The correct way to open the elf

Chapter 82 Arrival at the Longyue Forest
In addition, Feng Yu also encouraged the halfling farmers to transplant snake vines in the ownerless wasteland that could not be reached by the canals, and told them that the camp would continue to purchase snake fruits, which could also be exchanged for building materials.

Although he stamped out some currency, that thing had no actual value and he didn't want to be known as a swindler, so he used materials to exchange whenever possible, and the stamped currency was only paid to the workers to meet their daily expenses.

The things in the farmers' market reserved for the workers' residential area were all obtained by Feng Yu in exchange for industrial products such as salt from the half-orc farmers. Only this place recognized the currency he suppressed.

This situation will continue until Feng Yu can get precious metals such as gold and silver, and then it can be resolved.

When the migrating people returned to the Longyue Forest, it was almost the time when the goblins arrived in the Longyue Forest to trade with the elves. In order to seize the goblins' business, Feng Yu asked Anthony to arrange a ship to the north to the Longyue Forest not long after the migrating people set out.

Anthony is the backbone of the camp and a strategic deterrent force. He will not go north back to the Long Moon Forest. He arranges one of his senior water magician students to follow the fleet as his representative and provide certain protection for the fleet's first voyage.

At the same time, he used a falcon as a messenger to convey information about the fleet's supplies and approximate arrival time to the elves in the Misty Moon Forest.

Anthony had sent back information before, explaining the camp information, transaction list and corresponding value.

Of course, Feng Yu didn't know what specific message Anthony had delivered back to Longyue Forest. That was the elves' business and he had no control over it. Besides, it was impossible for Anthony to show him the letter.

But he didn't care. Dick was the leader of the fleet this time, and Feng Yu didn't believe that the elves would embarrass a dwarf clan leader.

As for Dick, compared to the elves, he now prefers Feng Yu, who provides delicious food, fine wine, steam engines and advanced weapons to his Bronze Hammer Clan and the dwarves of the Dwarf Kingdom.

The dwarves helped the elves out of a mentality of uniting weaker races to keep each other warm, but cooperating with Feng Yu would bring real benefits, so Feng Yu believed that Dick knew what he should do.

Feng Yu has already promised the Dwarf Kingdom through Dick that after completing the transaction with the elves, he will free up the fleet to transport trading materials to the dwarves.

Dick's fleet consisted of five steamships, and starting from the third one, they were much larger than the first one. The ships were loaded with a large amount of salt and a small amount of fine porcelain, and they set off upstream towards the Longyue Forest.

Less than half a day after they set out, they caught up with the elves and halflings who were migrating along the Lengshui River in the wilderness like sheep. Amid their shouts, they braved the wind and waves, overtaking the migrating crowd and quickly moving towards the Long Moon Forest.

Standing at the bow, looking at the outlines of the mountains slowly enlarging at the end of the field of vision, Dick felt a sense of the vastness of the world and the freedom to roam freely.

Anthony, the senior magician student who had little presence in the camp, looked at Dick on the bow and felt that his short and sturdy body seemed very tall at this moment.

"What are you looking at, Chief Dick?"

Dick smiled sweetly and turned around and said, "Master Margery, don't you think that driving a steam iron ship and galloping on the Lengshui River is much better than staying in the camp and working as a blacksmith?"

Margery smiled and said, "Maybe it's because this is your first time sailing. After a while, you may not have this feeling anymore.

Just like practicing magic, you feel it is very novel at first, but when practicing it day after day takes over your life, you no longer think magic is good. Of course, except for the sense of security that magic power brings. "

Dick said: "I still think that this kind of life is interesting. Maybe when I go back, I will talk to Darren about becoming a professional captain."

Margery smiled and said nothing. Dick turned around and continued to look at the bow of the ship. However, he curled his lips and thought that elves were just pretentious. If we dwarves had a talent for magic, we wouldn't find magic boring!
No matter how boring it is to practice magic day after day, can it be more boring than forging iron arrows day after day? !

The fleet sailed upstream, and when they arrived at the mouth of a tributary of the Moonlight Forest, elf patrols appeared from time to time on the shore.

Dick hung a flag embroidered with a full-grained cattail on a wooden pole standing next to the steam engine at the stern. It was designed by Nicole and embroidered by an elf embroiderer, representing Cattail City.

Feng Yu didn't care about this kind of logo, so Nicole designed it casually and Feng Yu used it.

He also told Nicole that as long as the cattail planting was successful, everyone in the camp would be able to eat delicious fragrant rice, and this logo would be even more appropriate.

The elf patrol that appeared on the shore stopped patrolling and rode on horned deer to follow the fleet on the shore.

Dick blew the whistle playfully, and other ships followed suit because they heard from Feng Yu that this was the ships' way of saying hello.

The high-pitched whistle startled the horned deer, who had never heard such a sound, and the elf patrol team immediately fell to the ground.

When Dick and the other instigators realized that they had caused trouble, they all sat down and hid themselves behind the steam engine.

Margery shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

By the time the fleet entered the tributary of the Moonlit Forest, the shore was already filled with elves and halflings who had come to watch the fun.

Dick, who had a clear mind, was feeling regretful at this moment, because he thought of his fellow dwarves living in the Snow-Top Mountains, who lived in scattered places due to limited living resources. Otherwise, it would be great if there was such a scene with tens of thousands of people watching next time when he led a team to transport supplies to the Dwarf Kingdom.

It's a good opportunity to let my fellow dwarves see that Dick Copper Hammer, the patriarch of my Copper Hammer clan, is definitely the first dwarf patriarch in dwarf history to conquer the Lengshui River.

"Dick, let's get to the shore. The river is full of rocks if we go upstream."

Dick, who was interrupted, was startled and realized that they had reached the bend of the river. The upstream section of the river was no longer able to allow the "huge" steamboat to move forward.

Dick was looking for a place to dock. Mu Ran looked up and found that behind the elves watching on the shore, some elven warriors were surrounding a moonlight elf wearing a crown of thorns. A beautiful and graceful female moonlight elf was holding his arm.

"Then...then...could it be the Elf King Minai Yuehua of your Elf Clan?"

Margery rolled his eyes at him and said, "What do you think? What were you thinking just now? King Minai and the princess are waiting for you here, but you just keep sailing forward!"
