Chapter 87 The Collector

Sean is not planning to sell raw materials. That kind of business is too low-end. His real pursuit is to package and sell finished products. It depends on his mother's support to make high-end products.

Even though the value of spicy fruit powder has increased several times in Sean's mind, he still has no intention of intervening, but is more determined to support Ms. Elena's research. After all, she has been treating Angie Beina's illness for more than ten years.

, have a better understanding of her condition and have more direction in researching it.

Since then, Sean has had two more diners.

As soon as it was time to eat, he showed up at his medical clinic on time. Fortunately, he had the foresight to open a restaurant, otherwise just cooking would take up a lot of his time. Angie Beina's appetite was manageable, and with the spell

When the strength enters the active stage, the amount of exercise can be relaxed, and the food intake increases, but it is relatively limited, at most it is the food of an adult man.

But Alveria, the captain of the guard, is different. Despite her tall and slender appearance, she is actually a serious knight, and a very senior one. Her training is so abnormal that even Sean can't help but sigh.

For example, the appetite is naturally quite scary.

It took her half an hour to swallow a one-year-old short-tailed yellow sheep, including meat and soup, into her belly that was not bulging at all, and she maintained an elegant eating posture throughout the process.

What makes Sean criticize the most is that they don't pay for meals, and the restaurant's current profit can barely support the three of them to eat and drink.

The benefits of having Anji Beina eat and drink here are obvious. Ruffians like Porter Lang before, let alone making trouble at the door, are nowhere to be seen even in the two streets around.

Even though Angibena's mother was an Andis slave girl and the most disliked member of the Phelan family, that was only within the Phelan family. As for the distressed princesses and street beggars in the novel,

Scenarios where everyone can be humiliated at will will never happen.

A princess is a princess. Unless her family is in ruins, she will be a princess wherever she goes. The next worst outcome for daring to tease and humiliate her face to face is to be beheaded on the spot by the captain of the guard, Alveria. It is more likely to bring disaster to herself.

Because the princess represents the entire family when she goes out, her surname must not be blasphemed or tarnished in any way.

The second benefit of Angie Beina's arrival is that it gives those arrogant Manyu people a step down. Look at the sick princess of the Feren family hanging around there all day long. Either she has a share in that industry, or she is there.

The doctors are truly talented and knowledgeable. No matter what the reason is, they can come here to eat and seek medical treatment with peace of mind.

Anjibeina attracted not only ordinary people, but also nobles and nobles who had not even looked at medical clinics and restaurants in the past, especially those young and energetic young men, all of whom were dressed up and dressed up.

Like a little rooster courting a mate, trying to show its most handsome and dashing side,

The purpose is self-evident, naturally it is to attract Angie Beina's attention. It doesn't matter whether they do it because of Angie Beina's beauty or the inheritance rights of the Feren family.

Now, more than one duel is staged in front of Sean's medical clinic every day. The difference from previous duels is that this time they not only have to win, but they also have to win while being injured, so that they can not only enjoy the glory of victory, but also win while being injured.

You can also enjoy the loving bandage of Angie Beina in the medical clinic.

That's right, Angie Beina not only eats and drinks here with Sean, she also spends most of her time here and works as an apprentice for Sean. She has an extraordinary interest in medical skills.

Sean understands this very well, because he has also had the same experience. People who have been on the edge of life and death will become afraid of death and become interested in medical skills. Such examples are not uncommon.

Sean is like this, Angie Beina is like this, Charles who was willing to sacrifice his life to study the epidemic is also like this. After recovering from the illness, the great knight Ajer and others also chose to devote themselves to medicine even though they were a little helpless.

Angie Beina not only has good medical talent, but her water attribute magic power is naturally more suitable for medical treatment than Sean's fire attribute.

Sean's magic power is more violent. If it enters other people's bodies, it will cause harm if you are not careful.

Angie Beina's is different. As long as you control the intensity, it will have a nourishing effect like water. It not only promotes wound healing, but also has a warm and cool feeling, which is completely opposite to Sean's burning sensation.

Now in the medical clinic, Angie Beina's popularity is far higher than that of Sean. This makes Sean couldn't help but sigh. No matter where he goes, the essence of the age of face reading will not change. Although his magic power is not very comfortable,

But in terms of bone setting, she is eight steps ahead of Angie Beina.

He has practiced countless times, and his strength control is not comparable to that of Angie Beina. However, those patients would rather suffer more than to take the initiative to find Angie Beina and let her practice with him. Sean was helpless.

Sean was not polite at all to those aristocratic young men, and the fees were very high. It would be useless to kill such a fat pig if you don't want to kill it.



Forgotten Alley.

Just like its name, it is an existence that Solo City strives to forget. It is located in the most remote and worst location in the city. All sewage will gather from here, and then merge into the Jacob River, which is on the verge of drying up dozens of miles away.

.

This place exudes a strange smell that cannot be described in words all the time. People who come here for the first time will always have the illusion of suffocation. However, what really makes people fear this place and stay away is because of the people who live here.

That group of people have a common profession - corpse collectors.

In any large city of any size, body collector is an indispensable profession, because no one wants to touch those who die on the streets for unknown reasons.

Who knows whether they froze to death, starved to death, or died of illness.

If it's the latter, wouldn't touching their bodies be asking for death?

Diseases can be transmitted through contact, something anyone who is not a fool knows.

Although the Holy See of Saint Ether will take the initiative to collect the bodies of some homeless people out of faith and humanitarianism, they will give priority to those who believe in the Holy See. For ordinary people, it will only involve a few streets around the church, and further away from the Holy See

Nothing can be done.

On the one hand, the manpower is limited, and the local nobles don't like them stretching their hands too far. It is natural that corpse collectors come into being.

The scale of corpse collectors in Solo City is obviously larger than that in ordinary cities, because the prosperity of the gladiator and slave trading industries will create more corpses that are not collected. In order to save trouble, those slave owners usually spend a little reward.

, hiring corpse collectors to collect corpses is a common practice.

There are two main sources of corpse collectors.

One type is those who engage in this profession voluntarily. This type of person usually has no skills. He is a childless widower who collects corpses to collect wealth from corpses and earns a meager subsidy from the city hall to maintain his livelihood. When such people are really scarce,

The city hall will designate some prisoners to perform corresponding jobs in exchange for reduced punishment.

No matter which city they live in, corpse collectors are the poorest and most impoverished. If they were not impoverished, they would not engage in this dangerous profession.

It's nonsense to make a lot of money from dead people. If you die homeless on the street and wait for them to collect the body, how much profit can you make from it?

The burial money is a beautiful lie. When a person is about to starve to death, he can do all kinds of crazy things, so how can he keep money on himself and not spend it?

The only people who have some luck are those wealthy businessmen who have died in a foreign land, but this involves taking huge risks. Such people usually die of epidemics.

Some body collectors have become rich suddenly, but they have no life to enjoy the money. Most of the time, they are not even able to grab this opportunity. When faced with the temptation of great wealth, many poor people will choose to take risks.

As for the financial subsidies from the city hall, after layers of exploitation, they fell into their hands. It would be good if they could keep them half full. In a disaster year, the city hall would simply forget about their existence.

Corpse collectors usually don't live long in this profession. It is rare to be able to work for ten years.

Old John is definitely an ancestor in this industry. He has been working as a corpse collector for nearly twenty years.

From a middle-aged man with a hunchback and lameness, he turned into an old man with gray hair, an even more hunchback and a lameness. He is nearly seventy years old, not to mention among the corpse collectors, even among ordinary people, he is considered to have a long life.

In recent years, his physical strength has declined significantly. Old John rarely goes out to collect corpses in person. His livelihood comes from the help of other corpse collectors. After all, if you count carefully, more than half of the corpse collectors in the Forgotten Alley are his disciples and grandsons.

Old John used to be a kind and generous person. He would always lend a helping hand to anyone who had difficulties, and he never kept secrets about his craftsmanship.

I don’t know since when, Old John has become the leader of the corpse collector industry, and anyone is willing to come to him for advice on anything.

In the past, others took the initiative to find Old John, but it was rare for Old John to take the initiative to call someone, especially when calling a group of people.

The industry of body collectors is big or small. Even if they are not familiar with it, most of them can talk a few words and whisper to each other for a while. No one knows what kind of medicine Old John is selling in the gourd tonight. Many people are...

Called here temporarily.

The house where old John lives can be considered an old house, the layout is not large, and the atmosphere is full of simplicity and decay.

The only thing that is commendable is that his house is tidy and clean. The smell in the air is the special smell of Forgotten Lane itself, and there is no other peculiar smell inside the house.

Although Old John was a widower, he was famous for his love of tidiness. No matter how poor his family was, the house was always kept spotless. No matter how many patches he wore, his clothes were always starched and washed.

Many nobles are not as particular as she is in this aspect. Because of this habit, he has often attracted ridicule and ridicule. A corpse collector who is as lowly as a slave can behave like a lord and noble.

It's just that Old John goes his own way, and after so many years, everyone has long been used to it.

These body collectors did not realize that they were willing to make do with old John's home because it was clean and comfortable enough, and they felt more comfortable than in their own messy and smelly home.
