Arriving at Harmony Village, Mr. Fabro, the chief alchemist of Cold Wind City, also breathed a sigh of relief. He asked for the exclusive service package, then rushed into the guest room provided by the 'Old Bones' tavern, and simply set up a warning ring.
, fell into a deep sleep.
Although people who play arcane magic have good minds, few have good bodies. Fabbro focuses on alchemy and has been exposed to various toxic and harmful materials for a long time, which makes his body very weak.
A month of exploration in the Black Forest made Fabro understand that the biggest enemy he faced was not the vicious monsters, but the harsh environment - it was too difficult for the wizard to keep moving forward in the rugged and dangerous forest.
After sleeping for a whole day and night, Fabbro woke up from his dream. After getting up for a while, he had already figured out his current situation and how to deal with it - wizards need to stay rational at all times and cannot be stupid or reckless.
.
After Fabbro got up, he began to enjoy the exclusive gift package that he had received in exchange for twenty gold coins. Although the guest rooms in the tavern had just been built and the facilities were still crude, the service was still unsatisfactory.
There is a separate toilet and bathroom in the room. As long as you ring the bell, a servant will come to serve you at the door. Hot water is supplied around the clock, and as long as you open your mouth, someone will bring it to you in a big wooden bucket.
The 'tavern butler' also strongly recommended the sauna that had just been built in the tavern. But Fabbro heard that it was a group of grown men who crowded together and immediately refused this kind of enjoyment that was not in line with his status. He incidentally asked for a sauna.
A maid came to help him bathe.
Breakfast consisted of bacon and oatmeal, and a dish of alfalfa boiled in salt water.
Fabbro was extremely surprised to see green alfalfa in the Black Forest. This made him feel that the twenty gold coins were not wasted. After all, in the Cold Wind City, the only vegetables that the rich and powerful could eat were mushrooms.
After eating and drinking, and finishing washing up, the 'Tavern Butler' thoughtfully gave Fabbro a new set of coats. For the 'Chief Alchemist' whose robe was in pieces, it just maintained his dignity, which made him more interested in harmony.
Village was curious.
"A village that provides services in the black forest is very close to the mysterious elven ruins. It's hard for the people who control this place not to make a fortune."
Fabbro had a personal experience of the embarrassment and could experience the rare services provided by Harmony Village. He left the room, walked out of the tavern, and called his student Tambos as his entourage, intending to take a closer look at this peculiar village.
Tempos was very reluctant to do this. After the conspiracy of Bane's church failed, he was supposed to return to Coldwind City and wait for promotion to an official wizard, but he was forcibly dragged by Fabbro to explore the elven ruins and almost lost his life to the goblins.
in the lair.
At this time, the wizard apprentice had just woken up and was pulled out to work as a coolie again. He was extremely angry about this, but there was nothing he could do about it. However, when the master and apprentice took to the streets, they found that the village was very different from what they expected.
It was dark last night and they were extremely tired. Fabbro and his party went to the tavern to sleep and rest. Now it was dawn and they discovered that this village is large in area, has a large population, and is quite busy - more than a thousand people live in it.
This is already a small town in the Northland.
"It's hard to imagine that there is such a lively settlement in the Black Forest." Fabro stood on the planned village street, turned to look at his students, and said with a half-smile: "Tambos, you seem to
What are you hiding from me?"
Tempos shook his head quickly, "Teacher, you misunderstood. I just discovered the changes here. It was not like this before."
"Really?" Fabbro chuckled, obviously not believing it. Right in front of him, a dozen villagers carrying baskets and pushing stone rollers were leveling the road. "The person in charge here is not running a village at all. His
The ambition is not small."
The roads in ordinary villages and towns are muddy, narrow, and full of potholes. They are natural dumping grounds for domestic sewage and human and animal excrement. Walking through them will definitely make your feet full of mud and make you feel disgusting.
But when Zhou Qingfeng planned the roads in Harmony Village, he subconsciously set up two-lane roads in both directions. The road surface was not hardened by cement, but it had to be compacted and smooth, and there must be drainage ditches. He felt that this was the minimum standard, and it couldn't get any worse.
.
"But how much does it cost?" Fabbro snorted, "I asked the servants in the tavern, and they all said that Mr. Hugo, who controlled this place, spent three thousand gold coins to renovate the village. This number even makes me feel...
shock."
Three thousand? Victor Hugo is really willing to spend money!
Tempos was also stunned. He thought that not long ago, a few wizard apprentices scraped together to get 3,500 gold coins to buy the goods Zhou Qingfeng had from the elven ruins. He did not expect that the boy would change hands and spend the money.
Already.
Three thousand gold coins, Fabbro's annual income is only that much.
The 'Chief Alchemist' sneered again, "It is necessary for Coldwind City to pay some attention to this settlement. I will write to the city lord and the Magic Association. After all, this place will be very lively in the next few years."
Tambos's heart became heavy. He had a good relationship with Zhou Qingfeng, and both parties were mutually beneficial. The young man occupying this place could even be his foreign aid. But if Cold Wind City realizes the value of this territory, suppression and even robbery will be inevitable.
of.
Construction was going on everywhere in the village. The master and the apprentice walked around and felt nothing about the untouchables working hard. At most, they wondered why they worked so hard and with such high efficiency.
However, there was still one place in the village that attracted Fabro's attention. When he returned to the tavern to write a letter, he found that the adventurers in the tavern were sneaking behind an unfinished house. He was also curious, so he
Followed.
Under an unfinished wooden wall stood a ferocious skeletal war horse, talking eloquently about making deals with adventurers. There were many scrolls beside the horse, and it chatted with the adventurers for a few words.
One party pays money and takes away a certain scroll.
Fabbro looked at it for a long time but still couldn't figure out what was going on. Until all the adventurers in front of the skeleton war horse were gone, it neighed and shouted, "Hey, the two people behind the wall on the left, come here quickly. Don't hide.
, I’ve seen you all.”
The opponent was obviously an undead and a half-demon, but the dignified 'Chief Alchemist' could not weaken his majesty. He calmed down, led Tambos out, came to the skeleton horse, stared at the opponent's monster head, and then looked at the monster in front of him.
stall.
"What do you want?" The Skeleton War Horse asked proactively: "What I have here is the latest Black Forest Adventure Secrets. I just secretly copied them from my master. They have not been circulated yet, and they are all sold cheaply.
For one gold coin, I will tell you information about the Elf Forge. For two gold coins, you can get a briefing on the monster forces in the Black Forest. For three gold coins, I can give you the entire map of the Silver Leaf City ruins.
If you can give me ten gold coins, I will tell you about a ruin that has not yet been excavated. I will sell at most five copies of the same kind of information, but never more. I will also give you a copy of the Black Forest Guide, or the Abyss Demon Summoning.
manual.
If you want it, hurry up. This is what I did to make pocket money without telling the owner. Once discovered, the business will be gone. If you all buy it, I can give you a 20% discount. Or I can tell you something about the Black Forest.
The big secret.”
Looking at the undead and half-demon who could speak human language, Fabbro was stunned for a long time. But Tambos cursed in his heart: "How come this trick seems to have been encountered before? It must be Victor Hugo again.
.”
The 'Chief Alchemist' hesitated for a long time and reached out to grab a paper roll to inspect the goods.
The skeletal war horse spurted strong negative energy from its nose and snorted in annoyance: "Behave yourself. Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. I am a demon descendant. If you piss me off, I will devour you."
Fabbro's hand stopped as expected, and he weighed it in his mind for a long time. If he were in his prime, he might not be afraid of this undead half-demon, but now that all the casting materials of his scroll staff have been exhausted, facing such a ferocious beast,
There's really no benefit to be gained.
"How much does it cost to buy it all?"
"Fifty gold coins. If you don't need a discount, I will give you a very practical tip for adventure in the Black Forest, which is also the biggest local secret."
Fabbro thought about it for a long time, took out fifty gold coins from his pocket, and got a copy of all the scrolls. He chose not to discount, wanting to know what secrets this skeletal war horse could provide.
Hehehehe... After receiving the money, the skeleton war horse smiled cheerfully, "In the Black Forest, as long as you shout 'Holy Light' in your heart, you can get free online services. You can ask 'Holy Light' anything
Questions can generally be answered.
If you need help, you can also send messages and prompts through the 'Holy Light'. This is really convenient for adventures that may be in crisis at any time.
How about it? Give it a try. The Holy Light is with you!"
