Twilight took a sip and narrowed her eyes as she smiled.
The other children also nodded vigorously, but they were very sensible. They just tasted it, then closed the lid and prepared to take it back to their parents.
"Eat it all, I have a lot more."
Downton felt very sad when he saw it. Not only Twilight, but also other children had already developed the good habit of not wasting anything in this world of scarcity.
Even after drinking water, they will lick their lips several times.
Downton pulled out his dagger and pierced a box of lunch meat, then cut open the lid, and the sweet smell of the meat immediately filled the air.
The sound of saliva and swallowing arose everywhere.
"Here, take it!"
Downton distributed cans to the children. Seeing Montgomery hesitate to speak, he guessed his thoughts, "You don't have to worry about running out of supplies, and you don't have to divide them according to contribution or injury number. They are all available. You can eat them today."
To a delicious dinner.”
"You are so angry. Because of the leadership, there are more than 3,000 people in our gathering place. Can you feed them enough?"
Some young people were worried about the leader's safety and had been hiding around. After hearing Downton's arrogant words, they couldn't sit still.
Of course, there are some people who don't like Downton. Why can he wear neat clothes and eat delicious food? Especially those young people who were born in the jihad and have never seen normal life. It is simply the first time they have discovered that...
When I can live like Downton, the imbalance in my heart emerges.
"Shut up and apologize!"
Montgomery roared.
"sorry!"
A group of young people immediately lowered their heads. In the gathering place, this leader had great majesty. If it weren't for him, this place would have been finished long ago.
"Forget it, I understand how they feel."
Downton didn't care.
"Get out of here, and then notify the whole city to come get the things."
Montgomery is not the kind of man who likes to be admired by others. He wants everyone in the gathering place to know that it was Downton who brought the food.
Soon, there was a long queue here.
"I heard that food is going to be distributed?"
"What's going on? Tree roots? Maggots and earthworms can hardly dig them down."
"What is the leader going to do? Break the pot and smash it? Shouldn't the last food be left for the death squads?"
People were talking a lot. Some of them looked forward to having enough food, while others were worried about the future of the gathering place. Others were completely indifferent and just waiting to die.
Children have the privilege of enjoying their delicious food in advance. When the strong aroma of ham comes out, stomachs rumble everywhere.
Seeing the children running happily with smiles, all doubts disappeared.
"Thank you, Mr. Leon!"
Even though Downton repeatedly refused, everyone who received the food still bowed respectfully and thanked them, and some even knelt down.
Even though he was a wild paladin, Downton still knew how to preach and inspire people's hope of living, so he put on a silver armor, took on the sword Oak Leaf Knight Medal, and stood with a golden halo.
At the end of the team, start healing and blessing everyone.
"The goddess of flame will protect you!"
Downton's hands are filled with holy light, dispelling curses and healing the injuries of the devout believers in front of him.
"Don't be messy, don't be in a hurry, line up, there is a line for everyone, the elderly and children line up at the front, then women, and young and strong men line up here."
Karma stood on several boxes and shouted loudly.
"What is this? How to eat it?"
A woman stood in front of a big box, looking at the neatly stacked cans, a little dumbfounded.
"Canned meat can be eaten by opening the lid. However, it cannot be stored for a long time once the lid is opened." The soldier in charge of the effort repeated what he had said many times, "Next."
"Is this also a can?"
Looking at the transparent glass bottle, the woman marveled. There was juice in it and all kinds of beautiful fruit pulp.
"Well, canned fruit. Strawberry, pineapple, dragon fruit, which one do you want?"
The soldier reminded, "You don't have to ask me which one is delicious, I don't know either."
"Then dragon fruit."
The woman felt that this fruit with the word "fire dragon" must be the most precious.
In fact, people almost unanimously choose this canned food.
"I know this, it's ham. I haven't had it since the start of the jihad."
Holding two cans in her arms, the woman walked to the third collection point and looked at the ham with a look of reminiscence, her eyes a little moist.
"Get it!"
At the next collection point, a large backpack was stuffed into the woman's arms. If it weren't for the inconvenience of holding things, she would have wanted to open it and take a look, "What is this?"
"Don't open it, go to the next place quickly. This is a military backpack. There is a blanket, a towel, and first aid medicine for one person..."
The soldier introduced loudly.
Next, the woman received a black iron military kettle, a dagger, and a shovel...
There are more than a dozen kinds of things. After visiting all the collection points, everyone is like a moving hamster, full of things.
"I must be dreaming!"
More than one person said this, and more than one person secretly pinched his thigh.
"This kettle has a cannon pattern on it, isn't it produced by Krupp Military Industries?"
"Who is Mr. Leon?"
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and get some water."
After getting the kettle, you can also go to the end of the queue to get fresh water.
There is a large iron bucket that is ten meters high. When you unscrew the lifelike elk-like deer throat made of bronze, a stream of clear water will flow down.
The women moved cautiously, fearing that even a drop would be spilled.
In a land where the power of blasphemy radiates wantonly, there is no clear water except for the springs buried deep in the depths. It can be said that with every sip of water they drink, they are one step closer to death.
Wow!
A child suddenly started crying, which also broke the happy atmosphere that was gradually created. Everyone's eyes moved over, and it turned out that a woman had snatched his ham.
"Don't eat any more."
The woman was very embarrassed, her face turned red, but she still insisted, "Be good, save it for the next meal."
"But mom, I'm hungry!"
The child glanced at the ham in an aggrieved manner, and finally nodded.
"So good!"
The woman hugged her son.
"Sister, the food the children eat is no longer rationed, they can eat whatever they want."
Downton quickly tried to persuade him and ordered his helpers to send a few over.
"Why is this so embarrassing?"
The woman was helpless and even more ashamed.
Downton smiled and continued the treatment.
In a corner, the senior officials of the gathering place watched all this silently.
"Who is he?"
"This is supplies for more than 3,000 people, and from the looks of it, it seems that there are still reserves. There is no pressure at all."
"Silence and put away any thoughts you shouldn't have."
"That's unfair, chief. I never thought of robbing him."
The senior executives lamented that Leon's worth was too terrifying. Not to mention these supplies, just to preserve the perishable fruits would require top-quality space equipment and consume a lot of magic diamonds.
In an era when supplies were so scarce, this kind of behavior was simply a luxury.
"Haha, robbery? He is currently using magical magic continuously and has treated more than a thousand people. Not to mention tired, he didn't even shed a drop of sweat. If you go up, I guarantee that he will kill you with one punch."
Some people at the top were very calm and did not get carried away by these supplies.
"Sir Leon, has the Flame Goddess abandoned us? Has the Empire abandoned us?"
After receiving treatment, a female believer knelt in front of Downton. She cried silently. She had endured too much suffering for so many years.
Seeing this scene, many people knelt down. To be honest, many people could hardly hold on anymore.
"The goddess has been watching you, and the empire has not given up on you. Queen Sissi will definitely fight back and defeat the evil god."
Downton comforted and spread the holy light.
The sacred elemental angels condensed out. They sang hymns that soothed the mind and body, flashed their white wings, and flew across the sky.
The children exclaimed in amazement, as if they had seen a miracle, and chased after the angel.
The senior officials were shocked. Today, when the magic energy is exhausted and the elements are declining, it is possible to condense an elemental angel. How terrifying is this strength?
"Chief, this guy might be even more powerful than you!"
Some people speculate that as for the senior executive who just wanted to ask Downton to 'donate' some more supplies, he never mentioned this matter.
"He is definitely better than me."
Montgomery looked at Downton with burning eyes, "If he is here, we can definitely reach the Ark of Flame!"
"Stop talking about this, what should we do with those supplies? Are they wasted like this? If we collect them, they can last at least one or two years."
Some pragmatic senior officials thought it was a waste and asked, "Should we confiscate it?"
"Forget it, everyone has suffered too much."
Montgomery refused.
Although it had been less than a day since he arrived at the gathering place, Downton's holy light and generous supplies instantly won the favor of almost everyone.
Especially the children, they think this is the most dreamy day in their lives, the goddess of light? They have never seen it, but today they saw a male god. When Downton put the holy light on his body, all the pain disappeared.
.
At this moment, they felt that Downton was a god.
Downton didn't like the excitement, so Montgomery drove the senior officials away with a wink, leaving only his family to accompany the guests.
"This is the first time in so many years that the gathering place is filled with laughter."
Montgomery sighed.
"Sister-in-law, would you like some wine? Don't worry, the alcohol content is very low. This is brewed by elves and is good for the soul."
Downton took out a bottle of fine wine, smiled and stopped Twilight, who looked full of longing, "Children can't drink it!"
"Big brother is good or bad."
Little Twilight pouted, pretending to be angry. In fact, he was very sensible. Even though she was hungry and the guests didn't move, she just stared at the food and drooled.
"Let's eat."
Downton joked, "Even if you don't let me see their miserable appearance, I will still stay."
"real?"
Montgomery didn't know how to speak. He cried with joy when he heard this, "Haha, I knew you wouldn't abandon us, let's eat."
Little Twilight was very well-behaved and didn't pick anything randomly. Like her mother, she only ate maggots and grass roots. Downton frowned as he watched. (To be continued.)
