Chapter 587 The Current Situation of the 585 Welfare Home
Chapter 587 585. Current situation of the orphanage
Before leaving, Lu Yu came to the seaside.
Vera welcomed them out with great enthusiasm. Along the way, she excitedly pointed at the shell-shaped houses built with the help of the civil engineering team and admired their creativity.
The Dark Green Sea Tribe, now completely affiliated with the Dawn Territory, has gradually begun to abandon their former clan title. This does not have much psychological burden on them. Most of the Dark Green Sea Monsters deeply identify with the Dawn Territory and are grateful for this A life-saving grace.
Suddenly, a large group of jellyfish crowded into Lu Yu's field of vision. They were floating leisurely and lazily in mid-air.
The huge snail boat was buried diagonally on the beach near the sea, letting the tide beat gently. From the chambers in its body, jellyfish would emerge from time to time and then disappear quickly, as if they were playing with it.
"coral!"
Vera shouted towards the coral in front of her that was soaking in the sea water and pulling at her people. The coral then swung its tentacles, and her light body slowly floated up and then gently slid down to the ground, like a human being walking on the ground supported by her tentacles.
"How's it going? How have you been during this time?"
Coral said excitedly: "I have never had such a peaceful daily life. There is no fighting or fighting. Everyone here is willing to communicate with me calmly."
"I saw a convoy of wolves transporting goods. It was a handsome and burly alpha wolf. It was so friendly and even willing to lower its head and let me feel the touch of its fur."
"I also saw slimes that spit juice like cuttlefish. To be honest, I couldn't imagine that these round guys could act like servants... The ground was an eye-opener for me."
"The children of our tribe have made many friends. A doctor named Xinlu has taken away two small jellyfish and kept them as her companions. I am very happy that they can accept this group of people so quickly. Their wisdom is still low and they are still The groping, imitating child.”
"This is the conch boat?" Lu Yu discovered that this conch with demon-suppressing properties seemed to have never opened its eyes. If it weren't for its tentacles swinging subconsciously, people would even misunderstand that it was dead.
"It has not been able to rest for a long, long time, coexisting with us, and the challenges and attacks from other races in the ocean are so frequent that it has almost no time to relax. Now that it has arrived in the Dawn Territory, it seems to be very at ease, so it entered Repair time."
Lu Yu remembered what Hualu once said. Someone once had evil thoughts after being invited into the snail boat and wreaked havoc in an attempt to take away the treasure that contained the power of suppressing demons. It seems that the damage from that destruction has always existed. However, the external environment is harsh, and the snail boat must hold on and move forward together with the jellyfish in its body.
Sera took out the communication statue and informed the medical team. After a while, the well-prepared members of the medical team gathered around Luo Zhou.
"They may be able to help shorten the time it takes for the snail boat to repair itself. At the same time, this is also an opportunity for them to understand the body structure of aliens and gain experience and knowledge."
Coral's body once again released the purple color representing joy. Under the touch of her tentacles, Luozhou slowly opened its huge eyes. After listening, the tentacles spread, gently wrapping Xinlu and others tightly in its body.
No matter how many times he watched it, Lu Yu felt that this process was a bit relaxing...
"Coral, I still have some selfish motives." Lu Yu said.
"Selfish?"
"The craftsman team is currently trying to make demon-suppressing equipment to gain experience in making demon-suppressing equipment, so it needs some demon-suppressing materials."
The coral body suddenly burst into dazzling white light, and the surrounding jellyfish immediately gathered around.
"Go to the treasure house and move out all the demon suppression storage."
"No, no, no, we don't need so many. Those bastards who want to do everything and make breakthroughs in everything only need more than twenty beads. They plan to polish them and inlay them on the weapons, and then engrave the magic circle. Finally, I plan to try the 'scoring' process on top of it."
Lu Yu had a headache just thinking about it, but when he thought of Yucao's aggressive style, he couldn't say no. A lord shouldn't dampen the enthusiasm of his subordinates, not to mention that this group of people is so excellent, and every attempt is for the sake of success. Contribute to the future of Chenxi Ling.
"If you are lucky, the lord will be able to see the masterpieces of our craftsmen team when he comes back!"
Lu Yu's understanding of the sentence "if you are lucky" is basically equivalent to "the possibility of sending it away is not small, I need to take a gamble."
Even so, Hualu personally delivered more than thirty thumb-sized beads to Lu Yu.
"I still can't understand what your craftsmen are working towards, but I am willing to believe in every decision of my friend, please use it."
Waves of blue light flashed on the sea in the distance, and the fluctuations in magic power caused the tentacles entangled with briquettes and corals to loosen and look at them all.
The dark green siren who played with the jellyfish on the sea came back and reported what he had witnessed.
"Demi and the others are also engaging in massacre?"
Lu Yu clicked his tongue, but could only sigh.
It seems that the Krakens are indeed a little crazy. Facing the new species in the ocean that are gradually showing wisdom, they are afraid of returning to the depths of the sea. In order to prevent these new species from growing rapidly, they adopt surprisingly consistent strategies.
Vera seemed to have observed similar incidents. She said: "Demi is still somewhat restrained. The hunting rules of her Siren Kingdom are that if the new species approach the Siren people, the Siren can take the initiative to attack, but they must not hunt purely for the sake of hunting... However, in the specific implementation, the Siren below may have some deviations."
"The Siren of the Frost and Snow Islands are not so friendly. I heard from Miss Mile that they almost killed all the new species around the Frost and Snow Islands. The blood dyed the sea red. The fishermen in Kodzoen and Sligo don't even need to fish. They only need to know the direction of the ocean currents to find batches of food."
Vera added: "According to the standards set by Lady Sigrid, we will only hunt non-intelligent tribes. Don't worry about this."
Lu Yu's tentacles and Vera's tail and coral's tentacles clasped tightly again: "I don't know why, but now I always feel a little nervous when I see the sea... Maybe I'm too worried, but... This sea area of Dawn Territory is left to you to protect."
"Although I don't think Demi or some new species would want to fight with us now, but..." Vera said confidently, "If the war starts in the sea, we will definitely fight for Dawn Territory."
...
...
The smoke in the courtyard was curling, the boiling herbs were puffing, and the smell of the medicine that spread made Anna, who was wiping the injured arm of a deer-man hybrid child, get up quickly. She hurried to the stove and just picked up the medicine stove. The hotness from her fingertips made her quickly apply magic protection and pinch her earlobe with her fingers.
The caregiver on the side freed his hands and walked through the courtyard full of beds and people, and took over Anna's work.
"Dean, I'm really sorry. I didn't pay attention to the timing."
"It's okay. Everyone is busy. Just be careful."
Anna didn't care or complain. Since the magic tide began, Qidian Welfare House has become a place of hope for many poor people who can't afford the treatment costs.
The trade continent of Colai has also experienced terrible natural disasters in the past two years. Months of heavy rain and months of drought are just trivial dishes. The gift package of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis has put this continent in a dilemma where normal trade cannot be turned around. If it weren't for the wealthy family and the rich population resources of the surrounding continents, many port cities would have become history.
The name of the trade continent remains the same. The ports here are still busy every day. With the huge risk of the magic tide, ships shuttle day and night, but no one cares about those who are homeless after the disaster. They are like ants that hugged together to resist the flood but were eventually washed away. They wandered around in a daze in the city where they no longer have a place after the reconstruction.
The indentures became the last choice for most people, and many people turned around and sank into the darkness, blending into the soil that breeds corruption.
In the city of Borne, the lights were bright on the side close to the port, and there were revelries every night. The rich and powerful embraced each other, tasted fine wine, pointed out the troubled times, and then left their own marks on the slave waiters beside them. Finally, they left with satisfaction, stepped on the clean streets without wanderers, hummed a little song and returned to the warm house under the stars.
Abandoned houses stood in a row on the side far away from the port. These simple wooden buildings leaked on all sides. Even if they were wrapped tightly in blankets in the cold winter, they could only shiver. A straw mat and a piece of rag were all the belongings of the people living here. Anna and Isco saw them fighting for these only objects countless times, and they were stained with blood on the spot.
Those who died here would soon be taken away by the scavengers hired by the Commercial Alliance. This was the last mercy of the Commercial Alliance - not allowing the plague to breed.
The security at the junction of the slums and the port area is extremely poor. The sheriffs of the Business Alliance often only patrol symbolically at noon and in the evening. Even if they witness riots and fights, they turn a deaf ear. Their existence seems to only indicate that the Business Alliance is still here.
At first, the Starting Point Welfare House was still able to live a stable life, but as the surrounding shops were looted one after another, they were not spared after all.
One late night, a group of people climbed over the wall and entered the welfare house. They did not even cover their faces. Facing the caregivers who tried to stop them from looting medicinal materials and food, they did not have any awe, but drew their weapons without hesitation and hit them hard.
Anna caught several attackers, but after seeing their faces, she seemed to have been drained of strength and sat in a chair for a long time without saying a word.
The furious Isco wiped the blade, but was held down by Anna.
"When they came to the welfare house like dogs for help, we took great pains to heal them, gave them food, and sheltered them, but after they recovered from their wounds, they pointed their fangs at us!"
Isco threw his sword to the ground and pushed the door out angrily.
Anna finally chose to let them go, but since that night, she felt that something had changed in her heart.
She was born in the Church and believed in the God of Light devoutly. She also admired Pope Laurend, who protected the people like the sun. As one of the best missionaries, she had a kind heart educated by the Church, and she also believed that she could use it to comfort the hearts of those who went astray and guide them to the light.
But this idea was sighed by the Chosen One of Sera as "I also hope to have a heart like you all the time, and I hope you can keep it for a longer time."
At that time, Anna could not understand the words of the Chosen One of God, but after more than two years of running the welfare house, she suddenly had some enlightenment.
The mottoes left by the great puppet master Clorens before his death condensed his long life experience. He was like a prophet who saw all the dangers that would inevitably appear on this road, which were the decay that was enough to wear away kindness. .
No one can escape this curse.
Anna is stubborn. She has not given up. She is still holding on to the light in her heart. The orphanage still opens its arms to everyone.
But she might not be able to hold on any longer.
"How many times has this happened?" Isco asked with a frown, looking at the dead seabird sent to the orphanage.
"Lord Isko, this is already the fourth one in three days. It seems that if we don't agree to their conditions, we will just..." A nurse sighed heavily, took off his protective gear tiredly, and sat on the ground. .
"They asked for so many medicinal materials. We gave them to them wherever we went. What do the patients here use?" Isco was furious. "The old, weak, sick and disabled are all available here, let alone the previous earthquake." Those injured who have not yet recovered are still in urgent need of medicine. If he puts forward such a condition at this time, isn't he afraid of being cursed by the gods? "
"Has the communication with the nobles been effective?" Isco asked again.
"No, the other party said that several major nobles who had reached an agreement with us have refused to intervene in this matter. Many matters need to be re-drawn. Now that the communication is blocked, Mera Continent cannot oppress them..." The nurse shook his head again.
Isco punched the wall heavily, took a deep breath, and gasped. After a long time, he slowly said: "Make an appointment there. I want to talk to them face to face."
"Talk? You want to kill someone?"
Anna's sudden appearance made Isco at a loss. He was like a child who had done something wrong, hesitating and shouldn't look directly into Anna's eyes.
"Killing is easy, but have you ever thought about it, there are far more of them than us. Even if they don't target us, just targeting the patients here is enough to make us helpless."
Isco lowered his head dejectedly: "It's because I don't have the ability... If I could be stronger, I wouldn't be threatened..."
Anna hugged Isko's head: "It's okay. It's been more than two years. We haven't encountered many difficulties. Since we were able to persevere before, we can do it now. The three adults entrusted this place to us, although now Because of poor communication, they have no way of knowing what happened to us, but once they know..."
"Although it's not good to disturb your sweetness, I am really interested in your current situation."
The familiar voice made the two of them raise their heads in surprise.
