Arriving at Harmony Village, Mr. Fabbro, the chief alchemist of Cold Wind City, also breathed a sigh of relief. The service treatment of the exclusive version was indeed satisfactory. He plunged into the guest room provided by the 'Old Bones' tavern and summoned a magical beast to alert him.
Then he fell asleep.
Although people who play arcane magic have good brains, few have good physiques. Fabbro focuses on alchemy and has been exposed to various toxic and harmful materials for a long time, making his body very weak. For normal actions, he must rely on arcane magic.
and pharmaceutical support.
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.
Fabbro is neither the evocation or conjuration system that is good at attacking, nor the prophecy system that is good at avoiding danger. The protection system that emphasizes tolerance of the environment and the release of alarms is opposite to him. He is an alchemist, good at creation, to put it bluntly
Just a researcher.
Wilderness adventures were a hell for Fabbro.
After sleeping for a day and a night, Fabbro woke up from his dream. After getting up for a while, he wanted to understand 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 was exchanged 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 in a big wooden bucket.
The 'tavern butler' strongly recommended the sauna that had just been built in the tavern. But Fabro heard that it was a group of grown men who stripped naked and crowded together, and immediately refused this unsuitable enjoyment. He also asked for a maid.
Come and help yourself bathe.
Breakfast consisted of bacon and oatmeal, and a dish of alfalfa boiled in salt water.
Fabbro was extremely surprised that he could eat both meat and vegetables in the Black Forest, and it made him feel that the twenty gold coins were not wasted. After all, in the Cold Wind City, the food available to the rich and powerful was mediocre.
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 being in a state of embarrassment, and was able to experience the rare services provided by Harmony Village. He left the room, walked out of the tavern, and called his student Jason as his entourage, intending to take a closer look at this peculiar village.
Jason had just woken up and was also very curious about the village built by Zhou Qingfeng. The two masters and apprentices took to the street and immediately felt many unusual things about Harmony Village.
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: "Jason, you seem to be interested in
What am I hiding?"
Jason 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 thousands of gold coins to renovate the village. This figure even makes me feel...
Shock."
How many thousand? Victor Hugo is really willing to spend money! He probably invested all the money he collected.
Jason was also stunned. He would be very happy if his annual income could be a few hundred gold coins. With a few thousand gold coins, Fabbro's annual income was only that much.
Construction was going on everywhere in the village. The master and the apprentice walked around and felt nothing about the untouchables who were working hard. At most, they were curious about why their work efficiency was so high.
However, there was still one place in the village that attracted Fabro's attention. When he returned to the tavern, he found that the adventurers in the tavern were sneaky, and a group of them ran behind an unfinished house somewhere. He was also curious, so he followed
past.
Under a wooden wall under construction stood a ferocious skeletal war horse, talking eloquently about making deals with the 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 clearly an undead and a half-demon, but the dignified 'Chief Alchemist' could not weaken his majesty. He calmed down and led Jason out, in front of the skeletal horse, staring at the opponent's monster head, and then at the stall in front of him.
.
"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. I'm here to make pocket money without telling the owner. Once discovered, this business will be gone. If you all buy it, I can give you a 20% discount. You have to do it quickly.
"
Looking at the undead and half-demon who could speak human language, Fabbro was stunned for a long time. But Jason cursed in his heart: "Why does this routine look so familiar? 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."
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 just wanted to know what was in these scrolls?
