Chapter 190 Prices (Part 2)

The sunset is still there on the balcony, and the meeting continues.

"I have also inquired about it. Many commercial banks have received orders from mysterious people, and they all need food and weapons. Because the price they give is very high and the quantity they require is very large, they directly brought the prices of materials on the market. Fortunately, we bought weapons before, otherwise, if we come to buy now, we will definitely lose a lot." Speaking of this, Old Man Lulun was very glad.

Romon lowered his head, tapped the table with his finger, thought for a while, and then said, "How much has the price of weapons now increased? For example, bows, swords, shields, etc."

"This is the case. When we bought it last time, we could buy a hundred excellent crossbow arrows with almost one gold coin. Now, it seems that even fifty ones are available. As for crossbows, they are even more than six times more expensive, and the price of swords and shields is almost more than three times more expensive than before. Even so, people keep placing orders. In the current market, these weapons are in short supply."

"So, what about grain? How much has the price of grain increased?" Romon kept looking at the table and asked softly.

"Grain?" Old Man Lu Lun thought for a while and said, "The price of grain on the market is rising the fastest and most outrageous. It is about 50% more expensive than when we bought grain. This high price has never been heard of in recent decades. It is really amazing. I am afraid that the nearby citizens who have no fields all rely on buying grain will cry, which is much beyond the scope they can bear." Speaking of this, the old scholar couldn't help sighing again: "The magic disaster, this kind of disaster has begun to affect people's lives before it really comes. If those underground monsters attack it, the impact and harm it will cause..."

Thinking of that kind of scene, Lulun and Romon felt cold at the same time.

"So, we must make sufficient preparations. Now all the guards in the territory have reached at least level 2. With the weapons and equipment I purchased, I have at least some basic knowledge." Romon told Lu Lun in detail the current situation in his territory. "Also, we have a lot of food reserves. At least without planting, we can guarantee that there will be no famine within two years. As for some other things, we have bought a lot of bows and arrows. When monsters attack, the number of arrows is sufficient. What's more, we know the situation earlier than others, and have some preparations in our hearts."

"Not only that, the more important point is that you don't know if you have noticed something wrong, or if God really favors you, you actually built a wall before that, which is a very important building. With it, basically, the village has some guarantees. If there is no wall, just relying on us, haha, I'm afraid that a few more powerful monsters will be enough to destroy the entire territory." Scholar Lu Lun sighed at Romon's good luck: "So, I really want to sigh, you are really a lucky person!"

Lu Lun praised him with a little bitter smile, Romon stood up. "If you were really lucky, you wouldn't have encountered such a thing. Okay, let's go out and see the deployment situation around you. When will the magic disaster break out? We are the only insiders here, so we can't relax our vigilance."

Walking in the village, you can always feel the thriving feeling. Although it is November now, both people in the territory, plants and animals in the territory are very tenacious.

Plants are working hard to survive this cold time. Even if the future wind and snow will crush their waists, break their branches and leaves, and pat them completely, they will continue their vitality. In the spring of the next year, they will bloom again to show their tender green branches and buds.

People in the territory are tenaciously competing with their destiny. These people are from poor families or middle-aged people who do not want to live such wandering days. They try to make their current home better and warmer through their own efforts.

These people would not know that a great disaster is about to come around them. This magic disaster that has been hidden by politicians in history has absolute destructive power. Perhaps, today they are still sitting happily together at the family, and at the moment when the magic disaster comes, this warm home is about to die.

Because of the investment of a lot of money, this small village was well built, especially the external defense facilities, which were very strong. Perhaps, even people with a baron's status, if their castles were not repaired, they might not be as solid as here after years.

Romon took Lulun to stand at the wall and looked down. The height of the high wall was comparable to that of the city wall, and the thickness was much inferior to that of the nearby towns.

The older Mr. Lu Lun became more and more satisfied as he looked at it, and nodded repeatedly: "Sir, I have to say that it was really a wise decision to order such a wall to be built."

"Yes, I think so now." Romon looked outside and looked at the field. In the near future, he was afraid that he would never be able to grow crops there again. I don't know how many monsters would appear there.

I looked up at the sky. The sky was blue and white clouds floated by. I wonder if I would still be in the near future. I am afraid that even the sky will reflect the blood light on the ground.

"I'm afraid that this decision is really the smartest decision I have ever made sometimes."

As he was speaking, suddenly, a large dark cloud pressed up from the west, instantly swallowing the white clouds and assimilating them. At this moment, the sunlight was covered by the dark clouds.

"It's going to change." Romon said in a pun.

Then, turn around and go down.

The scholar Lulun, who was standing behind him, looked at Romon's somewhat lonely back, as if it was the first time he had known him. He was stunned for a moment, and then followed.

Not long after I came back, it snowed outside, which also means that autumn has really passed and winter has arrived.

This was the first snow in winter. Romon stood at the window and looked out. The snowflakes quickly covered the ground with a layer of white, and there was a vast white everywhere. His heart still couldn't calm down when he looked at the snow. This was because he had been insomnia for three consecutive days. Since he knew the changes in food and weapons on the market, he had already had a premonition that the magic disaster had been getting closer and closer step by step.

"Sir, I have your letter." At this time, a knock on the door sounded outside the door, and at the same time, someone said softly.

"Come in." Romon said, turning around.

"Yes." The door was gently pushed open, and a male servant walked in with a letter. "Sir, this is a letter to you."

"Okay, I get it, you go down." Romon took the letter and said.

"Yes." The male servant stepped back gently, and while leaving the room, he closed the door again.

Romon sat at the table next to the window and looked at the letter's skin first. It didn't say who the sender was, it only said that Romon received it.

Romon gently tore a hole in the skin of the letter, and then pulled out the flesh of the letter.

The letter paper was light green and had a faint smell of grass on it. Before Romon could read the content, he smiled. He thought, he knew who sent him a letter.

Expand and read the signature of the letter first. Sure enough, Avesie.

The letter was not much. It roughly said that she was studying in a distant place. Through a friend in the city, she learned about the abnormal situation in this area recently. Therefore, she specially reminded him to pay close attention to the gap and strengthen the defense measures of the territory.

The handwriting is very beautiful, with a cold and indifferent taste. Sure enough, his handwriting is like a human being.

Recalling the things that I had lived, studied, and explored with Avesy, Romon couldn't help but pull up the corners of his mouth.

"Thank you, Miss Avesie." He locked the letter into the drawer, then stood back to the window and said softly to the distance.

The other party did not leave him an address, so he could not reply to the other party. Moreover, in the current situation, even if he replied to the letter, he might not be able to be delivered to the other party smoothly. If he caused trouble for the other party, it would be bad. So, Romon could only say thank you softly to the distance.

The sky outside was gray, just like his future, and there was no bright sunshine. From the beginning of coming to this world, Romon was actually quite smooth sailing. Even if he encountered some setbacks, he eventually became a stepping stone for him to climb upwards. So, some time ago, he was really proud and a little lost. The arrival of this magic disaster gave him a wake-up call.

Romon is not strong enough, and his strength is not enough to make him proud, so he must remove the glitz and return to the path of serious cultivation.

Before the window, I reached out my hand, and in just a moment, there were green spots of light, turning into light green mist, coming towards him, as if seeking warmth.

The green mist was eventually absorbed by his body, turned into force, and entered his body.

I don’t know why, but the speed of cultivation is more than 30% faster than before. If you continue to practice at this speed, maybe you can really break through the level 4 boundary and reach the level 5 druid before the magic disaster comes.

If that could really happen, his chances of survival in future magic disasters would be greatly increased.

Just as he thought so, Romon suddenly opened his eyes.
