The 'Secret Eye' is an invisible eye floating in mid-air. The scene it sees will be transmitted to the wizard. Fabbro releases it and goes deep into the core of the 'Evil Settlement' to spy on the situation within a certain distance.
..
The other person who came with Fabbro was wearing a dusty armor, with hair like tangled grass, and a rough face. He listened silently to the words of the 'chief alchemist', nodding from time to time, seemingly casually, but in fact he was observing his surroundings vigilantly.
The ‘Chief Alchemist’ left and came back, only half a month passed. In this period of time, the main structure of Harmony Village has been basically completed, and it finally looks like a new village.
The tavern in the village is the liveliest place. But there are many other functional buildings on the wide streets.
The most conspicuous ones are the medical clinics established by the "disease priests" such as Old Borg. There are too few places that can provide medical services these days. Even the rich and powerful in big cities often suffer from a small typhoid fever.
He suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, and died in pain.
As for the poor..., infant and child mortality rates are horribly high, and women are suffering from illnesses. Even men with a slightly higher status can easily die from accidental illness, and those who live past the age of thirty are considered to have a long life.
The emergence of a medical clinic is the biggest benefit of Harmony Village, and is more valuable than providing some food, drink and accommodation. Zhou Qingfeng has been committed to selling medicines to external parties. The medicines he sells have miraculous effects and have become a well-known brand far and wide.
Sulfur soap for treating skin diseases.
‘Intestinal Chongqing’ to treat gastrointestinal parasites.
Oxytetracycline to treat common inflammation.
Berberine and montmorillonite powder for treating diarrhea.
There are also universal medicines such as analgesics. Taking one pill can cure a headache and brain fever for half a day, which at least gives a person a buffer. A high-level priest cannot prepare a few magical healing spells in a day. In comparison, taking medicine can at least significantly cure ordinary illnesses.
ease.
The medical center was overcrowded by a large number of adventurers on the day it opened. The 'Disease Priests' were extremely busy, and all the medicines provided in the museum were sold out in half a day. This greatly relieved Zhou Qingfeng's worries.
Financial pressure has led to the withdrawal of a large amount of currency.
In the following days, people in the village were able to obtain medical services at lower prices, which solved many people's pain problems. This alone was enough to be boasted and filled the Harmony Village with the light of hope.
Distortion and disorder are the norm in otherworldly societies, where good and bad are mixed together. Believers of the 'Mother of Plagues' are like street rats in other places, being ruthlessly expelled, imprisoned and even burned to death. They have no idea that they are in harmony.
The village can receive such courtesy.
The only thing that made Uncle Zhou unhappy was that when these guys were moved, they turned around and prayed to the 'Mother of Epidemics', expressing their joy and attributing all changes to the power of the gods. As for Mr. Hugo, who accepted them
At most, it should be placed in second place.
"I secretly investigated in the Black Forest for a period of time. Victor Hugo used extremely high-pressure methods to seize control of all human settlements. The local indigenous people were forced to submit to his rule due to his power." Fabbro continued.
explanation.
The man in gray armor asked in a low voice: "Do you need me to contact some people who dare to resist Victor Hugo? Even one or two are good. A guide who is familiar with the local area can provide a lot of convenience."
Fabbro shook his head slightly, "This is where Victor Hugo is so powerful. Although he is not very powerful, he can control hundreds of foreign adventurers with varying strengths. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed by him. That's it.
Even one of my apprentices was bewitched by him."
Hearing this, the gray-armored man was also startled. He only looked at the size of the village, its population, and its commercial vitality, and assessed that the enemy's power was at a very strong level and would be difficult to deal with.
The 'Secret Eye' circled around the village, giving the gray-armored man a rough feel of the atmosphere of the evil lair. When it flew past the 'Old Bones' tavern, the gray-armored man suddenly expressed that he wanted to look outside the tavern.
's notice board.
"Powell, what do you want to see?" Fabbro also stared at it for a few times.
Both of them were outside the village. The gray-armored man pointed at the notice board that his 'secret eye' could see. There were a few lines of words written in charcoal on it, "This village is recruiting adventurers. I can try to sneak in. There should be some."
More to discover.”
Fabbro nodded, "This is exactly what I want you to do. I am about to go deep into the Black Forest again to find the ruins of Silverleaf City, and I have no time to take care of this village. So I need someone to do something for me.
Is it our responsibility to eradicate Victor Hugo? I am interested in this village, so I must understand how it works? Victor Hugo rules such a large village without any chaos. He must have
secret.
If we act rashly, we won't be able to make any money even if we rob this village, so it's necessary to have a deeper understanding. The village is recruiting people, so this is the best opportunity to learn about this place."
The gray-armored man finally knew what his mission was, and he had to admit that Fabbro's words made sense. Joining the village was more troublesome than casually sneaking in to spy, but the effect was better.
Not all adventurers in the North are rich. There are also many who are not very good, live in a very poor life, and are in poverty. These people usually can only sneak around, run lawless, become bandits and thieves, or block the way.
.
Harmony Village is open to foreigners, and the flow of people has suddenly increased, making it impossible to screen outsiders one by one. The village quickly became a smoky and chaotic place.
Zhou Qingfeng was ruthless in order to maintain internal order. From time to time, he would kill a few unruly guys as a warning to others. But forcibly suppressing them would not solve the problem. Recruiting some adventurers for his own use was the right way.
Only by solving the employment problem can society be stable. This is a summary of the experience of the Turkish Communist Party in its decades of development. If you don’t learn, you will not learn. But it also gives outsiders the opportunity to sneak in.
The man in gray armor pointed to the recruitment notice on the notice board and whispered: "It says that the village needs blacksmiths, carpenters, and masons. Well..., there are also lumberyards and iron mines.
I can work as a blacksmith. This is a respected profession. I should be able to get in touch with more people in this village and understand what they want to do."
The man in gray armor pointed to the next column of the recruitment notice, "We are also recruiting people here to clear the woods around the village and hunt down goblins and jackals near the road. There are even jobs as shoemakers and cobblers. The ruler here
So ambitious.”
Fabbro nodded, "I have been here before, and Victor Hugo probably knows my identity. Victor Hugo's ambition has also aroused my vigilance. This is exactly why I need you."
The man in gray armor knew that it was time for him to appear. He and Fabbro agreed on a contact method and watched each other leave. He entered the village as a foreign adventurer, followed the prompts on the notice board and walked into the tavern to find the recruitment office in charge of human resources.
In the corner of the tavern, there is a big cover hanging on a table. There are two conspicuous letters 'HR' painted on the cover. Rubio, the old profiteer, is sitting listlessly behind the table, watching the adventurers in the tavern drinking and bragging. He is bored to the point of trembling.
Yawn.
The man in gray armor stepped forward and asked, "I heard that you are recruiting blacksmiths here?"
"Yes." The old profiteer had a sharp eye and noticed that the man in front of him was quite powerful but deliberately looked like he was awake. He looked at the man in front of him and said, "We implement performance pay and provide different benefits based on work ability."
"My name is Powell." The man in gray armor said he wanted to get a job as a blacksmith without paying much attention to the salary. He had been to many places in the North, and applying for a job as a blacksmith had always been a very simple matter.
The old profiteer took out an identity card, wrote his name and position on it and handed it over. He also specifically told the other party, 'Don't lose the identity card, otherwise you will be punished.'
But Powell didn't take the old profiteer's warning seriously. In his opinion, the old guy with a rat's beard and a wretched face might be a small foreman, or a relative of a leader in the village who was sent to guard the mess.
.
According to the usual understanding, there are not a few such dim-witted untouchables. Most of them are straw bags, living a mediocre life, and they can be found in every corner of every village and city.
After receiving the identity card, Powell followed the prompts and went to the village's forge to take up a job. He knew very well that an excellent blacksmith was highly valued in any place. As long as he showed some skills, he should be appreciated and learn more.
information.
Fabbro was an alchemist with the unique arrogance of a wizard. He felt that all non-spellcasters in the world were barbarians. He took a fancy to this village and wanted to get it, so the Coldwind City spy named Powell was ordered to come.
But a fleeting peek outside the village is obviously not enough to get a deep understanding of Harmony Village. The moment Powell stepped into the village entrance, it was destined to be a quite wonderful adventure.
