quite high. Some chambers of commerce specifically take this kind of task, which counts as a good task. Usually, it's not our turn for this kind of casual work."

The monarch listened and couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out there are so many details. You just shook hands with him. Really complicated. Ang letting you lead the way is right."

"Hehe, after all, information is also a kind of resource. Others don't have the obligation to take the initiative to tell you the news they know. Unfortunately, I didn't understand this truth when I was young and took many detours. Sigh, forget it, don't say this. What do we do now? Go to work or run?" Naji asked.

Hearing a goblin not even fifty years old say "when I was young" in front of him felt strange. It hadn't been as long as one of his toe bones.

Thinking for a moment, the monarch said: "Detour, right? Leave on foot, to the next town with a teleportation gate, right?"

"Correct. However, fire prevention is not the matter of one or two towns. We might have to walk a very long distance to find a town that doesn't requisition logging constructs. The distance is too far. Logging constructs might not be able to walk such a long distance. The best way is to find an airship to transport them. But airships and flying cars should also be within the scope of requisition. Not certain to find an airship willing to carry us."

Naji analyzed it bit by bit, making the monarch's head big. He wished he could throw away the logging construct and leave on foot. In order to cover his tracks, the monarch also made a camouflage. The bones were wrapped carefully with cloth strips, then covered with clothes and leather armor. It was hard to see through his camouflage if your eyesight wasn't good.

"Go save fire," Ang suddenly interrupted.

"Ah? Go save fire? Are you not in a hurry?" The monarch was surprised.

Ang shook his head. He had used that star-gazing mirror of Di Lu Ni. From seeing the light spot to contact, there was a very long period of time, basically measured in years. He wasn't in a hurry.

If it were other things, it would be fine, but now it was a mountain fire. Thinking of the mountain fire that would burn the entire forest if it spread, Ang felt this was more urgent.

He was the symbiotic host of two life trees. Watching the forest burn down, the little saplings would "Ya" at him.

"Alright then." The monarch didn't have to have a big head. Fix the mountain fire and then leave.

A group of people arrived at the logistics registration office about five kilometers outside the town. It was just an inconspicuous canopy tent. Two soldiers were staying there bored. If no one reminded you, you wouldn't associate this with a logistics registration office at all. It was very easy to ignore it.

Naji said: "I'm going to register. What name should I register?"

The monarch was also a name-giving waste. After staring at Ang for a while, he finally decided to use the name Vegetable Bone.

Naji ran over to register, incidentally asked about a lot of news, and then led some color marks and supplies back.

Sticking the color marks on the chest, back, and shoulders of the logging construct, and sticking the small ones on Ang, everyone successfully landed and had a compilation.

"Alright, we are now the Fenfeng Fire Prevention Wall Emergency Rescue Team, Vegetable Bone Logging Group. Wait a moment, a flying car will come over. We'll take the car to the front to report. I just asked, this Fenfeng is quite famous," Naji said.

"Quite famous? Is this town very famous?" The monarch asked.

"No, no, no. Fenfeng is a kind of natural phenomenon. Listening to their description, the monsoon blows from a low-altitude place, crosses the mountain range, and as the altitude rises, the water vapor in the monsoon turns into rain and falls. Only the dry wind crosses the mountain range. This kind of wind is called Fenfeng."

"The dry Fenfeng will quickly blow the water vapor of the forest dry, and then with a little spark, the forest will be ignited, and then burn all the way, until winter rain and snow cover it to stop." Naji said the information he asked about once.

The monarch looked at the climate. It was still the scorching summer: "Still half a year until winter. Have to burn for half a year?"

Naji nodded: "They said so. The Fenfeng Fire Prevention Wall is to cut out wide enough isolation belts in the forest, separate the forest into blocks, and cooperate with the mage legion's water vapor guidance to let the Fenfeng become moist."

The monarch nodded: "The plan is feasible. It just needs a large investment. Does it have to be carried out every year? Does the Royal Family have so much money to consume here?"

"Then I don't know." Naji spread his hands.

The monarch still wanted to ask something, but suddenly saw Ang turn his head to look into the distance. He also looked into the distance and said: "Estimate not. It has already burned over."

At the end of the horizon in the distance, it was all red, and the raging fire lit up the sky.

The monarch and Naji honestly worked here for three days. With everyone working together, they cut out several wide isolation belts.

The fire line in the sky was also getting closer and closer. A large amount of thick smoke drifted over, turned into ashes, and covered the ground with a thick layer.

However, drifting over with the thick smoke was another kind of thing. Ang caught for two days in the forest and caught a piece of emerald green tree leaf—Elf Heart.

This was not a good phenomenon. Elf Heart was essentially primordial faith energy, a totem. Forming an Elf Heart in this way only had one reason: too many creatures died in the forest.
