Chapter 458 Progress

"The irony is that precisely because the nobles and chambers of commerce in the city are relatively stingy, the retention of food is more optimistic than expected." The marksman said next to Griverman, with a look of surprise on his face. .

In a large city, food is a necessary material, and there are extraordinary people who specialize in food production.

Most of them are at the apprentice level, and they have to enter events every day and then obtain food.

Those incidents are usually wild boar invasion, rabbit infestation, food bird damage, etc.

For example, if wild boars invade, if you can drive away the wild boars, you can gain the gratitude of the villagers and harvest some vegetables from them.

If you can kill the wild boar, not only can you get vegetables, but you can also bring out most of the wild boar.

This is true for most apprentice-level events. The land in the event is normal and can grow various crops.

It is said that the battle between the gods of heaven and the mother of the earth never ceased until the sun god was completely victorious.

After Mother Earth attracted life from the ocean, although these lives provided a lot of help to Mother Earth in her battle, these lives were withering away day by day.

Mother Earth took a closer look and found that it was caused by the inability of the bodies to absorb nutrients after these beings left the ocean.

So the Earth Mother summoned these beings and treated herself as an outsider, so there was no harm to them.

Take it out and provide these beings with enough nutrients.

This deed has gradually evolved, that is, besides the land of damage, there is also a land of prosperity.

In a fertile land, the land is fertile and can nourish all things.

Many events are fertile places.

So much so that if you now find a fixed refreshed food resource event, some people will sigh and thank Mother Earth for her suckling.

The materials produced by such events will be sent to the city for storage, then divided by nobles, chambers of commerce, and knights, and finally flowed into civilian homes.

This circulation process results in a city having about ten days to half a month's worth of food stored in the city.

In addition, the nobility and other institutions also have emergency warehouse reserves, so in fact, if all the food is released, people in a city can eat for about a month.

Of course, even in the current situation, there are still many nobles who have not fully opened their private warehouses.

Their purpose is obvious, that is, if nothing can be done, they will still choose the previous strategy and wait until everyone is almost dead before taking action.

The hunger halo brought about by the super ghoul era can probably more than double a person's food intake.

In other words, the food currently available in the city can last for about seven days.

If you squeeze the nobles, you can get a few more days.

The reason is that because their food in the past was mixed with meat, the normal food consumption was less than expected, so the selling price of food was kept relatively low, and more food was stored.

This is also why the Archer says that food is relatively optimistic.

Most businessmen are like this. When the price of goods is low, they are not willing to sell them at a low price, even if they are thrown away or rotten.

For them, if the price goes up, don’t expect it to go down before losing money.

"Find a way to squeeze them again." Griverman nodded.

This incident should be resolved within five days if possible.

If you are slow, don’t delay it for more than seven days.

After seven days, people's confidence will drop by more than half each day.

According to Griverman's estimation, they would not be able to last for ten days. At eight or nine days, the nobles would start acting in their own way.

"Also, how is the manpower gathering in the city?" Compared with food, how to clear out those ghouls as soon as possible is more important.

The city of Locklefin has a population of hundreds of thousands.

But there are only one hundred thousand people who can truly be called people.

But those who have mastered extraordinary abilities only have less than 10,000.

Extraordinary is a profession that pays attention to threshold and resources.

Among the less than 10,000 people, about 9,000 are apprentices and formal-level people, there are hundreds of master-level people, and there are single digits at the legendary level.

And among these masters, there are still many who are production-oriented and not good at fighting.

In other words, this is normal. Locklefin is a big city, and it relies on these masters of production bias to attract various chambers of commerce and knights.

Most of Griverman's own weapons and armor are made by master craftsmen and enchanters.

He only has one legendary treasure.

This is not only true for the master level, but also for the apprentices and formal levels. Most of them are not very strong in combat. The city calculated and found that the nobles wanted to hold on to their pants, but some of the core members would not be willing to let go. out.

In addition, when facing ghouls at the apprentice level, if it were not for the fire ability, then facing the ghouls would basically be to deliver food.

The team that was finally able to pull up was more than a thousand people.

With more than a thousand people, it takes five to seven days to clear out tens of thousands of ghouls, which is very difficult.

After all, formal-level abilities are just like that. Killing a ghoul requires a long period of combat preparation and battle.

And it requires a long time of rest and recovery. The official battery life is there. After all, there is still the impact of the hunger aura.

If you can kill two or three ghouls a day, you are an experienced hunter in the official level.

A common situation is that in one day, with the cooperation of several people, two or three animals are killed using traps.

This is life-threatening.

If Qin is not careful, he will die. Everyone will be careful and cautious.

Faced with this situation, Griffman made great efforts and led his team to the front,

deep into the mine.

At the same time, the harpist who sang before was outside, playing her harp and singing softly, providing assistance to all the warriors.

Her innate ability is singing, and with the various characteristics carefully prepared, those who hear her singing can get a great bonus.

The second day, most of the ghouls in other places were cleared, and it is expected that the clearing will be completed tomorrow.

Next, we only need to guard against the generation of some new ghouls.

The focus is still on the mine in the core area, where it is expected that there are still 5,000 ghouls, and the proportion of elites is also high.

"We will definitely take it down within three days." Griffman came out of the mine with a confident look.

In the past two days, he took people down the mine, and the main purpose was to explore the route and find the king of ghouls.

In the dim mine, various forks are extremely complicated, and the map given by the nobles can only be used as a reference.

It is extremely dangerous to fight inside without understanding the situation.

Although he is a top legend, he is still a human being and there will be times when he runs out of energy.

If he is surrounded by the tide of ghouls, plus a few ghoul kings, he may not be able to survive.

"Everything depends on the next three days!"
