Three days later, the continuous clear sky caused the temperature in Houlier City to rise a little. For ordinary people, this winter is not as difficult as they imagined. In previous years, once a war broke out, food prices would often skyrocket. However, this year the war for the unification of the kingdom was fought too quickly, and there was no large-scale conscription in the Efta Territory. , coupled with changes in farming methods and the popularization of fertilizers, when the weather is good, you can even see a market opening in the city, and many citizens and even nearby farmers come to buy and sell goods. A hunter with his hands curled up in his sleeves wiped his nose and continued to sell the furs of the rabbits he had hunted. Some of them had already been exchanged for bacon and bread that could be stored. At this time, he lowered his head and stuffed the bacon into his pocket. Alright, I was hearing a few comments, probably saying "there is going to be another war"... He seemed to be very sensitive to the word "war". Where are we going to fight?" "Didn't you read the newspaper? It's not the Karen Kingdom fighting, but our troops going out to fight!" "Huh? Go out? Fight orcs or undead?" "On the other side of the sea is Lashi who visited last time Man is wrong, it is not Laximan, it is Laximan who was beaten, I hope we can help them fight, as reinforcements!" These words made the hunter blink, and it took him a long time to react. The two people who were talking seemed to have nothing to do, so they stopped and gave him a brief talk. But after listening to this, the hunter became even more confused: "Repay debts through war? So it can still be like this?" "Your Excellency, there are more ways." The citizen had just finished speaking, and a huge shadow crossed where they were. The three of them looked up at the same time, and saw the astonishing black dragon hovering and landing, and finally turned into a ray of light, entering the magic tower in the center of the city. The two people who were talking were used to it, and turned their heads to continue talking to the Orion, but found that the Orion had already hided under a stone wall next to him, his face was pale. "Haha, did you just come here? In Hollier City, giant dragons fly around almost every day. The only thing you have to worry about is not to be hit on the head by the stone blown up by the airflow." This tone With indescribable superiority, the hunter still clenched his clothes with both hands, and stood up tremblingly for a long time. "By the way, this isn't a rabbit, is it, Snow Fox?" "Hmm... good luck, I caught one, do you want to buy it?" Why don’t you try to go to the army? If I didn’t pass the test, I would definitely be in the army now!” “Soldier? Take care of food?” “Of course I can take care of food! It's very warm in winter..." The person next to him said: "However, how many people in the army are fighting to go, and many are screened out. In fact, there are other places to make money. Have you seen those factories along the river outside the city? It's time to recruit workers. The daily salary is definitely more than you can earn from hunting..." These two people talked a lot, but in fact, it was to show off their superiority in front of outsiders. But the hunter obviously had a complicated expression, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After the hunter left the city and returned to the forest four or five kilometers away, he got into a hidden cave under a low slope, hid the dried food in exchange for fur in a wooden box, and then curled up, looking at the Staring at his saber with family articles in it, he was in a daze. His name is Delta Williams, and he is a knight who fled from the southern part of the kingdom. The family's wives, daughters and servants had already died in the wave of orc attacks. Before he could go back, the war of unification had swept and flattened the entire kingdom. Williams did not return home, but was dragged by the earl he followed to join the "Rebel Army". He used to feel that he was honored for resisting tyranny, and took the initiative to take the position of "scout". Here, he is considered the forefront of the "rebel army", and his main task is to observe the enemy's base camp. But today, the first time he had the courage to enter the city, he received an unforgettable shock. After witnessing the situation here with his own eyes, the Delta Knights realized...the group of nobles who talked about the mountain sound had no basis for rebellion at all. come all the way,

There are no refugees fleeing famine in ragged clothes in previous winters near Houlier City. Whether it is building roads or railways, or just digging foundations or leveling land for opening new factories, job opportunities are everywhere. As long as you are willing to work, you can You can have food, and you don’t have to worry about dying of hunger and cold anymore... When the people at the bottom can eat enough, and even have spare money to go to brothels, who will follow in a coup against Roddy? Without ordinary people as cannon fodder, what kind of waves can a group of nobles like bereaved dogs make? Besides, even if someone is willing to rebel with him, how can a group of farmers fight against a regime that is friendly with the Dragon Clan? He didn't think his life was too long. After crawling out of the cave, Delta headed directly towards the nearby river. Not long after, he successfully became a worker on a construction site, and because he could read and do simple arithmetic, he was assigned Study under an Overseer. He was told that as long as he was willing to sign a long-term contract, he would get free food and housing and six silver coins a week. Without further ado, Delta immediately nodded in agreement, rubbed his hands together and went to the construction site. "My lord, what are we going to do?" "You don't understand, let's start with the basics." The supervisor waved his hand: "We are only responsible for the construction of the site, and the rest are the people from the research department." Things to consider." "Okay..." As a nobleman, Delta doesn't want to talk about glory at this time, he only knows that the power of the nobles in the kingdom has been rapidly weakened and stripped away, so he can go back... Forget it, with the current situation With this condition, he would definitely die halfway. Therefore, compared with the delicious hot soup, let's put the knight's honor aside. But Delta didn't know that at this time in the magic tower, Rody was pointing at the construction site where he was, discussing the planning plan with the researchers beside him. "There is still a long way to go in the smelting of steel, and you are responsible for studying the properties of metals under different ratios and processes in this area, as well as the development and use of hydraulic forging mechanisms..." He has been saying this all morning , when these researchers led away, Rody finally had time to drink his saliva. But before he finished drinking, Lord Pucastor walked in, and he directly put a magic crystal-like stone in front of Rody: "I just sent the ore that meets your needs to the furnace over there. It’s a map of the mineral veins of the Karen Kingdom, and you can get it yourself if you need it.” “Thank you very much, Lord Pucastor…” Rody made a gesture, and the latter waved his hand: “Actually, the mineral veins in the kingdom are not rich. , There are gold mines, but they are too deep, I suggest that if you want gold, you should go to Laximan to look for it."
