Chapter 84 - Blackrock Forest
“Huh? Why do you feel a little familiar?”
Zhang Feng walked to the base of the wall and squatted down, and Caroline quickly followed. Today, her task was to protect Zhang Feng, and she couldn’t leave.
Zhang Feng touched the claw marks, showing a puzzled look.
“Master Zhang Feng, did you find something?”
“Ok.”
Zhang Feng hummed, then carefully stroked the claw marks. On the ink-black marks, there was a slight coolness from the tips of his fingers.
“This kind of stone is called a black stone?”
Zhang Feng asked suddenly.
“Yes, this is Black Stone.”
Marlowe affirmed.
“Can you dig it out?”
Zhang Feng pointed to the black stone with several claw marks.
Marlowe and Caroline looked at each other.
“Master Zhang Feng, it’s not impossible to dig out this black stone, but it may affect the stability of this section of the city wall after digging it out.”
Hearing Marlowe’s words, Zhang Feng felt a little embarrassed. He forgot that this stone was at the bottom of the city wall, and he had to move his whole body with a single hair.
“Are there any other black stones? I mean, you can get the one in front of me.”
Marlowe beckoned, a soldier trotted over, Marlowe explained a few words to him, and the soldier left in a hurry. Not long after, the soldier came with a large wooden basket.
In the wooden basket were several small gray stones, which were called “black stones”.
Zhang Feng took a look at it, and then handed it to Marlowe.
“Smash him to pieces.”
“Yes.”
Marlowe never asked why, he picked up the spear in the soldier’s hand, put the black stone on the ground, and found a piece of cloth to wrap the black stone.
Marlow threw out a spear, without any bells and whistles, and hit the Black Stone directly. With a bang, the black stone shattered, but because it was covered by a cloth, the **** did not splash onto Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng lifted the rag with anticipation, but what was exposed was just a pile of gray stone slag.
“no?”
Zhang Feng was a little puzzled. He glanced at the large black stone at the base of the wall again, a little unwilling.
“The rest are also broken.”
“Yes.”
boom! boom! boom!
It was still ordinary stone slag, and Zhang Feng doubted himself.
Is it a mistake?
Zhang Feng was lying on the wall again, staring at the large claw mark scratched by a wolf or a leopard.
However, due to the angle, there was no direct sunlight, so Zhang Feng couldn’t see it clearly. He could only see a black thing under the claw mark, but Zhang Feng always felt that it should not be black, but dark green.
Regarding Zhang Feng’s somewhat indecent action, Knight Marlowe and Caroline naturally pretended to be invisible, and the surrounding soldiers also turned their backs to Zhang Feng in tacit understanding.
Zhang Feng turned his head and looked around, seeing that no one was looking at him, he suddenly thought.
In his slender palm, a small flashlight with the thickness of a thumb appeared, which was something that Zhang Feng had prepared at Blue Star before.
Turn on the flashlight and put it on the claw mark. Suddenly, a brilliant and deep dark green appeared from the claw mark.
Exquisitely carved and green.
“Hoo~”
Zhang Feng’s heart beat a little faster, he took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, then put away the small flashlight, and said to Knight Marlowe with a serious face:
“Do you know where these ‘black stones’ came from when this city wall was built? Not to mention it’s in the Black Rock Forest, what I need is the specific location!”
Hearing Zhang Feng’s words, Knight Marlo didn’t dare to neglect him. He recalled carefully that when he was in office, he lived in seclusion in Hongye City. At that time, because there were not many gold coins in his hand, Marlo used to carry stones in order not to reveal his identity. A part-timer, he was on site when the wall was being built.
“It should be in a rock pit in the west of Blackrock Forest.”
“Let’s go there first today!”
Zhang Feng immediately ordered, he couldn’t wait.
“Yes!”
Marlowe respectfully said yes.
“By the way, are there any leftovers from the stones used to build this city wall?”
“This… it should be gone. When I moved the stones, they were all about the same size. After all, it is not easy to go back and forth. How many stones are needed are calculated in advance…”
Listening to Marlowe’s explanation, Zhang Feng nodded.
But he was still a little unwilling, and even a little bit eager to move, because according to his guess, this is not a black stone at all, but a rough jadeite stone!
Or rather, something similar to rough jadeite.
After all, this is another world, Zhang Feng is not sure, so he called it Jade for the time being.
According to the experience on Blue Star, the raw jadeite stones are all in the jadeite mines, and there is no jadeite in the other ‘black stones’, but the ‘blackstone’ in this city wall has jadeite. It is very likely that the stone pits that built this city wall are An emerald mine!
Looking at this not very big city wall again, Zhang Feng’s mood was a little complicated. This is probably a city wall built with jadeite!
Needless to say, the value of jadeite is very cheap, but expensive is also very expensive, even ridiculously expensive. Who knows if there are any precious jadeites in such a long city wall!
If this city wall were to see the sun again, the picture would be so beautiful that Zhang Feng couldn’t even imagine it.
“Hoo~”
Zhang Feng was still rational after all. Although he had the urge to tear down the wall to see how many jadeites were in it, he knew that if it was such a sand sculpture, his Red Leaf City would not be far from the end.
“Set off!”
Zhang Feng turned his head and stopped looking at the black stone city wall.
“Yes!”
Knight Marlowe didn’t know Zhang Feng’s inner struggle. With a wave of his hand, twenty soldiers stood neatly. They were wearing armor and holding spears. It’s also very good, after all, Zhang Feng is still very willing to spend gold coins in this regard.
But looking at the three tall horses brought by Marlow, Zhang Feng was a little stunned.
“Sir City Lord, please get on your horse!”
Looking at Marlowe who was holding the horse in front of him, and Caroline who was standing beside him, Zhang Feng said with some embarrassment:
“If I say that I can’t ride a horse, do you believe it?”
Marlowe: “…”
Caroline: “…”
Nobles can’t ride horses?
Although it sounds incredible~www.mtlnovel.com~ The two were surprised. After all, this is a compulsory course for nobles, but Zhang Feng didn’t need to lie to himself, and the two chose to believe him.
“Would the Lord of the City take a carriage? But the road in the Blackstone Forest is not very easy to walk. If you take a carriage, it will be slower. In addition, we originally had two carriages in Hongye City. One was broken before, and the other was very Old, it is estimated that the riding experience is not very good.”
Listening to Marlowe’s words, Zhang Feng shook his head. Blackrock Forest must be a place full of rocks, as he knew from the name. The carriage is probably not very useful, but it is better to ride a horse.
But he can’t ride…
“Lord Zhang Feng, why don’t… let’s ride together? Or you and Marlow Knight ride together?”
Caroline spoke suddenly.
Zhang Feng turned to look at the heroic Caroline, and then at the unshaven Marlowe. Zhang Feng really chose the former.
Caroline got on the horse first, and after Zhang Feng passed her hand, she raised it vigorously.
“Hi~”
Before Zhang Feng could react, she was hugged by Caroline.
Zhang Feng was a little embarrassed by the sudden stance of the little bird. He looked at Caroline and said in a low voice:
“Can we change positions, you are in the front and I am in the back?”
